Quotes 

• James 'Sawyer' Ford : You ready to give us the name, Gizmo?

  John Locke : He's not going to tell you who the spy is on their boat, James.

  James 'Sawyer' Ford : Yeah, why not?

  John Locke : Because that's the only thing keeping him alive.

  James 'Sawyer' Ford : Well, here's an idea: why don't we take a gun, point it to his big toe and send that little piggy to the market... And if he still doesn't want to tell us, move on to the roast beef. Why don't we do that?

  John Locke : Because then we'd have to carry him.

• James 'Sawyer' Ford : Red here was wearing a vest. Which means her posse's gonna come expecting themselves a gun fight.

  Hugo 'Hurley' Reyes : If all they want is her, why don't we just let her go? I mean, I thought we were just gonna go hide. Why do we need to take prisoners?

  John Locke : We're keeping her because she's gonna be valuable.

  Hugo 'Hurley' Reyes : How's she gonna be valuable?

  Charlotte Staples Lewis : He means as a hostage, love.

  Hugo 'Hurley' Reyes : Nuh uh, no, that's not what I signed up for.

  John Locke : What did you sign up for, Hugo?

  Hugo 'Hurley' Reyes : Look, I'm just saying that if we let her go, they'll look at is as a sign of good faith.

  John Locke : They'll look at it as an act of foolishness, which is what it would be.

  Hugo 'Hurley' Reyes : I'm just trying to come up with some kinda compromise.

  John Locke : We're beyond compromise. And right now, Hugo, I'm making the decisions. Is that gonna be a problem for you?
