Cooper: Guess I didn't raise no dummies.
Sawyer: The hell's that mean?
Cooper: It means that bald headed bastard outside the door is my son.
Sawyer: Come again?
Cooper: My son. As in I'm his father. You do speak English?
Sawyer: How did you get here, to the Island?
Cooper: Island? OK. I'm driving down I10 through Tallahassee when bam, somebody slams into the back of my car. I go right into the divider at seventy miles an hour, the next thing I know, the paramedics are strapping me to a gurney, stuffing me into the back of an ambulance and one of them actually smiles at me as he pops the IV in my arm. And then, nothing. Just, black. And the next thing I know I wake up in a dark room tied up, gag in my mouth, and when the door opens, I'm looking up at the same man I threw out a window, John Locke. My dead son.
Sawyer: And he's dead cause you threw him out a window?
Cooper: No he survived that. But it paralysed him, permanently. He's dead because the plane he was flying on crashed in the Pacific.
Sawyer: Well I got bad news for ya pops, cause I was on that plane with your son. He sure as hell wasn't crippled. And we didn't crash in the Pacific, we crashed here on this Island.
Cooper: You sure its an Island?
Sawyer: Well what else is it?
Cooper: Little hot for heaven isn't it?
Sawyer: [Sarcastically] Oh OK, so we're dead?
Cooper: They found your plane on the bottom of the ocean. One minute I'm in a car wreck and the next minute I'm in a pirate ship in the middle of the jungle. If this isn't hell friend, then where are we?
Sawyer: Why did you throw Locke out a window?
Cooper: He was becoming a nuisance. I conned him into giving me one of his kidneys. He never got over it.
Sawyer: [Pauses] Conned?
Cooper: Yes sir, conned.
Sawyer: What's your name?
Cooper: Hmm?
Sawyer: Your name.
Cooper: A conman goes by many names friend. I've been Alan Seward, Anthony Cooper, Ted MacLaren, Tom Sawyer, Louis Jackson, and Paul...
Sawyer: Tom Sawyer.
Cooper: I was young and Huck Finn was taken. And the ladies loved that one. Made me charming.
Sawyer: Well how about that.
Cooper: How about what?
Sawyer: Sawyer's my name too
Cooper: What's the matter with you?
Sawyer: You ever been to Jasper, Alabama?
Cooper: Why?
Sawyer: Have you or haven't you?
Cooper: Yeah I been to Jasper. Don't tell me I'm your daddy?
Sawyer: No. You killed my daddy.
[Sawyer gets his letter out of his pocket � the one to Mr. Sawyer]

Martin Keamy: Mr. Linus, these are my terms. You're gonna step out the front door, put your hands above your head, and you're gonna walk straight to me. Once I have you in my custody, I promise that no one else in that house will be harmed.
Ben: You and I both know that once you have me there's nothing to stop you from killing everybody else on this island.
Martin Keamy: What kind of guy do you think I am?
Ben: Martin Christopher Keamy, former First Sergeant, United States Marine Corps. Served with distinction from 1996 to 2001, but since then you've worked with a number of mercenary organizations, specifically in Uganda. So I know exactly what kind of man you are, Mr. Keamy, and we can dispense with the formalities.

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.

Abbadon: Mr Reyes. Hello. My name is Matthew Abaddon. I'm an attorney for Oceanic Airlines. Can we talk for a few minutes?
Hurley: Ok.
Abbadon: I'm here, Mr Reyes, because we heard about your recent (pauses) episode. Your arrest. Your incarceration here. Frankly we feel terrible about it. So, on behalf of Oceanic, I'd like to extend you an invitation for a little upgrade.
Hurley: What kind of upgrade?
Abbadon: To a facility where the paint isn't peeling off the walls. Where you'd have your own bathroom. You could see the ocean from there...
Hurley: I don't wanna see the ocean.
Abbadon: No problem.
Hurley: Actually thanks, I'm, I'm fine right here.
Abbadon: Are you fine Mr Reyes?
Hurley: What do you mean?
Abbadon: You're in a mental institution.
Hurley: Who'd you say you were again? I'd like to see a business card.
Abbadon: (Abaddon reaches into his pocket, and presents nothing)I must have left them at home.
Hurley: Then we're done, dude. (Hurley gets up)
Abbadon: Are they still alive?
Hurley: (Pauses) What?
Abbadon: You heard me.
Hurley: Nurse. Nurse! Get out of here! You better get out of here! Help me. Help me, he's after me. No no no. That guy's after me. Help me. (Hurley looks over at Abbadon and he leaves)

