JIN: What are آپ doing here?
ZOE: We're running a little test.
JIN: What kind of test?

WIDMORE'S MAN: آپ don't have any metal on آپ do you? Keys? Change?
WIDMORE: Course he doesn't, آپ idiot. I hate to resort to forcing this upon you, Desmond. But once it's over I'm going to ask آپ to make a sacrifice. And I hope for all our sakes you'll help me.

CHARLIE: Hmmm, such as?
DESMOND: I get to meet charming people.
CHARLIE: Well, cheers then. Tell me perky, are آپ happy?
DESMOND: Quite.
CHARLIE: No you're not.
DESMOND: Well, I've got a great job, lots of money, get to travel the world. Why wouldn't I be happy?
CHARLIE: Have آپ ever been in love?
DESMOND: Thousands of times.
CHARLIE: That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about spectacular, consciousness-altering love. Do آپ know what that looks like?
DESMOND: I wasn't aware that love looked like anything.
CHARLIE: I've seen it, mate. On the plane back from Sydney.
DESMOND: Is that so? Well we were on the same flight, so...maybe I saw it too.
CHARLIE: Trust me, آپ didn't.
DESMOND: Oh? Enlighten me.
CHARLIE: There was this woman, two rows in front of me, in handcuffs, sitting with a cop. He looked at me, knew I was holding. If I didn't take action I'd be caught. So I got up, went to the lav, proceeded to eliminate the evidence سے طرف کی swallowing my stash. And at that exact moment we hit turbulence. I choked. The entire bag of heroin is stuck in my throat. It's, uh, it's over. Everything starts to go dark, I'm slipping into the abyss, and then I see...her.
DESMOND: Her?
CHARLIE: A woman. Blonde, rapturously beautiful, and I know her. We're together. It's like we've always been, and always will be. This feeling, this love, and just as I'm about to be engulfed by...(snaps fingers) I open my eyes, and this sodding idiot is standing there asking me if I'm okay. But I saw it, just for a moment, I saw what it looked like.
DESMOND: Well that's just...poetry, brother. آپ know آپ should, آپ should write a song about that.
CHARLIE: Yeah yeah yeah yeah, I know what you're saying - poor suicidal rock star. But I've seen something real, I've seen the truth.
DESMOND: No, that's not the truth. آپ want to know the real truth, Pace? Right now آپ have a choice - آپ can keep on drinking, یا آپ can come with me. Now before آپ make your choice, realize that if آپ stay here, it will very likely result in the extermination of your musical career.
CHARLIE: And if I go with you?
DESMOND: In twenty minutes, you'll be luxuriating in a five-star hotel, right on the harbor front, and Charles Widmore - one of the most powerful men in this town, will owe آپ a favor.
CHARLIE: Doesn't really seem like a choice.
DESMOND: There's always a choice, brother.
[Desmond is driving with Charlie. Drive Shaft's song, "You All, Everybody" is playing on the radio.]
CHARLIE: That's my band, Drive Shaft, our first single. The beginning of everything great. آپ like it?
DESMOND: Sure, for what it is.
CHARLIE: I feel sorry for you, mate. [Desmond chuckles.] آپ think you're happy. آپ think you've got it all--this, your life. But, آپ don't.
DESMOND: Why, because none of it's real?
CHARLIE: All right, Mr. Hume. How about I offer آپ a choice?
DESMOND: What's that?
CHARLIE: I can either دکھائیں آپ what I'm talking about, یا آپ can get out of the car. [Desmond chuckles.]
DESMOND: Why in God's name would I want to get out of the car?
[Tires screech. Charlie takes hold of the wheel and forces the car out of control, off the dock and into the harbor.]
DESMOND: Aah! Uhh!
[Underwater, Desmond removes his seatbelt.]

ZOE: Widmore doesn't want to wait.
JIN: What are آپ doing here?
ZOE: We're running a little test.
JIN: What kind of test?
SEAMUS: Alright let's see where we are. Can we get a functioning E.M. field going, people?

WIDMORE'S MAN: آپ don't have any metal on آپ do you? Keys? Change?
WIDMORE: Course he doesn't, آپ idiot. I hate to resort to forcing this upon you, Desmond. But once it's over I'm going to ask آپ to make a sacrifice. And I hope for all our sakes you'll help me.
DESMOND: Sacrifice? What the bloody Hell do آپ know about sacrifice?
WIDMORE: My son died here for the sake of this island. Your wife - my own daughter - hates me. And I've never even met my grandson. But if آپ won't help me, Desmond, all of it will be for nothing. Penny, your son, and everyone else, will be gone forever.

