Episode BABF207
Aired 25 Jan 2006
(CHARLIE'S MUM unwraps CHARLIE'S new piano.)
CHARLIE'S MUM: Now, practise your scales, Charlie, that's a good lad.
CHARLIE [playing scales] CDEFGAB CDEFGAB CDEFGA-[plink]
(He looks round. He's alone with the piano on the ISLAND. Waves curl around them like FROM HERE TO ETERNITY.)
AARON [inside piano]: Waaaaah!
CHARLIE: Cor! There's a bloody baby in me piano!
AARON: Waaaaah!
CHARLIE: Well, you can't expect me to practise my scales if there's a baby blocking the hammers, can you?
(BEACH is EMPTY. Trees sway in MENACING manner.)

CHARLIE: Get yourself together, Liam. We have to do this. We need this.
LIAM: I'm all right, man. I'm good.
(Members of DRIVESHAFT walk onto stage)
DRIVESHAFT: We built this city. We built this city on rock and rollllllll -
SIMON: Thank you. Thank you. You can stop now. You took one of my favorite songs and butchered it. Ghastly. Just ghastly.
RANDY: Hey dawg, you aiiight.
PAULA: (fellates drummer)

(CHARLIE chases LIAM outside. There is a DOUBLE-DECKER BUS, a BLACK TAXICAB, an M25 sign, a STREET URCHIN, FOG, BIG BEN, a man with BOWLER HAT and UMBRELLA, a PINT of ALE, an unarmed POLICEMAN blowing a WHISTLE, a SKIP LORRY, HUGH GRANT, the QUEEN, and a ROUNDABOUT.)

SAWYER: Hey freckles.
KATE: (swoons)
SAWYER: That's the third time Jack's come out of the woods with Girlfight.
KATE: (swoons)

ANA LUCIA: You hittin' that?
JACK: Nah. Sharp knees.
* * *
HURLEY: Hey.
SAWYER: Thinking about some Tailie tail?
HURLEY: Dude. Libby. Unf.
SAWYER: Go get her, boy.
KATE: (swoons)

CLAIRE: Eko, when you told Charlie that the baby needed to be baptized -
EKO: I did not tell him to do what he did.
CLAIRE: That's the quickest you've answered a question. What happened to staring into space for five minutes first?
EKO: Only to defend myself.

SUN: I think Charlie's dreams are symbolic of Michael's plight.
JACK [puzzled]: Michael?
SUN [making quotes with fingers]: You know, "Walt Walt Walt Walt Walt Walt Walt"?
JACK: Oh yeah. Got it. Losing his "son", "wife" pushing him away, etc.
JOHN [disagreeing]: I think Charlie worries about going down the same path as his brother.
HURLEY: Yeah, yeah. Fate vs. free will.
SAWYER: Right. The drugs, paternal responsibility, posing his own danger to the child.
KATE: (swoons)
EKO: I have another theory about who Charlie symbolizes.
ROSE: Yes, Eko?
EKO: A political figure in the United States. Former drug user, but disavows it today. Unrepentant liar, untrustworthy-
SAWYER: Aw, geez, not this again...
KATE: (swoons)
EKO: delusions of grandeur, exploits group fear to advance his wishes, believes himself a savior when he is himself a significant threat ...
JACK: We get it. We get it. It's Bush. I thought we weren't going to talk politics here.
EKO: This is very important.
JACK: Not while we're 10,000 miles away it isn't.
JOHN: I still think we're actually in Kentucky.
JACK: No religion, no politics, and no "your favorite band sucks." We have to all get along here.

CHARLIE [in dark hoodie]: Nowadays everybody wants to talk like they got something to say, but nothing comes out when they move their lips, just
a bunch of gibberish...
