LOCKE: Why are you out here, Jack?
JACK: I think I'm going crazy.
LOCKE: No. You're not going crazy. Crazy people don't know they'regoing crazy. They think they're getting saner. So, why are you outhere?
JACK: I'm chasing something -- someone.
LOCKE: Ah. The white rabbit. Alice in Wonderland.
JACK: Yeah, wonderland, because who I'm chasing -- he's not there.
LOCKE: But you see him?
JACK: Yes. But he's not there.
LOCKE: And if I came to you and said the same thing, then what would your explanation be, as a doctor.
JACK: I'd call it a hallucination. A result of dehydration, posttraumatic stress, not getting more than 2 hours of sleep a night forthe past week. All of the above.
LOCKE: All right, then. You're hallucinating. But what if you're not?
JACK: Then we're all in a lot of trouble.
LOCKE: I'm an ordinary man Jack, meat and potatoes, I live in thereal world. I'm not a big believer in magic. But this place isdifferent. It's special. The others don't want to talk about it becauseit scares them. But we all know it. We all feel it. Is your whiterabbit a hallucination? Probably. But what if everything that happenedhere, happened for a reason? What if this person that you're chasing isreally here? |

HURLEY: No, I'm not, because this isn't happening. None of it. I'm just imagining it. This isn't real life.
LIBBY: Why would you say that?
HURLEY: Because in real life, no girl like you would ever like me.Remember when I said I knew you from somewhere? Well, maybe it'sbecause I made you up?
LIBBY: What was the man's name who broke his leg? The day of thecrash on the other side of the island, Eko brought a man with a brokenleg to me for help. What was his name?
HURLEY: I don't know.
LIBBY: You don't know. You know why? Because it happened to me. Hisname was Donald, and I buried him. I buried a lot of people, Hurley. Sodon't tell me that that wasn't real. And don't tell me you made me up.It's insulting.
HURLEY: When you saw me on the beach this morning was I holding a slipper?
LIBBY: Not that I can remember, no. [she holds Hurley's face in herhands] Hurley, look at me. I am real. You're real. The way I feel aboutyou -- that's real. |
