Lost has more memorable quotes than any other television show currently on the air. Many funny, some serious, they all remind us just how great the writing and characters on Lost are.
Season 1
1. Sawyer: I am a complex guy, sweetheart.
2. Locke: This is my destiny! Don't tell me what I can't do!
3. Kate: It's just that you... and the tattoos... don't add up. Were you one of those hardcore spinal surgeons or something?
Jack: That's me. Hardcore.
Charlie: If you two are done verbally copulating, we should get a move on.
4. Sawyer: Baby, I am tied to a tree in the jungle of mystery. I just got tortured by a damn spinal surgeon and a genuine Iraqi. Of course I'm serious.
5.Sawyer: A doctor playing golf. Woo, boy howdy! Now I've heard everything. What's next? A cop eating a doughnut?
6. Hurley: So, I had an idea. I'm out here looking for some psycho with Scott and Steve, right. And I'm realizing... who the hell are Scott and Steve?
7. Boone: Red shirt. You ever watch Star Trek?
Locke: No, not really.
Boone: The crew guys that would go down to the planet with the main guys, the captain and the guy with the pointy ears, they always wore red shirts and they always got killed.
Locke: Yeah?
Boone: Yeah.
Locke: Sounds like a piss poor captain.
8. Charlie: Hurley, look, I appreciate the help. You don't have to. I killed Ethan, I can bury him.
Hurley: Yeah, 'til he raises from the dead. Dude, I know how this works. This is going to end with you and me running through the jungle... screaming, crying... he catches me first because I'm heavy and I get cramps.
9. Sun: My husband is many things. But he is not a liar.
Sawyer: You gonna lecture us about lying, Betty? From the look on his face even your old man here didn't know you speak English!
10. Hurley: [to Sayid] She [Rousseau] says "Hey".
11. Hurley: "For the record, my belt HAS dropped a notch. I'm a big guy. It's gonna be a while before you're going to want to give me a piggy back ride."
12. Sawyer [after squashes the tree frog in his hand]: "Add a little ranch and it'll taste just like chicken!"
13. Jack: [on helping Sawyer] ...all I'm gonna get is a snappy one-liner, and, if I'm lucky, a brand-new nickname.
14. Locke: Why would Kate poison Michael?
Hurley: Well, you know, the whole fugitive thing. [Jack gawks at Hurley] He doesn't know? [Jack shakes his head]. Well how am I supposed to keep straight who knows what around here? I mean, Steve didn't even know about the polar bear.
15. Sawyer: [pause] Jack! About a week before we all got on the plane I got to talking to this man in a bar in Sydney. He was American, too. A doctor. I've been on some benders in my time, but this guy he was going for an all time record. It turns out this guy has a son his son's a doctor, too. They had some kind of big time falling out. The guy knew it was his fault even though his son was back in the States thinking the same damn thing.
Jack: [starts to recognize who Sawyer's talking about]
Sawyer: See, kids are like dogs, you knock them around enough they'll think they did something to deserve it. Anyway, there's a pay phone in this bar. And this guy, Christian... tells me he wishes he had the stones to pick up the phone, call his kid, tell him he's sorry, that he's a better doctor than he'll ever be he's proud and he loves him. I had to take off, but something tells me he never got around to making that call. Small world, huh?
16. Hurley: You have some...Arzt...on you.
Season 2
17. Desmond: See ya in another life brotha.
18. Jack: [after Kate persuades a semiconscious Sawyer to swallow medicine] That was good. I, uh, never learned the whole whisper-in-his-ear thing in medical school.
19. Hurley: So... Rose's husband is white. Didn't see that one comin'.
20. Eko: Don't mistake coincidence for fate.
21. Sawyer: [to Locke] Oh, I don't know, Mr. Clean, I probably would have gone around Mt. Vesuvius.
Locke: Why'd you choose that name?
Sawyer: Aint it obvious, all you need is an ear-ring and a mop.
22. Hurley: So what do you think is the story with that Libby chick?
Charlie: Story?
Hurley: She's kind of cute, right? You know, in an I've-been-terrorized-by-the-Others-for-forty-days kind of way?
Charlie: Yeah, there is that.
Hurley: I think I have a chance with her. I mean, it's a classic desert island scenario.
