Chapter VII: Are We Getting Off This Island (Part II)

In the "previously on Lost" scenes, note that the scenes that have occurred in flashbacks or flash-forwards (in previous chapters) are written in italics..only in the "previously on Lost" stuff.

Previously on Lost...

Sayid: Hurry up. We must not be late. Soon enough, it'll get dark and we'll have to find out own way back to the beach at night.

Sawyer: Who made you King of the Jungle, Mohammad?

Jack: Sayid's right. Besides, we're not aware of what we might find out there.

Sayid: Jack, Jack... We're here.

(Kate, Jin, Sawyer, Jack and Sayid now look in front of them. The chopper has crashed on a tree)

Sun: I love that song.

Claire: My Mother used to sing it to me every night before I go to sleep.

Sun: And your father?

Claire: He wasn't around much. In fact, it was only a couple of months before we got on the place to L.A. that I found out his real name.

Sun: Really? (joins her, sitting down) Did you like him…you know, as a father?

Claire: He paid for some of my medical…stuff. My mom had gotten into a car accident and the nurses from the hospital told us someone took care of all the medical bills. It was him. Christian Shepard.

Sun: I'm sure, somewhere across the world now, he's trying to find you, Claire.

Rose: The island. The island...

Bernard: What?

Rose: We need to go back... We need to go back!

Bernard: Back where?!

Rose: (screaming) We need to go back there! We need to fall again! We have to go back there! ... Maybe we're supposed to be on in this island.

Bernard: You signed them?

Rose: We are no longer married, Bernard.

Claire: I have somewhere I need to be in. I won't be long.

Aaron: Where is this place?

Claire: It's a funeral, Aaron... Aaron, let's not talk about uncle Charlie anymore, ok?

Aaron: Is it because we're not supposed to talk about dead people?

Sharon: Where are you taking me?

Locke: I told you, this island is no regular island.

Police Officer 2: Are you Katherine Austen or not?

Kate: No, no! No! My name is Anna Laughlin. Here's my ID.

Sawyer: You're tough. I like that in women.

Kate: Give me back my letter!

Kate: I hope you don't take this in any insulting way possible, is it possible I ask for a specific doctor to get treated?

Dr. Hall: Oh, sure. A lot of patients do that, and I have no problem with it at all. Who would you like to treat you?

Kate: Dr. Shepard.

Dr. Hall: Sure. (on his way out) Which Dr. Shepard?

Kate: Ex…cuse me?

Dr. Hall: We have two Dr. Shepard here. Do you want the father Dr. Shepard or his son?

Kate (to Jack after seeing her and Sawyer together): I'm so sorry. (She cries)

Jack (emotionless): Don't be. (walks away)

Jack: (seeing Kate in the hospital room) Once a fugitive always a fugitive. Have you uh--are you coming to the funeral?

Kate: I think so.

Jack: What about James? Is he coming?

Sawyer: I can see you still haven't opened the letter.

Kate (in tears): I couldn't, James. I couldn't.

Sawyer: Don't you call me that! Just tell me when you can open it, Kate, and then we can talk...

Sayid: I'm looking for a patient.

Lucy: Name?

Sayid: Sayid Jarrah.

Lucy: (smiling) I meant the patient's name, Mr. Jarrah, not yours.

Sayid: Oh, right. Forgot you know my name.

Lucy: Who doesn't anymore?

Raoul: I want you to stay.

Sharon: But I can't. It's eleven o'clock--

Raoul: Marry me.

Boone: I asked you where were you, Shannon! You know how long I've been concerned about you?

Shannon: I'm a big girl, Boone. I don't need you to worry about me.

Boone: Oh, you so aren't a big girl. Here's your ticket. (HANDS HER A TICKET) We're going to L.A. first thing tomorrow morning. Be ready at five. (WALKS AWAY)

(Zoom on Shannon again who opens the ticket (which has the logo OCEANIC on it) and reads the flight number that obviously says Flight 815 from Sydney to Los Angeles)

Currently on Lost...

1. Sydney Streets. Flash-forward scene begins...
Claire walks down the streets in daylight and she's crossing the crowded streets (alone).

(Claire gets into a building, smiles to a little kid standing at the door and climbs into an elevator)

(Inside the elevator, a man-and-wife look at her, smile and take her autograph, very excited about it. Then they take a picture of each other with Claire)

(Claire exits the elevator and goes into a long hallway just when someone is leaving an apartment, back to Claire and taking out a coffeetable to the halls)

Claire: Umm, excuse me? Could you be a little more dis-regarding to other people?

Man: Excuse me?

(He turns around to face Claire and yes--it is CHARLIE)

Claire: (shocked) Oh...

Charlie: (sighs) Hi, Claire.

Claire: Never mind. (starts to go back from where she came)

Charlie: Claire, Claire, hold on! (follows her and stops her from getting into an elevator) Claire...

Claire: Charlie, what do you want? I've told you I do not want to see you anymore.

Charlie: We live in the same city, of course we're gonna bump into each other, Claire. And what's happened to you?

Claire: Nothing. (she sniffs and shrugs)

Charlie: How's Aaron?

Claire: Good.

Charlie: Does he miss me?

(Pause)

Claire: I told him you're dead.

2. Beach (day time).
Claire sits, rocking Aaron to sleep as Sun approaches her and knees down to talk to her.

Claire: How're you doing?

Sun: Why do you ask?

Claire: You're worried about Jin.

Sun: I'm worried about what they'll find.

