I'll Find You...

Ahh, my favorite "I will find you across " routine. Lost used it this week. Cue the harp and piano, practice your method acting, add some dramatic pauses, and watch me eat it up. Being at the office for a full 14 hours wore me down--nothing that a little Lost can't cure. I fired up an episode on one of my two monitors at work and set about to do some brain-dead work on the other. Luckily, this week's episode was particularly emotive and rejuvenating. I am about to go home quite happy.

It's good to live vicariously a little bit. Frankly I would love to get my true love's phone number 8 years ago and call her now to let her know I have been stuck on an island with polar bears and the guy from Party of Five. Of course that last sentiment will make no sense to anyone who is not a fan.
To wit, the award winning dialogue:

Desmond: I love you Penny.

Penny: I love you too.

Desmond: I don't know where I am...

Penny: ...I will find you Des...

Desmond: ...I promise...

Penny: ...No matter what...

Desmond: ...I'll come back to you...

Penny: ...I promise...

Both: ...I love you.

Another "I will find you no matter " favorites includes The Last of the Mohicans.

Hawkeye: No, you submit, do you hear? You be strong, you survive... You stay alive, no matter what occurs! I will find you. No matter how long it takes, no matter how far, I will find you.






And the little-known What Dreams May Come, where Robin Williams travels to hell to bring back his wife.


Chris Nielsen: I found you in hell. Don't you think I could find you in Jersey!

    I thought the "I'll find you" scene in Lost was cute when I saw it, however, definitely a lot less cute when I read it just now.

    Was What Dreams May Come weird? I think Hannah saw it. I remember thinking it looked weird.

    I kind of wish Matthew Fox would travel back in time 8 years and reconsider his old hairdo. We could use some more 90's-puffy hair on Lost besides just Sayid's flash-forward.

    I did think it was weird. Weirder than Lost.

    Don't forget the closely related "I'll never let go!" trope, as seen in Titanic.

    Kate's character: "I love you! I'll never let go!"

    Five minutes later, she's prying his ice-cold fingers from the boat, trying to dislodge the deadweight.
