Lost · Season 2
I'm curious about something.
Yeah, what's that?
How did Ana-Lucia get your gun?
I don't know, she must have lifted it off me.
She pick-pocketed your gun? How'd she do that?
Well, if I knew how she did it, she wouldn't be able to do it, now would she?
Boone. Boone made it fall. Then he died. A sacrifice that the island demanded.
What?
Nothing.
[after viewing the orientation film for The Pearl]
Do you want to watch that again?
No... No, I've seen enough.
What are you doing?
I'm taking this back with us.
Why?
Because they may be important.
Important? I'm sorry, weren't you watching the same thing I was?
Yes, and I believe the work you have been doing is more important now than ever.
Work?
Pushing the button.
That's not work! That's a joke. Rats, in a maze, with no cheese.
We are being tested.
Tested?
The reason to do it, pushing the button, is not because we are told so in the film.
Well, then what is the reason, Mr. Eko?
We do it because we believe we are meant to. Isn't that the reason you pushed it, John?
I was never... meant to do anything! Every single second of my pathetic little life is as useless as that button! You think it's important? You think it's necessary? It's nothing, it's meaningless; and who are you to tell me that it's not?
[to an unconscious Libby] I'm sorry I forgot the blanket.
[wakes up after being knocked down by Eko] You hit me... Why would you...?
Because you were being difficult.
Are you insane?
I know why you're here, friend. But you can save yourself the trouble. What happened here was not a miracle.
The doctor that treated your daughter seems to feel differently.
Treated her? He tried to cut her open. He's just trying to cover up his own negligence. He tell you the whole story -- how she supposedly drowned? She fell into a mountain river, her body shut down; she went into hypothermia which made her appear dead.
And why is your wife so convinced otherwise?
Because she's a zealot. All of this -- everything she's doing -- is to spite me.
Why would she spite you?
Because she knows I'm a fraud. Because I make my living as a psychic. You see, that's what I do. I gather intelligence on people and I exploit it. Everyday I meet people looking for a miracle, desperate to find one. But there are none to be had. Not in this world, anyway.
This cross was worn by my brother, Yemi. Yemi was a great man, a priest, a man of God. And because I betrayed him he was shot and died. He was placed on a plane which took off from an airstrip in Nigeria half a world from here. Then, the plane that I was on crashed on this island. And somehow, here, I found my brother again. I found him in the same plane that took off from Nigeria. In the same plane that lies above us now -- that has concealed this place. And I took this cross from around Yemi's neck and put it back on mine, just as it was on the day I first took another man's life. So let me ask you -- how can you say this is meaningless? I believe the work being done in the Hatch is more important than anything. If you will not continue to push the button, John, I will.
So what happened out there in the jungle?
Exactly what he said happened. He found a camp-
I ain't talking about Mike. You and Freckles. Before you found him, you all were gone all night.
We were caught in a net.
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
It means we got caught in a net.
Is that what they're calling it these days?
I hear you're a priest.
Yes.
I guess you believe in hell, then?
For a brief time, I served in a small parish in England. Every Sunday after mass, I would see a young boy waiting at the back of the church. Then one day, the boy confessed to me that he had beaten his dog to death with a shovel. He said the dog had bitten his baby sister on the cheek and he needed to protect her. And he wanted to know whether he would go to hell for this. I told him that God would understand, and that he would be forgiven, as long as he was sorry. But the boy did not care about forgiveness. He was only afraid that if he did go to hell that the dog would be there, waiting for him.
Who's gonna talk?
What?
The funeral. Who's gonna talk?
I'm sure Hurley'll wanna say something about Libby.
I never even knew her last name. Ana-Lucia.
It's Cortez.
Cortez. Well there you go. [silent pause] I screwed her.
What?
That's how she got my gun. Ana, she jumped me. We "got caught in a net."
Why're you telling me this, Sawyer?
Cause you're about the closest thing I've got to a friend, Doc. And cause she's gone- Well at least now we get to kill somebody.
[after Michael spits in his eye] I expected that. Don't do that again.
[coldly, after Michael demands to see Walt] You have three minutes.
[to Michael] Hey there, Michael. [Michael spits in his face] Not going to hold that against you. Fair's fair. I took your boy. But don't do that again, okay?
[to Eko] So, you wake up in the middle of the night; you grab your Jesus stick; you race off into the jungle. You don't call; you don't write?
