& Barbie: We hope it takes us home, but what if it takes us to an alternate reality?..
Ω Really? Alternate reality? Nothing less?

& Melanie: We’re going home. It’s time to move on.
Ω You, sure, right, Melanie? Someone must to move on.

& Big Jim: We are the only ones left. I may need you. For repopulation.
Ω So far! Enough.

Ω More tunnels, really?

& Big Jim: I’ll miss my wife forever. No one’s gonna miss you.
Ω Not sorry.

& Big Jim: I won’t murder every single one of your special little friends. I won’t slit Julia’s throat, shoot Barbie in the heart, or burn those kids alive. Okay? You got three seconds.

Under the Dome 2×12

& Pauline: You should be resting after everything you’ve been through.
    Lyle: You hear that? Huh? I think we’re all gonna be resting pretty soon.

& Barbie: All that matters is that we survive.
    Julia: And we’re going to.
    Barbie: We’re gonna give it our damndest.

& Norrie: We’re gonna find a way out of here somehow, someway. We are not gonna die in here.
    Ben: You know how I know it’s all over?
    Norrie: How?
    Ben: The girl who bitched and moaned about how much she hates this place is now telling me everything’s gonna be okay.

& Rebecca: I wanted a reason...
    Melanie: Maybe some questions have no answers.
    Rebecca: You sound like Julia.
    Melanie: Is that such a bad thing?
    Rebecca: There’s a better thing, Melanie... knowing.

---

& Rebecca: You know, knowing the answers doesn’t take away the wonder, it actually makes it more amazing.

& Joe: We need a gun for protection in case he tries anything when he gets here.
    Norrie: You want protection? Just get behind me.

& Sam: Science doesn’t have every answer.
    Rebecca: Well, I just can’t give up like you and Julia.
    Sam: It’s not giving up. It’s letting go. There’s a difference.
    Rebecca: Which is?
    Sam: Knowing there are things you don’t know and still being okay with it.

& Pauline: That’s the problem. You always think you’re qualified to make judgments about what other people’s best interests are.

& Big Jim: I dropped that egg to save you.
    Pauline: No, you dropped that egg to save the day, to be the hero you always want to be. That’s not love, that’s narcissism.

& Julia: A single candle can really keep us alive?
    Barbie: You’d be surprised how much heat one candle can give off.

    Melanie: You never know how many chances you’re gonna get.

& Barbie: My thinking is, if we give him what he wants, maybe they leave us alone.
Ω You wish. Big guy, still so childish thinking.

& Hunter: Hey. I’m Hunter. And you’re Joe McAlister, Vlog Master, and @neithernorrie, slaying the world a hundred and forty characters at a time.

& Pauline: He only did it because of what I put in my journal.
    Junior: You drew a picture! He murdered a girl.

& Big Jim: And how do I fit into your little plan?.. ’Cause I’m a part of it. Starting now.

& Big Jim: Whoever’s out there’s not gonna detain 2,000 people. This is still America.
    Barbie: Oh, oh. You mean the same people that bombed this place, right?

& Pauline: It’s coming soon, soon. It’s coming... Oh, my God. It’s the end of everything, Jim. I see it in my head.

The Red Door

Under the Dome 2×9

    Interrogator: National Defense Authorization Act says I don’t have to charge you or release you.
    Barbie: I’m not a terrorist.
    Interrogator: Prove it.

& Pauline: Why red? Why a door?
    Lyle: You know, i-in the Old Testament, the Israelites would paint their doors red with the blood of lambs as a symbol of sacrifice so that the angel of vengeance would pass them by.
    Sam: Oh, you’re just full of happy stories, aren’t you?

---

& Hunter: It’s okay, Trevor. It’s kind of his way of saying hello.

& Hunter: I’ve got all the red doors here in Zenith. Personally, I’m thinking the storage space, but if we’re really digging into the space-time of it all, the colonial’s got that whole Narnia spin.

Ω And here they’re, together again.

& Rebecca: If the evidence changes, your thinking has to change. It’s called science.

& Melanie: So when you touch the dome, it shows you stuff?
    Joe: Yeah. Like, visions, I guess.
    Melanie: Seriously?
    Norrie: Hey, you told us you died and we got on board. Have some team spirit.

& Norrie: Think of it this way: you were alive, then dead, now alive again. Two out of three ain’t bad.

& Rebecca: I just think, maybe... we should give Julia a chance. Maybe benevolence isn’t such a bad quality in a leader.

Revelation

Under the Dome 2×4

& Rebecca: Good morning.
    Big Jim: I’m not sure how good it is.

& Big Jim: Well, got to see where we stand.
    Rebecca: Well, we know where we stand. We need people who are healthy, with practical skills, who give more than they take. So, who’s next?

& Barbie: If this place runs out of food, let’s hope that we’re not on the menu.

& Norrie: Joe, please. Save your theory on intelligent life-forms of the universe for a TED talk.

& Melanie: We should show him.
    Norrie: Uh, yeah, no, the last thing he wants to hear is that you found the Fountain of Youth in 1988.

& Barbie: How do you know that combination?
    Melanie: I think this was my locker... In 1988.
    Barbie: What?!
Ω Such a long way from original Dome.

& Julia: Eggs for breakfast, blood samples for dinner?

& Joe: We’re supposed to use microfilm in Julia’s newspaper office?
    Norrie: Seriously? This is how they found things in the stone age.
    Joe: Yeah, we can’t search by Melanie’s name?
    Barbie: No. You just got to scroll and look.
    Norrie: I miss the Internet, I miss my cell phone, I miss texting, I miss Sushi...

---

& Big Jim: What’s inside the eggs, Rebecca?
    Rebecca: You said you’d do what it takes to save this town. What’s inside those eggs is how you’re gonna do it.
Ω How she could possible...

& Norrie: How am I supposed to compete with a girl he thinks is from a galaxy far, far away?
    Barbie: Uh, I’m sure he’s just trying to help.
    Norrie: Don’t undermine my feelings of jealousy and abandonment.

& Rebecca: I needed to get in here, to mix the swine flu with samples of influenza. In a few hours, the recombinant virus inside those eggs will be strong enough to infect one quarter of this town.
    Big Jim: You want to release it?
    Rebecca: No. I want you to.
Ω Sweet girl.

& Big Jim: You want me to play God?
    Rebecca: You said you wanted to see who could carry their own weight. This is how. It’s not God... it’s... it’s Darwin. It’s survival of the fittest.
    Big Jim: Meaning we’re at risk, too.
    Rebecca: Yes. A virus is nature’s way of leveling the playing field.
Ω Love scientists.

& Big Jim: This is crazy.
    Rebecca: It’s merciful. In seven days, we run out of food. In 14, people will be starving. In 21, we’ll turn on each other.

& Melanie: If I died... Then what am I?
    Joe: And why are you here?
    Norrie: And where are your bones?
Ω Smart children. Good questions.

    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.

& Junior: If you killed Angie, so help me, I will make you suffer!

& Sam: Never gets easier. Losing people.

& Barbie: Well, I got to say... I never expected to be the one thanking you for saving my life.
    Big Jim Rennie: Yeah, well... meet the new Big Jim.

& Rebecca: It’s not about one day. Heroes leave behind a good story, but a great leader leaves a legacy.
    Big Jim Rennie: You don’t really believe the dome chose me to lead, do you?
    Rebecca: I believe Chester’s Mill chose you. And they’re gonna need us. You, especially, today.
Ω Us??

& Rebecca: You’ve taken inventory of the wrong thing. We’re the problem, Jim. It’s us. There are too many people in here for our limited resources. We can’t all survive.
Ω Such a beatch, huh?
