Lost Quote
[Jack and The Man in Black are meeting for the first time]
Jack: You look just like him.
The Man in Black: Does it bother you?
Jack: No, what bothers me is I have no idea what the hell you are.
The Man in Black: Sure you do.
Jack: Why John Locke?
The Man in Black: Because he was stupid enough to believe he had been brought here for a reason. Because he pursued that belief until it got him killed. And because you were kind enough to bring his body back here in a nice little wooden box.
Jack: And he had to be dead before you could look like him?
The Man in Black: That's right.
Jack: And who else have you looked like?
The Man in Black: Jack, what do you really want to ask me?
Jack: Our third day here, I chased my father through the jungle, my dead father. Was that you?
The Man in Black: Yes, that was me.
Jack: Why?
The Man in Black: You needed to find water. Jack, I know this must be hard for you to understand, but all I've ever tried to do is help you.
Jack: To "help me?" To do what?
The Man in Black: Leave! But because Jacob chose you you were trapped on this Island, before you even got here. Now Jacob's dead, we don't need to be trapped here. We can get on a plane and fly away anytime we want.
Jack: If we could just get on a plane and fly away, why would you even still be here?
The Man in Black: Because it has to be all of us.
[Jack still looks uncertain]
The Man in Black: What?
Jack: John Locke was the only one of us who ever believed in this place. He did everything he could to keep us from leaving this Island.
The Man in Black: John Locke was not a believer, Jack. He was a sucker.
Jack: You look just like him.
The Man in Black: Does it bother you?
