Shannon.
It's very possible your sister and I are going to become more than just friends.
What is this, some middle eastern thing?
You want my blessing or something?
My hope is you won't object.
Yeah?
I was extending a courtesy, not asking your permission.
Let me tell you about my sister.
She likes older men - guys that can take car eof her.
My guess is in this place you fit the bill.
She'll make you feel like the greatest guy ever while you
get her food,whatever it is she needs,
and once she gets what she wants,
she'll move on.
When she does,
don't take it personally, man.
Messed up my ride, chief.
Hey, there you are.
Come help me with this. I'm completely destroying it.
You seem to be doing just fine.
Yeah, fine at making it collapse.
You're very capable, Shannon.
I'm sure you'd be all right building it on your own.
What's going on?
Perhaps you should find another friend to help you with your shelter.
You've been talking to my brother, haven't you?
Oh, gross!
Gross to you, dinner to me.
Boone - where is he?
Don't know.
What do you mean, you don't know? You two are like jungle pals.
Sorry. I haven't seen him.
Well, if you do see him,
tell him to keep his stupid mouth shut, and if he has something to say,
he can leave Sayid out of it and come say it to my face.
Should I be writing this down?
Just - just tell him to stay the hell out of my business.
Do you like him?
What?
Sayid.
Are you serious?
Because if you do like him,
what's it got to do with your brother?
You're a grown woman.
Sure, you can yell at Boone till you're blue in the face,
but all you're doing is giving him what he wants.
Yeah, what's that?
Your attention.
Everyone gets a new life on this island, Shannon.
Maybe it's time you start yours.
You must be pretty scared, huh?
Scared. You understand scared, don't you?
Huh?
If you ain't, you're gonna be, Bruce.
Folks down on the beach might have been doctors and accountants a month ago,
but it's "lord of the flies" time now.
Michael! Take it easy!
I'll take it easy, all right!
Hang on, man!
Hey, man, you burned my raft?
Just calm down.
Hey, step aside, man! Just calm down!
You burned my raft? Why'd you burn my raft, man?
Calm down and think about it for a minute.
Look at his hands, man.
Back off, Jack. It's got nothing to do with you.
Shut it! Everyone's gotta chill out!
What'd he say?
You say something to me?
- Michael!
- Huh?!
Say it again.
No, no, no, say it again, man!
Michael!
Michael!
- Hey -
- Hey, easy, doc!
One fight at a time.
He's right. This is between them.
Stop it!
Leave him alone!
He didn't burn your raft.
You speak english?
Didn't see that coming.
You understood us all this time? Why didn't you say anything?
Your raft was already on fire when he arrived.
He burned his hands trying to put it out.
Then why did he run?
Exactly. That's what I thought.
My husband is many things,
but he is not a liar.
You're gonna lecture us about lying, Betty?
From the look on his face,
even your old man here didn't know you speak English.
How do we know she's not covering for him?
Because she isn't!
Why would he burn the raft?
He's been after me since day one! Everybody knows it!
Okay, it's personal.
But why take it out on our best chance at getting off the island?
Why would any one of us block an attempt to get home?
We're so intent on pointing the finger at one another
that we're ignoring the simple undeniable truth
that the problem isn't here, it's there!
They've attacked us!
Sabotaged us, abducted us, murdered us.
Maybe it's time we stop blaming us
and started worrying about them!
We're not the only people on this island, and we all know it!
He did not do it.
Look at this.
I can't salvage a thing.
Pontoons, the decking...
fire burnt up all the twine!
Damn it!
Damn it!
God...
I'm sorry, man.
It's okay.
No.
Come here.
Come here.
Come here.
Look...
we all have setbacks.
I mean, god knows, man.
That's
