Hugo Reyes quotes from Lost

I may be in a mental hospital, but I know you're dead and I'm not having an imaginary conversation with you.

Charlie Pace

I am dead. But I'm also here.

Miles Straume

Where the hell did they go, Tubby?

Oh, awesome. The ship sent us another Sawyer.

Miles Straume

What the hell are you doing, Tubby?

Checking to see if I'm disappearing.

Miles Straume

What?

"Back to the Future", man. We came back in time to the island and changed stuff. So if little Ben dies, he'll never grow up to be big Ben, who's the one who made us come back here in the first place. Which means we can't be here. And therefore, dude? We don't exist.

Miles Straume

You're an idiot.

So this conversation we're having right now...we already had it.

Miles Straume

Yes!

Then what am I gonna say next?

Miles Straume

I don't know.

Ha! Then your theory is wrong!

Miles Straume

For the thousandth time, you dingbat, the conversation already happened, but not for you and me. For you and me, it's happening right now.

Okay, answer me this. If all this already happened to me, then...why don't I remember any of it?

Miles Straume

Because once Ben turned that wheel, time isn't a straight line for us anymore. Our experiences in the past and the future occurred before these experiences right now.

Say that again.

Miles Straume

Shoot me. Please. Please!

Aha! I can't shoot you. Because if you die in 1977, then you'll never come back to the island on the freighter 30 years from now.

Miles Straume

I can die because I've already come to the island on the freighter. Any of us can die because this is our present.

But you said Ben couldn't die because he still has to grow up and become the leader of the Others.

Miles Straume

Because this is his past.

But when we first captured Ben, and Sayid, like, tortured him, then why wouldn't he remember getting shot by that same guy when he was a kid?

Miles Straume

[beat] Huh. I hadn't thought of that.

Huh.

I used to hate my dad, too.

Miles Straume

Yeah?

He left when I was 10. But the best thing I ever did was give him a second chance. We got to be the best of friends, and although I may never see him again, I miss him. And I know he feels the same.

Miles Straume

My dad didn't leave when I was 10. I--I was a baby. I never knew him. And I don't want to. It's not happening.

That was Luke's attitude, too.

Miles Straume

What?

In Empire, Luke found out Vader was his father, but instead of putting away his lightsaber and talking about it, he overreacted and got his hand cut off. I mean, they worked it out eventually, but at what cost? Another Death Star was destroyed, Boba Fett got eaten by the Sarlacc, and we got the Ewoks. It all could've been avoided if they'd just, you know, communicated. And let's face it. The Ewoks sucked, dude.

Pierre Chang

Your friend Faraday said that you were from the future. I need to know if he was telling the truth.

Dude, that's ridiculous.

Pierre Chang

What year were you born? What year?

Uh... 1931?

Pierre Chang

You're 46?

Yeah. Yes, I am.

Pierre Chang

So you fought in the Korean War?

[beat] There's... no such thing.

Pierre Chang

Who's the President of the United States?

[beat] All right, dude, we're from the future. Sorry.

This is cool, dude. Very old school.

Jack Shephard

What?

You know, you and me trekking through the jungle, on our way to do something that we don't quite understand. Good times.

Richard Alpert

A while back, Jacob told me what the Island was, and if he's really standing here right next to me, then just ask him.

I don't have to prove anything to you, Richard. You either come with me or you can keep trying to blow stuff up. Your call, dude.

Richard Alpert

He's lying. Jacob isn't telling us what to do. Because Jacob never tells us what to do. I'm going to make this simple. If that thing leaves the island, that's it. I-it's over.

Miles Straume

What's over?

Richard Alpert

Everything.
