Locke: [explaining why he wanted to let the island monster drag him off] I believe that I was being tested.
Jack: Tested?
Locke: Yeah, tested. I think... 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: [pause] Yes, you do. You just don't know it yet.
Charlie: [to Eko, who is touching a rotting corpse] What do you think you're doing?
[Eko doesn't reply]
Charlie: You know this guy?
Mr. Eko: This man... saved my life.
Sawyer: [to Jin] It's Lord of the Flies time.
Hurley: I *do* exercise.
Carmen Reyes: Falling down is not exercise.
Hurley: [Jack is concerned about Hurley showing Rose the bunker] She's cool, she won't tell anyone.
Rose: Honey, I don't even know what I would say.
Locke: Yeah, Jack, I've been running through the jungle toward the sound of gunfire because I don't care about Michael.
Locke: [to Sawyer, using his birth name] See ya, James.
Sayid: This music is quite depressing.
Sawyer: You and me ain't done, Zeke.
Hurley: [about Arzt's first name] Dude, Leslie's a bitchin' name.
Hurley: Dude, you've got some Artz on you.
Jack: Sorry, man, I know this hurts. Michael told me you pulled the bullet out with your bare hands. You'll have to show me how to do that sometime.
Sawyer: [whispering] Where is she?
Jack: What? I didn't...
Sawyer: [whispering] Where is she?
Jack: You mean Kate. She's been watching over you for the past 24 hours straight. The only way I could get rid of her was to send her out to get some food for you.
Sawyer: [whispering] I love her. I love her.
Sawyer: What'd she do to you?
Jack: What?
Sawyer: Kate, what'd she do?
Jack: She didn't do anything.
Sawyer: Right, you're yelling at her because she wanted to help get Mike back makes a lot of sense.
Jack: Why don't you go back and see if I hurt her feelings?
Sawyer: I'm just saying.
Jack: Yeah, I know, you love her.
Sawyer: What'd you say?
Shannon: So, does all this - the tent, flowers - mean that we're serious?
Sayid: Quite definitely not. I do this for all the girls I meet on deserted islands.
Claire: You know, I think everybody knows more about my baby than me.
Locke: Everybody?
Claire: Charlie read me the riot act last night for waking him. And as mad as it made me - turns out he was right. You know, it's like we're playing mum and dad to this baby. Yet, I don't remember marrying him.
[Locke laughs]
Claire: No, seriously. I mean, we're practically strangers, him and me. For all I know, Charlie could be some religious freak.
Locke: Yeah, I seriously doubt that.
Claire: Then why is he carrying around a Virgin Mary statue?
Locke: What?
Claire: You know, one of the little statues? He says he found it in the jungle.
Locke: Hmm, how about that?
Ana-Lucia Cortez: How about you shut your mouth and get your buddy over here moving?
Michael: What happened to you people? You want us to take you back with us? Fine. But you want me to keep quiet then you need to tell me why I have to.
Ana-Lucia Cortez: They came the first night that we got here. They took three of us. Nothing happened for two weeks, then they came back. They took nine more. They're smart, and they're animals, and they could be anywhere at any time. Now we're moving through the jungle - their jungle - just so you can save your little hick friend over here. And if you think that one gun and one bullet is going to stop them - think again. So shut your mouth and keep moving.
Michael: They took my son.
Ana-Lucia Cortez: They took a lot of things.
Sawyer: Son of a bitch.
Jin Kwon: Hi there, Hurley.
Hurley: Jin, you're here.
Jin Kwon: I sure am.
Hurley: Dude, you speak English.
Jin Kwon: No, you're speaking Korean.
Hurley: [in Korean] I am?
[chicken mascot appears next to Jin]
Hurley: [still in Korean] What's he doing here?
Jin Kwon: Everything's going to change.
Hurley: [still in Korean] What?
Jin Kwon: Everything's going to change. Have a cluckity-cluck-cluck day, Hugo.
[to each other in Korean]
Jin Kwon: Honey... I don't like being told what to do.
Sun Kwon: Being told what to do was my life for four years... I didn't like it much either.
Jin Kwon: Right. I don't suppose you did.
[during a counseling course]
Locke: Francine feels a little too much if you ask me. You all do. I mean, seriously...?So-and-so never called me back, my mother stole thirty dollars from me" - I never even knew who my parents *were*. A couple years ago my birth mother found me and she told me - I was 'special'. And through her I met my real father - great news, right? Well, he pretended to love me just long enough to steal my kidney because he had to have a transplant! And then he dropped me back in the world like a piece of trash just like he did on the day I was born.