Claire: Sun, it's gonna be fine.

Sun: I-I have a hunch. It-it's not a good feeling. With the-with the chopper and everything, I feel like it's a trap.

Claire: A trap? A trap set up by whom?

Sun: The Others, maybe?

Claire: Sun...

Sun: Claire, I'm worried.

3. Beach--DAY.
Charlie approaches Bernard who was trying to catch fish.

Charlie: I hear the fish around here is poisonous. Isn't that how one of us got poisoned?

Bernard: As long as it's food, I think it's okay.

Charlie: So, that "Help Up" sign seem to be pretty see-able.

Bernard: Hopefully, someone from another world will see it and come save us.

Charlie: Uh-huh.

Bernard (stops): Charlie, why are you here?

Charlie: Just starting up conversation.

Bernard: If you can't notice, I'm extremely busy. (walks away)

Charlie: What have I done to you, man? Why can't we be friends?

(Bernard stops and turns around to face Charlie)

Bernard: I'm not here to make friends. (walks away)

4. An Apartment (night time). Flash-forward scene begins...
Charlie sits on a black leather couch, watching TV, eating Dorito chips, drinking beer. He looks horrible and terrible and he has a beard.

(A man enters)

Charlie: You're home early. How was therapy?

Unkown Man: It was not good. (It is revealed, when the "man" finally gets into the light, that he is BERNARD) We're getting a divorce instead.

Charlie: Wow. A divorce, huh? And how do you feel about that?

Bernard: I don't have the right to feel anything at all. She signed the papers, Charlie.

Charlie: Alright, and how does she feel about that?

Bernard: Charlie, the tumor's back alright? Rose has cancer again. The nurse told me even though she said Rose mentioned she shouldn't.

Charlie: I am not surprised.

Bernard: Excuse me?

Charlie: Oh, c'mon, Bernard. Don't tell me you didn't know that was gonna happen.

Bernard: What are you talking about?

Charlie: When we were there, we couldn't wait to leave. Now that we're not there anymore, why do we want to go back?

Bernard: I do not want to go back.

Charlie: Because you're the only one not affected by the damn consequences that are affecting all of us--now that we left. Rose's tumor is back, Kate's being followed by the federal agents, Jack's having a sucking romantic life, Sawyer is...well, being Sawyer.

Bernard: Going back would be a terrible mistake, Charlie.

Charlie: No. Staying here, arms crossed, would be a terrible mistake.

Bernard: Talking to you is. (walks out of the room into another)

Charlie: Are you going to the funeral tomorrow?

(Bernard returns)

Bernard: Don't question my motives. (he leaves again)

5. Rose's Hospital Room (night time).
Rose sleeps still on her bed as Kate enters in secrecy.

Rose: (waking up, smiles upong seeing Kate) Hi, Anna.

Kate: (smiles) You can call me Kate when there's no one else arond.

Rose: Cameras are around.

Kate: Right. How're you doing, Rose?

Rose: (sighs) Oh, I'm doing just fine.

Kate: How's the tumor?

Rose: (sighs again) I don't know.

Kate: Are you gonna do some chemotherapy?

Rose: No.

Kate: But, Rose, you'll die sooner than you think if you don't--

Rose: I'm not afraid of dying.

Kate: Right... How's Bernard doing?

Rose: I don't know, why don't you ask him?

Kate: What do you mean?

Rose: Bernard and I are over, Kate.

Kate: Over? Over as in...

Rose: It's over, Kate.

Kate: I'm sorry to hear that. When are you getting out of here?

Rose: Never.

Kate: Ohh.

Rose: Just possibly tomorrow, y'know, for the funeral.

Kate: Oh, you're going.

Rose: (smiles) I couldn't miss it for the world.

Kate: I'm looking forward to seeing you there, then.

Rose: Is James going, Kate?

(Pause)

Kate: Why--(chuckles) Why do you ask me?

Rose: I just assumed you would know.

(Kate stands still and smiles)

6. Jungle (daytime). Flash-forward scene ends...
Kate, Jin, Jack, Sawyer and Sayid are staring up at the chopper that has crashed into the tree a few feet away from them.

Kate: How do we get up there?

Sayid: One of us'll have to climb up that tree.

Sawyer: Well, I'm putting my foot down to that, Asia. (steps back)

Jack: I'll go, I'll climb the tree.

Kate: Wait, wait, Jack, Jack. Are you sure?

Jack: Kate, I said I'll climb the tree.

Kate: Ok, just--just be careful alright?

(Jack puts his bag down and goes up for that tree)

Kate: Steady, steady...

Sawyer: What are you, his Nanny?

Kate: Shut up, Sawyer.

(Sawyer shrugs and everyone else watches as Jack climbs up the tree to reach the chopper)

Jack: I'm there, I'm there.

(Jack tries hard to open the door to the helicopter)

Jack: It's jammed.

Sayid: You need some help?

Jack: No, I got it.

(Jack keeps trying to open the door and he finally succeeds. He enters the chopper and it almost falls)

Kate: Whoa.

Sawyer: That can't be good.

Jack: (to the pilot) Who...who are you? Why are you here?

Pilot: You, uh, you from...you from...are you from Oceanic 8-1 ... Are you from Oceanic flight 815?

Jack: Yes. Yes.

Pilot: (sighs) Oh, good.

Jack: Who are you? Why are you here?

Pilot: (after a pause) I'm here to take you all home, buddy.

(Jack smiles)
