The Beginning of the End Quotable Quotes

  • Sawyer wants to wait for Jack's group to come to the beach instead of heading out to find them and Hurley says, "You don't wait with warnings. You warn!"
  • When Jack realizes he doesn't have Naomi's phone, Ben says, "Better call the boat and tell them that she's getting a really big bundle of firewood."
  • Charlie tells Hurley that he doesn't need to freak out like he did at the store and Hurley says, "No need to freak out? I'm trying to buy some jerky and a slushy and suddenly you're standing over by the Ho-Hos. You're dead, what do you expect me to do?"
