You and I both know when we were before the flash, James. So who was it you saw? Charlie? Shannon? Yourself?
And how is it that you knew when we were, Johnny Boy? That light in the sky — it was from the Hatch, wasn't it?
The night that Boone died... I went out there and started pounding on it as hard as I could. I was... confused... scared. Babbling like an idiot, asking, why was all this happening to me?
Did you get an answer?
Light came on, shot up into the sky. At the time, I thought it meant something.
Did it?
No. It was just a light.
So why'd you turn us around then? Don't you wanna go back there?
Why would I wanna do that?
So you could tell yourself to do things different, save yourself a world of pain.
No, I needed that pain — to get to where I am now.
