Hurley Reyes quotes from Lost

Hurley

She kinda said something else. Something you have to do.

Richard

What?

Hurley

She said you have to stop The Man in Black. You have to stop him from leaving the Island. And she said that if you don't... (speaking in Spanish) ...we'll all go to hell.

Libby

It's okay, it's okay. I'm crazy.

Hurley

Yeah, probably, but we all got something, right? I mean it takes a lot of guts to go up to a total stranger and tell them that you know them from some bizarro alternate universe ... I'm scared just, saying hi to a girl.

Libby

You're doin' fine.

Jack

Wait. [stops Sayid from pulling the wires out of the C4]

Sawyer

What the hell are you doing Doc?

Jack

Nothing is going to happen.

Sawyer

What?

Jack

Don't pull those wires out. We're going to be OK. Nothing is going to happen.

Sawyer

If I don't pull these wires, Locke is going to blow us to kingdom come.

Jack

No he's not! Locke can't kill us.

Hurley

Uhh, what?

Jack

This is what he wanted. This has been what he has been waiting for. Everything that he has done has been to get us here. He wanted to get us all at the same place at the same time in a nice enclosed space where we had no hopes of getting out.

Jin

I don't understand.

Jack

Locke said that he couldn't leave the Island without us. I think that he can't leave the Island unless we're all dead. He told me that he could kill any one of us whenever he wanted, so what if he hasn't because he's not allowed to? What if he's trying to get us to kill each other?

Sawyer

Stay out of my way Doc.

Jack

If he wanted that thing to blow up, why did he put a timer on it? Why not just throw it inside?

Sawyer

I don't care.

Jack

Nothing is going to happen.

Sawyer

It's not your decision to make.

Jack

He can't kill us!

Sawyer

I'm not going to stand here and do nothing!

Jack

James... We are going to be OK. You just have to trust me.

Sawyer

Sorry Doc, I don't. [pulls the wires from the C4 and the clock then speeds up]

Sayid

Listen carefully. There's a well on the main Island a half mile south from where we were just left. Desmond is inside it. Locke wants him dead, which means you are going to need him. Do you understand me?

Jack

Now why are you telling me this?

Sayid

Because it is going to be you Jack. [Takes the bomb and runs]

Hurley

Sayid!

Kate

So you're the one who wrote our names on the wall?

Jacob

I am.

Kate

Sun and Jin Kwon and Sayid Jarrah. You wrote their names on the wall?

Jacob

Yes,

Kate

Is that why they're dead?

Jacob

I'm very sorry.

Kate

You're sorry?

Hurley

Kate...

Kate

No, I wanna know why. I wanna know that Sun and Jin and Sayid didn't die for nothing.

Jacob

...Come and sit down and I will tell you what they died for. I'll tell you why I chose them. And why I chose you. And I'll tell you everything you need to know about protecting this Island, because by the time that fire burns out, one of you is gonna have to start doing it. [The group gathers around] I don't really know where to start.

Hurley

How about why you brought us to the Island.

Jacob

I brought all of you here because I made a mistake. A mistake I made a very long time ago, and now, because of that there's a very good chance every single one of you and everyone you've ever cared about is going to die.

Sawyer

What mistake?

Jacob

You call him "The Monster." But I'm responsible for what happened to him. I made him that way. And ever since then he's been trying to kill me. It was only a matter of time before he figured out how, and when he did, someone would have to replace me. And that's why I brought you all here.

Sawyer

Tell me something, Jacob. Why do I gotta be punished for your mistake? What made you think you could mess with my life? I was doing just fine until you dragged my ass to this rock.

Jacob

No you weren't. None of you were. I didn't pluck any of you out of some happy existence. You were all flawed. I chose you because you were all like me. You were all alone. You were all looking for something you couldn't find out there. I chose you because you needed this place as much as it needed you.

Kate

Why did you cross my name off of your wall?

Jacob

Because you became a mother. It's just a line of chalk in a cave. The job is yours if you want it, Kate.

Jack

What is the job?

Jacob

There's a light at the center of this Island. You have to make sure it never goes out. That's how you protect it.

Sawyer

Your monster friend said there's nothing to protect it from.

Jacob

You have to protect it from him. You must do what I couldn't. What I wasn't able to do.

Jack

You want us to kill him. Is that even possible?

Jacob

I hope so, because he is certainly going to try to kill you.

Hurley

So...how are you gonna pick?

Jacob

I'm not going to pick, Hugo. I'm going to give you the one thing I was never given. A choice.

Kate

And if none of us chooses?

Jacob

Then this ends very badly.

Jack

I'll do it. This is why I'm here. This is...this is what I'm supposed to do.

Jacob

Is that a question, Jack?

Jack

...No,

Jacob

Good, then it's time.

Sawyer

Just when I thought that guy had a god complex before...

Kate

James...

Sawyer

Yeah. I know,

Hurley

I'm just glad it's not me.

Jack

Jacob didn't say anything to me about Desmond.

Sawyer

Doesn't sound like he said anything about anything.

Hurley

That's kind of true, dude. He's worse than Yoda.

Sawyer

All right, ya'll head to your heart of the island and I'll go back and get the magic leprechaun out of that well.

Jack

If we leave a trail can you catch up with us?

Sawyer

[nods] Hell, yeah, I can.

Jack

Then be safe.

Sawyer

[to Kate] I'd ask you along, but that'd take all of the fun out of me telling you you can't come.

Kate

[smiles] I guess I'll just have to resist the urge to follow you anyway.

Kate

Why did you take the job, Jack?

Jack

Because I was supposed to.

Kate

Why? Because some stranger wrote our names on a wall?

Jack

I took it because the island's all I've got left. It's the only thing in my life I haven't managed to ruin.

Kate

You haven't ruined anything. Nothing is irreversible.

Hurley

This would be so sweet if we weren't all about to die.

Hurley

No, no way. I'm not going to let you die.

Jack

Hurley, I'm already dead.

Hurley

You said you would protect the Island.

Jack

And that's what I'm doing.

Hurley

You're committing suicide!

Jack

I'm not. This is the way its supposed to happen. This is what I'm supposed to do.

Hurley

You're not supposed to die! The island needs you!

Jack

Hurley, it needs you.

Hurley

What?

Jack

It needs to be you, Hugo.

Hurley

[Overcome with emotion]...I can't...It's supposed to be you.

Jack

No it was only supposed to be me so I could do this. But if someone has to take care of it, if someone has to protect it, then it should be you. Hurley, I believe in you.

Hurley

...All right, I'll take it. But its only temporary, as soon as you get that light back on, I'm pulling you straight up and giving it rightt back to you, deal?

Jack

Deal.

Ben

I think Desmond's gonna be okay.

Hurley

...Jack's gone.[Breaks down in tears]

Ben

He did his job, Hugo.

Hurley

But it's my job now! What the hell am I gonna do?

Ben

I think you'll do what you do best: Take care of people. And you can start by helping Desmond go home.

Hurley

How? People can't leave the Island.

Ben

That was how Jacob ran things. Maybe there's another way, a better way.

Hurley

Can you help me?

Ben

I'm sorry?

Hurley

I could sorta use someone with, like, experience. For a little while. So...will you help me, Ben?

Ben

...I would be honored.

Hurley

Cool...
