"He was standing over Jacob's dead body with a bloody dagger."
Hugo Reyes to Miles:
"He told me I have to stop everyone from blowing up the plane. So... no more dynamite. No more blowing up."
James Ford to Miles in a flash sideways:
"I'm telling you the truth, Miles. Why the hell would I lie?"
Sayid Jarrah to Miles:
"There was a fundamental debate as to whether your people were coming to rescue us... or kill us."
Sayid Jarrah to Miles on Dogen and the Others:
"Apparently, I'm evil. These people say I'm better off dead."
Hugo Reyes to Miles:
"Dead people are more reliable than alive people."
Ben Linus to Miles:
"Miles, listen to me -- whatever you do, don't blow up that plane."
Frank Lapidus to Miles and Alpert:
"Boys! We got some late arrivals!"
James Ford to Miles in a flash sideways:
"None of your damn business."
Hugo Reyes about Miles:
"Oh, awesome. The ship sent us another Sawyer."
Jack Shephard to Miles:
"I don't know, Miles. How stupid are you?"
Richard Alpert to Miles:
"I think I just realized I want to live."
Miles Straume to Miles:
"I don't believe in a lot of things, but I do believe in duct tape."
ON THE ISLAND: Recruited as part of the freighter expedition team that was searching for Ben Linus. Miles was on the island when it began skipping through time, eventually landing in the '70s in the Dharma Initiative, where he would meet his father.
Survived the detonation of Jughead and is back in the present-day time period on the island.
