JOHN: Sure I did, Randy.
RANDY: So? How was the conference, John?
JOHN: It was okay. I didn't really learn anything.
RANDY: No?
JOHN: But um... I made some good contacts, though.
RANDY: Really? That's interesting. See uh... Ken Fisher called and कहा आप had to रद्द करें your lunch with him.
JOHN: Right, right... I was a little under the weather that day. Probably jet lag.
RANDY: Really? 'Cause then the seminar people called and कहा आप hadn't picked up your credentials. I did some checking... and it seems आप didn't attend a single event. Since we sent आप to Sydney on the company's dime... where the hell were you?
JOHN: Look, Randy... I'm really sorry. Why don't we just call it my vacation week?

RICHARD: What do आप mean? What do आप mean a candidate?
LOCKE: Didn't Jacob tell आप any of this?
RICHARD: Any of what?
LOCKE: Oh, Richard... I'm sorry. आप mean, you've been doing everything he told आप all this time and he never कहा why?
[Richard does not reply]
LOCKE: I would never have done that to you. I would never have kept आप in the dark.
RICHARD: And what would आप have done?
LOCKE: I would have treated आप with respect. Come with me... and I promise I will tell आप everything.
RICHARD: No.
LOCKE: Are आप sure about that, Richard? Because people seldom get a सेकंड chance...

[Locke puts his whiskey down]
LOCKE: This isn't your house, James.
SAWYER: The hell it ain't...
LOCKE: No. आप just lived here for awhile. This was never your house.
SAWYER: Who are you? 'Cause आप sure as hell ain't John Locke.
LOCKE: What makes आप say that?
SAWYER: 'Cause Locke was scared. Even when he was pretendin' he wasn't. But you? आप ain't scared.
LOCKE: What if I told आप I was the person who could answer the most important सवाल in the world?
[Sawyer laughs]
SAWYER: And what सवाल is that?
LOCKE: Why are आप on this island?
SAWYER: I'm on this island because my plane crashed. Because my बेड़ा blew up. Because the helicopter I was on was ridin' one too heavy.
LOCKE: That's not why you're here. And if आप come with me, I can prove it.
[John wheels towards his वैन, वान in the parking lot with a box of his belongings in his lap ... he finds a yellow Hummer parked अगला to him, preventing him from boarding his वैन, वान via the platform]

JOHN: Come on!
[The throws his remote to the ground and bangs on the Hummer until the alarm sounds ... Hurley comes running and shuts it off]
HURLEY: Dude! Dude! What are आप doin'?
JOHN: What am I doin'? What the hell are आप doin'? Did आप ever park a car in your life? You're practically in my spot!
HURLEY: I'm sorry...
JOHN: Yeah...
HURLEY: But... आप know, there's a handicapped spot right over here.
[Hurley indicates a vacant handicapped spot right अगला to John's van]
JOHN: Yeah? Yeah, okay... but I don't have to park there! I can park anywhere I want! आप need to stay inside the lines!
HURLEY: I'm really sorry. They were supposed to reserve a spot for me, so... आप know, I just... parked here.
[John sighs]
JOHN: I haven't seen आप before. Do आप work here?
HURLEY: Actually, I own the company.
[They chuckle]
HURLEY: Hugo Reyes.
JOHN: John Locke.
[They shake hands]
HURLEY: Cool. What do आप do here, John?
JOHN: Actually... nothing. My boss just fired me.
HURLEY: Oh? Who's your boss?
JOHN: His name is Randy. But uh--
HURLEY: Randy Nations?
JOHN: Yeah.
HURLEY: Yeah... that guy is a huge douche. Want me to talk to him for you?
JOHN: No. That's okay...
HURLEY: Tell आप what, John. I own a temp agency too...
[Hurley takes a pen and paper from John's box and begins writing]
HURLEY: Call this number and tell them that Hugo कहा to hook आप up with a new job, pronto.

FRANK: He's gettin' pretty ripe!
[Ilana exits the foot of the statue]
ILANA: Where is everybody?
SUN: They left. They कहा they were going to the temple.
ILANA: Right now, that's the safest place on the island. We should go there too.
SUN: Are आप alright?
ILANA: I'm fine. Come on, let's get out of here!
SUN: What makes आप think that I'm going with you?
ILANA: Because... आप want to find Jin.
