Dr. Jack Shephard quotes from Lost

Jack

Three days ago we all died. We should all be able to start over.

Jack

It's been six days, and we're all still waiting. Waiting for someone to come. But what if they don't? We have to stop waiting. We need to start figuring things out. A woman died this morning just going for a swim. He tried to save her and now you're about to crucify him. We can't do this. Every man for himself is not going to work. It's time to start organizing. We need to figure out how we're going to survive here. Now I found water. Freshwater, up in the valley. I'll take a group up there at first daylight. If you don't want to come then find another way to contribute! Last week most of us were strangers. But we're all here now. And God knows how long we're going to be here. But if we can't live together--we're gonna die alone.

Jack Shephard

I want you to listen to me, okay. Because I'm asking you a favor, Chrissy. I'm standing in front of you in the same suit that I'm wearing to my father's funeral and I'm asking you a favor. In 16 hours I need to land at LAX, and I need that coffin to clear customs because there's going to be a hearse waiting there. And I need that hearse to take me and that coffin to a cemetery. Why? Chrissy, why can't I just bring him to a funeral home and make all the arrangements? Why can't I really take my time with it? Because... because I need it to be done. I need it to be over. I just—I need to bury my father.

[to Sawyer] If I keep giving you the pills you're going to be as right as rain. But I'm going to stop giving you the pills. And for 2 days you're going to think you're all good, then it's going to start to itch. The day after that the fever's going to come and you're going to start seeing red lines running up and down your arm. A day or two after that you'll beg me to take the case, just to cut off your arm.

Jack

[on helping Sawyer] ...all I'm gonna get is a snappy one-liner, and, if I'm lucky, a brand-new nickname.

Jack

Why are you running, you DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU'RE RUNNING FROM!

Jack

[after Kate persuades a semiconscious Sawyer to swallow medicine] That was good. I, uh, never learned the whole whisper-in-his-ear thing in medical school.

Jack

[to Ana Lucia] How long would it take to train an army?

Jack

"Either way, it sounds like you end up dead."

Jack

So, what's done is done.

Jack

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

Time of death... (realizes that there is no clock) She's gone.

Jack Shephard

[to Kate] Kate, dammit, RUN!

Jack

What are you DOING HERE!!!!!!

Jack

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