Catholic Nuns Unveiled

Catholic Nun Vigilantes

Ever wonder what Catholic Nuns look like outside the church walls? Wonder no more, the Grassy Knoll Institute snapped this rare photograph of four Nuns out loose in the wild.

As evidenced, Catholic Nuns are a very dangerous species. Upon them hearing the click of my digital camera, (50 Fucking Feet Away) all four nuns reeled around in unison pointing their hand guns with deadly aim at my head. (Notice the pleasure it caused them to have me in their sites)

I was lucky to escape. My 8 years of attending Catholic grade school in the 1960's helped me survive.

Every child learned the Duck and Serpentine manuever. It was a critical lesson of survival. With an eraser in hand, a nuns aim was deadly.

Elephant Ear Restaurant – Revisited (Fair Type Food)

Elephant Ear Restaurant Closed

As promised, I stopped back at the Elephant Ear restaurant in Boardman, Ohio to give Shannon and her restaurant another chance at redemption. If you recall, my first experience there left me with cold, wet, uncooked fries, very slow service, no take out menu, and average food at best.

Last week, I pulled into the parking lot and saw the restaurant was closed. In fact, it was empty. The tables, chairs, and equipment were all gone. A note taped to the door indicated the restaurant was closed and all the equipment was being sold at auction in the near future.

Elephant Ear Boardman Ohio

And look, you can see my reflection in the window. Handsome devil ain't I....

 Since the restaurant was closed preventing me from critiquing Elephant Ear on their progress, The Grassy Knoll Diner has no other recourse other than to score 0 out of 5 shots and does not recommend Elephant Ear Restaurant of Youngstown, Ohio for lunch or dinner.

ABC Lost Sequel - After The Church

Oceanic Flight 815 Continues

ABC Lost Altenate Ending

Yesterday morning I was greeted by a knock at the door at the secret lair offices of the Grassy Knoll Institute. I opened the door to find a large strong box at my feet. Looking up I caught a glimpse of a white colored courier truck turning the corner scurrying out of sight. I carried the box inside.

Upon inspection, the address label was from Culver City, California. I fetched my wire cutters and opened the strong box. It was air tight and a whoosh of air pushed out. The contents were concealed by shredded straw. It reminded me of the scene from A Christmas Story, the part where the old man won a major award and it was delivered in a huge wooden crate marked FRAGILE! I thrashed through the straw to reveal the treasure inside.

I was rewarded a moment later as my fingers found several round metallic objects amidst the straw. I gently lifted and removed one of the objects from the box and placed it on the table next to me. It appeared to be a film canister. The film was dated 2007, and emblazoned on the side was printed, Property of Touchstone Television, a now defunct production company. Opening the canister revealed an almost pristine condition film. Written on the canister itself was an inscription; ABC Lost Finale Arc – J.J.A. adaptation, After The Church sequel. (This was very Mr. Chang like from Dharma Institute showing a black and white film)

Attached to the top of the reel was a cryptic note addressed to the Curator of the Grassy Knoll Institute. The contents of the letter suggested that I view the films enclosed and continue my Lost updates as I had the past six seasons. There was no reason why I should, but I suspected viewing the films would shed some light.
I admit, I was intrigued by this find. However, being a dedicated Lost fan, I knew that the Disney Studio Company produced LOST under the ABC Television Studio moniker. Hence, this was merely an elaborate hoax. Or was it.

My curiosity piqued, I went to the basement closet for my film projector and screen. I dusted them off and brought them to the media room. I threaded the film and hooked the projector to the sound system and clicked the play button. The best case scenario, I was expecting to see out takes and bloopers from the past six seasons and maybe even a snippet or two of a story arc not fleshed out. Perhaps a hint at alien involvement and virtual reality. Why else would I have received this case? Instead, what I saw was astounding!

I immediately summoned the Grassy Knoll Institute executive staff to the board room to evaluate this particular discovery. We decided to investigate these mysterious films in detail. We started with the origin of the films. We discovered that Touchstone Television was absorbed by Disney Studio in 2007 and then later renamed ABC Studio’s, which was the official production company of Lost. Furthermore, after watching the first of four episodes (Titled The Seed) we came to the conclusion that what we now had in our possession were original storyboard episodes slated to be Lost’s series finale sequel arc. The euphoria we were feeling was on the same level Indiana Jones must have had when finally finding the Lost Arc of the Covenant.

