2. "What happened?" Libby "I cut myself shaving." Ana Lucia
3. "Here's the thing, even that would be good, because then Libby would be like, "it's the thought that counts," and I'll score major points. Especially when she sees me holding it over my head." Hurley "And why would I hold a static generating radio over my head?" Sayid "They didn't have Say Anything in Baghdad? It's awesome.

Favorites:

7. "One second, I'm like this close to the high score on Donkey Kong." Sawyer "Where's Locke?" Jack "I don't know. I think he said something about going to the store for a pack of smokes." Sawyer

Notes:

1. We the viewers are put on a long con because the first person they show when Sun is attacked is Sawyer, leading us to believe that he has nothing to do with it.
2. It's amazing how much Sawyer has changed and grown as a character. He says that he's never done a good thing in his life, but in the end, he does.
3. Sawyer cons Cassidy off-island and knows that she will figure him out and want to work with him, while he cons the survivors on-island and knows that Kate will ask him to help her. They both play into Sawyer's hands.
4. I believe that Sawyer long conned Gordy as well as Cassidy.
