John Locke
- 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.
- 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?
