Quotes 

• Julia Shumway : Pink stars?

  James 'Big Jim' Rennie : Oh, don't start that crap again.

  Julia Shumway : Jim, look.

  James 'Big Jim' Rennie : What the hell? Shooting stars burn out.

  Julia Shumway : Did that star just hit us? Oh, my God.

  James 'Big Jim' Rennie : Looks like a meteor!

  [they run for cover] 

• Julia Shumway : I knew the guy that owned this house. Ferguson Faulkner. Don't think ol' Ferg would want his house turned into a torture chamber. He was a, you know, bleeding heart type as rich as he was. And... he was a lush, too. Which means... we get to watch the end of the world drinking the good stuff. Obvisouly, he was a bird lover, too.

  Julia Shumway : Yeah, he loved them so much, he had them killed and stuffed.

  James 'Big Jim' Rennie : Yeah.

  [laughs] 

  Julia Shumway : Something funny?

  James 'Big Jim' Rennie : I was just thinking how good I'd look stuffed up there. They'd have a hard time with your hair, though.

  Julia Shumway : And no trouble at all with yours.

• Julia Shumway : Go on with your fascinating story.

  James 'Big Jim' Rennie : Well, when I fished Lyle Chumley out of the lake and, um... sidebar - I should never do that again. He started talking about the end of days. And how the world would be on fire in some, you know wall of flame a thousand feet high. Like a lot of things, he got the apocalypse wrong too.

  Julia Shumway : The sixth extinction.

  James 'Big Jim' Rennie : What?

  Julia Shumway : Dinosaurs were the fifth extinction. Big old asteroid came. Bye-bye, triceratops; bye-bye, brontosaurus. We... humans will be the sixth.

  James 'Big Jim' Rennie : Well, we may be an endangered species, but we're not going the way of the dodo anytime soon.

• James 'Big Jim' Rennie : Well... it finally happened, huh? You finally, uh, given up on all that silly-side up, Pollyanna routine, huh? Talking about all that crap how the dome's here to save us.

  Julia Shumway : Oh, no. I wasn't wrong. Oh, the dome's here to protect. It's just not here to protect us.

• Julia Shumway : Guess this means I'll never get to go to Paris.

  James 'Big Jim' Rennie : Paris? Plenty of stuff to regret more than not getting to that dirty ciudad.

  Julia Shumway : That's Spanish.

• James 'Big Jim' Rennie : There's only one thing in this life that I regret, and that's letting everything that I earned, everything I cared about get taken away from me. And I'll be damned if I let anything get taken away again.