[shouts]
Locke: You want your damn thirty dollars back? I want my kidney back!
Charlie: [singing to baby Turnip Head] Incey Wincey Spider climbed up the water spout. Down came the rain and drowned the spider out!
Hurley: Dude, it's washed. Washed the spider out. Unless it's some British version.
Charlie: Oh. Down came the rain and washed the spider out!
Hurley: Okay, that thing in the woods: maybe it's a monster, maybe it's a pissed-off giraffe. I don't know! The fact that no one is even looking for us, yeah, that's weird, but I just go along with it because I'm along for the ride! Good old fun-time Hurley! Well, guess what? Now I want some friggin' answers!
Jack: Are you in contact with the people that made it... the film? Are you in contact with anyone?
Desmond: [trying to fix his computer] Do you think I'd be here if I was?
Jack: How is it that you didn't know about the crash? About us?
Desmond: I push this button every 108 minutes. I don't get out much.
Jack: So, these replacements?
Desmond: Kelvin died waiting for his replacements.
Jack: So you don't get out, you don't see anyone. Where does your food come from? You really think this is happening.
Desmond: Why wouldn't it be?
Jack: It says quarantine on the inside of the hatch to keep you down here. To keep you scared. But you know what? We've been up there for over 40 days and no one's gotten sick. You think that this is the only part of it that's true? Do you ever think that maybe they put you down here to push a button every 100 minutes just to see if you would? That all of this, the computer, the button, it's just a mind game? An experiment?
Desmond: Every... single... day. And for all our sakes, I hope it's not real. But the film says this is an electromagnetic station. And I don't know about you, brother, but every time I walk past that concrete wall out there, my fillings hurt.
Kate: Come on. You're going to see Jack.
Sawyer: Do I get a lollipop?
Danielle Rousseau: You've only got three choices: run, hide... or die.
Locke: [trying to convince Jack to push the button in the hatch] You saw the film, Jack. This is a... this is a two person job, at least.
Sayid: This argument is irrelevant.
[goes to push the button]
Locke: Sayid, don't.
Jack: Don't. It's not real. Look, you want to push the button, you do it yourself.
Locke: If it's not real, then what are you doing here, Jack? Why did you come back? Why do you find it so hard to believe?
Jack: Why do you find it so easy?
Locke: It's never been easy!
Kate: Maybe you should just do it.
Jack: No...
[less convinced]
Jack: It's a button.
Locke: [pleading] I can't do this alone, Jack... I don't want to.
[echoing the word of his former girlfriend]
Locke: It's a leap of faith, Jack.
Kate: I can take care of myself
Sawyer: Yeah, real good care...
[shouts]
Sawyer: Me Kate. Me throw rock.
Charlie: Kate, there's a certain gargantuan quality about this thing!
Locke: You're having a bad month.
Charlie: Well, aren't you the pessimist?
Charlie: [as Jack fiddles with the transceiver] Anything?
Jack: [with a slight chuckle] You keep asking if there's anything.
Charlie: Pardon me for appearing desperate, but before the pilot was
[shouts]
Charlie: ripped from the cockpit,
[normal voice]
Charlie: he did say that no-one's going to find us unless we get that transceiver working. So... is there anything?
[repeated line]
Locke: Don't tell me what I can't do.
[talking about the gun]
Shannon: You need to carry that all the time?
Sayid: I only carry it because I have someone to protect.
Charlie: She's got a bit to learn about being a mom. Responsibility, y'know.
Locke: Hmm. Now that's an interesting thing to say for a heroin addict.
Charlie: Recovering addict.
[Sawyer's just fainted and Michael runs to check on him]
Michael: Hey, Sawyer! You okay?
Sawyer: [faintly] I would've left you behind.
Michael: Shut up man, don't try that.
Sawyer: [even fainter] I did leave you behind.
Michael: Yeah well, good thing I ain't you.
[Shannon falls]
Sayid: Are you okay?
Shannon: Do not help me up!
Sayid: Let's go back.
Shannon: Why don't you believe me? I need you to believe in me.
Sayid: I do believe in you.
Shannon: You don't! No-one does. They think that I'm some kind of joke. They think I'm worthless.
