- Beth Dutton: Have you given any thought at all to the ranchers who live here, and what'll happen to them?
- Roarke Morris: Happen to them? They won't have to be ranchers anymore 'cause they're all so f***in' rich.
- Beth Dutton: Good answer.
- John Dutton: Hey, if you uh, you hire another girl, she needs to be mean or ugly, one of the two. Last thing I need is a love-struck cowboy climbin' into the wrong bunk. You know what I mean?
- Rip Wheeler: Mean or ugly. Yes sir.
- Beth Dutton: The Sporting Club.
- Roarke Morris: Yeah?
- Beth Dutton: Good place for an airport.
- Roarke Morris: It is.
- Beth Dutton: What kind of airport? Is it the kind of airport for you and your buddies' Gulfstreams?
- Roarke Morris: Thinking a little bigger than that.
- Beth Dutton: How much bigger?
- Roarke Morris: Two terminals. Fifty-two gates.
- Beth Dutton: Why here?
- Roarke Morris: Wind. For one. There isn't much. Could build northeast of Livingston, but... too much wind. And let's be honest, people don't want to fly, then drive another hour to ski. It's why Big Sky never took off. It's the largest mountain in America. The best snow in this hemisphere and the slopes are empty because of the drive. People are just that goddamn lazy.
- Beth Dutton: Did you secure a forest service lease?
- Roarke Morris: I didn't secure anything. I manage a fund that invests their capital. I sit on the board so I know what's happening, but I don't control what's happening.
- Beth Dutton: Hm.
- Roarke Morris: You, on the other hand... Militias and casino owners killing their competition.It's fucking fascinating. The Old West. Still wild. Not anymore. Not when we get here. All that shit stops.
- Beth Dutton: Think so, do you?
- Roarke Morris: Pretend your family doesn't live here. Pretend you don't know anything about this place. What would your end game be?
- Beth Dutton: I'd turn it into Park City.
- Roarke Morris: Now you're talking. Dan Jenkins was a smart guy. But his dreams just weren't big enough. Why dream about building golf courses when you can build cities?And you, your family's the largest landowner in the valley, you've made Schwartz and Meyer the second largest. Don't play babe in the woods with me. You've been head-hunting since Salt Lake.
- Beth Dutton: I feel ridiculous asking this, but I'm just so curious about how your pickled mind works: have you given any thought at all to the ranchers who live here? And what'll happen to them?
- Roarke Morris: What'll happen to them? They won't have to be ranchers anymore because they're all so fucking rich.
- Beth Dutton: Good answer.
- Roarke Morris: My dad told me once: there will come a day when the only noble job left is fishing because no one's figured out a way to own the ocean.
- Beth Dutton: Yet.
- Roarke Morris: That's right. I'm working on it.
- Bob Schwartz: Shouldn't surprise you they bought it. Wish we'd bought it.
- Beth Dutton: It doesn't surprise me they bought it. Surprises me they knew about it. I mean, if a company this big wants to develop in this valley, we are the first call, right? But we weren't. And now I have New York attorneys swaggering through our fucking fields.
- Bob Schwartz: Who is Market Equities main competition?
- Beth Dutton: MGM. Marriott.
- Bob Schwartz: What does Marriott own that they don't?
- Beth Dutton: Ski resort? But we're an hour and a half from an airport, Bob. It's too remote for... Okay, they're not taking over a resort. They're building an airport.But there's no reason to build an airport because there is no ski resort. Who do you know at the Department of the Interior?
- Bob Schwartz: I know the Secretary of the Interior.
- Beth Dutton: Call him. Find out if they gave them a lease. They are building an airport and a ski resort... And then they're gonna build a city around it.
- Bob Schwartz: Buy everything you can around them, Beth. Everything.
- Beth Dutton: How the fuck did they know about this place? Huh? I mean, does Chase manage their funds?
- Bob Schwartz: Goldman, I think.
- Beth Dutton: All right.Who's the big, swinging dick in hedge funds over there?
