Sawyer: (…) So we’re stuck in the middle of damn nowhere. How about we talk about that other thing? You know, the transmission Abdul picked up on his little radio. The French chick that said “They’re all dead.” The transmission’s been on a loop for … how long was it, Freckles?
Kate: Sixteen years.
Sawyer: Right. Let’s talk about that.
Boone: Well, we have to tell the others when we get back.
Shannon: Tell them what exactly?
Boone: What we heard.
Shannon: You didn’t hear anything. I’m not a stupid translator.
Sayid: No one’s going to tell them anything. To relay what we heard without fully understanding it will cause a panic. If we tell them what we know, we take away their hope. And hope is a very dangerous thing to lose.
Kate: So we lie.
