Elinor Goodspeed/Scenes

## Season 3

### **3x07**

Alex: “Why are you helping us? You know perfectly well that it’s all a lie. Aldo is gonna be furious.”

Elinor: “Look, I’m not really on your side here. But what your father does, and what Aldo supports... It’s something I can’t understand the reasonableness of. So I’d appreciate it if you would keep this whole situation a secret.”

### **3x21**

[The group look to see Karl and Elinor arriving at the shore by canoe. Sayid tackles Karl down.]

Sawyer: “Get off him, dammit, it’s okay. [Notices Eli and approaches her, visibly aggressive] What the hell are you doing here?!”

Elinor: “Easy, cowboy. I’m here to save the day.”

Sayid: “What do you mean it’s okay? He’s one of them, and so is she!”

Sawyer: “I know, I know, it’s okay. He was in the cage next to me. I know this guy... And this girl, too. What are you two doing here?”

Elinor: “Delivering a message. They’re coming. Our people.”

Sawyer: “Sorry you came all this way for nothing, but we already know.”

Elinor: “You do? [Looks at Juliet] Then why are you still here?”

Sawyer: “Because when your people show up here tomorrow night, we’re gonna be ready for ‘em.”

Karl: “Tomorrow? No. No, they’re coming tonight. They’re coming right now!”

Jack: [To Kate] “You trust him?”

[Kate shrugs]

Karl: “You don’t trust me? What about her! [He points at Juliet.] She’s a spy. She’s supposed to mark the tents of the pregnant women with white rocks so they can take them.”

Elinor: “For God’s sake, Karl. Even an idiot understands they know. Who else would’ve told them about the plan?”

Juliet: “Hey. Thanks for coming.”

Elinor: “I’m not the one to take the credit. Alex warned us. I just joined in so that Karl wouldn’t accidentally roll over in the canoe.”

Juliet: [Smiling softly] “Well, thanks anyway. [Pauses] They buried him, you know? Ethan. I just thought you’d like to visit him.”

Elinor: “Thank you…”

Juliet: “They don’t trust you. Because of what you told them about Charlie. You should be…”

Elinor: [Interrupting] “I don’t care what they think. I won’t stay with them.”

Juliet: “Will you come home then?’”

Elinor: “No. I want to leave. I’ve always wanted to. I think this is the right time. And I absolutely don’t need their trust to do that.”

### **3x22**

[Watches Kate intently as she talks to Jack.]

Karl: “Why the interest?”

Elinor: “Something about her seems vaguely familiar. I don’t fully understand what, but there’s something I’m missing…”

Karl: “Well, you’ve seen her quite a few times. Honestly, not even surprised you remembered the face.”

Elinor: “No, it’s something else. [Sighs heavily and puts a backpack on her shoulder] Or it’s just me being a psycho again. I don’t know anymore. This island is driving me insane.”

[After Ben and Jack leave, Eli approaches Alex, both visibly worried.]

Elinor: “What are you two doing here?”

Alex: “He just let me come. He knew that you and Karl were here. He knew all along.”

Elinor: “I don’t understand. If he knew we were here, he would’ve known that we would warn them. So why did he even send people to the beach?”

Alex: “I don’t know. And I don’t think I want to.”

Elinor: [Looking back at the survivors] “Gotta be honest, it all looks too suspicious. Thwarted plan, Ben coming here... Why can’t he just leave everyone alone?”

Alex: “Well, that’s Ben we’re talking about. He always has an insidious plan to ruin the lives of people around him.”

## Season 4

### **4x01**

Alex: “Oh God. Eli, Aldo was there.”

Elinor: “What?”

Alex: “Aldo. Ben sent him to the camp with Ryan.”

[Shocked Eli takes off and rushes to Jack]

Elinor: “Jack! Jack. You talked to your people on the beach. There was someone left from... the Others? Is there anyone left alive?”

Jack: “No. [Shakes his head] I’m more than sure there’s no one left. Why?”

[Eli staggers, looking at Ben with a mixture of horror and anger in her eyes.]

Jack: “What’s the matter?”

Elinor: “I’ll kill him. I swear to God, I’ll kill this bastard with my own bare hands.”

Jack: “Well, I don’t know the reason, but given the current situation, you’re definitely not the first to say this.”

[The survivors from the radio tower group join the group from the beach. Eli runs up to Juliet, hugging her.]

Elinor: “You okay? What happened there?”

Juliet: “Long story short, Charlie did his job, but he didn’t get out of the station.”

Elinor: [Glances back at Claire briefly and sighs heavily] “And what about the others?”

Juliet: “They’re dead.”

Elinor: “All of them?”

Juliet: “All of them. [Looks around, noticing the absence of some people] Did we miss something?”

Elinor: “Frankly speaking, a lot…”

[The survivors choose sides. Some of them leave with Locke. Ben, Alex and Karl follow as well.]

Juliet: [In a muffled voice] “Are you going with them?”

Elinor: “You trust Jack, and he trusts these people. If anything, I’m with you guys.”

Sayid: “You’re being too overprotective. She doesn’t look like someone who needs it.”

