Lost, Season Three

Adam:
[On Stephen King's Carrie] It's not even literature, it's popcorn

Amelia:
And why isn't it literature, Adam, I'm dying to know?

Adam:
There's no metaphor. It's by-the-number religious hokem-pokem.

Amelia:
No metaphor?

Adam:
It's science fiction. Now I know why Ben isn't here.

Juliet:
Excuse me?

Adam:
I know the host picks the book but seriously, Julie, he wouldn't read this in the damn bathroom.

Juliet:
Well, Adam, I am the host and I do pick the book, and this is my favorite book. So I am absolutely thrilled that you can't stand it.

[Amelia grins]

Juliet:
Silly me for sinking so low as to select something that Ben wouldn't like. Here I am thinking that free will still actually exists on this...

[The room begins to shake violently]

Ben:
[Sees that Juliet holding the book, Carrie] So I guess I'm out of the book club.

Tom:
Hey, you got yourself a fish biscuit! How'd you do that?

Sawyer:
Figured out your complicated gizmos, thats how.

Tom:
It only took the bears two hours.

[Sawyer contemplates briefly]

Sawyer:
How many of 'em were there?

Ben:
[referring to the handcuffs on the table] Sorry, I'm going to have to ask you to put those on, Kate.

Kate:
And if I don't?

Ben:
Then you don't get any coffee.

Juliet:
What do you do, Jack? What's your profession?

Jack:
I'm a repo man. You know, when people don't pay their bills I go into the bank and collect their possessions. I'm a people person so I really love it.

Juliet:
Are you married?

Jack:
No. I never saw the point. What about you? What's your job, besides making sandwiches?

Juliet:
Oh, I didn't make it. I just put the toothpicks in.

Jack:
[screaming at the top of his lungs] TELL ME WHERE MY FRIENDS ARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ben:
Your flight crashed on September 22 2004. Today is November 29. That means you've been on our island for 69 days, and, yes, we do have contact with the outside world, Jack. That's how we know that, during those 69 days, your fellow Americans re-elected George W. Bush, Christopher Reeve has passed away. Boston Red Sox won the World Series.

[Jack starts to laugh]

Ben:
What?

Jack:
[still laughing] If you wanted me to believe this, you probably should've picked somebody else, besides the Red Sox.

Ben:
No, they were down, three games to none, against the Yankees in the league championship, and then they won eight straight.

Jack:
Sure, sure, of course they did.

[Ben turns on a video of Game 4 of the World Series, in the bottom of the ninth.]

Joe Buck:
...back to Foulke...Red Sox fans have longed to hear it! The Boston Red Sox are world champions! [Jack gets up, moves towards the glass screen, stops laughing and appears lost for words] The Red Sox celebrate in the middle of the diamond...

Ben:
[turns off video] That's home, Jack, right there, on the other side of that glass, and if you listen to me, you trust me, if you do what I tell you, when the time comes, I'll take you there. I will take you home.

Pickett:
Alright, here's the jig - see these rocks, here? That's where you two come in. [points to Kate] You're going to chop them loose. [points to Sawyer] And you're going to haul them out of here.

Kate:
You expect me to work in this dress?

Pickett:
Well, it's up to you? You can take it off if you want.

Sawyer:
[to Pickett, unconvincingly] How dare you?

Pickett:
If you need anything, you raise your hand. You get 10 minutes for lunch.

Sawyer:
I got a question, boss.

Pickett:
No questions.

Sawyer:
Are you having fun yet, Freckles?

Kate:
Quit staring at my ass.

Sawyer:
Give me something else to stare at.

Kate:
Why did she call you James?

Sawyer:
[sighs] 'Cus that's my name. Noticed somethin' else, too.

[pauses, grins]

Sawyer:
You taste like strawberries.

Kate:
You taste like fish biscuits.

Sun:
Why are you lying to me, Sayid?

Sayid:
And what would you know about lying, Sun?

Sun:
You're putting our lives in danger.

Sayid:
I'm fairly certain our friends have been captured. There are tracks all over the dock. They're fresh -- as recent as yesterday.

Sun:
You said this dock was abandoned.

Sayid:
That would be part of the lying you mentioned.

Sun:
If they get past you, that means my husband is dead. And I won't care anymore.

Sun:
Stop! Or I'll shoot!

Colleen:
No you won't, Sun. I know you, Sun-Hwa Kwon. And I know you're not a killer. But despite what you may think, I'm not the enemy. We are not the enemy. But if you shoot me, that's exactly what we'll become. [takes a step closer to Sun]

Sun:
Stop! I will- I'll shoot you. [Sun shoots Colleen in the stomach]

Charlie:
So, where are Eko and Desmond? Are they off being mute and building structures as well?

Charlie:
What the sodding hell is a sweat lodge?

Charlie:
You're not taking drugs are you, John? I only ask because of the strict zero tolerance policy you've enacted, and I wouldn't want you to have to start punching yourself in the face.

Charlie:
You are aware John, that I detest you, aren't you? You do remember repeatedly punching me in the face and accusing me of using heroin when I was not.