Apparently, these Lost sequel episodes were pardon the pun, Lost in the sea of production crews and editing during the selling and buying of the Touchstone Television production company. The format of the films were in story book fashion, (Art work panels of scenes, characters, for each scene) with a narrator explaining the scene and dialog for each character.

The consensus of the executive team was unanimous, (Except Gumby, who abstained,) to forge ahead and critique these found Lost episodes and update them every week.

Geneva On The Lake – Dairy Queen

This Is Not The Large Size

Continuing with our Summer tour of Geneva On The Lake, we stopped at Dairy Queen, an ice cream stand attached to the iconic hamburger stand, Eddie's Grill. I ordered a small vanilla cone. The cost was $1.75 which is much larger than the Youngstown large version. As ice cream goes, it tasted good, and hit the spot on a hot Summer day.

The Grassy Knoll Diner scores 4 out of 5 shots and recommends Eddie's Grill Dairy Queen  for ice cream.

ABC Lost Sequel - The Seed - Part 1-4

Lost Sequel  - Episode One - The Seed

The Grassy Knoll Institute, like many other Lost fans, were not satisfied with the series finale ABC network presented May 23rd. The whole get me to the church in time and walk into the light to Heaven didn't get it for me. Not because my virtual reality controlled by aliens theory was wrong, (It was dead wrong) but because I felt cheated, that this merry band of castaways, half of them murderers, on and off the island, all got a free pass into Heaven. I needed more closure. I needed more loose ends tied up. I needed to know why season five was all about time travel and Daniel Faraday's time displacement theories.

So I decided to formulate my own Lost series finale. (I promise, there are absolutely no aliens involved in this new arc) I sat down at my computer and banged out several episodes that begins where the series finale ends. When the castaways were all gathered in the church, all happy, awaiting eternal bliss in Heaven with their loved ones. I will use my standard Lost Update format that I used for the previous six years to tell my story to maintain continuity. My first offering in the Lost Chronicles series finale arc is titled, The Seed. I hope the ending will blow your mind. I know it did mine.

Lost - A New Beginning

While watching The Seed last night, for a moment, I thought I was having my own type of Lost flashback. All the Lost castaways were gathered in the church, albeit a different church, and Ben Linus was still mulling around outside. This first scene was almost identical to the final five minutes we viewed back on May 23rd 2010. Until Jack hears something in the back of the church. (Don't worry Lost fans, there are no aliens involved conducting experiments on the castaways) (and you can trust me, I tell the truth, unlike the writers of Lost) Following is my critique of The Seed, the first episode of the end game series.

Enough rambling, on to Episode One, season Seven

Finally, the Lost island journey was over. For what appeared to have been several thousand years and countless life times, the journey was complete. The prize, (Salvation) awaited them all in the light. All Jack and the rest of the castaways had to do was follow the good shepherd, (Christian Shepherd) into the promised land. Emotions of joy, peace, happiness, and love overwhelmed the castaways as they lovingly embraced each other as they slowly proceeded to the church altar archway, the source of the light, all that is good and peaceful.

As Christian led his flock toward the altar archway, Jack got a subtle sensation of being watched as the hair on the back of his neck stood straight up. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a slight movement outside, through the stained glass window. Was it Ben Linus finally coming inside, or was it something... For just a moment, Jack tensed, painfully remembering what life on the island had been for so many years. Seconds later, relaxation and peace returned and he was again hugging and kissing Kate, the love of his life, as they walked hand in hand towards Salvation.

Sawyer was also quite tranquil, having been reunited with his true love, Juliet, (And her amazing rack) basking in his glory. He also noticed movement in the back of the church, lurking in the shadows. Sawyer took his gaze from Juliet's amazing rack for a moment and whirled his head around to take a better look. All he could mutter was, "Son-Of-A-Bitch!"

SCENE CHANGE:

A moment later, all hell broke loose. Heavily armed uniformed soldiers appeared from the shadows outfitted in riot gear and moved toward the castaways. The soldiers quickly advanced to the altar archway surrounding the castaways. A loud explosion extinguished the guiding white light covering the church in total darkness. The castaways screamed out in terror and sorrow as the soldiers began ushering them through the archway.

