- Translator: [John Dutton asks Interpreter to translate on behalf of Chinese Tourist] He says that it's wrong for one man to own all this. He says you should share with all of the people.
- Walker: You don't speak fucking horse neither, do you?
- Beth Dutton: How do you do that?
- Walker: Turn around and I can show you. How's that feel?
- Beth Dutton: Like you're three seconds away from being pepper sprayed.
- Walker: Yeah, well, that's what that horse is thinking when you get on him. Come on, tell me how that feels.
- Beth Dutton: It don't feel bad.
- Walker: How about that? Feels like you're scared.
- Beth Dutton: Mm-hmm.
- Walker: And how about that?
- Beth Dutton: Feels like you wanna hurt me.
- Walker: Yeah. Think about this. That horse can feel a fly land on its back. Imagine all it's feeling from you. Every emotion, every thought. If you're thinking it, you bet he's feeling it. Just get on him again and make your body tell him that everything's gonna be okay. Come on. No. Leave those down on his neck.
- Beth Dutton: Don't use the reins?
- Walker: You're asking him to trust you. You ain't gonna trust him? Ride him out.
- Christina: This is my favorite part of the campaign. Before the room is packed with people shouting, the terror of the polling numbers. No sleep and cold pizza.
- Jamie Dutton: Not a very good sales pitch of the process.
- Christina: It's hell. In every sense of the word. You know, but it's also exhilarating. The sense that we can make a difference. Shaping ideas into policy.
- Jamie Dutton: You know, I gotta be honest with you, I'm not an idealist. I don't want you to think my goal is changing the world.
- Christina: Well, what is your goal?
- Jamie Dutton: Power.
- Christina: You... You already have power.
- Jamie Dutton: I want more.
- Christina: Mm, what will you do with it if you get it?
- Jamie Dutton: Protect my family, and the families like it. Stop the hemorrhaging of Montana's resources to people in other states.My goal is the opposite of change.
- Christina: That's the most idealistic thing I've ever heard a politician say.
- John Dutton: Since 1886, every Dutton who died is buried 300 yards from my back porch. From my great-great-grandfather, to my wife, and my oldest son. When a tree grows on my ranch, I know exactly what fed it, and that's the best we can hope for, because nothing we do is for today.Ranching is the only business where the goal is to break even. Survive another season. Last long enough for your children to continue the cycle, and maybe, just maybe, the land is still theirs when a tree sprouts from you. Lord God, Lord God, give us rain and a little luck, and we'll do the rest.
- Evelyn Dutton: Beth.Beth.
- Young Beth: I'm in the bathroom.Mom, close the door.I'm sorry.
- Evelyn Dutton: Honey, you don't have anything to be sorry for.Why don't you take a warm bath? It'll help with the cramps.
- Young John Dutton: Evelyn?
- Evelyn Dutton: Don't come in here.Ah, just give us a few minutes.Let the boys open a present.
- Young John Dutton: Is she okay?
- Evelyn Dutton: She's fine.
- Evelyn Dutton: I'm gonna tell you something my mother told me, and you're not gonna like it.Everything's different now.All those boys you used to outrun and outwrestle, that's all done.And they're gonna look at you different.See you different.And then they're gonna look at you like you're less.Like you're somehow weaker today than you were yesterday.You're not, though. You're stronger than all of them.Because if men were responsible for giving birth, the human race wouldn't have lasted two generations.But after being treated like you're weaker long enough, you'll start to believe it, too.It's why I'm gonna have to be hard on you, honey.I have to turn you into the man most men will never be.And I'm sorry in advance for doing it.Because you're gonna hate it, sweetheart.I know I did.But I look back and I know my mother was right.It was the best gift she ever gave me.Now I have to give it to you.
- Emily Sessions: The property's essentially worthless without a water source.
- Doug: Worthless?A 90-acre hobby farm sold for $6 million down the street.With a water source.The water table on our property is 25 feet. I could dig a fucking well by hand.
- Emily Sessions: I'd love to see that. Your client already accepted our offer.All you're supposed to do is red line the fine print.
- Doug: The fine print sucks. You get our land for free and then write off construction costs for years before we see a dime. Fucking Indian tribe's trying to steal your land.
- Emily Sessions: The only reason you're not choking on irony is the size of your mouth.
- Melody Prescott: Can I remind everyone that our goal here is to make a deal?
- Thomas Rainwater: We agreed to a percentage as payoff.I can't afford your asking price and build a casino.
- Dan Jenkins: I know how this works.You won't spend a dime on construction. You'll go to Key Bank or TFA Capital and take a loan for the build.You'll outsource management, except for cushy jobs you hold for friends and family members.You'll negotiate a nice, fat consulting fee for yourself.Then give speeches about how much money it'll make for the school system.Look, I oversaw the California Lottery.I wrote the book on this bullshit. And I'm fine with all of this.But my piece of the pie will be as big as yours. Period.
- Thomas Rainwater: I have no family to give cushy jobs to.And every penny of profit will go exactly where I say it goes.We want the same thing, Dan. Just for different reasons.
- Dan Jenkins: I look at this contract, and I can't tell what you want.
- Thomas Rainwater: I want everything that John Dutton has.I want the Yellowstone. Do this with me, and I'll split it with you.
- Dan Jenkins: There may be ten men on this planet that can afford the Yellowstone, and you and I ain't one of them.
- Thomas Rainwater: I have a plan for that, too.
- Dan Jenkins: Yeah?Well, what is it?
- Thomas Rainwater: I only tell my partners that plan.And you are not my partner yet.Call me when you are.
- Melody Prescott: Oh, that went well.
- Doug: I'm not trying to sabotage the deal here, but, uh, if you cede ownership of the land, he will push you out, you will get nothing. That's his plan.
- Dan Jenkins: Is there a way that the percentage of the profit could become a percentage of ownership in the casino?
- Doug: Tribal Gaming Commission will never license you.
- Dan Jenkins: What about the hotel? We'll make the casino a separate structure. I own the hotel, he owns the casino.
- Doug: That might work.
- Dan Jenkins: Okay.Find a way to present it.
- Doug: I'll draft a proposal.
- Dan Jenkins: Okay.
- Dan Jenkins: Speaking of that, what are we doing?
- Melody Prescott: I have attorneys for Clean Water Resource filing a lawsuit against him for altering the flow of the waterway.Once we file, we can present it to the EPA.Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout spawns in that stream, which is a food source of the Grizzly Bear.That's a violation of the Endangered Species Act.And that is a felony.
- Dan Jenkins: Ah, well, as John Dutton would say, he fucked the wrong bull. Or fucked with it. I don't know, I can't keep these redneck sayings straight.
- Melody Prescott: But good job, Melanie.Good job.Very good.Very good.
- Jamie Dutton: It's very exciting to have you all here. It's humbling that you would donate your time, your passion, to the causes I believe in. That must mean that you believe in them, too. I promise you this, no matter how hard you work, I'll work harder. But the campaign is just the beginning. The real work starts after we've won, and I'm your new Attorney General.
