Ben: Not so long ago, Jack, I made a decision that took the lives of over forty people in a single day. I'm telling you this because history is about to repeat itself, right here, right now.
Jack: Let me guess you've got us surrounded and if I don't do what you say you're gonna, you're gonna kill all of my people?
Ben: No, Jack, you are.
Jack:[Laughs] And how am I going do that, Ben?
Ben: The woman you've been traveling with. The one who parachuted onto the island from that helicopter. She's not who she says she is.
Jack: She's not, huh?
Ben: No she's not.
Jack: Then who is she?
Ben: She's a representative of some people who've been trying to find this island, Jack. She's one of the bad guys.
Jack: Oh, I almost forgot, you're the, you're the good guys.
Ben: Jack listen to me. If you phone her boat, every single living person on this island will be killed. So here's what has to happen. Get that device, that phone she carries with her, and give it to me. I will turn around, we'll walk back to my people, you will turn around and walk back to your people.
Jack: I'm not going anywhere.
[Jack and Ben both stand up at the same time, staring each other down]
Ben: May I have my walkie talkie back?
Jack: What?
Ben: There's something you need to hear. Please?
[Jack gives it to him]
Ben: Tom are you there?
Tom: Yes I'm here.
Ben:[To Jack] Your plan killed seven of my people, but the ones you failed to kill are now holding your friends: Jin, Sayid, Bernard, at gunpoint.
Sayid: Jack, don't give him anything.
[Ryan hits Sayid]
Bernard: Leave him alone!
Ryan: I said shut up!
Jack: And what's to stop me from snapping your neck?
Ben: Tom unless you hear my voice in one minute, shoot all three of them.
Tom: Got it.
Ryan: I said don't move.
Ben: Bring me the phone, Jack.
Sayid: Don't negotiate with him-
Ben: Forty Five seconds.
Jack: No. I'm getting them all of the island. All of them!
Ben: Let me ask you something, Jack. Why do you wanna leave the Island? What is it that you so desperately want to get back to? You have no one. Your father's dead, your wife left you, moved on with another man. Can you just not wait to get back to the hospital? Get back to fixing things? It's twenty seconds now. Just get me the phone, Jack.
Jack: No.
Ben: Ten seconds. Bring me the phone.
Jack: No.
Ben: I'm not bluffing!
Jack: I WON'T DO IT!
Ben: Five. Four. Three.
Jack: No.
[Three shots are heard over the walkie talkie, Jack cringes with anguish]
Ben: I'm so sorry, Jack.
[Furious, Jack tackles Ben to the ground and beats him half to death. He then takes the walkie talkie]
Jack: Tom are you there?
Tom: Yeah, Jack, I hear ya.
Jack: I'm going to lead my people up to the radio tower. And I'm going to make a call and get them all rescued. Every one of them. And then I'm gonna come find you. And I'm gonna kill ya.

Ben: Sayid! Come on, we have to go now. There's still time.
Sayid: Not for me...

Ben: See you at dinner.

Ben: This is where I came from, John. These are my people. The DHARMA Initiative. They came here seeking harmony, but they couldn't even coexist with the Island's original inhabitants. And when it became clear that one side had to go, one side had to be purged, I did what I had to do. I was one of the people that was smart enough to make sure that I didn't end up in that ditch, which makes me considerably smarter than you, John.
[Ben shoots Locke and he falls in the mass grave]
Ben: What did Jacob say to you?
Locke: Why did you do this?
Ben: Because you heard him. Now I need to know what he said.
Locke: "Help me."
Ben: John, I'm not going to ask you again! What did he say to you?
Locke: He said... "help me."
[Ben looks troubled, and flinches for a moment]
Ben: Well I certainly hope he helps you, John.

Ben: We're here. You'll want to turn off your flashlight, John.
Locke: Why?
Ben: Jacob feels the same way about technology as you do. Once I open this door, there's no turning back. Are you sure this is what you want? So be it. Jacob, I'm here with John Locke. We're coming in now. Jacob, this is John. Don't you going to say hello, John?
Locke: What?
Ben: I told you he wouldn't.
Locke: Who? What are you talking about?
Ben: You can't see him?
Locke: See who?
Ben: Jacob. He's sitting right here in this chair. Yes, I know, but he insisted.
Locke: What is this?
Ben: You wanted the secrets of the island, well here they are. This is the man who can answer every single... I am not! He made me bring him here! Did you think that that was my... Sir, may I finish?!
Locke: You're crazy.
Ben: Excuse me?
Locke: You don't know anything about the island, do you? You just made it all up.
Ben: Jacob, please, I can't hear him if you're going to talk...
Locke: Stop... Stop... Shut up! You're putting on a show for me! Or, do you... Do you really think there is someone there?
Ben: I know there is someone there.
Locke: You don't know anything.
Ben: I'm sorry you feel that way, John. And I'm sorry that you're too limited to see.
Locke: You're pathetic.
Jacob: Help me.
Locke: What did you just say?
Ben: I didn't say anything.
Locke: Oh yes you did. I heard you. You said...
Ben: That's enough, you've had your fun!
Locke: What was that?
Ben: That was Jacob.

