Best Ben Quote??? - Lost Community Forums - Official Spoiler-free Lost Fansite

Gale243 · 07-12-2008, 01:12 AM

I know Ben has a lot of good quotes, but out of the ones on the poll, which one is the Best??? This is my last poll. ( I think

)

Miss Austen · 07-12-2008, 01:42 AM

I like your polls Gale, so please keep adding them!

I've gone for the destiny quote. Many of Ben's quotes seem the opposite to what they are. For example, we tend to think you can't change destiny, yet on the island it seems you can! Or you could come up with a different version of destiny.

The good guys quote is good too because when Ben said this, we had seen no 'goodness' in The Others at all. At that stage they just seemed like creepy child snatchers, wearing false beards, who had a propensity to gag and hood their prisoners!!

We have seen some redeeming qualities in The Others now; but there are still many unanswered questions, so I tend to like the quotes that seem at odds with the prevailing circumstances.

Wow, thanks Miss Austin, that is very kind of you. And yeah I like how you explained the other quote, since we didn't think they were the good guys at all.

Hard pole.
It might have to be 'so?' that made me laugh so much (it was just the way it was done and he said it) or 'you guys got any milk?'

will have to think about it

Take all the time you need MEP....

KatesFate · 07-12-2008, 03:50 AM

I went with Destiny, John is a fickle bitch. One of the best lines uttered by Ben. Or one I like that is not on the poll is How many times do I have to tell you, I always have a plan.

Gale243 · 07-12-2008, 04:13 AM

^^ OH!! Good one KatesFate, I should have put that on there!

KatesFate · 07-12-2008, 05:19 AM

Your choices were all good ones though.

Gale243 · 07-12-2008, 06:33 AM

Thanks!

Bass-mastaa · 07-12-2008, 09:58 AM

We're the good guys Micheal , This one just sticks in my mind , I think it captures Ben's whole enigma and morally grey nature

***monster-eats-pilot*** · 07-12-2008, 02:46 PM

I went with 'You guys got any milk?' because his 'speech' before it showed his darker side and what he is capable of but that line just showed a lighter side to him and it made me laugh

I'm going with "He changed the rules", since it's such an obvious allusion to Michael Emerson's character Zep in the first Saw movie - "It's the ruules.."

Him · 07-12-2008, 06:50 PM

A difficult choice. I'd also like to put a word out for Ben's little speech to his dad, right before he killed him.

"You know, I've missed her too. Maybe as much as you have. But the difference is, for as long as I can remember, I've had to put up with you."

I find it extremely chilling and venomous.
