Quotes 

• Locke : [trying to convince Jack to push the button in the hatch]  You saw the film, Jack. This is a... this is a two-person job, at least.

  Sayid : This argument is irrelevant.

  [goes to push the button] 

  Jack : Sayid, don't.

  Sayid : Jack.

  Jack : Don't. It's not real. Look, you want to push the button, you do it yourself.

  Locke : If it's not real, then what are you doing here, Jack? Why did you come back? Why do you find it so hard to believe?

  Jack : Why do you find it so easy?

  Locke : It's never been easy!

  Kate : Maybe you should just do it.

  Jack : No...

  [less convinced] 

  Jack : It's a button.

  Locke : [pleading]  I can't do this alone, Jack... I don't want to.

  [echoing the word of his former girlfriend] 

  Locke : It's a leap of faith, Jack.

• [during a counseling course] 

  Locke : Francine feels a little too much if you ask me. You all do. I mean, seriously...? So-and-so never called me back, my mother stole thirty dollars from me" - I never even knew who my parents *were*. A couple years ago my birth mother found me and she told me - I was 'special'. And through her I met my real father - great news, right? Well, he pretended to love me just long enough to steal my kidney because he had to have a transplant! And then he dropped me back in the world like a piece of trash just like he did on the day I was born.

  [shouts] 

  Locke : You want your damn thirty dollars back? I want my kidney back!

• John Locke : Why?

  Anthony Cooper : Excuse me?

  John Locke : Why?

  Anthony Cooper : There is no "why". You think you're the first person that ever got conned? You needed a father figure and I needed a kidney.

• John Locke : [screaming]  What am I supposed to do?

• Desmond : Listen! If you do not let me up, we are going to die.

  Jack : Stop moving, or, I swear to God...

  Desmond : Look at the wall! You see that? That's a timer and it's counting down. I've got to enter the code, got to push the button.

  Jack : Or what?

  John Locke : Jack, let him up.

  Jack : Don't tell me what to do. Or what? What's going to happen?

  Desmond : Do I know you?
