Lucas: Which way's left?
Jake (dropping head and groaning frustrated): Ahhh!
Heather: Hold up your hands. Stick out your thumbs. The one that makes the L, that's your left. Boy (amazed at Jake): How'd you learn how to do that?

Johnston: Sheriff, Chief. Damage? Fire? Buildings?
Sheriff: Nothing Mr. Mayor, the town's fine.
Johnston: Let us hope you're right.
Girl: No fun, you have to hide better! What are you, what are you looking at?
Mayor Johnston Green: Hey, Shep? You said earlier that you had heard that speech before. Ever ask yourself why I say it? ‘Cause I happen to trust you people. ‘Cause I love my town. Now, something happened in Denver, in Atlanta, and it could be that we wake up and find out that’s where it stopped. But, until we know, are we going to use our imaginations to solve problems or to cause them? Now, we can get the power back on. We can find out how big this thing is. If we have to we can fight. We can fight anybody, we can fight all enemies. The only way that’s going to happen is if we work together. Now, go on home. We’ll meet tomorrow at the town hall. And folks, don’t you break my heart again.
Stanley: Oh, I can’t believe it. Jake Green. How you doing man? When did you get back to town?
Jake: Just now. Is that Bonnie? (Bonnie waves at Jake, Jake signs to Bonnie) You grew up.

Stanley: Well, wait a minute, where the hell have you been?
Jake: You know, around.
Stanley: Jake, no one’s been around for five years
Jake: The Army. I’ve been in the Army.
Stanley: Good for you.
Jake: What’s your name?
Heather: Heather.
Jake: Jake.
Heather: Nice to meet you, Jake.
Jake: You, too.

Mayor: What?
Gail: Dale Turners mother died tonight in another explosion, Atlanta...
Mayor: Oh my God!
Robert: You might want to get some black spray paint, you know, cover that. (Points at the word "Jericho" on the police car) Look, I know that you're telling people that is was an accident, an I hope it was, but if it was an attack, Sheriff and there's chaos out there, you might not want the wrong people to know that Jericho is still here.
Sheriff: With all do respect Mr. Hawkins, this is no St. Louis. (Walks off)
Robert: Excuse me, Sheriff, Robert Hawkins.
Sheriff: Well it's good to meet you Mr. Hawkins but as you can see, we have got outs hands full.
Robert: Could you use an extra man?
Sheriff: No civilians, mayor's orders.

(Johnston knocks on the door, Old Man Oliver answers the door cocking his shotgun)
Johnston: Oh, Oliver, would you stop that.
Old Man Oliver: Sorry, Johnston. Thought you were Aliens. Well, we're under attack, by Aliens. Don't you know that?
Johnston: Yes, we do. That's why we're here. Do you have your Ham radio?
Old Man Oliver: Yeah, for you....50 cents
Deputy: Are we under attack?
Johnston: Son, I don't want to hear that word again. Now look, this could have been a test. It could have been an accident. There's, uh, military bases near Denver. One explosion does not make an attack. If we stay calm, the town stays calm, okay.
Emily: Uh my-my fiancé he's in banking, so...
Jake: Oh, that helps.
Emily: Yeah, Roger really loves it here.

Eric: Jake what are you doing back?
Cop: You should be in Wichita by now.

Cop: I thought they were supposed to be black?
Gail: You know I keep thinking about when we were kids and how they used to make us practice hiding under our desks in case of an atomic bomb.
Johnston: Yeah and duck for cover.
Gail: That's the first thing I thought of when I saw that mushroom cloud. Did they have enough time to hide under their desks? It's pretty stupid huh.
Stanley: Are you okay?
Mimi: Huh, if you call radiation poisoning "okay".
Stanley: Were you out in the rain, too?
Mimi: Heavens no! I touched a building when we came out of the shelter.
Stanley: Oh.
Mimi: Look, you can stop pretending.

Stanley: Thanks. You know, try to work out.
(Mimi laughs)

Mimi: You're really sweet. And you still owe the IRS $180,000.
Stanley: Yeah, I know

Eric: I don't know if I told you this, but my father is impervious to mere germs.

Skylar: I'll give you $20 for them!
