Desmond David Hume quotes from Lost

Desmond

So I started pushing the button too. And we saved the world together for a while, and that was lovely. Then Kelvin died, and now here I am all alone. The end.

Desmond

See ya in another life brotha.

Desmond

[to Jack] But the first piece of land I saw wasn't Fiji was it, no... No it was here, this... this island. And you know why?

Desmond

Because this, is it. This is all there is left. This ocean, and this place here, we are stuck in a bloody snowglobe!

Desmond

On that day, those numbers turned to hieroglyphics, and this whole place just starting shakin', and that screen- that screen filled up with 'SYSTEM FAILURE', see, here, 'SYSTEM FAILURE, SYSTEM FAILURE', September 22nd, 2004, the day your plane crashed, it's real, it's all bloody real now PUSH THE DAMN BUTTON!

Desmond Hume

[to Locke] 3 days before you came down here, before we met, I heard a banging on the Hatch door, shouting. But it was you, John, wasn't it? You said there isn't any purpose—there's no such thing as fate. But you saved my life, brother, so that I could save yours.

Desmond

I'm sorry, brother, but this time - this time you have to die

Desmond

Lower your gun, or I'll blow his damn head off, brother!

Jack

You.

Jack Shephard

You don't know what you're talking about, man.

Desmond Hume

I don't? Why not?

Jack Shephard

Because with her situation that would be a miracle, brother.

Desmond Hume

Oh, and you don't believe in miracles?

Desmond Hume

Right. Well then, I'm going to give you some advice anyway. You have to lift it up.

Jack Shephard

Lift it up?

Desmond Hume

Your ankle. You've got to keep it elevated. It's been nice chatting.

Jack Shephard

Jack.

Desmond Hume

Jack, I'm Desmond. Good luck, brother. See you in another life, yeah?

Desmond

[showing Locke an Apple II computer] Can you use this?

Locke

I haven't seen one of these in twenty years!

Desmond

What did one snowman say to the other snowman?

Locke

I don't know what you're talking about...

Desmond

Get rid of the knife. You're not HIM!

Jack Shephard

It says "quarantine" on the inside of the hatch to keep you down here. To keep you scared. But you know what? We've been up there for over 40 days and no one's gotten sick. You think that this is the only part of it that's true?! Do you ever think that maybe they put you down here to push a button every 100 minutes just to see if you would? That all of this -- the computer, the button -- it's just a mind game?! An experiment?

Desmond Hume

Every -- single -- day. And for all our sakes, I hope it's not real. But the film says this is an electromagnetic station. And I don't know about you, brother, but every time I walk past that concrete wall out there, my fillings hurt.

Sayid

[to Desmond] I need your boat.

Desmond

I wouldn't waste your time. There's nothing out there pal.

Sayid

I'm not going out there. I need to get to the north shore of the island, and quickly.

Desmond

Off to see the hostiles are ya?

Sayid

The what?

Desmond

You know what? Ignorance is bliss.

Locke

What did one snowman say to the other snowman?

Desmond

"Smells like carrots."

Locke

Hello, Desmond.

Desmond

"Hello" yourself, box man.

Penelope

What are you running from, Desmond?

Desmond

I have to get my honor back. And that's what I'm running to.

Locke

[to Desmond] The Pearl is a psychological station, full of TV monitors. And uh, two men sat in viewing chairs and filled notebooks, with observations on what happens in here. And then they put the notebooks in pneumatic tubes, sent 'em back to their headquarters, so they could evaluate us, as an experiment.

Locke

What?

Desmond

What if you've got it backwards?

Locke

"Backwards"?

Desmond

What if the experiment wasn't on the two men in [The Swan] but on the two men in [The Pearl]?
