Lost quotes

The Man in Black

Were you following us, Claire?

Claire

Yeah,

The Man in Black

Why?

Claire

[Looking at Jack] Because he's my brother.

The Man in Black

Looks like you two have a lot of catching up to do. I'll leave you to it.

Jack

Claire, I'm-- I'm sorry we--

Claire

Did he tell you? That he was the one pretending to be our father?

Jack

Yeah, he did.

Claire

You know I pretty much gave up hoping that any of you would come back. And now that you're here...it's good to see you, Jack.

Jack

Yeah, it's good to see you too.

Claire

Well, I've never had much in the way of family so it really means a lot that you're coming with us.

Jack

Actually, I haven't decided if I'm coming with you.

Claire

Yeah you have.

Jack

What do you mean?

Claire

You decided the moment you let him talk to you, just like the rest of us. So, whether you like it or not, you're with him now.

The Man in Black

What can I do for you?

You took something from us. We want him back.

The Man in Black

I don't know what you're talking about.

The Man in Black

No, no, it's okay.

[On her walkie] Show them what we're capable of.

You can call us on that when you're ready to return what you took.

The Man in Black

Well, here we go.

Jack

This doesn't feel right.

Sawyer

What doesn't feel right?

Jack

Leaving The Island.

Sawyer

Wanna me why not?

Jack

Because I remember how I felt the last time I left. Like a part of me was missing.

Sawyer

They got pills for that, doc.

Jack

We were brought here because we were supposed to do something, James. And if Locke-- if that thing wants us to leave, maybe it's because he's afraid of what happens if we stay.

Sawyer

Get off my damn boat.

Jack

What?

Sawyer

You got a choice to make and you make it now. Either you're with you and you keep that damn crazy talk to yourself or you're going in the water.

Jack

James this is a mistake, and I know there's a part of you that feels that. The Island isn't done with us.

Sawyer

Yeah, well I'm done with this Island. So if you wanna take a leap of faith, take it. Get off my damn boat.

Jack

[Pause] I'm sorry I got Juliet killed. [Jack jumps off the boat]

The Man in Black

Don't worry, Jack. Everything's going to be okay. You're with me, now.

The Man in Black

I need for you to trust me.

Jack

Why should I trust you?

The Man in Black

Because I could kill you, Jack. Right here, right now. And I could kill every single one of your friends, and there is not a thing you could do to stop me. But instead of killing you, I saved your life, and now I want to save them too.

The Man in Black

Are you sure you won't reconsider, Jack?

Jack

Yeah, I'm sure.

The Man in Black

Well whoever told you that you need to stay had no idea what they were talking about.

Jack

John Locke told me that I needed to stay. [pushes the Man in Black in the water]

Jack

Wait. [stops Sayid from pulling the wires out of the C4]

Sawyer

What the hell are you doing Doc?

Jack

Nothing is going to happen.

Sawyer

What?

Jack

Don't pull those wires out. We're going to be OK. Nothing is going to happen.

Sawyer

If I don't pull these wires, Locke is going to blow us to kingdom come.

Jack

No he's not! Locke can't kill us.

Hurley

Uhh, what?

Jack

This is what he wanted. This has been what he has been waiting for. Everything that he has done has been to get us here. He wanted to get us all at the same place at the same time in a nice enclosed space where we had no hopes of getting out.

Jin

I don't understand.

Jack

Locke said that he couldn't leave the Island without us. I think that he can't leave the Island unless we're all dead. He told me that he could kill any one of us whenever he wanted, so what if he hasn't because he's not allowed to? What if he's trying to get us to kill each other?

Sawyer

Stay out of my way Doc.

Jack

If he wanted that thing to blow up, why did he put a timer on it? Why not just throw it inside?

Sawyer

I don't care.

Jack

Nothing is going to happen.

Sawyer

It's not your decision to make.

Jack

He can't kill us!

Sawyer

I'm not going to stand here and do nothing!

Jack

James... We are going to be OK. You just have to trust me.

Sawyer

Sorry Doc, I don't. [pulls the wires from the C4 and the clock then speeds up]

Sayid

Listen carefully. There's a well on the main Island a half mile south from where we were just left. Desmond is inside it. Locke wants him dead, which means you are going to need him. Do you understand me?

Jack

Now why are you telling me this?

Sayid

Because it is going to be you Jack. [Takes the bomb and runs]

Hurley

Sayid!

The Man in Black

[Looking out at sea] It sunk...

Claire

You mean the sub? But everyone was on board. What, they're all dead?

The Man in Black

Not all of them.

Claire

Wait, where are you going?

The Man in Black

To finish what I started.

Every question I answer will simply lead to another question.

Jacob

What is it?

It's a game. You play it.

Jacob

How do you know how?

I just know.

Jacob doesn't know how to lie. He's not like you.

Why, what am I like?

You're... special.

[as they play Senet] You can't do that, Jacob.

Jacob

Why not?

Because it's against the rules

Jacob

You made the rules.

I found it. One day, you can make up your own game and everyone else will have to follow your rules.

May I join you?

Man In Black

[sheaths his dagger] Yes...How are you?

I'm worried.

Man In Black

Well, Mother, you should be. I spent 30 years searching for that place you brought me as a child--that...waterfall with that beautiful light. I've walked this island from end to end, not once coming close to finding it. But, then I began to think--what if the light underneath the island--what if I could get to it from someplace else? Figuring out how to reach it took a very long time.

The people with you, they saw this, too?

Man In Black

Yes, they have some very interesting ideas about what to do with it.

Do with it? You don't' have any idea wh--

Man In Black

I have no idea because you wouldn't tell me, Mother.

What is that?

Man In Black

It's a wheel...We're going to make an opening...one much bigger than this one; and, then I'm going to attach that wheel to a system we're building. A system that channels the water and the light. And then I'm gonna turn it. And when I do...I'll finally be able to leave this place.

How do you know all this? How do you know it will work?

Man In Black

I'm special...Mother.

Do you recognize this place?

Jacob

Yes,

Do you remember what I showed you here?

Jacob

The light.

You're going to protect it now.

Jacob

What's down there?

Life. Death. Rebirth. It's the source. The Heart of the Island. Just promise me that no matter what you do, you won't ever go down there.

Jacob

Would I die?

It would be worse than dying, Jacob. Much worse. [She pulls out a jug of wine and pours some into a cup. She whispers a Latin incantation over it] Here, drink this.

Jacob

What happens if I do?

You will accept the responsibility that you will protect this place for as long as you can. And then you'll have to find your replacement.

Jacob

I don't want to protect this place.

Someone has to.

Jacob

I don't care.

My time is over.

Jacob

Why, why is your time over?

It has to be you, Jacob!

Jacob

No it doesn't, you wanted it to be him [The Man in Black]! But now I'm all you have.

It was always supposed to be you, Jacob. I see that now. And one day you'll see it too. But until then, you don't really have a choice. Now please, take the cup and drink.

Now you and I are the same.
