Ben Linus
- Ben Linus: I want you to compile a list of names... every person on your boat. When I call again, you'll give me that list. Then you will disable the radio room you're sitting in. When the crew is disoriented by their lack of communication, you'll take out the engines, too. That way, the boat can never get to this island, and your friends will be safe. Will you do that for me, Michael?
- Michael Dawson: Yeah.
- Ben Linus: Then consider yourself one of the good guys.
- Ben Linus: My spy on the freighter is Michael.
- James 'Sawyer' Ford: I'm sorry. You mean the same guy that killed two women in cold blood to set this little bastard free and then sold all of us out so he could get off the island? That Michael?
- John Locke: Yes, James. That Michael.
- Michael Dawson: Walt?
- Ben Linus: I'm so sorry, Michael, but he's still in New York. So I'm afraid you're stuck with me.
- [pause]
- Ben Linus: Michael? Are you still there?
- Michael Dawson: You put me on this boat, talked me into blowing it up, and when I push the damn button, a flag pops up.
- Ben Linus: You actually activated the bomb?
- Michael Dawson: [shouts] It's not a bomb! It's a... It's a joke!
