Ben's Greatist Hits

[sirchin]

Okay I'll start, and rememeber it doesn't have to be funny, it can be profound.

"No John, we don't have a code for theres a man in my closet with a gun to my daughter's head. But obviously we should.

[Turnip Queen]

LOVE This thread already! Oh Ben, the greatest character ever created!

'See you guys at dinner!' - my personal favourite!

[BomberDawg95]

"So how long did you three spend debating amongst yourselves what it meant before you came here to tell me?"

"Five minutes."

"Wonderful. There goes our head start."

[BomberDawg95]

And everyone's thinking it, so I'll just say it:

"Destiny, John, is a fickle bitch."

[sirchin]

This rabbit didn't used to have a number painted on it, did it?

[wvugurl]

to widmore something like

since when did you start sleeping with a bottle of scotch by the bed....

[sirchin]

I came for you John....

[boutte]

I don't remember the exact line but when they release him from the room in the hatch where they were holding him captive before they knew who he was, he says that if he was an Other he had just set their friends up for a great ambush.

Then he says "you guys got any milk". It's my favorite line of the whole series.

[sirchin]

We're the good guys Michael.

OMG, Boutte, that's exactly what I was going to say! Isn't that great?!
You don't know whether you want to smack him or applaud him!

I think Sirchin's rabbit question is also great! Hmmm, let's see, how about "Karl! If you're going to have sex with my daughter, call me Ben..."

[Here'sLOCKEing at you,Kid]

Oh! Here's another one I particularly liked: After Sayid continues clicking an empty trigger several times: "That oughta DO it..."

[sirchin]

Imagine a box........

[sirchin]

"I guess I should have told you she crawled of into the woods Jack, but since you beat me up I figured I owed you one.

[harpers mole]

"Excuse me, James"

Pardoning himself after his sooty encounter in the secret lair .

[stargazer]

"Excuse me, James"

Pardoning himself after his sooty encounter in the secret lair .

That was great, wasn't it? I also loved how he looked at Hurley when he was opening the candy bar in Cabin Fever.

[sirchin]

"With your permission Jack I would like to go with him"

[boutte]

OMG, Boutte, that's exactly what I was going to say! Isn't that great?!
You don't know whether you want to smack him or applaud him!

It's SO Ben.

[Here'sLOCKEing at you,Kid]

"I guess I should have told you she crawled of into the woods Jack, but since you beat me up I figured I owed you one.

OMG! Don't you just love him!? I could watch an entire show of BEN outtakes! It's like the best combo of writing and actor you could get!

[bunnydixon]

"Excuse me, James"

Pardoning himself after his sooty encounter in the secret lair .

sawyers response to that was so funny!

[Turnip Queen]

sawyers response to that was so funny!
HAHAHA I must say I think I like it most when Ben rubs Sawyer up the wrong way or they have any interaction, because they're so funny!

'I'm here to tell you I'm gonna kill your daughter. Penelope, is it? And when she's gone, when she's dead, then you'll know how I feel' - that was so coldly delivered - chilling scene!

'YOU'RE MINE!'

........................

'Take as much time as you need'

*Monkey walk* :D

[burns20002002]

I thought the scene with Hurley and Ben was hysterical, even though there was no dialogue. Hurley just found out Ben killed all those Dharma people and buried them in a mass grave. It was like by offering him a piece of his candy bar he was saying " Dude, don't kill me too." And Ben just takes it and eats it.

Weren't they a little like Laurel and Hardy? LOL

[mattt]

How about...
Why 3.2 million???

[sirchin]

BEN: Not bad John, not bad at all.
JOHN: What?
BEN: The way you made him think coming with us was "his" idea.
JOHN: I'm not you.
Ben:_________________________________


I'll let someone else fill in the blank for the next one.

[Here'sLOCKEing at you,Kid]

Ben: No, John, you're certainly not...

[sirchin]

BEN: I don't know where the cabin is, I been following him.! points to Hurley

[snow24]

"If you've come to apologize, I forgive you for hitting me with your crutch. I'm so glad my head didn't break it."

"If it helps, I was surprised, too. If I were a betting man, I would have picked her and you."

[sirchin]

BEN TO JULLIET-- The very day I'm diagnosed with a tumor on my spine,
a spine surgeon falls from the sky. If thats not a miracle I don't know what is!