SUN: What do आप know about my husband?
ILANA: I know that if he's on the island... and if he's alive... then he'll be at the temple. Let's get moving!
[Ilana begins to walk away]
SUN: What about John? We need to bury him.
[In the jungle, Sawyer follows Locke]
LOCKE: What were आप doing alone in that house, James?
SAWYER: Drinkin'.
LOCKE: Where are the rest of your friends?
SAWYER: Some temple somewhere...
LOCKE: Why aren't आप with 'em?
SAWYER: आप know what? How 'bout we just don't talk?
LOCKE: आप got it.

SAWYER: Who the hell's that?
LOCKE: आप can see him?
SAWYER: The kid? Hell yeah I can see him.
[The boy begins to run]
LOCKE: Hey!

RICHARD: Where is he?
SAWYER: Locke? He ran off into the jungle after some kid.
RICHARD: We need to go! Now!
SAWYER: Go where?
RICHARD: To the temple! Let's go! Let's go!
SAWYER: आप know what? I've been to the temple and I think I'm stickin' with Locke.
RICHARD: That man is not John Locke!
SAWYER: I know.
RICHARD: Then why are आप with him?
SAWYER: Because he's got answers. He says he knows why I'm on this island. Unless आप wanna tell me why I'm here, Richard...
RICHARD: Don't be naive! He's not gonna tell आप anthing, he's gonna kill you!
SAWYER: If he wanted to kill me he could have done it a dozen times already...
RICHARD: आप don't understand what you're dealing with! He doesn't just want आप dead, he wants everyone dead! Everyone आप care about! All of 'em! And he won't stop--
[Richard hears footsteps in the jungle and runs away ... Locke enters the clearing]
LOCKE: Who were आप talking to?
SAWYER: Nobody. आप ever catch up to the kid?
LOCKE: What kid?
SAWYER: Right... let's get on with it, shall we?
LOCKE: Yes, James. Let's get on with it.
[John Locke sits in front a डेस्क across from a woman]
WOMAN: What kind of animal would आप describe yourself as?
JOHN: Excuse me?
WOMAN: What kind of animal would आप describe yourself as?
JOHN: What uh... I don't know what that has to do with--
WOMAN: Just say whatever comes to mind.
[John does not reply]
WOMAN: Would आप describe yourself as a people person?
[John sighs]
JOHN: May I speak to your supervisor?
WOMAN: Of course. I'll go get her.
[The woman walks away ... Rose approaches John]
ROSE: Good morning, mister... Locke?
JOHN: Yeah.
ROSE: I'm Rose Nadler, the office supervisor. What can I do for you?
JOHN: Uh... what आप can do, Mrs. Nadler, is spare me the सवालों about what kind of animal I am and hopefully place me in a job.
[Rose laughs]
ROSE: Absolutely. What kind of placement are आप looking for?
JOHN: Well, I see here that आप have a listing for a site co-ordinator...
ROSE: Construction site co-ordinator. Uh... I'm not sure that's a good match.
JOHN: Well, if experience is the issue, I have--
ROSE: Experience isn't the issue.
JOHN: Look... Mr. Reyes told me if I came down here I would be taken care of.
ROSE: And Mr. Reyes is my boss, so if he कहा that, I can make it happen for you. If आप want to work construction, आप got it.
JOHN: Thank you.
ROSE: I'm not finished. I will send आप down there tomorrow and then, the दिन after, आप will be back in my office. Look, Mr. Locke... let's try to be a little और realistic.
JOHN: And what do आप know about realistic?
ROSE: I have cancer. Terminal cancer.
JOHN: I'm sorry...
ROSE: When the doctors first told me, I had a hard time accepting it. But eventually... I got past the denial part. And I got back to living whatever life I've got left. So, how about we find आप a job आप can do?
[Sawyer and Locke walk through the jungle]
SAWYER: Do आप read?
LOCKE: Excuse me?
SAWYER: Books. Do आप read books?
LOCKE: Sure. Who doesn't?
SAWYER: My favorite's Steinbeck. Of Mice and Men. आप know that one?
LOCKE: Nope. A little after my time...
SAWYER: It's about these two guys, George and Lennie. Lennie's kinda slow... causin' George problems... so George walks him into the woods and tells him to look out yonder and picture the pretty little house they're gonna live in some day. Then he shoots Lennie in the back of the head.
