Watching Lost

JACK: Sorry you got dragged into this, but we need to know that you’re with us.
FRANK: Whatever you guys decide, I’ll just roll with.
JACK: Hurley, what about you?
HURLEY: I don’t think we should lie dude.
JACK: We need to protect the people that we left behind Hurley.
HURLEY: How does lying protect them?
JACK: It protects them from Charles Widmore. The guy hired a boatload of people to kill all of us, he faked a plane crash. I mean, you think telling him the truth, he’s just gonna, he’s gonna leave them alone?
HURLEY: Look, he’s your dad, right? Can’t you just, like, call him off?
PENNY: There’s no calling my father off.
HURLEY: But, he’ll never find them. I mean, the island disappeared. We all saw it. It’s gone.
JACK: You think anyone’s going to believe that? Believe any of it? They’re gonna think you’re crazy.
HURLEY: Not unless someone backs me up. Sayid, come on. They’ll think I’m nuts if I tell the truth, but what if we all do? I mean, if we can stick together, we can make them believe us. I don’t wanna spend the rest of my life lying. Do you?
SAYID: No. But, I don’t believe we have a better choice. I’m sorry Hurley, but we have to lie.
HURLEY: You know what dude? I’m gonna remember this. Then someday, you’re gonna need my help, and I’m telling you right now, you’re not getting it.

KATE: So how long are you in LA?
SUN: Just a few days. I have some business to attend to. But I wanted to see you. Here it is. Her name’s Ji Yeon. Here’s a baby picture.
KATE: Awww. She’s beautiful.
SUN: Thank you. She’s with her grandmother in Seoul. I hope someday you get to meet her. It would be nice to see her and Aaron play together.
KATE: Yeah.
SUN: Kate? Are you alright?
KATE: Yeah, I’m fine.
SUN: Are you?
KATE: Somebody knows we’re lying.
SUN: What?
KATE: Some lawyers came to see me.
SUN: Who?
KATE: Two men. They came to my house and they asked for a blood sample. Some kinda lawsuit. They wanted to test to see if, to see if Aaron’s my son.
SUN: Who do these lawyers represent?
KATE: I don’t know. They wouldn’t tell me who their client is.
SUN: Then they’re not interested in exposing the lie.
KATE: How do you know?
SUN: Because if they were, they would just do it. They wouldn’t come to you in private. They don’t care that we’re lying. They just want Aaron.
KATE: Who? Who would do that?
SUN: I don’t know. But you need to take care of them.
KATE: What do you mean “take care of them”?
SUN: Wouldn’t you do anything you had to in order to keep Aaron?
KATE: What kind of a person do you think I am?
SUN: The kind of person who makes hard decisions when she has to.

CARMEN: Who is Sayid? I thought he was your friend.
HURLEY: He is my friend. But he’s also got this double life where he does crazy ninja moves and spy stuff. But he’s a good guy.
CARMEN: A good guy doesn’t kill three men. A good guy doesn’t kill anyone.
HURLEY: Mom.
CARMEN: Don’t Mom me. You’re in terrible trouble Hugo. The news thinks you did this. And if the news does, everyone does. Why is this happening? How can anyone want to hurt you?
HURLEY: I dunno.
CARMEN: Tell your mother the truth.
HURLEY: We lied, Ma.
CARMEN: What do you mean, you lied?
HURLEY: All of us. The Oceanic Six. We lied about what happened after the crash.
CARMEN: And what did happen?
HURLEY: Ok. See we did crash. It was on this crazy island. And we waited for rescue, and there wasn’t any rescue. And then there was a smoke monster. And there were other people on the island. We called them “The Others”. And they started attacking us. And we found some hatches. And there was a button you had to press every 108 minutes, or…Well, I was never really clear on that. But, the Others didn’t have anything to do with the hatches. That was the DHARMA Initiative. They were all dead. The Others killed them. And now they’re trying to kill us. And then we teamed up with the Others because some worse people were coming on a freighter. Desmond’s girlfriend’s father sent them to kill us. So we stole their helicopter and we flew it to the freighter, but it blew up. And we couldn’t go back to the island because it disappeared. So then we crashed into the ocean and we floated there for awhile until a boat came and picked us up. And by then there were six of us. That part was true. But then, but the rest of the people who were on the plane, they’re still on that island.
CARMEN: I believe you. I don’t understand you. But I believe you.
HURLEY: A lot of people died Ma. And now this bad stuff is happening because, well, we shouldn’t have lied.