Charlie:
Hairspray? Now, I hate to be the one to point this out to you...

Locke:
[smiling] It's not for me.

Hurley:
Bear? Is that you? Who's there?

Desmond:
You alone, brother?

Hurley:
Uh, yeah.

Hurley:
[seeing that Desmond's naked] Whoa! Dude! I'm not alone.

Desmond:
Beach camp's right over there. Can you get me some clothes?

Hurley:
What happened to yours?

Desmond:
I woke up in the jungle like this.

Hurley:
So, like, the hatch blew off your underwear?

Desmond:
Fine, you want to discuss this in great detail right now? Let's do it.

Hurley:
No, no, that's okay. I've got something in here. How do you feel about tie-dye?

Boone:
[as Locke tries to call out to Jack, Kate and Sawyer] There's nothing you can do for them yet. First you have to clean up your own mess.

Boone:
[to Locke, after he sees Eko's Jesus stick drenched in blood] They've got him, John. You don't have much time.

Pickett:
Do you love this guy?!

Paulo:
You play golf?

Desmond:
I'm Scottish. Cheers.

Juliet:
I'm a fertility doctor. I'm not used to death.

Jack (after failing to save Colleen):
Time of death... (realizes that there is no clock) She's gone.

Sawyer:
Did you just kill that bunny?

Desmond:
You've got a problem with your roof.

Claire:
What?

Desmond:
Look, maybe you should move down the beach for the night so we can fix it.

Charlie:
Whatcha doing brotha?

Desmond:
I was just offering to fix this roof here.

Charlie:
Roof? It's fine. If there's a problem, I'll fix it. I'm quite handy. I was building a church before Eko . . . exploded.

Charlie:
(about Desmond) I don't know, we're going to have to get that guy another button to push.

Juliet:
It doesn't work that way over here Jack, we make decisions together.

Jack:
Really? Because when I was holding that broken plate to your neck, he seemed happy to just let you die. It seemed like he made that decision alone.

Ben:
God, I hate needles.

Ben:
(to the bunny) Hippity-hop, let's move it.

Ben:
(about the heartrate monitor) If and when it beeps, you're gonna wanna relax yourself. Do some deep breathing. Some yoga.

Ben:
Good morning. Let's go for a walk.

Sawyer:
What, don't you read? It's from Of Mice and Men. You'd like it. Puppies get killed.

Ben:
A guy goes nuts if he ain't got nobody. It don't make no difference who the guy is, as long as he's with ya. I tell ya, I tell ya a guy gets too lonely and he gets sick.

Sawyer:
What the hell are you talking about?

Ben:
It's from Of Mice and Men. Don't you read?

Nikki (from trailer):
What is that?

Eko:
Yes, I am ready. I ask for no forgiveness, Father, for I have not sinned. I have only done what I needed to do to survive. A small boy once asked me if I was a bad man. If I could answer him now, I would tell him that when I was a young boy, I killed a man to save my brother's life. I am not sorry for this. I am proud of this. I did not ask for the life I was given, but it was given nonetheless, and with it, I did my best.

Yemi:
You speak to me as if I was your brother.

Ben:
Do you believe in God?

Jack:
Do you?

Ben:
Two days after I found out that I had a fatal tumor on my spine, a spinal surgeon fell out of the sky. If that's not proof of God I don't know what is.

Locke:
Eko, what is it?

[Eko dies]

Sayid:
What did he just say, John?

Locke:
He said--'We're next.'

Kevin:
Police, open the door.

Kate:
[as 'Monica'] Uh. Everything's alright in here.

Kevin:
Ma'am, we have reason to believe someone could be dangerous could be in the motel. We've been conducting room-to-room service.

Kate:
[as 'Monica] I'm alone, officer.

Kevin:
Someone could be holding you at gunpoint, forcing you to say that. Please open the door.

Kate:
[as 'Monica] I don't think I should.

Kevin:
Ma'am, you have three seconds before I break this door down. 1.. 2..

[Kate opens door.]

Kevin:
Wanna get it on?

Jack:
[After explaining what the surgery for Ben's cancer will entail] You need to be in surgery yesterday.

Ben:
Alright then, whatever you need, it's yours. I'm ready.

Jack:
No, I think you misunderstood me. I didn't say I was gonna do it. I just wanted you to understand how you're gonna die.[Ben and Juliet are astonished] You think I believe you people? You think I trust you? You think I'm just going to do the surgery and then I'm just gonna hope that you let me go?!

Juliet:
Jack!

Jack:
NO, DON'T!

Ben:
Well Jack, I'm very disappointed in your decision.

Jack:
Well Ben, at least you won't have to be disappointed for very long.

[Something goes wrong during surgery]

Other:
His blood pressure's dropping. He shouldn't be bleeding like that.

Jack:
No, he shouldn't. [Punches out the Other]

Kate:
I can't leave without you!

Jack:
Yes, you can! Go!

Kate:
Jack, I can't!

Jack:
Go! Now!

Kate:
Jack, I can't!

Jack:
Kate, Dammit, RUN!

[Episode ends]

Edmund Burke:
[on mobile phone] Because you're insufferable. And you're mean. Well, you asked me for the truth, Mom.