CHARLIE: Well, cheers then. Tell me perky, are آپ happy?
DESMOND: Quite.
CHARLIE: No you're not.
DESMOND: Well, I've got a great job, lots of money, get to travel the world. Why wouldn't I be happy?
CHARLIE: Have آپ ever been in love?
DESMOND: Thousands of times.
CHARLIE: That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about spectacular, consciousness-altering love. Do آپ know what that looks like?
DESMOND: I wasn't aware that love looked like anything.
CHARLIE: I've seen it, mate. On the plane back from Sydney.
DESMOND: Is that so? Well we were on the same flight, so...maybe I saw it too.
CHARLIE: Trust me, آپ didn't.
DESMOND: Oh? Enlighten me.
CHARLIE: There was this woman, two rows in front of me, in handcuffs, sitting with a cop. He looked at me, knew I was holding. If I didn't take action I'd be caught. So I got up, went to the lav, proceeded to eliminate the evidence سے طرف کی swallowing my stash. And at that exact moment we hit turbulence. I choked. The entire bag of heroin is stuck in my throat. It's, uh, it's over. Everything starts to go dark, I'm slipping into the abyss, and then I see...her.
DESMOND: Her?
CHARLIE: A woman. Blonde, rapturously beautiful, and I know her. We're together. It's like we've always been, and always will be. This feeling, this love, and just as I'm about to be engulfed by...(snaps fingers) I open my eyes, and this sodding idiot is standing there asking me if I'm okay. But I saw it, just for a moment, I saw what it looked like.
DESMOND: Well that's just...poetry, brother. آپ know آپ should, آپ should write a song about that.
CHARLIE: Yeah yeah yeah yeah, I know what you're saying - poor suicidal rock star. But I've seen something real, I've seen the truth.
DESMOND: No, that's not the truth. آپ want to know the real truth, Pace? Right now آپ have a choice - آپ can keep on drinking, یا آپ can come with me. Now before آپ make your choice, realize that if آپ stay here, it will very likely result in the extermination of your musical career.
CHARLIE: And if I go with you?
DESMOND: In twenty minutes, you'll be luxuriating in a five-star hotel, right on the harbor front, and Charles Widmore - one of the most powerful men in this town, will owe آپ a favor.
CHARLIE: Doesn't really seem like a choice.
DESMOND: There's always a choice, brother.
[Desmond is driving with Charlie. Drive Shaft's song, "You All, Everybody" is playing on the radio.]
CHARLIE: That's my band, Drive Shaft, our first single. The beginning of everything great. آپ like it?
DESMOND: Sure, for what it is.
CHARLIE: I feel sorry for you, mate. [Desmond chuckles.] آپ think you're happy. آپ think you've got it all--this, your life. But, آپ don't.
DESMOND: Why, because none of it's real?
CHARLIE: All right, Mr. Hume. How about I offer آپ a choice?
DESMOND: What's that?
CHARLIE: I can either دکھائیں آپ what I'm talking about, یا آپ can get out of the car. [Desmond chuckles.]
DESMOND: Why in God's name would I want to get out of the car?
[Tires screech. Charlie takes hold of the wheel and forces the car out of control, off the dock and into the harbor.]
DESMOND: Aah! Uhh!

[Zoe and two other men lead Desmond through the jungle.]
ZOE: What happened to you?
DESMOND: What do آپ mean?
ZOE: What I mean is, twenty منٹ پہلے آپ were beating the crap out of Widmore with an I.V. stand and now you’re Mr. Cooperative.
DESMOND: A lot can happen in twenty minutes.
ZOE: It sure can. That thing fried your brain.
DESMOND: Did it?
ZOE: Whatever, doesn’t change the fact that you’re gonna...
[Sayid attacks the two other men. He points his gun at Zoe.]
SAYID: [To Zoe] Run.
[Zoe flees.]
SAYID:Desmond, I don’t have time to explain, but these people are extremely dangerous. We need to go, now.
DESMOND: Aye, of course. Lead the way.
[Flash-sideways timeline. Desmond is lying on the ground, waking up.]
PENNY: Hello? آپ okay?
DESMOND: What happened?
PENNY: Well, I shook your hand and then آپ fainted. I must have quite an effect on you.
DESMOND: Aye, آپ must have.
PENNY: Have we met before?
DESMOND: I-I think we'd remembered it, if we had.
PENNY: Yeah. Well, as long as you’re sure you’re all right.
DESMOND: Yeah, I'm fine. Hey, listen, um, would آپ like to go for a coffee?
PENNY: What, now? I'm a sweaty mess.
DESMOND: I just fainted in front of you. I'd say we’re even.
PENNY: There's a coffee دکان on the corner of Sweetzer and Melrose. I'll meet آپ there in an hour.
DESMOND: Absolutely.
PENNY: Okay.
DESMOND: Okay.
[Desmond returns to the limo.]
GEORGE: So, did آپ find what آپ were looking for?
DESMOND: Yes, George, I did. Corner of Melrose and Sweetzer, please.
GEORGE: آپ got it. And if there is anything else I can do for you, Mr. Hume, آپ just name it.
DESMOND: Actually, there is one thing, George. Can آپ get me the manifest from my fight from Sydney, Oceanic 815, just the names of the passengers?
GEORGE: Sure I can. Do آپ mind if I ask آپ what آپ need it for?
DESMOND: I just need to دکھائیں them something.
