Charles Widmore quotes from Lost

Widmore

I'm sorry to do this to you, but you are going to have to make a sacrifice.

Desmond

Yeah, and what would you know about sacrifice?

Widmore

My son is dead. My daughter hates me. And I have never even met my grandson. I know quite a bit.

Desmond Hume

Sacrifice? What the bloody Hell do you know about sacrifice?

Charles Widmore

My son died here for the sake of this island. Your wife - my own daughter - hates me. And I've never even met my grandson. But if you won't help me, Desmond, all of it will be for nothing. Penny, your son, and everyone else, will be gone forever.

Charles Widmore

You heard of a band called Drive Shaft?

Desmond Hume

No, can't say I have.

Charles Widmore

Their bass guitarist overdosed and uh, got himself arrested. And now, if I don't get this junkie to my wife's event she will, simply put, destroy me.

Ben

Sorry, Charles.

The Man in Black

What a pleasant surprise. How nice to finally talk to you without those fences between us.[Looks to Zoe] And who might you be?

Zoe, my name is Zoe--

Widmore

Don't talk to him. Don't say anything!

Widmore

Why would you do that?

The Man in Black

You told her not to talk to me. That made her pointless. Now... Charles, it's clear you're not afraid to die. So there's only one way to motivate you to tell me what I want to know. Soon this will all be over. I'll get what I want. And I'll finally leave this Island. And when I do, the first thing I'm gonna do is kill your daughter. Penny.

Widmore

You'll kill her whether I talk to you or not.

The Man in Black

No, I won't. I give you my word.

Widmore

And I'm supposed to just take your word?

The Man in Black

You tell me why you came back here and I will not hurt your daughter.

Widmore

I brought Desmond Hume back here because of his unique resistance to electromagnetism. He was a measure of last resort.

The Man in Black

What do you mean "last resort?"

Widmore

[Looks at Ben] I'm not saying any more in front of him.

The Man in Black

Well than whisper to me.

Ben

He doesn't get to save his daughter.

The Man in Black

Ben...You never cease to amaze me. Fortunately, he already told me what I needed to know. So, no harm done.

Ben

Good...Did you say there were some other people to kill?
