Ben: Hello, Hugo.
Hurley: Ahh! [Throws Hot Pocket at him, misses and it hits wall] Get away from me. Get away!
Ben: Hugo, I know you're in trouble. And I can assure you, I've taken care of everything. I have a car waiting for us out back. The police didn't see me come in. I can get you out of here.
Hurley: No way, dude. Sayid warned me about you.
Ben: I'm taking you to Sayid. He's with Jack. That's why I'm here, Hugo. Jack called me. How else would I know that they're together?
Hurley: No. You're playing one of your mind games. They'd never trust you.
Ben: In their defense, I'm not an easy person to trust. But they came around when they realized that we all want the same thing.
Hurley: And what's that?
Ben: To go back to the island. Come with us, Hugo. And this'll be over. You can stop hiding. You can stop worrying about the stories and the deceptions. If you come with me, you won't ever have to lie again. Please... Let me help you.
Hurley: Never, dude.
[Hurley turns and runs]

Ben: Why don't you close that up now Jack? Come on, let's get him in the van, it's out back.
Jack: Where are we taking him?
Ben: We'll worry about that once we pick up Hugo.
Jack: Hurley - is locked away in a mental institution.
Ben: Which should make recruiting him considerably easier than the rest of your friends.
Jack: They're not my friends anymore.
Ben: Well that's the spirit...
Jack: How did we get here...? How did all of this happened?
Ben: It happened because you left, Jack... Now let's get started shall we?
(Ben closes Jeremy Bentham's coffin)

Carmen Reyes: Why is there a dead Pakistani on my couch?

Charles Widmore: There is a war coming, John. And if you're not on the Island by the time it starts, the wrong side is going to win.

Charlotte: Hey, you think he's looking for us?
Miles: Who?
Charlotte: Widmore
Miles: It took him, like, 20 years to find this place the first time. I'll start holding my breath now.

Charlotte: I've been here before.
Dan: You've been...you've been here before?
Charlotte: I grew up here. On the island. There was this thing, this DHARMA Initiative, and then I moved away with my mum. Just my mum, and I never saw my dad again. Then when I got back to England, I would ask my mum about this place, but she would say that it wasn't real, and that I'd made it up. That's why I became an anthropologist. To find this island again. It's what I've been searching for my whole life.
Dan: Charlotte, why are you telling me this?
Charlotte: Because I remember something now. When I was little, living here, there was this man, this crazy man. He really scared me. And he told me that I had to leave the island and never ever come back. He told me that if I came back to the island, I would die.
Dan: Charlotte, I don't understand.
Charlotte: Daniel! I think that man was you.

Dan (knocking at the hatch back door): Please, please, please. Let this work.
(The door opens, Desmond comes out and aims at Dan with a rifle)

Dan (staring at the hatch crater): Is this the hatch?
Sawyer: It was. Blown up, just like we left it.
Dan: Okay. So when we are now... It's now after you and your people crashed on the island.
Sawyer: You sayin' our camp is back on the beach again?
Dan: It's possible, yeah.
Sawyer: Good. I'm going back.
Dan: Hey. No, no. (stoping him) It's pointless.
Sawyer: More pointless than staring at a hole in the ground?
Dan: We don't know when the next flash is coming. By the time you get back to the beach, the camp could be gone again.
Sawyer: Yeah. But what if it ain't? Hell, what if the helicopter hasn't even taken off yet?
Juliet: We could warn them. Stop them from ever flying to that boat.
Dan: That is not the way it works.
Sawyer: Who says?
Dan: You cannot change anything. You can't. Even if you tried to, it wouldn't work.
Sawyer: Why not?
Dan: Time it's like a street, all right? We can move forward on that street, we can move in reverse, but we cannot ever create a new street. If we try to do anything different, we will fail every time. Whatever happened, happened.

Dan: Don't shoot.
Desmond: Then you'd best explain why you've been bangin' on my door for the last 20 minutes, brother.
Dan: Desmond.
Desmond (slowly lowering the rifle): Are you him?
Dan: "Him"? Who?
Desmond: My replacment.
Dan: No, I'm not. (Desmond points the rifle at him again) I'm not. I'm not. I'm...
Desmond: Do I know you?
Dan: Yeah... in a way. But listen, that's not important. What is important, Desmond, is what I'm about to say to you. I need you to listen. You're the only person who can help us because, Desmond... The rules... The rules don't apply to you. You're special. You're uniquely and miraculously special.
Desmond: What are you talking about?
(The sky begins to hum)