Sayid: Shannon you are not worthless.
Shannon: You say that now, but you don't... You're just gonna leave me. I know as soon as we get out of here you're just going to leave me.
Sayid: I will never leave you. I love you. I believe you.
Shannon: You do?
Sayid: I do.
Kate: [Sawyer's chopping wood] What do you want?
Sawyer: 'Scuse me?
Kate: What do you want, Sawyer?
Sawyer: Freckles, I got so many answers to that question, I wouldn't even know where to start.
Kate: What do you want for the inhalers?
Sawyer: Ah - good question.
[goes back to chopping wood]
Sawyer: Hang on a tick. What do I want?... Kiss oughta do it.
Kate: What?
Sawyer: A kiss. From you, right now.
Kate: I don't buy it.
Sawyer: Buy what?
Kate: The act. You try too hard, Sawyer. I ask you to help a woman who can't breathe, and you want me to kiss you? Nobody's that disgusting... I've seen you, ya know.
Sawyer: Seen me what?
Kate: With that piece of paper. The one you keep in your pocket. Seen the expression on your face when you read it. How carefully you fold it up. Means something to you. So you can play games all you want. But I know there's a human being in there somewhere. Give me the medication.
Claire: [looking at the scratch on Danielle's arm, remembering fighting her in her sleep] When did I do that to you?
[Jack's explaining his "excuse" for his tour de stade after injuring his ankle]
Jack: Just trying to work a few things out.
Desmond: Ah, a girl, right?
Jack: A patient.
Desmond: Ah, but a girl patient. What's her name?
Jack: Her name's Sarah.
Desmond: What'd you do to her, then?
Jack: Do to her?
Desmond: You must have done something worthy of this self-flagellation.
Jack: I told her... I made her a promise I couldn't keep... I told her I'd fix her and I couldn't. I failed.
Desmond: Right. Just one thing - what if you did fix her?
Jack: I didn't.
Desmond: But what if you did?
Jack: You don't know what you're talking about, man.
Desmond: I don't? Why not?
Jack: Because with her situation that would be a miracle, "brother."
Desmond: Oh, and you don't believe in miracles?
[Jack laughs and shakes his head]
Desmond: Right. Well then, I'm going to give you some advice anyway. You have to lift it up.
Jack: Lift it up?
Desmond: Your ankle. You have to keep it elevated. It's been nice chatting.
Jack: Jack.
Desmond: Jack, I'm Desmond. Good luck, brother. See you in another life, yeah?
[after meeting Danielle]
Hurley: [to Sayid] She says hey.
Locke: [to Sayid] Okay, I'll tell you something you *don't* know.
Sayid: Please do.
Locke: The first week after the crash, there was a cave-in. Jack was trapped. Do you remember that?
Sayid: Of course.
Locke: You, Kate and Sawyer went out into the jungle to triangulate a signal.
Sayid: [suddenly worried] Yes.
Locke: You were hit from behind, knocked unconscious. When you woke up, the transceiver, your equipment was destroyed.
[long pause as both men look at each other and Sayid realizes what Locke is telling him]
Locke: That was me.
Sun Kwon: I don't think I've ever seen you angry.
Locke: [chuckles] Oh, I used to get angry - all the time, frustrated, too.
Sun Kwon: You're not frustrated any more?
Locke: I'm not lost any more.
Sun Kwon: How did you do that?
Locke: The same way anything lost gets found - I stopped looking.
Sawyer: I saw a guy lying there with an ankle holster. So I took the gun. Thought it might come in handy. And guess what?
[shouts]
Sawyer: I just shot a bear!
Sawyer: Who are they?
Michael: Don't worry, they're cool. They believe that we were on the flight too.
Sawyer: Well, now... we can sue Oceanic together, can't we!
Sawyer: Howdy, boys. Thanks for the rescue.
Michael: Everything's cool. We had a talk and they believe we were on the plane, too.
Sawyer: Swell, I guess we can all sue Oceanic together.
Sawyer: [about the survivors of plane's tail-end] I think they're gonna eat us.
Sawyer: [after pulling the bullet out of his arm] You got a band-aid?
Mr. Artz: And then my third wife, she says - get this - she says, "I didn't sign up for this". Now you tell me, what the hell is that even supposed to mean?
[Hurley doesn't reply]
Mr. Artz: What, am I boring you?
