John Dutton
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