Juliet: “You don’t know her very well. Maybe she’s trying to seem more mature than she is, but in fact, Eli is just a kid. And I feel responsible for her.”

Sayid: “Why? The Others’ cohesion?”

Juliet: [Sighs heavily as she closes her backpack] “Ethan was my friend.”

Sayid: “And how is it about him?”

Juliet: [Looks up] “Eli is his sister. Cohesion or not, I *have to* take care of her.”

Elinor: “Juliet? [They both turn around to see Elinor] I need to talk to you.”

Juliet: “Sure. We have a long way to go. Plenty of time to discuss everything.”

### **4x02**

[Eli talks to Juliet while she tends Frank’s wound.]

Elinor: “They’ve got a damn helicopter here, Jul. We can leave right now. I just... I still can’t believe it.”

Juliet: “It’s all right. [Chuckles] I understand. You probably want to get out of here more than I do.”

Elinor: [Laughs] “Well, maybe. I don’t know. Suddenly everything became so real.”

Frank: “So, ugh... What are your names again?”

Elinor: “Oh, I’m Elinor. And that’s Juliet.”

Frank: “Elinor and Juliet... No surnames?”

[Eli pauses, looking at Juliet apprehensively.]

Juliet: “Juliet Burke.”

Frank: “Juliet Burke... You two weren’t on that plane, were you?”

[Juliet and Eli exchange wary glances.]

Frank: “Miles! These are Elinor and Juliet. They weren’t on the plane.”

Miles: “What? You sure?”

Frank: “You know how many times I studied that damn manifest? Believe me, they’re natives.”

Miles: [Approaching the group] “Really... where is he?!”

Elinor: “Wh- What’s going on, where’s who?”

Miles: “You wanna know why we're here? I’ll tell you why we’re here! [Reveals a photo] We’re here for Benjamin Linus. Now where is he?”

Sayid: “So you were brought here just like Juliet?”

Elinor: “Actually, I was born here.”

Sayid: “Were your parents the Others?”

Elinor: “No, they were... It’s more complicated than it seems. They were in the Dharma Initiative. Died when I was just a baby. Mom’s sister took us in.”

Sayid: “You and Ethan? [Eli looks at him in surprise] Juliet told me.”

Elinor: “He was ten, I was two. And she was one of the Others. We grew up among them, knowing no other life. Ethan was fine, and I was always so desperate to leave this place. I can’t even count the attempts I’ve made. And now that there’s a real chance to do it... I’m just scared of missing it.”

Sayid: “Hey, we’re getting off the Island. Each of us. I promise.”

### **4x09**

[The group gathered around Daniel, listening to the message from the ship.]

Juliet: [In a whisper] “Do you still remember what your brother taught you?”

Elinor: “Hardly. I’m taking apart certain parts, but in whole... Morse code has never been my strong suit. So I’m relying on Bernard here.”

[Juliet takes Eli away from the survivors, hiding in one of the tents.]

Juliet: “You need to calm down.”

Elinor: “Calm down?! Didn’t you see what I saw? We have a dead man washed ashore with his throat cut, and the message from the ship claims that he’s fine. This psychopathic scientist doesn't explain anything to us at all and lies through the word. They directly stated that they aren’t going to rescue us. How can I stay calm?”

Juliet: “We all want to get out of here, Eli. But we need to act rationally, you understand? Tantrums won’t help. [She puts her hands on the girl’s shoulders] Listen. Listen to me. [She lifts Elinor’s head by the chin] Eli? I need you to keep your cool, okay? You and I, we know this island better than others, and if anything happens, we’ll need to act decisively. In the meantime, we just need to keep these two under control. We can handle it. Trust me.”

### **4x10**

Juliet: “Do you remember where the medical station is or don’t you?”

Sun: “Yes, I remember.”

Juliet: “These are the instruments that I need you to bring back. You’ll find them in the drawers in the exam room.”

Sun: “‘Clamps’? ‘Sutures’? Juliet, I don’t know what these look like.”

Elinor: [Stepping in] “I do. I’ve watched what my brother did for years. Juliet, let me help. Besides, I’ll get to the station much faster and-”

Juliet: “No, I need you here. I’ll need an assistant with some significant medical experience.”

Elinor: [Frowns] “You won’t start until you get all the necessary equipment anyway.”

Juliet: “I need you to stay here. It’s not the topic for discussion.”

### **4x12**

Faraday: “All right, first group in the raft. We can fit six.”

Juliet: “Okay, okay, hold on. Sun is pregnant. You should go first. [Turns to Eli] You should go, too.”

Elinor: “What? I’m not coming without you.”

Juliet: “I’m not coming until everyone leaves the island. And you should be there, at least to look after Sun. If anything suddenly goes wrong, I need to make sure that she gets home. Look. [She puts her arms around Eli, hugging her tightly] I just want you to get out of here as soon as possible. I know how important this is to you, and I’m sure Ethan would want you to be safe. Do it for him. And I’ll be fine. [Pulls back a little, cupping Eli’s face with one hand and smiling] We almost did it. Now, go. And take care of yourself.”

Elinor: “You too. I’ll meet you on the freighter.”