Sawyer could barely see in the almost total darkness but went on his own offensive attacking the soldiers around him and Juliet. He put up a valiant effort but there were too many of them. In a short span of time, Sawyer was pummeled and bloodied and his shirt was ripped from his body. (Ain't that always the case) He and Juliet were dragged off kicking and screaming by the soldiers through the archway.

Sayid also rushed toward the soldiers but was swiftly knocked unconscious with a blow from the blunt end of a rifle. A soldier silently dragged him through the arch disappearing into the darkness with a dull thud.

John Locke, a stunned look on his face, simply stared at the scene unfolding in front of him, frightened beyond comprehension. Locke grasped at his legs, making sure he still had use of them. Two soldiers grabbed him from behind and pushed him through the archway. Locke pleaded with the soldiers for an explanation but to no avail. The soldiers spoke not a word.

Jack shielded Kate behind him and took an aggressive stance waiting for the soldiers. He threw wild punches and connected with several on the soldiers flak jackets. His attack was useless. The soldiers grabbed Jack and unceremoniously dragged him toward the archway. Jack looked up and saw his father viewing the carnage from above. He yelled out to his father for help but did not receive a reply. Kate attempted to run from the church but found the doorway locked. She pressed hard against the doors in hopes of snapping the lock but the soldiers were upon her in mere seconds.

Desmond and Penny were corralled and right before he slips into the darkness of the archway, he spies Jack and utters his famous lines, "See you in another life Brotha!" Desmond and Penny vanish into the darkness in the arms of the soldiers.

SCENE CHANGE:

In a matter of less than thirty seconds, the castaways find themselves in a steel hull. In total darkness. Metal doors are heard shutting and locking. (From a soothing warm white light to a harsh cold darkness.) Jack and Sawyer yell and pound on the steel door demanding to be let out but to no avail. The rest of the castaways struggle to find their footing as the steel prison they are in begins to move.

SCENE CHANGE:

Meanwhile, Ben Linus, still seated outside the church, upon hearing the explosion and scuffle inside, rises from his bench and runs to the doors but finds them locked from within. He pushes on the doors as if to test their strength, then checks his watch, gives his wily smirk, and briskly walks down the cement path away from the church. The camera zooms out revealing several people out of focus waiting for Linus in the parking lot. Ben is giving instructions or commands, as no audio can be heard and the shot is from a distance not allowing me to make out who is actually there. (Perhaps it is Michael, Eko, Paulo, Widmore)

SCENE CHANGE:

Flash back to the castaways in the transport vehicle. The castaways are panicking, struggling to stay on their feet in the darkness. The camera pans out from the darkness inside to reveal a semi truck hooked up to and pulling an overseas container. (The identifying markers on the semi truck door indicates Dharma Initiative insignia.)

SCENE CHANGE:

Camera cuts to the transport vehicle, the overseas container. Inside, Sayid slowly awakens from his stupor. He hears panic in the voices of the castaways. He hears Jack bellowing, talking to his dead father, (Who isn't there) asking why this was all happening. Asking his father if it was all just a dream, some sort of maniacal torture.

Sayid seeks out Shannon and comforts her as best he can. He vows to Shannon that he will find a way out of there. Sayid soothes Shannon and informs her that he is going to survey the surroundings, to hopefully find a breach in the transport. Reluctantly, she releases her hold on Sayid and he walks to the back of the transport.

John Locke tried to man up but is so depressed, he just cowered in a corner, pressing his hands against his head as if in agony. He blathers unintelligently about the ying and yang, light and dark, good and evil, life and death, heaven and hell.

Meanwhile, Sayid is attempting to find some sort of escape but to no avail. The container walls are made of steel. There are no skylights, no sliding doors, no exit. Even knowing there is no escape, he continues to search for some sort of latch, or hatch to gain his freedom.

SCENE CHANGE:

The castaways slowly begin to assemble in the back of the container. Hurley suggests a roll call to see who all is there and if perhaps anyone escaped the soldiers. Hurley begins by announcing his name, Jack chimes in with his, and Kate speaks her name. Sayid begins to speak when an overpowering noise fills the container. The sound is a humming noise that turns into the Smoke Monster metallic sounds. This keeps up for almost thirty seconds. Jack Flashes back to the "Room 23" subliminal messages that were playing. Then all at once. Complete silence. A woman cries out, it sounded like Shannon, screaming out to leave us alone, and what have we ever done to you. The screaming turns into whimpering and then sobbing.

