* Almost any kind of interaction between Swearengen and Mr. Wu turns out like this, thanks to them each understanding maybe five words of the other man's language.

** "[[WhosOnFirst NOT WU, WHO,]] YOU IGNORANT FUCKING CHINK!"
** There's even a BilingualBonus moment when Swearengen tries to explain the enmity between him and Hearst using a term--"bak gwai lo"--he'd heard Wu use about people Wu didn't like. Wu's confused expression becomes hilarious if you know that Swearengen just called himself and Hearst "white devils." Rather appropriate...