Juliet: “Of course.”

### **4x13**

Elinor: “What do you mean they have lots of C4 here?!”

Sun: “I don’t know. Jin, Desmond and Michael are trying to do something, but I don’t know how much it can help.”

Elinor: “Great. Yeah, just great. We got off the island, straight to the powder keg that’s about to explode. [Looks at Sun, who’s starting to get noticeably nervous] I’m sorry. Oh God, I’m so sorry. Don’t listen to me. You shouldn’t worry, it’s bad for the baby. Everything will be fine. I’m sure they will come up with something. They should. [She wraps her arms around her shoulders, looking towards the Island] And if not, we always have a brilliant scientist in stock, huh?

### **4x14**

[A loud buzzing noise is heard. Suddenly, everything turns white. When it clears, a ripple in the ocean reveals where the Island used to be.]

Lapidus: “Where’s the island? Where’s the island?! Where the hell’s the island?!”

Hurley: “It’s gone.”

Elinor: [Leaning forward] “What? What do you mean it’s gone?!”

Lapidus: “Where the hell am I gonna land this thing?!”

Jack: “There’s another smaller island close by they took us to!”

Lapidus: “I got news for ya, Doc. There’s nothing but water in every direction!”

[Helicopter engine sputtering. Alarm beeping. Wind blowing loudly, rotors slowing down.]

Lapidus: “Doesn’t matter now. That’s it, people! We’re out of fuel! Get your life vests on! We’re going in! Brace yourselves!”

[Sayid releases the life raft into the ocean. The chopper crashes into the sea and flips over.]

[Everyone is sitting on a life raft. Desmond comes to his senses after CPR, Elinor presses her hand to the bleeding wound on her forehead.]

Jack: [whispering] “It’s okay. It’s okay. We’re alive.”

Elinor: “Yeah... But what’s the point if we’re alone in the middle of the ocean?”

Jack: “We’ll figure it out. [He briefly examines Eli’s wound and sits down next to her, taking a deep breath] We will…”

[The future Oceanic Six is preparing to leave Penny’s boat on a raft.]

Jack: “Well... It’s been a pleasure, Frank. I hope we never see each other again.”

Lapidus: [Chuckles] “Roger that, Doc.”

Jack: [Turns to Eli] “You sure you don’t wanna join?”

Elinor: “I’m flattered by your concern, Jack. Really. But my presence will only raise more questions. Don’t forget that I wasn’t on the plane. And on the mainland, for that matter. But Penny is gonna help me. Everything will be fine.”

Jack: “Well, then... Thank you, for everything.”

Elinor: [Smiles softly] “You too. Please take care.”

## Season 5

### **5x02**

Jack: “Sorry you got dragged into this, but we need to know that you’re with us.”

Lapidus: “Whatever you guys decide, I’ll just roll with.”

Jack: “Eli?”

Elinor: “Look, guys. I don’t even exist for the outside world, okay? So I’ll have to hide a lot anyway. And... One less lie, one more lie, it doesn’t really change anything.”

### **5x06**

Elinor: “Excuse me? Uh, your pilot, Frank Lapidus, and I have known each other for a very long time. I’d appreciate it if you could arrange a short conversation for us.”

Flight Attendant: “Of course. We have already called the pilot at the request of another passenger, so he will be here soon. Please take your seat while you’re waiting.”

Elinor: “Sure.”

Jack: “Eli? What are you doing here?”

Elinor: “Jack? I’m… I’m on my way to visit a friend. He’s currently hanging out in Guam, doing some charity work. How come you're… [Noticing a familiar face among the passengers] Wait. What… What Sayid is doing here? And Kate?”

Jack: “Well, uh…”

[Lapidus interrupts them coming out of the cockpit]

Lapidus: “Well, hello, Doc. Small world. And Eli?”

Elinor: “Hey, Frank.”

Jack: “What are you doing here?”

Lapidus: “Well, I picked this gig up about eight months ago. I fly this route all the time. Sometimes I take the big birds into New [Noticing the group in first class]... Delhi. Is... That Sayid? And Hurley. Wait a second. We’re not going to Guam, are we?”

**UNDER CONSTRUCTION/CURRENTLY IRRELEVANT INFORMATION (UP TO SEASON SIX)**

### **5x09**

Elinor: “Sun? Oh god. Don’t... Don’t move that fast, okay. Frank! Give me some help here.”

Lapidus: “Oh, damn. You two all right?”

Sun: “What happened?!”

Lapidus: [Grunts] “I don’t know.”

Elinor: “Wait... [Holding her palm pressed against the bleeding wound on her forehead] Where’s Jack?”

Lapidus: “And Kate and Hurley... [Looking around the cabin] Where’d they go?”

Ben: “They’re gone.”

Lapidus: “Gone? Gone where?”

Ben: [Shaking his head faintly] “How would I know?”

[Passing through the jungle]

Elinor: “Told you they’ll be here. Heading to the main Island, huh?”

Ben: “Yes. And I don’t understand why *you*’re staying.”

Elinor: “Sun… You don’t think you can trust him, do you?”

