TABULA RASA

  • Locke is carving the dog whistle, and Charlie asks him what he's making. When Locke tells him, Charlie responds:
CHARLIE: I used some tribal flutes once in a recording session. I'm in a band.
 


THE MOTH
  • Jack is moving to the caves:
JACK: I just came by for a few things and this was. . . this was with my stuff. [He hands it to her].

KATE: So you're not staying?

JACK: Call me a broken record, but caves are a natural shelter. And a hell of a lot safer than living here on the beach.

  • Liam delivers the news to Charlie that Driveshaft has been signed:
LIAM: And the meek shall inherit the earth.

CHARLIE: Liam, what are doing? This is a church.

LIAM: Relax, choir boy. I bring good tidings of great joy. We've just been signed. A recording contract. You're going to be a rock god.
  

CONFIDENCE MAN
  • Charlie confronts Hurley about the food situation:
HURLEY: Fat guy hoarding the food, is that what you think?

CHARLIE: No. It's just we've been here for two weeks and you've not really. . .

HURLEY: Slimmed down much?

CHARLIE: All I need is a bag of peanuts.

HURLEY: I have no food, alright? And for the record, I'm down a notch in my belt. I'm a big guy, it's going to be a while before you're going to want to give me a piggy back ride, okay?

 
 
SOLITARY
  • Sayid is being tortured by Danielle:
SAYID: Please just listen to me. I keep telling you I don't know who Alex is. I'm a survivor of a plane crash. I found a wire on the beach, I followed it. I thought it might have something to do with the transmission we picked up on our receiver. A recording, a mayday, with a French woman repeating on a loop for 16 years.

 
ALL THE BEST COWBOYS HAVE DADDY ISSUES
  • Christian tries to convince Jack to sign the official account of the patient's death:
JACK: I won't sign this.

DR. SHEPARD: You're a part of the team, Jack. I'm not the only one on the hook for this. You called me off. You were the surgeon of record when she died. Accidents happen in surgeries all the time, Jack. That's the truth and you know it. But if you contradict this report, if you mention alcohol, well that's the only fact that's going to matter. They'll strip me of my license.


 
NUMBERS
  • The Lotto Girl announces the numbers:
LOTTO GIRL: With mega number 42. And that makes tonight's mega-lotto-jackpot 4 8 15 16 23 [Shot of Hurley standing up. Shot of the winning ticket.] With the mega number 42. Whoever has those numbers has won, or will share, in a near record jackpot.

  • Hurley asks to speak to Lenny at the institution:
HURLEY: How many Leonard's are here? Can't you just type in Leonard? I mean, the guy's been here for, like, ever. He knows me.

NURSE: Our records are private, sir. If. . .

  • Hurley meets Martha Toomey. She tells him her husband Sam's story with the numbers. Sam and Martha were involved in a car accident in which Martha lost her leg:
HURLEY: What about Sam?

MARTHA: Barely a scratch. Most people would consider themselves lucky, but not him. He was never the same after that. He started keeping a record. Anything terrible that happened to anyone around us, he believed it was all because he used those numbers. He moved us out here in the middle of nowhere hoping it would stop.



THE GREATER GOOD
  • Sayid no longer wants to cooperate with the CIA agents:
SAYID: What are you going to do? Arrest me?

AGENT COLE: No, we'll arrest her. Your girlfriend's an Iraqi living abroad with a record of insurgency. Wouldn't it be terrible if she got picked up as an enemy combatant, Sayid? So, if you want any chance of ever seeing her again you're going to go and talk your good friend Essam into blowing himself up.



EXODUS 1
  • Kate is holding the toy plane on the beach, when Charlie enters:
CHARLIE: Platinum.

KATE: Platinum?

CHARLIE: As in platinum record - as in a million units sold. Now, Driveshaft's albums must have spiked when everybody found out that I died in some catastrophic plane disaster. When I come back, alive, it's going to be insane.

 
EXODUS 2
  • Sawyer reveals to Jack that he spoke to Christian in Sydney:
SAWYER [calling after Jack as he walks away]: Jack. About a week before we all got on the plane I got to talking to this man in a bar in Sydney. He was American, too. A doctor. I've been on some benders in my time, but this guy - he was going for an all time record. It turns out this guy has a son - his son's a doctor, too. They had some kind of big time falling out. The guy knew it was his fault even though his son was back in the States thinking the same damn thing. See, kids are like dogs, you knock them around enough they'll think they did something to deserve it. Anyway, there's a pay phone in this bar. And this guy, Christian, tells me he wishes he had the stones to pick up the phone, call his kid, tell him he's sorry, that he's a better doctor than he'll ever be - he's proud, and he loves him. I had to take off, but something tells me he never got around to making that call. Small world, huh?
