Locke tells Boone about how Michelangelo stared at a piece of marble for 4 months. Boone then asks if they're going to stare at the Hatch for 4 months as well.
LOCKE
Ludovico Buonarrati, Michelangelo's father. He was a wealthy man.
He had no understanding of the divinity in his son so he beat him. No
child of his was going to use his hands for a living. So, Michelangelo
learned not to use his hands. Years later a visiting price came into
Michelangelo's studio and found the master staring at a single 18 foot
block of marble. Then he knew that the rumors were true - that
Michelangelo had come in everyday for the last 4 four months, stared at
the marble, and gone home for his supper. So the prince asked the
obvious: what are you doing? And Michelangelo turned around and looked
at him, and whispered, sto lavorando, I'm working. Three years later
that block of marble was the statue of David.
BOONE
We're not going to stare at this for 4 months, are we? How are we going to open it?

Shannon and Boone's parents married when she was 8.
Boone
She was married. She's not married anymore, and that has nothing
to do with this. [Malcolm looks up at that statement, Boone looks
flustered.] Rutherford is her father's name. Our parents got married
when I was 10, she was 8.

Boone flew 15 hours to "rescue" Shannon.
Boone
15 hours. . . I just spent 15 hours on a plane. . . happy to see
you, glad you're here. . . something like that might work.

When trying to determine why the compass is off, Sayid notes that a variance in 2 or 3 degrees is common, but this is more.
Sayid
A minor magnetic anomaly might explain a variance of 2 or 3 degrees, but not this.