Ben: “Excuse me, weren’t you one of my people?”

Sun: “I have to trust him.”

Lapidus: “Sun. I want you to think about this, okay? This guy is dangerous. Sun, that boat I came here on... It was filled with commandos whose only mission was to get him.”

Ben: “And how’d that work out for everyone?”

Lapidus: “Don’t do it.”

Sun: “Why don’t you come with us?”

Lapidus: “I can’t. I got a group of people I gotta look after.”

Ben: “That’s right, Frank. A captain’s first responsibility is to his passengers. [Sun and Elinor exchange worried glances] But I have people I have to take care of, too. There’s a small dock about a half mile due south across the water. [Eli nods at the oar in the boat] It leads directly to a town where I used to live. There are resources there. So, if anyone can help you and the rest of the plane get out of here safely, it…”

[Sun hits Ben over the back of the head with an oar. She grunts. He falls to the floor unconscious.]

Elinor: “Nice hit.”

Lapidus: “I thought you trusted this guy.”

Sun: “I lied.”

[Eli looks around the Barracks, which is very run down]

Lapidus: “Which house was yours?”

Elinor: “This one. I lived there with my brother and our aunt. Those were great days. You know, I’ve tried so hard to get away from here, my whole life. And now, looking at this desolation, I just... I can’t understand how it all came to this.”

Lapidus: “I’m sorry.”

Elinor: “Well, we get what we deserve, right?”

### **5x12**

Sun: “What you’re saying, it’s... impossible.”

Elinor: “That’s right. I’ve lived here all my life, and I’ve never seen the Island bring someone back from the dead. No matter how good the person was.”

Locke: “But here I am. I don’t know how, I don’t know why, but I’m sure there’s a very good reason for it.”

Lapidus: “As long as the dead guy says there’s a reason, well, then I guess everything’s gonna be just peachy. And forget about the fact that the rest of your people are supposedly 30 years ago... Now the only ones who are here to help us are a murderer and a guy who can’t seem to remember how the hell he got out of a coffin.”

Elinor: “Frank…”

Lapidus: “Please, let’s just go back to the plane, see if I can fix the radio, and maybe we can get some help.”

Locke: “If you leave with him, you’ll never find your husband again. I’m all the help you need.”

Sun: “Are you saying you know how to find them? How to find Jin?”

Locke: “I have some ideas.”

Lapidus: “I’m sorry to say, but I’m leaving with or without you.”

Sun: “If there’s any chance of finding my husband, then I have to stay.”

Lapidus: “Eli?”

Elinor: “Frank, I... I’d love to leave this place as soon as possible, trust me. But I can’t leave her here alone. Not with him.” [Nods at Ben]

Lapidus: “All right. Well, for God sake, watch your backs.”

Sun: “Jack must have lied.”

Elinor: “About Locke being dead?”

Sun: “I don’t know why he would, but that’s the only explanation.”

Ben: “Jack didn’t lie. John was dead.”

Sun: “Just because he was in a coffin doesn’t mean that he couldn’t have faked his dea…”

Ben: [Forcefully] “Trust me. I’m sure.”

Elinor: “You were the one who killed Locke, weren’t you? Yeah... I’ve lived with you long enough to understand that you’re quite capable of such a thing. That’s why he’s so sure, Sun.”

Sun: “So you knew this would happen to Locke if we brought him back here?”

Ben: “Sun, I had no idea it would happen. I’ve seen this Island do miraculous things. I’ve seen it heal the sick, but never once has it done anything like this. Dead is dead. You don’t get to come back from that, not even here. So the fact that John Locke is walking around this Island... scares the living hell out of me.”

Ben: “How is it that you know where you’re going?”

Locke: “I just know.”

Ben: “I mean, how does that work, exactly?”

Locke: “How does what work?”

Ben: “The knowing. I mean, did it come upon you gradually, or did you wake up one morning suddenly understanding the mysteries of the universe?”

Elinor: “Oh, he certainly doesn’t like it. Do you, Ben?”

Ben: “What do you mean?”

[They all stop]

Elinor: “Not being in charge. Not knowing what’s going on and what you are doing. And why are you doing it. Just blindly following someone.”

Ben: “No. I don’t like it at all.”

Locke: “Well, now you know what it was like to be me.”

### **5x15**

Sun: “Why did Locke say these were his people? I thought they were yours.”

Elinor: “Not anymore, Sun. Our fearless leader has left the Island way too often.”

Ben: “And when I did it the last time, John stepped in. He’s the leader now.”

Elinor: “Well, it almost feels weird.”

Ben: “I haven’t noticed you being a supporter of me as a leader, Eli.”

Elinor: “Don’t flatter yourself. It’s more about... John. Something about him is completely different.”

Elinor: “He wants to see Jacob. Am I the only one who thinks this is all one huge mistake?”

Richard: “No, you’re not. I’m starting to think John Locke is gonna be trouble.”

Ben: “Why do you think I tried to kill him?”

## Season 6

### **6x01**

[Watching Locke’s body on the sand]

Elinor: “How can it be John Locke if he’s with Jacob right now?”

Lapidus: “You tell me. You’re the one who’s been here longer than us.”

