Jack [to Locke]: Well, John, let me ask you this: we don't have a long term plan for the button, but we keep pushing it, don't we? Look, until we know who he is - whether or not he's telling the truth - we have to keep doing what we're doing. If you've got a better idea, let's hear it.
Gale [faintly, from his cell]: Why don't you let me go?
Claire, can I tell you a secret?
Yeah.
I'm going to miss you. I wish -- I wish you didn't have to go.
Maybe I don't have to go?
We've been through this, Claire. There's not enough vaccine for you and the baby.
Well, I'm not, I'm not sick.
Thank God. And once you've delivered you can go back to your friends and hopefully you'll stay that way.
What if I want to see the baby?
Hey, nobody's going to take him from you unless that's what you want. You have a choice. We're good people, Claire. We're a good family. But if you're going to trust us with your child I want you to be sure.
You are a prisoner because they are being careful. They are being careful because they believe you are lying.
BLBen Linus/Henry Gale
Why would I lie? They think I'm one of these others -- other what?
Please, stop talking, Henry. The first night I spent on this island I was dragged into the jungle by 2 men. They never spoke a word to me, nor I to them. I killed these men -- smashed in their head with a stone, felt their blood on my arms. I need you to know how sorry I am for this. I need you to know that I am back on the righteous path now. And that I regret my actions. I ask you for your forgiveness.
BLBen Linus/Henry Gale
Why are you telling me this?
Because I needed to tell someone.
BLBen Linus/Henry Gale
Is that true -- what you said about Hemingway?
You have good ears.
BLBen Linus/Henry Gale
You have thin doors.
You read Hemingway?
BLBen Linus/Henry Gale
Sure, guy ran with the bulls, fought in the Spanish Civil War, stuff I can wrap my brain around. This is I can't get through 5 pages of [indicating the Dostoevsky novel].
Well, Dostoevsky had his virtues, too. He was a genius, for one. Bullfighting isn't everything.
BLBen Linus/Henry Gale
So, which one are you?
I'm sorry?
BLBen Linus/Henry Gale
Are you the genius, or are you the guy who always feels like he's living in the shadow of a genius?
