Questions:

1. Has Juliet seen the monster before?
2. Why did the monster take photographs of Juliet?
3. Why doesn't the monster like the fences? Why can't it go over the fence?
4. Why has Juliet's shoulder been dislocated so many times?

Favorites:

1. "You know how for three days, ten hours and fifteen minutes I ain't allowed to use nicknames?" Sawyer "Yeah?" Hurley "Well, you, Sir Hugo, are rotund, annoying, and you're ruining my damned view. How's that for amends?" Sawyer
2. "I ain't gonna get the Korean vote." Sawyer
3. "Dude you stink. What is that, fish?" Hurley "No." Sawyer "Did you try to gut one yourself? How have you not learned that by now? I mean we've been here like, three months." Hurley
4. "Apologize for calling me all those names." Hurley "[Sighs] I'm really sorry I called you rotund." Sawyer "Really?" Hurley "Ah God, you're worse than a girl. Come on, let's, spread the love." Sawyer
5. "Welcome to the wonderful world of not knowing what the hell's going on." Kate

7. "How's your shoulder?" Kate "Awesome." Juliet
8. "[At the beach, Sawyer pours beer over the skinned boar as he cooks it] Ahaha!" Sawyer "Um, ah, its delicious. Just a little DHARM-A1 and paprika."

Charlie
9. "You son of a bitch. There wasn't ever gonna be no vote." Sawyer "But, wasn't it nice, being nice?" Hurley "You tricked me into being decent? That's gotta be the lamest cons in the history of cons." Sawyer "It wasn't a con dude. If you're gonna be our temporary leader, you need to do some damage control." Hurley "Leader? The hell are you smokin'?" Sawyer

Notes:

1. Sawyer was reading Watership Down again.
2. Although, Kate having a flashback entirely devoted to her meeting Cassidy and her mother telling her why she screamed in Born to Run, is kind of lame, I don't really mind this flashback.
