[Charlie and Hurley are ransacking Sawyer's stash]
Dude, I don't know about this.
See, you're looking at this all wrong. He would want us to do this.
He'd want us to ransack his tent and take his stash? Yeah, that sounds exactly like Sawyer.
Well, he stole all this in the first place. I mean, people need food, they need medical supplies, they need... [Finds adult magazines] ...shocking amounts of pornography.
[Desmond has just saved Claire from drowning]
How did you know? How did you know she was drowning?
I'll tell you how he knew. That guy...sees the future, dude.
This is wrong. You don't buy the ring. You have second thoughts; you walk right out that door. So, come on, let's have it.
I don't know what you're on about.
You don't buy the ring, Desmond.
How do you know my name?
Well, I know your name as well as I know that you that don't ask Penny to marry you. In fact, you break her heart. Well, breaking her heart is, of course, what drives you in a few short years from now to enter that sailing race, to prove her father wrong, which brings you to the island where you spend the next 3 years of your life entering numbers into the computer until you are forced to turn that failsafe key. And if you don't do those things, Desmond David Hume, every single one of us is dead. So give me that sodding ring!
[showing Desmond a whiskey bottle] This is a 60 year MacCutcheon, named after Anderson MacCutcheon, esteemed Admiral from the Royal Navy. He retired with more medals than any man before or since -- moved to the highlands to see out his remaining years. Admiral MacCutcheon was a great man, Hume. This was his crowning achievement. [pours some into a glass] This swallow is worth more than you could make in a month. [drinks the whiskey] To share it with you would be a waste, and a disgrace to the great man who made it -- because you, Hume, will never be a great man.
Mr. Widmore, I know I'm not -
What you're not, is worthy of drinking my whiskey. How could you ever be worthy of my daughter?
[a man Ms. Hawking pointed out to Desmond has just been killed by scaffolding]
Oh, my God. You knew that was going to happen, didn't you? [she nods] Then why didn't you stop it? Why didn't you do anything?
Because it wouldn't matter. Had I warned him about the scaffolding tomorrow he'd be hit by a taxi. If I warned him about the taxi, he'd fall in the shower and break his neck. The universe, unfortunately, has a way of course correcting. That man was supposed to die. That was his path just as it's your path to go to the island. You don't do it because you choose to, Desmond. You do it because you're supposed to.
