Chuck Noland:
I couldn't even kill myself the way I wanted to. I had power over nothing.


[Chuck talks to Wilson, the volleyball]
Chuck Noland:
Hey, you want to hear something funny? My dentist's name is James Spalding.


Chuck Noland:
Aha. Look what I've created. I have made FIRE.


Chuck Noland:
We might just make it. Did that thought ever cross your brain? Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this shithole island spending the rest of my life talking to a god damn VOLLEYBALL.


Chuck Noland:
WILSON.


Chuck Noland:
You wouldn't have a match by any chance would you?


Chuck Noland:
We both had done the math. Kelly added it all up and... knew she had to let me go. I added it up, and knew that I had... lost her. 'cos I was never gonna get off that island. I was gonna die there, totally alone. I was gonna get sick, or get injured or something. The only choice I had, the only thing I could control was when, and how, and where it was going to happen. So... I made a rope and I went up to the summit, to hang myself. I had to test it, you know? Of course. You know me. And the weight of the log, snapped the limb of the tree, so I-I - , I couldn't even kill myself the way I wanted to. I had power over *nothing*. And that's when this feeling came over me like a warm blanket. I knew, somehow, that I had to stay alive. Somehow. I had to keep breathing. Even though there was no reason to hope. And all my logic said that I would never see this place again. So that's what I did. I stayed alive. I kept breathing. And one day my logic was proven all wrong because the tide came in, and gave me a sail. And now, here I am. I'm back. In Memphis, talking to you. I have ice in my glass... And I've lost her all over again. I'm so sad that I don't have Kelly. But I'm so grateful that she was with me on that island. And I know what I have to do now. I gotta keep breathing. Because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?


Kelly Frears:
I always knew you were alive, I knew it. Everybody said that I had to let you go. I love you. You're the love of my life.
Chuck Noland:
I love you too, Kelly. More than you'll ever know.


Chuck Noland:
[reading from a birthday card] The most beautiful thing in the world is, of course, the world itself.


Chuck Noland:
First thing it's two minutes, then four, then six, then the next thing you know, we're the U.S. mail.


Chuck Noland:
We live and we die by time. And we must not commit the sin of losing our track on time.


Chuck Noland:
Gotta love crab. In the nick of time too. I couldn't take much more of those coconuts. Coconut milk is a natural laxative. That's something Gilligan never told us.