LOCKE: Well that doesn't sound like a happy ending.
SAWYER: It ain't.
[Sawyer points a gun at Locke]
LOCKE: What's on your mind, James?
SAWYER: I'm wonderin' what would happen to आप if I put a bullet in your head.
LOCKE: Why don't we find out?
SAWYER: What are you?
LOCKE: What I am is trapped. And I've been trapped for so long that I don't even remember what it feels like to be free. Maybe आप can understand that. But before I was trapped, I was a man, James. Just like you.
SAWYER: I'm havin' a hard time believin' that...
LOCKE: आप can believe whatever आप want, that's the truth. I know what it's like to feel joy... to feel pain, anger, fear... to experience betrayal. I know what it's like to lose someone आप love. So if आप wanna shoot me, shoot me. But you're so close, James. It would be such a shame to turn back now.
[Locke walks deeper into the jungle... Sawyer sighs and follows]
संपादन करे Act 5
BEN: Why did आप have to bring him to the statue in the first place?
ILANA: Because the people there need to see the face of what they're up against.
BEN: And whats to stop what they're up against from changing his face?
ILANA: He can't; not anymore. Hes stuck this way.
ILANA: Does anyone want to say anything? Didn't any of आप know him?
BEN: Alright, I know him. John Locke was a.. A believer, he was a man of faith, he was.. a much better man than I will ever be. And I'm very sorry I murdered him.
FRANK: Weirdest damn funeral I've ever been to.
WOMEN: Hello, Dr. Shephard's office? Hello? Can I help you?
LOCKE: No, no आप can't.
HELEN: Who was that on the phone?
LOCKE: No one.
HELEN: No one? John, I just heard आप talking on the phone.
LOCKE: I was uh, I was calling Dr. Shephard.
HELEN: Good for you. When are आप going to see him?
LOCKE: I'm not going to see him.
HELEN: Well, uh, I don't understand, why wouldn't you-
LOCKE: I got fired, Helen.
HELEN: Coming!
MAN: Ma'am, Oceanic Air. I'm here to bring your लॉस्ट luggage. Sign here to accept your delivery.
HELEN: Thanks. Okay, John. Talk to me. How did आप get fired?
LOCKE: I lied to Randy, I didn't go to the conferences in Sydney.
HELEN: What?
LOCKE: Open the case, Helen.
HELEN: What are these for?
LOCKE: My walkabout.
HELEN: Your, your what?
LOCKE: My walkabout. An adventure in the outback. Man against nature. But they wouldn't let me go. And I sat there yelling at them. Shouting at them that they couldn't tell me what I can't do. But they were right. I'm sick of imagining of what my life could be out of this chair, Helen. What it would be like to walk down the isle with आप because its not gonna happen. So if आप need me to see और doctors, have और consults, if आप need me to get out of this chair, I don't blame you. But I don't want आप to spend your life waiting for a miracle because there is no such thing.
HELEN: There are miracles, John. And the only thing I was ever waiting for was you.
SAWYER: Nice view. Now what?
LOCKE: Now we go down.
SAWYER: Down where?
LOCKE: Down there.
SAWYER: No offense, but आप already died. So this is great that this isn't a big deal for you. But if आप think I'm climbing down there first, your off your damn mind.
LOCKE: Its no problem, I'll go first.
LOCKE: Coming, James?!
LOCKE: James!
SAWYER: Locke!
LOCKE: Hold on, come on. Come on, I got you, come on. Come on. Come on.
SAWYER: What is this place? The hell's that all about?
LOCKE: Inside joke.
SAWYER: So this is what आप wanted me to see? A hole in the cliff; with some rocks on a scale; that's why I'm here?
LOCKE: No. That's why your here. That, James, is why your all here.

LOCKE: Alright, speed it up, all the way. No cheating, come on now. Come on, all the way, आप can catch up. Bring it in, bring it in, all the way. Good job. Good job.
LOCKE: Alright, everyone, please open your textbooks to chapter four. Today, we are going to talk about the Human reproductive system.
LOCKE: Can आप tell me where the teacher's lounge is?
KID: Yeah, its over there.
LOCKE: Thank you.
BEN: Alright, I know I sound like a broken record, but how many times do we have to go over this? If आप have the last cup of coffee, आप remove the filter and throw it away. Fear not. I will make a fresh pot.