SCENE CHANGE:

Shuffling of feet and heavy breathing can be heard when a new wave of sound breaks the silence. This time it's music. It sounds like 1960's music. The lyrics to the song are...

"Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere"

I think I'd like to go
back home
And take it easy
There's a woman that
I'd like to get to know
Living there

Everybody seems to wonder
What it's like down here
I gotta get away
from this day-to-day
running around,
Everybody knows
this is nowhere.

Everybody, everybody knows
Everybody knows.

Every time I think about
back home
It's cool and breezy
I wish that I could be there
right now
Just passing time.

Everybody seems to wonder
What it's like down here
I gotta get away
from this day-to-day
running around,
Everybody knows
this is nowhere.

Everybody, everybody knows
Everybody knows.

The song repeats, over and over, getting louder every time, as if it is on a loop. Charlie knows the song, he remembers it from Neil Young's debut album in 1969. Charlie remembers that his band Driveshaft got their start opening for Young years ago. Charlie clutches onto Claire and sings along to the tune. Hour after hour the song and lyrics are drilled into the memories of the castaways by brute force. They cannot escape it. They cannot speak or communicate over it. All they can do is listen to it. At one time or another, all castaways are seen humming or lip syncing to the song. Hours later the music stops just as quick as it started. The metal container they are in also comes to a halt. Hurley blurts out the song was playing for 23 hours straight.

Sayid smells a faint whiff of a gas slowly seeping in. He commands everyone to cover their face with their clothes and to avoid taking any deep breaths. Slowly the castaways succumb to the knock out gas and they are lying on the floor of the cargo container.

SCENE CHANGE:

It's daylight, outside, the camera is panning slowly from the left revealing an island setting. A large metallic object with the Oceanic Airlines logo comes into focus. It's Oceanic Flight 815's engine. There is complete silence. (No audio)

The audio begins as the camera pans onto the beach, showing the crashed Oceanic Flight 815 fuselage bent and twisted on the island. (This scene reminded me exactly like the very end of Lost, after the big reveal, when the network came back from commercial. Showing the last scene, the wreckage of the plane from several angles on the beach, sans people)

The camera iris blinks, the sky flashes, and the castaways are back where they started. Strewn across the beach, lying still. In unison, the camera focuses and zooms in on a close up of each castaways eyes suddenly opening, displaying them across the screen simultaneously.

SCENE CHANGE:

As in the pilot episode, some castaways are moving and running around while others are aimlessly walking about. Jack sees familiar bamboo and gives the impression he knows he's back on the island. He gets up and runs toward the beach noticing a sharp pain in his side, the same pain he had when he originally crashed on the island. Blood is slowly seeping out of his wound.

The castaways all gather in the clearing and come together. Hurley once again attempts to count who was present and who didn't get captured.

Deja Vu All Over Again

Charlie surveys the scene in front of him, then surrealy asks, "Guys, Where are we?" (Just as he did in the Lost pilot in 2004 after hearing the smoke monster metallic sounds)
Jack laments, "We're back. We're back on the island."
Charlie mumbles and sings under his breath, "Everybody knows
this is nowhere, Everybody knows this is nowhere!" (Which were part of the lyrics of the song piped in during their captivity in the semi trailer.)

Cue the Lost logo and music.....

Well, what do you think Lost fans? Do you like this new story arc, or like sheeple, will you walk dutifully into the light directed by Christian Shephard? let me know in the comments, but more importantly, let me know what your theory is...

ABC Lost Sequel Part Two Found Here Titled: The Harvest.

LURKING LOST ON THE GRASSY KNOLL

ABC Lost Sequel - The Harvest - Part 2-4

Lost Sequel - Episode 2 - The Harvest

Previously on Lost:
Charlie surveys the scene in front of him, then surrealy asks, “Guys, Where are we?” (Just as he did in the Lost pilot in 2004 after hearing the smoke monster metallic sounds)
Jack laments, “We’re back. We’re back on the island.”
Charlie mumbles and sings under his breath, “Everybody knows
this is nowhere, Everybody knows this is nowhere!” (Which were part of the lyrics of the song piped in during their captivity in the semi trailer.)

