Lost, Season Five

[Jack and Ben, in the 316 Ajira flight]

Jack:
[Nervous] How can you read?

Ben:
[Keeps reading] My mother taught me. [Pretty funny smile] I can read, Jack, because it beats what you are doing.

Jack:
What's that?

Ben:
Waiting for something to happen.

Jack:
And what is gonna happen?

Ben:
You tell me, Jack, you're the one that got to stay after school with Ms. Hawking.

Jack:
Did you know that Locke killed himself?

Ben:
No. No, I didn't.

Jack:
[Takes out the suicide note Locke left for him] They found this stuffed in his pocket... and I've been trying to get rid of it but it's like it's... following me. I know it sounds crazy but... it feels like John needs me to read it.

Ben:
Why don't you then? Is it because you're afraid?

Jack:
Afraid of what?

Ben:
Afraid that he blames you, that it's your fault he killed himself.

Jack:
Was it my fault?

Ben:
No, Jack, it wasn't your fault. Let me give you some privacy.

[Ben changes his seat, and Jack reads the note:
"Jack, I wish you had believed me. JL"]

[Turbulences and a flash like those from the Island start]
