Kate Austen quotes from Lost

Damn it, Freckles, go. Every man for himself.

Kate Austen

Live together, die alone.

Police, open the door.

Kate

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

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.

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.

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

Wanna get it on?

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!

Edward Mars

I realized this morning that it was the Feast of the Assumption and I was feeling bad. How many holy days have come and gone since you last called? I thought you and I were friends?

Kate Austen

I don't want to run anymore.

Edward Mars

What's his name? [beat] Does he know who you are?

Kate Austen

Edward, please. I know you don't want to spend the rest of your life chasing me. Please, I love this guy. Just let me go.

Edward Mars

I'll tell you what. If you can really stay put? Really settle down? Then I'll stop chasing you. But you and I both know that's not gonna happen.

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.

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.

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 Austen

Can I ask you something? I told you that your daughter was living with them, and you haven’t asked me a single question about her, you haven't—

Danielle Rousseau

Your friend, Jack. Do you care about him?

Kate Austen

Yes.

Danielle Rousseau

Imagine 16 years from now, you're told he's still alive, but in your heart, you know that he wouldn't remember you. He wouldn’t know you. He wouldn't even know that you ever cared about him. I haven't asked you questions about my daughter because I do not want to know the answers.

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!

Sayid

Hey.

Jack

Hey.

Kate

So here we go again, huh?

Jack

[Laughs.] Here we go again.

Kate

What happened? What'd he say?

Jack

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

Kate

Jack, your knuckles. Here

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.

Kate

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

Jack

Because I love you.

Locke

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

Jack

What did you do?

Locke

What I had to. Now step back.

Locke

Stay away from the phone.

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-

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

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

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!

Locke

You won't shoot me, Jack. Anymore than I was gonna-[Is cut off when Jack pulls the trigger. But nothing happens.]

Locke

[Amazed] It's not loaded...

Jack

Let go of me![To Sayid] Do you know what he did?!

Sayid

Yes, I know what he did!

Locke

All I did, all I have ever done, has been in the best interests of all of us.

Jack

Are you insane!?

Locke

I know I have a lot of explaining to do. But I never did anything to hurt any of you. I even risked my life to tell you there was a traitor in your midst.[Points at Juliet]

Jack

She helped us, John. All you ever did was blow up every chance we've had of getting off of this Island! You killed Naomi.

Ben

Well, technically, he didn't kill her. Yet.

Kate

[Just arriving] Yes he did. She just died. She didn't give you up, John. She covered for us, and she fixed this.[Hands Jack the phone] They're on their way.

Locke

She didn't cover for anyone. She wants her people to come here. And trust me, when they do we had all better be far away from here. I'm going to the Barracks. The Others abandoned them. It's the only place on the Island with any form of security, so it'll have to do until I can think of something else. Until then, if you wanna live, you need to come with me.

Jack

No one's going anywhere with you, John. Because they're not crazy.

Hurley

[teary eyed] He's not crazy! What about Charlie? Charlie went down to that place so we could all be rescued. And whatever he did down there, it worked. But then something must have happened. He must have heard something before he...[Becomes overwhelemed with emotion] I don't know why, but he changed his mind. Because the last thing he did was warn us that the people on that boat are not who they said they were. So I'm not listening to you! I'm listening to my friend. I'm listening to Charlie.