Hurley: Huh?
Mr. Artz: You know what? I'm sorry. I'm sorry I'm not cool enough to be part of your merry little band of adventurers.
Hurley: What?
Mr. Artz: I know a clique when I see it. I teach high school, pally! You know, you people think you're the only ones on this island doing anything of value. Well, I've got news for you. There were forty other survivors of this plane crash and we are all people, too.
Hurley: Okaaaaay...
Jack: [after Locke threw a knife into a seat, narrowly missing Sawyer] You must be either a very good aim...
[looks back at knife & Sawyer]
Jack: ... or a very bad aim.
[Sawyer has been complaining about headaches; Jack is examining him, and Kate is watching]
Jack: Have you ever had sex with a prostitute?
Sawyer: What's that got to do with anything?
Jack: Is that a yes?
Sawyer: [begrudgingly] Yes.
Jack: Have you ever contracted a sexually transmitted disease?
[Sawyer glares at him]
Jack: I'll take that as another yes. When was the last outbreak?
Sawyer: Go to hell, doc.
[leaves]
Kate: I know he deserved it, but...
Jack: He needs glasses.
Jack: Stand up.
Sawyer: Why, you wanna see who's taller?
Jack: You picking up a little Korean there, Michael?
Michael: Yeah, I'm pretty sure I know how to say "faster" and "idiot".
Hurley: Dude, what d'you want from me?
Charlie: What do I want? I want to know what we're doing in the middle of nowhere! And don't tell me it's because of some stinking batteries. One minute you're happy-go-lucky, good-time Hurley, the next you're Colonel bloody Kurtz!
Charlie: I know food is scarce, but your shirt?
Sawyer: [after offering Claire some fish] She likes me.
Boone: Theresa fell down the stairs. Theresa fell up the stairs. Theresa fell down the stairs. Theresa fell up the stairs. Theresa fell down the stairs...
Sawyer: My uncle died of a brain tumor. Does that run in the family?
Jack: What kind of tumor was it?
Sawyer: The kind that kills you.
Hurley: [to Sawyer, commenting on his glasses] Dude! Looks like someone steamrolled Harry Potter!
Jack: [to Kate about Sawyer] All I'm going to get out of him is a snappy one-liner and if I'm real lucky, a brand new nickname.
Boone: [to Locke] John? You been using that wacky paste stuff that made me think my sister got eaten?
Locke: [in front of an unopenable hatch] I did everything you wanted me to! Why did you do this to me!
[a light shines through a window in the hatch]
Kate: Somebody's in there.
Jack: Sawyer.
Sawyer: Right behind ya, jackass.
Charlie: Guys, where are we?
Henry Gale: God doesn't know where we are, John. He can't see this island any better than the rest of the world can.
Charlie: Does anyone have any sunblock?
Hurley: 4,8,15,16,23,42,4,8,Were dead. 4,8,15, Were doomed and Dead. 4,8,15...
Kate: Hurley are you ok?
Hurley: Hu? Oh, ya, awsome. I just, um, have to pee.
Hurley: Great idea dude, go look inside the burning death hole.
Sawyer: You're just not looking at the big picture, Doc. You're still back in civilization.
Jack: Yeah? And where are you?
Sawyer: Me? I'm in the wild.
Hurley: Um, I'm not so good around blood.
Jack: Just close your eyes.
Hurley: Dude... dude... oh dude...
[faints]
Jack: I think I'm going crazy.
Locke: Oh, you're not going crazy.
Jack: No?
Locke: No, crazy people don't know they're going crazy, they think they're getting saner.
Locke: [after Boone has had a vision of Shannon dying] How did you feel when she died?
Boone: I felt... I felt... I felt relieved.
Sawyer: Who got taken by what?
Walter 'Walt' Lloyd: Charlie and Claire. I think Ethan took 'em.
Sawyer: Ethan took 'em, huh?
Walter 'Walt' Lloyd: Yeah.
Sawyer: Took 'em why? And who the hell's Ethan?
Boone: What do you do in the real world, Mr. Locke?
Locke: It's John.
Boone: John.
Locke: Why don't you guess?
Boone: Well, you're either a taxidermist or a hitman.
Jack: Look, we don't have time to sort out everybody's god.
Charlie: Really? Because last time I checked we were positively made of time.
Rose: My husband is not dead.
