TV show quotes
[Ben, Miles, and Richard are on their way to The Barracks]
You sure this is a shortcut?
I lived in these houses a long time, Miles. I think I can remember how to get there.
Yeah well, I lived in these houses thirty years before you did; otherwise known as last week. And I have no idea where the hell we are.
Guess it's a good thing you're following me.
[While helping to get C4 from Ben's secret room, Miles notices an ancient looking door]
What's in there? A secret-er room?
It was the room I used to summon The Monster. But that was before I realized it was summoning me.
[Miles looks confused; Ben opens his case of C4]
Well Richard, I don't know how much we need. Are we planning on disabling the plane or blow it to hell?
Blow it to hell.
Than we'd better take it all.
[Ben has given up Widmore and Zoe to the Man in Black]
Sorry, Charles.
What a pleasant surprise. How nice to finally talk to you without those fences between us.[Looks to Zoe] And who might you be?
Zoe, my name is Zoe--
Don't talk to him. Don't say anything!
[The Man in Black interrupts by swiftly slitting Zoe's throat with his knife, she collapses in Widmore's arms dying]
Why would you do that?
You told her not to talk to me. That made her pointless. Now... Charles, it's clear you're not afraid to die. So there's only one way to motivate you to tell me what I want to know. Soon this will all be over. I'll get what I want. And I'll finally leave this Island. And when I do, the first thing I'm gonna do is kill your daughter. Penny.
You'll kill her whether I talk to you or not.
No, I won't. I give you my word.
And I'm supposed to just take your word?
You tell me why you came back here and I will not hurt your daughter.
I brought Desmond Hume back here because of his unique resistance to electromagnetism. He was a measure of last resort.
What do you mean "last resort?"
[Looks at Ben] I'm not saying any more in front of him.
Well than whisper to me.
[Widmore whispers in MIB's ear, before he is shot several times by Ben, killing him]
He doesn't get to save his daughter.
Ben...You never cease to amaze me. Fortunately, he already told me what I needed to know. So, no harm done.
Good...Did you say there were some other people to kill?
So you're the one who wrote our names on the wall?
I am.
Sun and Jin Kwon and Sayid Jarrah. You wrote their names on the wall?
Yes,
Is that why they're dead?
I'm very sorry.
You're sorry?
Kate...
No, I wanna know why. I wanna know that Sun and Jin and Sayid didn't die for nothing.
...Come and sit down and I will tell you what they died for. I'll tell you why I chose them. And why I chose you. And I'll tell you everything you need to know about protecting this Island, because by the time that fire burns out, one of you is gonna have to start doing it. [The group gathers around] I don't really know where to start.
How about why you brought us to the Island.
I brought all of you here because I made a mistake. A mistake I made a very long time ago, and now, because of that there's a very good chance every single one of you and everyone you've ever cared about is going to die.
What mistake?
You call him "The Monster." But I'm responsible for what happened to him. I made him that way. And ever since then he's been trying to kill me. It was only a matter of time before he figured out how, and when he did, someone would have to replace me. And that's why I brought you all here.
Tell me something, Jacob. Why do I gotta be punished for your mistake? What made you think you could mess with my life? I was doing just fine until you dragged my ass to this rock.
No you weren't. None of you were. I didn't pluck any of you out of some happy existence. You were all flawed. I chose you because you were all like me. You were all alone. You were all looking for something you couldn't find out there. I chose you because you needed this place as much as it needed you.
Why did you cross my name off of your wall?
Because you became a mother. It's just a line of chalk in a cave. The job is yours if you want it, Kate.
What is the job?
There's a light at the center of this Island. You have to make sure it never goes out. That's how you protect it.
Your monster friend said there's nothing to protect it from.
You have to protect it from him. You must do what I couldn't. What I wasn't able to do.
You want us to kill him. Is that even possible?
I hope so, because he is certainly going to try to kill you.
So...how are you gonna pick?
I'm not going to pick, Hugo. I'm going to give you the one thing I was never given. A choice.
And if none of us chooses?
Then this ends very badly.
[There is a pause as everyone looks at one another]
I'll do it. This is why I'm here. This is...this is what I'm supposed to do.
Is that a question, Jack?
...No,
Good, then it's time.
[Sawyer, Kate, and Hurley watch as Jacob initiates Jack as the new Island guardian]
Just when I thought that guy had a god complex before...
James...
Yeah. I know,
I'm just glad it's not me.
[The Man in Black and Ben find Desmond has escaped from the well he was trapped in]
What did Widmore say to you?
He said Desmond was a fail-safe. Jacob's last resort in case, God forbid, I managed to kill all of his beloved candidates. One final way to make sure I never leave this Island.
Then...Why are you happy he's alive?
Because I'm gonna find Desmond, and when I do he's gonna help me do the one thing that I could never do myself. I'm gonna destroy the Island.
