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.
Transcripts for Lost episodes up to and including "Enter 77" are based on the transcriptions by Lost-TV member Spooky with aid of DVR, and at times, closed captions for clarification. She and Lost-TV have generously granted us permission to share/host these transcripts at Lostpedia. Later transcripts were created by the Lostpedia community, unless stated otherwise below.
Disclaimer: This transcript is intended for educational and promotional purposes only, and may not be reproduced commercially without permission from ABC. The description contained herein represents viewers' secondhand experience of ABC's Lost.
These transcripts are different in that they were not transcribed by any particular user, but were visually presented, and are considered noncanon.
Non-Canon Hoax Alert! This article contains false information that does not officially belong to The Lost Experience or other Lost mythos. Unlike fanon or parody, the material was created intentionally to cause confusion with information from official sources. |
The Joke Script Pages are a set of documents released by Lost's producers through various easter eggs on the different Lost DVD box sets, although it's also possible it was intended to be used as a red herring.

LOST "Exodus, Part II" REVISED PINK - CONFIDENTIAL (3/23/05)
58.
SUN Sun looks down at the knife in her hand -- and at Kate --
then, in subtitled Korean SUN (CONT'D) Kate nods -- she doesn't need to speak Korean to understand
where Sun is heading with this -- then, as Kate looks away, double checking the clip on her 9mm sidearm --
SMASH CUT TO:
EXT. JUNGLE - DAY
-- Charlie tears ass through the jungle. Every step on the
torn, bloodied soles of his bare feet is a lifetime of pain -- but he must press on -- there is no other choice, as the jungle SHIVERS with the unmistakable --
MMMMMMMMRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWRRRRRRR:
-- of the monster.
But Charlie's best isn't even remotely good enough -- he is
too tired, too beaten, in too much pain to keep up this pace for much longer -- and eventually, like all the others before him --
-- CHARLIE FALLS!
And then, as he turns around to meet his inevitable fate, he
sees something no one has ever seen --
THE MONSTER
Holy. Freakin'. Lord.
Huge. Mechanical AND biological. Godlike and profane. A
massive, multi-tentacled robotic beast resembling a primordial mapinguari - only partially obscured in a cloud of acrid smoke!
And off Charlie -- a look of absolute fear on his face unlike
anyone could ever imagine -- CUT TO BLACK:
END OF ACT SIX

Notes
- Written across part of the page in red pen and heavily underlined are the words "No! No! No! No Mapinguari! NOT YET!". This could have been added to make the script page seem more authentic, to give the impression that it was a genuine script idea that was never filmed for the show.
- The section of the script that the above comment refers to is crossed through with red pen.
- Printed in a hollow font type across the page vertically is the name J.J. Abrams, one of the principal creators of the show.

Transcript of Main Text
LOST "MAN OF SCIENCE, MAN OF FAITH" CONFIDENTIAL (6/23/05) 16. LOCKE (CONT'D) And off Charlie, looking down at the knife... wondering --
could Locke be right? Is this truly his destiny?
And more importantly, does he have the guts?
SMASH CUT TO:
EXT. JUNGLE - DAY Jack runs out of the hatch, a look of fear on his face, the
likes of which we have never seen. His veins throbbing, every muscle burning, he pushes himself faster, faster into the brush --
-- Jack should be overtaken by sheer and abject terror fatigue -- he
has been awake since Rousseau showed up in the camp less than thirty hours ago -- but nothing in the darkest recesses of his mind could have prepared him for the horror he has just witnessed --
-- not that any of this matters right now, because in his
mind there is only room for one single, adamantine thought. Run. RUN.
But even the electrical storm of adrenaline coursing through
Jack's veins is not enough to get him out of this jam.
He feels it -- two hands, grabbing his shoulders -- followed
by the overbearing weight of a body crashing into his own from behind!
KERRASH! THUD!
Jack crashes into the muddy earth -- scrambling to turn
himself around -- to throw a punch, a kick -- anything to get out from under his assailant --
-- until his eyes focus on the face staring back at him.
HIS OWN.
CUT TO BLACK:

Notes
- Written across the top part of the page in black pen is the comment: "Too Vague!! Will we get it". An arrow is drawn next to the comment and points to the dialogue spoken by Locke
- Written at the bottom of the page in black pen is the comment: "Can Jack #2 look @ Jack #1 and say something like 'I am Jack.'?" A circle is drawn around the text "HIS OWN." which is linked back to this comment.
- Printed in a hollow font type across the page vertically is the name Damon Lindelof, one of the principal creators of the show.

Zombies
From Abandoned
Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse have spoken about 'The Zombie Season', a theoretical seventh season where Lost has jumped the shark, and zombies are prominently featured. The careful unraveling of its dense mythology is key to Lost. Through this running joke the producers are acknowledging the fact that they can only keep this up for a finite number of seasons.

Don’t let them take my son. If it comes to that…
I don’t want to die here, Michael.
It’s WALT!!

Michael, no! That isn’t Walt! STOP!
And all Hell breaks loose… |
Notes
- Is undead Vincent here too! Do we hear barking?
- Michael speaks a little Korean now he should speak it!
