Force Majeure

Under the Dome 2×3

& Barbie: Gonna head down to the diner.
    Julia: Jim’s mandatory citizen registration?

& Joe: It can’t be blood, can it?
    Norrie: I don’t think it’s cherry Kool-Aid.

& Big Jim: The Apocalypse... what Lyle was talking about. Do you believe in it?
    Rebecca: I believe in the original definition of “apocalypse.” It’s Greek. To uncover, or reveal. That’s what crises do. They reveal character, strength... Or not.

& Rebecca: Believe in me, and I will believe in you.
    Big Jim: Science and faith, huh?

& Melanie: Eight... seventeen... one.
Ω Another 4 8 15 16 23 42?

& Rebecca: We should have a contingency plan in case we run out of options.
    Julia: What kind of contingency plan?
    Rebecca: It may become necessary... selectively, I’m saying... to thin the herd.
    Julia: Selectively?
Ω Tough girl.

& Barbie: She’s just talking about a contingency.
    Big Jim: Trouble in paradise...

& Lyle: You’ve heard of force majeure, yeah?.. An extraordinary circumstance that frees both parties from a contract. Well, you know what? This dome is about as majeure a force as it gets.

& Rebecca: I read about a tribe in Borneo. I can’t remember what they were called. But they had this ritual, something that they would do every year. They’d put all their elderly, their infirm, up into a tree, and they would shake it. And whoever held on was considered strong enough, useful enough to make it to the next year.
    Big Jim: Those that couldn’t hold on?
