Watching Lost

LOCKE: Let’s go.
SAWYER: Why are you going East? Thought you said the Barracks were due South.
LOCKE: Because, James, we have to make a little detour first.
SAWYER: Detour to what?
LOCKE: There’s a cabin I have to go to.
HURLEY: I think the cabin was back that way.
LOCKE: What did you say Hugo?
HURLEY: I er, thought you were talking about the airplane cabin.
SAWYER: Why are we wasting our time going to some shack anyway?
LOCKE: Because we’re supposed to.
SAWYER: Right. Like you were supposed to throw a knife into that Naomi chick’s back.
LOCKE: Ahuh.
SAWYER: You mind telling us who you’re getting your orders from, Colonel Kurtz?
LOCKE: I got it from Walt.

JULIET: Jack still isn’t back. Anything?
SAYID: No. But its a big Island. The freighter could be approaching from the other side.
JULIET: That’s the spirit.
SAYID: Juliet, you lived amongst the Others, why would Ben say the people coming here intend to do us harm?
JULIET: Because he’s a liar. And he’s trying to scare us, that’s what Ben does. Or, because the people coming here intend to do us harm.

JACK: Hey, Daniel. Why did you bring the gun?
DAN: Err, as a precaution.
JACK: Precaution against what?
DAN: Okay, see rescuing you and your people…can’t really say its our primary objective.

SAWYER: What the hell do you mean you saw Walt? In a dream?
LOCKE: No dream, it was Walt. Only, taller.
SAWYER: Taller? What like a giant? OK, what exactly did Walt tell you?
LOCKE: He said I had work to do. That I had to stop this woman, Naomi, from bringing the rest of her people here.
SAWYER: What you didn’t ask any follow-up questions?
LOCKE: Ben had shot me and left me for dead, Walt saved my life, so I pretty much took him at his word.
SAWYER: He shot you? Yet here you are fit as a fiddle tromping through the jungle.
LOCKE: The bullet went in one side, came out the other. I’d probably be dead if I still had a kidney there.

BEN: Mind if I ask you a question, James?
SAWYER: Yeah I do.
BEN: Why’d you leave Kate behind?
SAWYER: Wasting your time, Yoda.

SAYID: What are your names?
DAN: Er I’m Daniel Faraday, and this is Miles…
MILES: Don’t tell him my last name.
DAN: I guess it’s just Miles.
SAYID: What do you do for a living, Daniel?
DAN: I’m a physicist. Well I guess you could call me a physicist, I don’t really like being pigeon-holed into one…
MILES: Dan, I swear to God you say one more word I’m gonna break your fingers.
SAYID: And what do you do, Miles?
MILES: I collect soil samples.
SAYID: Oh that’s nice, well maybe you can help me. You say you’re not here on a rescue mission, and the world at large believes us to be dead. But here we are alive and well, and you don’t seem remotely surprised to see us.
MILES: [Sarcastically] Oh my God, you guys were on Oceanic Flight 815, wow! That better?

NAOMI: So this is the team.
MATTHEW: You familiarised yourself with their profiles?
NAOMI: Unfortunately, yes. With respect, these are the wrong people for a mission like this. None of them have field experience, military training.
NAOMI: You can’t just drop them in unprotected. It’ll be a disaster.
MATTHEW: They’re not unprotected, they have you.
NAOMI: There’s only so much I can do.
MATTHEW: Your modesty is positively charming.
NAOMI: This is a high risk covert op in unstable territory. It’s dodgy enough without having to babysit a head case, ghost buster, anthropologist and a drunk.
MATTHEW: To be fair he’s also a pretty good pilot.
NAOMI: It’s madness. What if we find survivors from 815?
MATTHEW: There were no survivors.
NAOMI: I know, but what if there are survivors…
MATTHEW: There were no survivors of Oceanic 815. Don’t ask questions, just do what you were hired for. Every member of this team was selected for a specific purpose, everything relies on you, getting them in, getting them out, and preventing anyone from getting killed. Think you can do that?
NAOMI: Sure. Why not.

BEN: John, listen. I have information that you need. I have answers.
LOCKE: What is the Monster?
BEN: What?
LOCKE: The black smoke, the Monster, what is it?
BEN: I don’t know.
LOCKE: Then goodbye, Benjamin.
BEN: Her name is Charlotte Lewis! Charlotte Staples Lewis. Born July second, nineteen seventy-nine, Essex, England. Parents David and Jeanette. Eldest of three, all girls. She was raised in Bromsgrove. Did her undergraduate studies at Kent. Took her PhD in Cultural Anthropology at Oxford. She’s here with two other team members and a pilot. Their names Daniel Faraday, Miles Straume, Frank Lapidus. Your instinct was right, John, these people are a threat, and if you shoot me you’ll never know how great a threat they were. Because I know what they’re doing here. I know what they want.
SAWYER: What do they want?
BEN: Me, James, they want me.
LOCKE: How do you know all this?
BEN: Because I have a man on their boat.
