    Based on my research (watching Justified on FX) they’d sidle up to the executive, say a few pithy lines and draw down on and kill him when he goes for his gun or pen, walk away putting their Stetson back on, then get chewed out by their bosses.

      I’ve heard this show is great, and I love me some Walton Goggins… But I’ve tried a couple of times and man the beginning is a slog.

      Maybe I’ll give it another shot.

            It’s honestly been long enough that I don’t remember. I do remember really liking season 2, however. There’s a lot of character development over the course of the series.
