Kate: [after Arzt died] You ok?
Hurley: That was messed up. He just... exploded, in front of us.

Hurley: Whoever named this place Dark Territory? Genius.

[on the raft; Walt is asleep]
Sawyer: Know what I like about you, Mike? You got the patience of a saint.
Michael: Yeah? Why you say that?
Sawyer: I've seen the way he talks to you. The way he runs around, does whatever the hell he wants. I'd have shown him the back of my hand a long time ago.
Michael: You would, huh?
Sawyer: Hell of a lot cheaper than a shrink.
Michael: Is that what your father did to you? Show you the back of his hand?
Sawyer: My daddy never got a chance to beat me. He shot himself when I was eight.
Michael: [after a pause] That why you want to die, man?
Sawyer: What?
Michael: Since the day you told me you wanted on this raft, I couldn't figure it out. Why does a guy who only cares about himself want to risk his life to save everyone else? Yeah... way I see it, there's only two choices. You're either a hero, or you want to die.
Sawyer: [gruffly] Well... I ain't no hero, Mike.

Hurley: Guess that explains it.

- What are you, crazy? let it go!
- Get off! let it go!
- Get off! Get off me!

Walter: Daaaaaad!

Jack: If anyone hears or sees anything...

Locke: [Explaining why he wanted to let the island monster drag him off] I believe that I was being tested.
Jack: Tested?
Locke: Yeah, tested. I think... that's why you and I don't see eye-to-eye sometimes, Jack. Because you're a man of science.
Jack: Yeah. And what does that make you?
Locke: Me, well, I'm a man of faith. Do you really think all this... is an accident? That we, a group of strangers, survived, many of us with just superficial injuries? Do you think we crashed on this place by coincidence, especially this place? We were brought here for a purpose, for a reason, all of us. Each one of us was brought here for a reason.
Jack: Brought here? And who brought us here, John?
Locke: The island. The island brought us here. This is no ordinary place, you've seen that, I know you have. But the island chose you, too, Jack. It's destiny.
Jack: Did you talk with Boone about destiny, John?
Locke: Boone was a sacrifice that the island demanded. What happened to him at that plane was a part of a chain of events that led us here -- that led us down a path -- that led you and me to this day, to right now.
Jack: And where does that path end, John?
Locke: The path ends at the hatch. The hatch, Jack -- all of it -- all of it happened so that we could open the hatch.
Jack: No, no, we're opening the hatch so that we can survive.
Locke: Survival is all relative, Jack.
Jack: I don't believe in destiny.
Locke: [pause] Yes, you do. You just don't know it yet.

- If anyone hears anything or sees anything...
- Like the security system that eats people?
- You two, you take your packs off, you put 'em down and you run.

- Yes, sir.
- Let's do this.

- No one's punishing us.
- No such thing as fate.

- I'm fine. Keep going.
- We're losing the light.

- I'm coming.

- Damn it.
- You heard her.
- Explosives are in the hold. Let's go.
- Hold on. I came here to tell you how to handle dynamite, not explore a ghost ship.
- You think...
- Just... stay out here.
- I'm gonna stay out here and hang with arnzt.

Mr. Artz: And then my third wife, she says - get this - she says, "I didn't sign up for this". Now you tell me, what the hell is that even supposed to mean?
[Hurley doesn't reply]
Mr. Artz: What, am I boring you?
Hurley: Huh?
Mr. Artz: You know what? I'm sorry. I'm sorry I'm not cool enough to be part of your merry little band of adventurers.
Hurley: What?
Mr. Artz: I know a clique when I see it. I teach high school, pally! You know, you people think you're the only ones on this island doing anything of value. Well, I've got news for you. There were forty other survivors of this plane crash and we are all people, too.
Hurley: Okaaaaay...

Claire: [looking at the scratch on Danielle's arm, remembering fighting her in her sleep] When did I do that? Why did I scratch you?

- You want to waste time assigning blame?
- There's plenty to go around.

- If we leave now, we can catch her.
- How we gonna do that?

- Please now...

Leslie: Did you hear about the guy who invented nitroglycerin? he blew his freakin' face off! His lab assistant came in the next morning, found his boss' body, and said, "Huh. I guess this stuff works." Nitroglycerin is the most unstable substance known to man. It is extremely temperamental, so you have to be...

Michael: Thank you.

- See you soon. yes, you will.

- Kind of bad luck.
- Hey...

- An accident.

- Do you think we're being punished?
- Punished for what?
- Things we did before.
- The secrets we kept.
- The lies we told.
- Who do you think is punishing us?

Walter: How come you and my mom didn't stay together?
Michael: We tried, but it just didn't work out. Our lives, out interests just went in different directions.
Walter: How come I never saw you?
Michael: Cause your mom didn't want me to. She did what she thought was best for you.
Walter: She was wrong.
