[Jack and Ben, in the 316 Ajira flight]
[Nervous] How can you read?
[Keeps reading] My mother taught me. [Pretty funny smile] I can read, Jack, because it beats what you are doing.
What's that?
Waiting for something to happen.
And what is gonna happen?
You tell me, Jack, you're the one that got to stay after school with Ms. Hawking.
Did you know that Locke killed himself?
No. No, I didn't.
[Takes out the suicide note Locke left for him] They found this stuffed in his pocket... and I've been trying to get rid of it but it's like it's... following me. I know it sounds crazy but... it feels like John needs me to read it.
Why don't you then? Is it because you're afraid?
Afraid of what?
Afraid that he blames you, that it's your fault he killed himself.
Was it my fault?
No, Jack, it wasn't your fault. Let me give you some privacy.
[Ben changes his seat, and Jack reads the note: "Jack, I wish you had believed me. JL"]
[Turbulences and a flash like those from the Island start]
