- Kayce Dutton: It's gonna be a shit show no matter what we do. May as well do it fast. Less time for things to go wrong.
- John Dutton: Your logic is so flawed, son, it... hell, it almost makes sense.
- Tate Dutton: Why can't we ride with them?
- Lloyd Pierce: 'Cause that's a pretty rough haul. Old Blue Jeans, he ain't got any more mountains in him.
- Tate Dutton: Who's Blue Jeans?
- Lloyd Pierce: Blue Jeans is the horse you're gonna be ridin'. He's almost as old as your daddy. In fact, I remember when your daddy used to run all over hell and gone on that son of a...
- Monica Dutton: [clears throat]
- Lloyd Pierce: Son of a gun.
- Carolyn Nelson: This is the funeral. I ain't spendin' a dime burying him. That coward can rot where he lays.
- Kayce Dutton: He's got kids, don't he?
- Sheriff Donnie Haskell: He's got two of them.
- Kayce Dutton: Bank take those, too?
- Sheriff Donnie Haskell: Well, soon as the Medical Examiner releases a death certificate, Kayce, bank takes everything.
- Kayce Dutton: Can't take them if they're not here. What if we round them up, and take them down to Billings and put them in a sale? Give those kids some sort of chance at life. Is that legal?
- Sheriff Donnie Haskell: Hell, no, it ain't legal. And I'm not so sure that violating probate law should be your first act as livestock commissioner, either.
- Kayce Dutton: Yeah.What if it was, though, where would you stand on it?
- Sheriff Donnie Haskell: He was my cousin, Kayce. That's where I stand. If you wanna do it, I'll look away, but if the bank finds out, you are up to your neck in trouble.
- Thomas Rainwater: You've become a very difficult man to get a hold of.
- John Dutton: Yeah, well, I have this new rule: I only carry my phone in places with no service. Otherwise that son of a bitch stays on the kitchen counter.
- Thomas Rainwater: Well, I envy you that luxury. I thought it was time we discuss our new problem.
- John Dutton: Yeah. Doesn't seem to be going away on its own, does it?
- Thomas Rainwater: Not this one. The FAA has approved a portion of your land as the airport location, as I'm sure you're aware. The state will make an offer and after you refuse...
- John Dutton: The attorney general handles eminent domain cases for the state, and I'm not concerned with that office anymore.
- Thomas Rainwater: It's the Governor's decision.
- John Dutton: I'm not worried about that office either.
- Thomas Rainwater: It's four thousand jobs, John.In a state where that makes a difference. Not supporting this will cost her the office.
- John Dutton: Well, I'm surprised you're against it, Tom.An airport right down the street from your casino, I'm no hotel manager, but that sounds like a good thing to me.
- Thomas Rainwater: I have some ownership issues with the casino property.
- John Dutton: Well, I'm not going to help you with the problem that prevents you from building a casino.I don't want a casino any more than I want an airport.
- Thomas Rainwater: I don't really want another casino either. It's an insulting... and wickedly ironic... revenue stream for an Indian Nation. It is a means to an end and that end is this valley looking like it did before a white man stepped foot on it. We want the same thing for very different reasons. And we can have our fight later, but we'll have nothing to fight over if they build a city here.
- John Dutton: Well, I agree with you on that.
- Thomas Rainwater: You know my business background. It's never one fight that determines if a project moves forward. It's an accumulation of fights. Corporations hate "complicated". And they need to see a return. They have the money. They have the manpower. They have the influence and the reach, but the one thing corporations never have is time.It's their only enemy.And that's how we beat them. We give them a dozen things that take time.Now, I have someone with a reputation of finding those things.And she is merciless when she's found them.
- John Dutton: Well... I have one of those, too.
- Thomas Rainwater: I'm aware.That's why I'm here.I think they should meet. Put their heads together.Then who knows what mischief they'll come up with together.
- [MUSIC]
- John Dutton: I'm just warning you: this genie does not go back in the bottle.
- Thomas Rainwater: Neither does mine.
- County Attorney Randy: [Receptionist said "Attorney General on line three] Attorney General?
- [Receptionist said "line three"]
- County Attorney Randy: Is this AG Stewart or AG elect Reid?
- Jamie Dutton: It's newly appointed AG Dutton.
- County Attorney Randy: Jamie?
- Jamie Dutton: I just thought you should hear from me directly, as the highest ranking law enforcement officer in the state, that my office is available for anything that you might need. If there are any unresolved issues that need resolving. Can you think of anything, Randy?
- County Attorney Randy: No. No, there's no unresolved issues.
