I agree with most of what was said re Quarles(Including that a less-talented actor would not be able to make that even slightly convincing...it's only thanks to NM that I bought that.) Is Raylan bad at testifying or is he "bad at testifying"? Was there a plan, or did his hormones get in the way? "Next time you say you're bad at something, I'm gonna believe you." Love Art's delivery, as always.
You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

I got the sense that Raylan didn't want to be there and never did. I'm not sure how much more to read into it.

Yeah, it's not that I didn't get that.

of course, I meant that I wasn't sure if I was supposed to see more to it. I didn't, but I miss shit all the time.

I probably wouldn't wonder if everybody on that show didn't seem to operate on multiple levels...however, just because Raylan's larger-than-life doesn't mean he can't half-ass something, even though he usually doesn't.

I don't think he had a plan so much as he realized more or less while he was testifying that keeping Dickie in jail was not necessarily what he most wanted. And testifying as a victim rather than as a lawman was really sticking in his craw.
Art and Vasquez tried so hard, though. Poor guys.

I also think Raylan was going off of what Loretta said about wedding testimonies and saying exactly what you're thinking.

I think so much this. It so went against his macho self image to say "He caught me, tied me to a tree, and used me as Pinata. And it hurt like hell." What he said was true on some level but it was also bullshit to avoid having to admit that he really was the victim.
