"Rust Cohle: What do you think the average IQ of this group is, huh? Marty Hart: Can you see Texas up there on your high horse? What do you know about these people? Rust Cohle: Just observation and deduction. I see a propensity for obesity. Poverty. A yen for fairy tales. Folks puttin' what few bucks they do have into a little wicker basket being passed around. I think it's safe to say nobody here's gonna be splitting the atom, Marty. Marty Hart: You see that. Your fucking attitude. Not everybody wants to sit alone in an empty room beating off to murder manuals. Some folks enjoy community. A common good. Rust Cohle: Yeah, well if the common good's gotta make up fairy tales, then it's not good for anybody."
