Miles: You sure this is a shortcut, huh?
Ben: I lived in these houses a long time, Miles. I think I can remember how to get there.
Miles: Well, I lived in these houses 30 years before you did -- otherwise known as last week. And I have know idea where the hell we are.

Richard: You mind if I ask, how much explosive you have access to, Ben?
Ben: More than enough to destroy the plane ten times over and keep us from ever leaving this island
Richard: It's been a long time. You sure it's still there?
Ben: It's C-4, Richard. I put some thought into hiding it.
Miles: Let me guess, cookie jar.
Ben: Don't be ridiculous. It's in my secret room behind the bookcase.

John: Just the man I was looking for.
Ben: Well, you found me. Can I get you a glass of lemonade?
John: I need you... to kill some people for me, Ben.
Ben: And why would I do that?
John: Because once I leave this island, you can have it all to yourself.
Ben: All right.
John: Good. Now, whose outrigger is that down at the dock?
Ben: I believe it's Charles Widmore's
John: And do you know where I might find him?
Ben: He's hiding in my closet.

Miles: These are both great plans, but I'm going to go with surviving. If you need us, we'll be running through the jungle.

Hugo: So... how you going to pick?
Jacob: I'm not going to pick, Hugo. I want you to have the one thing that I was never given--a choice.
Kate: What if none of us chooses it?
Jacob: Then this ends very badly.
Jack: I'll do it. This is why I'm here. This is... this is where I'm supposed to be.
Jacob: Is that a question, Jack?
Jack: No.
Jacob: Good.

Ben: Hey, can I ask you something?
John: Shoot.
Ben: If you can turn into smoke whenever you want, why do you bother walking?
John: I like the feel of my feet on the ground. It reminds me that I was human.
