So Locke is explaining to Boone about the vision he saw after asking the island for a sign, but he sticks to the details about just the plane and doesn't say anything about bloody Boone. "I know where to go now," he says. Boone says, "Go for what?" "To find what we need to open this bastard up," says Locke. But even Boone has had enough of Locke's crazy jungle-man routine, so he asks, "Have you been using that wacky paste stuff that made me see my sister die?" he says, completely nonchalant about the whole thing, with that nonsensical completely contrived sentence. I think this is like one of those moments on 24 or Alias with plotlines that span several episodes, and a writer gets a dig in at another writer for some detail that wasn't explained properly or outright made no sense on another episode. Because yeah, that "wacky paste stuff" was really good times for you, Boone. He expresses a little more skepticism about Locke's signs and visions and symbols, so Locke interrupts him to ask who Theresa is. Boone's look goes hard. Locke says tells Boone that in his vision, he was repeating, "Theresa falls up the stairs, Theresa falls down the stairs." Boone asks how Locke would know about that. Locke's all, "See? My point!" and tells Boone that they're supposed to go to this place where he saw the plane go down, and asks Boone to come with him.
Mercutio and Jin are working on the raft together, as Jack makes his rounds, with that backpack that makes him look like he's on his way to school. He's really impressed with the progress they're making. Mercutio explains that they learned a few things while building the first raft, so there's not so much trial and error. "Now it's just...trial," he says, glancing Jin's way. To illustrate his point, Jin starts talking at him, and Mercutio's all, "yeah, man, I know, 'now,' 'now,'" and Jack's impressed that Mercutio seems to be picking up a little Korean. Mercutio says he's pretty sure he knows Korean for "faster" and "idiot." Does he also know Korean for "pointless scene" and "dropped storylines"?
