- Governor Perry: Gewürztraminer, a variety originating in Tramin, a German-speaking village, in northern Italy.
- John Dutton: My father fought those bastards. Now we're drinking their wine.
- NCIC Call Agent: NCIC
- Livestock Agent Steve Hendon: Yeah, this is Agent Handon, Montana Livestock Association.
- NCIC Call Agent: Authorization number?
- Livestock Agent Steve Hendon: Mike, Tango, Lima, Alpha, 139259.
- NCIC Call Agent: Name?
- Livestock Agent Steve Hendon: Dutton, Kayce John, Date of Birth 4/24/90, Driver's License Number... MT 83745820382.
- NCIC Call Agent: Dutton, Kayce John, no priors, no outstanding.
- Livestock Agent Steve Hendon: Thank you.
- Malcolm Beck: That is impressive! You're making quite the splash in Montana, aren't you?
- Teal Beck: Now that's smart, making the casino separate from the hotel, right? And what are these? Are these houses?
- Dan Jenkins: Yeah.
- Malcolm Beck: A planned second home community with it's own hotel and casino. Now that is smart. Utterly classless. But smart.
- Malcolm Beck: You must be the guy.
- Dan Jenkins: What guy would that be?
- Malcolm Beck: The guy that fucked with John Dutton.
- Malcolm Beck: I understand learning not to do that was a... painful lesson.
- Dan Jenkins: So you're friends with John Dutton, huh?
- Malcolm Beck: We know of him.
- Teal Beck: Oh, we've never met him.
- Malcolm Beck: You see, thriving in Montana is all about staying in your lane. We don't go in his and he's never been in ours, but you have.
- Dan Jenkins: Now how did I do that?
- Malcolm Beck: Partnering with an Indian tribe opening an off-reservation casino.
- Teal Beck: Oh, but it won't be off-reservation for long. Because annexing this land into the rez is the first thing that he's going to do.
- Malcolm Beck: I assume he purchased the land instead of leasing. And I assume he's paying you the profits? Oh, well... Any money you've received was an advance on construction, which he will want back as soon as he nullifies your agreement.
- Teal Beck: Just a guess, but... That's what we'd do. If we were trying to steal from you.
- Dan Jenkins: Rocky Mountain Gas and Casino. That's owned by the Beck Brothers. I'm assuming that that's you. I'm just guessing that you don't like competition. Well, let me tell you something, you red-necked fucks! I'm so tired of you bullies with your bolo ties and Lucchese boots. If you got a problem, file. Take me to court. I'll take the Pepsi challenge with your backwoods lawyer any day of the fuckin' week.
- Teal Beck: You know, in addition to running Rocky Mountain, my brother's also the head of the Montana Liquor Board. Now do you recall applying for your liquor license through us, right?
- Malcolm Beck: I will be revoking that tomorrow. And, of course, I will never issue one for this new venture.
- Teal Beck: And that is just the beginning of how we're gonna fuck with you.
- Malcolm Beck: I suggest you find a way to extricate yourself from this deal.
- Teal Beck: And make a new deal with us. Hell, we'd love to build a casino here.
- Malcolm Beck: Well, you got lots to think about.
- Teal Beck: Think fast.
- Dan Jenkins: Fuckers. This town, fuckin' place. You wanna play dirty, let's play fucking dirty!
- Kayce Dutton: You want 'em in pasture 12?
- John Dutton: Well, that's what I was thinking.What do you want?
- Kayce Dutton: Well, there's no hot wire around that river.We could leave them there a month or so, but then they might cross.And God knows where they'll go.In pasture nine, there's a creek and a fence all the way around it.We could leave 'em there until November.
- John Dutton: Well, nine it is.
- Kayce Dutton: You never wanted 'em in 12, did you?
- Kayce Dutton: Well, all the world's a test, son. Don't ever let it trick you into thinking different.
- Thomas Rainwater: The old ways of gambling with our future are over. Working together with new partnerships marks a new era for our nation and for all of Montana.
- 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?
- Livestock Agent Steve Hendon: I need a fingerprint scan?