LOCKE: Actually, I was just hoping for some Earl Grey.
BEN: Tea? Now there's a gentleman drink. I don't believe we met. Ben Linus, European History.
LOCKE: John Locke, Substitute.
BEN: Well, Welcome.
SAWYER: Who wrote all this?
LOCKE: His name was Jacob.
SAWYER: Was Jacob?
LOCKE: He died yesterday.
SAWYER: आप don't seem to upset about it?
LOCKE: I'm not.
SAWYER: Why are all the names crossed out?
LOCKE: There not all crossed out.
SAWYER: "Shephard". That Jack Shephard?
LOCKE: He's not the only one.
SAWYER: Reyes. That's Hugo, right? What's the eight about?
LOCKE: Jacob had a thing for numbers. Sixteen, Jarrah. Forty-Two, Kwon; I don't know if its Sun या if its Jin. And here, four, Locke. I think we both know him. Last but not least, number 15, Ford. That would be you.
SAWYER: Why would he write my name on this wall? I never even met the guy.
LOCKE: Oh no, I'm sure आप did meet Jacob. At some point in your life, James, probably when आप were young and miserable and vulnerable. He came to you, he manipulated you, pulled your strings like आप were a puppet. And as a result, choices आप thought were made, were never really choices at all. He was pushing you, James. Pushing you.. to the island.
SAWYER: Why the hell would he do that?
LOCKE: Because, your a candidate.
SAWYER: Candidate for what?
LOCKE: He thought he was the protector of this place. And you, James, have been nominated to take that job.
SAWYER: And what does that mean?
LOCKE: It means आप have three choices. First, आप can do nothing and see how all this plays out. And possibly, your name will get crossed out. सेकंड option. आप can accept the job. Become the new Jacob. And protect the island.
SAWYER: Protect it from what?
LOCKE: From nothing, James. That's the joke, there is nothing to protect it from, its just a damn island. And it will be perfectly fine without Jacob या you, या any of the other people; whose lives he wasted.
SAWYER: आप कहा there were three choices?
LOCKE: The third choice, James, is that we just go. We just get the hell off this island. We never look back.
SAWYER: How do we do that?
LOCKE: Together. So what do आप say, James? Are आप ready to go home?
SAWYER: Hell yes.

SAWYER: I don't give a damn if you're dead. या time travellin' or... the ghost of क्रिस्मस past. All I care about is this whiskey. So bottoms up! Get the hell out of my house.
[Locke puts his whiskey down]
LOCKE: This isn't your house, James.
SAWYER: The hell it ain't...
LOCKE: No. आप just lived here for awhile. This was never your house.
SAWYER: Who are you? 'Cause आप sure as hell ain't John Locke.
LOCKE: What makes आप say that?
SAWYER: 'Cause Locke was scared. Even when he was pretendin' he wasn't. But you? आप ain't scared.
LOCKE: What if I told आप I was the person who could answer the most important सवाल in the world?
[Sawyer laughs]
SAWYER: And what सवाल is that?
LOCKE: Why are आप on this island?
SAWYER: I'm on this island because my plane crashed. Because my बेड़ा blew up. Because the helicopter I was on was ridin' one too heavy.
LOCKE: That's not why you're here. And if आप come with me, I can prove it.
[John wheels towards his वैन, वान in the parking lot with a box of his belongings in his lap ... he finds a yellow Hummer parked अगला to him, preventing him from boarding his वैन, वान via the platform]
JOHN: Okay! Okay!
[He uses a remote to activate the platform, hoping to strike the Hummer with it, but it fails again]
JOHN: Come on!
[The throws his remote to the ground and bangs on the Hummer until the alarm sounds ... Hurley comes running and shuts it off]
HURLEY: Dude! Dude! What are आप doin'?
JOHN: What am I doin'? What the hell are आप doin'? Did आप ever park a car in your life? You're practically in my spot!
HURLEY: I'm sorry...
JOHN: Yeah...
HURLEY: But... आप know, there's a handicapped spot right over here.
[Hurley indicates a vacant handicapped spot right अगला to John's van]
JOHN: Yeah? Yeah, okay... but I don't have to park there! I can park anywhere I want! आप need to stay inside the lines!
HURLEY: I'm really sorry. They were supposed to reserve a spot for me, so... आप know, I just... parked here.
