The Best Malcolm Beck Quotes

Malcolm: We, however, can offer you something of real value.
Thomas: I'm breathless with anticipation.
Teal: Slots.
Malcolm: Only available through our leasing company.
Thomas: Extorting a public official in his office. With three witnesses... How convenient for me.
Teal: Well, we are not obligated to lease out equipment to anyone, Chairman, we're simply offering you our expertise.

Malcolm: Don't you want to have your lawyer present?
John: This don't feel like a lawyer meeting.
Teal: I saw your son go against Peabody Coal before the Senate. He's one hell of a litigator.
John: Yeah, he can argue with the best of them. So, what's this problem?
Malcolm: A casino in this valley will have a negative affect on our business. Your ranch and the others.
Teal: In five years, how many ranches like this can afford to exist?
Malcolm: Wanna hear our guess. Soon as that casino opens, they'll approach the Forest Service for land lease. And they'll build a ski resort.
Teal: And you know as well as anyone, ski resorts are daggers to the heart for places like this.
Malcolm: It'll be an ocean of second homes in ten years.
John: I'm aware.
Malcolm: I'm sure you are. Look, my office has no authority over an Indian casino.
Teal: And yours has no authority over the land. And your new AG can't restrict them. That's why we need to fight this outside the lines, Mr. Dutton. And we just don't think they got the stomach for that.
John: Yeah, well they have the stomach for it. I don't need partners, fellas.
Teal: Dan Jenkins has a partner. A big one.
Malcolm: Think of us as allies. We'd be the perfect allies for each other, John. Because there is no part of your business that benefits ours. And vice versa.
Teal: And when we fight, it's a zero-sum game. We will win. At any cost.
John: Yeah.
Malcolm: John... we just want you to consider it.
John: I consider every option, Malcolm. And I choose the one that's best for my family. If it helps you, it's a coincidence.
Rip: That's not the way you wear one of those.
Jamie: Working with them is a deal with the devil, Dad.
John: All the angels are gone, son. There's only devils left.

News: In an historic ground-breaking ceremony, Tribal Chairman Thomas Rainwater annexed the land purchased for the Confederated Tribes of Broken Rock's ambitious hotel & casino project into the reservation. There are now questions about what, if any, authority the state will have over regulating the casino or monitoring the construction of what will be the largest hotel in the state.
Malcolm: Who's the contractor on this build?
Teal: I'll find out.
Malcolm: I thought we were pretty fucking clear with Mr. Jenkins.
Teal: Well evidently not.
Malcolm: We need to find a less subtle means of expressing our displeasure.
Teal: Can we bait that trap? I think it's time we spring it.

Malcolm: Do you know the story of Susan Rawlings?
Beth: Real estate attorney from Hamilton.
Malcolm: 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: 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: 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: Challenge accepted.

News: According to the livestock commissioner, sheriff's deputies refused a request to support the livestock agents as they investigated false claims of cattle depredation at convicted felon Jerry Hayes's ranch, just east of Three Forks. Whatever administrative lapses occurred, the result is one man in custody and his teenage boy, dead.
Malcolm: I know how we can help John Dutton.

Beth: I have a full day. If you'd like to make an appointment, I'll have my assistant schedule one.
Malcolm: This won't take long at all. You're buying up quite the... swath of land here in the valley.
Beth: You're a long way from Billings, aren't you, Malcolm?
Malcolm: I don't consider any part of this state beyond my reach.
Beth: Not sure the state would agree with you on that, buddy.
Malcolm: 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: Oh, we don't want one either.
Malcolm: But you won't help me stop them.
Beth: I'd go back to Billings, Malcolm. We'll take it from here.
Malcolm: 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: I think my father's reputation should warrant a little trust.
Malcolm: 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: That's my job. I'm well aware of that.
Malcolm: 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.

Malcolm: That is impressive! You're making quite the splash in Montana, aren't you?
Teal: Now that's smart, making the casino separate from the hotel, right? And what are these? Are these houses?
Dan: Yeah.
Malcolm: A planned second home community with it's own hotel and casino. Now that is smart. Utterly classless. But smart.
Malcolm: You must be the guy.
Dan: What guy would that be?
Malcolm: The guy that fucked with John Dutton.
Malcolm: I understand learning not to do that was a... painful lesson.
Dan: So you're friends with John Dutton, huh?
Malcolm: We know of him.
Teal: Oh, we've never met him.
Malcolm: You see, thriving in Montana is all about staying in your lane. We don't go in his and he's never been in ours, but you have.
Dan: Now how did I do that?
Malcolm: Partnering with an Indian tribe opening an off-reservation casino.
Teal: Oh, but it won't be off-reservation for long. Because annexing this land into the rez is the first thing that he's going to do.
Malcolm: I assume he purchased the land instead of leasing. And I assume he's paying you the profits? Oh, well... Any money you've received was an advance on construction, which he will want back as soon as he nullifies your agreement.
Teal: Just a guess, but... That's what we'd do. If we were trying to steal from you.
Dan: Rocky Mountain Gas and Casino. That's owned by the Beck Brothers. I'm assuming that that's you. I'm just guessing that you don't like competition. Well, let me tell you something, you red-necked fucks! I'm so tired of you bullies with your bolo ties and Lucchese boots. If you got a problem, file. Take me to court. I'll take the Pepsi challenge with your backwoods lawyer any day of the fuckin' week.
Teal: You know, in addition to running Rocky Mountain, my brother's also the head of the Montana Liquor Board. Now do you recall applying for your liquor license through us, right?
Malcolm: I will be revoking that tomorrow. And, of course, I will never issue one for this new venture.
Teal: And that is just the beginning of how we're gonna fuck with you.
Malcolm: I suggest you find a way to extricate yourself from this deal.
Teal: And make a new deal with us. Hell, we'd love to build a casino here.
Malcolm: Well, you got lots to think about.
Teal: Think fast.
Dan: Fuckers. This town, fuckin' place. You wanna play dirty, let's play fucking dirty!

Rip: Can I help you?
Malcolm: Looking for John dutton.
- Yeah, who's looking for John dutton?
- We don't know you.
- What the fuck is this guy up to?
- Hey, step back.
