[to Locke] I feel for you, John. I really do. You keep hitting dead ends. You couldn't find the cabin, you can't make contact with Jacob — you're so desperate to figure out what to do next, you're even asking me for help. So here we are, just like old times. Except I'm locked in a different room, and you're more lost than you ever were.

You may think this is a democracy, Kate, because of the way Jack ran things, but this is not a democracy.
Then I guess that makes it a dictatorship.
If I was a dictator, I would just shoot you, and go about my day. Dinner's at six if you're hungry.
You've arranged this meeting so you could blackmail me?
It's extortion if you want to get technical.
[Locke has just put a live grenade in Miles' mouth] I realize that when I tied you up in here the other day, I made the mistake of failing to introduce myself. My name is John Locke, and I'm responsible for the well-being of this island. Eventually, Miles, you're going to tell me who you are, you're going to tell me about the people on the boat, and you're going to tell me why you're so interested in Ben. In the meantime, however, you're going to keep your mouth shut. I learned something yesterday. No use in having rules if there's no punishment for breaking them. You'll be fine if you bite down on the trigger. Enjoy your breakfast.
S4 E5The Constant
I think Eloise's brain short-circuited. The jumps between the present and the future eventually, she eventually, she couldn't tell which was which. She had no anchor.
What do you mean, "anchor"?
Something familiar in both times. All this, see all this is all variables. It's random; it's chaotic. Every equation needs stability, something known. It's called a "constant." Desmond, you have no constant. When you go to the future nothing there is familiar. So if you want to stop this, then you need to find something there, something that you really, really care about, something that also exists back here in 1996.
This constant, can it be a person?
Yeah, maybe. But you have to make contact. Didn't you say you were out on a boat in the middle of nowhere? [Desmond picks up a phone and begins dialing] Uh, who are you calling?
Calling my bloody constant.
[on the phone]
I love you, Penny. I've always loved you. I'm so sorry. I love you.
I love you too.
I don't know where I am but,
I'll find you, Des,
I promise,
no matter what-
I'll come back to you.
I won't give up.
I promise.
I promise.
DPDesmond, Penelope
I love you.
Why would I put you through the headache of time travel, you know? You know what I mean, it just seems a little... unnecessary.
GMGeorge Minkowski
Two days ago, someone sabotaged all the equipment. We lost all communication with the mainland. I probably could have fixed it, but then...then I went nuts.
GMGeorge Minkowski
I...can't....get....back!
S4 E6The Other Woman
You people had therapists?
It's very stressful being an Other, Jack.
You knew this would happen. You sent him out here because you knew this would happen. You wanted this! You wanted him to die! Why?
Why? You're asking me why? After everything I did to get you here, after everything I've done to keep you here - how can you possibly not understand...that you're mine!
Hey. Are you all right? [He touches Juliets face]
He wanted me to kill them. Ben. He sent Harper to tell me to kill them.
How could he possibly tell you that?
I don't know! But he knew how to get to me. Don't you see? These people came here to wage war against Ben. And Ben's going to win. And when he does you don't want to be anywere near me.
[Quietly]: Why not?
[Pause]: Because he thinks that I'm his. And he knows how I feel about you.
[Jack walks up to Juliet, and kisses her]
He knows where to find me.
See you at dinner.
Rabbit today?
We're running out of chickens.
[poking at his food suspiciously] This didn't have a number on it, did it?
[to Locke] John, three months ago in Gainesville, Florida, the Virgin Mary seemed to appear in a patch of mold on the side of an old housing complex. When the word got out, over 5,000 people came to see her face for themselves. You've survived an airline crash on this island. One minute, you're in a wheelchair. The next minute, you're doing jumping jacks. If 5,000 people came out to see a piece of mold, how many people do you think would come here to see you? Charles Widmore wants to exploit this island, and he'll do everything in his power to possess it.
