Professor Daniel Faraday quotes from Lost

Are you ever gonna take us off this island?

Daniel Faraday

No.

S4 E9 The Shape of Things to Come

View quote →

First things first. Give me your shirt.

Daniel

My shirt?

Yeah.

Daniel

I really think we have far more pressing matters then me giving you a shirt. How about we just keep moving, okay?

How about we call a time out so you can tell us what the hell's going on?

Daniel

How about you trust me?

Trust you? I don't even know you!

Daniel

We really do not have time for me to try to explain. You have no idea how difficult that would be for me to try to explain this-this phenomenon to a quantum physicist. That would be difficult. So for me to try to explain whatevers happened-

[Sawyer slaps Daniel]

Charlotte

Oy! What the bloody hell do you think you're doing?

Shut it, ginger, or you're getting one too. Now talk.

Daniel

This island... Think of the island like a record spinning on a turntable. Only now, that record is skipping. Whatever Ben Linus did down at the Orchard station... I think it may have... dislodged us.

Dislodged us from what?

Daniel

... Time.

Daniel Faraday

So... you speak any other languages?

Charlotte Lewis

Just Klingon.

[1974 - Sawyer and Juliet step out of some foliage to find Daniel Faraday kneeling alone and crying in the jungle.]

Daniel

[muttering] Not gonna tell... I'm not gonna tell...

[whispering to Juliet] Where's Red?

I dont know.

[Juliet walks over to Faraday and stoops down to talk to him. Sawyer, Miles and Jin hang back.]

Daniel

[mutters indistinctly] No. I won't do it. I won't tell her. I won't do it. Won't...

Daniel? Are you okay?

Daniel

I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna tell her.

Daniel, where's Charlotte?

Daniel

[Voice breaking] She's not here. She... She's gone.

Where?

Daniel

She's... dead. She's dead. There was another flash, and... and she was... she was just gone.

[Juliet nods sympathetically.]

Daniel

Her... body just... [crying] disappeared. She moved on, and we stayed.

I'm so sorry.

Hold on. Wait a minute. We "stayed"? We're not traveling through time anymore? You saying it's over?

Daniel

Of course it's over. Wherever we are now... whenever we are now... we're here for good. :[To Juliet, or perhaps to himself] I won't do it.

Okay. Okay.

Daniel

I won't. I'm not gonna--I'm--I'm...

Okay.

Daniel

I'm not gonna--I w--I won't.

Okay. [pats Dan on head] Okay.

[Juliet stands up and goes back towards Sawyer]

Daniel

...Tell...

Okay. Swell. Until Dan checks back in, I say we head back to the beach. When Locke gets back with everybody, that's where they'll be looking for us.

The beach? What, you didn't get enough flaming arrows shot at you? And your camp is gone. Why bother?

Sawyer's right, Miles. We should go back to the beach. We survived there before. We can do it again.

[To nobody in particular] Or maybe when we get there, you'll--you'll wanna go back to the Orchid again. And then when that gets boring, we can head back to the beach. It's the only two plans you people have.

Jin

Daniel... No more flash?

Daniel

No. No more flash. The record is spinning again. We're just not on the song we wanna be on.

[There is a knock at Jack's house. Jack opens the door and Faraday bursts in with Miles]

Faraday

Hey Jack, how did you get back? How did you do it, how did you get back to the island?

Dan, wow....where have you been?

Dan

I've been at Dharma Headquarters in Ann Arbor, I was doing some research, but whats more important right now, how did you get back here, to 1977?

[Jack looks over at Miles]

What's going on?

Hey don't look at me, I just carried his luggage.

Faraday

Jack. How?

We were on a plane and then...

Faraday

And who told you to get on that plane?

As a matter of fact Daniel it was your mother.

[Dan nods]

Faraday

And how did she convince you Jack? Did she tell you it was your destiny?

Yeah thats exactly what she said.

Faraday

Well I got some bad news for you Jack, you don't belong here at all. She was wrong.

[Sawyer holds a meeting to discuss what the survivors should do next before their true identities are discovered by Dharma. Suddenly there's a knock at the front door]

Hold your horses, I'll be right there.

