Lost quotes

[Translated from Portugese. The man sees the computer alerting to an electromagnetic anomaly] What?

How long has it been doing that?

That's it, isn't it? We missed it again...

We didn't miss it!

So it's not a false alarm this time?!

Just shut up and call!!

Hello?

Ms. Widmore? It's us. I think we found it.

Jack Shephard

So, before you ran off, I guess you just forgot to mention that you still have a sailboat. Why'd you come back?

Desmond Hume

[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.

Desmond Hume

Are you still pushing it?

Jack Shephard

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?

Desmond Hume

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.

Mr. Eko

Charlie, do you know how they got the Hatch door open?

Charlie Pace

No, but if you hum it, I could probably play it.

Desmond Hume

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?

Desmond Hume

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.

Desmond Hume

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.

Desmond Hume

Can I ask you a question, brother?

John Locke

Absolutely.

Desmond Hume

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?

John Locke

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.

Desmond Hume

[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.

[On Stephen King's Carrie] It's not even literature, it's popcorn

And why isn't it literature, Adam, I'm dying to know?

There's no metaphor. It's by-the-number religious hokem-pokem.

No metaphor?

It's science fiction. Now I know why Ben isn't here.

Juliet

Excuse me?

I know the host picks the book but seriously, Julie, he wouldn't read this in the damn bathroom.

Juliet

Well, Adam, I am the host and I do pick the book, and this is my favorite book. So I am absolutely thrilled that you can't stand it.

Juliet

Silly me for sinking so low as to select something that Ben wouldn't like. Here I am thinking that free will still actually exists on this...

Ben

[Sees that Juliet holding the book, Carrie] So I guess I'm out of the book club.

Tom

Hey, you got yourself a fish biscuit! How'd you do that?

Sawyer

Figured out your complicated gizmos, thats how.

Tom

It only took the bears two hours.

Sawyer

How many of 'em were there?

Ben

[referring to the handcuffs on the table] Sorry, I'm going to have to ask you to put those on, Kate.

Kate

And if I don't?

Ben

Then you don't get any coffee.

Juliet

What do you do, Jack? What's your profession?

Jack

I'm a repo man. You know, when people don't pay their bills I go into the bank and collect their possessions. I'm a people person so I really love it.

Juliet

Are you married?

Jack

No. I never saw the point. What about you? What's your job, besides making sandwiches?

Juliet

Oh, I didn't make it. I just put the toothpicks in.

Jack

[screaming at the top of his lungs] TELL ME WHERE MY FRIENDS ARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jack Shephard

So, you're a doctor, huh?

Juliet Burke

No, I'm a repo woman.

Juliet Burke

It doesn't matter who we were. It only matters who we are.
