James Ford quotes from Lost

[to Kate] I'm a complex guy, sweetheart.

[reading private messages] Who the hell is Hugo and how's he got a 160 million dollars to leave to his mom?

[to Aldo] Don't get mad at me just because you were dumb enough to fall for the old Wookiee prisoner gag.

Who are we to argue with taller ghost Walt?

[following Jack] Hold up! You don't get to die alone.

I hate to bust up the "I'm an Other, you're an Other" reunion, but Faraday — the guy that's actually gonna save us — is being death marched into the jungle right now.

Sayid Jarrah

We do not have bamboo in Iraq, although we do have something similar -- reeds. But their effect is the same when the shoots are inserted underneath the fingernails.

You know what I think, Ali. I think you've never actually tortured anybody in your life.

Sayid Jarrah

Unfortunately for us both, you're wrong.

Kate Austen

This letter wasn't written to you. You wrote this letter. Your name's not Sawyer, is it?

It was his name. He was a confidence man. Romanced my momma to get to the money, wiped them out clean, left a mess behind. So I wrote that letter. I wrote it knowing one day I'd find him. But that ain't the sad part. When I was 19, I needed 6 grand to pay these guys off I was in trouble with. So I found a pretty lady with a dumb husband who had some money. And I got them to give it to me. How's that for a tragedy? I became the man I was hunting. Became Sawyer. Don't you feel sorry for me.

I never been to Disneyland.

Ah, that's just sad.

Kate Austen

I never wore pink.

Kate Austen

I knew it.

The '80's. I never voted democrat.

Kate Austen

I never voted.

I've never been in love.

Kate Austen

You've never been in love?

I ain't drinking, am I?

Kate Austen

I've never had a one night stand.

Kate Austen

Bottoms up, sailor.

I've gotta drink for each one.

Kate Austen

Your turn.

I've never been married.

Kate Austen

It didn't last very long. I never blamed a boar for all my problems.

I never cared about having carte blanche because I just wanted to spend some time with the only other person on this Island that just don't belong.

Kate Austen

I never carried a letter around for 20 years because I couldn't get over my baggage.

I never killed a man.

Well, looks like we got something in common, after all.

Christian Shephard

You know why they call Australia down under, don't you? Because it's as close as you can get to hell without being burned.

[to bartender] How about you leave the bottles? [to Christian] What'd you handle, back in the States?

Christian Shephard

I was a Chief of Surgery.

Was?

Christian Shephard

Yeah, was.

So, we're in hell, huh?

Christian Shephard

Don't let the air conditioning fool you, son. You are here, too. You are suffering. But, don't beat yourself up about it. It's fate. Some people are just supposed to suffer. That's why the Red Sox will never win the damn series. I have a son who's about your age. He's not like me, he does what's in his heart. He's a good man, maybe a great one. And right now, he thinks that I hate him. He thinks I feel betrayed by him. But what I really feel is gratitude, and pride because of what he did to me. What he did for me. It took more courage than I have. There's a pay phone over here. I could pick it up and I could call my son. I could tell him about all this. I could tell him that I love him. One simple phone call and I could fix everything.

Why don't you?

Christian Shephard

Because I am weak.

The man's got what I call an overzealous work ethic.

Michael Dawson

Try obsession. He wants off this Island bad, man.

Can't say I blame poor Kato. His lady speaks English all this time and he didn't have a clue? I'm surprised he didn't try to swim out of here.

Why are we listening to Arzt?

Leslie Arzt

Because I'm a doctor, and you're a hillbilly.

You're a damn high school science teacher.

Michael Dawson

Since the day you told me you wanted on this raft, I couldn't figure it out. Why does a guy who only cares about himself want to risk his life to save everyone else? The way I see it, there's only two choices -- you're either a hero or you want to die.

Well, I ain't no hero, Mike.

Libby Smith

How'd you get shot, anyway?

With a gun.

I want you to show me what you do. Show me what you do -- what you really do.

And what do I do?

Show me how to con people, Sawyer.
