Recurring Phrases: Change Season 1

WALKABOUT

Locke on the phone with "Helen."

LOCKE: I have never felt so alive. Getting to finally tell Randy off was. . . life changing. I mean it, now I'm free to do all those things I ever wanted to do. Things that I know I was destined to do, like we talked about Helen.

HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN

Locke and Charlie are discussing Driveshaft:

LOCKE: Hey, just because I'm over 40 doesn't mean I'm deaf. I have both your albums. Although, I thought that your self-titled debut was much stronger effort than Oil Change. It's a shame what happened to the band. How long since you played?

THE MOTH

Charlie and Liam are arguing about the band, when Liam brings up Charlie's drug abuse:

LIAM: You were with me the night I missed Megan's birth. You were the one I was stumbling around Dresden with trying to find a sodding fix. Oh man, you're still using aren't you?

CHARLIE: Don't change the subject.

SOLITARY

Jack is tending to Sawyer's arm wound:

SAWYER: Ow, easy, Jackass.

JACK: You want it easy, quit moaning. I've got to change these bandages.

SAWYER: Well, try not taking my skin off with them. How'd I score the house call, Dr. Quinn. Trying to ease your conscience?

JACK: My conscience is fine, thanks.

SAWYER: Of course, what do you have to feel guilty about? I mean, you just let that damn Arab torture me. Stood by and watched. You figure you patch me up, buy you a ticket into heaven? Only reason you're here.

JACK: I'm here because no one else wants anything to do with you.

SAWYER: She does.

JACK: Change your own bandages.

RAISED BY ANOTHER

Thomas has told Claire he is not ready to be a father:

THOMAS: Oh, the baby, yeah, I mean, that is just not. . . it's like this now, you know. What's it going to be like when the baby comes?

CLAIRE: But you said we should do this.

THOMAS: Yeah, well, now it's real.

CLAIRE: Well, you can't just change your mind.

WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE

HOMECOMING

Locke and Jack are discussing whether or not they should go after Ethan:

LOCKE: Jack, I'm not a cold man. I feel for the loss of one of our own, but nothing fundamental's changed. Wherever he is, wherever he comes from, we're on Ethan's turf. He has the advantage. To him we're nothing more than a bunch of scared idiots with sharp sticks.

...IN TRANSLATION

Sun and Kate are discussing Jin:

SUN: He wasn't always like this. He used to tell me how beautiful I looked to him. He was so tender. And then he was different.

KATE: What changed him?

Sun is upset with Jin, and believes he may have set the raft on fire:

SUN: [Subtitled] What are you doing? Please answer me. So you're going where to the beach? Is that how you've chosen to deal with me? Why didn't you just tell me you didn't burn the raft? Why won't you speak to me Jin? What have I done to deserve this? When did we stop talking? [English] I was going to leave you. I was going to get away. But you made me change my mind. You made me think that you still loved me. [Subtitled] I want to go back to the beginning. Can't we... just start all over?

NUMBERS

Charlie is trying to make Hurley tell him about his past:

CHARLIE: Well, all this time on the island, you've told me nothing about yourself.

HURLEY: We've all got personal stuff, dude.

CHARLIE: Don't change the subject. We're lost out here. Jack and Sayid could be hurt, if not blown to bits, all because you're acting like some bloody nutter.

Danielle tells Hurley about her experience with the numbers:

DANIELLE [lowering her rifle]: Our ship picked up a transmission, a voice repeating those numbers. We changed course to investigate. After we shipwrecked my team continued to search for the transmission source. It was weeks before we found the radio tower.

HURLEY: There's a radio tower on this island?

DANIELLE: Yes, up by the black rock. Some of us continued to search for the meaning of those numbers while we waited for rescue. But then the sickness came. When my team was gone, I went back up to the tower and changed the transmission.

DEUS EX MACHINA

Locke reveals to Boone that he was paralyzed:

LOCKE: Paralyzed for 4 years. The plane - our plane - I was in that chair when we took off. But not after we crashed.

BOONE: Why were you in a wheelchair?

LOCKE: It doesn't matter anymore. But, but, this island, it changed me. It made me whole. Now it's trying to take it back and I don't know why. But it wants me to follow what I saw.

Cooper to Locke moments before the surgery:

COOPER: You can still change your mind.

SAYID: I'll claim him.

AGENT HEWITT: You can't claim him when you're on a plane in 2 hours, mate.

SAYID: Then change my flight to tomorrow. [The agents nod in agreement.]

EXODUS 3
