Neal McDonough: Malcolm Beck

Quotes 

• Malcolm Beck : Do you know the story of Susan Rawlings?

  Beth Dutton : Real estate attorney from Hamilton.

  Malcolm Beck : That's right. We had a mutually beneficial relationship until she figured out a way to bend the law to benefit her business more than my business. That's the problem with playing dirty, Beth. Because when someone plays dirty back, there's no one to cry to. There's no charges to file. There's nowhere to scream about the injustice you endured. Because if you do, all your filthy laundry just spills right out in the open for everyone to see. Susan finally realized that. We moved her somewhere in California where they could help her move past the trauma. It's uncanny how much you look like her.

  Beth Dutton : You know, I was a pretty bad teenager. Working through some trauma of my own. One might say I had a tendency to "act out." At church one Sunday, I was feeling a little naughty sitting next to this skinny little boy nobody liked. Out of pity, or boredom, I unzipped his slacks. I pulled out his penis and I gave him a hand job in the back pew. It's uncanny how much you look like that boy's dick.

  Malcolm Beck : All that tough talk, Beth. I've got the cure for that. We'll see how tough you are after I give it to you.

  Beth Dutton : Challenge accepted.

• Beth Dutton : I have a full day. If you'd like to make an appointment, I'll have my assistant schedule one.

  Malcolm Beck : This won't take long at all. You're buying up quite the... swath of land here in the valley.

  Beth Dutton : You're a long way from Billings, aren't you, Malcolm?

  Malcolm Beck : I don't consider any part of this state beyond my reach.

  Beth Dutton : Not sure the state would agree with you on that, buddy.

  Malcolm Beck : Hmm. Your father is... is not a reasonable man. I respect that. I'm not either. So I want to be clear about something. I will not have a casino built at the gates of Yellowstone.

  Beth Dutton : Oh, we don't want one either.

  Malcolm Beck : But you won't help me stop them.

  Beth Dutton : I'd go back to Billings, Malcolm. We'll take it from here.

  Malcolm Beck : Huh. You see, I just can't... I can't trust that you will stop them. Your family has the political resources to guarantee this build never happens. And yet you won't offer them.

  Beth Dutton : I think my father's reputation should warrant a little trust.

  Malcolm Beck : The only thing he cares about is his ranch. Now when that property tax quadruples, the only way he'll be able to protect it is find a new revenue stream.

  Beth Dutton : That's my job. I'm well aware of that.

  Malcolm Beck : I'm also aware that the likeliest source of electricity for the casino comes from damming your tributary. Now your father may not have thought about that, but I guarantee you have. And I am positive that pretty face has done the math figuring out how much money you will make turning the Dutton ranch into the Dutton Power Company.
