Michael Dawson quotes from Lost

Michael

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalt! No! Waaaaaaaaaalt!

Michael Dawson

[to a toddler Walt] Hey little man, look, I guess I can't call you that -- I mean, because look how big you are. So, you and I -- well, we're not going to see each other for a while, Walt. But you are going to have a great life. I know your mommy, she's going to take real good care of you. And Brian is going to take good care of you, too. But, you know what? I just want you to know that no matter where you go that I -- that your daddy -- yeah, your daddy -- he loves you very, very much. And I always will. Always, okay.

Hurley

So, I was just looking inside the fuselage. It's pretty grim in there. You think we should do something about the, uh...

...b-o-d-y-s?

Michael Dawson

What are you spelling, man? "Bodies"?

Walt Lloyd

B-o-d-i-e-s.

Sayid

We can find food. There are plenty of things on this island we can use for sustenance.

Sawyer

And exactly how are we gonna find this sustenance?

Locke

We hunt.

Kate

How did you get that on the plane?

Locke

Checked it.

Jack

You either have very good aim, or very bad aim, Mr...

Michael

Locke. His name is Locke.

Jack

Okay Mr. Locke, what is it that we're hunting?

Locke

We know there are wild boar on the island. Razorbacks by the look of em. The ones that came into the camp last night were piglets, 100, 150 pounds each. Which means that there's a mother nearby. A 250 pound rat, with scimitar like tusks, a surly disposition, who'd love nothing more than to eviscerate anything that comes near it. Boar's usual mode of attack is to circle around and charge from behind so I figure it'll take at least three of us to distract her long enough for me to flank one of the piglets, pin it and slit its throat.

Sawyer

And you gave him his knife back?

Hurley

Welcome to the first and... hopefully last Island Open! It's two holes, for now, three par, and no waiting!

Jack

Hurley, you built... a golf course?

Hurley

Rich idiots fly to tropical islands all the time to whack balls around!

Michael

[incredulous] All the stuff we gotta deal with, man... this is what you've been wasting your time on?"

Hurley

Dudes... listen. Our lives suck! Everyone's nerves are stretched to the max! We're lost on an island, running from boars and monsters... freakin' polar bears!

Michael

Polar bears?

Charlie

You didn't hear about the polar bear?

Jack

This is bad.

Michael

Yeah. I mean, I know what I would do, but... this has gotta be your call.

Jack

All right... give me the 7 iron.

Michael

You're wasting your time, man. If you pick the lock on a Halliburton, I'll put you on my back and fly us to L.A.

Sawyer

You better find yourself a runway, Daddy. 'Cause there ain't a lock I can't pick.

John Locke

Michael, I know it's been difficult to bond with your son. You know why he's formed an attachment to me? Because I treat him like an adult. You still treat him like a boy.

Michael Dawson

He's 10 years old.

John Locke

He's been through more than most people in their entire lifetimes. Maybe you haven't spent enough time with him to see it, but he's different.

Michael Dawson

What did you say?

John Locke

And we're not back home, Michael. As long as we're here, I think Walt should be allowed to realize his potential.

Michael Dawson

Stay away from my son. And me.

Walt Lloyd

Am I being punished?

Michael Dawson

What? You think working with your old man is punishment? No, man, this us taking control of our destiny.

Walt Lloyd

Feels like punishment.

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.

Michael

You singing Bob Marley?

Sawyer

No. [little pause] Why? You like Bob Marley?

Michael

Man, who doesn't like Bob Marley?

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.

Tom Friendly

What's going on?! What are you folks doing this far out here?!

Michael Dawson

We were, we were -- the plane crashed! We were on the Island for a month, man!

Tom Friendly

Plane crash, huh? Well, how about that?

Michael Dawson

We were on an Island -- oh, flight 815 -- hey, where are we?!

Tom Friendly

Well, it's a good thing we found you.

Michael Dawson

Yeah, yeah, we survived and there's a whole group of people on the...

Tom Friendly

Well, ain't that something?

Michael Dawson

Yeah!

Tom Friendly

Only, the thing is, we're going to have to take the boy.

Michael Dawson

What? What'd you say?

Tom Friendly

The boy, we're going to have to take him.

Michael Dawson

Hey, what the hell's going on here? Who are you people?

Tom Friendly

Just give us the boy.

Michael Dawson

I'm not giving you anybody.

Tom Friendly

Well, alright then.

Michael

Well I guess I know why the shark is hanging around. Your shoulder.

Sawyer

Oh, well I'll just stop bleeding then.

Michael

Everything is cool. We had a talk and they believe we were on the plane too.

Sawyer

Swell. I guess we can all sue Oceanic together.
