My old man used to read me that story.
It's just... it's just sweet hearing you say nice things about your dad.
I don't say nice things about my dad? Well, he was a good storyteller. I'll give him that.
[He comes closer]
Just,I...I love seeing you with him. I'm so glad you changed your mind. I'm so glad that you're here.
[They kiss and Jack carries Kate to the bedroom]
Why aren't you taking your meds?
'Cause we're dead... all of us. All the oceanic six. We're all dead. We never got off that island.
Hurley... that is not true.
What did I do today? I,uh... [Sighs] I woke up, took a shower. Uh, Kate and I fed the baby.
I thought you didn't want anything to do with Aaron.
I changed my mind after the trial.
Living with Kate... taking care of Aaron... it all seems so perfect... just like heaven.
Just because I'm happy doesn't mean that this isn't real, Hurley.
I was happy, too, Jack... for a while, anyway. Then I saw Charlie. He likes to sit with me on the bench out on the front lawn. It's pretty cool, actually.
Okay. [Sighs] so what do the two of you talk about?
Well, yesterday, he told me you were gonna be coming by. He wanted me to give you a message.
[Opens the drawer] He made me write it down so I wouldn't mess it up. "You're not supposed to raise him, Jack" Does that make any sense?
No, that...doesn't make any sense.
Do you think he means Aaron?
Take your meds, Hurley. Just take them.
Hey, Jack? Charlie said someone's gonna be visiting you, too. Soon.
The tent's all set. Everything's ready.
Good. Thanks. Listen, I could use an extra pair of hands in there. You wanna help me out?
Um, I don't...I don't think that's a good idea.
It's just holding a mirror. Jack wants to watch the surgery, "talk me through it."
[Kate smiles]
I'm just surprised he's not taking it out of himself by now.
[They see Jack walking]
Jack? What are you doin'?
[Jack tries to walk without help]
I don't need a stretcher. I can walk 50 feet.
[Kate arrives]
They're gonna be back with the instruments soon. We need to be ready to go as soon as they get back. See you in there.
[Kate helps Jack and they walk together]
So it looks like I'm gonna be your nurse.
Wouldn't be the first time.
[Brief pause]
[Sighs]
Listen, um... if something happens to me...
[Jack smiles]
Kate? Kate? Wake up, Kate.
It's late. I just got home.
No. I... I just...had to stop and get something. It just took a while.
What's going on? What's wrong?
The other night, when I was reading to Aaron, you said... that I was a natural. [Sighs] do you really... do you really think that I'm good at this?
Yeah! You're good at this.
[pauses] Will you marry me?
[Jack pulls out a small box and shows the ring]
[He wears it on her finger]
[They hug]
I know you understand me.
I know you speak Korean. You smiled when sun and I talked about you and you were listening to us at the station.
I'm sorry. Perhaps I can get your wife to translate...
You know, if you continue to lie, I'm going to hurt your friend Daniel, I'm going to break his fingers one at a time, do you understand that?
When you helicopter comes for you, you're goning to take my wife off this island.
What about you and the rest of your friends?
Just get her on the helicopter.
[On the phone]: Yeah, I'll just have the nanny stay for an extra couple hours. Jack's never home before 8:00. I could stay for at least an hour.
[Kate sees Jack watching her]
I-I gotta go. Jack's home. Yeah, okay. I'll call you later. Bye.
[Kate hangs up]
[Smiles] Sorry. I thought you'd be in bed. [Brief pause] Who was that?
She's one of the moms from the park.
[Smiles] Nothing. I just...never heard you mention her before.
[She kisses him]
It went well. She did good. She said you could go back inside if you want to.
[Kate enters the tent]
He didn't lose that much blood. I got the appendix out and put everything back where it belongs, I think.
Yeah. So, he's gonna be okay?
He should be fine. We just have to talk him into resting.
I'm sorry I yelled at you.
Don't worry about it. You had enough going on.
[Pause]
The other day, when you came back from the other side of the island, Jack kissed me.
It was nice. But it wasn't for me. But it was for him. I'm pretty sure he was trying to prove something.
That he doesn't love some else.
[Pause]
Thank you, Juliet. Thank you for saving his life.
[Kate goes out of the tent]
[Pause]
[Jack opens his eyes]
[Kate arrives at home]
Hey you're home early. Where's Veronica?
I sent her home. The baby's sleep.
[Ice cubes rattle]
The nanny. She only works till 4:00. I came home 6:00.
I had to run some errands so... [Sets keys down] I asked her to stay a couple extra hours [Pauses] What's going on, Jack? Why are you home so early?
Why didn't you tell me? I would've gone with you.
[Jack laughs]
Because he's crazy, Kate and I didn't wanna upset you. [Pauses] Where were you today?
[Kate kneels in front of him]
I'm gonna ask you... to trust me. Trust me and just leave it be.
No, I heard you on the phone last night. Who were you talking to?
I wanna know where you were. I wanna know who you were with.
It doesn't matter, Jack. Please.
[Kate starts to cry]
I was doing something for him.
For Sawyer. I made him a promise...
It doesn't matter. It has nothing to do with us!
Then why won't you tell me?
Because, because he wouldn't want me to.
But he's not here, is he? No, no, he made his choice. He chose to stay.
I'm the one who came back. I'm the one who's here. I'm the one who saved you.
Jack -You can't, you can't do this. If you have problems, you need to figure them out. All right? 'Cause I can't have you like this around my son.
Your son? You're not even related to him!
You ever wonder what happened to the Dharma Initiative, Hugo? There must have been at least a hundred of 'em living on this island. Manning the stations, building those homes, making all that ranch dressing that you like. And then, one day, they're all gone, they just disappear. You wanna know where we're going? [Walks over to the pit that contains the bodies of the Dharma Initiative] We're going to see them.
[Jerks his head at Ben] He did.
[Locke, Ben, and Hurley are looking for Jacob's cabin]
It should be about two hundred yards this way.
You sure it's gonna be there, John?
The cabin. What if its moved, again?
It hasn't moved, because I was told this is where it would be.
I was told a lot of things too. That I was chosen, that I was special. I end up with a tumor on my spine and my daughter's blood all over my hands.
I'm sorry those things happened to you, Ben.
Those things had to happen to me. That was my destiny. But you'll understand soon enough that there are consequences to being chosen. Because destiny, John, is a fickle bitch.
[Jack, Kate, Sun, Hurley, Sayid, and Aaron are about to arrive in Honolulu and be questioned by the press]
If we get any questions we don't wanna answer, or that we can't answer, let's just keep our mouths shut. [Everyone stares at him without saying anything] It's okay, they'll think that we're in shock.
Well, then this should be easy.