Dan: Okay, listen to me. Listen! If the helicopter somehow made it off the island, if you got home...
Desmond: What helicopter? What are you talking about?!
Dan: Listen, I need you to listen, or people are gonna die. My name is Daniel Faraday, and right now me and everyone else you left behind. We're in serious danger. You're the only person who can help us. I need you to go back to Oxford University. Go back to where we met. I need you to go there and find my mother. Her name is...
(The sky flashes and Desmond wakes up in his bed)

Dharma Worker: There's an open chamber about twenty meters in behind the rock. There's something in there. And the only way to get it is to lay charges here and here, blast through it-
Pierre Chang (From Orientation videos): Under no circumstances. This station is being built here because it's proximity to what we believe to be an almost limitless energy and that energy, once we can harness it correctly, it's going to allow us to manipulate time.
Worker: Right... Okay, so what? We're gonna go back and kill Hitler?
Pierre Chang: Don't be absurd. There are rules. Rules that can't be broken.
Worker: So what do you want me to do?
Pierre Chang: You're gonna do nothing. If you drill even one centimeter further, you risk releasing that energy. If that would've happened... God help us all.
(Jack stares at Locke's body, Ben comes up with a stretcher)

Hurley: Dude they'll find out.
Jack: Not if we stick to the story.
Sayid: I don't know, Jack. It could be a risk.
Jack: It's the only way. We have to do this.
Lapidus: You're still at it, huh?
Jack: Look, we're running out of time. We've got to make a decision now. So are we all okay with this?
Sayid: This is a decision that will affect the rest of our lives. I'm not taking it lightly.
Jack: Kate?
Kate: Yeah.
Jack: Sun?
[Sun nods]
Jack: Frank?
Lapidus: What?
Jack: Sorry you got dragged into this, but we need to know that you're with us.
Lapidus: Whatever you guys decide, I'll just roll with.
Jack: Hurley, what about you?
Hurley: I don't think we should lie dude.
Jack: We need to protect the people that we left behind, Hurley.
Hurley: How does lying protect them?
Jack: It protects them from Charles Widmore. The guy hired a boatload of people to kill all of us. He faked the plane crash, and you think telling him the truth he's just gonna.. he's gonna leave them alone?
Hurley: [To Penny] Look he's your dad right? Can't you just like.. call him off?
Penny: There's no calling my father off.
Hurley: But, he'll never find 'em. I mean the Island disappeared, we all saw it, it's gone... BLUP!
Jack: You thing anyone's gonna believe that? Believe any of it? They're gonna think you're crazy.
Hurley: Unless someone backs me up.
[He looks at Sayid]
Hurley: Sayid, come on. They'll think I'm nuts if I tell the truth but what if we all do? I mean if we can stick together, we can make 'em believe us. I don't wanna spend the rest of my life lying, do you?!
Sayid: No, but I don't believe we have a better choice... I'm sorry Hurley but we have to lie.
Hurley: You know what dude? I'm gonna remember this. And some day you're gonna need my help and I'm telling you right now... You're not getting it.

Hurley: Okay. See, we did crash, but it was on this crazy island. And we waited for rescue, and there wasn't any rescue. And there was a smoke monster, and then there were other people on the island. We called them the Others, and they started attacking us. And we found some hatches, and there was a button you had to push every 108 minutes or... well, I was never really clear on that. But... the Others didn't have anything to do with the hatches. That was the DHARMA Initiative. The Others killed them, and now they're trying to kill us. And then we teamed up with the Others because some worse people were coming on a freighter. Desmond's girlfriend's father sent them to kill us. So we stole their helicopter and we flew it to their freighter, but it blew up. And we couldn't go back to the island because it disappeared, so then we crashed into the ocean, and we floated there for a while until a boat came and picked us up. And by then, there were six of us. That part was true. But the rest of the people... who were on the plane? They're still on that island.

Hurley: So that dude you pocked outside Santa Rosa, who was he?
Sayid: I don't care. He was armed and he was watching you. That made him an enemy.
Hurley: You think he was going to kill me?
Sayid: I'm not taking risks after Bentham died.
Hurley: You mean Locke?
Sayid: Yeah, I mean Locke.
Hurley: I need a cool code name.

Hurley: So when'd you become so paranoid?
Sayid: If you'd spent the last two years doing the things I was doing, you'd be paranoid, too.
Hurley: Oh, yeah? Paranoid like what? What kind of things?
Sayid: I was working for Benjamin Linus.
Hurley: Wait. He's on our side now?
Sayid: Listen to me, Hurley. If you ever have the misfortune of running into him, whatever he tells you, just do the opposite.
