Other than CckScker!
This lesson from Al is one of my favorite moments

One of the lines that made me laugh the hardest was when Al was recovering and he couldn't walk regularly quite yet and Jewel is standing at the bar and says, "He's always dragging that god damned leg around."
"Well that ship has sailed" -

"So including last night, thats three fing damage incidents that didnt kill you. Pain or damage dont end the world, or despair, or fin beatings. The world ends when youre dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man and give some back"

Too many good ones, but to go with a single line rather than bit of dialogue:
Some goddamn time, a man's due to stop arguing with hisself, feeling twice the goddamn fool he knows he is because he can't be something he tries to be every goddamn day without once getting to dinnertime and not ******* it up. I don't want to fight it no more. Understand me, Charlie? And I don't want you pissing in my ear about it. Can you let me go to hell the way I want to? -

"Welcome to f@cking Deadwood!"
But you have to add the, "Can be combative"!
That's my favorite line. I also love Al's follow up later, "Cow-eyed kid looking from that coachthat's what f#ckin' unmanned me". What a statement about Al.. -

The interesting thing about that line is that "can be combative" was actually not a line but a dialogue direction in the script for how to say the previous line McShane accidentally took it as dialogue and it ended up working out well!

I'm never anyone's first pick for appreciating fancy prose and yet the writing in "Deadwood" stands out. It's head and shoulders above the writing in any series I've watched, there's no mistaking something this exceptional. The writers respected the viewer's intelligence enough to go all out with the script and give it their best. The reason I appreciate it so much is, it's not just fancy for the sake of being fancy - the intricacy, intelligence and (top rate) humor never felt forced.

I'm revisiting and have just started on season 2. there are so many great lines, but one that go me today was when Al opens a letter in front of Dan and Silas, and immediately reaches for his magnifying glass "Yes, it has descended to this." (I feel his pain)

"San Francisco corksoaker!"
So many fantastic lines of dialogue. Tell me something pretty, Milch. We need the Deadwood movie to happen.

My two favorites are never mentioned. I don't know how
Jane : Aint it always a trial picking out the gown that best conceals you pissed yourself (to Johnny when he explains Al is getting dressed and will be a moment).
Utter : How much they pay you to hold that building up (to Jane as she drunkenly leans head forward into a buildings wall) -

Yes, my first time watching just started the second season and Calamity Jane steals every scene she's in, but that quote about picking out a gown etc was one that stuck out and made me laugh. I also like when she arrived at docs earlier in the same episode attached to her horse and explained to him that it was something that she had made herself to stop herself falling off when she was blind drunk.

I wanna know who cut the cheese. [nobody answers] Ill tell you this for openers: we are gonna set off an area on the balcony. [opens the door to the balcony] And God help whoever doesnt use it, because the next stink I have to smell in this office, and whoever doesnt admit to it is going out the window, into the muck, onto their beep heads, and well see how they like farting from that position, okay?

Wild Bill: You know the sound of thunder, Mrs. Garret?
Alma Garret: Of course.
Wild Bill: Can you imagine that sound if I asked you to?
Alma Garret: Yes, I can, Mr. Hickok.
Wild Bill: Your husband and me had this talk, and I told him to head home to avoid a dark result. But I didn't say it in thunder. Ma'am, listen to the thunder.
Wolcott: Past hope. Past kindness or consideration. Past justice. Past satisfaction. Past warmth or cold or comfort. Past love. But past surprise? What an endlessly unfolding tedium life would then become.
Wild Bill: Sure you wanna quit playing, Jack? The game's always between you and getting called a beep dropped eye of yours looks like the hood on a beep to me, Jack. When you talk, your mouth looks like a beep moving.
Jack McCall: I ain't gonna get in no gun fight with you, Hickok.
Wild Bill: But you will run your beep mouth at me. And I will take it, to play poker.
