    Dr. Giggles

    Sawyer calls Jack, Dr. Giggles. Actually not a nice reference like you would think.

    Quote:
    KATE: You want help or not? Because I've got better things to do with my time.

    SAWYER [seeing Jack approach]: Oh happy day, here comes Dr. Giggles.

    JACK: Hey.


    Dr. Giggles (1992)
    Dr. Giggles is appropriately titled, since the title character (played by Larry Drake, best known as Benny from TV's L.A. Law) is a psychotic killer who chuckles uncontrollably as he rips into his victims. Having escaped from a mental hospital, he returns to the town where he was raised to seek bloody revenge on those responsible for the death of his mad doctor father. His payback method is a lot of unnecessary surgery. But then he takes pity on a teenaged girl who desperately needs a heart transplant. So he sets off to find the perfect involuntary donor!

    Tagline: The Doctor is out... of his mind.

    Norma Rae

    Norma Rae - Sawyer's nickname for Bernard, when he's trying to recruit people to help him build his huge S.O.S. out of rocks.

    Quote:
    [Back on the island we see Rose working around her shelter area. We can hear Bernard talking to Sawyer in the background. Scene switches to Bernard and Sawyer.]
    BERNARD: If you have time to fix your hut you have time to move some rocks. Come on, we could really use your help.
    SAWYER: What, you got union trouble down at the sand factory, Norma Rae?
    BERNARD: Come on, Sawyer, I need your help. What do you say?
    SAWYER: I say Pasadena.

    Norma Rae is a southern textile worker employed in a factory with intolerable working conditions. This concern about the situation gives her the gumption to be the key associate to a visiting labor union organizer. Together, they undertake the difficult, and possibly dangerous, struggle to unionize her factory.
