- (mumbles) Teeter.

- What's that?

- (slowly) Tee-ter.

- Did you hear her?

- I think she said Peter.

Your name Peter?

- Do I look like my (gun shot) name is Peter,

you skunk haired mother (horse neighs)?

- When she showed up,

I was just like, "Oh, that's gonna fit right in."

(rock music)

I was talking to Taylor one day,

and he said, "Hey, I've got this idea for this character."

And then he said, "Do you wanna see the audition tape?"

- Jennifer is so amazing.

I saw the tape as well,

and I just was like, "I don't...

"Aren't you supposed to understand

what the actor is saying?"

- Ride the hair off a horse, that's for damn sure,

but we need someone who can speak English.

- And he was like, "Well, no, that's the point."

And I'm like, at that point, I was like,

"You have lost me.

"I have no idea, what are you talking about?"

- Where'd you learn to cowboy?

- (mumbles) You know I been (beep) pullen and dragging

since I could bounce piss off a rug.

- That ain't Spanish, she's Texan.

- That ain't Texan.

That's gibberish.

- What is this?

- Oh, a little job fair.

- Is this a job that you walk up to

and you say like, "Here's my resume, look at it,"

or is this a thing where you're just like,

"Oh, this is what you wanna do.

"Hop on a horse and we'll see what you got"?

- I think the requirements

for our bunkhouse and on the ranch,

we assume that you're skilled,

but you have to have a certain attitude.

Well, you gotta be a character.

- I feel like to work at the Yellowstone,

you have to stay focused,

you have to have a real sense of focus,

you probably shouldn't talk to Beth.

- Every now and then you say something

that makes me think you're smart.

And then I look at you,

and that thought fades.

- You have to be willfully ignorant

of a lot of the like (laughs) rampant violence

that's occurring around you.

(gun shots)

I think Jimmy is more ignorant

than he is good at ranch work.

- Jimmy, quit asking me (bleep) questions.

- You gotta be open minded.

Just like us on set,

you never know who's gonna give you an order.

- Jimmy, go get on the quad.

- You don't know if it's gonna come from the director

or from Cole Hauser or from Forrie J. Smith.

- Jimmy, get off the horse.

- You gotta be willing to roll with those punches.

Yeah, it's not a traditional workplace,

but you know, it offers great rewards.

- But it's equal opportunity.

- Women work twice as hard and eat half as much.

- Wow, you're a real renaissance man, you know that?

- In New York a lot of jobs cut,

like sometimes they're like,

"Hey, we're not gonna pay you that much,

"and there's no benefits,"

but they'll give you a MetroCard.

On the Yellowstone, you sometimes get

a free train ticket, you know?

- Where you taking him?

- Said he's gonna take me to the train station.

- A lot of your coworkers are cattle, cows.

Some of my best friends on this show are cows.

- Cause you stuck your hand up one of them, right?

Didn't you?

So you know them pretty well.

Cause you had your whole hand up one.

- Exactly.

- So he actually is pretty close to a lot of them.

- Yeah, that's the free healthcare plan for the cows.

(cow moos)

- I see the women in this valley

have gotten a lot more fashionable.

- Yeah?

I see Chippendales changed their policy on capped teeth.

- What's that?

- Josh Holloway's one of the nicest actors I've ever met.

I think he's incredible.

Those scenes are so fun to watch.

- [Denim] Right, yeah.

- And seeing the way that it translates from the page,

the script, hilarious,

and then those actors.

- Right, right.

- To see Kelly Reilly's comedic chops?

- Yeah, a little bit lighter, yeah.

- Cause she's so funny too. - Yeah.

- [Roarke] Bob Schwartz's girl.

- I'm nobody's girl.

- You're somebody's girl.

- Okay, let's stop speaking in Billy Joel songs,

for starters, okay?

- She's found someone that she can spar with legitimately.

- Yeah!

- Yeah, and on an intellectual level.

- Yeah, and now you can see that her eyes

twinkle a little bit, like,

"This is a formidable opponent.

"I want to play for a minute."

- Which gets her excited.

- Have you given any thought at all

to the ranchers who live here?

What'll happen to them?

- What'll happen to them?

They won't have to be ranchers anymore

cause they're all so (beep) rich.

- Good answer.

- Beth can get anyone's goat. - Yeah.

