Well, the whole world's a test, son. Don't let them ever trick you into thinkin' different.

John

Rip: You ask them questions, Kayce, and the questions will never stop. You tell me what you need, and I'll take care of it. They won't question me.
Kayce: Well, you said they need to respect me.
Rip: You let me handle the wranglers, and you'll have both. That's my job.
Kayce: Alright. Get them up to pasture nine. You choose the way.
Rip: I don't choose the way. I make sure no one questions yours.

The old ways of gambling with our future are over. Working together with new partnerships marks a new era for our nation and all of Montana.

There's no secret agenda, Jamie. I want tribal issues to get the attention they deserve from your office, and 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?

Rainwater

John: 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: I don't want your office.
John: Well, you can't have it for about 15 years. It will take you that long to earn everyone's trust. You understand, Kayce, this office is how you protect the ranch and every ranch like it.

John: Kayce, what makes you think you wouldn't pass a psych evaluation?
Kayce: My whole life.

John: It's your replacement I'll choose next.
Lynelle: And so the pack turns on itself. I guess that was inevitable.

John: You got in the middle of the family.
Lynelle: 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 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.

Lynelle: You're supposed to sip it, John.
John: I'm not drinking it for the taste.

Lynelle: Do you think you'll ever fall in love again?
John: No.
Lynelle: Me neither. [pause] That's supposed to be the only thing you live for.
John: Then you have children, and the livin' for yourself part is all over. [sighs] We're not screwin' are we?
Lynelle: [laughs] No. You alright with that?
John: Hell, I'm 63 years old. It takes everything a while to wake up and a while to go away. I just need to know the direction. I'm too old for surprises, sweetheart.

Who the fuck is Dan Jenkins?

Malcolm

Lloyd: Jimmy, you ain't got sense enough to pour warm piss outta your boot.
Jimmy: Look, I know it's an insult, but I just don't know how.
