* BeleagueredBoss: [[DaChief Chief Deputy Marshall]] Art Mullen spends much of his time all but muttering 'What now?' as he tries to keep his deputy marshalls in line and out of trouble. When a [[SocialClimber social climbing]] Deputy Marshall comes around hinting that it might be time for Art to retire so he can take over Art's job, Art gives an epic description of what he's dealing with:
-->'''Art Mullen:''' You came here about the job, right? You need to hear about this. I got a young kid here, decorated sniper in Iraq War, Army Ranger, I don't know how many kills he had. Always lookin' to kill somebody else. [[ShellShockedVeteran Probably got PTSD.]] Probably an [[FunctionalAddict alcoholic]]. Not a matter ''if'' that powder keg is gonna blow but ''when''. I got a lady marshall here. Brought in two of the top fifteen fugitives to this office, but she's always tryin' to prove herself. I thought she was gonna be the one that would take this office over when I got ready to retire, but now she's left her husband so it's gonna be fun to monitor her emotional state over the next year, see if she can keep it together. Then I got a [[CowboyCop local boy]], born in Harlan county, been investigated so many times internal affairs has got him on speed dial. [[ArchnemesisDad Father's in prison]] for murderin' two people, including a [[CopKiller state trooper]], and his daddy killed somebody else last night in prison and ''I'' get to be the one to tell him about it!
