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.

Commentary[]
EDWARDS: I had this idea for a fire.
LILY Wait, first introduce yourself.
EDWARDS: I'm Paul. Edwards.
LILY: What did you do on this show?
EDWARDS: I directed this episode.
LILY: Good.
BONVILLAIN: And you are?
LILY: I'm Evangeline Lily and I play Kate in "What Kate Did."
EDWARDS: Look at those guy's guns. He's built.
LILY: And you are?
BONVILLAIN: Mike Bonvillain, and I shot this show.
LILY: As the DOP.
BONVILLAIN: For Pa-ool.
EDWARDS: Pa-ool
BONVILLAIN: I carried him.
[laughter]
LILY: Nice. I think that Daniel has bigger boobs than me.
EDWARDS: Daniel's a well-cut man, look at that.
BONVILLAIN: If I was gonna go that way...
LILY: What are talking about, if?
EDWARDS: Jorge's going there.
BONVILLAIN: He's [Ununderstandable]
LILY: So Paul, we're gonna leave this up to you-
EDWARDS: She cannot make a bad shot. It's just amazing.
BONVILLAIN: It's the surf break to point out.
EDWARDS: Always show the water.
BONVILLAIN: Wally's Reef.
EDWARDS: Show the water.
LILY: I've gotten my butt kicked on those waves a few times.
BONVILLAIN: Have you been out there [Ununderstandable]?
LILY: I've been past the cove.
BONVILLAIN: Yeah. That's so hard, that place.
EDWARDS: I love her.
LILY: Poor Josh, for this entire episode, lay there on a bed and moaned for like ten days of filming.
BONVILLAIN: Poor us.
LILY: When he finally got up he was so thrilled to be able say some lines. Steven Laporte does such a great job of wounds and all that kind of stuff.
BONVILLAIN: He loves it. He's macabre.
LILY: Such a good job.
EDWARDS: Now do you think that was his original reading or did they ADR? I think it was the original reading.
LILY: I think he had to ADR that stuff, I remember talking to him about this episode and he was devastated.
EDWARDS (overlapping): Really? So he had to make it more subtle? Yeah. It was just a [Ununderstandable]
BONVILLAIN: He did it so many times, I mean...
LILY: And the weird thing about ADRing a scene like this is that we're inside a soundstage.
EDWARDS: Right, though I think it was more for the-
LILY: The read?
EDWARDS: How the read was, yeah, exactly. Now this is Evie in a tree, this is not on a stage.
BONVILLAIN: She's actually kind of a monkey.
EDWARDS: Actually, monkeygirl in the tree sliding down for real.
LILY: Which has become Pa-ool's nickname for me.
EDWARDS: Yes.
LILY: Monkeygirl.
EDWARDS: No wires, no nothing, this is the real deal. And actually when she turns around it's a real horse.
LILY: It's not the stuffed horse that we used for the other scene. Like the stuffed polar bear that they threw at us in the pilot.
EDWARDS: And this was all morning. Now this was an incredible horse, an untrained horse. The only black horse in Hawaii.
BONVILLAIN: It was dyed with about a hundred and something things of [Ununderstandable], wasn't it? Black dye?
LILY: Yeah, yeah.
EDWARDS: And what I said about Yunjin not taking a bad close-up? Same with Evie.
LILY: So this-
EDWARDS: Lighter training.
LILY: Yeah, lighter training, Paul had to teach me how to one-handed open a Zippo. That was, uh, something--what did you tell me, Paul? Every kid in-
EDWARDS: In America should be doing this soon, I don't know if it happened or not but with that trick--I learned that trick as a 13-year-old watching television.
LILY: When they first told me about my episode, Paul came up to me and said "Alright! Are you ready? First thing you gotta learn is how to open a Zippo with one hand. The second thing you gotta learn is how to ride a motorcycle."
EDWARDS: Now this guy was cast--he was basically the only choice. But you know those commercials where they go "Come to Texas, it's a whole 'nother place"? He's the voice.
LILY: Great shot. I love the way they pass.
BONVILLAIN: Kim Spencer did all these lights for his--this was not a kitchen.
LILY: There's your name Paul.
EDWARDS: Sounds like a hairdresser.
BONVILLAIN: Pa-ool. Call everyone the wrong-
LILY: Directed by Paul Edwards. For those people watching right now who don't know, Paul Edwards is our camera operator full-time and this is his very first time directing.
EDWARDS: This show.
LILY: This show, this is the show that was his very first experience as a director, and he-
EDWARDS: Wasn't.
LILY: And he, without being gratuitous, was brilliant.
EDWARDS: Well, bless you, they gave me another one.
LILY: Hopefully not my next one.
EDWARDS: I don't know. That was a source of great consternation.
LILY: "More vulnerability!"
EDWARDS: "More vulnerable!"
BONVILLAIN: "More vulnerable!" I'll be standing over here.
EDWARDS: Yes, my yelled out direction, vulnerability. There you go, rip the hand away. A continuing theme you'll notice throughout this episode is Evie's ripping her hand away. I wanted to make a point of that.
LILY: This was such a fun scene to be able to do because I had to learn to ride a motorcycle for this scene. The best part of my job is all things I have to learn to do for my job. I, uh...And it wasn't a kickstart bike, I was faking that part.
BONVILLAIN: And it wasn't even running right now. We pushed it out.
LILY: I know, I know!
BONVILLAIN: Because it was, why? Because it was-
LILY: Because we were too close, we were so close I would have run over the cameras. This one was really running. But when it was close-up we had somebody running behind the bike pushing me out of there!
BONVILLAIN: So that's interactive lighting, that's the cutout we did at the beach, and then you have the flames coming out. And we were sitting in your car listening to classical music-