[teamlost23!]

"Oh so you do speak English"! Loved that line!!

[snow24]

"Oh so you do speak English"

haha , that one was so recent but I forgot about it, Love that one :)

[sirchin]

"Oh so you do speak English"! Loved that line!!

Yeah that was a hoot!!!

Naw... a hoot and a half!!!

[Turnip Queen]

Ben: How old are you?

Sawyer: 32

Ben: Don't lie!

[danielle222]

LOVE This thread already! Oh Ben, the greatest character ever created!

'See you guys at dinner!' - my personal favourite!

Me, too! With a stack of clean, fresh linens at that! Classic!

[Turnip Queen]

When he smirks like that or eyeballs someone to see how far he can push them before he gets beaten up, it's just the funniest thing ever! Especially if he pisses off Sawyer - his reaction to Ben's superior smirk is just priceless!

[Here'sLOCKEing at you,Kid]

Oh, Tracy, that is just the best in summing up Ben - the way he eyeballs someone to see how far he can push them before they beat him up! That's exactly right, TQ!

[danielle222]

Ben: Very important that you survive what's about to happen here, John, so you better stay close to me.

Locke: And why would I do that?

Ben: Because the people that are coming won't risk hurting me. You want to live? I'm you're best chance.

[sirchin]

Henry Gaile! I told you, my name is Henry Gail!"

[Brother Desmond]

Season 3 premiere "A Tale of Two Cities", to Juliet, "Looks like I'm out of the book club"

[Brother Desmond]

Season 3 Locke is in Ben's house and asks where they get their electricity. Ben replies "We have two giant hamsters running in a large wheel at our secret underground lair."

[Here'sLOCKEing at you,Kid]

Henry Gaile! I told you, my name is Henry Gail!"

AND......

"You can't do this! I'm not a bad person!!"

Brother Desmond, those are great ones!

[Brother Desmond]

Brother Desmond, those are great ones!

Thanks Danielle. I think just about every word out of Ben's mouth is a greatest hit (even his various looks and expressions could be greatest hits). He is making our job toooo easy.

[ortrules]

One of my favorite Ben moments, and the full quote Boutte talked about earlier:

"Of course, if I was one of them -- these people that you seem to think are your enemies -- what would I do? Well, there'd be no balloon, so I'd draw a map to a real secluded place like a cave or some underbrush -- good place for a trap -- an ambush. And when your friends got there a bunch of my people would be waiting for them. Then they'd use them to trade for me. I guess it's a good thing I'm not one of them, huh? You guys got any milk?"

[Turnip Queen]

Oh, Tracy, that is just the best in summing up Ben - the way he eyeballs someone to see how far he can push them before they beat him up! That's exactly right, TQ!

HAHAHA I know, it was so funny at the whole start of season 4, he just kept eyeing people to see how far he could push them!

Ben (To Juliet): You never made soup for me

[stargazer]

The writers said that originally Ben wasn't going to be a permanent part of the show. But Michael Emerson was so good, they kept that story line going.

Seriously that man deserves a major award this year!

[stargazer]

Seriously that man deserves a major award this year!

He certainly does. When are the Emmy awards?

[Turnip Queen]

I have no idea, I don't think we even get them over here!

[stargazer]

I have no idea, I don't think we even get them over here!

September 21st. Theres no list of nominees yet. No Emmys, TQ? Its mostly a yawn anyway.

[Turnip Queen]

We MIGHT get them, I'm not sure, I generally don't watch award shows - if I knew Lost was nominated on one I'd watch, but otherwise I wouldn't bother!

Every man for himself *Sawyer has a big needle stuck in him*

Ben: I hate needles

[ortrules]

He certainly does. When are the Emmy awards?

Michael Emerson was nominated for an Emmy for Best Supporting Actor. He lost to Terry O'Quinn (Locke). I think that was for Season 2, and I would agree that Terry deserved it more then. However, Michael should be nominated for another one and win.

He definitely deserves it over anyone this time, there's nobody better than him on tv!

[sirchin]

Ditto on Michael Emmerson winning an Emmy! As actors go,he is in a league all to himself!

[danielle222]

Ditto on Michael Emmerson winning an Emmy! As actors go,he is in a league all to himself!