I'm not interested in hiding. He's gonna find me sooner or later anyway. I'd rather have it over with.
These are both great plans, but I'm gonna go with surviving. If you need us, we'll be running through the jungle.
Jacob didn't say anything to me about Desmond.
Doesn't sound like he said anything about anything.
That's kind of true, dude. He's worse than Yoda.
All right, ya'll head to your heart of the island and I'll go back and get the magic leprechaun out of that well.
If we leave a trail can you catch up with us?
[nods] Hell, yeah, I can.
Then be safe.
[to Kate] I'd ask you along, but that'd take all of the fun out of me telling you you can't come.
[smiles] I guess I'll just have to resist the urge to follow you anyway.
Why did you take the job, Jack?
Because I was supposed to.
Why? Because some stranger wrote our names on a wall?
I took it because the island's all I've got left. It's the only thing in my life I haven't managed to ruin.
You haven't ruined anything. Nothing is irreversible.
This would be so sweet if we weren't all about to die.
[Jack's group confronts The Man in Black's group in a clearing]
Well this oughta be interesting.
[Immediately grabs Sawyer's rifle and opens fire on MIB] YOU KILLED THEM!
[MIB is not phased at all, Sawyer restrains Kate]
I'd save your bullets.[Confronts Jack] So it's you?
Yeah, it's me.
Jacob being who he is, I was expected to be a little more surprised. You're sort of the obvious choice, don't you think?
He didn't choose me. I volunteered.
I assume you're here to stop me?
I can't stop you. In fact I uh, I wanna go with you.
I'm sorry Jack, I think you're a little confused about what I came here to do.
No I'm not. You're going to the far side of the bamboo forest, to the place I've sworn that I'll protect. And then you think you're going to destroy the Island.
"I think?"
[Smiles]That's right, because that's not what's going to happen.
And what's gonna happen, Jack?
I'm gonna kill you.
[Visibly intimidated]... How are you planning to do that?
That's a surprise.
Alright then, let's get on with it.
[Jack and The Man in Black are lowering Desmond into the heart of the Island]
This remind you of anything, Jack?
What?
You and me, Desmond going down into a hole in the ground. If there was a button down there we could argue whether or not to push it. It'd be just like old times.
You're not John Locke. You disrespect his memory by wearing his face, but you're nothing like him. Turns out he was right about most everything. Just wish I could have told him that while he was still alive.
He wasn't right about anything, Jack. And as soon as this Island drops into the ocean and you drop with it, you're going to realize that.
Well I guess we'll just have to see which one of us is right.
[holding a knife to Jack's throat] I want you to know, Jack, you died for nothing!
[shoots MIB in the back] I saved you a bullet!
[Jack gets to his feet; MIB looks out at the Island as it slowly crumbles]
You're too late...
[Jack kicks The Man in Black over the cliffs, killing him]
[After Jack heals him of his paralysis, Locke remembers his past life]
[Brought to tears] Did you see that?
See what? [Locke looks at Jack, overjoyed to see him; Jack has a flash of when he and Locke opened the Hatch but ignores it, confused] Mr. Locke, you need to lie back and take it easy.
[Trying to get up, very emotional] No, what we need to do is go.
No, you can't get up.
[Smiles happily] Will you come with me?
We are not going anywhere. You've just had extensive spinal surgery. Now you need to lie back. I- I need to see my son.[Starts to leave]
You don't have a son.
What?
You don't have a son, Jack.
[Jack seems confused and starts to leave]
Jack! I hope someone can do for you what you just did for me.
Get some rest, Mr. Locke.
[is caught trying to get candy from a vending machine] It's okay. I'm a cop.
Maybe you should read the machine its rights.
[laughs] That's funny.
Can I tell you a secret?
Please.
If you unplug it, and then you plug it back in again, the candy just drops right down.
Is that right?
Yes, and its technically legal.
I'll give it a shot. [unplugs and cuts off power to the room] Oops.
It worked. [hands the candy bar to him and remembers their life on the island]
Whoa. Did you feel that?
We should get coffee sometime.
I'd love to, but that machine ate my dollar. I only got one left.
[smiles] We could go dutch.
[In the sideways world, Locke arrives outside of the church. He finds Ben waiting]
Hello, Benjamin.
Hello, John.
Is everyone else inside?
I believe most of them are.
[Locke starts to wheel his way toward the entrance]
I'm sorry, John. I'm sorry for what I did to you. I was angry. Selfish. I wanted everything you had.
What did I have?
You were special. And I wasn't.
Well if it helps, I forgive you, Ben.
Thank you, John. It does help.
Are you going to come in?
I'm not quite ready to leave yet. I have some things I still need to work out here.[Locke nods and begins to leave] You know, I don't think you need to be in that chair anymore.
[Locke pauses, unsure; slowly, he rises, steps out of the chair and watches as it rolls away]
Bye, Ben.[Ben nods, as Locke goes inside the church]
