Lost: Memorable Quotes from The Constant

by LiRa

vlcsnap_00085.jpgSAYID: My friend is disoriented!
DESMOND: I’m not your friend! I don’t know you! I don’t know you!
KEAMY: When did he start doing this?
FRANK: He was fine when we took off…when we hit some weather. Hey, Faraday told me as long as I stayed on the vector…

SAYID: What’s happening to Desmond? Your friends know what’s wrong with him.
FRANK: Well if they do, they’re not sharing it with me.
SAYID: Then perhaps you’ll share how we took off at dusk and landed in the middle of the day.
FRANK: Listen. I don’t know what’s happening to your buddy, alright? But you gotta trust me when I tell you this. I am trying to help you.
SAYID: You want to help me? Give me your phone. Let me call my people.

DESMOND: Hello?
DAN: Desmond! Desmond, my name is Daniel Faraday. We met yesterday before you took off? But I’m guessing you don’t remember that. Am I right?
DESMOND: Took off? What?
DAN: Desmond, we don’t have long to talk so I need you to tell me what year you think it is.
DESMOND: What do you mean, what year do I think…it’s 1996!
DAN: Alright, Desmond, Desmond look, you gotta tell me…where are you?
DESMOND: I’m in some kind of sick bay…
DAN: No, no, no, no. Not right now, Desmond. Where are you supposed to be. Where are you in 1996?
DESMOND: Camp Milla, it’s a Royal Scots Regiment. It’s just north of Glasgow.
JACK: Dan. You might wanna…
DAN: No, no, no. I’m thinking, I’m thinking. Desmond, listen. When it happens again, Desmond, I need you to get on a train. Get on a train and go to Oxford, Oxford University, Queens College Physics Department. Alright?
DESMOND: What, why?
DAN: Because I need you to find me.

DESMOND: Are you Daniel Faraday?
DAN: And you are?
DESMOND: I’m Desmond Hume, and I was told I could find you here. I think I’ve just been to the future.
DAN: The future?
DESMOND: Yes. Uh, I spoke to you there, you told me to come here, to Oxford, to find you. You said you’d help me.
DAN: Why didn’t I just help you there in the future?
DESMOND: Sorry?
DAN: Why would I put you through the headache of time travel, you know? You know what I mean, it just seems a little unnecessary. And don’t you think that my esteemed colleagues could have come up with something just a little more believable huh? What kind of a prank is that? Time paradox. So uninspired.
DESMOND: Set your device to 2.342 and make sure it oscillates at eleven.
DAN: Okay, now you, you’re going to tell me who told you those numbers.
DESMOND: You did.
DAN: This is ridiculous.
DESMOND: I know about Eloise.

DESMOND: What do you mean, anchor?
DAN: Something familiar in both times. All this, see this is variables, it’s random, it’s chaotic. Every equation needs stability, something known. It’s called a constant. Desmond, you have no constant. When you go to the future, nothing there is familiar. So if you want to stop this, then you need to find something there, something that you really, really care about, that also exists back here, in 1996.
DESMOND: This constant, can it be a person?
DAN: Yeah, maybe. But you have to make some kind of contact. Didn’t you say you were off on a boat, in the middle of nowhere?
(Desmond uses the phone at Dan’s office)
DAN: who’re you calling?
DESMOND: I’m calling my bloody constant.
OPERATOR: The number you have dialed has been disconnected.

DESMOND: I need to call Penny.
SAYID: Calling your girlfriend is not our priority.
DESMOND: Listen, brother I don’t know you but you seem to know me. So if you and me are friends, then I need your help. I need to call Penny now.
MINKOWSKI: Whoa! You boys are getting way ahead of yourselves. Two days ago, someone sabotaged all the equipment. We lost all communication with the mainland. I probably could have fixed it, but then I went nuts.
SAYID: Where’s the radio room?
MINKOWSKI: It’s one deck up. I’ll take you there. Come on.

PENNY: Just, say what you need to say and go.
DESMOND: I know this doesn’t make any sense because it doesn’t make any sense to me. But eight years from now I need to call you, and I can’t call you if I don’t have your number.
PENNY: What?
DESMOND: Look, Penny, just give me your number. I know I’ve ruined things and I know you think things are over between us, but they’re not. If there’s any part of you that still believes in us, just give me your number.
PENNY: And what’s to say you won’t call me tonight, or tomorrow.
DESMOND: I won’t call for eight years!!! December 24, 2004. Christmas eve. I promise. Please, Pen.
PENNY: If I give you the number, will you leave?
DESMOND: Aye.
PENNY: 7946-0893.

PENNY: Hello?
DESMOND: Penny?
PENNY: Desmond?
DESMOND: Penny…Penny, answer. Answer, Penny.
screen_capture_6.jpg PENNY: Des, where are you?
DESMOND: I’m…I’m on a boat. I’ve been on an island. Oh, my god, Penny. Is that really you?
PENNY: Yeah! Yes, it’s me!
DESMOND: You believe me? You still care about me?
PENNY: Des, I’ve been looking for you for the past three years. I know about the island. I’ve been researching…..(static)….and then when I spoke to your friend Charlie, that’s when I knew you were still alive. That’s when I knew I wasn’t crazy. Des, are you still there!?
DESMOND: Yes, yes, I’m here! I’m still here, can you hear me?
PENNY: Yeah, yeah, that’s better.
DESMOND: I love you, Penny. I’ve always loved you. I’m so sorry. I love you!
PENNY: I love you too.
DESMOND: I don’t know where I am, but —
PENNY: I’ll find you, Des —
DESMOND: I promise —
PENNY: No matter what —
DESMOND: I’ll come back to you —
PENNY: I won’t give up —
BOTH: I promise. I love you.
SAYID: I’m sorry. The power source went dead, it’s all we have.
DESMOND: Thank you, Sayid. It was enough.
SAYID: Are you alright now?
DESMOND: Aye. I’m perfect.
