- Monica Dutton: [Monica raised the question, what is the definition of power] It's the ability to direct or influence another's behavior or a course of events.That's what I have... I can remove you from this class and fail you. I can send you before the dean for violating the student code of conduct. These are all things that can alter the course of your life. That's power. And you don't have any.

- Monica Dutton: When Christopher Columbus first came in contact with Native Americans, it was the Arawak people in the Bahamas. I'll read to you from Columbus's journal: "They willingly traded us everything they owned..." They do not bear arms, and do not know them, for I showed them a sword, they took it by the edge and cut themselves out of ignorance.They will make fine slaves... With fifty men we could subjugate them all "and make them do whatever we want." You ever feel like that, Trent? Ever feel like making someone do you want, whether they want to or not? It's a very European mentality, stemming from the oppressive political and religious structures of the Renaissance. Kings and priests with absolute power ruling masses who have none. That was the mentality of the men who discovered America. And it is the mentality our society struggles with today... What you know of history is a dominant culture's justification for its actions. And I don't teach that. I'll teach you what happened. To my people. And to yours. Because we are all the descendants of the subjugated
- Jimmy Hurdstrom: So they named their team after a cat that, like, got out of the house?
- Rip Wheeler: Just a little reminder, Lloyd. They might let us stay here and get old and rusted, but we're just tools. And that's all we'll ever be.
- Felix Long: You two were married in ceremony. Not in some courthouse. Ceremony. That means you're married to him in the afterlife, no matter what you do in this life. You two are stuck together.
- Mel Thompson: This opportunity is what you make of it, Monica.
- Mel Thompson: See, a university is like its own little world. And this whole world is open to you now. So, go enjoy it.
- Beth Dutton: It wasn't a pelican.
- Mr. Pelican: Sure looked like one.
- Beth Dutton: Did it fly away when you drove up?
- Mr. Pelican: No, it sat in the center of the pond the whole time we were here.Haven't seen it since, though.
- Beth Dutton: That's because it was a decoy. A big strange bird in the middle of the pond scares away other birds. Birds that like to eat the trout in the pond.Got any trout in the pond?
- Mr. Pelican: Not like we used to.
- Beth Dutton: This is how many acres?
- Sotheby's Agent: 324.Listing price is 4.9.
- Beth Dutton: How motivated are the sellers?
- Sotheby's Agent: Well, they tried to spend the winter here.
- Beth Dutton: All right.Offer 3.5.No escrow. Cash. Seven day close.
- Sotheby's Agent: Don't you want to see it first?
- Beth Dutton: I'm seeing it now.
- Sotheby's Agent: Okay... I'll head to the office and write up the offer... Actually, let me show you one more.Now, this one isn't on the market- But I know the property well, and I think...
- Beth Dutton: Then why are you showing it to me? You said every large property in the county... For sale... .It's called the Pelican Ranch...
- Bob Schwartz: Why is it called the Pelican Ranch?
- Sotheby's Agent: Maybe they saw a goose and thought it was a pelican, who the fuck knows. It's 1,100 acres
- Beth Dutton: What's with the wit? Doing some fast math on your commission make you a little cocky? Feeling good? Showing us properties that aren't for sale? Boy, you're on a tear. You might even go home and lay some pipe to the old lady. Look at you, with your your capped teeth and spray tan. Get out of my office.
- Monica Dutton: So weird, I can't feel it.
- Cowboy: It not your nerves... it's your brain's ability to process the information your nerves are transmitting...
- Kayce Dutton: Maybe it's a little soon to come home.
- John Dutton: Yeah, well, I could say the same to you.
- Kayce Dutton: What's that mean?
- John Dutton: It means, you don't fight, Kayce. Understand me?If wranglers get worked over, then wranglers handle it.
- Kayce Dutton: How am I supposed to sleep in the same room with men I won't defend?
- John Dutton: You aren't.I'm gonna fix that problem, too.
- Rip Wheeler: You wanted to see me, sir?
- John Dutton: Yeah, have a... have a seat. In a lot of ways, you're the only person I can trust, Rip. Because you're the only person that doesn't benefit when I'm gone.You do it for me.
- Rip Wheeler: Yes, sir. and I always will.
- John Dutton: I hope so.'Cause what I'm asking next... it'll be the hardest. Kayce needs to learn how to run this place.Needs to learn how to lead these men.And he can't do that while he's living with them. You understand what I'm asking?
- Therapist: We need to isolate the muscles without overstressing them.
- Beth Dutton: And when you get your commission, I want you to shove it up your waxed ass, you cheesy motherfucker!
- Kayce Dutton: There ain't no fightin' on this ranch. You wanna fight, you come fight me.
- John Dutton: When you know it's comin', tomorrow stops factoring into your decisions.
- Beth Dutton: She left you because she was afraid that you would turn into him. Instead of proving her wrong, you come here and take the crash course on how to do it.
- Monica Dutton: Misogyny. How refreshing. You work in a Pocahontas joke, you'll hit the trifecta.
