Lost (season 4)
Lost (2004–2010) is an American drama television series, airing on ABC, created by J. J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof, about the survivors of a plane crash who are forced to work together in order to survive on a seemingly deserted tropical island.
The Beginning of the End [4.01]
[edit]- Hugo "Hurley" Reyes: Did I ever tell you I won the lottery? I had like a hundred and fifty million dollars. Worst thing that ever happened to me.
- Bernard Nadler: Oh yeah, who needs a hundred and fifty million dollars, right?
- [Jack and Danielle are tracking Naomi with Ben]
- Danielle Rousseau: The blood trail ends here.
- Jack Shephard: What do you mean?
- Danielle Rousseau: It ends.
- Jack Shephard: You're telling me she stopped bleeding here?
- Danielle Rousseau: No. I'm telling you that she fooled us. Doubled back.
- Ben Linus: Better call the boat. Tell em she's getting a real big bundle of firewood.
- Hugo "Hurley" Reyes: I may be in a mental hospital, but I know you're dead and I'm not having an imaginary conversation with you.
- Charlie Pace: I am dead. But I'm also here.
- John Locke: I'm going to the Barracks. The Others abandoned them. Its the only place on the Island with any form of security right now, it'll have to do until I can think of something else. Until then, if you wanna live, you need to come with me.
- Jack Shephard: No one's going anywhere with you, John. Because they're not crazy.
- Hugo "Hurley" Reyes: He's not crazy. What about Charlie? Charlie went down to that place so we could all be rescued. And whatever he did down there, it worked. But then something must have happened. He must have heard something before he...I don't know why, but he changed his mind. Because the last thing he did was to warn us that the people on that boat are not who they said they were. So I'm not listening to you. I'm listening to my friend. I'm listening to Charlie.
- Kate Austen: What are you doing?
- James "Sawyer" Ford: Same thing I've always done, Kate: surviving.
Confirmed Dead [4.02]
[edit]- Daniel Faraday: [to Jack] Er, okay, see, erm, rescuing you and your people. Can't really say it's our primary objective.
- Ben Linus: James. Look at yourself. Yes, on this Island you're brave, daring, handsome, you're someone, but if you left with them, back in the real-world a low-life scam artist like you could never compete with a first class surgeon. I think Kate was really upset when you made your choice to come with us. Thank god she has Jack there to comfort-
- [Sawyer attacks Ben]
- John Locke: James! Don't!
- James "Sawyer" Ford: Don't what!? Anyone wanna tell me why we're keeping this guy alive?
- John Locke: We're keeping him alive because he's been on this Island a lot longer than any of us. Because he has information we need. And because apart from his mouth, he's completely harmless.
- James "Sawyer" Ford: His mouth put that hole in your gut?
- John Locke: Okay, James. Let's execute him, right here, right now, in front of his daughter.
- James "Sawyer" Ford: It's only a matter of time before he gets us, Johnny. And I bet he's already figured out how he's gonna do it.
- Jack Shephard: Put the guns down.
- Miles Straume: Now why would I do that?
- Jack Shephard: Because our friends are out in the jungle right now holding a gun at your head, and his head. So I'm gonna forget about the misunderstanding. Just put the guns down.
- Miles Straume: Come on, how stupid do you think I-
- [gunshots are heard and Miles and Daniel duck. Sayid and Juliet emerge and Kate takes Daniel's gun]
- Jack Shephard: I dunno, Miles. How stupid are ya?
- Sayid Jarrah: What are your names?
- Daniel Faraday: Er, I'm Daniel Faraday, and this is Miles...
- Miles Straume: Don't tell him my last name.
- Daniel Faraday: I guess it's just Miles.
- Sayid Jarrah: What do you do for a living, Daniel?
- Daniel Faraday: I'm a physicist. Well, I guess you could call me a physicist, I don't really like being pigeon-holed into one...
- Miles Straume: Dan, I swear to God, you say one more word, I'm gonna break your fingers.
- Sayid Jarrah: And what do you do, Miles?
- Miles Straume: [sarcastically] I collect soil samples.
- Sayid Jarrah: 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 Straume: [sarcastically] Oh my God, you guys were on Oceanic Flight 815! Wow! [normally] That better?
