Under the Dome2013

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.