[John sighs]
JOHN: I haven't seen आप before. Do आप work here?
HURLEY: Actually, I own the company.
[They chuckle]
HURLEY: Hugo Reyes.
JOHN: John Locke.
[They shake hands]
HURLEY: Cool. What do आप do here, John?
JOHN: Actually... nothing. My boss just fired me.
HURLEY: Oh? Who's your boss?
JOHN: His name is Randy. But uh--
HURLEY: Randy Nations?
JOHN: Yeah.
HURLEY: Yeah... that guy is a huge douche. Want me to talk to him for you?
JOHN: No. That's okay...
HURLEY: Tell आप what, John. I own a temp agency too...
[Hurley takes a pen and paper from John's box and begins writing]
HURLEY: Call this number and tell them that Hugo कहा to hook आप up with a new job, pronto.
[He hands John the pen and paper]
HURLEY: And chin up. Things are gonna work out.
[On the beach, Frank covers Locke's body with a tarp]
FRANK: He's gettin' pretty ripe!
[Ilana exits the foot of the statue]
ILANA: Where is everybody?
SUN: They left. They कहा they were going to the temple.
ILANA: Right now, that's the safest place on the island. We should go there too.
SUN: Are आप alright?
ILANA: I'm fine. Come on, let's get out of here!
SUN: What makes आप think that I'm going with you?
ILANA: Because... आप want to find Jin.
SUN: What do आप know about my husband?
ILANA: I know that if he's on the island... and if he's alive... then he'll be at the temple. Let's get moving!
[Ilana begins to walk away]
SUN: What about John? We need to bury him.
[In the jungle, Sawyer follows Locke]
LOCKE: What were आप doing alone in that house, James?
SAWYER: Drinkin'.
LOCKE: Where are the rest of your friends?
SAWYER: Some temple somewhere...
LOCKE: Why aren't आप with 'em?
SAWYER: आप know what? How 'bout we just don't talk?
LOCKE: आप got it.
[Sawyer sees the blond boy standing in the jungle ... Locke sees him too]
SAWYER: Who the hell's that?
LOCKE: आप can see him?
SAWYER: The kid? Hell yeah I can see him.
[The boy begins to run]
LOCKE: Hey!
[Locke chases him but trips on a root and falls ... the boy stands over him]
BOY: आप know the rules. आप can't kill him.
LOCKE: Don't tell me what I can't do...
[The boy shakes his head and walks away]
LOCKE: Don't tell me what I can't do!
संपादन करे Act 4
[Sawyer stands alone in the jungle]
SAWYER: Locke! Locke! Look, whoever आप are, आप got about twenty सेकंड्स and then I'm outta here!
[Richard walks out of the jungle]
RICHARD: Where is he?
SAWYER: What the hell are आप doin' here?
RICHARD: Where is he?
SAWYER: Locke? He ran off into the jungle after some kid.
RICHARD: We need to go! Now!
SAWYER: Go where?
RICHARD: To the temple! Let's go! Let's go!
SAWYER: आप know what? I've been to the temple and I think I'm stickin' with Locke.
RICHARD: That man is not John Locke!
SAWYER: I know.
RICHARD: Then why are आप with him?
SAWYER: Because he's got answers. He says he knows why I'm on this island. Unless आप wanna tell me why I'm here, Richard...
RICHARD: Don't be naive! He's not gonna tell आप anthing, he's gonna kill you!
SAWYER: If he wanted to kill me he could have done it a dozen times already...
RICHARD: आप don't understand what you're dealing with! He doesn't just want आप dead, he wants everyone dead! Everyone आप care about! All of 'em! And he won't stop--
[Richard hears footsteps in the jungle and runs away ... Locke enters the clearing]
LOCKE: Who were आप talking to?
SAWYER: Nobody. आप ever catch up to the kid?
LOCKE: What kid?
SAWYER: Right... let's get on with it, shall we?
LOCKE: Yes, James. Let's get on with it.
[John Locke sits in front a डेस्क across from a woman]
WOMAN: What kind of animal would आप describe yourself as?
JOHN: Excuse me?
WOMAN: What kind of animal would आप describe yourself as?
JOHN: What uh... I don't know what that has to do with--
WOMAN: Just say whatever comes to mind.
[John does not reply]
WOMAN: Would आप describe yourself as a people person?