- James "Sawyer" Ford: Who are we to argue with taller ghost Walt?
The Economist [4.03]
[edit]- Sayid Jarrah: [to Jack about Locke] The last time you encountered him, you put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger. That's not good diplomacy.
- Kate Austen: Kinda sucks, huh?
- Jack Shephard: What's that?
- Kate Austen: Being told not to come along. (Jack chuckles) Now you know what it feels like to be me.
- Jack Shephard: Does that mean I should wait twenty minutes and go anyway?
- Kate Austen: Touché.
- Jack Shephard: What's his story?
- Frank Lapidus: Daniel?
- Jack Shephard: Yeah.
- Frank Lapidus: Couldn't tell ya. Half the stuff he says goes way over my head; the other half goes way, way over.
- Miles Straume: Where the hell did they go, Tubby?
- Hugo "Hurley" Reyes: Oh, awesome. The ship sent us another Sawyer.
- Sayid Jarrah: [about Ben, his future employer] Forgive me, but the day I start trusting him is the day I would have sold my soul.
- Ben Linus: [to Locke] I feel for you, John. I really do. You keep hitting dead ends. You couldn't find the cabin, you can't make contact with Jacob — you're so desperate to figure out what to do next, you're even asking me for help. So here we are, just like old times. Except I'm locked in a different room, and you're more lost than you ever were.
- John Locke: You may think this is a democracy, Kate, because of the way Jack ran things, but this is not a democracy.
- Kate Austen: Then I guess that makes it a dictatorship.
- John Locke: If I was a dictator, I would just shoot you, and go about my day. Dinner's at six if you're hungry.
- Ben Linus: You've arranged this meeting so you could blackmail me?
- Miles Straume: It's extortion if you want to get technical.
- John Locke: [Locke has just put a live grenade in Miles' mouth] I realize that when I tied you up in here the other day, I made the mistake of failing to introduce myself. My name is John Locke, and I'm responsible for the well-being of this island. Eventually, Miles, you're going to tell me who you are, you're going to tell me about the people on the boat, and you're going to tell me why you're so interested in Ben. In the meantime, however, you're going to keep your mouth shut. I learned something yesterday. No use in having rules if there's no punishment for breaking them. You'll be fine if you bite down on the trigger. Enjoy your breakfast.
The Constant [4.05]
[edit]- Daniel Faraday: Why would I put you through the headache of time travel, you know? You know what I mean, it just seems a little... unnecessary.
- Daniel Faraday: I think Eloise's brain short-circuited. The jumps between the present and the future eventually, she eventually, she couldn't tell which was which. She had no anchor.
- Desmond Hume: What do you mean, "anchor"?
- Daniel Faraday: Something familiar in both times. All this, see all this is all 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, something that also exists back here in 1996.
- Desmond Hume: This constant, can it be a person?
- Daniel Faraday: Yeah, maybe. But you have to make contact. Didn't you say you were out on a boat in the middle of nowhere? [Desmond picks up a phone and begins dialing] Uh, who are you calling?
- Desmond Hume: Calling my bloody constant.
- George Minkowski: Two days ago, someone sabotaged all the equipment. We lost all communication with the mainland. I probably could have fixed it, but then...then I went nuts.
- George Minkowski: I...can't....get....back!
- [on the phone]
- Desmond Hume: I love you, Penny. I've always loved you. I'm so sorry. I love you.
- Penelope Widmore: I love you too.
- Desmond Hume: I don't know where I am but,
- Penelope Widmore: I'll find you, Des,
- Desmond Hume: I promise,
- Penelope Widmore: no matter what-
- Desmond Hume: I'll come back to you.
- Penelope Widmore: I won't give up.
- Desmond Hume: I promise.
- Penelope Widmore: I promise.
- Both: I love you.
The Other Woman [4.06]
[edit]- Juliet Burke: [to Jack] It's very stressful being an Other, Jack.
- Ben Linus: Rabbit today?
- John Locke: We're running out of chickens.
- Ben Linus: [poking at his food suspiciously] This didn't have a number on it, did it?
- Ben Linus: I always have a plan.
