Tom Friendly quotes from Lost

Tom

No self-respecting man in Iowa goes anywhere without beer.

Tom Friendly

[to Michael] Hey there, Michael. [Michael spits in his face] Not going to hold that against you. Fair's fair. I took your boy. But don't do that again, okay?

Tom Friendly

[to Michael] Manhattan, huh? We let you leave one island, you just go to another one.

Tom Friendly

[to Michael] How was your trip? I figure flying can't be too much fun for you.

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.

Tom Friendly

Just sit down, Jack. Nobody's going to hurt you. I come in peace.

John Locke

How do you know our names?

Jack Shephard

You took Walt.

Tom Friendly

Walt's fine. He's a very special boy.

Jack Shephard

Look, you said you wanted to talk. Talk.

Tom Friendly

Let me ask you something. How long you been here on the island?

Jack Shephard

50 days.

Tom Friendly

Oooo, 50 days. That's what, almost 2 whole months, huh? Tell me, you go over a man's house for the first time, do you take off your shoes? Do you put your feet up on his coffee table? Do you walk in the kitchen, eat food that doesn't belong to you? [to Locke] Open the door to rooms you got no business opening? [to all] You know, somebody a whole lot smarter than anybody here once said: "Since the dawn of our species man's been blessed with curiosity." You know the other one about curiosity, don't you, Jack? This is not your island. This is our island. And the only reason you're living on it...is 'cause we let you live on it.

Jack Shephard

[smiling] I don't believe you.

Tom Friendly

You don't believe what?

Jack Shephard

I think you've got one guy up there with a gun. I think there's more of us than there are of you. I think if you had any real strength, you wouldn't have had to send a spy -- Ethan.

Tom Friendly

That's an interesting theory. [raising his arms and yelling] Light 'em up!

Tom Friendly

We've got a misunderstanding, Jack -- your people, my people. So listen carefully. Right here, there's a line. You cross that line, we go from misunderstanding to something else. Now, give me your weapons, turn around, go home.

Jack Shephard

No.

John Locke

Jack, maybe...

Jack Shephard

No!

Tom Friendly

I hoped it wouldn't come to this. [yelling] Bring her out, Alex!

Tom Friendly

She was following you. Like I said -- curiosity.

Tom Friendly

[to Sawyer] Don't. [to Jack] Jack, the decision you gotta make right now is this -- can you live with the fact that I shot this woman right in front of you when you could have saved her life by giving up and going home? Or are you going to give me your guns, turn around and walk away. It's your call, Jack.

Tom

Hey, you got yourself a fish biscuit! How'd you do that?

Sawyer

Figured out your complicated gizmos, thats how.

Tom

It only took the bears two hours.

Sawyer

How many of 'em were there?

Jack

Tell me

Kate

Tell you?

Jack

The first day on the beach, the day of the crash, the story that I told you. If you're safe, tell me.

Tom

Do you think this is the best time?

Jack

Shut up!

Kate

You were doing surgery on a girl, and you messed up. You made a mistake. You tore something on her back, and all the nerves came loose. And you said the fear was so... real. And you didn't know what to do. So you counted to five.. [Kate starts to cry] And then you weren't afraid anymore. And then it was just gone. And you fixed her, you saved her.

Jack

(after a pause) I need you to make me a promise, Kate.

Kate

Jack-

Jack

Promise me that you'll never come back here for me. Don't come back, Kate.

Tom

Ben's awake...

Juliet

How?

Tom

Shephard said he's a spinal surgeon, not an anesthesiologist.

Tom Friendly

What kind of people do you think we are, Jack?

Jack Shephard

Oh, I don't know, Tom -- the kind of people that would take a pregnant woman -- that would hang Charlie from a tree -- would drag our people out of the jungle -- would kidnap children. That's the kind of people I think you are.

Tom Friendly

[tapping the glass] You see this glass house you're living in, Jack? How about I get you some stones?

Jack Shephard

Who's that woman?

Tom Friendly

That'd be the sheriff.

Jack Shephard

You have a sheriff?

Tom Friendly

[exasperated] Not literally, Jack.

Ben

Not so long ago, Jack, I made a decision that took the lives of over forty people in a single day. I'm telling you this because history is about to repeat itself, right here, right now.

Jack

Let me guess you've got us surrounded and if I don't do what you say you're gonna, you're gonna kill all of my people?

Ben

No, Jack, you are.

Jack

[Laughs] And how am I going do that, Ben?

Ben

The woman you've been traveling with. The one who parachuted onto the island from that helicopter. She's not who she says she is.

Jack

She's not, huh?

Ben

No she's not.

Jack

Then who is she?

Ben

She's a representative of some people who've been trying to find this island, Jack. She's one of the bad guys.

Jack

Oh, I almost forgot, you're the, you're the good guys.

Ben

Jack listen to me. If you phone her boat, every single living person on this island will be killed. So here's what has to happen. Get that device, that phone she carries with her, and give it to me. I will turn around, we'll walk back to my people, you will turn around and walk back to your people.

Jack

I'm not going anywhere.

Ben

May I have my walkie talkie back?

Jack

What?

Ben

There's something you need to hear. Please?

Ben

Tom are you there?

Tom

Yes I'm here.

Ben

[To Jack] Your plan killed seven of my people, but the ones you failed to kill are now holding your friends: Jin, Sayid, Bernard, at gunpoint.

Sayid

Jack, don't give him anything.

Bernard

Leave him alone!

Ryan

I said shut up!

Jack

And what's to stop me from snapping your neck?

Ben

Tom unless you hear my voice in one minute, shoot all three of them.

Tom

Got it.

Ryan

I said don't move.

Ben

Bring me the phone, Jack.

Sayid

Don't negotiate with him-

Ben

Forty Five seconds.

Jack

No. I'm getting them all of the island. All of them!

Ben

Let me ask you something, Jack. Why do you wanna leave the Island? What is it that you so desperately want to get back to? You have no one. Your father's dead, your wife left you, moved on with another man. Can you just not wait to get back to the hospital? Get back to fixing things? It's twenty seconds now. Just get me the phone, Jack.

Jack

No.

Ben

Ten seconds. Bring me the phone.

Jack

No.

Ben

I'm not bluffing!

Jack

I WON'T DO IT!

Ben

Five. Four. Three.

Jack

No.

Ben

I'm so sorry, Jack.

Jack

Tom are you there?

Tom

Yeah, Jack, I hear ya.

Jack

I'm going to lead my people up to the radio tower. And I'm going to make a call and get them all rescued. Every one of them. And then I'm gonna come find you. And I'm gonna kill ya.

Ryan Pryce

It was an order, Tom, we had to follow it.

Tom Friendly

Ben doesn't know what the hell he's talking about, he's lost it! I mean look at what they did to us. Instead of putting three bullets in the damned sand, we should have killed them for real.