[Sawyer picks up and cocks a handgun, placing it behind his back as he opens the door which he opens to reveal Dan and Miles]

Faraday

Hey James.

Welcome to the meeting Twitchy. Good to see you again. Come in, pound cake's in the kitchen, help yourself to the punch.

[Dan enters the house. Miles starts to follow. Saywer pulls him to one side]

Is he still crazy?

It's on a whole new level man.

[Sarcastically] Great!

[In flashback to mid-late 2004, Faraday is being looked after by a carer in his flat while he is watching footage informing the public that the wreckage of Flight 815 has been found in the Sunda Trench]

OTOn TV

These pictures come from a research vessel off the coast of Indonesia...

FSFaraday's Carer

How do want your eggs Dan?

[Dan is crying at the footage being shown on the TV]

FSFaraday's Carer

Dan whats the matter? Why are you so upset?

Faraday

I don't know...

[There is a knock at the door, Dan's carer goes to answer, Charles Widmore enters]

FSFaraday's Carer

Hello come in. Can I get you a cup of tea?

Thank you that would be nice.

FSFaraday's Carer

Dan you have a visitor.

[Faraday gets out of his chair and in a confused manner he shakes Widmore's hand]

Hello Daniel.

Faraday

[Almost in tears] Er...Hello. I'm sorry sir I don't remember...I have a condition that effects my memory and...

Don't be embarrased Daniel, weve never met. I'm Charles Widmore.

Faraday

Charles Widmore? Charles Widmore from my research grant?

Yes.

Faraday

Its nice to meet you at last, I kept meaning to come and see you but I got a bit...take a seat.

Thank you.

[They sit]

Faraday

I just want you to know that I tested it on myself first. I would never hurt Teresa.

It's alright Daniel I'm not here because of that. I want to offer you a new opportunity.

Faraday

Really?

Yes.

[Dan stares back at the footage of the wreckage of 815 on the TV and starts to cry]

Daniel. Whats making you so upset?

Faraday

It's this plane crash. All those poor people...and their families. They're dead!

What if I was to tell you Daniel that they're not dead. What if I told you that that plane they have found is an elaborate and expensive hoax.

Faraday

How would you know that?

I know Daniel because I'm the one that put it there.

Faraday

Why would you tell me that?

I told you Daniel because come tomorrow you're not likely to remember.

[The pair continue to discuss the crash and Widmore offers Dan the chance to go to the island on the frighter]

[Faraday enters The Others/The Hostiles camp alone while Jack and Kate watch from behind some trees]

Faraday

Nobody move. I only want to speak to Eloise. Where is Eloise? Come on! Where is she?

I'm sorry but Elo..

[Faraday points his handgun to Richards head]

She's not here right now. Do we know each other?

Faraday

It doesn't matter. I need you to take me to Eloise.

I already told you that she's not here, so why don't we just...

Faraday

Wheres the bomb Richard?

[Richard looks confused]

Faraday

The Hydrogen Bomb I told your people to bury. Where is it?

Listen to me, lower your gun and we'll talk ok? Nobody has to get hurt here. Just put the gun down.

Faraday

I'm going to give you three seconds...One...

Don't do this.

Faraday

Two...Thr...

[A gun goes off. Faraday looks down - He's been shot. Richard drops the mug he was holding and heads foward learning over a dying Faraday. As Dan falls it is revealed that he has been shot by his mother Eloise]

Why did you do that?

Eloise Hawking

He had a gun on you.

He wasn't going to shoot me, Eloise.

[A dying Faraday looks up at his young mother]

Faraday

You knew... that's why you sent me back here... You knew!

Eloise Hawking

Who are you?

Faraday

I'm your.. son. [Faraday dies.]

Daniel, the real Oceanic Flight 815 crashed on an island--a special island with unique scientific properties. I want to send you to the Island. It will further your research, show you things you'd never dream of. But more importantly, it will heal you, Daniel--your mind, your memory.

Daniel Faraday

H--heal me? W--why are you doing all this for me?

Because you're a man of tremendous gifts, and it would be a shame to see them go to waste.

Daniel Faraday

You sound like my mother.