- Ben Linus: [to Locke] John, three months ago in Gainesville, Florida, the Virgin Mary seemed to appear in a patch of mold on the side of an old housing complex. When the word got out, over 5,000 people came to see her face for themselves. You've survived an airline crash on this island. One minute, you're in a wheelchair. The next minute, you're doing jumping jacks. If 5,000 people came out to see a piece of mold, how many people do you think would come here to see you? Charles Widmore wants to exploit this island, and he'll do everything in his power to possess it.
- [Ben has shown Juliet Goodwin's body]
- Juliet Burke: Why are you showing me this? Why did you bring me out here?
- Ben Linus: What, you mean instead of his wife?
- Juliet Burke: You knew this would happen. You sent him out here because you knew this would happen. You wanted this! You wanted him to die! Why?
- Ben Linus: "Why"? You're asking me "why"? After everything I did to get you here, after everything I've done to keep you here, how can you possibly not understand... that you're mine! [beat, changes tone] Take as much time as you need.
- [Bernard is fishing with Jin]
- Bernard Nadler: You realize we're the only two married guys on the island? Married?
- Jin Soo-Kwon: Married.
- Bernard Nadler: Yeah, well, no, not to each other. No. You got it. It's not easy, is it? Oh, I mean, it's--it's wonderful, but... let's face it, every decision that you make takes twice as long. 'Cause you always gotta talk them into it. [beat[ Rose... has cancer. She's sick. Dying. Well, at least, she 'was' dying. She says she's better now. She says it's this place... the island. But when the camp split up, I was sure that she'd want to go with Locke. Why would she want to leave the island, and risk getting sick again?
- Jin Soo-Kwon: Then why do you stay with Jack?
- Bernard Nadler: Because it was the right thing to do. Locke... he's a murderer. See, it's all about karma, Jin. Do you know karma? You make bad choices, bad things happen to you. But you make good choices, and then good—
- [A fish takes the bait on Jin's rod]
- Bernard Nadler: Hey! Hey, hey, hey! You got one! Yeah. Here, pull it in.
- [Jin pulls the fish in]
- Bernard Nadler: Wow, look at that! You see? Now, that's karma. We must be the good guys, huh?
- Gault: [to Desmond and Sayid] This black box comes from Oceanic Flight 815. A salvage vessel recovered it from the bottom of the ocean. It took a considerable amount of Mr. Widmore's resources to procure it. It was found with the wreckage of the plane, along with all 324 dead passengers. That's not the complete story, as you are well aware, Mr. Jarrah, given the fact that you're standing here, breathing... the wreckage was obviously staged. Now can you imagine what kind of resources and manpower go into pulling off a feat of that magnitude? Faking the recovery of a plane crash? Putting 324 families through a grieving process based on a lie? But what's even more disturbing... where exactly does one come across 324 dead bodies? And that, Mr. Jarrah, Mr. Hume, is just one of the many reasons we want Benjamin Linus.
Meet Kevin Johnson [4.08]
[edit]- John Locke: Miles offered his loyalty in exchange for the money. But as I haven't seen a bank on the island, I didn't think it worth mentioning.
- [Miles chuckles]
- James "Sawyer" Ford: Somethin' funny?
- Miles Straume: Linus will find a way to get it.
- James "Sawyer" Ford: And how will he do that?
- Miles Straume: He wants to survive. And considering a week ago you had a gun to his head, and tonight he's eating pound cake... I'd say he's a guy who gets what he wants.
- Mrs. Dawson: [to Michael] I thought you were dead! They said your plane crashed in the middle of the ocean, but you show up here fine and dandy, only I can't tell anybody about you or Walt, can't call you by your real names. He barely talks to me, but he does wake up screaming in the middle of the night, and I'm the one that's got to tell him it's gonna be okay. So until you can explain to me where you were for over two months and what happened... you gave up your rights.
- Tom Friendly: [to Michael] Manhattan, huh? We let you leave one island, you just go to another one.
- Michael Dawson: Why would I help the son of a bitch who kidnapped my son?
- Tom Friendly: We gave him back to you in one piece, Mike, you're the one who lost him.
- Tom Friendly: [to Michael] How was your trip? I figure flying can't be too much fun for you.
The Shape of Things to Come [4.09]
[edit]- Hugo "Hurley" Reyes: We're all gonna die.
