Quotes 

• Malcolm Beck : Don't you want to have your lawyer present?

  John Dutton : This don't feel like a lawyer meeting.

  Teal Beck : I saw your son go against Peabody Coal before the Senate. He's one hell of a litigator.

  John Dutton : Yeah, he can argue with the best of them. So, what's this problem?

  Malcolm Beck : A casino in this valley will have a negative affect on our business. Your ranch and the others.

  Teal Beck : In five years, how many ranches like this can afford to exist?

  Malcolm Beck : Wanna hear our guess. Soon as that casino opens, they'll approach the Forest Service for land lease. And they'll build a ski resort.

  Teal Beck : And you know as well as anyone, ski resorts are daggers to the heart for places like this.

  Malcolm Beck : It'll be an ocean of second homes in ten years.

  John Dutton : I'm aware.

  Malcolm Beck : I'm sure you are. Look, my office has no authority over an Indian casino.

  Teal Beck : And yours has no authority over the land. And your new AG can't restrict them. That's why we need to fight this outside the lines, Mr. Dutton. And we just don't think they got the stomach for that.

  John Dutton : Yeah, well they have the stomach for it. I don't need partners, fellas.

  Teal Beck : Dan Jenkins has a partner. A big one.

  Malcolm Beck : Think of us as allies. We'd be the perfect allies for each other, John. Because there is no part of your business that benefits ours. And vice versa.

  Teal Beck : And when we fight, it's a zero-sum game. We will win. At any cost.

  John Dutton : Yeah.

  Malcolm Beck : John... we just want you to consider it.

  John Dutton : I consider every option, Malcolm. And I choose the one that's best for my family. If it helps you, it's a coincidence.

  Rip Wheeler : That's not the way you wear one of those.

  Jamie Dutton : Working with them is a deal with the devil, Dad.

  John Dutton : All the angels are gone, son. There's only devils left.

• Jamie Dutton : And I'll tell you what makes me nervous. This. Why a trust?

  Beth Dutton : You're an attorney, Jamie. I shouldn't have to explain it to you.

  Jamie Dutton : Okay. Why am I not in it?

  Beth Dutton : Do I really have to tell you that, too? Here's all the things I don't believe: I don't believe you're capable of swallowing your pride and contributing to this family. I don't believe our father will ever trust you again... which is why I don't believe you have a role here anymore.

  Jamie Dutton : Oh. You want to know what my role is? Well I think you're putting this all in a trust so you can control the money. So you can do this. And this. And this.

  Beth Dutton : The ranch is an investor, yes.

  Jamie Dutton : How big an investor? I manage the finances, Beth. I need to know... How big?

  Beth Dutton : Five million. I know, Jamie. You're worried about the risk. Two things: one... the risk is mitigated; two... if you didn't have balls the size of quail eggs, you would've invested this money years ago and he wouldn't be chasing his fucking tail every fall. Good work.

  Jamie Dutton : Hey, Beth. That is over half the ranch's cash. What do we gonna do in November if cattle prices go down? How much money do you think this ranch makes in a year? After payroll and property taxes and hay and countless other expenses? Nothing. This ranch has not turned a profit in six years. And maybe you don't understand the impact of a few hundred dead cattle, but that's half a million dollars rotting in the field. You fucked us. Fucked us. I want the ranch out and I want it out by today.

  Beth Dutton : It doesn't work like that, Jamie.

  Jamie Dutton : You make it work like that.

  Beth Dutton : Fuck, now I see. You think you're gonna get him to trust you by making him not trust me? I wish you and your bird balls the best of luck.

• Jamie Dutton : The first thing we want you to look into is this Paradise Valley Development Corporation.

  Jamie Dutton : They've sold property to the Broken Rock Tribe, which is attempting to annex it into their reservation. We'd like you to file an injunction against it...

  Cassidy Reid : Can we contest that?

  Jamie Dutton : I mean, they're clearly attempt to avoid state tax obligations and regulatory requirements. I'd say we have a good chance.

  Cassidy Reid : What about this Senate hearing regarding jurisdiction violation by the Livestock Association?

  Beth Dutton : Let me ask you a question, Attorney General-elect. Do you find Jamie's knowledge of the raid prior to it happening inculpatory in any way? I'm concerned about what happens if they ask him to testify.

  Cassidy Reid : Umm. I think attorney-client privileges recuse him of that. Even if he's aware of a crime before it happened. Are you saying a crime was intentionally committed?

  John Dutton : There was no crime. Not the time. Not the place.

  Cassidy Reid : The concern is... the negative press surrounding the hearing can cause a ripple effect... emboldening others to come forward with accusations that may hold legal merit. Our goal should be to avoid a hearing altogether.

  John Dutton : How do you plan to do that?

  Cassidy Reid : I'm working on it, Commissioner.
