“Walkabout” quotes from Lost

Jack

Everyone who was in the rear of the plane is dead.

Rose

They're probably thinking the same thing about us.

Sayid

We can find food. There are plenty of things on this island we can use for sustenance.

Sawyer

And exactly how are we gonna find this sustenance?

Locke

We hunt.

Kate

How did you get that on the plane?

Locke

Checked it.

Jack

You either have very good aim, or very bad aim, Mr...

Michael

Locke. His name is Locke.

Jack

Okay Mr. Locke, what is it that we're hunting?

Locke

We know there are wild boar on the island. Razorbacks by the look of em. The ones that came into the camp last night were piglets, 100, 150 pounds each. Which means that there's a mother nearby. A 250 pound rat, with scimitar like tusks, a surly disposition, who'd love nothing more than to eviscerate anything that comes near it. Boar's usual mode of attack is to circle around and charge from behind so I figure it'll take at least three of us to distract her long enough for me to flank one of the piglets, pin it and slit its throat.

Sawyer

And you gave him his knife back?

Jack

[To Sawyer about Locke's hunting] Well if you've gotta better idea?

Sawyer

Better than the three of us wandering into the magic forest to bag a hunk of ham with nothing but little bitty hunting knife? Hell no it's the best idea I ever heard. [Locke reveals his suitcase full of hunting knives.]

Hurley

Who is this guy?

Jack

We don't have time to sort out everybody's God.

Charlie

Really? Last I heard we were positively made of time.

Shannon

The ocean's full of fish.

Boone

Hate to break it to you...the ocean's not gonna take your gold card.

Locke

Hey, hey! Don't you walk away from me! You don't know who you're dealing with! Don't ever tell me what I can't do, ever! This is destiny. This is destiny. This is my destiny. This is -- I'm supposed to do this dammit! Don't tell me what I can't do. DON'T TELL ME WHAT I CAN'T...

What is it with you, Locke? Why do you torture yourself? I mean, imagining you're some hunter? Walkabouts? Wake up, you can't do any of that.

John Locke

Norman Croucher.

What? Norman what?

John Locke

Norman Croucher. Norman Croucher, double amputee, no legs. He climbed to the top of Mt. Everest. Why? It was his destiny.

That's what you think you've got, old man? Destiny?

John Locke

Just don't tell me what I can't do.

The Walkabouts we arrange here are not just some stroll through the park. It's trekking across vast stretches of desert, rafting bloody treacherous waters--

John Locke

Look, you've got no idea who you're talking to. I'm well aware of what's involved, believe me. I probably know more than you on the subject.

In any case, it's a trying ordeal for someone in peak physical condition, let alone--

John Locke

Look, I booked this tour a month ago, you've already got my money. Now, I demand a place on that bus.

You misrepresented yourself--

John Locke

I never lied.

By omission, Mr. Locke! You neglected to tell us about your condition.

John Locke

My condition is not an issue. I've lived with it for 4 years. It's never kept me from doing anything.

Look, unfortunately it is an issue for our insurance company. I can't keep the bus waiting any longer. It isn't fair to the other people.

John Locke

Hey, don't talk to me about fair!

I can get you on a plane back to Sydney on our dime. That's the best I can do.

John Locke

No. I don't want to go back to Sydney. Look I've been preparing for this for years. Just put me on the bus, right now, I can do this.

No, you can't.

John Locke

Hey, hey, don't you walk away from me.

John Locke

You don't know who you're dealing with! Don't ever tell me what I can't do, ever! This is destiny. This is destiny. This is my destiny. [yelling] I'm supposed to do this, dammit! Don't tell me what I can't do! Don't tell me what I can't...
