Dylan Massett[about Norman and Emma] Do you think that she has to take that thing out of her nose when they make out?
Dylan Massett[to Norman] Can I give you some advice? You gotta cut that shit out. "Mother?" It's just weird.
Dylan Massett[about Norma] She lives for the drama. She's like a addict, Norman. And when you have an addict in your life, the best thing you can do for them, and for yourself, is walk away.
Dylan MassettInteresting morning in White Pine Bay. Burnt up dude drives into a ditch in front of your new hotel? How rude. You know, it's a really nice town you picked here, Norma, to start a new life and all, you know?
Stop calling me Norma.
Dylan MassettYou're a damn joke, Norman. You let that bitch run you like a puppet.
She doesn't run me. She cares about me. And she's not a bad person, she's just not perfect! At least she tries, you son of a bitch!
Dylan MassettYou don't get it, do you, Norman? She's ruined you.
Dylan MassettThis where they shot Deliverance?
What's that?
Dylan MassettA movie. Ya know, "Boy, you got a pretty mouth."
What kinda movies you watch?
Dylan MassettThe kind where bad things happen to people in the middle of the woods.
You don't just walk away from your parents.
Dylan MassettOf course you do. We all do. I mean, isn't that the point?
Dylan MassettWho is this guy?
Zane? He's a lame-ass poser. Thinks he's a character out of Scarface. He's the brother of the big boss, a guy who shouldn't be in the business who is.
Dylan MassettWhat was he in prison for?
Our buddy Zane was running the shipment down to our distributors in Las Vegas. Got clocked doing 95 and they pulled him over.
Dylan MassettWhat kind of idiot speeds with a carload of weed?
That's my point exactly.
So, Paco and Tony. Doing them as what, payback for us taking out Johnny? Is that it? Is that the message?
Dylan MassettI think that's pretty likely.
Okay. What would you do about it? Just tell me.
Dylan MassettI don't think I'd do anything. I think I'd just stop. It's a zero-sum game. You just win until you lose again. It never ends. I'd just concentrate on having the best product and moving it. That's all.
I agree. That's very important. I also think that if they thought that Johnny was worth two of our guys, then two of our guys is worth ten of their guys or maybe twelve. Or however many I can get in one place at one time. And that right there, that's very important too.
Dylan MassettWhat did you go through?
I kept waiting to grow up, get bigger than him, but it just never happened. You know, I mean, for all I knew, every family was like ours anyway. But I'm a man now, so I get it, you know, how worthless he must've felt. But I wasn't a man then, and Norma sure wasn't. And he just took it out on us. Such a pretty little kid. Such a trusting girl, and I couldn't protect her. I mean, she wants to forget it happened, forget me, and I get that. She wants to blame me. I mean, I blame me too. I always have.
Dylan MassettYou'll do anything to get your way!
I've never gotten my way, and that includes being your mother!
If you're gonna sleep with my sister, manage your expectations.
Dylan MassettI don't...
Yeah, sure, I know. It's just, uh, it's not her first below her pay grade.
Dylan MassettHere I am, talk.
For future reference, Dylan, in business, as in life in general, pleasantries are an important part of how people communicate. It helps to define common ground.
I bought tickets to Montreal, to fly. We can leave tonight.
Dylan MassettYou can't do that! That's insane!
I don't know what else to do!! ...I got three tickets, I want you to come.
Dylan Massett...You bought me a ticket?
...I'm sorry Dylan! I'm so sorry! For everything. For how you were born. For how I handled it. How I shut you out. It was horrible of me and I'm so sorry.
Dylan MassettIt's not your fault Norma. You were just a kid.
I didn't know what I was doing. But as horrible as it was, I wouldn't trade it for anything because you're here now and you're beautiful and you're a miracle that someone like you could come out of all that. And I wouldn't give you up for anything.
[They embrace]
Man, you got a lot of guns.
Define "a lot".
Well, it means more than a few.
That's right. I have more than a few guns. Speaking of guns, Dylan, you shouldn't be shooting off guns around here. It attracts too much attention.
He didn't fire a gun. I did.
Yeah, you did. You know, it just It steps on the peaceful environment that we have here. It rattles Mother Nature. You understand that, don't you, Dylan?
Dylan MassettYeah, sure. We do.
You know, there's rules, right? We respect the rules. That's how we respect each other, right? If we all understand the rules, then we can coexist.
Dylan MassettYeah. Yeah, I guess.
Good. How many plants do you guys got?
Honestly, Chick, that's none of your Goddamn business.
Dylan MassettWe're cultivating 99 plants. It's the medical marijuana limit.
You guys remind me of these two guys in a book. You don't have any rabbits up there, do you? [raising his glass] To rabbits.