SCENE CHANGE:

The castaways are huddled on the beach, surrounded by Oceanic wreckage, in a state of shock. There is no talking going on. The camera isolates each and every castaway for a few seconds then pans to the next. Claire mutters that she feels different, something has changed from her previous stays on the island. Jin and Sun confirm the same feelings. Something is definitely off kilter.

Sayid, still holding Shannon close, solemnly states, "We all knew it couldn't have been heaven we were in. Everyone here, including myself, has done some very terrible things in out past. Murder, rape, theft, adultery. This bunch was not sanctioned for heaven, but more like hell if you ask me."

John Locke, slowly kneels to the sand, runs the sand through his hands, and keenly suggests that they are all dead. That perhaps Naomi was correct when she was shocked to see us all alive. The castaways are looking at John, with bewilderment on their faces as Locke states, "Hey look everyone, we were all there, in that church, and now we're here, back on the island. I was dead, Ben Linus strangled me in a motel room." Locke shifts his glance to Boone and continues, "Boone, you were dead to. I watched you die. I helped bury you. And look around people, others have died as well, (Looking towards Charlie) and yet, here we are, right back where we started, back on the island, in some sort of Purgatory. Surely, the island is not finished with us yet.

Boone reels his head toward Locke and chimed in, "Well I don't know about the rest of you but I don't feel dead." Maintaining his gaze on Locke, Boone continues, "you're not going to get all Twilight Zone on us now are you? Expecting us to see Rod Serling appear from behind those trees wearing his dark suit and smoking a cigarette, and speak his monologue like he always used to."

Boone stands up, crosses his hands in front and holds a twig as if it were a cigarette imitating Serling, and says in his best Rod Serling voice, "Respectfully submitted for your approval… The place is here, the time is now, and the journey into the shadows that we’re about to watch could be our journey. A journey that begins at a typical airport filled with anonymous travelers. The passengers of Oceanic flight 815, a collection of improbable circumstances stuck together in a prolonged nightmare in which fear, loneliness and the unexplainable walk hand in hand through the shadows. In a moment we’ll start collecting clues as to the whys, the whats and the wheres. We will not end the nightmare, we’ll only explain it… because this is the Twilight Zone."

The castaways as a whole chuckle a tad, a few smiles roll across several faces.
Hurley, in a scary tone shouts out, "The book the Kanamits brought us, To Serve Man, IT'S A COOKBOOK!" The castaways relax just a bit more and begin to look around at each other taking stock in who is there and who isn't.

Sawyer admits it's the best explanation he's heard since Juliet told him they were building a runway for the aliens to land when he was held captive by the Others. The group chuckles again for a moment until Sawyer notices Juliet is not present.

SCENE CHANGE:

Sawyer panics, whirls around in several circles scouting out the area. He yells out for Juliet (And her amazing rack) again and again. He starts to make a mad dash into the jungle but Jack and Sayid stop him. Jack attempts to reason with Sawyer that everyone will formulate a plan and go out on a search mission.
Sawyer says, "Doc, I ain't buying any of this, now get out of my way." Sayid and Jack release Sawyer and decide to follow a running Sawyer into the jungle.

The remaining castaways call out for the men to return. They receive an answer as the spooky metallic smoke monster sound emanates from the jungle. Tree tops begin to shake and the ground begins to tremble. Instead of the smoke monster making an appearance, Jack, Sayid, and Sawyer emerge from the jungle running away from the smoke monster.

SCENE CHANGE:

The castaways huddle closer by the wreckage and wait out the smoke monster trembling. Sawyer is out of breath and still agitated, yells at Jack, "I thought you killed old smoky. I saw him dead at the bottom of the cliff! What is he doing out there in the jungle now?"
Jack fired back, "I did kill him. Kate shot him and I kicked him over the cliff. I saw his lifeless body."
Hurley points out, "Dude, you saw John Locke's body at the bottom of the cliff and he's right over there." (Hurley staring over at John Locke)
Claire screams, "Where's my baby? Charlie, Where's Aaron?"

