Dominic Monaghan: Charlie Pace

Greatest Hits

Charlie Pace

Charlie Pace: I want you to give this to Claire for me.
Desmond Hume: What is it?
Charlie Pace: It's the five best moments of my... sorry excuse for a life."My greatest hits"... You know, memories. They're all I've got.

Liam Pace: [in a Helsinki hotel room] Ho ho ho. It's here, baby brother, Christmas is here.
[Referring to the two girls Charlie slept with]
Liam Pace: Oi, are these the birds from row two? Well done, mate! Well, as you have spent another year as the only drug-free rock star in the world, I'm gonna share a little known fact with you. Father Christmas lives just down the street from here.
Charlie Pace: Father Christmas lives in Helsinki?
Liam Pace: Indeed he does. And in case you haven't noticed, baby brother, Finland is the bloody North Pole. Therefore, a very special gift for you this year.
[he begins to take off the "DS" ring]
Charlie Pace: Liam, no. Mum gave you that. You're the first born. It was her father's and his father before that.
Liam Pace: And it's a family heirloom, and that's why we named the band after Dextor bloody Stratton. I know. But, Charlie, let's be honest, we both know I'm a sodding mess. But you, you're different. You're gonna get married, have a family, a baby. I'll be lucky if I hit thirty.
Charlie Pace: Don't say that, Lee.
Liam Pace: The ring has to stay in the family, Charlie. So please, take it. Mum would have wanted it this way. Pass it on to your little one someday. I need to know it's safe.

Charlie Pace: We're gonna be okay, you know.
Claire Littleton: Are we?
Charlie Pace: We're alive on a beautiful island! We'll sleep under the stars and, before you know it, the helicopters will come and take us home.
Claire Littleton: You really think they'll find us?
Charlie Pace: Well, yeah, why wouldn't they?
Claire Littleton: Thanks.
Charlie Pace: I'm Charlie.
Claire Littleton: I'm Claire. Nice to meet you, Charlie.

Desmond Hume: You don't have to do this, Charlie.
Charlie Pace: What?
Desmond Hume: I'll go.
Charlie Pace: No, your flashes...
Desmond Hume: Maybe I keep seeing you die because I'm supposed to take your place.
Charlie Pace: What about your girl, Penny?
Desmond Hume: What about your girl? Besides, I might be luckier than you.
[gives him back his "Greatest Hits" list]
Desmond Hume: Keep your memories to yourself. I'll take it from here.
Charlie Pace: I don't know what to say.
Desmond Hume: Well, you can tell me where the, uh, weight belt is...
[Charlie knocks Desmond out with an oar when he turns around]
Charlie Pace: You and I both know... you're not supposed to take my place, brother.

Charlie Pace: Never disrespect a fellow Mancunian.
Naomi Dorrit: You're from Manchester then?
Charlie Pace: I am. My band got its start at the Night and Day bar on Oldham Street.
Naomi Dorrit: What band?
Charlie Pace: Oh, we're called Drive Shaft.
Naomi Dorrit: Yeah. Yeah, I know you.
Charlie Pace: Well, we had a... moment in the sun.
Naomi Dorrit: No, not that. The crash! You're the dead rock star. They made a big deal out of you when they found the plane. Huge memorial service, new album.
Charlie Pace: There's a new album?
Naomi Dorrit: Yeah. God, it was everywhere. The greatest hits thing. Hey, look on the bright side; you're not really dead, right?

[the band is stuck in the rain with a flat tyre]
Charlie Pace: Oh, bloody hell! Why are we even doing this?
Liam Pace: Chin up, mate. We're headlining.
Charlie Pace: Headlining? We're playing Clitheroe. The arse end of nowhere.
Liam Pace: A gig's a gig. We're building our fan base.
Charlie Pace: Will our fan base pay for a new sodding tyre?
Liam Pace: Only if we show up. So let's just get on with it, shall we?
Charlie Pace: You know what, Liam? You get on with it. I quit.
Liam Pace: You're giving up?
Charlie Pace: There's nothing to give up on! We're broke! The album's not selling. We're a bloody joke!

[Charlie hugs Hurley]
Hugo 'Hurley' Reyes: Dude, it's fine. I don't even want to go on your stupid boat.
Charlie Pace: Catch up with you later. Just remember I love you, man.
Hugo 'Hurley' Reyes: Yeah, whatever, I love you too.

Claire Littleton: Why didn't you tell me you were gonna do this?
Charlie Pace: I didn't want you to worry.
Claire Littleton: Well, it's dangerous, isn't it? Swimming in to some underwater station.
Charlie Pace: It's what needs to be done to get us all rescued. I'll be fine, Claire. But you gotta promise me something; while I'm gone, don't worry about me.

Hugo 'Hurley' Reyes: I heard, I heard what you're doing. I wanna come with. Everyone, they're all going to the radio tower and, I'm sick of trekking and, you know, explosions. I think I can help you guys out. I'm a really good paddler.
Charlie Pace: You can't go, Hurley.
Hugo 'Hurley' Reyes: Why not?
Charlie Pace: Because... you're too big! You won't fit in the boat.
Hugo 'Hurley' Reyes: That's uncool, man.
