- Miles Straume: Any of us can die because this is our present.
- Hugo 'Hurley' Reyes: But you said Ben couldn't die because he still has to grow up and become the leader of the Others.
- Miles Straume: Because this is his past.
- Hugo 'Hurley' Reyes: When we first captured Ben and Sayid, like, tortured him, then why wouldn't he remember getting shot by that same guy when he was a kid?
- Miles Straume: Huh... I hadn't thought of that.
- Hugo 'Hurley' Reyes: Huh!
- Juliet Burke: It's up to Sawyer and Kate now.
- Jack Shephard: What?
- Juliet Burke: She's trying to save him, and I sent James after her to help because they actually care.
- Jack Shephard: I came back here because I care, Juliet. I came back here because I was trying to save you.
- Juliet Burke: We didn't need saving! We've been fine for three years.You came back here for you... At least do me the courtesy of telling me why.
- Jack Shephard: I came back because I was supposed to.
- Richard Alpert: Why are you here?
- Kate Austen: Because we need you to save his life. Can you?
- Richard Alpert: If I take him, he's not ever gonna be the same again.
- Kate Austen: What do you mean by that?
- Richard Alpert: What I mean is that he'll forget this ever happened and his innocence will be gone. He will always be one of us. You still want me to take him?
- Kate Austen: Yes.
- Jack Shephard: No, I'm not coming with you.
- James 'Sawyer' Ford: If you don't come with me, Jack, that kid's gonna die.
- Jack Shephard: Then he dies.
- Juliet Burke: I needed you.
- Jack Shephard: I'm sorry?
- Juliet Burke: That kid was bleeding out. You're a surgeon, and I needed you.
- Jack Shephard: That kid is Ben.
- Juliet Burke: It's not Ben yet. He's just a kid.
- Juliet Burke: He's still bleeding in there somewhere, and I can't fix it.
- James 'Sawyer' Ford: It's all right.
- Juliet Burke: No, it's not all right. Someone needs to get in there who can find the damage that bullet did and fix it. He needs a real surgeon.
- Erik: We shouldn't do this without asking Ellie. If Charles finds out...
- Richard Alpert: Let him find out. I don't answer to either of them.
- Carole Littleton: Your friend, Doctor Shephard, came here last night, going on and on about some person named Aaron.When I asked him who that was, he ran out of here like the room was on fire.
- Kate Austen: He's your grandson. And your daughter, Claire... is alive.
- Hugo 'Hurley' Reyes: So this conversation we're having right now... we already had it.
- Miles Straume: [Claps his hands] Yes!
- Hugo 'Hurley' Reyes: Then what am I gonna say next?
- Miles Straume: I don't know.
- Hugo 'Hurley' Reyes: Ha! Then your theory is wrong!
- Miles Straume: For the thousandth time, you dingbat, the conversation already happened, but not for you and me. For you and me, it's happening right now.
- Kate Austen: What happened?
- James 'Sawyer' Ford: What the hell are you doing here?
- Kate Austen: That was Ben. That kid who was shot was Ben. Was it Sayid? Did he shoot him?
- James 'Sawyer' Ford: Here's what you need to do, Kate. Keep your mouth shut and stop asking questions. 'cause putting any attention on yourself is the last thing I need right now. Now scram, I don't want you around here.
- Kate Austen: I just want to know what's going on.
- Horace Goodspeed: LaFleur... What... What uh... What's she doing here?
- James 'Sawyer' Ford: This is uh...
- Kate Austen: I'm Kate.
- James 'Sawyer' Ford: Kate. She's new over at the motor pool. I was seeing if she saw anything suspicious, but she didn't. So you can run along, thanks.
- Horace Goodspeed: Have you checked out the hostile's cell yet?
- James 'Sawyer' Ford: No, I've been trying to keep the town from burnin' down, Horace.
- Horace Goodspeed: Okay, well then, let's do it.
