Para mi primera entrada Lostiana del blog, quiero hacer un homenaje a la que me parece la mejor pareja de la serie. Jack Shepard y John Locke. Si están juntos en una escena sabes que será como mínimo intensa y sus diálogos son de los más destacable de la serie, casi tan buenos como los monólogos de Benjamin Linus. Es una verdadera lástima que desde mitad de la 2º temporada en adelante apenas tengan momentos de metraje en común.

El tributo consiste por una parte en los, a mi parecer, 3 mejores diálogos de John y Jack (lo siento, pero solo los he encontrado en inglés. Se que a los puristas, como yo, no les importa; pero no todo el mundo entiende inglés o lo prefiere en este tipo de cosas. Me hubiese gustado ponerlo en los dos idiomas)  y por otra una selección visual, con imágenes vamos, de sus mejores escenas juntos. Cuidado que la recopilación contiene imágenes de Lost de hasta la 4º temporada.

Comenzamos con los diálogos:

1x05 - WHITE RABBIT

Jack se ha internado en la selva para seguir a lo que parece ser su padre, llega un momento que Jack casi cae por un acantilado y Locke llega en el momento justo para salvarlo...

JACK: How are they, the others?
LOCKE: Thirsty. Hungry. Waiting to be rescued. And they need someone to tell them what to do.
JACK: Me? I can't.
LOCKE: Why can't you?
JACK: Because I'm not a leader.
LOCKE: And yet they all treat you like one.
JACK: I don't know how to help them. I'll fail. I don't have what it takes.
LOCKE: Why are you out here, Jack?
JACK: I think I'm going crazy.
LOCKE: No. You're not going crazy. Crazy people don't know they're going crazy. They think they're getting saner. So, why are you out here?
JACK: I'm chasing something -- someone.
LOCKE: Ah. The white rabbit. Alice in Wonderland.
JACK: Yeah, wonderland, because who I'm chasing -- he's not there.
LOCKE: But you see him?
JACK: Yes. But he's not there.
LOCKE: And if I came to you and said the same thing, then what would your explanation be, as a doctor.
JACK: I'd call it a hallucination. A result of dehydration, post traumatic stress, not getting more than 2 hours of sleep a night for the past week. All of the above.
LOCKE: All right, then. You're hallucinating. But what if you're not?
JACK: Then we're all in a lot of trouble.
LOCKE: I'm an ordinary man Jack, meat and potatoes, I live in the real world. I'm not a big believer in magic. But this place is different. It's special. The others don't want to talk about it because it scares them. But we all know it. We all feel it. Is your white rabbit a hallucination? Probably. But what if everything that happened here, happened for a reason? What if this person that you're chasing is really here?
JACK: That's impossible.
LOCKE: Even if it is; let's say it's not.
JACK: Then what happens when I catch him?
LOCKE: I don't know. But I've looked into the eye of this island. And what I saw was beautiful.
JACK: Wait, wait, wait, where are you going?
LOCKE: To find some more water.
JACK: I'll come with you.
LOCKE: No. You need to finish what's you've started.
JACK: Why?
LOCKE: Because a leader can't lead until he knows where he's going.

1x24 – EXODUS (Parte 2)

Jack, Locke, Kate y Hugo se dirigen a la escotilla para volarla con la dinamita que han conseguido en el Black Rock, por el camino se topan con el “humo negro” que atrapa a Locke y esta a punto de llevárselo por un agujero, suerte que Jack lo puede salvar...

LOCKE: We shouldn't be this close to each other, Jack.
JACK: If we blow up, we blow up. What the hell was all that about back there, John?
LOCKE: What was what about?
JACK: You asked me to let you go.
LOCKE: That's right.
JACK: That thing was taking you down the hole and you asked me to let you go.
LOCKE: It wasn't going to hurt me.
JACK: No, John, it was going to kill you.
LOCKE: I seriously doubt that.
JACK: Look, I need for you -- I need for you to explain to me what the hell's going on inside your head, John. I need to know why you believe that that thing wasn't going to...
LOCKE: I believe that I was being tested.
JACK: Tested?
LOCKE: Yeah, tested.
JACK: I think...
LOCKE: That's why you and I don't see eye-to-eye sometimes, Jack – because you're a man of science.
JACK: Yeah, and what does that make you?
LOCKE: Me, well, I'm a man of faith. Do you really think all this is an accident -- that we, a group of strangers survived, many of us with just superficial injuries? Do you think we crashed on this place by coincidence -- especially, this place? We were brought here for a purpose, for a reason, all of us. Each one of us was brought here for a reason.
JACK: Brought here? And who brought us here, John?
LOCKE: The Island. The island brought us here. This is no ordinary place; you've seen that, I know you have. But the island chose you, too, Jack. It's destiny.
JACK: Did you talk with Boone about destiny, John?
LOCKE: Boone was a sacrifice that the island demanded. What happened to him at that plane was a part of a chain of events that led us here -- that led us down a path -- that led you and me to this day, to right now.
JACK: And where does that path end, John?
LOCKE: The path ends at the hatch. The hatch, Jack -- all of it -- all of it happened so that we could open the hatch.
JACK: No, no, we're opening the hatch so that we can survive.
LOCKE: Survival is all relative, Jack.
JACK: I don't believe in destiny.
LOCKE: Yes, you do. You just don't know it yet.

2x03 – ORIENTATION

Dentro del Cisne, el contador esta a punto de llegar a 0, en ese momento llega Jack. Solo hace falta presionar Execute…

LOCKE: You do it, Jack.
JACK: What?
LOCKE: You have to do it.
JACK: You do it yourself, John.
LOCKE: You saw the film, Jack. This is a two person job, at least.
JACK: No. It's not real. Look, you want to push the button, you do it yourself.
LOCKE: If it's not real, then what are you doing here, Jack? Why did you come back? Why do you find it so hard to believe?
JACK: Why do you find it so easy?
LOCKE: It's never been easy!
JACK: No. It's a button.
LOCKE: I can't do this alone, Jack. I don't want to. It's a leap of faith, Jack.

Y dos imágenes extras:

La 1º una curiosidad: Jack y Locke, son los dos únicos personajes de los que nos han mostrado como despertaron en La Isla tras el accidente del Oceanic 815.

Y 2º, un reflexión: ¿representa esta escena la última vez que Jack y Locke están frente a frente?

Eso es todo, solo mencionar Lost-media.com y Lost-tv.com de donde he extraído las capturas y los diálogos respectivamente.

Hasta la próxima.
