Your flight crashed on September 22 2004. Today is November 29. That means you've been on our island for 69 days, and, yes, we do have contact with the outside world, Jack. That's how we know that, during those 69 days, your fellow Americans re-elected George W. Bush, Christopher Reeve has passed away. Boston Red Sox won the World Series.
[Jack starts to laugh]
What?
[still laughing] If you wanted me to believe this, you probably should've picked somebody else, besides the Red Sox.
No, they were down, three games to none, against the Yankees in the league championship, and then they won eight straight.
Sure, sure, of course they did.
[Ben turns on a video of Game 4 of the World Series, in the bottom of the ninth.]
...back to Foulke...Red Sox fans have longed to hear it! The Boston Red Sox are world champions! [Jack gets up, moves towards the glass screen, stops laughing and appears lost for words] The Red Sox celebrate in the middle of the diamond...
[turns off video] That's home, Jack, right there, on the other side of that glass, and if you listen to me, you trust me, if you do what I tell you, when the time comes, I'll take you there. I will take you home.
