“I have to take responsibility for Claire's behaviour....” – The Man in Black, Lost ... TV Quotes Database

I have to take responsibility for Claire's behaviour. I was the one who told her the Others had her baby.

Why would you tell her that?

Have you ever had an enemy? Someone that you needed to hate? Very powerful, isn't it? Claire was devastated without Aaron. She needed something to... something to keep her going. So, I gave her something to hate. And then... when you told her the truth... all those feelings, all that anger that she'd been holding on to for so long... it had to go somewhere.

Kate Austen

Very insighful... coming from a dead man.

The Man in Black

Well, nobody's perfect. I'm sorry that this happened. And I'm sure if you give her time, everything will be alright. I promised before that I would keep everyone safe. And that means you too, Kate.