Agreed. But this time it should be for "Best Actor in a Drama Series," not Best-Supporting Actor. A Golden Globe would be nice, too.

Im so glad you put this one Ort. I was just trying to find a copy of the script. Excellent.

[Here'sLOCKEing at you,Kid]

That was one of my favs too! oops, it didn't get in the quote... the one about having any milk... lololololol

[danielle222]

Ben: Well, I guess they're running out of jail space (pause)... I lost a dollar, you know.

Sayid: How did you manage that?

Ben: I bet John that you wouldn't be stupid enough to fall for your friend as bait.

Sayid: What do you know about friendship?

Ben: I know it's no use having friends you can't trust.

[sirchin]

Ben to Richard: "You do remember birthdays, don't you?"

[Here'sLOCKEing at you,Kid]

Im so glad you put this one Ort. I was just trying to find a copy of the script. Excellent.

"BECAUSE YOU'RE MINE!" (chilling and thrilling! Go, Ben!)

[danielle222]

Thanks Danielle. I think just about every word out of Ben's mouth is a greatest hit (even his various looks and expressions could be greatest hits). He is making our job toooo easy.

And don't you just love it when he plays the piano? Staring at the sheet music with those eyes, Oh... THOSE EYES!

[sirchin]

And don't you just love it when he plays the piano? Staring at the sheet music with those eyes, Oh... THOSE EYES!

Aww you girls going all gaga over Ben!LOL cool part of that scene is when he opens the bench he's been sittng on and pulls out a pump shotgun.

[danielle222]

Aww you girls going all gaga over Ben!LOL cool part of that scene is when he opens the bench he's been sittng on and pulls out a pump shotgun.

Yeah, I play the piano and I never kept a shotgun in my piano bench. I think the worst thing I ever had in there were some questionable pictures I didn't want my mom to see when I was a teenager. Oh, but I digress... A Shotgun would have been much better. :eek:

[stargazer]

Yeah, I play the piano and I never kept a shotgun in my piano bench. I think the worst thing I ever had in there were some questionable pictures I didn't want my mom to see when I was a teenager. Oh, but I digress... A Shotgun would have been much better. :eek:
Anything I didn't want my mom to see I kept in a little locked box. Can you believe she picked the lock???

[Here'sLOCKEing at you,Kid]

Aww you girls going all gaga over Ben!LOL cool part of that scene is when he opens the bench he's been sittng on and pulls out a pump shotgun.

Yeah! But also, did you see how Sawyer sort of darted back a step as Ben went to shove it at him? Because one just never knows exactly what Ben is about to do... I really liked that...

[Here'sLOCKEing at you,Kid]

:eek: AHHHH! Danielle! Were we twins separated at birth or something???
That's exactly what I did!! AHHH! OMG! LOLOL

[sirchin]

Yeah! But also, did you see how Sawyer sort of darted back a step as Ben went to shove it at him? Because one just never knows exactly what Ben is about to do... I really liked that...

Yes I did notice that, I laughed outloud! Sawyer can make you laugh with just facial expressions too! Like when he scrunches his forehead. It's usualy at Hurley!LOL!

[sirchin]

Ben and Julliette are walking towards Mikile's cabin.

Ben shouts: It's me Mikile were walking towards the cabin so please don't shoot me!





That was funny too!

I know, I know. That's no how to spell Mikile.

[boutte]

Widmore to Ben: Don't look at me with those horrible eyes.
It's not a Ben line but it made me laugh. He really does have hellish eyes.

[Turnip Queen]

Ben to Jack: I want you to WANT to save my life'

[sirchin]

Ben to Jack: I want you to WANT to save my life'

Thats a great one TQ. I forgot about that one!

Whe Ben was a prisoner of the losties Sayead had just beat the **** out of him earlier, Anna Lucia walks in
Ben says: "Did you come to beat me up too?"

[Turnip Queen]

Thats a great one TQ. I forgot about that one!

HAHA This season has been fantastic full of Ben quotes and expressions, I hope it continues!

[Here'sLOCKEing at you,Kid]

LOLOL all great lines!

Did I already add this one?... "You can't do this! I'm not a bad person!!"

[Turnip Queen]

LOLOL all great lines!

