Jack Langrishe: (to Chesterton) Dost thou know Dover? There is a cliff whose high, unbending head looks fearfully on the confined deep. Bring me but to the brim of it, and from that place... I shall no leading need. Here’s the fly tower. If you mount up, take firm a rail in each hand. (edit) Jack Langrishe: Perhaps, Al, given the sleigh ride which ensues, the best connection to leviathan may not be by harpoon. (edit) Al Swearengen: I say, or else I’d have known of ‘em, there was no road agents. I say... to make a hero’s entrance into camp, you and your friend kicked up dust, whooped and hollered and played all the parts yourselves. (edit) Cy Tolliver: Pay the man Leon.
Wyatt Earp: I didn't make my point.
Cy Tolliver: You did to me. (edit) Hearst: Very constructive reminder in this morning's edition, twelve days to the election. Will you continue to show that calendar? Eleven, ten days, so on?
Merrick: Assuming my press stays intact. (edit)

The "rake" is the slope in which the seats in a theatre are usually arranged. It is measured by the number of horizontal units before each new vertical one. In this case, 18:1 would be 18 horizontal units in 1 vertical one. (edit) The fly tower that Jack refers to, during his scene with Chesterton at the end of the episode, is a part of a theatre above the stage where flat scenery (such as cloths or stage lights) are stored and "flown in" when needed. (edit) Some of the lines that Jack and Chesterton exchange at the end are from "King Lear", by William Shakespeare. (edit)
