James 'Sawyer' Ford
- Dr. Jack Shephard: That's why the Sox will never win the series.
- James 'Sawyer' Ford: What's that? What'd you just say?
- Dr. Jack Shephard: I said that's why the Red Sox will never win the series.
- James 'Sawyer' Ford: What the Hell is that supposed to mean?
- Dr. Jack Shephard: It's just something my father used to say going through life, knowing that people hated him. Instead of taking responsibility for it, he just put it on fate, said he was made that way.
- James 'Sawyer' Ford: Your daddy, he a doctor, too?
- Dr. Jack Shephard: Was. He's dead. Why do you want to know about my father?
- James 'Sawyer' Ford: [long pause] No reason.
- James 'Sawyer' Ford: Ah! He pissed on my shirt! The boar took my shirt outta my backpack and pissed on it!
- James 'Sawyer' Ford: [talking with Dr. Christian Shephard in a bar in Australia] What'd you handle back in the States?
- Dr. Christian Shephard: I was a Chief of Surgery.
- James 'Sawyer' Ford: Was?
- Dr. Christian Shephard: Yeah, was.
- James 'Sawyer' Ford: But we're in Hell, huh?
- Dr. Christian Shephard: Don't let the air conditioning fool you, son. You are here, too. You are suffering. But, don't beat yourself up about it. It's fate. Some people are just supposed to suffer. That's why the Red Sox will never win the damn series. I have a son who's about your age. He's not like me. He does what's in his heart. He's a good man... maybe a great one. Right now, he thinks that I hate him. He thinks I feel betrayed by him. But what I really feel is gratitude and pride because of what he did to me. What he did for me. It took more courage than I have. There's a pay phone over here. I could pick it up, and I could call my son. I could tell him about all this. I could tell him that I love him. One simple phone call, and I could fix everything.
- James 'Sawyer' Ford: Why don't you?
- Dr. Christian Shephard: Because I am weak.
- Kate Austen: A boar wouldn't just attack you for no reason.
- James 'Sawyer' Ford: Thank you, boar expert. This one did!
- James 'Sawyer' Ford: I never been to Disneyland.
- [Kate doesn't drink]
- James 'Sawyer' Ford: Oh, that's just sad.
- Kate Austen: [shrugs] I never wore pink.
- [Sawyer sighs and drinks]
- Kate Austen: I knew it!
- James 'Sawyer' Ford: [shrugging] The '80s. I never voted Democrat.
- Kate Austen: I never voted.
- James 'Sawyer' Ford: [Sawyer drinks] I've never been in love.
- Kate Austen: You've never been in love?
- James 'Sawyer' Ford: I ain't drinking, am I?
- Kate Austen: [Kate drinks] I've never had a one-night stand.
- [Sawyer drinks]
- Kate Austen: Bottoms up, sailor!
- James 'Sawyer' Ford: I gotta drink for each one?
- Kate Austen: Your turn.
- James 'Sawyer' Ford: I never been married.
- Kate Austen: [Kate has a small sip] It didn't last long.
- James 'Sawyer' Ford: I never killed a man.
- [Sawyer glares as Kate drinks. Sawyer then drinks.]
- James 'Sawyer' Ford: Well... it looks like we got something in common after all.
- James 'Sawyer' Ford: Stick 'em up.
- Dr. Jack Shephard: You trying to be funny?
- James 'Sawyer' Ford: Yeah.
- Kate Austen: Maybe it's got your scent, doesn't like your cologne.
- James 'Sawyer' Ford: I don't wear cologne.
- Kate Austen: Yes, you do.
- James 'Sawyer' Ford: Yeah, well...
- Kate Austen: [walking up behind Sawyer] It's a foot print. Based on the weight and the distance between strides, I'd say you've been following Boone for about an hour.
- James 'Sawyer' Ford: Look...
- Kate Austen: It could be Charlie, I suppose.
- James 'Sawyer' Ford: I'm tickled you're taking such an interest in my affairs. I really am. So don't take it personal when I tell you...
- Kate Austen: I want carte blanche.
- James 'Sawyer' Ford: What?
- Kate Austen: It's simple. You can't track that boar without my help. Over the last few hours you have managed to follow the tracks of humans, birds, a rock slide, yourself, basically everything except boar. You have no idea what you're doing.
