Dan (staring at the hatch crater): Is this the hatch?
Sawyer: It was. Blown up, just like we left it.
Dan: Okay. So when we are now... It's now after you and your people crashed on the island.
Sawyer: You sayin' our camp is back on the beach again?
Dan: It's possible, yeah.
Sawyer: Good. I'm going back.
Dan: Hey. No, no. (stoping him) It's pointless.
Sawyer: More pointless than staring at a hole in the ground?
Dan: We don't know when the next flash is coming. By the time you get back to the beach, the camp could be gone again.
Sawyer: Yeah. But what if it ain't? Hell, what if the helicopter hasn't even taken off yet?
Juliet: We could warn them. Stop them from ever flying to that boat.
Dan: That is not the way it works.
Sawyer: Who says?
Dan: You cannot change anything. You can't. Even if you tried to, it wouldn't work.
Sawyer: Why not?
Dan: Time it's like a street, all right? We can move forward on that street, we can move in reverse, but we cannot ever create a new street. If we try to do anything different, we will fail every time. Whatever happened, happened.
