Jack:
What the hell was all that about back there, John?
Locke:
What was what about?
Jack:
You asked me to let you go.
Locke:
That's right.
Jack:
That thing was taking you down the hole and you asked me to let you go.
Locke:
It wasn't going to hurt me.
Jack:
No, John, it was going to kill you.
Locke:
I seriously doubt that.
Jack:
Look, I need for you -- I need for you to explain to me what the hell's going on inside your head, John. I need to know why you believe that that thing wasn't going to...
Locke:
I believe that I was being tested.
Jack:
Tested?
Locke:
Yeah, tested.
Jack:
I think...
Locke:
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:
Yes, you do. You just don't know it yet.