Elinor: “Yes, and as I’ve said before, and I’ll say it again, Frank, I’ve never seen anything so... odd. Return from the dead? I could believe that. Hardly, but I could. And this thing... I don’t think there’s an explanation for *that*.”

Lapidus: “Well, I guess you can always ask the guy who brought you here.”

### **6x02**

[Flare fired from temple is visible in sky - Richard sitting on the beach notices it]

Lapidus: “What the hell is that?”

Elinor: “Richard? It’s from the Temple, isn’t it?”

[Richard looks scared, he doesn’t say a word]

Lapidus: “Temple? What Temple?”

Elinor: [Mutters] “Trust me, you don’t wanna know.”

[Rifles are cocked and pointed at Locke as people see him and Ben walking toward them]

Richard: “Don’t shoot him! Don’t shoot him!”

Lapidus: “I’m seein’ it - But I’m still not believin’ it.”

[Locke walks up to Richard]

Locke: “Hello Richard. It’s good to see you outta those chains.”

Richard: [eyes widen] “... you?”

Locke: “Me.”

[Locke immediately hits Richard in the throat, then knocks him unconscious]

Locke: “I am very disappointed... In all of you.”

[Locke puts Richard on his shoulder, and walks right past the corpse of Locke in the Ajira cargo box]

Elinor: “We gotta get out of here, and fast.”

[Elinor grabs her backpack from the sand and rushes off into the jungle]

Sun: “Where are you going?”

Elinor: “To the Others. Seems to be about time. Are you with me? [Lapidus and Sun give each other a wordless look] Well, then try not to get into trouble.”

### **6x03**

[Justin, Aldo, Jin and Kate are walking through the jungles when they hear someone approaching. Justin and Aldo aim at the moving bushes.]

Elinor: “Whoa! Easy. Just an unarmed passenger here.”

Kate: “Oh God... Put the guns down. She’s with us.”

Aldo: “Eli?”

Elinor: “Long time no see, huh? Where are you going? I thought the Temple was on the other side.”

Kate: “We are just out of the Temple. Sawyer escaped. Where have you been?”

Elinor: “Um... On the beach, with others. And Locke.”

Kate: “Locke’s dead.”

Elinor: “Well, depends on how you take it.”

Aldo: “Stop talking. We need to find your friend and get back to the Temple as soon as possible. You’re coming with us. Now, move.”

Elinor: “Unbelievable. Three years have passed, and he hasn’t changed a bit. [Gets a reproachful look from Aldo and sends him a forced smile] It will be a hella fun walk...”

Jin: “Where did your plane land?”

Kate: “What?”

[Kate stops, turns around and walks back to Jin.]

Jin: “The Ajira plane that you, Jack and Hurley came in on. Where did it land?”

Kate: “I don’t know.”

Jin: “Sun was on that plane too and I have to find her.”

Kate: [Angry] “You think they’re gonna tell you? You think they care about you or about Sun or about any of us?”

Elinor: “... I know where it landed. Kate wasn’t even there when it happened. And Sun was with me and Lapidus all the time until I left. I can tell you where to go, but I won’t join. Sorry.”

Jin: “Thank you.”

Kate: “Well, good luck with that.”

[Kate turns and walks away.]

Elinor: “What are you gonna do? When you find Sawyer?”

Kate: “I guess we’ll figure that out together.”

[Flash sideways - Elinor enters the room, checking her notes]

Elinor: “I’ll take care of her, don’t worry. [She lets the nurse go] Hello. You’re Miss... Littleton, right? I’ll just ask you a few brief questions before we get started, okay? So…”

Kate: “Excuse me, are you a doctor?”

Elinor: “No, but the doctor will be here soon, so you don’t have to worry. I’m here to help him start taking care of your friend faster. Now, if you don’t mind... [Turns back to Claire, a slight smile on her lips] How long ago do you think the contractions started?”

Claire: “About five minutes ago. What’s going on?”

Elinor: “Hold on. It’s all right. Do you think you have experienced stress in the last 24 hours? Like, something really serious?”

[Dr. Goodspeed enters the OB Triage. A monitor is beeping rapidly. Dr. Goodspeed reads Claire's chart]

Doctor Goodspeed: “Miss Littleton? Claire, how are you feeling?”

Claire: “Uncomfortable. What, wh-what’s happening.”

Doctor Goodspeed: [Turns to Elinor] “Any complications?”

Elinor: “Nothing terrible. Standard set.”

Doctor Goodspeed: “That’s good. What’s happening, Claire, is that Mother Nature’s gotten a little ahead of herself. Are you ready to have your baby?”

[Jin and Eli stop by a stream, but they are soon yanked from behind by Aldo and Justin]

Aldo: “Get up! Both of you!”

[Aldo brings his knee up to Jin’s face.]

Aldo: “That’s for my head.”

[Aldo pushes Jin into a tree, cocks his gun and aims at Jin.]

Elinor: “Aldo, stop! [She is grabbed by the shoulders by Justin] He’s got nothing to do with this whole thing.”

Aldo: [Angrily] “Don’t make me hurt you, Eli!”