- Jamie Dutton: I'm glad to hear it.
- County Attorney Randy: Who'll be the new livestock commissioner?
- Jamie Dutton: Kayce.
- County Attorney Randy: [SIGHS, CHUCKLES] How in the hell did you manage all of this, Jamie?
- Jamie Dutton: You know, I ask myself that same question.To be honest with you, Randy, I think I just willed it to happen. Let me know if there's something I can will for you.
- County Attorney Randy: Will do.
- Jamie Dutton: You're welcome.
- County Attorney Randy: Thank you.
- Kayce Dutton: You're having a barn dance or something?
- John Dutton: [LAUGHS] Yeah. They're cutting loose. They had one hell of a day.Now it sounds like they're gonna have one hell of a night. It's a good thing you did today. You broke a rule that shouldn't be a rule in the first place. And you did it for the right reasons.
- Kayce Dutton: Thanks. Hell, should we join 'em?
- John Dutton: I can't. I never had much luck leading men and being their friend. Maybe it can be different for you.Goodnight, son.
- A.G. Stewart: Repeat after me:
- A.G. Stewart, Jamie Dutton: I do solemnly swear that I will support, protect, and uphold the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Montana. nd that I will discharge the duties of my office with fidelity, so help me God.
- John Dutton: Say that last part again.
- Jamie Dutton: Um...
- [CLEARS THROAT]
- Jamie Dutton: And that I will discharge the duties of my office with fidelity.
- John Dutton: So help you God.
- Jamie Dutton: So help you God.
- Beth Dutton: You know, it's 5 o'clock. Shouldn't you be in a river somewhere?
- Roarke: Bulletin. Rocks.
- [Bartender says "yes sir"]
- Roarke: There's nothing I love more than to be on the river, but instead, I'm here trying to figure out - why you are poking a grizzly.
- Beth Dutton: Mm. You don't keep them when you catch them.
- Roarke: No.
- Beth Dutton: You throw them back.
- Roarke: Yes.
- Beth Dutton: I could respect you if you ate them. That makes sense to me. But of all the shit a trout has to go through in a day... eagles trying to eat them, raccoons trying to eat them, otters, ospreys, bigger fish, hawks. It also has to wonder if every floating dead insect has a fucking hook in it because you think it fighting you for its life... is fun.
- Roarke: It doesn't hurt the fish. They don't process pain the way other animals do...
- Beth Dutton: [LAUGHS] What fucking pescatarian told you that, huh?It is fascinating that the one vertebrate on this planet that doesn't rely on pain as a survival device is the one that you like to hook in the fucking mouth.
- Roarke: To be honest, I could give a shit if it hurts the fish. I don't like the way it tastes.That's why I throw them back.
- Beth Dutton: Well, why didn't you say that in the first place, huh?That I understand.
- Roarke: [SIGHS] Schwartz and Meyer shorting our stock is like a terrorist bomb a subway.It doesn't stop the subways and it doesn't destroy the city the subway serves.It just hurts some people, and not the people you want to hurt. But it does make the people you want to hurt want to hurt you back.
- Beth Dutton: You going to try and hurt me back, is that what you're trying to say? Hmm? Because I have been down this road many, many times before, buddy. And no one who tried it is alive to tell you how poorly that worked out for them.
- Roarke: What, are you saying you're going to hire a fucking hitman to come after me if I come after you? We could buy Schwartz and Meyer fifteen times over. That land is not your family's legacy. It is a relic that will continue to appreciate until your family can no longer afford it and then you will lose it. Wealth is the only legacy left, and you know it. Fight us and you'll lose all your money and you lose the land. Or be the smart business woman you are and make us a deal that creates a real legacy for your family. Five, six hundred-million dollars. Generational wealth.
- Beth Dutton: I agree on all fronts, Roarke. I do. And I wish to God that he would do that, but he won't. So, we fight.
- Roarke: You're sealing yourself into the Alamo, Beth. And these guys won't take prisoners either.
- Beth Dutton: I look forward to it.
- Roarke: Stop shorting my fucking stock, please.
- Beth Dutton: Well, stop making it so fucking easy.
- Roarke: Could you at least do it in after hours trading so I can fucking fish?
- Beth Dutton: Well, that I can do. I will short your stock in after-hours trading so you can torture trout.
- Roarke: Thank you.
- Beth Dutton: You're welcome.
- Roarke: You think you're up for this fight, Beth. You have no idea how wrong you are.
- Beth Dutton: Well, right back at you. You are the trailer park. I am the tornado.
