Quotes
-
James 'Big Jim' Rennie : Junior! What the hell have you done?
James 'Junior' Rennie : I'm just doing what I have to do in order to move on.
James 'Big Jim' Rennie : What?
James 'Junior' Rennie : Christine was right. I needed to finish what I started.
James 'Big Jim' Rennie : Christine? Let me tell you something. She's not who you think she is. Those cocoons. I think she's responsible.
James 'Junior' Rennie : I should thank her. I've never been happier.
James 'Big Jim' Rennie : This makes you happy?
James 'Junior' Rennie : I don't feel it. It's gone.
James 'Big Jim' Rennie : What's gone?
James 'Junior' Rennie : You. You don't exist. You're not my father anymore.

Julia Shumway : Overdue for a fishing trip?
James 'Big Jim' Rennie : I'm getting out of here.
Julia Shumway : You're leaving?
James 'Big Jim' Rennie : Do you know what happens inside a cocoon? That fuzzy little caterpillar liquefies. And when it comes out, it's something else. Those people, they're, uh, they're not the same.
Julia Shumway : Well, of course, they're not. Think about what they've been through.
James 'Big Jim' Rennie : No, I mean they're not the same. They've changed. Junior, he-he burned down the house, and whistled while it blazed, all dead behind the eyes.
Julia Shumway : He finally stood up to you.
James 'Big Jim' Rennie : I know my son. That's not him. You think your precious little Barbie is the same? No way.
Julia Shumway : Barbie and I and gonna be just fine. But you? You're run out of town. You do whatever you need to rationalize that.
James 'Big Jim' Rennie : Listen. I'm right about them. Just like I was right about everything else.

James 'Junior' Rennie : I-I don't know how I'm back here.
James 'Big Jim' Rennie : You were in some kind of a-a, a-a cocoon, and-and... you never went anywhere.
James 'Junior' Rennie : I did. I moved on. I got rid of you. This time has to be different, Dad. I want to forgive you.
James 'Big Jim' Rennie : For what?
James 'Junior' Rennie : All of it. Locking me up in that bomb shelter, alone, in the dark. Leaving me up in that tree, forcing me to go get the belt.
James 'Big Jim' Rennie : [slaps him] I saved you. You should be thanking me. You were a weak little kid. I just tried to make you strong.
James 'Junior' Rennie : I was stronger without you.
James 'Big Jim' Rennie : Where? In your little make-believe cocoon world? You're still weak. You're pathetic and afraid. You can punch that dome as many times as you need to, Junior. You're back under it.
