- Angie McAlister: [to Big Jim] You know, it was a good thing I wasn't up on those gallows with you. 'Cause I'd have kicked out that trap door and danced while you hung on the end of the rope.
- Junior Rennie: He was telling the truth, wasn't he? You killed Dodee.
- James 'Big Jim' Rennie: She was gonna spread lies about our family that would tear this town apart.
- Junior Rennie: You're the one tearing Chester's Mill apart.
- James 'Big Jim' Rennie: No, I'm the one with the guts to do what needs to be done! Someone has to make the hard choices! You gonna do it?
- Junior Rennie: Linda just did. Who's next, Dad? Maybe it's you.
- Dodee Weaver: What happening out there is your fault. Only, it's the townspeople who are paying.
- James 'Big Jim' Rennie: Why would I have hallucinations? I've been carrying this whole town on my shoulders ever since Dome Day.
- Dodee Weaver: The dome is ripping Chester's Mill apart!
- James 'Big Jim' Rennie: See you, sweetheart. Go back to the Twilight Zone. I got work to do.
- Angie McAlister: The dome showed a vision to the four hands. It showed us Big Jim's death. But we didn't kill him and the dome reacted. Badly. The dome wants Jim dead. And I don't think this is gonna stop until that happens.
- Dale 'Barbie' Barbara: I hate Big Jim as much as you do. But taking another man's life... I know how much that costs. So let's try this the science teacher's way first.
- James 'Big Jim' Rennie: What are you?
- Dodee Weaver: A messenger.
- James 'Big Jim' Rennie: I'm listening.
- Dodee Weaver: No, you're not. You're still thinking you're going to get out here and keep on keeping on killing whoever gets in your way.
- James 'Big Jim' Rennie: Screw you. I don't care if you're are the dome... or whatever the hell else you are. I'm the only one who can run this town.
- Dodee Weaver: The whole town's going down, and it's your fault. You never sacrificed, not once in your life, and now... you're gonna have to.
- James 'Big Jim' Rennie: Shut up and be dead! I'm busy.
- Dodee Weaver: See? You're not listening. But you will.
- Sheriff Linda Esquivel: You can talk to me, Jim.
- James 'Big Jim' Rennie: What the hell are you suppose to be? Ghost of Christmas Future?
- Sheriff Linda Esquivel: The future depends on you.
- James 'Big Jim' Rennie: Tell me how I can help him.
- Sheriff Linda Esquivel: Come to me, Jim. Come to me.
- James 'Big Jim' Rennie: Please, Linda. Please, tell me... tell me what I can do.
- Sheriff Linda Esquivel: Come. Tell Big Jim Rennie what to do? I wouldn't dare. Big Jim Rennie does as he pleases. Everything you do, you do it for your own good. Look at yourself. Look at your son. The only person left in this world you claim to care about. Time's running out, Jim. But it's not too late.
- James 'Big Jim' Rennie: Not too late for what?
- Sheriff Linda Esquivel: To learn the virtue of sacrifice. To save your son.
- Norrie Calvert-Hill: That magnet mess with your head?
- Carolyn Hill: You keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Trust me, Eleanor. My brain's fine.