SCENE CHANGE:

Charlie is hugging Claire, attempting to comfort her, trying to calm her down. Charlie points out that she is still very much pregnant, as the camera pans to Claire's obvious pregnant belly. Claire rubs her belly and screams, "What is happening? Why am I still pregnant? I gave birth to Aaron on the island. Did we travel back in time to do it all again?"
Kate speaks, "I remember Claire, I helped you deliver Aaron. But,... I also remember helping you deliver Aaron off the island at the benefit Desmond was holding."
Hurley says, "Dude, where the Hell is Desmond?"

SCENE CHANGE:

The castaways take notice on who is present. Hurley begins to count and calling out names starting with himself, "Hugo, Charlie, Claire, Jack, John, Shannon, Boone, Sawyer, Sun, Jin, Sayid, Kate, Michael, Walt."
Jack mutters, "Where is Desmond, and Rose, Bernard, Miles, Richard, Frank, even Widmore!"
Sun feels her belly and wonders about her pregnancy. Jin notices and clutches her hand and says, "Everything will be alright Sun."
John, taking stock in his surroundings, offers that the group must come together, form a plan, seek supplies, shelter, and fresh water.
And Sawyer adds, "And guns! Plenty of guns!"
Sawyer continues and blurts out, "Now that's all good and all Mister Clean, but we need to find Juliet. And the others that are missing."
Charlie utters, "This is Deja Vu all over again. Don't you see, we're back where we started, I've done this before. We've all done this before. That's what Desmond was trying to tell me. He's seen this happen before too. He warned me, us, but we didn't listen."

SCENE CHANGE:

Michael is holding Walt, protecting him, or perhaps using Walt as a shield to protect himself from the others. He remembers what he did, who he murdered, the betrayal to get him and Walt off the island. Locke slowly walks over to Michael and Walt, extends his hand in friendship, and says, "Welcome back Michael, Walt. It's been a long time since I've seen you two."
Michael breaks down crying, hugs Locke, and blubbers, "You know I had to do what I had to do to save Walt. I didn't want to do any of those things. Somehow, I felt like I was forced to. Like I had no choice."
Jack replies, "I know the feeling. Perhaps it's your turn for your shot at redemption."
Sayid consoles Michael, tells him that everyone has done things on this island that they regret. He is not alone.

SCENE CHANGE:

Jack takes the bull by the horns and gathers the group. He asks for suggestions on how they all should proceed.
Sun asks, "What do you think we should do Jack?"
Jack spins slowly around with all eyes on him and states, "Well, it's obvious we can't stay here. There's nothing left but the old wreckage. We need food, shelter, water. Maybe we should go back to Dharmaville and see if it's still standing."
Jack realizes that is exactly what he had done previously, take control, and backs off a little, offering that perhaps since we've done it before, it will be easier this time around.
Sayid: "Jack's right. We are exposed to the elements and whatever else may be on this island. I think we should go to Dharmaville. We should stay together, as a whole, and not split into groups as we had in the past. Does everyone agree with this?"
Jack: "I agree, if we're going to do this, let's gather what we can and set out on our journey."
Sawyer: "What ever you say Doc."
Kate: "We can make Dharmaville by nightfall if we leave now."
Locke: "Well, I guess the island wasn't done with us after all!"
Hurley: "Why am I feeling more and more like Jar Jar Binks in this sequel?"

SCENE CHANGE:

The castaways begin their trek to Dharmaville. They are all in close proximity to each other. Claire has calmed down and is holding Charlie's hand as they are walking. She asks him if he remembers drowning in the flooded station.
Charlie looks perplexed and answers, "Yes, I do remember, and I remember punching in the Beach Boys notes and writing NOT PENNYS BOAT on my hand to warn Desmond."
Hurley butts in, "Dude, do you remember anything after that? I mean, you died. Was there a bright light?"
Charlie: "No Hugo, there was not. I remember visiting you at the hospital. I remember being at the church. I remember being pushed into a truck and locked up and winding up here. I can't explain it, but here I am."

John Locke is asked by Hurley the same question. (What do you remember?)
Locke: "Like I said on the beach, I know Ben Linus murdered me in a hotel room. I remember the church as well. And now here. My mind is a blank from the transport to waking up on the island. Hey, at least we didn't crash here this time."
Boone relays a different scenario, that he remembers living in the states, with his sister Shannon, and that he very much felt alive. He can't explain it, but he doesn't remember dying. In fact, he remembers everyone getting rescued by a man named Widmore after a few days on the island.
Boone says, "Do you mean to tell me that we never got rescued? That I died? Here? On this island? Crazy, that's not what I remember at all. I was at the church for a funeral, Jack's fathers funeral. I thought everyone else was there for the same reason."