Elinor: “Oh, will you? After all we’ve been through?”

Aldo: [Turns to Jin] “Where’s that bitch?”

Jin: “I don’t know. You don’t understand. We’re going back to the Temple.”

Aldo: “Yeah, right.”

Justin: “It looks like they’re alone. Maybe we should take them back.”

Aldo: “Or maybe we didn’t find them alive.”

Justin: “Aldo, no. We can’t. He’s one of them.”

Aldo: [turns to Justin] “He may be one of them.”

[Eli grabs a rock and hits Justin on the head.]

Elinor: “Jin, go!”

[Jin tries to run away. Aldo runs after him.]

Aldo: “Hey! Hey!”

[Jin steps into a bear trap and falls to the ground. It is clamped around his ankle.]

Aldo: [Smugly] “Where you goin’?”

[Aldo laughs as he aims his gun at Jin ready to fire. Before he can there are two gunshots. He falls to the ground.]

Elinor: “No! [She crawls over to Aldo, pressing her hands to the wound] Please, please, please... [She tries to hold the wound, tears running down her cheeks] Jin, we need to take him to the Temple. Please, you must help me carry him to the Temple…”

[Frightened, Jin looks to find who is shooting.]

Jin: “Claire?”

### **6x04**

[Flash sideways - In the teacher’s lounge, a man stands at the coffee machine with his back to the camera.]

Ben: “Alright, I know I sound like a broken record, but how many times do we have to go over this? If you have the last cup of coffee, you remove the filter and throw it away. Fear not. I will make a fresh pot.”

Locke: “Actually, I was just hoping for some Earl Grey.”

Ben: “Tea? Now there’s a gentleman drink.”

Elinor: “And quite unexpected for our coffee lovers squad. Hi.”

Ben: “Eli. [Ben gives her a reproachful look. She grimaces.] Excuse my former student. She’s new to the teaching staff and doesn’t know how to behave yet. I don’t believe we met.”

[They shake hands.]

Ben: “Ben Linus, European History.”

Locke: “John Locke, Substitute.”

Ben: “Well, welcome.”

[John smiles.]

### **6x05**

Claire: “I can get you somewhere safe. Come on. Think you can walk?”

Jin: “I don’t know.”

[He tries and falls down after one step. Eli grabs Claire’s rifle and aims it at her.]

Elinor: “You believe that you can just walk away, then you are wrong.”

Jin: “Eli... Put it down.”

Elinor: “No! First her boyfriend shot my brother, now she shot my... [Stutters and lowers her rifle for a moment, only to aim again.] You won’t leave until you help me get him to the Temple.”

Claire: “He’s one of *them*. We don’t have time for that. You want to help him, you do it yourself.”

Elinor: “I’m afraid you don’t understand, blondie. [Pulls the trigger. The bullet misses Claire by inches.] You *are* helping me. It’s all your fault.”

Claire: “My fault? He would’ve shot Jin if I hadn’t stopped him.”

Elinor: “How could you possibly know that?!”

Claire: “I just know. I’ve been here all these three years, with them. I know what these people are capable of.”

Elinor: “Well, I lived with them. And not just three years. You’re wrong. [Tosses the rifle to Jin and returns to Aldo.] Once you understand this, you know where to find us.”

### **6x06**

[Elinor enters the Temple, running, her clothes covered in blood. The Others aim guns at her.]

Elinor: “No, wait! I need to talk to Dogen, please. I need some help.”

Lennon: “Stop! Don’t shoot her. What happened?”

Elinor: [In a trembling voice] “Aldo, he’s... He was shot. I’m not even sure if he’s still... You have to help him.”

Lennon: “Where is he?”

Elinor: “Near the stream, on the way to the beach. About a mile from here.”

[Lennon nods to some men. They rush out of the Temple. Eli walks into the front yard, dropping down next to Miles.]

Elinor: “Hey…”

[She looks around carefully]

Miles: “It’s nice to see familiar faces, huh?”

Elinor: [Grins wearily] “Home sweet home.”

Miles: “Who the hell is this Jacob guy anyway?”

Elinor: “He’s, ugh... The Island’s messiah. He saves, helps, guides. Too religious, if you ask me.”

Miles: “You don’t look like a fan. Why are you so concerned about his death then?”

Elinor: “Because, Miles, I was taught that Jacob is our hope and support. And if he dies... We’ll all be gone, too. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not exactly a believer. But when you see what I saw, it’s kind of hard to ignore such things.”

[Eli runs into the room with a backpack on her shoulders. She forces Aldo to wake up.]

Elinor: “Hey, listen to me. Listen. I know you’re not feeling well right now, but we really need to leave.”

Aldo: “What? How did you even…”

Elinor: “Don’t ask anything, just listen. Dogen is dead, and this... *thing* will be here any minute. If we don’t leave the Temple now, we’re dead.”

Aldo: “Alright. Yeah, I got it.”

[He struggles to his feet, grimacing in pain. Eli gripps him under his arm to speed him up.]

Elinor: “I know it hurts. I know. I’m sorry. We need to get out of here. Do you remember any short path?”