- Bob Schwartz: Who runs the hot hedge funds at Goldman?
- Woman: There's Micah Greenberg's fund, and Roarke Morris.His fund's on fire.
- Beth Dutton: All right, who's heavy in real estate?
- Woman: Roarke. He bridges lines of credit on resort properties then sells them to his fund.
- Beth Dutton: Fucking shell game. All right, what's his first name?
- Woman: Roarke.
- Beth Dutton: That's his first name? Not a fucking first name.You've got to be fucking kidding me.
- Bob Schwartz: You know him?
- Beth Dutton: Um, it's like Lucille Ball and Fabio had a kid and I have to go make a fucking deal with him. Goddamn it. Uh, Susan, would you, uh... Get me the address for Cross Creek Ranch, please.
- Helen: Sweet Grass County attorney on line one. Put him through?
- Jamie Dutton: Sure.
- Helen: I'll put you right through.
- [PHONE RINGS]
- Jamie Dutton: All right... Hey, Randy.
- County Attorney Randy: You hear about these barrel racers got their rigs stolen?
- Jamie Dutton: No.
- County Attorney Randy: These two girls loaded up their horses, were making one last check in the stalls, and got jumped by a couple of guys.Worked 'em pretty good, locked 'em in a horse stall, drove off in their rigs.Took their trucks, trailers, horses, saddles, everything.
- Jamie Dutton: Jesus.
- County Attorney Randy: Since horses were stolen, sort of falls into your court, too. I'm short-handed on deputies. Can you spare an agent?
- Jamie Dutton: Yeah, I'll send you one.
- County Attorney Randy: You can make a lot of friends if we handle this the right way.
- Jamie Dutton: Umm... What's the right way?
- County Attorney Randy: The right way sends a message. You know what I mean?
- Jamie Dutton: I know what you mean. Helen, could you have Agent Hendon come by the office, please?
- Beth Dutton: What is this?
- Rip Wheeler: A little job fair.
- Beth Dutton: Hiring cowgirls now?
- Rip Wheeler: We're equal opportunity here at Yellowstone.Plus, women work twice as hard and eat half as much.
- Beth Dutton: Wow. You're a real renaissance man, you know that?
- Rip Wheeler: Don't tell anybody, now.
- Teeter: Head's up! You tying cow lover? No? Go get my rope! Country muh-fuck!
- Lloyd Pierce: That Spanish?
- Rip Wheeler: I don't know.I'll tell you one thing, though: she's a hand.
- Teeter: You hear me, fuck! fuck you bad later.
- Lloyd Pierce: Ride the hair off a horse, that's for damn sure. But we need someone who can speak English.
- Rip Wheeler: Hey! Yo! Where'd you learn to cowboy?
- Teeter: I been fuck' pullin' and draggin' since I could bounce piss off a rock.
- Rip Wheeler: That's ain't Spanish. That's Texan.
- Lloyd Pierce: That's ain't Texan. That's gibberish.
- Rip Wheeler: No, I'm telling you, it's Texan. I can smell 'em a mile away. What's your name?
- Teeter: Teeter.
- [Pronounced TAY-TER]
- Rip Wheeler: What's that?
- Teeter: Tee-ter.
- Rip Wheeler: Did you hear that?
- Lloyd Pierce: I think she's saying "Peter". Your name Peter?
- Teeter: Do I look like my fucking name is Peter, you skunk-hard motherfucker?
- Lloyd Pierce: She just called me a motherfucker.
- Teeter: You understood, that, didn't you, you bow-legged bastard. Hey, you look like you all got bent over on one of them nurse things, fucked up the ass 'til your knees buckled.
- Lloyd Pierce: This is the kind of girl that got drove to high school wearing a damn hockey helmet.She's gonna go through the bunkhouse like wildfire.
- Rip Wheeler: She's perfect. Trust me. Hire her.
- Beth Dutton: Is there anything you ever wanted to do, but you didn't do because everybody would watch you or question you and now doing it is in spite of them and it's about something else and the moment you imagined is not the moment that you were living?
