Quotes:
"Well, Daniel, maybe if you talk real slow, we'll be able to follow. " said by Juliet Burke to Daniel Faraday
"Something familiar in both times. All this, see this...is all variables. It's random. It's chaotic. Every equation needs stability, something known. It's called a constant. Desmond, you have no constant. When you go to the future, nothing there is familiar. So if you want to stop this, then you need to find something there. Something that you really, really care about....that also exists back here, in 1996. " said by Daniel Faraday to Desmond Hume
"I love you, Penny! I've always loved you. I'm so sorry. I love you! " said by Desmond Hume to Penelope Widmore
"I love you too. " said by Penelope Widmore to Desmond Hume