[John sighs]
JOHN: May I speak to your supervisor?
WOMAN: Of course. I'll go get her.
[The woman walks away ... Rose approaches John]
ROSE: Good morning, mister... Locke?
JOHN: Yeah.
ROSE: I'm Rose Nadler, the office supervisor. What can I do for you?
JOHN: Uh... what आप can do, Mrs. Nadler, is spare me the सवालों about what kind of animal I am and hopefully place me in a job.
[Rose laughs]
ROSE: Absolutely. What kind of placement are आप looking for?
JOHN: Well, I see here that आप have a listing for a site co-ordinator...
ROSE: Construction site co-ordinator. Uh... I'm not sure that's a good match.
JOHN: Well, if experience is the issue, I have--
ROSE: Experience isn't the issue.
JOHN: Look... Mr. Reyes told me if I came down here I would be taken care of.
ROSE: And Mr. Reyes is my boss, so if he कहा that, I can make it happen for you. If आप want to work construction, आप got it.
JOHN: Thank you.
ROSE: I'm not finished. I will send आप down there tomorrow and then, the दिन after, आप will be back in my office. Look, Mr. Locke... let's try to be a little और realistic.
JOHN: And what do आप know about realistic?
ROSE: I have cancer. Terminal cancer.
JOHN: I'm sorry...
ROSE: When the doctors first told me, I had a hard time accepting it. But eventually... I got past the denial part. And I got back to living whatever life I've got left. So, how about we find आप a job आप can do?
[Sawyer and Locke walk through the jungle]
SAWYER: Do आप read?
LOCKE: Excuse me?
SAWYER: Books. Do आप read books?
LOCKE: Sure. Who doesn't?
SAWYER: My favorite's Steinbeck. Of Mice and Men. आप know that one?
LOCKE: Nope. A little after my time...
SAWYER: It's about these two guys, George and Lennie. Lennie's kinda slow... causin' George problems... so George walks him into the woods and tells him to look out yonder and picture the pretty little house they're gonna live in some day. Then he shoots Lennie in the back of the head.
LOCKE: Well that doesn't sound like a happy ending.
SAWYER: It ain't.
[Sawyer points a gun at Locke]
LOCKE: What's on your mind, James?
SAWYER: I'm wonderin' what would happen to आप if I put a bullet in your head.
LOCKE: Why don't we find out?
SAWYER: What are you?
LOCKE: What I am is trapped. And I've been trapped for so long that I don't even remember what it feels like to be free. Maybe आप can understand that. But before I was trapped, I was a man, James. Just like you.
SAWYER: I'm havin' a hard time believin' that...
LOCKE: आप can believe whatever आप want, that's the truth. I know what it's like to feel joy... to feel pain, anger, fear... to experience betrayal. I know what it's like to lose someone आप love. So if आप wanna shoot me, shoot me. But you're so close, James. It would be such a shame to turn back now.
[Locke walks deeper into the jungle... Sawyer sighs and follows]
संपादन करे Act 5
BEN: Why did आप have to bring him to the statue in the first place?
ILANA: Because the people there need to see the face of what they're up against.
BEN: And whats to stop what they're up against from changing his face?
ILANA: He can't; not anymore. Hes stuck this way.
ILANA: Does anyone want to say anything? Didn't any of आप know him?
BEN: Alright, I know him. John Locke was a.. A believer, he was a man of faith, he was.. a much better man than I will ever be. And I'm very sorry I murdered him.
FRANK: Weirdest damn funeral I've ever been to.
WOMEN: Hello, Dr. Shephard's office? Hello? Can I help you?
LOCKE: No, no आप can't.
HELEN: Who was that on the phone?
LOCKE: No one.
HELEN: No one? John, I just heard आप talking on the phone.
LOCKE: I was uh, I was calling Dr. Shephard.
HELEN: Good for you. When are आप going to see him?
LOCKE: I'm not going to see him.
HELEN: Well, uh, I don't understand, why wouldn't you-
LOCKE: I got fired, Helen.
HELEN: Coming!
MAN: Ma'am, Oceanic Air. I'm here to bring your लॉस्ट luggage. Sign here to accept your delivery.
HELEN: Thanks. Okay, John. Talk to me. How did आप get fired?
LOCKE: I lied to Randy, I didn't go to the conferences in Sydney.
HELEN: What?
