Lost Quote
Kate: So you're the one who wrote our names on the wall?
Jacob: I am.
Kate: Sun and Jin Kwon and Sayid Jarrah. You wrote their names on the wall?
Jacob: Yes,
Kate: Is that why they're dead?
Jacob: I'm very sorry.
Kate: You're sorry?
Hurley: Kate...
Kate: No, I wanna know why. I wanna know that Sun and Jin and Sayid didn't die for nothing.
Jacob: ...Come and sit down and I will tell you what they died for. I'll tell you why I chose them. And why I chose you. And I'll tell you everything you need to know about protecting this Island, because by the time that fire burns out, one of you is gonna have to start doing it. [The group gathers around] I don't really know where to start.
Hurley: How about why you brought us to the Island.
Jacob: I brought all of you here because I made a mistake. A mistake I made a very long time ago, and now, because of that there's a very good chance every single one of you and everyone you've ever cared about is going to die.
Sawyer: What mistake?
Jacob: You call him "The Monster." But I'm responsible for what happened to him. I made him that way. And ever since then he's been trying to kill me. It was only a matter of time before he figured out how, and when he did, someone would have to replace me. And that's why I brought you all here.
Sawyer: Tell me something, Jacob. Why do I gotta be punished for your mistake? What made you think you could mess with my life? I was doing just fine until you dragged my ass to this rock.
Jacob: No you weren't. None of you were. I didn't pluck any of you out of some happy existence. You were all flawed. I chose you because you were all like me. You were all alone. You were all looking for something you couldn't find out there. I chose you because you needed this place as
