- Lloyd Pierce: Makes you wonder... who's gonna feed this world when there's none of us left?
- John Dutton: Nobody, Lloyd. The world's just gonna go hungry.
- John Dutton: Know what dreams are? It's your memories and your imagination all mixed together into this soup of what's real and what's made up. But the thing about this soup is: you can change the ingredients, Tate.
- Monica Dutton: Look at you guys. I thought moving the class outside for a day would get you off your phones, but you're still staring at your tiny screens. liking photos of people you've never met and commenting on their lives while they comment on yours. Do you have any idea what is happening in the world you live in? Do you think that the photo on your screen has anything to do with that world? The world you live in is slowly shrinking. There is a tiny a group of men who are buying it and stripping it naked and selling you what they extract. They are raping your world and selling you what they take. I mean, they sell you the water you drink, the air you breathe and you line up for it like sheep. They will kill your brother and steal your child and pollute everything you love. And you'll never notice because you're so hypnotized by a world that doesn't exist. Well... What a waste of my fucking time.
- Colby Mayfield: [to Jimmy] Take into consideration that you gotta have a brain in order to get it concussed. So, you'll be all right.
- Beth Dutton: [spills her drink down her chest] Oops. Let me pour you another.
- Rip Wheeler: No. No you don't. I'll take that one.
- Rip Wheeler: Y'all lost?
- Ellis Steele: Uh, it's a possibility. Uh, is this part of the Paradise Valley Sporting Club?
- Kayce Dutton: Wrong side of that fence.
- Ellis Steele: Ah. I told you.
- [chuckles]
- Kayce Dutton: You all staying at the Sporting Club?
- Ellis Steele: Uh, they own it.
- Rip Wheeler: Who are they?
- Ellis Steele: Providence Hospitality management. I'm Ellis Steele. my firm is representing Market Equities.
- Kayce Dutton: We don't know what that is.
- Ellis Steele: They manage resort properties. We watch out for their interests. This your land? Incredible. I didn't catch your name?
- Kayce Dutton: That's cause I didn't offer it.
- Ellis Steele: Fair enough. We'll get out of your way. You know, I can understand you being wary, bunch of city folks wandering in your field. I apologize. Why don't you come by the resort and have dinner, on us? After all, you're going to be neighbors, it's best if we all get along.
- Beth Dutton: The properties highlighted in red are the ones we've purchased.
- Bob Schwartz: How much acreage total?
- Beth Dutton: A little over 17,000.
- Bob Schwartz: [chuckles] Ooh, damn. Good job, Beth.
- Beth Dutton: It's what you pay me to do.
- Bob Schwartz: Any of it commercially zoned?
- Beth Dutton: Most of the highway frontage is multi-use. But the corner properties, they're commercial. Why, what you thinking?
- Bob Schwartz: I want you to hold off on the conservation easements.
- Beth Dutton: That income offsets our tax liability.
- Bob Schwartz: I know, but there could be bigger income on the horizon.Market Equities bought Jenkins' place. Hired a hotel management group to oversee it.
- Beth Dutton: That was fast.
- Bob Schwartz: The estate didn't have a choice. He was losing six figures a month. Bank was going to call the note.
- Beth Dutton: So, who is running the property now?
- Bob Schwartz: Providence.
- Beth Dutton: That's a big company.
- Bob Schwartz: It's the one you bring in when your goal is expansion. And your expansion is bigger than casinos and golf courses.
- Beth Dutton: You heard any rumors about their plans?
- Bob Schwartz: Probably the same as their plans in Austin and Scottsdale. Beth, keep buying. Buy every fucking thing you can get your hands on.
- Beth Dutton: Will do.
- Ellis Steele: Are you counsel for Chairman Rainwater?
- Thomas Rainwater: I am Chairman Rainwater.
- Ellis Steele: Huh. Ellis Steele, my firm is representing Market Equities. It would be best if you spoke through legal counsel.
- Thomas Rainwater: I'll speak for myself.
- Ellis Steele: Without counsel present or advising, you could claim lack of capacity and the court could nullify any agreement suggested or implied.
- Thomas Rainwater: Are you saying I'm incapable of understanding you when you speak?
- Ellis Steele: Unclear at the moment. But I can assure you this: When I'm done, my client's position will be perfectly clear
- News Reporter: There was a closed door meeting with the Governor, the Attorney General, Federal Officials, and Livestock Commissioner John Dutton.Now, Dutton's office is under intense scrutiny for its use of force in multiple gun battles that led to the death of both Beck brothers...
- Kayce Dutton: We're running out of hay. Feeding cattle all summer is no way to make a living.
- Rip Wheeler: Shit, we'll just do it like the old days: grab a chuck wagon, bring it out here and we'll babysit 'em all summer long.