Did I already add this one?... "You can't do this! I'm not a bad person!!"


No I don't think that one was mentioned! :)

I love one scene with no words where he puts his hand over Juliet's hand after eyeing her out of it!

[sirchin]

Ben to Julliette: " I did not lie Juliette, we did cure your sister!"

[Turnip Queen]

Ben to Julliette: " I did not lie Juliette, we did cure your sister!"
I'm looking forward to seeing what happens Juliet I must say, that should be interesting!

[Here'sLOCKEing at you,Kid]

I'm looking forward to seeing what happens Juliet I must say, that should be interesting!

Wait! I have a question. If they really did cure her sister, then how? and what did he mean when he said or implied they could renig on that? Can't remember...

And, about the hand thing... did he actually put his hand over hers or did he just sort of touch side to side? That's what I was thinking... I don't think he was that bold, was he??

[sirchin]

Ben to Locke" How many times am I gonna have to tell you John! I always have a plan!


Theres another great one from Ben last nite. I let someone eles have it though!

[VincentCottonellePuppy]

"I taped over the game."

[~Sunshine~]

Ben is an AMAZING actor. I dont understand how you ladies find him attractive though :eek: lol j/k

Another great one is when he's showing Sawyer that they are on another island and he says.

"A guy can go crazy if he doesnt have someone, ....Its from Mice and Men, Dont YOU read? "


Maybe someone knows the whole conversation?? Anyway, Ben's character is soooo funny and brilliant

[Turnip Queen]

Ben to Locke" How many times am I gonna have to tell you John! I always have a plan!


Theres another great one from Ben last nite. I let someone eles have it though!

I was just gonna quote that - I just saw the episode - brilliant!

[bunnydixon]

[Dean Moriarty]

He changed the rules . . .

[Turnip Queen]

I just love his beady stare!

[spartymix]

Okay I'll start, and rememeber it doesn't have to be funny, it can be profound.

"No John, we don't have a code for theres a man in my closet with a gun to my daughter's head. But obviously we should.
how about Destiny is a fickle bitch

[danielle222]

"You know, those are like 15 years old." (After Hurley ate that cracker from the burried briefcase on the way to The Orchid.

[LOSt-n-Oz]

" My name is Benjamin Lynus and I believe your looking for me?"

[sirchin]

" My name is Benjamin Lynus and I believe your looking for me?"

You got it! That's the one I was waiting for!

[coffefrap]

"I'm working on it...."

[sirchin]

Locke: Why did you hurt Ana Lucia but not me?

Ben: Because your one of the good guys John.

[sirchin]

God doesn't know how long we've been here John! He can't see the island any better than the rest of the world can.

[Here'sLOCKEing at you,Kid]

I just love his beady stare!

I'm still shook up about the Steve Buschemi observation... :eek:

[Here'sLOCKEing at you,Kid]

God doesn't know how long we've been here John! He can't see the island any better than the rest of the world can.

ooh, when did he say that? I must be losing it... hmmm.

How about, (something like this, anyway...) "I'm on an island and I had a tumor on my spine. Then a spinal surgeon fell out of the sky. Yes, I believe in God..."

[sirchin]

ooh, when did he say that? I must be losing it... hmmm.

After telling John how Roussou capured him.

[sirchin]

Ben to Locke: So!

[Here'sLOCKEing at you,Kid]

Ben to Locke: So!

Hey there, Sirch! -no, that was me, not a quote! teeheeheee:D

[danielle222]

"Because we're not killers, James."

"I want you to bring me the man from Tallahassee."

[sirchin]

Hey there, Sirch! -no, that was me, not a quote! teeheeheee:D

Hello Locke and goodbye. I gotta run some diagnostics on this computer it's acting funny. Connection speed is reeeeal slow. I hope it's not a virus. With any luck I'll be back in a little while.

[Jeremy]

"My name is Henry Gale."

[tpbaxter]

don't remember the exact quote, but something like:

Jack: How can you read? (at a time like this)

Ben: My mother taught me.

there must have been a quite a few good Benjaminisms in season 5...

[Here'sLOCKEing at you,Kid]

Baxie, I saw you were in here. HA! Are you bored with us these days? you've been reviving some old threads. But that's GOOD! LOL
