Eko quotes from Lost

Don't mistake coincidence for fate.

How many of the statues do you have? The Virgin Mary statues?

Yemi

I have 300.

I will take all of them. I guess we are both sinners now.

Yemi

Perhaps we are. But God will forgive me Eko.

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.

Locke

[to Eko] If the alarm goes off, don't tell [Henry Gale] what it's for.

...What is it for?

Ana-Lucia

What are you building?

Well, hello Ana.

Ana-Lucia

Hello yourself. So are you going to tell me? What is it?

I'm building a church.

Ana-Lucia

(folds arms) Now why in the hell would you wanna do that?

Because I was told to.

Ana-Lucia

Told to by who?

I was just told. I think it was in a dream.

Ana-Lucia

A dream like this one? (Ana-Lucia is shown bloody from when Michael shot her)

Ana-Lucia

You need to help John.

The question mark, John; where is it?

Locke

You know what? You keep chasing after your own shadow.

I know you don't want to show me, but you must.

Locke

No, I don't have to show you anything.

Then I'm sorry.

Locke

You're lost already?

Your map is inexact.

Locke

No kidding.

Your map is inexact. These landmarks... is this a river?

Locke

No, it's a wavy line. I didn't draw it, I just transcribed it. I told you, I don't even know if it is a map.

Let's assume it is.

Locke

What's the axe for?

I don't know yet.

Locke

Boone. Boone made it fall. Then he died. A sacrifice that the island demanded.

What?

Locke

Nothing.

Do you want to watch that again?

Locke

No... No, I've seen enough.

Locke

What are you doing?

I'm taking this back with us.

Locke

Why?

Because they may be important.

Locke

Important? I'm sorry, weren't you watching the same thing I was?

Yes, and I believe the work you have been doing is more important now than ever.

Locke

Work?

Pushing the button.

Locke

That's not work! That's a joke. Rats, in a maze, with no cheese.

We are being tested.

Locke

Tested?

The reason to do it, pushing the button, is not because we are told so in the film.

Locke

Well, then what is the reason, Mr. Eko?

We do it because we believe we are meant to. Isn't that the reason you pushed it, John?

Locke

I was never... meant to do anything! Every single second of my pathetic little life is as useless as that button! You think it's important? You think it's necessary? It's nothing, it's meaningless; and who are you to tell me that it's not?

Locke

[wakes up after being knocked down by Eko] You hit me... Why would you...?

Because you were being difficult.

Locke

Are you insane?

Yes, I am ready. I ask for no forgiveness, Father, for I have not sinned. I have only done what I needed to do to survive. A small boy once asked me if I was a bad man. If I could answer him now, I would tell him that when I was a young boy, I killed a man to save my brother's life. I am not sorry for this. I am proud of this. I did not ask for the life I was given, but it was given nonetheless, and with it, I did my best.

Yemi

You speak to me as if I was your brother.
