Lost, Season Three

Kate:
Hey.

Jack:
Hey.

Kate:
[after a pause] Saw you on the news. Still pulling people out of burning wreckage, huh.

Jack:
Old habits.

Kate:
You look terrible.

Jack:
[laughs] Thanks.

Kate:
Why'd you call me, Jack?

Jack:
[displaying the as-yet unknown obituary] I was hoping that you heard... that you would go to the funeral.

Kate:
...Why would I go to the funeral?

Jack:
[after a long pause] Been flying a lot.

Kate:
What?

Jack:
That golden pass they gave us? Been using it. Every Friday night I fly from L.A. to Tokyo... or Singapore... or Sydney. I get off... have a drink... fly home.

Kate:
...why?

Jack:
Because I want it to crash, Kate. I don't care about anyone else on board. Every little bump we hit, turbulence... I actually close my eyes, and I pray... I pray that I can go back.

Kate:
This is not going to change...

Jack:
No, I'm sick of lying. We made a mistake.

Kate:
I have to go. He's going to be wondering where I am.

Jack:
We were not supposed to leave.

Kate:
Yes, we were. [she begins to leave and get in the car]

Jack:
We have to go back, Kate. [the car pulls away] We have to go back!
