- Beth Dutton: Have you given any thought at all to the ranchers who live here, and what'll happen to them?
- Roarke Morris: Happen to them? They won't have to be ranchers anymore 'cause they're all so f***in' rich.
- Beth Dutton: Good answer.
- Beth Dutton: The Sporting Club.
- Roarke Morris: Yeah?
- Beth Dutton: Good place for an airport.
- Roarke Morris: It is.
- Beth Dutton: What kind of airport? Is it the kind of airport for you and your buddies' Gulfstreams?
- Roarke Morris: Thinking a little bigger than that.
- Beth Dutton: How much bigger?
- Roarke Morris: Two terminals. Fifty-two gates.
- Beth Dutton: Why here?
- Roarke Morris: Wind. For one. There isn't much. Could build northeast of Livingston, but... too much wind. And let's be honest, people don't want to fly, then drive another hour to ski. It's why Big Sky never took off. It's the largest mountain in America. The best snow in this hemisphere and the slopes are empty because of the drive. People are just that goddamn lazy.
- Beth Dutton: Did you secure a forest service lease?
- Roarke Morris: I didn't secure anything. I manage a fund that invests their capital. I sit on the board so I know what's happening, but I don't control what's happening.
- Beth Dutton: Hm.
- Roarke Morris: You, on the other hand... Militias and casino owners killing their competition.It's fucking fascinating. The Old West. Still wild. Not anymore. Not when we get here. All that shit stops.
- Beth Dutton: Think so, do you?
- Roarke Morris: Pretend your family doesn't live here. Pretend you don't know anything about this place. What would your end game be?
- Beth Dutton: I'd turn it into Park City.
- Roarke Morris: Now you're talking. Dan Jenkins was a smart guy. But his dreams just weren't big enough. Why dream about building golf courses when you can build cities?And you, your family's the largest landowner in the valley, you've made Schwartz and Meyer the second largest. Don't play babe in the woods with me. You've been head-hunting since Salt Lake.
- Beth Dutton: I feel ridiculous asking this, but I'm just so curious about how your pickled mind works: have you given any thought at all to the ranchers who live here? And what'll happen to them?
- Roarke Morris: What'll happen to them? They won't have to be ranchers anymore because they're all so fucking rich.
- Beth Dutton: Good answer.
- Roarke Morris: My dad told me once: there will come a day when the only noble job left is fishing because no one's figured out a way to own the ocean.
- Beth Dutton: Yet.
- Roarke Morris: That's right. I'm working on it.
