Locke "John, three months ago, in Gainesville, Florida, the Virgin Mary seemed to appear in a patch of mold on the side of an old housing complex. When the word got out, over 5,000 people came to see her face for themselves. You've survived an airline crash on this island. One minute, you're in a wheelchair. The next minute, you're doing jumping jacks. If 5,000 people came out to see a piece of mold, how many people do you think would come here to see you? Charles Widmore wants to exploit this island, and he'll do everything in his power to possess it." Ben (On the tape, Widmore beats the blindfolded man with his fists.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you all this sooner. But it was the only bargaining chip I had left." Ben "There's one more thing I need to know. Your man on the boat...I want you to tell me who it is."

Notes:

1. Desmond questioning Jack and Juliet's loyalty, excellent.
2. Sawyer kills Anthony Cooper Star Wars stylee, the same way that Princess Leia kills Jabba the Hutt in Return of the Jedi.
3. Kate, why can't you shut your mouth and listen to the damn Iraqi? Do you have to tell Jack everything that happens on the damn island, especially after he's canoodling with his favorite Other? That scene is so lame.
4. When Anthony Cooper says he doesn't raise dummies, I originally thought that he was saying he was Sawyer's father too.

6. Josh Holloway is phenomenal in this episode.
7. I don't think Ben literally meant to return carrying your father's body on your back, Locke.