- Thomas Rainwater: When there's one thing that two men want, they can either share it or be enemies. Are you suggesting we share it?
- Beth Dutton: Can I make a suggestion?
- John Dutton: Yeah, as long as it's you.
- Beth Dutton: Can't be me.
- John Dutton: I need family in that office, Beth.
- Beth Dutton: You can have family in that office.
- John Dutton: I can't trust him. All he does is prove it.
- Beth Dutton: You can trust him to be exactly what he is. Jamie will always do what is best for himself, Dad. And he will use the office to become popular with his constituents. His constituents are ranchers. What's good for their ranches is good for ours.
- Monica Dutton: Kayce used to tell me what a war it was for you, keeping this place. When this land belonged to my people a hundred and fifty years ago, children were stolen and men were killed. Families herded away like cattle. And nothing's changed. Except you're the Indian now.
- John Dutton: Maybe so.
- Kayce Dutton: I'm sorry about the Commission. It's just not me.
- John Dutton: You're my son.I know exactly who you are. And don't you ever be sorry for it.
- Roarke: I see the women in this valley have gotten a lot more fashionable.
- Beth Dutton: Yeah? I see Chippendale's changed their policy on capped teeth.
- Roarke: What's that?
- Beth Dutton: It's an insult. Never mind.
- Roarke: Only an insult if I understand it.
- Beth Dutton: Yeah, that's not true. But that's a conversation for another time. that we'll never have. Both sides of the river are private property.
- Roarke: I know. That's why I can't get out.
- Beth Dutton: Well, how did you get in?
- Roarke: My family owns a place upriver. Cross Creek Ranch. You know it?
- Beth Dutton: Yeah, that's five miles upstream.
- Roarke: I was blessed with stamina.
- Beth Dutton: I highly doubt it.
- Roarke: When I played golf, I'd do 36 holes in a day. I like this much better. It's just like golf, but with fish. You have any interest in dinner?
- Beth Dutton: No.
- Roarke: I meant in general.
- Beth Dutton: No. I dine on my joy for life.
- Roarke: Ah.
- Beth Dutton: Just stay off our fucking land, okay?
- Roarke: Yes, ma'am. I'll stay off your fucking land. I promise. Thanks for the talk! You're the most interesting thing that's happened to me today.
- Beth Dutton: You should analyze that.
- John Dutton: So, that wolf, he's out there walking around by himself, calling out to his friends so they always know where he is.
- Tate Dutton: Cause he's scared?
- John Dutton: No. Wolves don't get scared. It's not in their genes. They get weary. They get smart.
- Tate Dutton: Like people.
- Governor Lynelle Perry: Hello, John.
- John Dutton: Lynelle.
- Governor Lynelle Perry: I, uh... I don't know where to start.
- John Dutton: I know where to start.
- Jamie Dutton: We had evidence that the Becks used aircraft to poison cattle along the Highway 89 Corridor south of Emigrant. Upon serving a warrant based on that information,we discovered additional evidence of a kidnapping...
- A.G. Stewart: We know all this, Jamie.
- Jamie Dutton: Livestock agents are bound by law to intervene in any active crime. That duty supersedes jurisdictional boundaries.
- Governor Lynelle Perry: You gonna fight this, John?
- John Dutton: Are we wrong?
- A.G. Stewart: You're not wrong. But it doesn't alter the lens. It doesn't change the way it looks and how it looks...
- Senator Balen: Is all that matters anymore, John.Six people died.
- Governor Lynelle Perry: The door is closed, John. Let's just be honest. When the blanket gets pulled back on this thing, and the nation knows that the family member that was kidnapped was yours... This stops looking like law enforcement mand starts looking like...
- A.G. Stewart: It looks like a feud. It looks like a gross misuse of power.
- Governor Lynelle Perry: We have been sitting here banging our heads against a wall, and we don't have a solution.
- John Dutton: I have a solution, Lynelle. You leave the blanket right where it is. I'll resign as Livestock Commissioner and accept full responsibility for my agents' overreach. And you, you stop looking. You let it go. You talk about militias and human smuggling and you take the credit. And you leave me and my family out of it.
- A.G. Stewart: That cleans things up on my end.
- Senator Balen: This is a state issue and that's where I want it to stay.
- Governor Lynelle Perry: And this keeps it a state issue?
- Senator Balen: It gives me what I need, yes.
- Governor Lynelle Perry: Great. Have you thought about your replacement?
- John Dutton: Give me till next week.
- Governor Lynelle Perry: Thank you, John. I won't forget this.
- John Dutton: I won't let you.
- Governor Lynelle Perry: I'm sure you won't.
- John Dutton: You know what dreams are? It's your memories and your imagination all mixed together in this soup of what's real and what's made up. But the thing about this soup is ... you can change the ingredients, Tate. You can put in whatever you want to. Any memory, any fantasy.