- James "Sawyer" Ford: Calm down, Chicken Little. Sky ain't falling just yet.
- Hugo "Hurley" Reyes: This is exactly what he wants. To fight amongst ourselves. You're making a big mistake, dude.
- John Locke: It's his to make, Hugo. Let's get on with it.
- James "Sawyer" Ford: Right. [pauses] I'm attacking Siberia.
- [The camera zooms out revealing that they are playing Risk. Sawyer and Hurley roll the dice, and Sawyer wins.] Sorry.
- Hugo "Hurley" Reyes: Can't believe you're just giving him Australia. Australia's the key to the whole game.
- James "Sawyer" Ford: Says you.
- Bedouin: Surrender! Surrender!
- Ben Linus: Oh, so you do speak English.
- Martin Keamy: Mr. Linus, these are my terms. You're gonna step out the front door, put your hands above your head, and you're gonna walk straight to me. Once I have you in my custody, I promise that no one else in that house will be harmed.
- Ben Linus: You and I both know that once you have me there's nothing to stop you from killing everybody else on this island.
- Martin Keamy: What kind of guy do you think I am?
- Ben Linus: Martin Christopher Keamy, former First Sergeant, United States Marine Corps. Served with distinction from 1996 to 2001, but since then you've worked with a number of mercenary organizations, specifically in Uganda. So I know exactly what kind of man you are, Mr. Keamy, and we can dispense with the formalities.
- Martin Keamy: [beat] Okay, Ben. You got it.
- Ben Linus: Alex... I have this under control. Everything's gonna be okay.
- Alex Rousseau: Please, daddy! Just please, please...
- Martin Keamy: You have 10 seconds, Ben.
- Ben Linus: Okay, listen.
- Martin Keamy: Nine...
- Ben Linus: She's not my daughter.
- Martin Keamy: Eight...
- Ben Linus: I stole her as a baby from an insane woman. She's a pawn, nothing more. She means nothing to me. I'm not coming out of this house. So if you want to kill her, go ahead and do it—
- [Keamy shoots Alex, leaving Ben in stunned silence]
- [Ben has just broken into Charles Widmore's penthouse]
- Charles Widmore: Why are you here?
- Ben Linus: I'm here, Charles, because you murdered my daughter.
- Charles Widmore: Don't stand there looking at me with those horrible eyes of yours, and lay the blame for the death of that poor girl on me, when we both know very well I didn't murder her at all, Benjamin. You did.
- Ben Linus: No, that's not true.
- Charles Widmore: Yes, Benjamin, it is. You creep into my bedroom in the dead of night, like a rat, and have the audacity to pretend that you're the victim? I know who you are, boy, what you are. I know that everything you have you took from me. [beat] So. Once again I ask you, why are you here?
- Ben Linus: I'm here, Charles, to tell you that I'm going to kill your daughter. Penelope, is it? And once she's gone, once she's dead, then you'll understand how I feel, and you'll wish you hadn't changed the rules.
- Charles Widmore: You'll never find her.
- [Ben turns around and begins to walk away]
- Charles Widmore: That island's mine, Benjamin. It always was. It will be again.
- Ben Linus: [Turns around] But you'll never find it.
- Charles Widmore: Then I suppose the hunt is on for both of us.
- Ben Linus: I suppose it is. Sleep tight, Charles.
Something Nice Back Home [4.10]
[edit]- Jack Shephard: [reading to Aaron] "Alice took up the fan and gloves, and, as the hall was very hot, she kept fanning herself all the time she went on talking: Dear, dear! How queer everything is to-day! And yesterday things went on just as usual. I wonder if I've been changed in the night. Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? But if I'm not the same, the next question is, 'Who in the world am I?' Aha, that's the great puzzle."
- Bernard Nadler: [to Jack] Wouldn't you rather be dreaming about something nice back home?
- Juliet Burke: I'm sorry I yelled at you.
- Kate Austen: Don't worry about it. You had enough going on.
- Juliet Burke: You know, he kissed me.
- Kate Austen: What?
- Juliet Burke: The other day, when you came back from the other side of the Island, Jack kissed me.
- Kate Austen: Oh.
