Sayid Jarrah quotes from Lost

Sayid

[to Kate, about Sawyer] You go after him now and he'll give you nothing. But if you wait, a rat will always lead you to its hole.

Sayid

Is there a reason you didn't consult us when you decided to form your own civilization?

Sayid

I didn't know Boone very well, and for that I am sorry. On our sixth day here a woman named Joanna died. She drowned. And Boone was the first one into the water. I didn't know him, but I remember his courage. And I know he will be missed.

Sayid

[to Ana-Lucia] Almost 40 days ago on this very island I tied a man to a tree and tortured him. I tortured him as I've tortured many men... men whose voices I still hear in the night. Should you kill me? Maybe you should. Maybe you were meant to.

Sayid

What would be the use in killing you if we're already dead?

Sayid

She has no plan! She only has her guilt, and her gun!

Sayid

[to Henry] I was 23 years old when the Americans came to my country. I was a good man. I was a soldier. And when they left, I was something different. For the next six years, I did things I wish I could erase from my memory, things which I never thought myself to be capable of. But I did come to learn this. There is a part of me that I'm always capable of. You want to know who I am? [pause] My name is Sayid Jarrah...and I am a torturer.

Sayid

[Shouting at Henry] YOU WOULD REMEMBER HOW DEEP! YOU WOULD REMEMBER EVERY SHOVELFUL, EVERY MOMENT! You would remember what it felt like to place her body inside. You would remember if you buried the woman you loved... YOU WOULD REMEMBER, [quiets and sobs] if it were true!

Sayid

(about the "foot") I do not know what is more disquieting---the fact that the rest of the statue is missing, or that it has four toes.

Sayid Jarrah

[to Jack] Jack, no matter what happens here, I want you to keep moving; keep moving for that radio tower. Don't turn back for any reason. I'm willing to give my life if it means securing rescue, but I'm not giving it up for nothing. You understand?

Sayid Jarrah

[to Jack about Locke] The last time you encountered him, you put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger. That's not good diplomacy.

Sayid Jarrah

[about Ben, his future employer] Forgive me, but the day I start trusting him is the day I would have sold my soul.

Sayid Jarrah

[dying] I've tortured more people than I can remember. I murdered. Wherever I'm going...it can't be very pleasant.

Sayid

You'd think they would've come by now.

Charlie

What? Who?

Sayid

Anyone.

Hurley

How do you know how to do all that?

Sayid

I was a military communications officer.

Hurley

Oh yeah? You ever see battle?

Sayid

I fought in the Gulf War.

Hurley

No way! I got a buddy who fought over there. He was in the Hundred and Fifth Airborne. What were you, Air Force? Army?

Sayid

The Republican Guard.