Jack:
Tell me

Kate:
Tell you?

Jack:
The first day on the beach, the day of the crash, the story that I told you. If you're safe, tell me.

Tom:
Do you think this is the best time?

Jack:
Shut up!

Kate:
You were doing surgery on a girl, and you messed up. You made a mistake. You tore something on her back, and all the nerves came loose. And you said the fear was so... real. And you didn't know what to do. So you counted to five.. [Kate starts to cry] And then you weren't afraid anymore. And then it was just gone. And you fixed her, you saved her.

Jack:
(after a pause) I need you to make me a promise, Kate.

Kate:
Jack-

Jack:
Promise me that you'll never come back here for me. Don't come back, Kate.

[Ben wakes up mid-surgery]

Tom:
Ben's awake...

Juliet:
How?

Tom:
Shephard said he's a spinal surgeon, not an anesthesiologist.

Jack:
What are you DOING HERE!!!!!!

[Charlie and Hurley are ransacking Sawyer's stash]

Hurley:
Dude, I don't know about this.

Charlie:
See, you're looking at this all wrong. He would want us to do this.

Hurley:
He'd want us to ransack his tent and take his stash? Yeah, that sounds exactly like Sawyer.

Charlie:
Well, he stole all this in the first place. I mean, people need food, they need medical supplies, they need... [Finds adult magazines] ...shocking amounts of pornography.

[Desmond has just saved Claire from drowning]

Charlie:
How did you know? How did you know she was drowning?

Hurley:
I'll tell you how he knew. That guy...sees the future, dude.

Ms. Hawking:
This is wrong. You don't buy the ring. You have second thoughts; you walk right out that door. So, come on, let's have it.

Desmond:
I don't know what you're on about.

Ms. Hawking:
You don't buy the ring, Desmond.

Desmond:
How do you know my name?

Ms. Hawking:
Well, I know your name as well as I know that you that don't ask Penny to marry you. In fact, you break her heart. Well, breaking her heart is, of course, what drives you in a few short years from now to enter that sailing race, to prove her father wrong, which brings you to the island where you spend the next 3 years of your life entering numbers into the computer until you are forced to turn that failsafe key. And if you don't do those things, Desmond David Hume, every single one of us is dead. So give me that sodding ring!

Isabelle:
[about Jack's tattoo] He walks amongst us, but he is not one of us. That's what they say.

Jack:
That's what they say. It's not what they mean.

Juliet:
I hear you only liked them grilled.

Jack [Smiles]:
I missed the toothpicks too.

[Juliet gives him the sandwich]

Jack:
Let me see.

Juliet:
Jack...

Jack:
They marked you? Let me see.

[Juliet shows him her mark]

Jack:
If you would break off that aloe plant there...

Juliet:
It's ok, Jack.

Jack:
Please, please do it.

[Juliet breaks off a piece, and Jack puts it on her back, their hands almost touching]

Juliet:
Why did you help me?

Jack:
He told you that you could leave the island. He told me the same thing. We're going to make sure he keeps his promise.

Juliet:
We're? How are we going to do that?

Jack:
Together.

Charlie:
So, when's it going to happen?

Desmond:
When's what going to happen?

Charlie:
Don't play stupid with me, brother.

Desmond:
I was drunk. If I said anything...

Charlie:
I have a right to know when I'm gonna die.

Desmond:
It doesn't work like that.

Sawyer:
Hey, Oliver Twist! Where the hell is my stuff?

Charlie:
What stuff?

Sawyer:
You know good and damn well what stuff. I had books, food, porno, bottle of scotch...

Desmond:
Apologies for the scotch, mate.

Hurley:
Dude, that beer's been sitting there since before Rocky 3. Maybe even 2. It's probably poisoned by now.

Sawyer:
[Indicates Roger's corpse] Skeletor seems to like it.

[Sawyer is helping Jin practice speaking English]

Sawyer:
I'm sorry.

Jin:
I'm sorry.

Sawyer:
Okay, nice. Keep it coming.

Jin:
Uh, you were right.

Sawyer:
Okay. That's two. Hit me.

Jin:
Those pants don't make you look fat.

Sawyer:
Now you got it. Only three things a woman needs to hear.

Sayid:
Kate, if you were looking for help to find Jack, why didn't you ask us?

Kate:
Two reasons: you don't know where to look and you're not motivated. And I don't blame you. Why would you want to go on another trek across the island, risk more lives just to get Jack back?

Locke:
You're wrong.

Kate:
Oh, really? They why didn't you come after-

Locke:
Not about the motivation, just about knowing where to look. We got a compass bearing, and I'm pretty sure if we follow it, it'll lead us right to 'em.

Kate:
How?

Sayid:
Because of the way the sunlight hit Mr. Eko's stick when John was burying him.

Sawyer:
What's your problem, Jumbotron?

Hurley:
Shut up... Red... Neck... Man!

Sawyer:
[amused] Touché.

[Kate and Sayid are inside the Flame station with Mikhail, who claims to be a member of the DHARMA Initiative; Mikhail is sewing Sayid's bullet injury and the cat is scratching the carpet]

Mikhail:
Будьте вежливы, они - мои гости, Надия.