- Juliet Burke: It was nice... but it wasn't for me. It was for him. I'm pretty sure he was trying to prove something.
- Kate Austen: Prove what?
- Juliet Burke: That he doesn't love someone else.
- Kate Austen: Thank you, Juliet. Thank you for saving his life.
- Jack Shephard: [to Kate] I'm the one who came back. I'm the one who's here. I'm the one who saved you.
Cabin Fever [4.11]
[edit]- Ray: What did this to him?
- Martin Keamy: A black pillar of smoke threw him 50 feet in the air... ripped his guts out.
- Horace Goodspeed: I'm not making any sense, am I?
- John Locke: No.
- Horace Goodspeed: That's probably because I've been dead for 12 years.
- John Locke: You ever wonder what happened to the Dharma Initiative, Hugo? There must have been at least a hundred of 'em living on this island. Manning the stations, building those homes, making all that ranch dressing that you like. And then, one day, they're all gone, they just disappear. You wanna know where we're going? [Walks over to the pit that contains the bodies of the Dharma Initiative] We're going to see them.
- Hugo "Hurley" Reyes: What happened to them?
- John Locke: [jerks his head at Ben] He did.
- Gellert: I'm gonna tell you something--something I wish someone had told me at your age. You might not want to be that guy in the labs surrounded by test tubes and beakers, but that's who you are, John. You can't be the prom king. You can't be the quarterback. You can't be a superhero.
- John Locke: Don't tell me what I can't do.
- [Locke, Ben, and Hurley are looking for Jacob's cabin]
- John Locke: It should be about two hundred yards this way.
- Ben Linus: You sure it's gonna be there, John?
- John Locke: I'm sorry?
- Ben Linus: The cabin. What if its moved, again?
- John Locke: It hasn't moved, because I was told this is where it would be.
- Ben Linus: I was told a lot of things too. That I was chosen, that I was special. I end up with a tumor on my spine and my daughter's blood all over my hands.
- John Locke: I'm sorry those things happened to you, Ben.
- Ben Linus: [bitterly] Those things had to happen to me. That was my destiny. But you'll understand soon enough that there are consequences to being chosen. Because destiny, John, is a fickle bitch.
- Jack Shephard: We all know the story. If we get any questions that we don't wanna answer, or that we can't answer, let's just keep our mouths shut. It's okay. They'll--they'll think that we're in shock.
- Sun Hwa-Kwon: We are in shock, Jack.
- Jack Shephard: Well... then this should be easy.
- James "Sawyer" Ford: [following Jack] Hold up! You don't get to die alone.
- Ben Linus: [to Hurley, who's eating boxed crackers] You know, those are 15 years old.
- Sun Hwa-Kwon: Is something wrong?
- Woo-Jung Paik: Just some complications with the company. Nothing you'd understand. How is the pregnancy?
- Sun Hwa-Kwon: Don't pretend to be interested in my baby. We both know you hated my husband.
- Woo-Jung Paik: What did you say?
- Sun Hwa-Kwon: You heard me. You hated Jin.
- Woo-Jung Paik: Who do you think you are? I am your father. You will respect me!
- Sun Hwa-Kwon: Oceanic paid us our settlement for the crash. It was very significant. This morning, I bought a controlling interest in your company. So you will now respect me.
- Woo-Jung Paik: Why... would you do this?
- Sun Hwa-Kwon: You ruined my husband's life. It is because of you we were on that plane. Two people are responsible for his death. You are one of them. I am going to have my baby. And then we shall discuss the plans for the future of the company. Our company.
- John Locke: Okay, I'm sorry, Ben, but maybe I missed the part where you explained what I'm supposed to do about the armed men inside.
- Ben Linus: I'm gonna take care of them.
- John Locke: And how the hell are you gonna do that?
- Ben Linus: How many times do I have to tell you, John? I always have a plan.
- Kate Austen: "We have to go back"? "We have to go back"?
- Jack Shephard: Now hold on—
- Kate Austen: Who do you think you are?! You call me over and over again for two days straight, stoned on your pills! And then you show up here with an obituary for Jeremy Bentham. When he came to me and I heard what he had to say, I knew he was crazy. But you...you believed him.
- Jack Shephard: Yes.
