Quotes 

• Governor Perry : Jamie, sorry to keep you waiting. Will you pull that up, please? Need to show you something.You're no longer running unopposed.

  Cassidy Reid : [audio from streaming political campaign video]  No matter how hard you work, I'll work harder.This campaign is just the beginning.

  Jamie Dutton : That's my announcement speech.

  Governor Perry : Yeah. Your father's smart, I'll say that. You're getting the crash course in politics today. Always remember this, Jamie. Running for office and holding the office are two very different things. Holding the office requires honor, integrity, tempering every act with wisdom. Running for office requires none of those things. It's a zero sum game and winning is the only thing that matters.

• Thomas Rainwater : Hello, Attorney General Dutton.

  Jamie Dutton : You gotta be kidding me.

  Governor Perry : Welcome to really running for office.

  Thomas Rainwater : Walk out that door... and you lose, most certainly.Stay... and you win, convincingly.

  Governor Perry : As an Independent, you have no party to fund your campaign. Cassidy Reed is a good choice. She just stole your platform. With this, you get funding and a new platform, one she can't steal.

  Jamie Dutton : I am sitting, not agreeing.

  Thomas Rainwater : There's no secret agenda, Jamie. I want tribal issues to get the attention they deserve from your office. I want the same of her. That's not deceptive, Jamie. That's being a good politician. Isn't that what you want to be?

  Jamie Dutton : Um... I'm gonna need some time to think.Give me the day?

• Jamie Dutton : I need you to forget about how we feel about each other and remember one thing.We're family.

  Beth Dutton : I love how people think that word entitles them to absolution from the people whose lives they ruin.We owe you nothing.

• Jamie Dutton : It's not just about the money.I don't want to play this dirty.

  Christina : Jamie, you've been playing this dirty your entire career.

  Jamie Dutton : No, no.I have reacted to the situations before me.I didn't initiate them and I certainly didn't do any of it for me.To beat her, I have to attack him because there is nothing about her to attack.
