PUSH THE DAMN BUTTON! A Lost Retrospective Picspam. Season Two.
BEEN WAITING MONTHS TO FIND OUT WHAT'S IN THE HATCH. OH, THERE'S A HOT SCOTTISH MAN IN THERE? OFFICIALLY WORTH THE WAIT.
Desmond: Now type in exactly what I say... 4 8 15 16 23 42. Now press execute.
Locke: What's going to happen?
Desmond: Just push it!
WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO WATCH THAT AGAIN.
Jack: It says quarantine on the inside of the hatch to keep you down here. To keep you scared. But you know what? We've been up there for over 40 days and no one's gotten sick. You think that this is the only part of it that's true? Do you ever think that maybe they put you down here to push a button every 100 minutes just to see if you would? That all of this, the computer, the button, it's just a mind game? An experiment?
Desmond: Every... single... day. And for all our sakes, I hope it's not real. But the film says this is an electromagnetic station. And I don't know about you, brother, but every time I walk past that concrete wall out there, my fillings hurt.
AND YOU THOUGHT THE ORIGINAL LOSTIES HAD IT BAD.
Ana-Lucia: What? You talking now?
Mr. Eko: It's been forty days.
Ana-Lucia: You've been waiting forty days to talk?
Mr. Eko: You waited forty days to cry.
EARLY INDICATORS PREDICT THAT THIS SHOW WILL BE INCREDIBLY KILL HAPPY.
Shannon: You don't! No-one does. They think that I'm some kind of joke. They think I'm worthless.
Sayid: Shannon you are not worthless.
Shannon: You say that now, but you don't... You're just gonna leave me. I know as soon as we get out of here you're just going to leave me.
THE BEARD MAKES ME LOOK FRIENDLY RIGHT?
Mr. Friendly: Let me ask you something. How long have you been here on the island?
Jack: 50 days.
Mr. Friendly: Fuuh! 50 days. That's about two whole months. Tell me, when you go over to man's house for the first time, do you take off your shoes? Do you put your feet up on his coffee table? Do you walk to the kitchen and eat food that doesn't belong to you? Open doors to rooms you got no business opening?
[Jack, Sawyer and Locke stare silently]
Mr. Friendly: You know, somebody a whole lot smarter than anybody here once said, since the dawn of our species, man has been blessed with curiosity. [to Jack] You know the other one 'bout curiosity, don't you Jack?
[Jack stares silently]
Mr. Friendly: This is not your island. This is our island and the only reason that you're livin' on it, is because we let you live on it
HAVEN'T YOU ALREADY FIGURED OUT THAT WE'RE NOT IN KANSAS ANYMORE?
"Henry Gale": Course if I was one of them - these people that you seem to think are your enemies - what would I do? Well, there'd be no balloon. So I'd draw a map to a real secluded place, like a cave or some underbrush, good place for a trap. An ambush. And when your friends got there, a bunch of my people would be waiting for 'em. Then they'd use them to trade for me. [jokingly] I guess it's a good thing I'm not one of them huh?
IN A SHOCKING TWIST, CLAIRE GETS A TREK OF HER OWN AND MR. FRIENDLY'S BEARD IS A FAKE.
Ethan: [to Claire] A little medicine for your baby
BURSTING LOCKE'S FAITH BUBBLE.
Eko: Yes, and I believe the work you have been doing is more important now than ever.
Locke: Work?
Eko:Locke: That's not work! That's a joke. Rats, in a maze, with no cheese.
Eko: We are being tested.
Locke: Tested?
Eko: The reason to do it, pushing the button, is not because we are told so in the film.
Locke: Well, then what is the reason, Mr. Eko?
Eko: We do it because we believe we are meant to. Isn't that the reason you pushed it, John?
Locke: I was never... meant to do anything! Every single second of my pathetic little life is as useless as that button! You think it's important? You think it's necessary? It's nothing, it's meaningless; and who are you to tell me that it's not?
MICHAEL: NOT JUST THE GUY WHO CONSTANTLY SCREAMS "WAAAAAAALT" ANYMORE.
Ms. Klugh: After you release our man, I'm going to need you to do something else.
Michael: Whatever you want.
Ms. Klugh: I'm writing 4 names down -- 4 of your friends. We need you to bring them here. You have to bring only these 4 people, Michael. Just them. If you don't bring all the people on the list, you'll never see Walt again.
Michael: [still crying] Okay, okay.
Ms. Klugh: Do you understand, Michael?
Michael: [still crying] Yes. What do I tell them.
Ms. Klugh: Doesn't matter. Make up a story. They'll be angry enough to believe whatever you say.
[She hands him the list of names.]
Michael: Who's James Ford?
Ms. Klugh: You know him as Sawyer. You know the rest of them?
Michael: Yeah. I know them. If I do all this -- if I do what you say...
Ms. Klugh: You get your son back. You both go free.
IF YOU CAN'T BE RESCUED, BE DRUNK AND DISORDERLY.
Desmond: But the first piece of land I saw wasn't Fiji was it, no... No it was here, this... this island. And you know why?
[Jack shakes his head]
Desmond: Because this, is it. This is all there is left. This ocean, and this place here, we are stuck in a bloody snowglobe!
AS IF THERE WEREN'T ALREADY ENOUGH SLIGHTLY CREEPY CRAZY-MAKING MYSTERIES ON THIS SHOW.
Sayid: I do not know what is more disquieting---the fact that the rest of the statue is missing, or that it has four toes.
TREACHEROUS TREKS WITH TRAITORS IS A TERRIBLE IDEA.
Michael: Who are you people?
"Henry Gale": We're the good guys, Michael.
I MAY HAVE CRASHED FLIGHT 815. MY BAD, BRUTHA!
Desmond: On that day, those numbers turned to hieroglyphics, and this whole place just starting shakin', and that screen- that screen filled up with 'SYSTEM FAILURE', see, here, 'SYSTEM FAILURE, SYSTEM FAILURE', September 22nd, 2004, the day your plane crashed, it's real, it's all bloody real now PUSH THE DAMN BUTTON!
THIS WON'T BE THE LAST TIME WE SEE LIGHT FLASHES OF WTF.
Why This Moment?:Desmond: [after Locke destroys the computer] You killed us. You killed us all.
Locke: No. I just saved us all.
PENNY'S TRYING TO FIND THE ISLAND? WELL I CERTAINLY DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING.
Portuguese man 2: So it's not a false alarm this time?!
Portuguese man 1: Just shut up and call!!
[On the other end, a woman answers the phone]
Woman: Hello?
Portuguese man 2: Ms. Widmore? It's us. I think we found it.
[Penelope Widmore looks shocked as the episode cuts to black]
