I always wanted to start this thread, hopefully I got to it first :)
My fave lines:

Ben: So?
Dan: (to Charlotte about where she was born) You don't know?
Hurley: Dude, I've been having regular conversations with dead people, the last thing I need is paranoia
Locke: (to Ben in reference to finding the flowers--which I can't spell...) I don't know what they look like--had me laughing

I just thought the whole "BOOM" conversation between Jin, Desmond and Michael was hilarious!

So many good lines!

Sawyer referring himself and Jack to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid...
Locke asking Ben if the Orchid station is the box...
Locke telling Jack that he had to lie to them, and if he lied half as good as he did to himself they would believe him!
Des saying he had 6 months of training about bomb defusing...long enough to learn to blow yourself up!
...the metal in the "time" travel room Locke asks Ben about after he sees the video...
...the video talking about exotic matter...

(Best of all was the kissing though.)

Rose: I've got my eye on you, shorty.

Jack to Desmond: "See you in another life, brutha!"

Sawyer calling Lapidus "Kenny Rogers".

Dude, I think visiting hours are over.

Timetraveling bunnies. :biggrin:

My faves -
The "boom" conversation
Sawyer referring to himself and Jack and Butch and Sundance.
Rose telling Miles, "I got my eye on you, Shorty!"
Jack telling Des, "See you in another life, Brotha!"
And Jack telling Lapidus, "Thank you for all your help and I hope I never see you again!"
Ben - "You mean the time traveling bunnies?!"
Hurley: "Checkmate, Mr. Eko."

Ben: Could you cut me free Kate?

There is a split second where it looks like Kate wants to say, "Do I have to?" :D


The whole thing about Locke not being able to find the anthuriums was hilarious.

Locke asking Ben if the Orchid station is the box...



And Ben's reply "No, John" With that classic Ben look like "Duh, can you say metaphor?"

Not really a line, but John watching Halliwax on the video saying to NEVER put anything inorganic or metal inside the vault...while Ben is loading it down with all the metal he can find! Hilarious!

-AJF

Locke fumbling with the VCR buttons was also quite amusing, especially given his history with buttons.

"If you mean time-traveling bunny... then yes"
100%

Yes that was a fantastic scene!!!

Walt to Hurley: "Where's my money?!?!" (in reference to the $83,000 owed to him from the backgammon games)

Yeah...I know. He didn't actually say that. But he should have.

Walt to Hurley: "Where's my money?!?!" (in reference to the $83,000 owed to him from the backgammon games)

Yeah...I know. He didn't actually say that. But he should have.

Ha! I almost had to rewatch that scene again to find that comment...that would have been funny.
Upon rewatching, I also thought it was funny when Hurley said Locke and Jack were discussing "leader stuff" :biggrin:
Miles' comment, "Yes, what DO I mean" to Charlotte

"Are you expecting someone?"
"May I have my weapon back?"

hURLEY TO sAYID:

Dude, I talk to dead people on a regular basis. Now you want me to be paranoid? (paraphrase)

My wife was reading a book, doesn't watch the show, even she laughed at that one.

I agree Locke: "I don't know what they look like" (re: Anthuriums).

His tone and the way he was scurrying next to Ben made it even more hysterical. With that scene, Ben's sarcasm about the Box, Locke's fumbling when the Orchid video started rewiding, Ben's candy bar scene with Hurley, TPTB seem to be demystifying Ben and Locke with comedy.

Not "best line" but Ben putting all that equipment in the chamber -- made me laugh too -- the dreaded metal in the microwave thing.

Checkmate Mr. Eko

That killed me! Locke just sorta raises one finger as if to say " Umm...Ben.....":rotflmao2:

Loche hanging around talking with Jack cause he doesn't know what the flower looks like.

Then Ben shows up with that look of, why are you still here. Followed by the overdramatic flower, lean, pull the elevator lever.

Ben: Here, why don't you watch this very informative video, while I conduct some business?

I don't remember the exact wording, but Ben's patronizing "While I'm working, why don't you just watch this nice video that explains it all for you?" was hilarious.

