- Joe McAlister: Shouldn't we get your moms?
- Norrie Calvert-Hill: Why? It's not like any of their phony L.A. friends are gonna make the trip.
- Joe McAlister: Yeah, but they never made it to where you were headed. Somebody out there's probably worried.
- Norrie Calvert-Hill: [scoffs] Who cares? I'm just excited to meet your folks. I can't wait to tell them you're shacking up with an underage girl and two lesbians.
- Norrie Calvert-Hill: I didn't realize that crashing with a farm kid meant that I had to get up at the ass-crack of dawn
- Joe McAlister: Come on, it's about the dome.
- Norrie Calvert-Hill: Really? Is it gone? Are we finally free?
- Joe McAlister: You'll see. I've been thinking about our seizures. About what we said.
- Norrie Calvert-Hill: "The pink stars are falling". You figured out what that means?
- Joe McAlister: Not yet, but if the dome is really sending out messages, then we're like human receivers. We can catch a few of the transmissions on our own, but when we get too close to each other
- [Holds the two walkies together to demonstrate]
- Joe McAlister: Feedback.
- Norrie Calvert-Hill: Joe, why would the dome only talk to us?
- Joe McAlister: I don't know.
- Dale 'Barbie' Barbara: Moab.
- Dodee Weaver: Come again?
- Dale 'Barbie' Barbara: What your reverend was ranting about. His hearing aid must have intercepted a transmission like the ones that you're picking up at the station station.
- Dodee Weaver: But why would the army be telling Bible stories?
- Dale 'Barbie' Barbara: Moab is not a city, it's an acronym: MOAB - "Mother of All Bombs". That's what we call the largest nonnuclear missile in our arsenal.
- Dodee Weaver: You think they're gonna launch that thing at the dome? Would it work?
- Dale 'Barbie' Barbara: Yeah.
- Dodee Weaver: Then why don't you look happy?
- Dale 'Barbie' Barbara: Because it'll also kill everybody inside.
- Dodee Weaver: What?
- Dale 'Barbie' Barbara: Dodee, Visitors' Day was not about saying hello to your families. It was about saying goodbye
- Joe McAlister: Monarch butterflies aren't even in season. They shouldn't be anywhere near Chester's Mill this time of year.
- Norrie Calvert-Hill: Maybe the dome sent them. Maybe it's trying to tell us that the dome's just a cocoon, and when it finally goes away, we'll all get to be something new.
- Joe McAlister: You realize most caterpillars are actually eaten before they turn into butterflies?
- [Norrie gives him a look]
- James 'Big Jim' Rennie: So help me God, if you ruin this day for these people, I'm gonna...
- Reverend Lester Coggins: What, beat me to a pulp? In front of the congregation? I'm not scared of you anymore, Jim Rennie. All I fear is the wrath of my Lord. And the only way we're gonna be spared His fury is if we confess our sins.
- James 'Big Jim' Rennie: Sins. Hmm. We saved Chester's Mill!
- Reverend Lester Coggins: We helped drug dealers make their poison.
- James 'Big Jim' Rennie: We never let 'em sell it here. It's not my fault you dipped into their supply.
- Reverend Lester Coggins: All you ever think about is fattening your own coffers.
- James 'Big Jim' Rennie: All you ever think about is fattening your own coffers. Damn it, Lester, you listen...
- Reverend Lester Coggins: No, you listen to me! You may have fooled some of these people into thinking you're some kind of leader. But nobody's going to follow you anywhere, ever, when they hear just exactly who you are.
- Joe McAlister: Ben, were you at Visitors' Day?
- Ben Drake: Yeah, but pretty much everyone I actually like is stuck in here with us, so I just talked to random strangers.
- Norrie Calvert-Hill: About what?
- Ben Drake: China threatened to attack us after the dome showed up?
- Joe McAlister: Seriously?
- Ben Drake: Yeah, this guy said Beijing thought we were testing some kind of illegal superweapon, so the president had to talk 'em off the ledge, tell them we didn't even build it.
- Norrie Calvert-Hill: [Sarcastic] Great. Sounds like the grown-ups have it all under control.
- Norrie Calvert-Hill: I didn't realize that crashing with a farm kid meant that I had to get up at the a**-crack of dawn
- Joe McAlister: Come on, it's about the dome.
