Frank Lapidus quotes from Lost

What's his story?

Frank Lapidus

Daniel?

Yeah.

Frank Lapidus

Couldn't tell ya. Half the stuff he says goes way over my head; the other half goes way, way over.

We're gonna have to lie.

Sayid Jarrah

Lie about what?

Everything, all of it, every moment since we crashed on the island.

Frank Lapidus

Jack... now I know I'm new to this group and everything, but isn't this the place where everybody starts jumping up and down and hugging each other?

Your freighter... those men came to the island to kill us, all of us. You said that our plane was discovered on the bottom of the ocean. Well, someone put it there--someone who wants everyone to think that we're dead. So what do you think's gonna happen to us when we tell them that that wasn't our plane? What do you think's gonna happen to the people that we left behind?

Kate Austen

Jack, we can't. We can't pull it off.

Just let me do the talking.

Dude they'll find out.

Not if we stick to the story.

Sayid

I don't know, Jack. It could be a risk.

It's the only way. We have to do this.

Lapidus

You're still at it, huh?

Look, we're running out of time. We've got to make a decision now. So are we all okay with this?

Sayid

This is a decision that will affect the rest of our lives. I'm not taking it lightly.

Kate?

Kate

Yeah.

Sun?

[Sun nods]

Frank?

Lapidus

What?

Sorry you got dragged into this, but we need to know that you're with us.

Lapidus

Whatever you guys decide, I'll just roll with.

Hurley, what about you?

I don't think we should lie dude.

We need to protect the people that we left behind, Hurley.

How does lying protect them?

It protects them from Charles Widmore. The guy hired a boatload of people to kill all of us. He faked the plane crash, and you think telling him the truth he's just gonna.. he's gonna leave them alone?

[To Penny] Look he's your dad right? Can't you just like.. call him off?

PPenny

There's no calling my father off.

But, he'll never find 'em. I mean the Island disappeared, we all saw it, it's gone... BLUP!

You thing anyone's gonna believe that? Believe any of it? They're gonna think you're crazy.

Unless someone backs me up.

[He looks at Sayid]

Sayid, come on. They'll think I'm nuts if I tell the truth but what if we all do? I mean if we can stick together, we can make 'em believe us. I don't wanna spend the rest of my life lying, do you?!

Sayid

No, but I don't believe we have a better choice... I'm sorry Hurley but we have to lie.

You know what dude? I'm gonna remember this. And some day you're gonna need my help and I'm telling you right now... You're not getting it.

[Jack and Frank, who is the pilot of Ajira Flight 316]

Frank

Well. Hello, Doc. Small world. What are you doing going to Guam?

What are you doing here, Frank?

Frank

Well, I picked this gig up about eight months ago. I fly this route all the time. Sometimes I take the big birds into New [looks up and sees Sayid]...Delhi. Is that Sayid? [sees Hurley] And Hurley. [sees Kate, then Sun] Wait a second...We're not going to Guam, are we?

S5 E6 316

View quote →

[Commercial airliner Ajura Airlines Flight 316 is flying through a night sky through some thick dark coloured clouds. Inside the plane; Jack, Ben, Kate, Hurley, Sayid and Sun all sit in first class waiting to be returned to the island. In the cockpit pilot Frank Lapidus is enerved by the situation after seeing Jack and all the rest of the Oceanic Six on board the plane. Sitting next to him is a co-pilot who is monitoring the planes dials]

CPCo-Pilot

Do you want to hear something crazy?

FRANK

Yeah. What's that?

CPCo-Pilot

Did you see the big guy; who got on in L.A.? Sitting in first class, curly hair, guitar case?

Frank

What about him?

CPCo-Pilot

He's one of the Oceanic 6. The guy must have nerves of steel, man. He survives a full on commercial airliner crash now he's flying over the same South Pacific.

Frank

Yeah, well. Maybe he doesn't believe lightning will strike twice in the same place.

[The co-pilot smiles at Frank when suddenly a severe case of turbalance strikes the plane rocking it for several seconds. Frank appears nervous. A few seconds later the turbalance subsides. The co-pilot looks over at Frank]

CPCo-Pilot

You all right there Frank?

Frank

I'm just fine.

Frank

Sun?!

Frank.

Frank

Sun. You alright?

[Sun scans the cabin noticing the mess and that the rest of the Oceanic Six have disappeared]

Oh my God! What happened?

Frank

I don't know.

[Pause]

Frank

Where's everyone else? Jack? Kate? Hurley? Sayid? Where'd they all go?

[Ben Linus suddenly appears behind Frank]

Ben

They're gone!

Frank

Gone? Gone where?

Ben

How would I know?

The place is derserted and falling apart. suddenly the wind picks up blowing the trees and errie whispers are heard. Sun and Frank turn to and look as the light in the Dharma processing building comes on. They exchange uneasy glances as the door creaks open to reveal Jack's father Christian Shepard]

Hello.

Frank

Who the hell are you?

My name is Christian.

I'm looking for my husband. His name is Jin Kwon. Do you know where he is?

Follow me...

[Christian re-enters the dilapidated Dharma Processing Centre and Sun follows. A nervous Frank follows after Sun. Inside; Christian shines a torch on several pictures looking for one to show Sun]

What is this place?

Seventy two, Seventy six, Seventy eight...

Where is my husband?

Ah! Here we go. Seventy seven. [Removes the picture from the wall] He's um, he's with your friends.

What are you talking about? What friends?

[Christian walks over to Sun and Frank as the wind begins to blow strongly outside causing the door to open. He hands Sun the picture and shines the torch on it so that both Sun and Frank can see it]
