00:00I re-watched 5A in the few days leading up to this.
00:03Something that struck me was at the end of the season,
00:06Beth makes a comment where she's like,
00:08the business model is what's gonna kill us.
00:10Like, she tells John that.
00:11And early in the season, Rip also says,
00:13he says that John's gonna lose the ranch.
00:17I was wondering what you guys could tell me
00:19about why they think that
00:22and how it's gonna impact their actions
00:24going into what we're about to see.
00:26Because obviously there's the outside struggles,
00:29but then there's also the big business.
00:32Yeah, how to make money.
00:35The ranch cannot survive the way it survived 150 years ago.
00:39And unfortunately, the model that John Dutton wants
00:42is of this romantic time,
00:43and he wants to preserve a time that doesn't exist anymore.
00:46Beth has a line to him,
00:48your way of life,
00:49they don't care about your way of life anymore, Daddy.
00:51Like, it's heartbreaking to have to say to him,
00:55but she has to find a way to monetize it,
00:57to make it work in modern times.
01:01And she's trying to do it and he won't have it.
01:04So it's very, you can feel the desperation
01:07of needing this ranch to survive.
01:09It is a dying time for them all,
01:12and something's gotta give.
01:15Yeah, and I think too,
01:17when everybody's there and there's a big party,
01:19and I'm actually saying that line,
01:22I think for Rip, it's just that it's changing.
01:26The idea that these people will be invited into this world,
01:29which is so special and kind of sacred at that time,
01:33is that he's starting to lose grasp of what it was.
01:36Yeah.
01:37That it becomes a spectacle.
01:38Right.
01:39It's losing its authentic soul.
01:41And that's why I'm up on the hill and she comes up,
01:43and there's that moment between us,
01:45and I say that line because of that.
01:47And it's the beginning in his mind
01:50to the end of Yellowstone.