Aldo: “I guess we’re lucky I’ve lived here for the last three years.”

### **6x07**

[Elinor and Aldo are sitting under the tarp, Eli treating his bullet wounds while he’s looking around.]

Aldo: “So that’s what this mysterious survivors’ spot is like.”

Elinor: “Not a single visit in three long years? [Aldo shrugs, wincing in pain.] Don’t do that again. I thought you were here before we left the Island?”

Aldo: [Grinning] “Yeah, but the explosion threw rocks at my head that day, so…”

Elinor: “Got it. Well, now you know. Is your curiosity finally satisfied?”

Aldo: “You can say that. [Pause] How have you been all these three years, on the mainland?”

Elinor: “Well, I got my degree. You would be surprised to know that I am now a qualified teacher. Besides, I’ve been traveling a lot. It was kinda difficult at first, but you know... There’s always a way. [Notices a wondering look directed at herself and laughs.] Oh, don’t look at me like that. Nothing illegal. I just... I’ve made some connections.”

Aldo: [Sarcastically] “Connections? You? No way.”

Elinor: “Hey! Do not anger the person who’s responsible for your health. This could end badly. [Puts the cotton aside.] Well, that seems to be all. Do you think you can help me find something for the fire?”

Aldo: “Well, you saved my life. So I guess the answer would be... Whatever you want.”

Elinor: “Whatever I want? Well, be careful with such statements. I have a very rich imagination.”

Aldo: “I think I can handle this.”

[Eli puts some wood in his campfire and sits down next to Frank. She watches Aldo, who is standing by the ocean.]

Lapidus: “So you two... You were a thing or something?”

Elinor: “Back in the days, yeah.”

Lapidus: “What happened?”

Elinor: “It just didn’t work. I realized that what they were doing wasn’t quite right, and he continued to obey orders. Then I ran away from the Others, later from the Island. And you know the rest.”

Lapidus: “But do you think he’s changed since then?”

Elinor: “Oh God, no. Once you’re an Other, you’ll always lie. [Turns to Frank, shrugging.] But I hope I can trust him again. Because for the first time since these guys have crashed here, he looks like the person I met once in the jungle. And I think that means something.”

### **6x09**

[Everyone sits round a beach campfire.]

Jack: “Candidates? Candidates for what?”

Aldo: “To replace Jacob. There were quite a few of them, but now…” [He shrugs.]

Jack: “And how is it about us?”

Elinor: “You are them. The remaining ones. You, Sun and Jin, Hurley, Sayid and Sawyer.”

Jack: “So, one of us is supposed to stay here and do what, exactly?”

Elinor: “Protect the Island and the people on it. I guess that’s what he did. We’ve never seen the guy.”

Lapidus: “Well, that’s great. So what do we do now?”

Ilana: “I don’t know.”

Jack: “Then, who does?”

[Aldo and Eli both look at Richard. Ilana points to the man.]

Ilana: “So, Richard, what do we do next?”

### **6x10**

Ilana: “How are we gonna stop him from getting on the plane?”

Richard: “We have to destroy it.”

[Sun speaks Korean]

Elinor: [Whispering] “If I understand correctly, she’s asking how we’ll get off the Island if he destroys the plane.”

Aldo: “You speak Korean?”

Elinor: “It’s been a long three years.”

Richard: “Why isn’t she speaking English?”

Jack: “She was hit on the head when she was running away from Locke.”

Richard: “He came back here? [Jack nods.] What, what did he want? What did he say to you? Do you understand me?”

Sun: [In Korean] *“Yes. I understand, you idiot!* [Eli chuckles.] *But if you think I’m gonna help you destroy our only way off this Island, you’re insane! I came here to find my husband so I could bring him home, not so I could save the damn world! She says I’m important.”*

[Sun points to Ilana.]

Sun: [In Korean] *“If that’s true, you need me! So, ‘understand’ this... I’m not going anywhere!”*

[Sun walks away furiously.]

Elinor: “Omitting the rough details, she doesn’t want to go. And she’s right. How are you going to get out of here without a plane?”

Richard: “It’s not the main problem right now.”

Elinor: “That’s the thing, Richard. It never was.”

### **6x12**

Elinor: “What do we do now?”

Aldo: “What do you mean?”

Elinor: “The woman who promised to protect them, and probably us, from that thing in the jungle just blew up, and we’re going to carry on like nothing happened?”

Aldo: “Look, I’m sure they’ll figure something out. Maybe it’d prove to Richard that blowing up something on this Island isn’t the brightest idea.”

Elinor: “I’m sorry, are we talking about the same guy? Because it seemed to me that someone who hysterically proves that we are all in hell, and then comes back with the intention of blowing up the plane, our only way out of this damned Island, isn’t the right person to follow.”

Richard: “I’m going to make this simple. If that thing leaves the island, that’s it. I-it’s over.”

Miles: “What’s over?”

Richard: “Everything. I’m destroying that plane and I can use all the help I can get. Who’s coming with me?”

Ben: “I am.”

Miles: “I saw that thing in action, man. It doesn’t want to talk. Sorry.”

Richard: “Anyone else?”

