Quotes 

• [on the raft; Walt is asleep] 

  Sawyer : Know what I like about you, Mike? You got the patience of a saint.

  Michael : Yeah? Why you say that?

  Sawyer : I've seen the way he talks to you. The way he runs around, does whatever the hell he wants. I'd have shown him the back of my hand a long time ago.

  Michael : You would, huh?

  Sawyer : Hell of a lot cheaper than a shrink.

  Michael : Is that what your father did to you? Show you the back of his hand?

  Sawyer : My daddy never got a chance to beat me. He shot himself when I was eight.

  Michael : [after a pause]  That why you want to die, man?

  Sawyer : What?

  Michael : Since the day you told me you wanted on this raft, I couldn't figure it out. Why does a guy who only cares about himself want to risk his life to save everyone else? Yeah... way I see it, there's only two choices. You're either a hero, or you want to die.

  Sawyer : [gruffly]  Well... I ain't no hero, Mike.

• [to Michael] 

  Sawyer : Are you gonna give me the damn gun or am I gonna have to take it?