Sawyer: Wait, Juliet, we've got to talk about this!
Juliet: There's nothing to talk about, James. We have to let Jack do what he came here to do.
Sawyer: Well maybe you should have told me about your change of heart before I brought him out to the jungle to kick his ass!
Juliet: Would that have stopped you?
Sawyer: No -
Juliet: Well, then, I'm glad you got it out of your system.
Sawyer: Hey! Ju - [He makes to grab her]
Juliet: [She pulls away] No, James, don't you -
Sawyer: [He backs off, shocked] ...I need you to tell me where all of this is coming from. One minute you're leading the Great Sub Escape and now you're on board with blowing up the damn island?!
Juliet: I -
Sawyer: I got a right to know why you changed your mind.
Juliet: ...I changed my mind when I saw you look at her.
Sawyer: I don't care who I looked at. I'm with you.
Juliet: ...And you'd stay with me forever, if I let you, which is why... I will always love you. And we knew what we had was just for a little while, and - and just because we love each other doesn't mean that we're meant to be together, so if... if Jack can make it so that you guys never come here, then... he should.
Sawyer: [upset] ...Why are you doing this, Juliet?
Juliet: [sadly] I... if I never meet you... then I never have to lose you. [She leaves]
Season Six

Charlie: I had this dream once. I'm driving a bus, and my teeth start falling out. My mum is in the back, eating biscuits. Everything smells of bacon. It's weird.

"Henry Gale"Men reject their prophets and slay them, but they love their martyrs and honor those whom they have slain. [to Jack] So what's the difference between a martyr and a prophet?"
Jack: "Either way, it sounds like you end up dead."

Kate: So you're the one who wrote our names on the wall?
Jacob: I am.
Kate: Sun and Jin Kwon and Sayid Jarrah. You wrote their names on the wall?
Jacob: Yes,
Kate: Is that why they're dead?
Jacob: I'm very sorry.
Kate: You're sorry?
Hurley: Kate...
Kate: No, I wanna know why. I wanna know that Sun and Jin and Sayid didn't die for nothing.
Jacob:...Come and sit down and I will tell you what they died for. I'll tell you why I chose them. And why I chose you. And I'll tell you everything you need to know about protecting this Island, because by the time that fire burns out, one of you is gonna have to start doing it. [The group gathers around] I don't really know where to start.
Hurley: How about why you brought us to the Island.
Jacob: I brought all of you here because I made a mistake. A mistake I made a very long time ago, and now, because of that there's a very good chance every single one of you and everyone you've ever cared about is going to die.
Sawyer: What mistake?
Jacob: You call him "The Monster." But I'm responsible for what happened to him. I made him that way. And ever since then he's been trying to kill me. It was only a matter of time before he figured out how, and when he did, someone would have to replace me. And that's why I brought you all here.
Sawyer: Tell me something, Jacob. Why do I gotta be punished for your mistake? What made you think you could mess with my life? I was doing just fine until you dragged my ass to this rock.
Jacob: No you weren't. None of you were. I didn't pluck any of you out of some happy existence. You were all flawed. I chose you because you were all like me. You were all alone. You were all looking for something you couldn't find out there. I chose you because you needed this place as much as it needed you.
Kate: Why did you cross my name off of your wall?
Jacob: Because you became a mother. It's just a line of chalk in a cave. The job is yours if you want it, Kate.
Jack: What is the job?
Jacob: There's a light at the center of this Island. You have to make sure it never goes out. That's how you protect it.
Sawyer: Your monster friend said there's nothing to protect it from.
Jacob: You have to protect it from him. You must do what I couldn't. What I wasn't able to do.
Jack: You want us to kill him. Is that even possible?
Jacob: I hope so, because he is certainly going to try to kill you.
Hurley: So...how are you gonna pick?
Jacob: I'm not going to pick, Hugo. I'm going to give you the one thing I was never given. A choice.
Kate: And if none of us chooses?
Jacob: Then this ends very badly.
[There is a pause as everyone looks at one another]
Jack: I'll do it. This is why I'm here. This is...this is what I'm supposed to do.
Jacob: Is that a question, Jack?
Jack:...No,
Jacob: Good, then it's time.

Ana-Lucia: You do what I tell you. When I say, "move" you move. When I say "stop" you stop. When I say "jump", what do you say?
Sawyer: You first.

Adam: [On Stephen King's Carrie] It's not even literature, it's popcorn
Amelia: And why isn't it literature, Adam, I'm dying to know?
Adam: There's no metaphor. It's by-the-number religious hokem-pokem.
Amelia: No metaphor?
Adam: It's science fiction. Now I know why Ben isn't here.
Juliet: Excuse me?
Adam: 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.
[Amelia grins]
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...
[The room begins to shake violently]

Ana-Lucia [sitting below the balloon]: Why isn't it raining here?

Arzt: Did you hear about the guy who invented nitroglycerin? Probably not because he blew his freakin' face off! Nitroglycerin is the most unstable substance known to man. It is extremely temperamental so you have to be..
[Arzt unexpectedly explodes]
Hurley: Dude...

Ana Lucia: You've been waiting 40 days to talk?
Mr. Eko: You waited 40 days to cry.

"Henry Gale": What do you want?!
Sayid: [punches "Henry"] I WANT YOU TO TELL ME THE TRUTH!

Ana Lucia: Are you going to try to convince me that everyone here doesn't hate me?
Jack: Only if you try to convince me that every woman in the world isn't crazy.