Sayid:
What did you just say?

Mikhail:
I told Nadia to be polite, because you are my guests.

Sayid:
Nadia?

Mikhail:
After Nadia Comaneci. The greatest athlete the world has even known. We have the same birth date. [...mumbling] Now, excellent work if I say so myself.

Sayid:
Thank you, Mikhail.

Mikhail:
Perhaps, you can give me your forgiveness if I offer you some ice tea. I will also check on your friend.

[...]

Sayid:
What's wrong?

Kate:
Doesn't make any sense. Why would they let him stay here, with all this stuff, all this equipment?

Sayid:
Actually, it makes perfect sense.

Kate:
What are you talking about?

Sayid:
The reason they let him stay here is because he is not DHARMA. He is one of them.

Kate:
He shot you and you just let him-why are we still sitting here?

Sayid:
We are sitting here, Kate, because I am certain he is not alone.

[Kate, Sayid, and Locke are holding Mikhail prisoner]

Locke:
Remind me why we're keeping him alive.

Sayid:
What do you suggest? That we shoot him like a dog?

Locke:
No. I like dogs.

Locke:
The Man from Tallahassee? What is that some kind of code?

Ben:
No John, unfortunately we don't have a code for "there is a man in my closet holding a gun to my daughter's head". Although we obviously should.

Ben:
Would you mind helping me get into my chair. No tricks, I promise. I just want some dignity. You of all people should understand what means to want some dignity. Thank you. So tell me John, how do you plan on piloting our submarine. Its a complicated piece of machinery. You just don't press submerge.

Locke:
I'll figure something out. For all you know I was a commander in the Navy. Put your arm around my neck and I'll lift under your knees.

Ben:
What's in the pack, John? If you met Mikail that means you were at the communications station, which means you found the explosives. So you're not planning on piloting the submarine anywhere, you're planning to destroy it. I know you, John Locke.

Locke:
You don't know me at all.

Ben:
I know you were born in California. I know that you were raised in foster care. I know that you wasted a big part of your life in Tustin, pushing papers at a place that manufactures industrial boxes. I know that you spent the four years prior to arriving on this island in a wheelchair, and I know how you ended up in it.

Jack:
[To Kate] I will come back here for you.

Locke:
Where do you get electricity?

Ben:
We have two big hamsters running around in this giant wheel in our secret underground lair.

Locke:
Yeah, that's funny.

Ben:
I know you think you need to do this John, but if you blow up my submarine, I'll have a big problem with my people.

Locke:
Is that supposed to be an incentive not to blow it up?

Ben:
I was born on this island; not many of my people can say that. Most of them were recruited and brought here, and as much as they love this place, as much as they would do anything to defend it, they need to know that they can leave if they want to. The sub maintains that illusion.

Locke:
So you're lying to them?

Ben:
No... they're here because they want to be here. Some of them are just not ready to make a full commitment yet. But you John, you've already made that commitment. And now you have a choice, because if you stop and think, I can show you things. things I know that you want to see very badly. Let me put it so you'll understand: picture a box. You know something about boxes, don't you John? What if I told you that somewhere on this island there is a very large box and whatever you imagined, whatever you wanted to be in it, when you open that box, there it would be. What would you say about that John?

Locke:
I'd say that I hope that box is big enough for you to imagine up a new submarine.

Ben:
Why are you so angry John?

Locke:
Because you're cheating. You communicate with the outside world whenever you want to, you come and go as you please, you use electricity and running water and guns. You're a hypocrite. You don't deserve to be on this island. If you had any idea what this place was you wouldn't be putting chicken in your refrigerator.

Ben:
You have been on this island for 80 days, John. I have been here my entire life. So what makes you think you know this island better than I do?

Locke:
Because you're in the wheelchair, and I'm not.

Anthony Cooper:
I'm a con man, not a murderer.

[Nikki's character Corvette in the TV show Exposé has been shot]

Howard Zukerman:
Brilliant, Nikki. As always. You know you don't need to die, we can bring you back next season.

Nikki:
How?

Zukerman:
She didn't necessarily die. We could say she was wearing a bullet-proof vest.

[Nikki briefly opens her gown, revealing her character's skimpy costume]

Zukerman:
Or bullet-proof breast...

Nikki:
I'm just a guest star, and we all know what happens to guest stars.

Nikki:
Razzle Dazzle!

Charlie:
Sun? It was me.

Sun:
What?

Charlie:
It was me who took you. Not the Others. I wasn't myself, after Locke hit me. After he humiliated me. Sawyer told me I could get even by helping him steal the guns. We just made it look like the Others. I didn't mean to hurt you.

[Sun walks away]

Charlie:
I'm sorry....

[Sawyer is digging Nikki and Paulo's grave when Sun is walking towards him]

Sun:
Charlie told me it was your idea to kidnap me.

Sawyer:
You're gonna tell Jin?

Sun:
No.

Sawyer:
Why not?

Sun:
Because then we have to dig another grave.

