When Kayce and Rip fight,
I think it's the best sort of boxing match in the world.
It's a little bit like your dad arguing with your uncle.
You know they're going to kill each other, so maybe it's fun.
That's not what it's like when my dad and my uncle fight.
That was two different. That's not so fun.
Those guys are amazing actors and performers.
To do that took days.
To jump back into that day was nuts.
Just take after take in the dust.
There's no real faking that. There's amazing stunt performers
that were involved obviously in capturing that scene,
but those actors were throwing each other.
They were there. Yeah.
Just up and down.
I was tired from standing.
Yeah. I know.
We were just pulling up on our horses ever time.
Yeah. I was like "I'm exhausted.
I don't know how many more times I could pull up off this horse."
They just get the snot knocked out of each other.
Want us to get in there?
No. This needs to happen.
Seeing what Rip is willing to do for the family.
Kayce needs to learn how to run this place.
What it takes to give up your ego and your pride.
Needs to learn how to lead these men.
To get beaten in such a way.
You understand what I'm asking?
For the greater good.
Go Kayce. Take it. Come on.
To sacrifice. It's so noble and brutal and awful.
Well, you made him earn it. Thank you.
And they both win, they both get what they want.
It's brilliantly conceived.
Now I need you two to get along.
He needs to be able to depend on you, Rip.
I think it's such a fascinating kind of dichotomy of two
human beings coming together with their different ideological
standpoints the way that they see their family,
the way that they see John Dutton.
One is his father, the other one sees him as his father.
Well, I hope you can depend on him
because I haven't seen a shred of proof that you can.
I guess you see something I don't.
He's my son. That's what I see.
It's a pretty intense kind of circumstance really.
It's also they've been sniping at each other for a season
and a half at that point, so it's also like
"All right guys. Get it out."
Yeah. Yeah.
I think there's part of that energy too.
If this means that we can move forward
instead of continually fucking taking shots at each other.
Yeah. Instead of keep the same cycle.
Yeah. Yeah.
Then I think that's worth it.
Hey. What the fuck you doing standing there?
Start wrapping wire.
Hell, I'm leaving tonight.
Rip hates Walker because Walker is the antithesis of Rip.
Walker won't commit himself to something
he doesn't necessarily believe in,
and Rip is so fully committed to it.
It's Rip's way of life.
I think Walker exists as a reminder to Rip,
as a constant thorn in Rip's side.
This nagging attack on the values
that Rip has risked his life for and given his life to,
which are the values of this ranch.
Spend my week's wages at the bar for all I give a shit.
Walker doesn't care about anything.
Don't I know it.
Rip cares to the enth degree
and then Walker gets rewarded with the affection from Beth.
Well, I recon I got a fondness for the farmer's daughter.
Guess we got that in common, don't we?
I can imagine that just blows up Rips head.
The focus of all his rage has got to be on this guy
who really hasn't done anything.
He just does his work and Rip needs an outlet,
he needs an enemy, he needs something to fight at all times.
It's hard to fight a guy who doesn't want to.
It is. It is what it is, bro.
If you feel like we got to fight this thing out
to make whatever you feel better, then we'll do that.
There's no power in that.
You instantaneously disarming the other person
because that other person wants you to be where they are.
It's so infuriating.
It's so infuriating to be pissed off
at someone who doesn't give a fuck.
Yeah. You just can't do it.
Like you said, them being rewarded
with Beth's affection and attention is just even more
because it's like now he's having to deal
with trying to fight Kayce and dealing with that,
then having to figure out what John's situation is,
but then also trying to keep control of us.
We got two miles of fence to build.
Go to work.
Now he has this other guy, and the only person that Rip
can ever actually be affectionate with is Beth,
now that same affection is going to the very person
that reminds him that there's another way to live,
it just makes him so complex in and of itself.
I would imagine that's why he has such a hatred towards him.
So just to clarify, Colby's mom, that's a cougar?
That'll be the last time you ever refer
to my mom as a cougar.
She prefers wildcat? Meow. Meow.
That's one of those funny moments where art imitates life
because Denim's mom is really hot.
Yeah. That scene where Jimmy calls Denim's
mom a cougar is honestly,
I'm glad that made it into the cut
because I didn't even know they were rolling.
Denim's mom is a cougar.
You seemed like you were speaking from the heart.
That's what was hurtful because you didn't run it
past me just emotionally before we had gotten there.
You had made comments off and on,
but I just never thought it would make it out
to the real world. That was definitely interesting.
I think the bunkhouse is the one place where we can be us.
These guys can be themselves
without the fear of this external pressure,
where they can actually fuck around
and they can actually just be friends.
Yeah. It's a safe zone.
What the?
Bitches!
How did she cheat? She doesn't even have sleeves.
Gimme a beer.
It's that bunk house, it's the fort.
It's like the tree house.
Nothing really bad is going to happen if we're in here.
Yeah. Unless you're talking about somebody else's mom.
Yes.
As soon as Rip moves into that space,
all of the sudden the rules in there change.
This is like a parent coming into your bedroom and saying
"Hey, when you're having your sleepover with your friends,
I'm going to also be in here too."
Yeah. I know, but.
I guess as it goes on longer, we'll probably just ignore him
I'd imagine.
I would think that, but at the same time,
maybe not because you have to be able to demand
that same type of control when we're outside of that,
when we're on the job, on the ranch.
The same jokes that we're making,
we can't make when we're in the field.
He doesn't look at anyone in the eye in the bunkhouse.
Ever. I assume he feels knocked down a peg.
As soon as we walk outside, he's up in your grill.
Yeah. And terrifying again.
What are you dipshits doing?
It's a Saturday.
I know what fucking day it is, Jimmy.
Maybe we have power over him in the bunkhouse.
I don't know. We'll play with that next season.
One rule on this ranch, cowboy.
You want to fight somebody, you fight me.
I guess you forgot that rule, Ryan.
Sit down.
I think that started when he fought
Luke Peckinpah's character, which was called-
Fred.
Fred, right?
He kicked Fred's ass, and the line is
You want to fight somebody, you come fight me.
I'll fight you all goddamn day.
"You want to fight, I'll fight you all goddamn day."
Then the joke around set would be
if somebody said something and Cole was nearby,
somebody hugs somebody or whatever,
and Cole would turn around "Hey, do you want a hug?
I'll hug you all goddamn day."
You want a hug? You hug me!
You hug me.
I'll hug you all goddamn day. So whatever it was,
That's a lot of hugs.
That's a pretty aggressive hug actually.
You guys going to the spa?
You go to the spa, you take me to the spa.
I'll spa with you all day.
You're right. You're right. We should give you spa days.
I'll wear the clay mask all goddamn day.
You deserve the spa day. You're right.
All goddamn day.
