Quotes
-
James 'Big Jim' Rennie : [sees a funnel cloud] What the hell?
Maxine Seagrave : Hell's right here.
-
Dale 'Barbie' Barbara : What the hell did you do?
James 'Big Jim' Rennie : As long as Max is breathing, she's a threat. Now she's not. And neither are you.
-
Sheriff Linda Esquivel : So, you, Duke Perkins and Reverend Coggins conspired to acquire a vast amount of propane?
James 'Big Jim' Rennie : Yeah, we bought propane off the books. But only to keep this town afloat.
Sheriff Linda Esquivel : By selling it to Maxine Seagrave? A drug dealer? But you kept some of it in your warehouse.
James 'Big Jim' Rennie : And you can thank the Lord that we did. Because right now in the middle of this nightmare, the lights are on. Because your generator is running using my propane. The diner's open because of my propane. We're setting up irrigation for crops, bartering systems. Hell, Chester's Mill might just stay alive because of my propane. You think I'm a crook? I think I'm owed a damn parade.
Sheriff Linda Esquivel : You know, it doesn't change the fact that if this dome hadn't come down, you'd be in jail. I'd say it saved your ass, Big Jim.

James 'Big Jim' Rennie : You and I need to talk. Somebody shot Julia Shumway.
Maxine Seagrave : It's a perilous world we live in.
James 'Big Jim' Rennie : I know it was you.
Maxine Seagrave : Well, Barbie said the one word a girl hates to hear: "No".
James 'Big Jim' Rennie : Where is this going, Max?
Maxine Seagrave : That's up to you, Jimmy. Life's all about making the right choices. You make the right one, you play nice, and it's good between us. You step out of line like Barbie did...

Dale 'Barbie' Barbara : We're gonna do this by my rules, Jim. We're taking Max alive.
James 'Big Jim' Rennie : Oh, great. So we'll be high and mighty. And dead.
Dale 'Barbie' Barbara : That's all you know, isn't it? Kill or be killed? You're not saving Chester's Mill, you're eating this town alive.
James 'Big Jim' Rennie : You have no idea what it takes.
Dale 'Barbie' Barbara : We do this, and then you and I we're finished. I've spent the last two weeks trying to convince myself that we want the same thing.
James 'Big Jim' Rennie : We do.
Dale 'Barbie' Barbara : No. I want a future. I want something that I can build towards. *You* want a kingdom.
James 'Big Jim' Rennie : This town needs a leader.
Dale 'Barbie' Barbara : Not your kind.
