Scenes with Sawyer Ford 103
Dan (staring at the hatch crater): Is this the hatch?
SawyerIt was. Blown up, just like we left it.
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?
Sawyer
Good. I'm going back.
Hey. No, no. (stoping him) It's pointless.
Sawyer
More pointless than staring at a hole in the ground?
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?
We could warn them. Stop them from ever flying to that boat.
That is not the way it works.
Sawyer
Who says?
You cannot change anything. You can't. Even if you tried to, it wouldn't work.
Sawyer
Why not?
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.
I want you to tell me everything or I'll cut off her other hand.
Sawyer
Other?
The first one isn't negotiable. It's just to illustrate how serious I am.
Sawyer
How'd you learn to speak Latin?
Others 101. It's the language of the enlightened.
Sawyer
Enlightened, my ass.
Sawyer
I saw Kate.
Sawyer
Last night, in the jungle. Before the last flash. She was delivering Claire's baby.
But that was two months ago.
Sawyer
Time travel's a bitch.
[Locke, Sawyer, Juliet, Miles and Jin finally reached "The Orchid"]
Thank God. What are the odds that we would end up in the same time as this thing?
[Time shifts and "The Orchid" disappears]
Sawyer
You just had to say somethin'.
[Locke, Sawyer, Juliet, Miles and Jin finally find the well Charlotte talked about]
Sawyer
You're going down there?
Sawyer
What exactly are you hoping to find?
Sawyer
Expecting a subway!?
[Smiling] Goodbye, James.
Sawyer
You heard the man, translate!
Dude, he's Korean. I'm from Encino.
[1974 - Sawyer and Juliet step out of some foliage to find Daniel Faraday kneeling alone and crying in the jungle.]
[muttering] Not gonna tell... I'm not gonna tell...
Sawyer
[whispering to Juliet] Where's Red?
[Juliet walks over to Faraday and stoops down to talk to him. Sawyer, Miles and Jin hang back.]
[mutters indistinctly] No. I won't do it. I won't tell her. I won't do it. Won't...
I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna tell her.
Daniel, where's Charlotte?
[Voice breaking] She's not here. She... She's gone.
She's... dead. She's dead. There was another flash, and... and she was... she was just gone.
[Juliet nods sympathetically.]
Her... body just... [crying] disappeared. She moved on, and we stayed.
Sawyer
Hold on. Wait a minute. We "stayed"? We're not traveling through time anymore? You saying it's over?
Of course it's over. Wherever we are now... whenever we are now... we're here for good. :[To Juliet, or perhaps to himself] I won't do it.
I won't. I'm not gonna--I'm--I'm...
I'm not gonna--I w--I won't.
Okay. [pats Dan on head] Okay.
[Juliet stands up and goes back towards Sawyer]
Sawyer
Okay. Swell. Until Dan checks back in, I say we head back to the beach. When Locke gets back with everybody, that's where they'll be looking for us.
The beach? What, you didn't get enough flaming arrows shot at you? And your camp is gone. Why bother?
Sawyer's right, Miles. We should go back to the beach. We survived there before. We can do it again.
[To nobody in particular] Or maybe when we get there, you'll--you'll wanna go back to the Orchid again. And then when that gets boring, we can head back to the beach. It's the only two plans you people have.
Sawyer
I got good news and bad news. What you want first?
Sawyer
You're a daddy. Bad news is you missed it.
HHorace
Oh, gosh. Amy... She had the baby?
Sawyer
It's a boy.
[Sawyer shakes his head "Yes"]
Sawyer
Now how about you tell me... why you're too busy drinking and blowing up trees to see him be born?
HHorace
I was, uh... I was looking for a pair of socks, and all of mine were dirty, so I went to grab a pair of Amy's, and... I found this... In the back of her drawer.
[He shows Sawyer Paul's necklace]
Sawyer
You got in a fight over a necklace?
HHorace
I know. But... It's only been three years, Jim. Just three years that he's been gone. Is that really long enough to get over someone?
Sawyer
I had a thing for a girl once. And I had a shot at her, but I didn't take it. For a little while, I'd lay in bed every night, wondering if it was a mistake. Wondering if... I'd ever stop thinking about her. And now I can barely remember what she looks like. I mean, her face... it's.. She's just gone, and she ain't never coming back. So... Is three years long enough to get over someone? Absolutely.
[Having been reunited with Hurley, Kate and Jack at the end of Namaste, Sawyer speaks to the trio for the first time in three years]
[To Sawyer] You're alive! DUDE! I can't believe it!
[Hurley embraces Sawyer, lifting him off the ground in the process]
Sawyer
Ha, ha. Easy on the ribs there Kong.
Kong...I actually missed that.
Sawyer
I missed you too Hugo.
