Lost: Memorable Quotes from The Economist
FRANK: We burned a lot of fuel coming in, it can’t carry much weight. I’ll take three of you.
MILES: In case you zoned out while you were tweezing your goatee, one of these yahoos took Charlotte prisoner.
SAYID: I can bring her back. Safely. And if I do, will you take me to the ship.
FRANK: Absolutely. You bring Charlotte back safe, and I will get you off this island.
SAWYER: You ready to give us the name, Gizmo?
LOCKE: He’s not going to tell you who the spy is on their boat, James.
SAWYER: Yeah, why not?
LOCKE: Because that’s the only thing keeping him alive.
SAWYER: Well here’s an idea: why don’t we take a gun, point it to his big toe and send that little piggy to the market. And if he still doesn’t want to tell us, move on to the roast beef. Why don’t we do that?
LOCKE: Because then we’d have to carry him.
JACK: You should go with them, Kate.
KATE: Are you serious?
JACK: Yeah.
KATE: What, don’t you trust Sayid?
JACK: I don’t trust Locke.
KATE: So what’s preventing him from doing to me what he did to Naomi?
JACK: Sawyer won’t let him.
FRANK: Hey, this guy Sayid – where’s he from?
JACK: Iraq.
FRANK: Iraq? He’s just gonna go and work everything out? What was he, a diplomat?
JACK: No. No, he was a torturer.
SAYID: Naomi, were you close to her?
MILES: Nope. Met her on the boat.
SAYID: You don’t seem particularly affected by her death.
MILES: Sure I’m affected. She was hot and I dug her accent.
KATE: Nice.
SAYID: And this woman, Charlotte. You don’t really care about her, do you?
MILES: Define care.
SAYID: So much for camaraderie.
MILES: Yeah, gee, who’s the one going after one of their crash buddies with guns? Actually, I do care about Locke. Maybe you can tell me how he managed to split your happy little family in half.
SAYID: There was a fundamental debate as to whether your people were coming to rescue us… or kill us.
MILES: And which side did you land on?
SAYID: I let you know when I decide.
JACK: What’s his story?
FRANK: Daniel?
JACK: Yeah.
FRANK: Couldn’t tell ya. Half the stuff he says goes over my head, and the other half goes way, way over.
KATE: Hurley, what happened?
HURLEY: They left me.
HURLEY: Locke’s gone off the reservation, man. I mean, he took this one chick hostage, he said Walt was the one who told him to kill the other chick, and he…
SAYID: Walt?
HURLEY: Dude, don’t ask. I was just, like, trying to argue with him, so he’d just like, you know, chill, but…
MILES: How about you stop babbling and just tell us what happened here, alright?
HURLEY: Who are you?
MILES: Where the hell did they go, Tubby?
HURLEY: Oh awesome. The ship sent us another Sawyer.
SAYID: Where’s Locke?
HURLEY: He’s talking to that angry Chinese guy.
SAYID: I’m not going to hurt you, Hurley.
HURLEY: Yeah… I saw you snap that guy’s neck with that break dancing thing you do with your legs. I think I’ll hang back here.
SAWYER: I ain’t lookin to leave.
KATE: Why not?
SAWYER: I ain’t got nothin’ back there for me.
KATE: What’s here that’s so much better?
SAWYER: Why do you want to go back, Kate? Seem to recall you being shuttled off to jail before we landed here. So if you think there’s anything waiting for you back home other than handcuffs, you really don’t know how the world works. Look around us, Freckles. We’ve got roofs over our heads. Electricity, showers, beds.
KATE: Yeah, how long, Sawyer? How long can do you think we can play house?
SAYID: I agree that these people are liars and they’re certainly not here to rescue us. But if I return safely with Charlotte, they’ll take me to their ship. It’s our best chance of finding out who they are and what they really want.
LOCKE: Well, then, I can save you a lot of trouble, Sayid, because Ben says he’s got a spy on the boat.
SAYID: Who?
BEN: It’s a secret.
SAYID: Forgive me, but the day I start trusting him is the day I would have sold my soul. Give me Charlotte. Allow me to do things my way. Or war is coming, which we will both be powerless to stop.
