Claire Littleton quotes from Lost

Claire Littleton

I'm pregnant, single, and on an Island in the middle of nowhere.

Claire Littleton

[to Locke] Charlie read me the riot act last night for waking him. And as mad as it made me -- turns out he was right. You know, it's like we're playing mum and dad to this baby. Yet, I don't remember marrying him.

Charlie

So, your, uh... your husband, was he on the flight?

Claire

Oh, no, I'm not married.

Charlie

Oh.

Claire

I know. How modern of me.

Charlie

Well, who needs men, right? Bloody useless.

Jack Shephard

That must have been a hell of a nightmare.

Claire Littleton

Who said it was a nightmare?

Jack Shephard

I'd say when someone makes their fists so tight they dig their fingernails a quarter of an inch into their palm they probably weren't dreaming about riding ponies.

Claire

I remember peanut butter. Why do I remember peanut butter?

Charlie

It was imaginary peanut butter, actually.

Claire Littleton

What do you suppose all that's about?

Charlie Pace

I reckon Jack's going to do something heroic.

Do you know what baptism is?

Claire

It's what gets you into heaven.

It is said that when John the Baptist baptized Jesus the skies opened up and a dove flew down from the sky. This told John something -- that he had cleansed this man of all his sins. That he had freed him. Heaven came much later.

Claire Littleton

Charlie came by my tent before and told me Aaron had to be baptized -- he was in danger.

John Locke

My understanding is that baptism is about making sure that children get into heaven -- should anything happen. Call it spiritual insurance. There isn't any danger, Claire. Charlie is just...[Locke looks in pack and sees the Virgin Mary statues]...Charlie just feels like he has to save the baby because he can't save himself.

Ethan Rom

Claire, can I tell you a secret?

Claire Littleton

Yeah.

Ethan Rom

I'm going to miss you. I wish -- I wish you didn't have to go.

Claire Littleton

Maybe I don't have to go?

Ethan Rom

We've been through this, Claire. There's not enough vaccine for you and the baby.

Claire Littleton

Well, I'm not, I'm not sick.

Ethan Rom

Thank God. And once you've delivered you can go back to your friends and hopefully you'll stay that way.

Claire Littleton

What if I want to see the baby?

Ethan Rom

Hey, nobody's going to take him from you unless that's what you want. You have a choice. We're good people, Claire. We're a good family. But if you're going to trust us with your child I want you to be sure.

Desmond

You've got a problem with your roof.

Claire

What?

Desmond

Look, maybe you should move down the beach for the night so we can fix it.

Charlie

Anyone want to venture a guess as to what Jack is going to be showing us out in the middle of nowhere?

Hurley

I don't know... stuff--probably secret stuff.

Charlie

Why does everything have to be such a secret? How about some openness for a change?

Hurley

We kept the parachute lady secret.

Charlie

Ah, that's different.

Claire

Different, how?

Charlie

Well, because we weren't out there playing football with them.

The Man In Black

[to Jin and Claire] I hope I'm not interrupting anything?

Jin

John?

Claire

That's not John silly. That's my friend.

Claire

Why do I have to do it. You could've gotten Sawyer or Jin...Or you could do it yourself?

The Man In Black

If I could do it, I wouldn't be asking you.

Claire

I want what you promised. I want my son back.

The Man In Black

I always do what I say.

Claire

You're going to kill them aren't you?

The Man In Black

Only those that won't listen.

Kate

Is this where you lived?

Claire

Yeah.

Kate

What is that?

Claire

[Sadly] It's all I had...

The Man In Black

Is there something wrong, Claire?

Claire

Um... what you said to Jin... about the names on the wall? You told him you needed them all to get off the island?

The Man In Black

Yes I did.

Claire

So... was my name on the wall?

The Man In Black

Nope!

Claire

Then it doesn't matter if I get on that plane then. You don't really need me do you?

The Man In Black

That's not true, Claire. I need you. And there's plenty of room on that plane for all of us.

Claire

When we go home, Aaron's not going to know me. I'll be a stranger to my own son. He thinks Kate's his mother...Was her name on the wall?

The Man In Black

No it isn't. Not anymore. But I need Kate.

Claire

Why?

The Man In Black

Because Claire, I'm three people shy of getting off this island and Kate can help me get those people on the plane. But... once she does... then whatever happens, happens.
