Penny Widmore: Des, where are you?
Desmond Hume: I'm... I'm on a boat. Um... I've been on an island, and - - Oh, my god, Penny. Is that really you?
Penny Widmore: Yeah! Yes, it's me!
Desmond Hume: You believe me? You still care about me?
Penny Widmore: Des, I've been looking for you for the past three years. I know about the island. I've been researching and then when I spoke to your friend Charlie, that's when I knew you were still alive. That's when I knew I wasn't crazy. Des, are you still there?

Trivia
Desmond meets Charles Widmore in an auction, where he's buying the journal of The Black Rock's first mate. The Black Rock is the ship that lies in the middle of the jungle in the island. See more »Goofs
The number for Penny that Desmond retrieves is before the London area code switch over. When he dials it in the present it would have changed over. No amount of money Penny could have paid would prevent this. See more »Quotes

This season, and especially this episode, of Lost has blown me away in the same fashion as Season 1. It's fantastic!
I'm a huge fan of time travel, and have been since I was old enough to remember. I really appreciated this episode's nod to Kurt Vonnegut's idea of becoming "unstuck" from time was very well done. It captured everything I imagined about Billy Pilgrim in 'Slaughterhouse 5.' While the leaps were shorter with Desmond, it is still a powerful thing to see. My question is, now that Desmond has an anchor, will he stop jumping? And what about his memory? Thank you, Lost, for bringing this concept to life for me!
The ship isn't nearly as impressive as I thought it would be, but that is similar to how common the hatch was when they broke into it. I'm still curious about why the time disruption happened, but the plot twists of this episode were enough to both satisfy my curiosity and intrigue it on other levels. Hopefully tonight's episode will keep up the excitement. Desmond episodes are hard acts to follow, but, with the shortened season, I'm counting on more episodes like this and fewer slow ones.