SCENE CHANGE:

The castaways, after several hours of trekking through the jungle, come to a small clearing. It's Jacob's old cabin. It looks to be in pretty good shape. They notice no ring of ash surrounding it. They smell smoke and hear distant movement. Sayid, who was in the lead, stops and gives the signal for everyone to stop and be quiet. He whispers to the group that he is going to survey the area and will report back. Just as Sayid was about to go, voices are heard and two figures appear. It's ROSE AND BERNARD. Hand in hand casually walking from behind the cabin.

The castaways come out of hiding and a joyous reunion occurs with hugging and laughing between the castaways. Vincent comes tearing through the jungle and spies Walt and jumps all over him, wagging his tail and licking Walts face.
Sawyer to Rose and Bernard: "Did you see anyone else? Juliet?"
Rose: "We saw Nikki and Paulo run by but they didn't stop. They just kept running. I'm sorry James, but I did not see Juliet since the day we all met in the church. It seems like only yesterday but it was so long ago. We thought you had left the island."
Sawyer: "That means that Juliet might be here on the island. We have to keep looking for her!"
Kate to Sawyer: "We will James. We will."

Bernard tosses a few more branches under the kettle that was simmering. Bernard reveals a jumbo sized Dharma can of chicken noodle soup. He says the cabin is well stocked with plenty of supplies. He opens the can and pours it into the simmering pot.
Bernard to everyone: "Please, everyone, come and sit. We have fresh water and the soup will be done in a few minutes."
Jack takes a load off and Kate sits next to him. Bernard passes out Dharma water bottles to everyone. Jack asks Rose how long they have been here.
Rose replies, "We lost track quite some time ago. But we knew you would return. You always do."
Hurley to Rose: "You mean we have done this before? Came back to the island and found you two? How many times?"
Rose: "Yes, you have. Like I said, I lost count a long time ago.
Sawyer: "Well whatta ya know, we're in the movie Groundhog day."

SCENE CHANGE:

Claire is fatigued. She lays down and eats some soup. Charlie tends to her. Jack tells Rose and Bernard their plan, to make it to Dharmaville before nightfall. Hopefully there will be adequate shelter and supplies there. Jack invites them both to join them. Of course, Rose declines the offer stating that Bernard and her are quite happy where they are.
Rose then turns quite serious for a moment, gazes into Jack's bright blue eyes, and warns him, "Are you sure you want to go back? You might not like what you find there!"
Jack: "Rose, we have no choice. We have to go back. To find Juliet. Shelter. What won't I like there? Is it destroyed?"
Hurley to Jack in a Darth Vadar voice: "Jack, it is your destiny!"

Sawyer is antsy to continue, loads up on water, and prepares to carry on. The rest of the castaways also get up and prepare. Claire states that she is tired, and doesn't want to go on. She doesn't want to hurt the baby. Charlie comforts her. She tells Charlie to go on, she'll be alright here with Rose and Bernard.
Charlie announces that he is staying, stating, "I will never leave you again Claire!"
Bernard confirms they can stay offering plenty of room and food.

SCENE CHANGE:

The castaways wave goodbye to Rose, Bernard, Claire, and Charlie and forge ahead into the jungle. There is plenty of small talk between the castaways but more so with Kate and Jack.
Kate asks Jack: "What did Rose mean that we might not like what we find. That sounds so familiar, like I've heard that before.
Hurley chimes in: "Because it's from The Planets Of The Apes. Remember the last scene when Charlton Heston and Nova are on the horse ready to leave Ape city. Dr. Zairus, the keeper of the faith tells him he won't like what he's looking for. And then at the end, Chuck is on his knees cursing, Damn you, damn you all to hell. And he looks up and sees a buried and broken Statue Of Liberty in the sand. Chuck realizes he is home and the planet is destroyed and now apes run the world."
Sawyer to Hurley: "Get your paws off me you damn dirty ape!"

