Ben Linus:
Are you thirsty?

John Locke:
This is the well I threw Desmond Hume into.

Ben Linus:
What's the matter?

John Locke:
I sent Sayid to kill Desmond. Obviously he didn't.

Ben Linus:
Looks like someone helped him out.

John Locke:
No Ben, someone helped me out.

Ben Linus:
What did Widmore say to you?

John Locke:
He said Desmond was a fail safe. Jacob's last resort in case God forbid, I managed to kill all of his beloved candidates. There's one final way to make sure I'll never leave this place.

Ben Linus:
Then why are you happy he's still alive?

John Locke:
Because I'm gonna find Desmond and when I do, he's gonna help me do the one thing that I could never do myself. I'm gonna destroy the island.
