Quotes
Season One
- Pilot, Part One [1.1]
- Jack: [as Boone is trying to give CPR to Rose] Stop! Her head's not tilted back enough, you're blowing air into her stomach.
Boone: Are you sure? That was exactly what I was doing. I'm a lifeguard, I'm licensed.
Jack: Yeah, well you seriously need to think about giving that license back.
Boone: Maybe we should do one of those hole things? You know, stick the pen in the throat?
Jack: [sarcastically] Yeah, good idea, you go get me a pen! - Jack: Give it a break.
Sawyer: Whatever you say, Doc. You're the hero. - Jack: Three days ago we all died. We should all be able to start over.
- Sawyer: You're just not looking at the big picture, Doc. You're still back in civilization.
Jack: Yeah? And where are you?
Sawyer: Me? I'm in the wild. - Jack: [after Claire suggests he say a few things at the massive funeral service] Why me? I'm not a minister, I'm a doctor...
- Christian [to young Jack]: You don't wanna be a hero. You don't wanna try and save everyone. Because when you fail... you just don't have what it takes.
- Jack: I can't.
Locke: Why can't you?
Jack: Because I'm not a leader.
Locke: Yet they all treat you like one. - Jack: I don't know how to help them. I'll fail. I don't have what it takes.
- Kate: It's just that you... and the tattoos... don't add up. Were you one of those hardcore spinal surgeons or something?
Jack: That's me. Hardcore.
Charlie: If you two are done verbally copulating, we should get a move on. - Sawyer: A doctor playin' golf. Now I've heard everything. What's next? A cop eatin' a doughnut?
- Jack [on helping Sawyer]: ...all I'm gonna get is a snappy one-liner, and, if I'm lucky, a brand-new nickname.
- Jack [diagnosing Sawyer]: Have you ever had sex with a prostitute?
Sawyer: What's that got to do with my headaches?
Jack: Maybe a lot.
Sawyer: ...yes.
Jack: Have you ever contracted an STD? [Sawyer is silent] I'll take that as a yes. When was your last breakout?
Sawyer: Go to hell, Doc.
Kate: I know he deserved it, but...
Jack: He needs glasses. - Locke: I think that's why you and I don't see eye-to-eye sometimes Jack, because you're a man of science.
Jack: Yeah...and what does that make you?
Locke: Me? Well, I'm a man of faith.

- Jack: [to Sawyer] Hey, what are you doing?
Sawyer: What's it look like? (arming self) I'm coming with ya.
Jack: You're still on antibiotics.
Sawyer: It's a good thing I'm travelling with my doctor then. - Jack: So, what's done is done.
- Sawyer: When I asked you what you wanted for stakes, why didn't you ask for the guns?
Jack: When I need the guns, I'll get the guns. - Kate: I'm sorry I kissed you.
Jack: [pause] I'm not. - Jack: Why're you telling me this, Sawyer?
Sawyer: Cause you're about the closest thing I've got to a friend, Doc. And cause she's gone...

- A Tale of Two Cities [3.1]
- Juliet: What do you do, Jack? What's your profession?
Jack: I'm a repo man. You know, when people don't pay their bills I go into the bank and collect their possessions. I'm a people person so I really love it.
Juliet: Are you married?
Jack: No. I never saw the point. What about you? What's your job, besides making sandwiches?
Juliet: Oh, I didn't make it. I just put the toothpicks in. - Juliet: It doesn't work that way over here Jack, we make decisions together.
Jack: Really? Because when I was holding that broken plate to your neck, he seemed happy to just let you die. It seemed like he made that decision alone. - Kate: I can't leave without you!
Jack: Yes, you can! Go!
Kate: Jack, I can't!
Jack: Go! Now!
Kate: Jack, I can't!
Jack: Kate, Dammit, RUN! - Jack: No, I think you misunderstood me. I didn't say I was gonna do it. I just wanted you to understand how you're gonna die.
- Jack: I need you to make me a promise, Kate.
Kate: Jack-
Jack: Promise me that you'll never come back here for me. Don't come back, Kate. - Isabelle: [about Jack's tattoo] He walks amongst us, though he is not one of us. That's what they say.
Jack: That's what they say. It's not what they mean. - Kate: Why are you sticking up for Saywer? You know he'd never do the same for you.
Jack: Because I love you. - Kate: Hey.
Jack: Hey.
Kate: [after a pause] Saw you on the news. Still pulling people out of burning wreckage, huh.
Jack: Old habits.
Kate: You look terrible.
Jack: [laughs] Thanks.
Kate: Why'd you call me, Jack?
Jack: [displaying the as-yet unknown obituary] I was hoping that you heard... that you would go to the funeral.
Kate: ...Why would I go to the funeral?
Jack: [after a long pause] Been flying a lot.
Kate: What?
Jack: That golden pass they gave us? Been using it. Every Friday night I fly from L.A. to Tokyo... or Singapore... or Sydney. I get off... have a drink... fly home.
Kate: ...why?
Jack: Because I want it to crash, Kate. I don't care about anyone else on board. Every little bump we hit, turbulence... I actually close my eyes, and I pray... I pray that I can go back.
Kate: This is not going to change...
Jack: No, I'm sick of lying. We made a mistake.
Kate: I have to go. He's going to be wondering where I am.
Jack: We were not supposed to leave.
Kate: Yes, we were. [she begins to leave and get in the car]
Jack: We have to go back, Kate. [the car pulls away] We have to go back!