SCENE CHANGE:

Several more hours pass and the castaways are near Dharmaville. They notice the sonic fence is no longer there. Sawyer quips, "Great, no line of defense against old smoky." From the cabins inside Dharmaville, music is emanating from the cabins. The castaways hear an old 1969 song playing by Zager and Evans,

In the year 6565
Ain't gonna need no husband, won't need no wife
You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too
From the bottom of a long glass tube, whoa-oh

In the year 7510
If God's a-comin' He oughta make it by then
Maybe He'll look around Himself and say
Guess it's time for the judgment day

In the year 8510
God is gonna shake His mighty head
He'll either say I'm pleased where man has been
Or tear it down and start again, whoa-oh

Sawyer spies a light on in the cabin he and Juliet once shared. Juliet loved that song and played it all the time. He runs to the cabin yelling out for Juliet. The rest of the group in hot pursuit right behind him. Sawyer reaches the porch and bursts into the cabin. He sees Juliet, who was just taking muffins out of the oven. Juliet is startled, cranes her neck back towards the door, and proceeds to drop the pan of muffins on the floor. (Just as she did when we first saw her) She runs to Sawyer, they embrace, hug, kiss. Sayer, whispers in Juliet's ear, "I told you that I wouldn't let go!"

A very emotional reunion occurs between the entire group, each hugging and crying along with Juliet. Hurley yells, "The bands back together dude!" Everyone laughs.

SCENE CHANGE:

Night begins to creep into the day.
Juliet turns down the music and closes the oven. Jin asks Juliet what she is doing there. How did you get here? Juliet replies that she just found herself here. In the cabin, baking muffins. She last remembers being in the church with everyone and then woke up in the cabin baking. She can't explain how, or how long she's been there. Just that she is.
Sawyer to Juliet: "My sexy little domesticated Barbie doll."

Sayid hears bushes moving and tells everyone to be quiet. Hurley kills the lights and Jack and Sayid carefully look out the window blind. It's Claire, Charlie, Rose and Bernard. They made it.

Another tearful reunion between Juliet and Claire, Charlie, Rose and Bernard. Rose said they couldn't leave Charlie and Claire behind, everyone deserves to be together.

SCENE CHANGE:

Kate, Sun, and Hurley find Dharma food cans in the cupboards and begin to prepare a meal for everyone. After the Dharma dinner, everyone gathers round the camp fire Sayid and Shannon made. Charlie finds a guitar in one of the cabin closets and brings it out to the campfire.

Michael, alone from the group, looks up in the night sky, concentrating on the bright harvest moon shining down on him, reflecting on his past, how he got there, and what he was going to do now. He's ready to cry when his son Walt joins him, takes his father's hand in his, and smiles up at Michael.

Charlie plops down next to Claire and starts strumming his guitar softly. Claire snuggled close to his side. Charlie softly begins to sing Harvest Moon, by Neil Young.

Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say
Just like children sleepin'
We could dream this night away.

But there's a full moon risin'
Let's go dancin' in the light
We know where the music's playin'
Let's go out and feel the night.

Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon.

When we were strangers
I watched you from afar
When we were lovers
I loved you with all my heart.

But now it's gettin' late
And the moon is climbin' high
I want to celebrate
See it shinin' in your eye.

Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon.

The couples snuggle close at the camp fire, enjoying Charlie's rendition of Harvest Moon. Boone Hurley, and Locke are on the perimeter of the cabins, keeping watch. Locke tells Boone that he believes he was born to do this.
Boone jokes: "What, to keep watch over us on a deserted island?" How'd that work out for you the last time? From what I gather, not so good!"

The scene fades slowly to darkness, only seeing a flicker of the camp fire, Charlie's singing barely audible.

SCENE CHANGE:

The camera zooms out from the castaways and rapidly rises and crosses the island to an undisclosed place. It is the entrance of one of the Dharma Stations. Faint sounds can be heard from within. The camera penetrates the walls to reveal Ben Linus and Jacob with file folders strewn across a table. They are discussing the castaways.

Jacob: "You’re still trying to prove me wrong."
Ben: "You are wrong!"
Jacob: "They come, fight, they destroy, they corrupt. It always ends the same. They always end up in the church, awaiting salvation!"
Ben: My friend, from now on, it only ends once. Anything that happened before, happened. It’s just progress. I think it's time to tell them the truth."
Jacob: "You better let me handle that. All you ever do is lie to them.
Ben: "You do that Jacob."

Cue the Lost Logo and music.
