When Ben visits Widmore in his room and he says- I see your getting more sun. Ben says- "your rock" is lovely this time of year.

He's just refering to the island.

I think he said Iraq! Remember he had just been there.

When LostFreak posted that Ben said "your rock" I immediately thought of an old song by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkle. In it the words say, "I am a rock, I am an island" so I went with that. It could have been that he said Iraq.

It would have been funny if he said "Iran" and then continued by singing the Flock of Seagulls song "I Ran". Or maybe not.;)

Your rock would fit in the sentence as well. Widmore says "everything you have, you took from" which could mean the Island, "a rock"

I thought Iraq because he was just there, and we know Ben is off the Island in that time.

Seriously, folks. I've watched it enough to know that he clearly says, "Iraq". There really is no debate about it.

And I quote:

Widmore: I wondered when you were going to show up. I see you've been getting more sun.
Ben: Iraq is lovely this time of year. When did you start sleeping with a bottle of scotch by the bed?

That's it....Iraq! I was wrong. Not "your rock" no reference to the island.

Well done, that should settle this matter.

Poop! So he said Iraq. Widmore didn't say why were you in Iraq. Does Widmore know what Ben is doing?

Couldn't say for sure but I'll take a gamble and say he at least has an idea! That's why he didn't question him about it. Widmore knows exactly who's on the island...so I suppose he could draw his own conclusion.

Oh, this is so weird like Deja Vu with such an odd thing! I just saw this guy today with one of those parrot head haircuts and I started quietly singing,
And I raaann, I ran so far awaaaay.." then I think he heard me because he chuckled. Now you mentioned Flock of Seagulls... funny...LOLOLOL

What, Ben took Widmore's pet rock too? That evil bastard! Taking a man's mysterious extradimensional island is one thing, but taking his pet rock - that's over the line.

And for some reason, I'm reminded of It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown - "All I got was a rock!"

Actually, I think we can all assume they were talking about Widmore's car collection. He has a cool convertible I-Roc Z. (http://images.cars.com/main/DMI/110349/8341.jpg)

Ben is jealous of the red fuzzy dice and the hydraulics. His Ford Pinto is nowhere as pimped out as Widmore's I-Roc Z.

Up until recently, Widmore also had a mullett.

Haha, we knew all along Ben was bad.....but now we know he is truly evil. You don't mess with a man's pet rock.

I know maybe Ben is in a band and what he really meant was I Rock.

That's it! Ben has taken Charlie's place in Driveshaft. It all makes sense now!
