The 50 Best 'Yellowstone' Quotes to Help Make the Season 4 Premiere Wait a Bit Easier
Let's start by stating the obvious: The wait for season 4 of Yellowstone is beyond excruciating at this point. No announcements from Paramount about the TV ranch drama, no new trailer, no hints about when it could be returning, no nothing! To put it bluntly, it's quite painful and we're really starting to miss the Dutton family. Like, a lot.
But the one good thing to come out of all this practicing of patience? We're now way more appreciative of the Duttons than ever before. Thinking back on seasons 1, 2 and 3, we can recall so many times Kayce (Luke Grimes), Beth (Kelly Reilly), Lloyd (Forrie J. Smith) and others delivered bone-chilling one liners that stopped us dead in our tracks. And then of course there's John (Kevin Costner), who regularly drops hilarious sayings or clever lines worthy of being printed on decorative pillows.
Now that we're enduring a Yellowstone-less summer — at least, until we hear otherwise — we've committed to using the time we'd normally spend devouring each new episode to instead recalling some of the show's most iconic sayings and quotes. We invite you to join us in reminiscing on some of the best lines from Yellowstone to help make the show drought that much more bearable. After all, you might just find something you like to use for an Instagram caption in the future.