[Sun puts the diamonds in Sawyer's hands]

Sawyer:
Why are you giving me these?

Sun:
Because they are worthless here.

Sawyer:
See. And I thought I was gonna get out of this....

[He stops when Sun punches him in the face and walks away]

Sawyer:
All right, let's do it.

Hurley:
Do what?

Sawyer:
I'm ready to do it. Make amends, change the vote. I don't want to be banished, okay?

Hurley:
Dude, you stink. What is that, fish? Did you try to gut one yourself? How did you not learn that by now? I mean, we've been here like, three months.

Sawyer:
Could we just do this?

Hurley:
Do what?

Sawyer:
Make nice.

Hurley:
Apologize for calling me all those names.

Sawyer:
I'm really sorry I called you rotund.

Hurley:
Really?

Sawyer:
You're worse than a girl!

[Sawyer has just realized that Hurley has tricked him into being nice by telling him the survivors were voting to banish him]

Sawyer:
You son of a bitch. There wasn't ever going to be no vote.

Hurley:
Wasn't it nice, being nice?

Sawyer:
You tricked me into being decent? That's gotta be the lamest con in the history of cons!

Hurley:
Wasn't a con, dude. If you're going to be our temporary leader you need to do some damage control.

Sawyer:
Leader? What the hell are you smoking?

Hurley:
Jack's gone, Locke's gone, Kate and Sayid...you're all we got. Paulo and Nikki died. We all look to you. Then again, you tried to steal their diamonds, but we wanted to look to you. Look around. You made everyone happy. Just for today, they can eat boar, laugh, and forget that they're totally screwed. And you did that for 'em, dude. You.

Sawyer:
What if I don't want to be the leader?

Hurley:
Yeah, well, I don't think Jack wanted it either. Sucks for you, dude.

[Kate has just dislocated Juliet's shoulder during a fight, and both are now hiding from the smoke monster]

Juliet:
Do you think it's gone? Are we safe?

Kate:
Are you serious? You've never seen that?

Juliet:
What, you don't believe me? You can always pull my other shoulder out of its socket.

Kate:
I wasn't trying-

Juliet:
Don't flatter yourself. This is the fourth time it's been dislocated... Give me your hand.

Kate:
Why?

Juliet:
'Cause I want you to pop it back in.

Kate:
No, I'm not gonna-

Juliet:
You're gonna. Right now, it feels like there's broken glass under my skin. And if it weren't for you, I would be on my way home right now.

Kate:
Jack told me not to come back to protect me! Because he didn't want me to get hurt!

Juliet:
Is that what you think?

Kate:
Yeah, that's what I think!

Juliet:
We have cameras on the cages, Kate. All of them. He saw you. You and Sawyer. The reason Jack told you not to come back wasn't because he didn't want you to get hurt. It was because you broke his heart. So. Grab my wrist. Push up. And twist!

[Sawyer sees Hurley and Jin outside of a tent]

Sawyer:
What the hell are y'all doing?

Hurley:
What the hell are you doing?

Sawyer:
Goin' to take a leak.

Hurley:
...Yeah well, so were we.

Sawyer:
...Well, alrighty then.

[Ben leads Locke to where Anthony Cooper, his father, is tied up. The Others looks on]

Ben:
[Hands Locke a knife] I know it won't be easy. But the quicker the better.

Cooper:
[After Ben ungags him] You're kidding me, right? You expect him to kill me?

Ben:
John, the hesitation you're feeling is just the part of you that still feels that he has a perfectly good explanation for stealing your kidney. Throwing you out of an eight-story window. Don't you wanna be free from him?

Cooper:
The hesitation he's feeling is because he is a spineless--

Locke:
[Growing anxious] Shut up! I, I've gotta think...

Ben:
Don't think, John.

Cooper:
You're wasting your time, bug-eye. Me and him have been through all of this. All he wants is his daddy.

Locke:
Shut up! I SAID SHUT UP!

Ben:
Let go of him, John.

Locke:
Why are you doing this to me?

Ben:
You're doing this to yourself. As long as he's still breathing, you will still be that same sad, pathetic little man who was kicked off of his walkabout tour because you couldn't walk!

[Flaring with anger, Locke presses his knife to Cooper's throat. Just as he is about to kill him, he turns away, humiliated]

Cooper:
[Mocking] I'll be here the rest of the week, John, if you change your mind.

[Ben spins and hits Cooper across the face with his cane, knocking him out. He then takes Locke's knife away and addresses The Others]

Ben:
I'm sorry. He's not who we thought he was.

Cooper:
Guess I didn't raise no dummies.

Sawyer:
The hell's that mean?

Cooper:
It means that bald headed bastard outside the door is my son.

Sawyer:
Come again?

Cooper:
My son. As in I'm his father. You do speak English?

Sawyer:
How did you get here, to the Island?

Cooper:
Island? OK. I'm driving down I10 through Tallahassee when bam, somebody slams into the back of my car. I go right into the divider at seventy miles an hour, the next thing I know, the paramedics are strapping me to a gurney, stuffing me into the back of an ambulance and one of them actually smiles at me as he pops the IV in my arm. And then, nothing. Just, black. And the next thing I know I wake up in a dark room tied up, gag in my mouth, and when the door opens, I'm looking up at the same man I threw out a window, John Locke. My dead son.

