Lost quotes

Desmond Hume

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?

Eloise Hawking

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.

[about Jack's tattoo] He walks amongst us, but he is not one of us. That's what they say.

Jack

That's what they say. It's not what they mean.

Juliet

I hear you only liked them grilled.

Jack

Let me see.

Juliet

Jack...

Jack

They marked you? Let me see.

Jack

If you would break off that aloe plant there...

Juliet

It's ok, Jack.

Jack

Please, please do it.

Juliet

Why did you help me?

Jack

He told you that you could leave the island. He told me the same thing. We're going to make sure he keeps his promise.

Juliet

We're? How are we going to do that?

Jack

Together.

Tom Friendly

What kind of people do you think we are, Jack?

Jack Shephard

Oh, I don't know, Tom -- the kind of people that would take a pregnant woman -- that would hang Charlie from a tree -- would drag our people out of the jungle -- would kidnap children. That's the kind of people I think you are.

Tom Friendly

[tapping the glass] You see this glass house you're living in, Jack? How about I get you some stones?

Jack Shephard

Who's that woman?

Tom Friendly

That'd be the sheriff.

Jack Shephard

You have a sheriff?

Tom Friendly

[exasperated] Not literally, Jack.

Jack Shephard

I'd be more impressed with you people if you had a good surgeon.

Ben Linus

We had an excellent surgeon, Jack. His name was Ethan.

Charlie

So, when's it going to happen?

Desmond

When's what going to happen?

Charlie

Don't play stupid with me, brother.

Desmond

I was drunk. If I said anything...

Charlie

I have a right to know when I'm gonna die.

Desmond

It doesn't work like that.

Sawyer

Hey, Oliver Twist! Where the hell is my stuff?

Charlie

What stuff?

Sawyer

You know good and damn well what stuff. I had books, food, porno, bottle of scotch...

Desmond

Apologies for the scotch, mate.

Hurley

Dude, that beer's been sitting there since before Rocky 3. Maybe even 2. It's probably poisoned by now.

Sawyer

[Indicates Roger's corpse] Skeletor seems to like it.

Sawyer

I'm sorry.

Jin

I'm sorry.

Sawyer

Okay, nice. Keep it coming.

Jin

Uh, you were right.

Sawyer

Okay. That's two. Hit me.

Jin

Those pants don't make you look fat.

Sawyer

Now you got it. Only three things a woman needs to hear.

Sayid

Kate, if you were looking for help to find Jack, why didn't you ask us?

Kate

Two reasons: you don't know where to look and you're not motivated. And I don't blame you. Why would you want to go on another trek across the island, risk more lives just to get Jack back?

Locke

You're wrong.

Kate

Oh, really? They why didn't you come after-

Locke

Not about the motivation, just about knowing where to look. We got a compass bearing, and I'm pretty sure if we follow it, it'll lead us right to 'em.

Kate

How?

Sayid

Because of the way the sunlight hit Mr. Eko's stick when John was burying him.

Sawyer

What's your problem, Jumbotron?

Hurley

Shut up... Red... Neck... Man!

Sawyer

[amused] Touché.

Having hope is never stupid. You've got to believe good things will happen and then they will.

Charlie Pace

Yeah, chase the dog with the skeletal arm into the creepy jungle. You be my guest.

I'll give you a thousand dollars right now if admit that my dad told you to say this stuff.

The mystic arts are not subject to bribes. How dare you!

10,000.

Your dad put me up to it.
