- Old Cowboy: You know what a tie is, don't you? It's the leash your master cut 'cause he knows you ain't going nowhere.
- Rip Wheeler: You ought to listen to this. They're building a casino with a 400-room hotel with a housing development around it. Right up against your fence.
- John Dutton: Rainwater and Jenkins are working together? When I'm gone, they will gobble this place up. Rainwater will annex that land into the reservation. I don't have a child who could fight for this. I'm running out of time, Rip, and they aren't ready. My children aren't ready to protect this place.
- Rip Wheeler: What do you want me to do?
- John Dutton: These problems have to go away before I do.
- Rip Wheeler: Well, how far away do you want them to go?
- John Dutton: When they go away they never come back. Ever.
- John Dutton: These problems have to go away before I do.
- Rip Wheeler: How far away do you want 'em to go?
- John Dutton: When they go away, they never come back, ever.
- Dan Jenkins: You guys are fucking idiots! You'll rot in prison for this the rest of your fucking lives.
- Rip Wheeler: No, no, no. It happens all the time. The lost souls, they come out here into the forest and they can't bear to live another day. So they decide to end it all. It's really toughest on the kids, you know? They never understand why.
- Dan Jenkins: Fuck you.
- Rip Wheeler: Don't you look at me, you piece of shit. You look at him. He has to understand what he's up against. That semi that ran into Mr. Dutton's truck, was that an accident?
- Dan Jenkins: It was a convenient opportunity.
- Rip Wheeler: Well, it ain't so fucking convenient now, is it? I want you to tell him about the land. Tell him how you'll get it. Go on.
- Dan Jenkins: We'll inflate the land prices. Run up the property tax. And price people out. You know how much the Yellowstone is worth? You think I'm gonna be the last person who's gonna wanna take it? Now your father, he has two choices. Either to sell it or to lose it. And that's the fucking truth.
- Rip Wheeler: Now you know, Kayce. Jimmy, go on and cut him down.
- Dan Jenkins: Fuck you guys! Fuck you! Fucking idiots.
- Kayce Dutton: Yah! Let him hang.
- Beth Dutton: You should buy a smaller table, Dad.
- John Dutton: I remember a time when every seat at this table was filled.
- Beth Dutton: No, you don't, Dad. That's not a memory. That's a dream.
- John Dutton: It doesn't matter how many people sit at the table, honey. What matters is they have a place to sit. The table's the only thing that matters. I need you to understand that.
- Kayce Dutton: I'm not doing this for a table. I'm doing this for you. And when you're gone, I'll sell the table first.
- John Dutton: Well, I'm not going anywhere.
- Kayce Dutton: I sure hope not.
- Sheriff Donnie Haskell: Let's go. Pack of wild dogs, your crew.
- John Dutton: What happened?
- Sheriff Donnie Haskell: Drifter pulled a knife on him. Your boy took it too far. He took it way too far. But I ain't pressing charges against a veteran. And I don't mind the message this sends to drifters. This don't change things with your wrangler.
- John Dutton: Dan Jenkins is not the future of this valley, Donnie, and you know it.
- Sheriff Donnie Haskell: I wish I could snap my fingers, John, and make all these pirates go away, but we can't.
- John Dutton: Yes, we can. You just don't have the stomach for it and that's a shame. 'Cause I remember a time when you did.
- Sheriff Donnie Haskell: Stomach ain't got nothing to do with it.
- John Dutton: Look at me. What the hell are you up to?
- Sheriff Donnie Haskell: I ain't up to shit. Now that shell casing may get him off the hook with Fish and Wildlife, but I just pulled two dead bodies out of that canyon and I ain't taking your muscle's word about what happened.
- John Dutton: Heard you got a membership at the sporting club. How much that cost you on a sheriff's salary?
- Sheriff Donnie Haskell: Yeah, well, it ain't cheap, John.
- John Dutton: I'm starting a list, Donnie. You just made your way on it... .The whole county's turning on me, Rip. The whole fucking place.
