Lost, Season 2

Richard Malkin:
I know why you're here, friend. But you can save yourself the trouble. What happened here was not a miracle.

Mr. Eko:
The doctor that treated your daughter seems to feel differently.

Richard Malkin:
Treated her? He tried to cut her open. He's just trying to cover up his own negligence. He tell you the whole story -- how she supposedly drowned? She fell into a mountain river, her body shut down; she went into hypothermia which made her appear dead.

Mr. Eko:
And why is your wife so convinced otherwise?

Richard Malkin:
Because she's a zealot. All of this -- everything she's doing -- is to spite me.

Mr. Eko:
Why would she spite you?

Richard Malkin:
Because she knows I'm a fraud. Because I make my living as a psychic. You see, that's what I do. I gather intelligence on people and I exploit it. Everyday I meet people looking for a miracle, desperate to find one. But there are none to be had. Not in this world, anyway.
