Desmond - "I've always loved you."

I know, I'm a sentimental fool. But I've been waiting for Des and Penny to make contact for a long time.

Daniel telling Desmond “I’d be careful crossing the street if I were you!”

Juliet telling Daniel: "Well why don't you explain it slooowly so we can understand..."

Sayid walking into a room full of devastated electronic equipment with thousands of wires cut around him... "Give me a minute"

Desmond - "I've always loved you."

I know, I'm a sentimental fool. But I've been waiting for Des and Penny to make contact for a long time.


Des asking Daniel, "What about your head?"

Eloise: "Squeek, squeek. Yummm, cheese!"

Not exactly one line per se, but to me the best dialogue was Des's explanation for why he needed Penny's phone number now - "I'm going to call you, but it won't be for 8 years, Dec 24, 2004"

-- she has just such a great reaction to that, and it perfectly summed up their relationship = I know it's a leap of faith, but you just have to trust me, I will call and I do love you, but you have to wait for me. Odysseus and Penelope, anyone? ;)

I was just on a ferris wheel.

But when Des said to Penny "OMG, is it really you?" I lost it completely.
:bawling:

Juliet telling Daniel: "Well why don't you explain it slooowly so we can understand..."

Yip, that was the most hilarious!

S.

Everything Des and Penny said on the phone. SO SWEET. :heart: :heart: :heart:

:bawling:

OMG, me too! I was crying like a fool by the end of their conversation.

Otherwise, lots of good lines reviewed in this thread.

yeah, I was crying too. :blshing1: :mushy:

It's really no news to me that I have no romantic bone in my body, but I thought that was cheesy as hell. In an endearing way, but still cheesy.

You know what this episode missed in terms of great lines? It missed Ben. Oh, how I love his snark.

My favorite line was the line that wasn't uttered:

"Previously on Lost"

When they don't do that I know the epi means business. Let's jump right on into this bad boy! :)

I loved the lines between Des and Penny.

I also like when Sayid said "give me a minute" and I can't remember the exact line but when he said that "someone was going to have to explain what is going on."

When Desmond said to Daniel "what about your head?"

Faraday tells Hume, "You can't change the future."
That has implications for the flash forwards we've been watching this season.

understatement of the year... "your friend Desmond, has he recently been exposed to a high level of radiation?"

Des - "so what do you put on your head?"
Danny - chuckles "yeah"

that was funny, "head case"





"Welcome to Craphole Island, ill be your host this evening"

Arriving in the destroyed mess that was the freighter's communication center, Desmond asks Sayid if he can fix it.

Best Line from Sayid "Give me a minute."

Your right, I LMAO when he said that. I think Des actually meant all of it.. but of course Sayid just fixed the phone that was handy.

Sayid: "Are you alright now?"
Desmond: "Aye... I'm pearfect."

(that's supposed to be Scottish for "perfect")

"Thank you, Sayid."

I loved that moment between two of my favourite characters.

Desmond to Faraday...
"Do I get one??"

lol

Faraday to Jack: "Your perception of how long your friends have been gone.... it's not necessarily how long they've actually been gone."

It's a huge clue!!!

As is Sayid's line: "Then share how we took off at dusk and landed in the middle of the day!"

"You're not gonna stick me with that, Brother!"

I don't why, but the face Desmond made when he said this, plus his wild hair and always-awesome accent cracked me up and I burst out laughing.

I loved that, too! Those crazy scared eyes of his, bulging white. :D *huggles scared Des*

Frank's comment to Sayid when he handed the phone to him, "Don't go calling Baghdad." :D

You know what this episode missed in terms of great lines? It missed Ben. Oh, how I love his snark.

I totally agree, on both counts! I thought the conversation was cheesy!

Also I missed Saywer's sarcasm!

Progression is exponential. -Daniel


Sayid: Are you alright?
Des: Aye, I'm perfect. =]

"I promise" "I promise" "I promise"
Best lines. Classic television moment!

Gravelly 'sergeant punishment' type voice:
"At least it was a military dream"

Ok, I'll give you a little bit of the "cheesy" ;) but to me it just fit perfectly for their relationship. I felt it couldn't have been pulled off without the perfect combination of great acting, editing, directing, and chemistry between the characters -- it wouldn't have worked so well if it was any other couple on the show. But they're our resident "star-crossed" lovers, so "super schmaltzy" just kind of works.

And can I say what a welcome change it was to hear two people just plainly love each other and say it -- no strings attached ;)

Juliet : "Well why don't you explain it slooowly so we can understand..."

Faraday : "Your perception of how long your friends have been gone.... it's not necessarily how long they've actually been gone."

Faraday to Desmond: "And don't you think my esteemed colleagues could come up with something slightly more believable? ... Time-Paradox...soooo uninspired! **muttering as he saunters away**

and then we get a wink from Darlton

"I promise" "I promise" "I promise"
Best lines. Classic television moment!
Yeah, that kind of reminded me of The Pirates of Penzance, when Fredric and Mabel swore to each other to remain faithful to each other and wait the 63 years until they can get married. (once Frederick is 21, as counted by birthdays, since he was born on Feb 29th).:biggrin:

"You're not gonna stick me with that, Brother!"

I don't why, but the face Desmond made when he said this, plus his wild hair and always-awesome accent cracked me up and I burst out laughing.

Yes i loved this one too!;)

I liked the exchange between Widmore and Desmond. It was puzzling to me.

Gravelly 'sergeant punishment' type voice:
"At least it was a military dream"

I loved that line! :D

For a second I thought it may have impressed his superior enough to forego the usual physical punishment ---- but no .... drat...

Faraday to Desmond: "And don't you think my esteemed colleagues could come up with something slightly more original? ... Time-Paradox...how uninspired! **muttering as he saunters away**

I swear that TPTB used an old Philosophy professor of mine as the model for how Daniel should act - they are twins! That dude was soooooooo out there. But a cool dude nonetheless..... :cool:


(I think I have a crush on the uber-geeky Daniel now. He certainly threatens Sayid's top spot in the Cutie-with-a-brain hierarchy...) :lol:

Definitely "it was enough" from Desmond. I bawled like a baby when he spoke to Penny, and Sayid's apology followed by Desmond's assertions that "it was enough" killed me dead on the floor.:dead:

Gravelly 'sergeant punishment' type voice:
"At least it was a military dream"
Yeah, I meant to mention that one -- "well.. at least it was a BLOODY MILIT'RY DREAM! RIGHT! ALL OF YA -- IN THE YARD, 4 MINUTES!"

I also liked how the sergeant was always interjecting the word "right!". This is very common (and funny to me -- it reminds me of Monty Python or something) for British officers (and sergeants too presumably) when issuing commands, according to every British military book I've ever read. It's nice to see them getting international details right. However, I was suspicious about the American term "crunches" for the exercise they were doing... most such have different names over the pond. I don't know that that one was necessarily wrong though.

Did anyone say this one yet?
"Why go through the trouble of time travel? It seems, I mean it means, so unnecessary."
LOL
The whole initial encounter between Dan and Des at Oxford was an instant classic of best lines.
