Yellowstone (TV Series)

A Monster Is Among Us (2018)

Gil Birmingham: Thomas Rainwater

Quotes 

• Emily Sessions : The property's essentially worthless without a water source.

  Doug : Worthless?A 90-acre hobby farm sold for $6 million down the street.With a water source.The water table on our property is 25 feet. I could dig a fucking well by hand.

  Emily Sessions : I'd love to see that. Your client already accepted our offer.All you're supposed to do is red line the fine print.

  Doug : The fine print sucks. You get our land for free and then write off construction costs for years before we see a dime. Fucking Indian tribe's trying to steal your land.

  Emily Sessions : The only reason you're not choking on irony is the size of your mouth.

  Melody Prescott : Can I remind everyone that our goal here is to make a deal?

  Thomas Rainwater : We agreed to a percentage as payoff.I can't afford your asking price and build a casino.

  Dan Jenkins : I know how this works.You won't spend a dime on construction. You'll go to Key Bank or TFA Capital and take a loan for the build.You'll outsource management, except for cushy jobs you hold for friends and family members.You'll negotiate a nice, fat consulting fee for yourself.Then give speeches about how much money it'll make for the school system.Look, I oversaw the California Lottery.I wrote the book on this bullshit. And I'm fine with all of this.But my piece of the pie will be as big as yours. Period.

  Thomas Rainwater : I have no family to give cushy jobs to.And every penny of profit will go exactly where I say it goes.We want the same thing, Dan. Just for different reasons.

  Dan Jenkins : I look at this contract, and I can't tell what you want.

  Thomas Rainwater : I want everything that John Dutton has.I want the Yellowstone. Do this with me, and I'll split it with you.

  Dan Jenkins : There may be ten men on this planet that can afford the Yellowstone, and you and I ain't one of them.

  Thomas Rainwater : I have a plan for that, too.

  Dan Jenkins : Yeah?Well, what is it?

  Thomas Rainwater : I only tell my partners that plan.And you are not my partner yet.Call me when you are.
