8. Christian warns Jack to be careful with Ms. Busoni. He suspects something.
9. "Careful. There's a line, son. You know it's there. And pretending it's not--that would be a mistake." Christian Shepard
10. "No, your name. Why'd you pick Sawyer?" Locke "What do you mean, pick?" Sawyer "After the census, Hurley gave me the flight manifest. Your name is James, right? James Ford. Just an interesting name to choose is all. Where'd you get it from?" Locke

24. "You will always need something to fix." Sarah
25. "How long do you think it would take to train an army?" Jacks asks Ana Lucia.

Questions:

1. Would Michael really have shot Jack if he tried to stop him?
2. Why does Locke ask Sawyer about his real name? Does he know he got it from his father, the real Sawyer?
3. Why does Jack make Kate stay behind?
4. Why don't the Others just explain the situation to them?
5. Why don't they just take them right there?
6. Why would Mr. Friendly quote Alvar Hanso? Is he Dharma?
7. What happened to the damn army?

Favorites:

1. "Did you just throw a banana at me? There are better ways to wake a man up, Freckles." Sawyer
2. "It's a good thing I'm traveling with my doctor." Sawyer
3. "Well, yeah, there's my favorite leaf. How could I forget this place?" Sawyer

6. "This music is quite depressing." Sayid From Lostpedia
7. "That's an interesting theory." Mr. Friendly
8. "You and me ain't done, Zeke." Sawyer

Notes:

1. Jack, stop being such a big baby. If you weren't so awkward and emotional about everything and had taken Kate with you, she wouldn't have been captured by the Others and used against you!
2. Um, Jack, brilliant idea, but why don't you ask the one dude on the island who has actually been in an army?
3. The scene with the Others and Mr. Friendly is clearly the best scenes in this episode, otherwise it is by far not one of my favorites.
4. "Since the dawn of our species man has been blessed with curiosity." A quote from Alvar Hanso.
