- Charlie: So, you're telling me you saw a flash of Claire drowning this morning, so you knew how to save her?
- Desmond: I wasn't saving Claire, Charlie... I was saving you. This morning, you dove in after Claire. You tried to save her but you drowned.
- Charlie: What do you mean? I didn't drown.
- Desmond: When I saw the lightning hit the roof, you were electrocuted. And when Claire was in the water, you drowned trying to save her. I dove in myself so you never went in. I tried, brother. I've tried twice to save you, but the universe has a way of course-correcting, and I can't stop it forever. I'm sorry - I'm sorry because, no matter what I try to do... you're gonna die, Charlie.
- Desmond: How do I know you?
- Charlie: I don't, um...
- Desmond: Where do I know you from?
- Charlie: I don't know, but I'll remember if I could get some help.
- Desmond: [Sees a flashback to the island] You're Charlie!
- Charlie: Yeah, name's on the sign.
- Desmond: It, it was in the hatch! I remember seeing you! There was a computer, there was a button... we were on an island!
- Charlie: We are on an island, mate. This is England.
- Desmond: No, it was real! I remember.
- Charlie: Hey, all right.
- [to the crowd]
- Charlie: This is why we don't do drugs.
- Ms. Hawking: The Universe, unfortunately, has a way of course-correcting. That man was supposed to die, that was his path. Just as it's *your* path to go to the island. You don't do it because you choose to, Desmond; you do it because you're supposed to.
- Hurley: Dude, I don't know about this.
- Charlie: See, you're looking at this all wrong. We need to do this.
- Hurley: He wants us to take his stash - yeah, that sounds exactly like Sawyer.
- Charlie: Well, he stole all this in the first place. I mean, people need food, they need medical supplies, they need... a shocking amount of pornography.