23. "Henry Gale": Course if I was one of them - these people that you seem to think are your enemies - what would I do? Well, there'd be no balloon. So I'd draw a map to a real secluded place, like a cave or some underbrush, good place for a trap. An ambush. And when your friends got there, a bunch of my people would be waiting for 'em. Then they'd use them to trade for me. [jokingly] I guess it's a good thing I'm not one of them huh?
[Jack and Locke stare at Henry]
"Henry Gale": You guys got any milk?
24. Charlie: Any of you guys see a plane last night?
Sawyer: Yeah I saw it Tattoo. I just decided not to tell anyone.
25. Hurley: Did either of you see a guy run through here...in a bathrobe...with a coconut?
Charlie: No... I saw a polar bear on rollerblades with a mango.
26. Bernard: [To Eko] I liked you better when you just hit people with your stick!
Charlie: (Looking at Eko after Bernard left) I like you just the way you are.
27. Sawyer: You and Freckles. Before you found him, you all were gone all night.
Jack: We were caught in a net.
Sawyer: What the hell is that supposed to mean?
Jack: It means we got caught in a net.
Sawyer: Is that what they're calling it these days?
28. Sayid: (about the "foot") I do not know what is more disquieting---the fact that the rest of the statue is missing, or that it has four toes.
29. Locke: [to Eko] I was wrong.
Season 3
30. Ben: [Sees that Juliet holding the book, Carrie] So I guess I'm out of the book club.
31. Charlie: You're not taking drugs are you, John? I only ask because of the strict zero tolerance policy you've enacted, and I wouldn't want you to have to start punching yourself in the face.
32. Sawyer: What, don't you read? It's from Of Mice and Men. You'd like it. Puppies get killed.
33. Ben: Two days after I found out that I had a fatal tumor on my spine, a spinal surgeon fell out of the sky. If that's not proof of God I don't know what is.
34. Desmond: When I saw the lightning hit the roof you were electrocuted. And when you heard Claire was in the water you -- you drowned trying to save her. I dove in myself so you never went in. I've tried, brother. I've tried twice to save you, but the universe has a way of course correcting and -- and I can't stop it forever. I'm sorry. I'm sorry because no matter what I try to do you're going to die, Charlie. .
35. Sawyer: What's your problem, Jumbotron?
Hurley: Shut up... Red... Neck... Man!
Sawyer: Touché.
36. Locke: The Man from Tallahassee? What is that some kind of code?
Ben: No John, unfortunately we don't have a code for "there is a man in my closet holding a gun to my daughter's head". Although we obviously should.
37. Locke: Where do you get electricity?
Ben: We have two big hamsters running around in this giant wheel in our secret underground lair.
38. Ben: [Sighs] Alex….this is your Mother.
Rousseau: [to Alex] Will you help me tie him up?
Season 4
39. Kate: Kinda sucks, huh?
Jack: What's that?
Kate: Being told not to come along. (Jack chuckles) Now you know what it feels like to be me.
Jack: Does that mean I should wait twenty minutes and go anyway?
40. Miles: Where the hell did they go, Tubby?
Hurley: Oh, awesome, the ship sent us another Sawyer.
41. Jack: You people had therapists?
Juliet: It's very stressful being an Other, Jack.
42. Ben: But you'll understand soon enough that there are consequences to being chosen. Because destiny, John, is a fickle bitch.
43. Sawyer: [Talking about John and Jack] What the hell they talking about in there anyway?
Hurley: I don’t know. Leader stuff?
44. Locke: Is he talking about what I think he was talking about?
Ben: If you mean time traveling bunnies, then yes
45. Locke: Ben, what did you do? You just killed everybody on that boat.
Ben: So?

Ben: "My mother taught me."
56. Lapidus: "We aren't going to Guam, are we?"
57. Sawyer [to Jack]: "You just reacted and a lot of people ended up dead. So I'm going to go back to reading a book and thinking".
58. Sawyer [to Kate]: "Juliet said that no matter what he's going to grow up to be, its wrong to let a kid die. So I'm doing this (saving Ben) for her".
59. Locke [to Ben]: Welcome back to the land of the living.
60. Miles [to Hurley]: Ask me some more questions about time travel.
61. Miles [after Radzinsky pulled a gun on him]: "I'm in the circle of trust"
62. Hurley [to Miles after Miles tells him that dead people don't actually talk]: Hurley replies: "Your just jealous that my power is better than yours".