- So it's so exciting to see her go up against someone

who you just can't ruffle.

- Okay, my mistake, you (beep) cheese (beep).

(Roarke laughs)

- Yeah. - You know I mean?

He's like a real float like a butterfly,

like you can't (beep) ruffle that guy.

- He's literally floating around in the water.

- Yeah, exactly.

- Like what seems to be the problem?

- Like he's happy to be here.

And he has so much, it's because he has so much power,

so much power and status and money.

- And backed up by so much power.

- Yeah, it's so much harder to get him angry.

- [Roarke] Mind the flowers when you leave.

(car engine revs)

(sighs) I like this girl.

(rock music)

- She wants to ride up there with us.

- Go grab her a horse.

- But all the good ones are up at camp.

The only thing left here's a bunch

of freight trains and monsters.

- What the (bleep) is wrong with your horse, Jake?

- Well, that's my horse.

- Okay, Monica, get on Jake's horse.

Go on, we don't have time for this (bleep).

- Ladies, I'm home.

- Uh oh.

- Television's Jake Ream.

- Jake Ream. - How you doin', man?

- Welcome to Hollywood.

- Thank you!

- You look great, this is very hip, actually.

- Do you think maybe you've gotten a little soft

now that you're Hollywood?

- You're even walking different.

I feel different.

- Soft are fighting words.

Soft is, soft is not a good word.

- Get him, Denim. - No.

- How did you go from selling horses

to being a TV star?

- When I first met Taylor,

he actually just got my number off the internet,

called me, and I had a horse for sale,

and him and his wife come down and tried it out,

and they ended up buying it,

and then he came down and started riding quite a bit.

I didn't know who he was.

That went on for about two years.

We just kinda become pretty good friends,

and the first horse show we went to,

the secretary, she says, "How did you meet him?"

I says, "Who, that guy?"

She goes, "You don't know who he is?"

I said, "So you're like some famous guy?"

- And then you led cowboy camp.

- Yeah.

(horse neighs)

- Oh, Jesus Christ.

- How was that for you?

- I still have ulcers.

Still, to this day.

- Well, no, but seriously, right?

Cause you got all these actors

that are, for the most part, come from big cities,

and now they were all gonna come

for this super immersive experience.

- Well, to tell you the truth,

everything was really good when he told me all about it.

Then he says, "These guys,

"they're not real 100 percent comfortable

"on horses, you know."

I was really excited till I met all of you.

(everyone laughs)

And that's when I was like,

Oh, dear God, what did I get myself into?

(hooves thumping)

- I got him!

Early on in the show,

we would have these big sort of horse-riding sequences

and we needed someone to do it with us,

to take care of us.

(cow moos)

I remember before "Jake" was necessarily a character,

Jake Ream was still out there riding alongside us.

- Doing all of it, yeah.

- Making sure we were safe.

I feel like you do about 10 jobs.

You, like, protect the riders on the show.

You deal with all the cattle.

You help organize the horses.

You've been doing all these jobs

since the very beginning.

- It's been a lot of jobs.

I'm not sure of my job title.

- [Jefferson] (laughs) Yeah.

I hope you're getting like six paychecks.

- Just do what you get told.

That's my job title.

Let's go get a horse.

- And you were originally cast as Rip, I think, right?

- [Denim] Well, he turned it down.

- Yeah, you turned it down.

- Remember he said he wasn't interested.

It wasn't meaty enough.

- Cole Hauser doesn't have quite the opportunities,

the professional opportunities you have,

so he needed the role a little more.

- (laughing) Yeah, yeah.

I'm not going there.

- Yeah, cause Cole Hauser's knocking.

- Is that door gonna open?

What are you dip (beep) doing?

(rock music)

Can you hear me?

Hello?

(buzzer beeps)

- Are you comfy out at Thousand Peaks

when you have no signal?

Sometimes I'm like, "I wanna jump in a van

and run back to base."

And they're like, "Why?"

And I'm like, "I peed my pants.

"I need to change them."

- Yeah, that's what I'm saying, exactly.

- Just to get into, cause base camp has WiFi.

But then you get there and you're like,

"What am I looking at?"

- [Denim] Nothing's happening.

Nobody's waiting for you.

- What's happening?

- God damn it.

- I think the hardest thing

about being up there with no cell service

is it makes it way harder to engage with the fans.