Sawyer:
And he's dead cause you threw him out a window?

Cooper:
No he survived that. But it paralysed him, permanently. He's dead because the plane he was flying on crashed in the Pacific.

Sawyer:
Well I got bad news for ya pops, cause I was on that plane with your son. He sure as hell wasn't crippled. And we didn't crash in the Pacific, we crashed here on this Island.

Cooper:
You sure its an Island?

Sawyer:
Well what else is it?

Cooper:
Little hot for heaven isn't it?

Sawyer:
[Sarcastically] Oh OK, so we're dead?

Cooper:
They found your plane on the bottom of the ocean. One minute I'm in a car wreck and the next minute I'm in a pirate ship in the middle of the jungle. If this isn't hell friend, then where are we?

Sawyer:
Why did you throw Locke out a window?

Cooper:
He was becoming a nuisance. I conned him into giving me one of his kidneys. He never got over it.

Sawyer:
[Pauses] Conned?

Cooper:
Yes sir, conned.

Sawyer:
What's your name?

Cooper:
Hmm?

Sawyer:
Your name.

Cooper:
A conman goes by many names friend. I've been Alan Seward, Anthony Cooper, Ted MacLaren, Tom Sawyer, Louis Jackson, and Paul...

Sawyer:
Tom Sawyer.

Cooper:
I was young and Huck Finn was taken. And the ladies loved that one. Made me charming.

Sawyer:
Well how about that.

Cooper:
How about what?

Sawyer:
Sawyer's my name too

Cooper:
What's the matter with you?

Sawyer:
You ever been to Jasper, Alabama?

Cooper:
Why?

Sawyer:
Have you or haven't you?

Cooper:
Yeah I been to Jasper. Don't tell me I'm your daddy?

Sawyer:
No. You killed my daddy.

[Sawyer gets his letter out of his pocket - the one to Mr. Sawyer]

Sawyer:
Read it.

Cooper:
"Dear Mr Sawyer". What is this?

Sawyer:
Just read it.

Cooper:
"You don't know who I am, but I know who you are. And I know what you done. You had sex with my mother, and then you stole my dad's money all away, so he got angry and he killed my mother, and then he killed himself" blah blah blah blah. So what? Is this supposed to be you, you wrote this letter? Hey wait a second. Did you take my name because you were on some kind of revenge kick?

Sawyer:
Keep reading.

Cooper:
Easy, easy, don't get all worked up. Look, I ran that con two dozen times. If your mother was one of the...

Sawyer:
Mary. Her name was Mary.

Cooper:
Mary from Jasper, Alabama. Yeah, I remember her. She practically begged me to take her thirty-eight thousand dollars and to rescue her from her sorry little life.

Sawyer:
You finish the letter.

Cooper:
Look, I only took her money. It ain't my fault your dad overreacted. If he pulled the old murder suicide then I'm sure he's down here somewhere. Er, maybe you could take this up with him...

Sawyer:
FINISH IT!!!

Cooper:
OK. OK.

[He rips up the letter into pieces, and Sawyer attacks him, choking him with the chains hanging from the ceiling]

Sawyer:
You wanna go to hell? You wanna go to hell!!

[Cooper chokes and Sawyer keeps pulling until he stops moving and kills him. He then releases him and his body falls to the ground.]

Ben:
We're here. You'll want to turn off your flashlight, John.

Locke:
Why?

Ben:
Jacob feels the same way about technology as you do. Once I open this door, there's no turning back. Are you sure this is what you want? So be it. Jacob, I'm here with John Locke. We're coming in now. Jacob, this is John. Don't you going to say hello, John?

Locke:
What?

Ben:
I told you he wouldn't.

Locke:
Who? What are you talking about?

Ben:
You can't see him?

Locke:
See who?

Ben:
Jacob. He's sitting right here in this chair. Yes, I know, but he insisted.

Locke:
What is this?

Ben:
You wanted the secrets of the island, well here they are. This is the man who can answer every single... I am not! He made me bring him here! Did you think that that was my... Sir, may I finish?!

Locke:
You're crazy.

Ben:
Excuse me?

Locke:
You don't know anything about the island, do you? You just made it all up.

Ben:
Jacob, please, I can't hear him if you're going to talk...

Locke:
Stop... Stop... Shut up! You're putting on a show for me! Or, do you... Do you really think there is someone there?

Ben:
I know there is someone there.

Locke:
You don't know anything.

Ben:
I'm sorry you feel that way, John. And I'm sorry that you're too limited to see.

Locke:
You're pathetic.

Jacob:
Help me.

Locke:
What did you just say?

Ben:
I didn't say anything.

Locke:
Oh yes you did. I heard you. You said...

Ben:
That's enough, you've had your fun!

Locke:
What was that?

Ben:
That was Jacob.

Ben:
What did you hear in there, John? What did Jacob say to you?

Locke:
He didn't say anything to me. You did.

Ben:
What are you talking about?

