Quotes 

• John Dutton : I know how you feel. I wished I didn't, but I do. I buried a son right over there.

  Monica Dutton : I remember.

  John Dutton : Blaming yourself, aren't you? Yeah, I did that too. Still do some days. I'll tell you something I've never told anybody. I had a brother for about 18 hours. His name was Peter. He was born early, and his little heart wasn't strong enough. Not much they could do back in those days. Not a lot they can do now. So, they just gave him back to my mother. The doctors hoped and we prayed and... neither worked. And it changed my mother, it hardened her. She never... she never tried to have children again. Years later, I was grown and Lee had just been born. Both my parents are looking at him, taking turns holding him. And my father got white as a ghost, looked at my mother and said, "Peter lived a perfect life. All he saw of this planet was you and all he knew was you loved him." That boy lived a perfect life, Monica. We're the only ones who know it was brief. All he knew was you and that you loved him.

  Monica Dutton : Thank you.

• Stanley Roberts : Um, there's been a precipitous drop in sage grouse numbers and there is empirical evidence that gas exploration and extraction have a negative impact on the sage grouse environment.

  John Dutton : And what effect do you think 7,000 acres of solar panels are going to have on their environment?

  Stanley Roberts : There's... no evidence that solar panels would have any impact on the sage grouse environment.

  John Dutton : What do they do with the sage brush when they put in the solar panels?

  Stanley Roberts : They, they... They would clear it before putting in the solar panels.

  John Dutton : They remove the sage brush.

  Stanley Roberts : Yes, sir.

  John Dutton : Sage grouse live in the sage brush.

  Stanley Roberts : They do.

  John Dutton : And you don't think removing the sage brush is going to have an effect on the population?

  Stanley Roberts : [laughs]  I just said there's no evidence...

  John Dutton : Know what scares me about you Stanley? You're serious. You're looking at me and you're not joking. I think tops on my agenda today is going to be budget discipline. You're all fired. I'm very mindful of our tax payers' money and you're all wasting it.

  [to Clara] 

  John Dutton : I'll advise myself on policy, Clara. How much money did we just save?

  Clara Brewer : I would say... Roughly 1.6 million dollars in salary and benefits if you're serious.

  John Dutton : Oh I'm pretty serious.

• John Dutton : You and I are going to have a long talk later.

  Beth Dutton : Yeah, well, I'm going to sleep later.

  John Dutton : We'll have a short one now then. Impulse control. Find some.

• Beth Dutton : I don't think they want us here.

  John Dutton : Even if they don't want us, they need to know we care enough to stay.

• Jamie Dutton : I'm in a police station in Bozeman, hoping to convince a young woman to drop the aggravated assault charges she plans to file against your daughter.

  John Dutton : Can I, uh, have a little more context, Jamie?

  Jamie Dutton : Yeah, she mouthed off to Beth in a bar and it went about how you'd expect.