Ben: What are you?
The Man in Black:[disguised as John Locke] I'm not a "what", Ben, I'm a "who".
Ben: You're the monster.
The Man in Black: Let's not resort to name calling.
Ben: You used me. You couldn't kill him yourself, so you made me do it.
The Man in Black: I didn't make you do anything. You should know, he was very confused when you killed him.
Ben: I seriously doubt that Jacob was ever confused.
The Man in Black: I'm not talking about Jacob. I'm talking about John Locke. Do you want to know what he was thinking while you choked the life out of him, Benjamin? What the last thought that ran through his head was? "I don't understand." Isn't that just the saddest thing you've ever heard? But it's fitting in a way because when John first came to the island, he was a very sad man. A victim shouting at the world for being told what he couldn't do, even though they were right. He was weak and pathetic, and irreparably broken, but despite all of that, there was something admirable about him. He was the only one of them who didn't want to leave. The only one who realized how pitiful the life he left behind actually was.
Ben: What do you want?
The Man in Black: Well that's the great irony here, Ben, because I want the one thing that John Locke didn't. I want to go home.

Ben: What did you hear in there, John? What did Jacob say to you?
Locke: He didn't say anything to me. You did.
Ben: What are you talking about?
Locke: There is no Jacob, Ben. I'm not going to be taken in by the little show you put on last night. You're a fraud. And it's time your people were told the truth. And this is not the way we came!
Ben: I'm taking us back another way. I wanted to show you something first.
Locke: I've seen enough.
Ben: You know, John, you're not wrong. Some of the things I've told you, some of the things I've told everyone, are not true.
Locke: Like what?
Ben: Well, for starters, I wasn't born on this island.
Locke: Then where did you come from?
Ben: That's what I want to show you.

Ben: Why don't you close that up now Jack? Come on, let's get him in the van, it's out back.
Jack: Where are we taking him?
Ben: We'll worry about that once we pick up Hugo.
Jack: Hurley - is locked away in a mental institution.
Ben: Which should make recruiting him considerably easier than the rest of your friends.
Jack: They're not my friends anymore.
Ben: Well that's the spirit...
Jack: How did we get here...? How did all of this happened?
Ben: It happened because you left, Jack... Now let's get started shall we?
(Ben closes Jeremy Bentham's coffin)

Ben: Would you mind helping me get into my chair. No tricks, I promise. I just want some dignity. You of all people should understand what means to want some dignity. Thank you. So tell me John, how do you plan on piloting our submarine. Its a complicated piece of machinery. You just don't press submerge.
Locke: I'll figure something out. For all you know I was a commander in the Navy. Put your arm around my neck and I'll lift under your knees.
Ben: What's in the pack, John? If you met Mikail that means you were at the communications station, which means you found the explosives. So you're not planning on piloting the submarine anywhere, you're planning to destroy it. I know you, John Locke.
Locke: You don't know me at all.
Ben: I know you were born in California. I know that you were raised in foster care. I know that you wasted a big part of your life in Tustin, pushing papers at a place that manufactures industrial boxes. I know that you spent the four years prior to arriving on this island in a wheelchair, and I know how you ended up in it.

Ben: Your flight crashed on September 22 2004. Today is November 29. That means you've been on our island for 69 days, and, yes, we do have contact with the outside world, Jack. That's how we know that, during those 69 days, your fellow Americans re-elected George W. Bush, Christopher Reeve has passed away. Boston Red Sox won the World Series.
[Jack starts to laugh]
Ben: What?
Jack: [still laughing] If you wanted me to believe this, you probably should've picked somebody else, besides the Red Sox.
Ben: No, they were down, three games to none, against the Yankees in the league championship, and then they won eight straight.
Jack: Sure, sure, of course they did.
[Ben turns on a video of Game 4 of the World Series, in the bottom of the ninth.]
Joe Buck: ...back to Foulke...Red Sox fans have longed to hear it! The Boston Red Sox are world champions! [Jack gets up, moves towards the glass screen, stops laughing and appears lost for words] The Red Sox celebrate in the middle of the diamond...
Ben: [turns off video] That's home, Jack, right there, on the other side of that glass, and if you listen to me, you trust me, if you do what I tell you, when the time comes, I'll take you there. I will take you home.

Bernard: [To Eko] I liked you better when you just hit people with your stick!
Charlie: (Looking at Eko after Bernard left) I like you just the way you are.

Bernard: Back where you guys came from. Is there a woman named Rose.
Sawyer: Black chick, In the 50's.

Bernard: Have you all forgotten that we crashed on this island? It's like none of you want to go home again!

Bernard: It went well. She did good. She said you could go back inside if you want to.
Kate: Thank you
Bernard: Okay.
[Kate enters the tent]
Juliet: He didn't lose that much blood. I got the appendix out and put everything back where it belongs, I think.
Kate: Yeah. So, he's gonna be okay?
Juliet: He should be fine. We just have to talk him into resting.
Kate: Good luck with that!
Juliet: I'm sorry I yelled at you.
Kate: Don't worry about it. You had enough going on.
[Pause]
Juliet: You know, he kissed me.
Kate: What?
Juliet: The other day, when you came back from the other side of the island, Jack kissed me.
Kate: Oh...
Juliet: It was nice. But it wasn't for me. But it was for him. I'm pretty sure he was trying to prove something.
Kate: Prove what?
Juliet: That he doesn't love some else.
[Pause]
Kate: Thank you, Juliet. Thank you for saving his life.
[Kate goes out of the tent]
[Pause]
Juliet: I know you're awake.
[Jack opens his eyes]

Bonnie: [on radio, to Ben] One of them is here.
Ben: Which one?
Bonnie: I don't know. he won't say.
Charlie: It's Charlie! Tell him I said hi!
