2007/2008 Mobisodes 7-8

Mobisode 7: Arzt & Crafts

Jin and Sun are sitting on the beach looking through clothes and speaking in Korean.

Jin points down the beach. "I think they are lovers"

"They’re not," Sun says.

"He looks at her like they are."

"Boone and Shannon are brother and sister."

"How do you know? Do they speak Korean?"

"It was just a guess."

Arzt runs over. "What’s all this about moving from the beaches, huh, going to the caves? Are you guys going, to the caves?"

Sitting nearby with Michael, Hurley says, "They don’t speak English, Dude."

Arzt says to Hurley and Michael, "Oh. How about, are you going?"

"I don’t know what you’re talking about, man," Michael says.

"I’m talking about the caves. Are you going to go to the caves? Jack and that bald guy, and uh, what’s-her-face, they found some caves, and they think that actually we should move from the beaches to the caves."

"So, why shouldn’t we?" Hurley asks.

"Why, shouldn't-- Ok, A, number1, moisture. Caves are abundant with moisture. Moisture breeds bacteria, and attracts insects that would lay eggs in our mouths while we sleep. All right?" Arzt turns to Sun and Jin, slowly yelling, "Hey, hey, hey. I know that you don’t understand me, but if there is a vote to go to the caves, you two, you vote no! Get it? No!"

"Hey, shouting at them is not going to make them understand any more," Michael says.

"Dude," Hurley says, "if Jack says it’s a good idea, maybe we should, like, trust him."

"Why? You tell me. Because he’s a doctor? Is that what qualifies him for leadership here? How do we know he’s not a nut case? I want to tell you something." Arzt leans down and quietly says,"The other day I’m in the jungle, and I’m taking a leak, and Jack runs through the jungle, crying for his Daddy." Arzt stands. "Ok, fine, fine, you morons, you want to go to the caves, good riddance. I’m going to stay right here on the beach with all the people who want to survive."

They hear the monster in the jungle and Arzt looks around and then says, "I’ll uh, I’ll see you guys at the caves."

Mobisode 8: Buried Secrets

Jin is at the shore with a fishing pole. Sun is watching him from the woods. She goes into the jungle. She looks at her California driver’s license and starts to dig a hole to bury it. Michael comes running by yeling, "Vincent! Vincent!" He sees Sun and says, "Oh, hey, I’m sorry. I was looking for Vincent. I didn’t mean to scare you. You ok?"

"Yes, I’m, I’m fine," she says. "I just, I just needed a moment by myself."

"Hey, you sure you’re ok?" Michael looks down and sees the license on the ground. He picks it up.

Sun begins to cry. "I was, this is-"

"No, no, no, you don’t have to explain." He hands her the license.

"I was going to leave him. I was going to leave Jin and start a new life in America. But I changed my mind at the airport because I was afraid."

"Hey, hey, it’s, it’s, it’s ok." He takes her hands. "We’re getting off this island any day now. Things will change."

"No. It’s too late. This place. It’s my punishment. It’s my destiny."

"No. Maybe you should talk to him."

"He’s not the man I fell in love with."

Michael hugs her.

"Maybe he just needs a little time. It’s been hard on all of us. It’s ok. It’ll be ok."

They pull apart and stare at each other. They lean in to kiss, but before they do, Vincent comes up and barks and they back away.

"I must go," Sun says, "I’m sorry." Sun runs off.

Michael watches her leave and then calls Vincent over.
