Chuck Noland: I'm sorry, Wilson. Wilson, I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
Chuck Noland: [to Wilson] We might just make it. Did that thought ever cross your brain? Well, regardless, I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean than to stay here and die on this shithole island, spending the rest of my life talking......
Chuck Noland: Don't worry Wilson, I'll do all the paddling. You just hang on.
Chuck Noland: Aha. Look what I've created. I have made FIRE.
Chuck Noland: We live and we die by time, and we must not commit the sin of turning our back on time.
Chuck Noland: Gotta love crab. In the nick of time too. I couldn't take much more of those coconuts. Coconut milk is a natural laxative. That's something Gilligan never told us.
Chuck Noland: I couldn't even kill myself the way I wanted to. I had power over nothing.
Stan: We buried you. There was a coffin, a gravestone... the whole thing. Chuck Noland: I had a coffin? [Stan nods] Chuck Noland: Well what was in it?
Chuck Noland: [reading from a birthday card] The most beautiful thing in the world is, of course, the world itself.
Chuck Noland: You wouldn't have a match by any chance would you?
Chuck Noland: We live and we die by the clock, that's all we have.
Chuck Noland: 87 hours is an eternity. The cosmos was created in less time.
[last lines] Bettina Peterson: You look lost. Chuck Noland: I do? Bettina Peterson: Where're you headed? Chuck Noland: Well, I was just about to figure that out. Bettina Peterson: Well, that's 83 South. And this road here will hook you up with I-40 E...
Chuck Noland: First thing it's two minutes, then four, then six, then the next thing you know, we're the U.S. mail.
Chuck Noland: I'm always going to keep this watch on Memphis time. Kelly time.
Chuck Noland: Hey, is all this turbulence from Santa and those eight tiny reindeer?
Kelly Frears: You said you'd be right back. Chuck Noland: I'm so sorry. Kelly Frears: Me too.
Chuck Noland: [after seeing his "sail" fall over] This could work! This could work...
