Watching Lost

KATE: So you’re telling me that you’ve been here, living with the DHARMA Initiative for the past three years.
SAWYER: That’s right. How long’s it been for you since the chopper?
KATE: Three years.
MILES: [Over radio] [Static] Hey, Jin, this is Miles. Where are you? Over. [Static]
JIN: If I don’t report in soon, they’ll send out a patrol. What should we do with them?
HURLEY: [To Jin] Dude, your English is awesome.
SAWYER: What we do is we bring ‘em in.
JACK: Bring us in where?
SAWYER: Back to the Barracks at DHARMAville. You can’t be wandering around in the jungle with the Hostiles.
KATE: “The Hostiles”?
SAWYER: The Others.
HURLEY: What about everyone else from the plane? They could still be out there.
SAWYER: What do you mean, everyone else?
HURLEY: We didn’t come back alone. Sayid was on the plane, too. Lapidus… and Sun.
SAWYER: Jin! Hold up! Where you goin’?!
JIN: The Flame. If a plane landed on the Island, Radzinsky will know. [Engine starts]
SAWYER: Hold on! We gotta think about this! [Shift gears]
SAWYER: All right. That’s it. Listen, you guys gotta stay put. Don’t go nowhere, don’t do nothing till I can figure out how the hell to explain where you came from.

JULIET: Hey.
SAWYER: You seen my baggy sweatshirt, the one with the bulldog on it?
JULIET: It’s in the laundry. James… what’s going on?
SAWYER: They’re back.
JULIET: I’m sorry. Who’s back?
SAWYER: Jack, Hurley, Kate.
JULIET: What?
SAWYER: I know. They came back, Juliet.
JULIET: Are they here now?
SAWYER: They’re out at the North Point, waitin’ for me to tell ‘em what to do.
JULIET: [Whispers] How did they get…
SAWYER: I’m not sure. They said they were on a plane. [Drops bag]
SAWYER: [Sighs] I don’t understand it any more than you do. But they’re here, and I gotta find a way to bring ‘em in before somebody else finds ‘em and they screw up everything we got here.
JULIET: There’s, um, a sub coming in this afternoon.

SAWYER: All right, listen. Y’all are gonna be the second batch of recruits comin’ in off the sub pullin’ into port right about now, so we ain’t got much time.
SAWYER: Nice suit, doc. Not exactly Island wear. Try this.
JACK: You want us to say we came in on the sub. How’s that gonna work?
SAWYER: Everyone gets knocked out before the trip, so no one meets each other until we process ‘em. If there was a plane, Jin will find it. So we got about ten minutes to make intake, or y’all are gonna be camping in the jungle for a long time. There ain’t another batch of recruits due in for six months.
JACK: What do you think?
KATE: I think we should listen to Sawyer.
HURLEY: I vote for not camping.
SAWYER: Trust me. Do what I say. Everything will be fine. Let’s move.

HURLEY: Okay, so it’s 1977.
SAWYER: Yep.
HURLEY: And… you guys are all members of the DHARMA Initiative.
SAWYER: Yep.
HURLEY: Well, you do realize those dudes get wiped out, right? I saw where all the bodies got dumped.
SAWYER: What about it?
HURLEY: Well, aren’t you gonna warn ‘em? Aren’t you gonna stop it from happening?
SAWYER: I ain’t here to play Nostradamus to these people. Besides, Faraday’s got some interesting theories on what we can and can’t do here. JACK: Did you say Faraday? He’s here?
SAWYER: Not anymore.

LAPIDUS: Sun. I want you to think about this, okay? This guy is dangerous. Sun, that boat I came here on–it was filled with commandos whose only mission was to get him.
BEN: And how’d that work out for everyone?
LAPIDUS: Don’t do it.
SUN: Why don’t you come with us?
LAPIDUS: I can’t. I got a group of people I gotta look after.
BEN: That’s right, Frank. A captain’s first responsibility is to his passengers. But I have people I have to take care of, too. There’s a small dock about a half mile due south across the water. It leads directly to a town where I used to live. There are resources there. So, if anyone can help you and the rest of the plane get out of here safely, it–[Sun hits Ben, knocks him out]
LAPIDUS: I thought you trusted this guy.
SUN: I lied.

JACK: Here we go.
PHIL: Hey, Jack. Have a seat.
DR. CHANG: Of course it isn’t here… [Sighs]
JACK: What’s that?
DR. CHANG: Your file. Could they be any more disorganized on the other side? Sorry. Namaste. I’m Pierre Chang. Welcome to the DHARMA Initiative. How was your ride in?
JACK: It was fine.
DR. CHANG: Good. Who was your shuttle driver?
JACK: I’m sorry?
DR. CHANG: Uh… the shuttle from the sub. Who was your driver?
JACK: Oh, that was, uh… um… Mr. LaFleur.
DR. CHANG: Ah, yes. Good man, LaFleur. Runs a very tight operation. [Sets down clipboard] [Sighs] I’m sorry for the disorganization. The woman who was supposed to be processing you in had a baby last night. I got pulled out of my lab. I… ah, here it is… your job assignment. [Sighs] You’ve been assigned to the Shed.
JACK: “Work man.” What does–what does that mean?
DR. CHANG: Based on your aptitude test, you’ll be doing janitorial work. [Jack chuckles]

PHIL: Hey there, ma’am.
KATE: Hi.
PHIL: They haven’t called you yet?
KATE: No. Not yet.
PHIL: What’s your name?
KATE: Kate… Austen.
PHIL: Austen. [Flips pages] Austen… Huh. You’re not on my list, and you’re not on the sub manifest either. Who’s your recruiter?
KATE: Um…
JULIET: Hold on, Phil. [Sighs] I just got the new list from Amy. Some, uh, last-minute additions, including… Miss Austen?
PHIL: All righty then. She’s all yours. [Phil leaves the two of them.]
JULIET: I’m sorry for the mix-up. I’m Juliet.
KATE: Kate.
JULIET: Hi, Kate. Welcome to the Island.

BOY: Hey, Phil. I’m just gonna go in there and deliver him a sandwich.
PHIL: All right….

BOY: Hello. I brought you a sandwich. I didn’t put mustard on it, but if you’d like some, I could get some.
SAYID: This will be fine. Thank you.
BOY: Are you a Hostile?
SAYID: Do you think I am?
BOY: What’s your name?
SAYID: Sayid. What’s yours?
BOY: I’m Ben.
SAYID: It’s nice to meet you, Ben.