Ben- "So?"
Miles- "I don't know, what do I mean?"
Hurley- "Checkmate Mr. Eco"
Juliet in response to Sawyers "Is that our boat"- "It was"

Christian to Michael: "You can go now."

Sawyer: Just do it, Freckles. (:wub:)

Kate: HOW DARE YOU? (:clap:)

Walt to Hurley: "Where's my money?!?!" (in reference to the $83,000 owed to him from the backgammon games)

Yeah...I know. He didn't actually say that. But he should have.


I was waiting for either of them to say anything about this because it would have hilarious!!

John: Well jack you put a gun to my head and pulled the trigger, I was hoping we could let bygons be bygons

The "You can go now Michael" line.

But the moment of the episode for me (I've already said this in another thread) was Ben pushing that wheel, weeping, knowing full well he can never return to the island.

Immense. Hats off to Michael Emerson again, superb scene.

"It's Dark Jack, Very Dark"
Coming from Ben.......... IT IS very dark.

Ben had a great line to Locke after he killed Keamy. I sure that someone will remember the exact wording, but it was something about leaders sometimes making an error in judgement based on an emotional reaction.

To me, that line came off as a big fat shout-out to all of us fans (and I'm certainly one of them) who likes to complain about some of the emotional reactions of characters like Jack, who take on the leadership roles. I sort of felt like the writers "put me in my place" with that line. Like it was a big reminder that the leaders are only human, and that they are just as subject to making mistakes as the rest of us.


Anyway "Kenny Rodgers" was by far my favorite Sawyerism of the night. I forgot how much I missed those clever nicknames!

You'll do fine if you lie to them half as good as you lie to yourself. (loosely quoted)

Checkmate, Mr. Eko.

Just do it, Freckles.

Jin: 'Boom'

Hurley: Checkmate, Mr. Eko

hURLEY TO sAYID:

Dude, I talk to dead people on a regular basis. Now you want me to be paranoid? (paraphrase)

My wife was reading a book, doesn't watch the show, even she laughed at that one.

That was one of my favorite lines as well. It made me laugh.

Rose telling Miles, "I got my eye on you, Shorty" had me in stitches. Nobody messes with Rose. :biggrin:

Dude on boat: Foreign speak, foreign speak, foreign speak, foreign speak, foreign speak, Ms. Whitmore.

I jumped out of my seat and cheered. Shed a tear when they finally saw each other. I know something is going to happen to them (I can feel it, lol), but at least they got back together.

"Checkmate, Mr. Echo" was great, too.

Ben's "So?" was hilarious. Couldn't help but think that the writers were taking a pot shot at a certain Vice President.

Ben: "You couldn't find the anthuriums, could you?"

Locke: "Well, I don't know what they look like!"

and

"Ms. Widmore, Ms. Widmore!"

Best part of the entire episode.

Sawyer whispers to Kate, "I am jumping out so you might as well marry Jack, but promise me you will contact my daughter and make sure she gets the money I left her. Give us a kiss."

Haha.

Sayid's line after Hurley's hilarious one about dead people and paranoia

He says something in the way of paranoia has saved his life a few times.

Kate~ "Why are you telling me this?" after Sawyer whispers to her. ...heartbreaking.

Miles saying "Yes, what DO I mean?" (I have a feeling this character is going to have me in stitches the rest of the time on the show)

Paraphrased

Locke: "Was he talking about what I think he was talking about?"
Ben: "If you mean time traveling bunnies, then yes."

All I could think of when I heard this was Frank the bunny from Donnie Darko.

Ben: "You couldn't find the anthuriums, could you?"
Locke: "Well, I didn't know what they looked like!"

Ben had some great one liners in this episode. Hopefully he'll have more.

"May I have my weapon back, please" -Ben

"Something wrong with your neck?" -Miles

"Don't you dare say his name!!" -Kate

Not really a line, but John watching Halliwax on the video saying to NEVER put anything inorganic or metal inside the vault...while Ben is loading it down with all the metal he can find! Hilarious!

-AJFPriceless!