[Lapidus shakes his head and Sun stays seated. Aldo steps forward.]

Aldo: “I’m with you. We’ve been side by side for ten years. You’ve hardly been wrong before. [Turns to Elinor, whispering.] Come with us.”

Elinor: “Are you out of your mind? What about *‘I don't follow anyone’s orders anymore’*?”

Aldo: “It’s not about following orders. It’s about saving our lives. And with all due respect, I trust Richard here. Do you?”

Elinor: [Sighs heavily] “If it doesn’t work…”

Aldo: “It will. I promise.”

### **6x16**

[At the Barracks. Everyone enters Ben’s house. Eli stays near Alex’s grave.]

Aldo: [Comes up behind] “I don’t remember you being friends.”

Elinor: “We weren’t. But we grew up together. And... It’s hard to realize that she’s here now. Forever. I still can’t fully accept that any of our people are gone.”

Aldo: “Many have died in the last three years. I guess it had to happen sooner or later.”

Elinor: “Do you think we’ll make it out alive?”

Aldo: “... I don’t know. Don’t wanna get my hopes up ahead of time.”

Ben: “I’m not interested in hiding. He’s gonna find me sooner or later anyway. I’d rather have it over with.”

Miles: “These are both great plans, but I’m gonna go with surviving... You?” [Looks at Eli and Aldo]

Elinor: “For God’s sake, we all know how this thing thinks. He won’t talk. At least not peacefully.”

Miles: “Good. Sanity. [to others] If you need us, we’ll be running through the jungle.”

Ben: “Miles, wait. [to Widmore and Zoe] Give me your walkie-talkies.”

Widmore: “Why?”

Ben: “Because I asked. [They hand him their walkie-talkies] Thank you. [to Miles] In case I need you…”

Widmore: “He’s gonna kill you. You know that.”

Ben: “Then I guess this is goodbye.”

[Widmore and Zoe go into the secret room through the bookcase door.]

Ben: [to Richard] “Care to join me outside while I wait for the inevitable?”

Richard: “I’m gonna talk to him. I know this man. All he wants is for me to join him, and if I can get him to leave with me, maybe that’ll give the rest of you a chance.”

Miles: “Good luck with that. Go.”

[Miles, Aldo and Eli run off]

### **6x17**

Miles: “Damn it! You okay?”

Richard: “What--what--what happened?”

Elinor: “For some reason we don’t know yet, you lost your mind and decided it would be a cool idea to talk to that thing that’s been killing people for centuries. And what a surprise that you were thrown into the jungle in the process.”

Aldo: “Hey. Stop being so sarcastic.”

Elinor: “I haven’t even started yet.”

[Inside the Ajira plane, Frank checks the repairs he made.]

Frank: “Alright. It ain’t pretty, but it’s gonna work. Gotta reset the electronics.”

[Frank flips some switches and a beeping noise starts.]

Frank: “Something’s wrong with the hydraulics down at the nose wheel. You know any guys mechanical? Yeah?”

Miles: “Well, I--I worked for a--a contractor renovating apartments for a couple of summers--”

[Aldo shows up in the cockpit.]

Aldo: “I’m into it. Studied back to college.”

Frank: [rips page from manual] “Take that! And this, and this. [He gives them a flashlight and some duct tape] Go down there and make sure everything’s hooked up right. Go!”

[Flash sideways - In the schoolyard, a young man looks around, he’s visibly confused. Elinor approaches him.]

Elinor: “Hi. Picking up the kid?”

Aldo: “Uh... Yeah. My niece, actually. She’s said to be in Building B, but obviously, I’m in the wrong place.”

Elinor: “Well, you’re right about that. We have high school students here. Building B is on the other side. Right across the park and... [She stops and chuckles] You have no idea what I’m talking about, huh?”

Aldo: [Laughing] “I’m new here, so…”

Elinor: “Actually, I really need to go to Building B. I think I could show you the way.”

Aldo: “Well, I would be extremely grateful for that. [Gives her his hand] Be my guide, miss…”

Elinor: “Goodspeed. But actually, it’s…”

[She takes his arm, only to pull her hand back the next moment. They both see flashes of themselves being on the Island; their first meeting, time spent with the Others, Eli leaving the Island. More flashes show them reuniting in the jungle, and finally leaving the Island together. As the flashes stop, dazed Elinor steps away.]

Aldo: “... Eli.” [He looks up at her. She's still blankly looking around]

Elinor: “Did you... Did you see *that*?”

Aldo: “Yeah. [He nods and pulls her to him as tears form in her eyes] Hey, babe... It’s okay. It’s all okay. I’m here now. It’s gonna be alright.”

Frank: “... open the door. Come on!”

Elinor: [Jumps up from her seat] “Wait, is someone else coming?”

[Aldo rushes to the door. Kate, Sawyer and Claire climb onto the plane and take free seats. Frank attempts to lift the plane into the air. It narrowly clears the tops of the trees and takes to the skies. Frank and the rest of the passengers give sighs of relief.]

Elinor: [With her eyes closed] “We did it?”

Aldo: “Yeah... Yeah, we did.”