- Ryan: I got it.Place your fingers flat on that device.
- Livestock Agent Steve Hendon: Let's see your driver's license, please.
- John Dutton: To be an agent, you gotta go to the police academy first. We can drag that out for a bit.But you can't hold my office without the badge.
- Kayce Dutton: I don't want your office.
- John Dutton: You can't have it for about 15 years.And it'll take you that long to earn everyone's trust. Understand, Kayce, this office is how you protect the ranch and every ranch like it.
- Kayce Dutton: Can I talk to you alone for a second?
- John Dutton: Give us a minute.
- Kayce Dutton: I don't know about this, Dad. There's just so many things that can go wrong.
- John Dutton: Kayce, whoa, whoa. You just let me... you just let me worry about that.
- Kayce Dutton: I can't pass a polygraph test.
- John Dutton: Well, you won't have to.
- Kayce Dutton: Well, what about a psych eval?
- John Dutton: Well, you won't have to take one of those either.
- Kayce Dutton: Gotta go.
- John Dutton: Kayce? What makes you think you wouldn't pass a psyche evaluation?
- Kayce Dutton: My whole life.
- Bar Patron: Your wine flight.
- John Dutton: I think these are for you.
- Governor Perry: I'm gonna need all of them?
- John Dutton: Probably.
- Governor Perry: Well-played, John.
- John Dutton: Oh, we've just started playing. I told you to find another Attorney General. Now I found one for you.
- Governor Perry: Yes. You put me in a position where now I have no choice but to fight you. The Attorney General's supposed to do my bidding, John, not yours. Jamie was... he was just such a convenient way to serve both our needs.
- John Dutton: Anyone blows him by now. The only thing that matters to him is approval. Once he's elected, we can't give him that anymore. Popularity controls him, and then you know the consequences of that.
- Governor Perry: I'm gonna get him to step down.
- John Dutton: And how are you gonna do that?
- John Dutton: How I do it is not important. What matters is you don't fight me on this. But your opponent, I choose next.
- Governor Perry: And so the pack turns on itself. Guess that was inevitable.
- John Dutton: You got in the middle of family.
- Governor Perry: Don't you dare wave that flag at me. We don't have families. We have employees we're related to. Can you name the last time that you had a conversation with one of your children about how their day went or how they feel or... what they dream of?Yeah.I can't either.You're supposed to sip it, John.
- John Dutton: Not drinking it for the taste.Their mother died in front of them, Lynelle.That's how every day goes for 'em. Don't have to ask my kids how it went.You don't have to ask yours either... do you?
- Governor Perry: No.Well, this isn't the way I thought life was gonna turn out. I gotta tell you, John.
- John Dutton: Well, it's worked out pretty much how I figured it would, except for the... losing her part.Never saw that coming.
- Mark: [Malcolm and Teal are on a Conference Call] The issue is Chevron already secured the land.
- Teal Beck: Well, have they broken ground yet, Mark?
- Mark: My understanding is there's an agreement to terms.
- Malcolm Beck: Do they hold the deed?
- Mark: Ah, it's unclear.
- Malcolm Beck: Well, these are things you need to know before you call, Mark. I can't stop them without information and, so far, you aren't giving me any.
- Teal Beck: We'll have to call you back, Mark.
- Mark: No worries.
- [line clicks]
- Malcolm Beck: What ?
- Teal Beck: A casino ?
- Malcolm Beck: A 400 room hotel minutes from the National Park. Who the fuck is Dan Jenkins ?
- Beth Dutton: Politicians believe that they can manage peoples' lives better than they can.The best politicians are narcissists.The very best should probably be committed.You aren't that.Let's be honest, you don't know who the fuck you are.And you're looking for the world to tell you.You reek of desperation and they can smell it. They will pull you, they will twist you.And they will tear you into tiny pieces.And our father with you.
- 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.
- Governor Perry: 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.
- John Dutton: Well, all the world's a test, son. Don't ever let it trick you into thinking different.
- Dan Jenkins: Take me to court. I'll take the pepsi challenge with your backwoods lawyer any day of the fucking week.
