Then I get run down by a crazy Scottish man a few days later and end up on <i>your<\/i> operating table.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/ack_attack\/pic\/00d9s6af\"\/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, I am the <i>only<\/i> surgeon in the <i>only<\/i> hospital in ALL of LA. Apparently.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/ack_attack\/pic\/00d9t8r1\"\/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Last time I saw you, you said you wanted to help me let go.  Then this Scottish man said the same thing to my sweater-vested colleague.  So now I&#8217;m starting to think that you fixing me is my DESTINY.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/ack_attack\/pic\/00d9w3c5\"\/><\/p>\n<p>And Jack is like, &#8220;I&#8217;m not one to turn down a good fixer-upper, and I&#8217;d love to make you fitter, happier, more productive, etc., but don&#8217;t mistake coincidence for fate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/ack_attack\/pic\/00d9xd6w\"\/><\/p>\n<p>And Mr. Eko&#8217;s like, &#8220;Hey, isn&#8217;t that my line?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/ack_attack\/pic\/00d9y9b4\"\/><\/p>\n<p>But Locke doesn&#8217;t care whose line it is &#8211; he wants the surgery!

Any other questions?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/ack_attack\/pic\/00da06cp\"\/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yeah, what the hell are we doing here?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/ack_attack\/pic\/00da1qz1\"\/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, a few millennia ago, I made a huge mistake and turned my brother into a Smoke Monster.  Ever since then, he&#8217;s been trying to kill me, and I knew the day would come when I&#8217;d need to find my replacement.  So I thought, who can I trust to run the island when I leave and take care of the polar bears for me? Not a grown up. A grown up would want to do everything his own way, not mine. So that&#8217;s why I decided a long time ago that I had to find a child. A very honest, loving child, to whom I could tell all my most precious island secrets.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/ack_attack\/pic\/00da2dbx\"\/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So that&#8217;s why you sent out the golden tickets?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/ack_attack\/pic\/00da3txf\"\/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t send out any golden tickets, dumbass! And I obviously couldn&#8217;t deal with kids, either.  So I found a bunch of pissed off, screwed up, lonely people who really had nothing better to do, and I dragged all your asses here.  There is a light that never goes out at the center of the island &#8211; one of you needs to protect it from my brother, and you have to decide which one&#8217;s doing it RIGHT NOW.  No pressure or anything.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/ack_attack\/pic\/00da4bkd\"\/><\/p>\n<p><b>Jack:<\/b> Put me in, coach!