Locke:
There is no Jacob, Ben. I'm not going to be taken in by the little show you put on last night. You're a fraud. And it's time your people were told the truth. And this is not the way we came!

Ben:
I'm taking us back another way. I wanted to show you something first.

Locke:
I've seen enough.

Ben:
You know, John, you're not wrong. Some of the things I've told you, some of the things I've told everyone, are not true.

Locke:
Like what?

Ben:
Well, for starters, I wasn't born on this island.

Locke:
Then where did you come from?

Ben:
That's what I want to show you.

Ben:
This is where I came from, John. These are my people. The DHARMA Initiative. They came here seeking harmony, but they couldn't even coexist with the Island's original inhabitants. And when it became clear that one side had to go, one side had to be purged, I did what I had to do. I was one of the people that was smart enough to make sure that I didn't end up in that ditch, which makes me considerably smarter than you, John.

[Ben shoots Locke and he falls in the mass grave]

Ben:
What did Jacob say to you?

Locke:
Why did you do this?

Ben:
Because you heard him. Now I need to know what he said.

Locke:
"Help me."

Ben:
John, I'm not going to ask you again! What did he say to you?

Locke:
He said... "help me."

[Ben looks troubled, and flinches for a moment]

Ben:
Well I certainly hope he helps you, John.

Charlie:
Anyone want to venture a guess as to what Jack is going to be showing us out in the middle of nowhere?

Hurley:
I don't know… stuff-probably secret stuff.

Charlie:
Why does everything have to be such a secret? How about some openness for a change?

Hurley:
We kept the parachute lady secret.

Charlie:
Ah, that's different.

Claire:
Different, how?

Charlie:
Well, because we weren't out there playing football with them.

Jack:
When Juliet told me they were coming, the first thing I thought was: where the hell are we going to hide this time? But hiding's pointless; they're just going to keep coming back, so I went out and I found some help. And for the past few days, she's been bringing dynamite back from the Black Rock. For the very first time, we know exactly what they want, when they're coming to get it and they have no idea. We're going to be waiting for them. So Juliet's going to mark the tents with the white rocks just like she was told to, but there's not going to be any pregnant women inside; there's going to be plenty of what we just used on that tree. So tomorrow night, we stop hiding, we stop running, we stop living in fear of them, because when they show up, we're going to blow them all to hell.

Sawyer:
What the hell are you doing here, Karl?

Karl:
They're… coming… my people…

Sawyer:
Sorry you came all this way for nothing, but we already know.

Karl:
Then why are you still here?

Sawyer:
'Cause when your people show up here tomorrow night, we're going to be ready for 'em.

Karl:
Tomorrow? No. No, they're coming tonight. They're coming right now!

Desmond:
I'm sorry, brother, but this time - this time you have to die

Jack:
Better get going. Rousseau said it's about a day's walk up to the radio tower.

Sayid:
I'm not taking them up to the tower-you are.

Jack:
Excuse me?

Sayid:
You're not staying behind.

Jack:
This was my idea.

Sayid:
And I'm perfectly capable of executing it.

Jack:
I owe them!

Sayid:
What are you more concerned about: killing the Others or getting our people off this island? This afternoon you said you were our leader. It's time for you to act like one. Lead them to the radio tower, Jack and then take us all home.

Sayid:
Hey.

Jack:
Hey.

Kate:
So here we go again, huh?

Jack:
[Laughs.] Here we go again.

[Charlie's "greatest hits" written on a sheet of paper]:

5. The first time I heard myself on the radio.

4. Dad teaching me to swim at Butlins.

3. The Christmas Liam gave me the ring.

2. Woman outside Covent Garden calls me a hero.

1. The night I met you [Claire].

Desmond:
We're here.

Charlie:
I want you to give this to Claire for me.

Desmond:
What is it?

Charlie:
It's the five best moments of my sorry excuse for a life, my greatest hits. You know, memories are all I've got.

Charlie:
What about your girl? Penny?

Desmond:
What about your girl?

Bonnie:
[on radio, to Ben] One of them is here.

Ben:
Which one?

Bonnie:
I don't know. he won't say.

Charlie:
It's Charlie! Tell him I said hi!

Charlie:
(written on his hand) NOT PENNY´S BOAT

Charlie:
So much for fate.

Hurley:
Attention Others. Come in Others. If you're listening to this, I want you to know that we got you bastards. And unless the rest of you wanna be blown up you best stay away from our beach...

[Bernard is preparing to ambush the Others]

Rose:
If I told you that I'd help you with your SOS sign, would you change your mind?

Bernard:
No ma'am.

Rose:
Then I want you to say it again.

Bernard:
Rose...

Rose:
Say it, Bernard.

Bernard:
I am a dentist, I am not Rambo.

Rose:
If you say "live together, die alone" to me, Jack, I'll punch you in the face.

Walt:
John, you have work to do.

Jack:
Sawyer, it's a suicide mission without guns.

Juliet:
I know where there are some guns. Ethan left a stash near the beach.

Jack:
Juliet, you don't have to do that.

Juliet:
Yeah, Jack, I kinda do.

Sawyer:
Let's do this.