- Kate Austen: Him, of all people.
- Jack Shephard: Yes, Kate, I did, because he said that that was the only way that I could keep you safe — you and Aaron.
- [Kate slaps him]
- Kate Austen: Don't you say his name. I still have to explain to him why you are not there to read to him, so don't you say his name!
- Jack Shephard: I'm sorry.
- Kate Austen: I've spent the last three years trying to forget all the horrible things that happened on the day that we left. How dare you ask me to go back?
- Martin Keamy: So tell me something, Ben. What is it that makes you so important, hmm? I'm curious. I'm curious as to why Mr. Widmore would pay me so much money just to come out here and capture you and bring you back alive.
- Ben Linus: Charles Widmore tell you to kill my daughter?
- John Locke: You're gonna have to lie.
- Jack Shephard: Excuse me?
- John Locke: If you have to go, then you have to lie about everything...everything that happened since we got to the island it's the only way to protect it.
- Jack Shephard: It's an island, John. No one needs to protect it.
- John Locke: It's not an island. It's a place where miracles happen. And--and--if you--if you don't believe that, Jack, if you can't believe that, just wait till you see what I'm about to do.
- John Locke: [to Jack] Lie to them, Jack. If you do it half as well as you lie to yourself, they'll believe you.
- Martin Keamy: I know you're down here, Ben. Crouching in the dark, just waiting to take a shot at me.
- Pierre Chang: [as Dr. Edgar Halliwax, on video] This... is "the vault"...
- Martin Keamy: Well, you better aim for the head, Ben! Not like your boyfriend who shot me in the back like a coward!
- Pierre Chang: ...to avoid leaving inorganic materials inside...
- Martin Keamy: This body armor's, um, been known to take a bullet or two in its time. But before you take your shot, Ben, let me tell you about this. [revealing a device strapped to his arm] See that? I took out a bit of a--a life insurance policy, Ben. It's a heart rate monitor, and it's connected to a radio transmitter. W--we call it a "dead man's trigger", Ben. If my heart stops beating...it sends a little signal to the 500 pounds of C-4 that I've got hardwired out there on the freighter that'd kill a lot of innocent people, Ben. If you think I'm bluffing, need I remind you of, uh... how your daughter looked as she bled out? Face-down in the grass?
- [Keamy hears a noise and whirls around to face Locke]
- Martin Keamy: Who the hell are you?
- John Locke: My name is John Locke, and I have no... conflict with you. And neither do the people on that boat. So... why don't you put your knife down? We can talk about this.
- Martin Keamy: Well, John Locke... I've never really been one for talk.
- [Ben attacks Keamy from behind, knocking him to the ground with a baton and stabbing him multiple times in the neck]
- Ben Linus: You killed my daughter. You killed my daughter!
- John Locke: Ben! Ben! Ben, stop! No, no! Stop!
- [Locke pulls Ben off Keamy]
- John Locke: Ben, what did you do?
- [Keamy's device starts beeping]
- John Locke: You just killed everybody on that boat.
- Ben Linus: [beat] So?
- Martin Keamy: [dying] Wherever you go... Widmore... he'll find you.
- Ben Linus: Not if I find him first.
- Ben Linus: [to Locke] Good-bye, John. I'm sorry I made your life so miserable.
- Ben Linus: [turning the donkey wheel] I hope you're happy now, Jacob.
- Jack Shephard: We're gonna have to lie.
- Sayid Jarrah: Lie about what?
- Jack Shephard: Everything, all of it, every moment since we crashed on the island.
- Frank Lapidus: Jack... now I know I'm new to this group and everything, but isn't this the place where everybody starts jumping up and down and hugging each other?
- Jack Shephard: Your freighter... those men came to the island to kill us, all of us. You said that our plane was discovered on the bottom of the ocean. Well, someone put it there--someone who wants everyone to think that we're dead. So what do you think's gonna happen to us when we tell them that that wasn't our plane? What do you think's gonna happen to the people that we left behind?
- Kate Austen: Jack, we can't. We can't pull it off.
- Jack Shephard: Just let me do the talking.
- Ben Linus: [to Jack] Yes, I heard that you've been flying on passenger planes... hoping that you'd crash. It's dark, Jack, very dark.
