Locke:
[explaining why he wanted to let the island monster drag him off] I believe that I was being tested.
Jack:
Tested?
Locke:
Yeah, tested. I think... that's why you and I don't see eye-to-eye sometimes, Jack because you're a man of science.
Jack:
Yeah, and what does that make you?
Locke:
Me, well, I'm a man of faith. Do you really think all this... is an accident? That we, a group of strangers survived, many of us with just superficial injuries? Do you think we crashed on this place by coincidence, especially this place? We were brought here for a purpose, for a reason, all of us. Each one of us was brought here for a reason.
Jack:
Brought here? And who brought us here, John?
Locke:
The island. The island brought us here. This is no ordinary place, you've seen that, I know you have. But the island chose you, too, Jack. It's destiny.
Jack:
Did you talk with Boone about destiny, John?
Locke:
Boone was a sacrifice that the island demanded. What happened to him at that plane was a part of a chain of events that led us here that led us down a path, that led you and me to this day, to right now.
Jack:
And where does that path end, John?
Locke:
The path ends at the hatch. The hatch, Jack all of it. All of it happened so that we could open the hatch.
Jack:
No, no, we're opening the hatch so that we can survive.
Locke:
Survival is all relative, Jack.
Jack:
I don't believe in destiny.
Locke:
[pause] Yes, you do. You just don't know it yet.
