[Locke has just put a live grenade in Miles' mouth] I realize that when I tied you up in here the other day, I made the mistake of failing to introduce myself. My name is John Locke, and I'm responsible for the well-being of this island. Eventually, Miles, you're going to tell me who you are, you're going to tell me about the people on the boat, and you're going to tell me why you're so interested in Ben. In the meantime, however, you're going to keep your mouth shut. I learned something yesterday. No use in having rules if there's no punishment for breaking them. You'll be fine if you bite down on the trigger. Enjoy your breakfast.

S4 E5The Constant
I think Eloise's brain short-circuited. The jumps between the present and the future eventually, she eventually, she couldn't tell which was which. She had no anchor.
What do you mean, "anchor"?
Something familiar in both times. All this, see all this is all variables. It's random; it's chaotic. Every equation needs stability, something known. It's called a "constant." Desmond, you have no constant. When you go to the future nothing there is familiar. So if you want to stop this, then you need to find something there, something that you really, really care about, something that also exists back here in 1996.
This constant, can it be a person?
Yeah, maybe. But you have to make contact. Didn't you say you were out on a boat in the middle of nowhere? [Desmond picks up a phone and begins dialing] Uh, who are you calling?
Calling my bloody constant.
[on the phone]
I love you, Penny. I've always loved you. I'm so sorry. I love you.
I love you too.
I don't know where I am but,
I'll find you, Des,
I promise,
no matter what-
I'll come back to you.
I won't give up.
I promise.
I promise.
DPDesmond, Penelope
I love you.
Why would I put you through the headache of time travel, you know? You know what I mean, it just seems a little... unnecessary.
GMGeorge Minkowski
Two days ago, someone sabotaged all the equipment. We lost all communication with the mainland. I probably could have fixed it, but then...then I went nuts.
GMGeorge Minkowski
I...can't....get....back!
S4 E6The Other Woman
You people had therapists?
It's very stressful being an Other, Jack.
You knew this would happen. You sent him out here because you knew this would happen. You wanted this! You wanted him to die! Why?
Why? You're asking me why? After everything I did to get you here, after everything I've done to keep you here - how can you possibly not understand...that you're mine!
Hey. Are you all right? [He touches Juliets face]
He wanted me to kill them. Ben. He sent Harper to tell me to kill them.
How could he possibly tell you that?
I don't know! But he knew how to get to me. Don't you see? These people came here to wage war against Ben. And Ben's going to win. And when he does you don't want to be anywere near me.
[Quietly]: Why not?
[Pause]: Because he thinks that I'm his. And he knows how I feel about you.
[Jack walks up to Juliet, and kisses her]
He knows where to find me.
See you at dinner.
Rabbit today?
We're running out of chickens.
[poking at his food suspiciously] This didn't have a number on it, did it?
[to Locke] John, three months ago in Gainesville, Florida, the Virgin Mary seemed to appear in a patch of mold on the side of an old housing complex. When the word got out, over 5,000 people came to see her face for themselves. You've survived an airline crash on this island. One minute, you're in a wheelchair. The next minute, you're doing jumping jacks. If 5,000 people came out to see a piece of mold, how many people do you think would come here to see you? Charles Widmore wants to exploit this island, and he'll do everything in his power to possess it.

You realize we're the only two married guys on the island? Married?
Married.
Yeah, well, no, not to each other. No. You got it. It's not easy, is it? Oh, I mean, it's--it's wonderful, but... let's face it, every decision that you make takes twice as long. 'Cause you always gotta talk them into it. [beat[ Rose... has cancer. She's sick. Dying. Well, at least, she 'was' dying. She says she's better now. She says it's this place... the island. But when the camp split up, I was sure that she'd want to go with Locke. Why would she want to leave the island, and risk getting sick again?
Then why do you stay with Jack?
Because it was the right thing to do. Locke... he's a murderer. See, it's all about karma, Jin. Do you know karma? You make bad choices, bad things happen to you. But you make good choices, and then good—
[A fish takes the bait on Jin's rod]
Hey! Hey, hey, hey! You got one! Yeah. Here, pull it in.
[Jin pulls the fish in]
Wow, look at that! You see? Now, that's karma. We must be the good guys, huh?

[to Desmond and Sayid] This black box comes from Oceanic Flight 815. A salvage vessel recovered it from the bottom of the ocean. It took a considerable amount of Mr. Widmore's resources to procure it. It was found with the wreckage of the plane, along with all 324 dead passengers. That's not the complete story, as you are well aware, Mr. Jarrah, given the fact that you're standing here, breathing... the wreckage was obviously staged. Now can you imagine what kind of resources and manpower go into pulling off a feat of that magnitude? Faking the recovery of a plane crash? Putting 324 families through a grieving process based on a lie? But what's even more disturbing... where exactly does one come across 324 dead bodies? And that, Mr. Jarrah, Mr. Hume, is just one of the many reasons we want Benjamin Linus.
S4 E8Meet Kevin Johnson
Miles offered his loyalty in exchange for the money. But as I haven't seen a bank on the island, I didn't think it worth mentioning.
[Miles chuckles]
JFJames "Sawyer" Ford
Somethin' funny?
Linus will find a way to get it.
JFJames "Sawyer" Ford
And how will he do that?
He wants to survive. And considering a week ago you had a gun to his head, and tonight he's eating pound cake... I'd say he's a guy who gets what he wants.