Jack:
Don't do anything stupid.

Juliet:
I won't if you won't.

[They kiss]

Jack:
Why don't you get my father down here? If I'm drunker than he is, then you can fire me!

Ben:
Not so long ago, Jack, I made a decision that took the lives of over forty people in a single day. I'm telling you this because history is about to repeat itself, right here, right now.

Jack:
Let me guess you've got us surrounded and if I don't do what you say you're gonna, you're gonna kill all of my people?

Ben:
No, Jack, you are.

Jack:
[Laughs] And how am I going do that, Ben?

Ben:
The woman you've been traveling with. The one who parachuted onto the island from that helicopter. She's not who she says she is.

Jack:
She's not, huh?

Ben:
No she's not.

Jack:
Then who is she?

Ben:
She's a representative of some people who've been trying to find this island, Jack. She's one of the bad guys.

Jack:
Oh, I almost forgot, you're the, you're the good guys.

Ben:
Jack listen to me. If you phone her boat, every single living person on this island will be killed. So here's what has to happen. Get that device, that phone she carries with her, and give it to me. I will turn around, we'll walk back to my people, you will turn around and walk back to your people.

Jack:
I'm not going anywhere.

[Jack and Ben both stand up at the same time, staring each other down]

Ben:
May I have my walkie talkie back?

Jack:
What?

Ben:
There's something you need to hear. Please?

[Jack gives it to him]

Ben:
Tom are you there?

Tom:
Yes I'm here.

Ben:
[To Jack] Your plan killed seven of my people, but the ones you failed to kill are now holding your friends: Jin, Sayid, Bernard, at gunpoint.

Sayid:
Jack, don't give him anything.

[Ryan hits Sayid]

Bernard:
Leave him alone!

Ryan:
I said shut up!

Jack:
And what's to stop me from snapping your neck?

Ben:
Tom unless you hear my voice in one minute, shoot all three of them.

Tom:
Got it.

Ryan:
I said don't move.

Ben:
Bring me the phone, Jack.

Sayid:
Don't negotiate with him-

Ben:
Forty Five seconds.

Jack:
No. I'm getting them all of the island. All of them!

Ben:
Let me ask you something, Jack. Why do you wanna leave the Island? What is it that you so desperately want to get back to? You have no one. Your father's dead, your wife left you, moved on with another man. Can you just not wait to get back to the hospital? Get back to fixing things? It's twenty seconds now. Just get me the phone, Jack.

Jack:
No.

Ben:
Ten seconds. Bring me the phone.

Jack:
No.

Ben:
I'm not bluffing!

Jack:
I WON'T DO IT!

Ben:
Five. Four. Three.

Jack:
No.

[Three shots are heard over the walkie talkie, Jack cringes with anguish]

Ben:
I'm so sorry, Jack.

[Furious, Jack tackles Ben to the ground and beats him half to death. He then takes the walkie talkie]

Jack:
Tom are you there?

Tom:
Yeah, Jack, I hear ya.

Jack:
I'm going to lead my people up to the radio tower. And I'm going to make a call and get them all rescued. Every one of them. And then I'm gonna come find you. And I'm gonna kill ya.

Kate:
What happened? What'd he say?

Jack:
It's not important right now. Just, get everything together...

Kate:
Jack, your knuckles. Here

[Kate begins cleaning his bruised knuckles]

Kate:
What happened?

Jack:
He killed them. Bernard, Jin, Sayid, all three of them. He radioed the beach. And I let it happen. We can't tell Rose. Or Sun, not yet. We gotta keep moving, I promised Sayid that we would keep moving.

Kate:
So why did you bring him back? Why didn't you just kill him?

Jack:
Because I want him to see it. I want him to experience the moment that we get off this island, and I want him to know he failed. Then I'll kill him.

Ben:
Alex... this is your mother.

Kate:
Why are you sticking up for Saywer? He'd never do it for you.

Jack:
Because I love you.

Ben:
Jack, I know you think you're saving your people, but you need to stop this.. It's a mistake.

Jack:
Listening to you was the mistake.

Ben:
This will be your last chance Jack. I'm telling you, making that call is the beginning of the end.

[Locke has just killed Naomi]

Jack:
JOHN!

Locke:
[Aims his gun at Jack] Step back, Jack.

Jack:
What did you do?

Locke:
What I had to. Now step back.

[The phone rings, Jack and Locke look at it]

Locke:
Stay away from the phone.

[Jack runs and grabs the phone as Locke tries to shoot it]

Jack:
What are you doing, John?

Locke:
I don't wanna shoot you.

Ben:
Do it, John! Shoot him! Do what you need to do-

[Ben is silenced as Rousseau knocks him out]

Locke:
Please. Put the phone down.

Jack:
No. You're done keeping me on this island.

Locke:
[Thumbs back the hammer] I will kill you if I have to.

Jack:
Then do it.

Kate:
Jack!

[Locke hesitates then lowers the gun]

Locke:
[Sadly] Jack, you're not supposed to do this.

[Locke leaves as Jack answers the phone]

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!

[A plane takes off behind Jack as the episode ends]
