Quotes
-
Ben Linus : [Ben and Locke stand over a mass open grave full of skeletons, some still wearing their DHARMA jumpsuits] This is where I came from, John. These are my people. The DHARMA Initiative. They came here seeking harmony, but they couldn't even coexist with the Island's original inhabitants. And when it became clear that one side had to go, one side had to be purged, I did what I had to do. I was one of the people that was smart enough to make sure that I didn't end up in that ditch. Which makes me considerably smarter than you, John.
[Ben shoots Locke, who falls into the ditch]
Ben Linus : What did Jacob say to you?
John Locke : Why did you do this?
Ben Linus : Because you heard him. Now, I need to know what he said.
John Locke : Help me...
Ben Linus : John, I'm not going to ask you again. What did he say to you?
John Locke : He said, "Help me."
Ben Linus : [Ben looks incredulous, pauses a moment, utters a disbelieving half-laugh] Well, I certainly hope he helps you, John.
[He leaves Locke lying in the ditch]
