The Economist Quotable Quotes

Look for these quotes in The Economist Full Recap.
  • Miles to Frank: "In case you zoned out while you were tweezing your goatee, one of these yahoos took Charlotte prisoner."
  • Sawyer wants to know who Ben's spy is on the boat and Sawyer comes up with a plan: "Well, here's an idea. Why don't we take a gun and point it at his big toe and send that little piggy to market? And if he still doesn't want to tell us, we'll move on to the roast beef."
  • Locke's answer to Sawyer's above question: "Because then we'll have to carry him."
  • Miles keeps asking for his gun back and when Kate gets a gun he says: "Oh yeah, she gets a gun."
  • Sayid wants to know why Miles is not affected by Naomi's death and Miles says: "Sure I'm affected, she was hot and I dug her accent."
  • Sayid says Hurley doesn't have to be afraid of him, but Hurley says: "Yeah. I saw you snap that guy's neck with that break dancing thing you do with your legs. Think I'll hang back."
