"Rust? You ever wonder...if you're Batman?"

I love how he never says, "I don't think I'm a bad man." He says, "I don't wonder." Implying that he has fully accepted that he is a bad man and has no qualms about it.

This series is riddled with great dialogue. Historians will recognize this piece.

Who

audio: "No I don't wonder, Marty. World needs bad men"

"I don’t think that man can love, at least not the way that he means. Inadequacies of reality always set in."

Just watched this season, one of the best pieces of television ever created

They're both monsters.

That's why they can hunt and catch monsters. That's why Rust can related to them and get them to confess and that's why Marty can live with committing violence and murder rather bringing monsters to justice. They can relate to the dark side of others and themselves. Rust is the bloodhound and Marty is the avenging posse.

Rust accepts it and wallows in it as a way of dealing with the pain of his daughter's death. He comforts himself with the idea that nothing has meaning or purpose and that it's all some sad accident. Rust lets it show and because of that he's repellent to others. Publicly he rails against redemption while secretly hoping for redemption.

Marty struggles against it, clings to the belief he is doing good and uses his family as a shield against it. Once that family and belief are stripped away, he loses the "moral high ground" of being what he pictures as a "good man" and discovers, uncomfortably, that he is a monster. Marty tries to hide it and he is attractive to others. Publicly he espouses redemption while secretly questioning if redemption truly exists.

To me that tension between belief and doubt, hope and despair, love and indifference, all encapsulated in the partnership of Marty and Rust, is what drives the show. In the end, there are no resolution of that tension. The show makes no choice or declaration of who is right and who is wrong and that's what makes the show so great.

Excellent story telling.

The way Rust light the cigarette and how its still on fire when he takes the first drag in…is pretty awesome.

...Rust turns off the radio just as that baby starts wailing... absolutely devastating to notice

Probably my favorite dialogue at:53 in the first season.

I love this quote because it can give hope and inspiration even to those who don't feel they deserve it and those who don't actually deserve it. You don't need to be a good man but you can use that for good, wont change that your bad but you don't need to be a monster. and with that you remove a threat to the world and pit it against the others.
