“Confidence Man” · Season 1, Episode 8

In this episode: Sawyer Ford (4), Kate Austen (3), Dr. Jack Shephard (2), James Ford (2), Sayid Jarrah (1), Boone Carlyle (1)

[Trying to get Shannon's inhalers] You attacked a kid for trying to help his sick sister.

No, I whooped a thief 'cause he was going through my stuff--

Yours? What makes it yours?

--which I had to move because everybody wants to help themselves.

You can just take something out of a suitcase, and that makes it yours?

Look, I don't know what kind of commie share-fest you're running over in cave town, but down here possession's nine-tenths and a man's got a right to protect his property.

Get up!

Why, you wanna see who's taller?

I said get up!

[to Jack] You've been waiting for this, haven't you? Now you get to be a hero again, 'cause that's what you do. You fix everything up all nice. [to Kate] Time to let go Freckles. We already made out. What else I got to live for? Hey, Jack, there's something you should know. If the tables were turned...I'd watch you die.

[about Shannon's asthma] She's been embarrassed about it since she was a kid. I guess breathing isn't cool.

Are you serious?

Baby, I am tied to a tree in the jungle of mystery. I just got tortured by a damn spinal surgeon and a genuine Iraqi. Of course I'm serious.

[to Kate about the letter] I became the man I was hunting. I became Sawyer. Don't you feel sorry for me.

We do not have bamboo in Iraq, although we do have something similar -- reeds. But their effect is the same when the shoots are inserted underneath the fingernails.

JFJames "Sawyer" Ford

You know what I think, Ali. I think you've never actually tortured anybody in your life.

Unfortunately for us both, you're wrong.

This letter wasn't written to you. You wrote this letter. Your name's not Sawyer, is it?

JFJames "Sawyer" Ford

It was his name. He was a confidence man. Romanced my momma to get to the money, wiped them out clean, left a mess behind. So I wrote that letter. I wrote it knowing one day I'd find him. But that ain't the sad part. When I was 19, I needed 6 grand to pay these guys off I was in trouble with. So I found a pretty lady with a dumb husband who had some money. And I got them to give it to me. How's that for a tragedy? I became the man I was hunting. Became Sawyer. Don't you feel sorry for me.