Jack: Rose, he was in the tail section of the plane. It broke off in mid-flight. I'm sorry, but everyone who was in the rear of the plane is gone.
Rose: They're probably thinking the same thing about us.
Sawyer: [Sawyer confronts an injured Sayid in a cave a few days after Sayid had tortured Sawyer for some information] Well, now, I don't know if you Muslims have a concept of karma but it seems to me this island just served you up a heaping plate of cosmic payback.
Charlie: [counting] One sugar plum fairy, two sugar plum fairy...
Sawyer: So how's it feel?
Boone: How's what feel?
Sawyer: Taking my place on top of everyone's Most Hated list.
[after a cheeky pause]
Sawyer: Sucks, don't it?
Hurley: For the record, my belt HAS dropped a notch. I'm a big guy. It's gonna be a while before you're going to want to give me a piggy back ride.
Sawyer: What are you going to do, splash me?
Shannon: [after Hurley informs her Claire has been attacked] What? I am so not moving to the rape caves!
Boone: I don't think I could even spell trebuchet.
Locke: It has a "t" on the end.
Michael: This is a problem, man.
Jack: Yeah.
Michael: I mean, I know what I'd do, but... it's gotta be your call.
Jack: Okay. Give me a seven iron.
Jack: We tracked Ethan once! We can do it again!
[Charlie nods]
Locke: You *both* seem to forget how that went.
[looks at Jack]
Locke: He bested you physically.
[looks at Charlie]
Locke: And he hung you from a tree!
Charlie: They'll find us. They have satellites in space that can take pictures of your license plate.
Sayid: If only we were all wearing license plates.
Locke: Hey, do you mind if I ask you something?
Walter 'Walt' Lloyd: What?
Locke: Why did you burn down the raft, Walt?
Charlie: [to Claire] And this is where you sleep.
[pause]
Charlie: It's quite cozy, isn't it?
Charlie: Hmm. I have this dream. I'm driving a bus, and my teeth start falling out. My mum is in the back, eating biscuits. Everything smells of bacon. It's weird. 'Course I don't wake up screaming.
[Boone has taken the gun from Sawyer and Sayid to stand watch]
Sayid: Give it back to me.
Sawyer: Oh, yeah. Give it to Al Jazeera. He'll protect us.
Charlie: Al Jazeera's a network.
Sawyer: [about Sayid] Didn't you hear what Abdul here picked up on his radio?
Hurley: Okay, that thing in the woods, maybe it's a monster, maybe it's a pissed-off giraffe. I don't know.
Jin Kwon: Boat.
Hurley: So... I was just looking inside the fuselage, it's pretty grim in there. Do you think we should do something about the uh,
[looks at Walt]
Hurley: B-O-D-Y-S?
Michael: What are you spelling, man? Bodies?
Walter 'Walt' Lloyd: B-O-D-I-E-S.
Jack: I'm intense.
Ana-Lucia Cortez: You do what I tell you. When I say, "move" you move. When I say "stop" you stop. When I say "jump", what do you say?
Sawyer: You first.
Sawyer: Uh, uh, uh, jungle boy. Not even for one second.
[Sayid has Locke at gun point]
Sayid: This is one time you better *not* be telling the truth!
Mr. Eko: Do not mistake coincidence for fate.
Hurley: Dude, that was like a Jedi moment.
Sawyer: Remember when you said that all you wanted was me? Well, now you know better.
Ana-Lucia Cortez: How 'bout you gimme that gun?
Sawyer: How 'bout I gimme you nothin'?
Sawyer: You're in my light, Sticks.
Shannon: 'Lightsticks.' What the hell is that?
Sawyer: Light, comma, Sticks. As in those legs of yours.
Kate: You okay?
Sawyer: Never been better.
Kate: What the hell were you thinking?
Sawyer: [chuckles] I couldn't help myself. You just look so damn cute swingin' that pickaxe... Chain gang looks good on you, Freckles.
Kate: Why did she call you James?
Sawyer: [sighs] 'Cause that's my name. Noticed somethin' else, too.
[pauses, grins]
Sawyer: You taste like strawberries.
Kate: You taste like fish biscuits.
Charlie: Polar bears are meant to be clever, very clever. They're like the Einstein’s of the bear community.
Hurley: So the hatch... blew off your underwear?
Charlie: [to Eko] Are you going to beat me with your Jesus stick?
