Quotes 

• James 'Big Jim' Rennie : What the hell were you thinking, sneaking off like that?

  Norrie Calvert-Hill : You're not my dad. I can do what I want.

  James 'Big Jim' Rennie : Oh, sass? Now we get sass? Look, your actions affect all of us. You could've led those freaks straight here to us.

  Julia Shumway : Which she didn't, okay? She saved my life, so take it easy. We got bigger problems, anyway.

  James 'Big Jim' Rennie : Oh, you mean Barbie? Did his little side piece, uh, lure him back to alien town?

  Julia Shumway : No, but their baby is gonna be here sooner than we thought. Norrie and I just saw her. She almost looks full-term. And I'm pretty sure 12 girls just died to make it the world's shortest pregnancy.

  James 'Big Jim' Rennie : Well, then, we got to kill her. We got to put her down before that thing comes out.

  Julia Shumway : Why is that your solution to everything? Killing the problem. I'm sure you like stepping on spiders too.

  James 'Big Jim' Rennie : If the spider has a queen baby inside that's gonna wipe out the entire human race, that kind of spider, yeah, I think I'd kill it.

• Julia Shumway : This cure of yours, you really think it'll work?

  Hektor Martin : You said you didn't need it. I believe you said love was the answer.

  Julia Shumway : And now I am admitting that it might not be enough.

  Hektor Martin : Glad to hear it. Dr. Bloom has already synthesized a base formula. All we need now is a specimen of Christine Price's DNA.

  Julia Shumway : You'll need a test subject to try it out, right?

  Hunter May : I can be your lab monkey.

  Hektor Martin : Well, that's very generous of you... but it's necessary to have a subject in whom the infection is full-blown.

  Norrie Calvert-Hill : I have a question. Joe, he's working on this thing to bring the dome down - what if he finishes it before you can get this cure to work? What if they get out?

  James 'Big Jim' Rennie : Well, then we'll have a bunch of creepy-crawlies, that can have babies in three days, going forth and prospering. That's not gonna happen. I told you I'd get Christine Price's DNA - I'll get it.

• James 'Big Jim' Rennie : So the last time you saw Barbie here at the barn, he was walking away with Miss , uh, Barefoot and Ready-to-Pop?

  Julia Shumway : Mm-hmm.

  James 'Big Jim' Rennie : You sure he's still playing for the home team?

  Julia Shumway : Look, the only reason he's with her now is 'cause he cares what happens to his baby.

  James 'Big Jim' Rennie : Oh, I see. Just yesterday, you were all "Love conquers all." Now you're like, "Rah, rah, cure"?

  Julia Shumway : It's more than that. Barbie says the dome is calcifying. Pretty soon, there won't be any air to breathe.

  James 'Big Jim' Rennie : Does Hektor know about this?

  Julia Shumway : I don't think so.

  James 'Big Jim' Rennie : Well... if we're all going to suffocate, what's the point of a cure?

  Julia Shumway : If the cure works, and Joe figures out how to take down the dome, maybe we can all get out of here the same way we came in.

  James 'Big Jim' Rennie : Oh, human, you mean?

• James 'Big Jim' Rennie : We're gonna fix you kid.

  James 'Junior' Rennie : I've already been fixed. In the cocoons. They made me better.

  James 'Big Jim' Rennie : No, they didn't. They... they made you into something I don't recognize.

  James 'Junior' Rennie : 'Cause you're too shortsighted to comprehend. All I am is what the kinship needs me to be, what this world needs me to be.

  James 'Big Jim' Rennie : Junior, that sounds like helter skelter to me.

  James 'Junior' Rennie : You don't know what's coming. You better hope this cure doesn't work.

  James 'Big Jim' Rennie : Why?

  James 'Junior' Rennie : Because when the dome comes down, you'll need the kinship to survive.

  James 'Big Jim' Rennie : Survive what?