Miles' comment, "Yes, what DO I mean" to Charlotte
This was the first moment all season that I actually liked Miles.
"It's Dark Jack, Very Dark"
.
I forgot that one! I love EVERYTHING M.E says.

Locke: You just killed everyone on that boat!
Ben: So what?

Rose: I've got my eye on you, shorty.

Those were rose's last words!

Locke: Just wait till you see what I'm about to do

Ben to Locke: "Sometimes good command decisions get compromised by bad emotional responses. I'm sure you're going to do a much better job of separating the two than I ever did."

I'm surprised no one has said this. I laughed the hardest when...

Hurley: He did it, Locke moved the Island.
Jack: No, he didn't.

I'm surprised no one has said this. I laughed the hardest when...

Hurley: He did it, Locke moved the Island.
Jack: No, he didn't.

I just came here to write these lines but I think it is not funny. it is totally disgusting, because Jack knows that Ben moved the Island. what jack says is totally true, island moved but not by john, by ben

Ben to Locke: "Sometimes good command decisions get compromised by bad emotional responses. I'm sure you're going to do a much better job of separating the two than I ever did."


Thank you! That was the one that I was trying to remember. I thought that was one heck of a line.

"Boom", "Brotha" and "Bunnies".

In that order. :)

When locke couldn't find the plants, and ben just walked up to them and shaked them to him, as if to say, 'are you blind?'

Ben, has become so funny over the last season.

From when sawyer and hurley saw him out and about for the first time, and he said....'see you at dinner'.

To....'Can i have my weapon back now?'

It was sad when he was leaving though.

Sawyer though: 'So whats the plan sundance?'

See you in another life.

Sawyer calling Lapidus "Kenny Rogers." PRetty funny.

ha! That quote is now my headline on myspace :redface

Well you say that but how would he know Ben did it, and not Locke? The last he saw was them both going down the elevator. I think his "No, he didn't." line was his fantastic ability to lie to himself, which Locke pointed out earlier in the episode. It was good writing, consistent with Jack's denial behavior.

For some reason, the one that got me laughing was:

Desmond: Oh, bloody hell! (when he sees the helicopter land at exactly the moment when the bomb is about to go off)

It was almost comical the way he delivered it, in that sort of (wink wink) to the audience acknowledging that essentially everything that could go wrong was suddenly going wrong (the Murphy's Law syndrome that plagued most of the ep, but to outstanding dramatic effect! Even if it's not all completely believable ;) )

Also loved the "so" from Ben -- so perfect from him, and completely captured what kind of person he is.

Hurley to Jack in the chopper

"Oh, really? Cause, one minute it was there, and the next it was gone, so unless we like overlooked it dude, that's exactly what he did."

Classic Hurley! A superb line.

Rose: I've got my eye on you, shorty.

Hurley: He did it, Locke moved the Island.
Jack: No, he didn't.

I hope you're happy now, Jacob.

Hello John. Welcome home.



Came from a box Ben dug up out of the ground. They're good.

It's an Island John, no one needs to protect it.

When Kate said:

"So we can go.....off the island. That's it".

and Ben replied,

"That's it".

Sawyer calling Lapidus "Kenny Rogers".

I'm with you on that one- been waiting for someone to pick up on the likeness for a while now & it had to Sawyer & his smart mouth!

Also liked his line to Kate in the same scene about one of the dead mercs ticking her off!

Hurley's line about having regular conversations with dead people was pretty amusing too.

same things that all the Dharma stations are for --
silly experiments

Sawyer calling Lapidus "Kenny Rogers".

Yeah :biggrin: ! Sawyer is finally Sawyer again! I missed him so much!

I'm quite late to this party, and you guys have covered them all. But mine were:

"So?" - Ben
"If you're talking about time traveling bunnies, then yes." - Ben
"Why are you telling me this?" - Kate
"I'm not celebrating." - Juliet
"Checkmate Mr. Eko." - Hurley
"You can go now Michael." - Christian
"What AM I talking about?" - Miles

Best non-verbals to Sun's excrutiating screams as she watched the freighter blow up.
