[The Man In Black leads his group through the jungle.]
The Man In Black: About a quarter mile ahead there's a clearing. We'll make camp there. Everybody fill up on water. We might be there a couple of days.
Sawyer: A couple of days? I thought you said we were getting off this rock?
The Man In Black: We are.
Sawyer: When?
[Some people within the group notice this dispute. The Man In Black notices them watching him and Sawyer have their arguement]
The Man In Black: Maybe we should talk about this in private.
Sawyer: Great. Let's go.
[The Man In Black leads Sawyer into a jungle clearing away from the rest of the group]
The Man In Black: I wish you hadn't interrupted me.
Sawyer: [Sarcasticly] Oh I'm sorry... I forgot my manners.
The Man In Black: I forgive you.
Sawyer: Yeah right....So what happened back at the temple? How'd you know to rescue everybody from that smoke thing?
The Man In Black: I didn't rescue them. [Pause] I'm the smoke thing.
[Sawyer looks shocked and confused by the news]
Sawyer: You telling me you killed all of those people?
The Man In Black: I gave them the opportunity to leave peacefully and they didn't take it.
Sawyer: Why not?
The Man In Black: Because they're convinced that they're protecting the Island from me, when in fact all I want to do is leave. [Pause] So it's either kill or be killed. And I don't wanna be killed James.
