- Norrie Calvert-Hill: We saw the missile hit the dome.
- Joe McAlister: Didn't even put a dent in it.
- Norrie Calvert-Hill: What's it made of if a bomb couldn't blow it up?
- Julia Shumway: She's right. How is that possible?
- Dale 'Barbie' Barbara: I don't know. Nothing about this thing makes any sense.
- Ollie Dinsmore: [after patting the dome's surface] You can say that again. Still smooth as a baby's butt.
- Julia Shumway: What is that noise?
- Phil Bushey: I don't know, but it's jamming our broadcast. Kind of sounds like the alien from Aliens.
- Julia Shumway: Well, all the police walkies are making the same sound. Is Dodee picking up any military chatter from outside the dome?
- Phil Bushey: Oh, screech is jamming that, too. And if it's this loud, then the source is probably close.
- Julia Shumway: How close?
- Phil Bushey: Best guess? Mile or two.
- Julia Shumway: So it's inside Chester's Mill?
- [Phil sighs]
- Julia Shumway: Listen, if it's that close, maybe we can find it.
- Dodee Weaver: [Enters carrying some sort of device] One step ahead of you, Julia.
- Julia Shumway: Do I even want to know what that is?
- Dodee Weaver: Us radio heads call it a "yagi". I rigged it to locate the source of the screech using frequency triangulation. Look, whatever this screech is, it can't be a coincidence that it started just as the missile was about to hit the dome.
- Julia Shumway: You think the dome was trying to scream?
- Phil Bushey: Or protect itself.
- Dodee Weaver: Who knows? But if it was, it might be what's generating the dome itself. We just have to follow the signal to the power source.
- Julia Shumway: Well, if that's true, then if we can track it down...
- Dodee Weaver: Maybe we can turn it off.
- Dale 'Barbie' Barbara: You really believe that? No need for alarm?
- Sheriff Linda Esquivel: Rule number one of law enforcement: you always believe in the goodness of people you serve. That's what Duke taught me on the first day of the job.
- Dale 'Barbie' Barbara: Yeah, and if they prove you wrong?
- Sheriff Linda Esquivel: Rule number two: you do what you got to do.
- James 'Big Jim' Rennie: You got a well, and the people of Chester's Mill could really use your help.
- Ollie Dinsmore: What's in it for me?
- James 'Big Jim' Rennie: How about a sense of civic pride?
- Ollie Dinsmore: That's typical. You always take me for granted, Jim. All us farmers. Till now.
- James 'Big Jim' Rennie: You still sore the town council took Kip Lester's side on that fence dispute?
- Ollie Dinsmore: That so-called "fence dispute" lost me seven acres of my farm.
- James 'Big Jim' Rennie: That was 15 years ago, Ollie.
- Rose Twitchell: Your brother is safe. And so are you.
- Angie McAlister: But Junior's a cop now. And his dad's a councilman. Who's gonna believe my word against theirs?
- Rose Twitchell: I do. I do. Don't you worry, honey, 'cause we'll make sure that everybody else does, too.
- James 'Big Jim' Rennie: You know, I could always seize that well, you backwoods son of a bitch.
- Ollie Dinsmore: And I'm sure you'd find some bylaw or loophole to justify doing it. I mean, that's always been the Big Jim way, hasn't it? But not anymore.
- James 'Big Jim' Rennie: What's that supposed to mean?
- Ollie Dinsmore: It means I don't give a rat's ass what piece of official paper you pull out. You step foot on my land except to bring me more propane, you'll get a bullet between the eyes. I always could shoot better than you.
