(Jack and Sawyer playing ping-pong)
Sawyer: It's kinda strange, uh? Being back. (Jack starts laughing) Something funny?
Jack: Kate said the same thing in the kitchen last night.
Sawyer: (unsettled) She did, uh?
Jack: She did. (Sawyer doesn't pay attention and loses the point) 19 point.
Sawyer: So, you guys ate together, huh?
Jack: No, Juliet and I had dinner together last night. edit »
Sawyer: What? My doorbell busted again? What the hell are you doing?
Kate: Shut up and don't talk.
(Kate kisses Sawyer)
Sawyer: You cryin'?
Kate: I said shut up!
(Kate kisses Sawyer again)
Sawyer: You got it.
(Sawyer and Kate make out) edit »
Kate: What's this?
Sawyer: Your mix tape. (pause) Well, you gonna take it, or ain't ya?
Kate: The Best of Phil Collins, huh?
Sawyer: Don't get picky. And, if Bernard asks, I don't know a thing about it.
Kate: Thanks, James. edit »
Charlie: (picks up a hula doll) It can't be Rousseau's; if it was Rousseau's, a massive rock would be flying at my head right now. edit »
Charlie: Why you lying to me, mate?
Desmond: Look, mate, I've saved your life three times now. If that hasn't bought me your trust, I don't know what will. edit »

The mix tape Sawyer gives Kate says "The Best Of Phil Collins". Phil Collins is an english singer-songwriter, drummer and actor. edit »
Hurley: Have you heard the one about the Chupacabra?

Chupacabra is a cryptid that has been reported to inhabit both parts of the Americas, but more specifically Puerto Rico and Mexico. It is a creature that reportedly attacks and drinks the blood of livestock, especially goats. According to descriptions, it is the size of a small bear, with a row of spines reaching from the neck to the base of the tail. edit »
Charlie and Hurley discuss who would win in a footrace between Superman and The Flash.

Superman and The Flash are DC comic book heroes. Superman is "faster than a speeding bullet" while the Flash possesses "super speed."

The two have raced several times in the comic books and each race has either ended in a draw or The Flash winning. edit »
Afternoon Delight: When Sawyer suggests to Kate they have some "Afternoon Delight", he is alluding to the song by the same name, released in 1976 by the Starland Vocal Band. It has since become synonymous for making love in the afternoon. edit »
The Colonel Bogey March:

Classic British military piece, made famous as the theme of the 1957 Best Picture Winner The Bridge on the River Kwai. The tune is whistled by Jin, Desmond, Hurley and Charlie as they trek over the island to their date with destiny. It is first used in the film as British POWs whistle it as they march to the jungle prison camp to learn their fate to build the bridge. edit »
