| - A transcript is a retrospective written record of dialogue, and like a script (a prospective record) may include other scene information such as props or actions. In the case of a transcript of a film or television episode, ideally it is a verbatim record. Because closed-captioning is usually written separately, its text may have errors and does not necessarily reflect the true Canonical transcript. Mobisode 9 - "Tropical Depression" Writer - Carlton Cuse Director - Jack Bender [Arzt is sneaking up on something with a jar and lid in his hands] ARZT: My eye on you, you have your eyes on me ... ha! [he swoops down to capture a bug] Hahahaha! [Michael approaches] MICHAEL: Hey Doctor Arzt. Yo! Doctor Arzt. ARZT: Yeah. MICHAEL: Hey, what's the wind situation gonna be like for tomorrow? ARZT: Uh, tomorrow, um... I don't know. MICHAEL: What? ARZT: I'm not a meteorologist, I'm just a high school science teacher. All that stuff I said about the monsoon season, I made it up. MICHAEL: What do you mean you made it up? ARZT: I just wanted you to get that raft built and get off this rock and have us all rescued. MICHAEL: Okay, uh... alright, no worries. Forget it. [Michael wants to get up, but pauses as Arzt starts:] ARZT: I fell in love with a woman from Australia. I met her on the internet. We chatted with each other for about a year. I saved up all my money and I flew down to Sydney. I shouldn't have used my buddy Nick's picture; okay, I admit that, I've said that, I said that I was sorry; I thought that we were beyond that so it made no difference; I thought that we were really connected... MICHAEL: Mmm-hmm. ARZT: So I get to Sydney, and uh... I see her and she looks so beautiful. I took her out to the nicest restaurant I could find. We order the lobster. She frickin' disappeared, never came back to the table. They wouldn't even let me give the lobster back! [Michael wants to get up, but pauses when Arzt starts again] ARZT: That's not the worst part... not the worst part. The worst part is... that I could have just hung out. Sydney, you know, the bar scene? You know what I did? I booked an early flight out, Oceanic Flight 815. MICHAEL: You know what? I - I would really love to feel sorry for you and all, but, you know, take a look around. Everybody on this beach has got a story just like yours. Do you think any of us want to be here? ARZT: No, I know nobody does, I - I'm really sorry that I lied about the weather. MICHAEL: It's okay. The raft is finished; we getting out of here; we're going to bring back help. ARZT: You are! I know you are! I know you are! And I am gonna to be the first one on the beach waving 'hello' when you get there. MICHAEL: Okay, man. ARZT: Okay. MICHAEL: Take care. [Michael walks away]
