Lost · Season 2
[Desmond is studying the print-out taken from The Pearl]
What are you doing?
... When did you come here?
What?
The island. When did you come here? How long ago?
Sixty, sixty-five days-
What was the date, what was the date?
September 22nd. It was September 22nd.
I think I crashed your plane.
On that day, those numbers turned to hieroglyphics, and this whole place just starting shakin', and that screen- that screen filled up with 'SYSTEM FAILURE', see, here, 'SYSTEM FAILURE, SYSTEM FAILURE', September 22nd, 2004, the day your plane crashed, it's real, it's all bloody real now PUSH THE DAMN BUTTON!
[after Locke destroys the computer] You killed us. You killed us all.
No. I just saved us all.
(written in a letter to Desmond) Because all we really need to survive is one person who truly loves us. And you have her.
[to Eko] I was wrong.
[to Hurley on the fate of Jack, Kate and Sawyer] Your friends are coming home with us.
Who are you people?
We're the good guys, Michael.
[Translated from Portugese. The man sees the computer alerting to an electromagnetic anomaly] What?
How long has it been doing that?
[First man goes over to the equipment and hurriedly looks through a book]
That's it, isn't it? We missed it again...
We didn't miss it!
[An alarm starts beeping and the first man goes to a computer screen.]
So it's not a false alarm this time?!
Just shut up and call!!
[On the other end, a woman answers the phone]
Hello?
Ms. Widmore? It's us. I think we found it.
'[Penelope Widmore looks shocked as the episode cuts to black]
So, before you ran off, I guess you just forgot to mention that you still have a sailboat. Why'd you come back?
[laughing] Do you think I did it on purpose? I was sailing for two and half weeks, bearing due West and making 9 knots. I should have been in Fiji in less than a week. But the first piece of land I saw wasn't Fiji, was it? No. No it was here... this, this island. And you know why? Because this, is it. This is all there is left. This ocean and this place here. We are stuck in a bloody snowglobe! There's no outside world! There's no escape! So, just go away, huh. Let me drink.
[Jack gets up to leave]
Are you still pushing it?
Yeah, we're still pushing it.
Set of keys; one pocket watch, gold plated; one photograph; one book, Our Mutual Friend. Why didn't you bring that inside?
To avoid temptation, brother. I've read everything Mr. Charles Dickens has ever written - every wonderful word. Every book except this one. I'm saving it so it will be the last thing I ever read before I die.
Nice idea, as long as you know when you're going to die. [He stamps "discharged" on some papers] Lance Corporal Desmond David Hume your sentence is hereby complete and you are now and forever dishonorably discharged from the Royal Scotts Regiment of Her Majesty's Armed Forces. Long live the queen. Enjoy your sodding book.
Charlie, do you know how they got the Hatch door open?
No, but if you hum it, I could probably play it.
Well, if you don't want me to go crazy, next time let me go out.
Well, you want to go out there with the quarantine and the hostiles?
I haven't been outside for 2 bloody years! Yes, I want to go! I was in the army for God's sake!
Oh, right, Her Majesty's Army, correct? Tell me, Desmond, why'd you leave that nice old lady's army? Oh, I remember now. You got kicked out because you couldn't follow orders.
Why did you leave your army, Kelvin, huh?
[beat] Because men followed my orders. [sarcastically] Ah, but then thank God I joined the DHARMA Initiative. Namaste, thank you, and good luck.
Can I ask you a question, brother?
Absolutely.
Is the reason you're letting that clock there run all the way down to the very last tick—is it because you need to look down the barrel of a gun to find out what you really believe, John?
I looked down the barrel of the gun and I believed. I thought it was my destiny to get into this place. And someone died—a kid. Because he was stupid enough to believe that I knew what I was talking about. And the night that he died for nothing, I was sitting right up there, all alone, beating my hand bloody against that stupid door—screaming to the heavens asking what I should do. And then a light went on. I thought it was a sign. But it wasn't a sign. Probably just you going to the bathroom.
[to Locke] 3 days before you came down here, before we met, I heard a banging on the Hatch door, shouting. But it was you, John, wasn't it? You said there isn't any purpose—there's no such thing as fate. But you saved my life, brother, so that I could save yours.