LOCKE: Open the case, Helen.
HELEN: What are these for?
LOCKE: My walkabout.
HELEN: Your, your what?
LOCKE: My walkabout. An adventure in the outback. Man against nature. But they wouldn't let me go. And I sat there yelling at them. Shouting at them that they couldn't tell me what I can't do. But they were right. I'm sick of imagining of what my life could be out of this chair, Helen. What it would be like to walk down the isle with आप because its not gonna happen. So if आप need me to see और doctors, have और consults, if आप need me to get out of this chair, I don't blame you. But I don't want आप to spend your life waiting for a miracle because there is no such thing.
HELEN: There are miracles, John. And the only thing I was ever waiting for was you.
SAWYER: Nice view. Now what?
LOCKE: Now we go down.
SAWYER: Down where?
LOCKE: Down there.
SAWYER: No offense, but आप already died. So this is great that this isn't a big deal for you. But if आप think I'm climbing down there first, your off your damn mind.
LOCKE: Its no problem, I'll go first.
LOCKE: Coming, James?!
LOCKE: James!
SAWYER: Locke!
LOCKE: Hold on, come on. Come on, I got you, come on. Come on. Come on.
SAWYER: What is this place? The hell's that all about?
LOCKE: Inside joke.
SAWYER: So this is what आप wanted me to see? A hole in the cliff; with some rocks on a scale; that's why I'm here?
LOCKE: No. That's why your here. That, James, is why your all here.
संपादन करे Act 6
LOCKE: Alright, speed it up, all the way. No cheating, come on now. Come on, all the way, आप can catch up. Bring it in, bring it in, all the way. Good job. Good job.
LOCKE: Alright, everyone, please open your textbooks to chapter four. Today, we are going to talk about the Human reproductive system.
LOCKE: Can आप tell me where the teacher's lounge is?
KID: Yeah, its over there.
LOCKE: Thank you.
BEN: Alright, I know I sound like a broken record, but how many times do we have to go over this? If आप have the last cup of coffee, आप remove the filter and throw it away. Fear not. I will make a fresh pot.
LOCKE: Actually, I was just hoping for some Earl Grey.
BEN: Tea? Now there's a gentleman drink. I don't believe we met. Ben Linus, European History.
LOCKE: John Locke, Substitute.
BEN: Well, Welcome.
SAWYER: Who wrote all this?
LOCKE: His name was Jacob.
SAWYER: Was Jacob?
LOCKE: He died yesterday.
SAWYER: आप don't seem to upset about it?
LOCKE: I'm not.
SAWYER: Why are all the names crossed out?
LOCKE: There not all crossed out.
SAWYER: "Shephard". That Jack Shephard?
LOCKE: He's not the only one.
SAWYER: Reyes. That's Hugo, right? What's the eight about?
LOCKE: Jacob had a thing for numbers. Sixteen, Jarrah. Forty-Two, Kwon; I don't know if its Sun या if its Jin. And here, four, Locke. I think we both know him. Last but not least, number 15, Ford. That would be you.
SAWYER: Why would he write my name on this wall? I never even met the guy.
LOCKE: Oh no, I'm sure आप did meet Jacob. At some point in your life, James, probably when आप were young and miserable and vulnerable. He came to you, he manipulated you, pulled your strings like आप were a puppet. And as a result, choices आप thought were made, were never really choices at all. He was pushing you, James. Pushing you.. to the island.
SAWYER: Why the hell would he do that?
LOCKE: Because, your a candidate.
SAWYER: Candidate for what?
LOCKE: He thought he was the protector of this place. And you, James, have been nominated to take that job.
SAWYER: And what does that mean?
LOCKE: It means आप have three choices. First, आप can do nothing and see how all this plays out. And possibly, your name will get crossed out. सेकंड option. आप can accept the job. Become the new Jacob. And protect the island.
SAWYER: Protect it from what?
LOCKE: From nothing, James. That's the joke, there is nothing to protect it from, its just a damn island. And it will be perfectly fine without Jacob या you, या any of the other people; whose lives he wasted.
SAWYER: आप कहा there were three choices?
LOCKE: The third choice, James, is that we just go. We just get the hell off this island. We never look back.
SAWYER: How do we do that?
LOCKE: Together. So what do आप say, James? Are आप ready to go home?
SAWYER: Hell yes.