[Jack moves in to shake Sawyer's hand]
Sawyer
Doc.
[Kate approaches Sawyer and hugs him]
Sawyer
Hi. Good to see you, Kate.
[Sawyer looks at the group]
Sawyer
I can't believe it! You're really here. Son of a bitch actually did it. [John] Locke said he was gonna bring you back, but...[looks around] where is he?
Sawyer
Dead? How?
Doesn't matter, he's gone.
So what's up with you guys in the old Dharma jump suits?
[Sawyer turns to Jin]
Sawyer
You didn't tell them?
[Jin now speaks perfect English]
No. I was waiting for you.
Sawyer
We're in the Dharma Initiative.
They came back to the Island?
Sawyer
No, we came back. And so did you. [Pause] It's Nineteen Seventy-seven...
[In the North Valley, Sawyer retruns with clothes and instructions for Jack, Kate and Hurley. He gets out of the van]
Sawyer
Alright listen. Y'all gonna be the second batch of recruits coming in off the sub. It should be pulling into port right about now so we ain't got much time. [Looks at Jack] Nice suit, doc. Not exactly Island wear, try this.
[Sawyer throws Jack some 1977 style clothes including a shirt and a pair of trousers]
You want us to say we came in on the sub? How's that going to work?
Sawyer
Everyone gets knocked out before the trip, so no one meets each other until we process ‘em.
Look. We need to find the rest of people from the plane.
Sawyer
If there was a plane then Jin will find it. So we've got about ten minutes to make intake or you'll be camping in the jungle for a long time. There isn't another batch of recruits due in for six months.
[Jack turns to Kate]
I think we should listen to Sawyer.
I vote for not camping too.
Sawyer
Trust me doc. You'll do what I say then everything will be fine.
[Brief pause. Jack nods in agreement]
Sawyer
Ok then. Let's move.
[Sawyer followed by the other three get into the Dharma Minivan]
[In his Dharma Minivan, Sawyer drives Hurley, Jack and Kate to the Barracks]
Ok. So, it's Nineteen Seventy-seven?
Sawyer
Yup.
And you guys are all members of the Dharma Initiative?
Sawyer
Yup.
Well, you do realise those dudes get wiped out right? I mean I saw the pit where all the bodies got dumped.
Sawyer
What about it?
Well; aren't you gonna warn ‘em? Aren't you gonna stop it from happening?
Sawyer
I ain't here to play Nostradamus to these people. Besides, Faraday's got some interesting theories about what we can and can't do here.
[Jack leans into the conversation from the backseat]
Did you say Faraday? He's still here?
Sawyer
Not any more!
[Having seen Sayid been arrested and locked up by Sawyer and Jin, Jack heads round to Sawyer's house to speak with him about the situation]
Sawyer
What can I do for you, Jack?
I don't even know where to start. Uh... How about with Sayid?
Sawyer
I had no choice. He was running around in the jungle, got caught by my people. And seein' as how he can't tell the truth about how he got here, I had to improvise.
Sawyer
Aha. And for now, Sayid is safe, which is all that matters.
So where do we go from here?
Sawyer
I'm working on it.
Really? Because it looked to me like you were reading a book.
[Sawyer smiles]
Sawyer
I heard once Winston Churchill read a book every night, even during the Blitz. He said it made him think better. It's how I like to run things. I think. I'm sure that doesn't mean that much to you, 'cause back when you were calling the shots, you pretty much just reacted. See, you didn't think, Jack, and as I recall, a lot of people ended up dead.
Sawyer
But here you are... Right back where you started. So I'm gonna go back to reading my book, and I'm gonna think 'cause that's how I saved your ass today. And that's how I'm gonna save Sayid's tomorrow. All you gotta do is go home, get a good night's rest. I do what I do
[He leads Jack to the door and opens it]
Sawyer
Now ain't that a relief?
[Jack leaves]
[Sawyer holds a meeting to discuss what the survivors should do next before their true identities are discovered by Dharma. Suddenly there's a knock at the front door]
Sawyer
Hold your horses, I'll be right there.
[Sawyer picks up and cocks a handgun, placing it behind his back as he opens the door which he opens to reveal Dan and Miles]
Sawyer
Welcome to the meeting Twitchy. Good to see you again. Come in, pound cake's in the kitchen, help yourself to the punch.
[Dan enters the house. Miles starts to follow. Saywer pulls him to one side]
Sawyer
Is he still crazy?
It's on a whole new level man.
Sawyer
[Sarcastically] Great!
[Juliet and Sawyer are in their home packing in preparation to leave Dharma for the beach, Juliet packs and is slient. Sawyer stops her]
Sawyer
You called it the minute those yahoos got here. I should have listened to you. You can say I told you so!
Maybe after we get to the beach.
Sawyer
Hey. You still got my back?
