BOONE
He took no notice to Kate as he was right in the middle of being burned at the stake, he continued to explain himself, "Someone had to take responsibility for it, or it would have never lasted!" he shouted in panic.

CHARLIE
And who said that 'someone' had to be you, Charlie thought inwardly. "Shut up!" he shouted, pushing Boone again.

"Leave him alone!" he shouted over the entire group.

***Ethan enters***
He seemed to have entered just in time for another argument. Again, a mystery why Ana had singled him out. Everyone was at each other's throat, not just him. He looked to Jack, who'd silenced the group of bickering people.

BEN
I turned in fright to see Jack. The the loudness of his voice hit me so hard I wasn't able to process what he had said right away. But as I looked over to see Jack, I was suddenly calmed by his presences. I was certainly glad he hadn't gotten himself killed while he was gone.

JACK
He paused for moment as he examined every last individuals face. It seem everyone had gone silent and were now looking to Jack. "Its been 6 days, and we're all still waiting," he said calmly, "Waiting for someone to come...But what if they don't?" Jack asked rhetorically as he raise his arms as a shrug.

Taliya Taliya walked up to the commotion. Something about water was all she could pick up. Jack, the doctor, had started in on another speech of his. She listened silently.
Jamie Jamie looked at everyone. What made things so difficult to understand? Boone was only trying to help. The doctor would help and no one would cause a fuss. So why now?

WALTER
Walter came to the gathering, but his mind tuned out the noise. He instead heard a piece of music he had heard many years ago, when he was young and fit, like these people. His eyes scanned the crowd. He moved from face to face remembering the features of each person, observing their actions...how they moved. You could learn so much from just watching people. Then it struck him. Something was out of place.
War gives people instincts... something you never lose. Walter shook his head and looked around again... trying to figure out what was giving him this lump in his throat. He looked from face to face rapidly...

SAWYER
He skirted around the gathering of people, seeing that a desperate-looking Boone and an angry-looking Charlie seemed to be at the center of it. But for now, everyone's attention was focused on the doc. Seemed he had the pulpit. He folded his arms across his chest and leaned against a piece of wreckage jutting out of the sand, eager to hear the next bit of Jack's sermon on the mount.

JACK
"We need to stop waiting, we need to start figuring things out," Jack continued as he walked past the others to the near center of the group so he could face them all. "A woman died this morning just going for a swim, and he tried to save her," Jack said pointing to Boone, "...and now you're about to crucify him?" He asked looking mainly at Charlie, "We can't do this," he exclaimed with hand gestures to refer to there current dilemma, but also to everything that they had done since the crash. "Every man for himself is not going to work."
He paused for a moment before pacing back and forth as he stared at the ground, "It's time to start organizing. We need to figure out how we're going to survive here," Jack knew it wasn't what they wanted to here, that they wanted to continue to believe that rescue was coming soon, but they had to face reality. How long until they all excepted that rescue wasn't coming. Not while they just sat on the beach waiting.
"Now I found water, fresh water up in the valley, I'll take a group in at first light," Jack said pointing into the jungle, "If you don't want to come, then find another way to contribute," he continued, looking mainly at Sawyer. He paused again as he let it all sink in. "Last week most of us were strangers," he said looking everyone, "But we're all here now, and 'God' knows how long we're going to be here." He swallowed before he continued, "But if we can't live together." Jack shook his head before continuing.
"We're going to die alone."

KATE
Kate was startled at Jack's raised voice when he'd first reappeared from the jungle. She felt such a relief wash over her at seeing he was alive and well. She moved nearer him and watched him intently along with the rest of the group as he gave a speech, voicing everyone's fears and addressing how important it was that everyone worked together. It was a good speech that seemed to give everyone hope, even herself. As for the group heading out first light, she was most definitely there.
HEIDI
Like most everyone else, I was startled by Jack's booming authoritative voice. My attention had been drawn to the scene with Boone so I hadn't even seen Jack emerge from the jungle. I was glad to see he was okay as, like most, I seemed to trust his decisions. I was glad that someone was taking a stand and voiced how ridiculous all this fighting was. He was so right in all he'd said though I wasn't too thrilled at how his wording insinuated that rescue was not coming. I wasn't ready to accept that yet. As for volunteering for the first light group, my feelings of uselessness thus far was beginning to outweigh my fear of the jungle, not to mention how antsy I was getting at being stuck in one location for six days. It would be a good idea to offer to join the trek into the jungle to bring back water.

Gwen listened intently to Jack's speech, relieved that he'd returned with some sort of renewed dedication to lead them. She looked over at Locke to gauge his reaction, since he'd been so sure that Jack would return. They were all going to have to work together now. Which meant putting aside past differences. Because there were much worse things out there in the jungle.

WALTER
The old man turned and walked away silently, heading away from the group.
"G"
Meanwhile, G poked his head in, just in time for the speech, observing what was going on.

Nikki had been searching through several piles of unclaimed luggage when Jack began to speak, and joined the group that had formed around him as his words flowed pefectly as if he had been rehearsing them for weeks.
Paulo stood patiently beside her, hands on hips and listening to each and every word.
"But if we can't live together, we're going to die alone"
The words sent an alarming shiver through him, though his face remained unphased.

ROSE
Rose listened to Jack's, words he was a good person a caring man. She looked around the group seeing if the speech had affected them in the way it had affected her. Despite his message, and her own insecurities Rose still had the feeling that her husband was still out there.
RUBY
Ruby looked over noticing Rose, who she hadn't talk to in a few days, she had always been kind from the moment they met in the airport. But Ruby's behaviour (self diagnosed island stres) had may her snap. She looked up at Jack, although she hadnt talked to him much she liked him, maybe it was the doctor thing. Either way she always thought well of him and was glad to listen to what he had to say. Unlike some others on the island.
For a second her mind turned back to the previous days goings ons and Joanna-who although never knew had thought about since her death. Itwas closely followed by guilt and regret. But then again most people were thinking the same thing.
She looked over to spot G, he seemed to be taking everything well compared to others in the group.

BEN
I listened to Jack's speech without uttering a word, which it seemed like that's what everyone else was doing. I began thinking how lucky we were to have Jack, and without him, we would certainly be lost.
"But if we can't live together, we're going to die alone."
"Wooh..." I muttered to myself. It the words hit me like a sledge hammer. They just had so much meaning to it. It was like some great line in an amazing poem. I was literally speechless, it had so much effect on me. It was like reality slapping me in the face.
BOONE
Boone shut his mouth and lowered his head. He had messed up, and now there was no fixing. He just sighed and headed away from the rest of the group to sit in the sand by himself.
JACK
He hadn't realized the impact that his words had on the others until he was finished. Everything fell silent. Jack looked over at Kate, and caught eyes with her. He had a look of pain and sorrow. He looked around at the rest of the group with the same look on his face. Jack nodded slowly. Before he lowered his head and walked along with the departing survivors.

GWEN
Seeing that Charlie and Hurley were attempting to ration out the water that had been recovered, she said a quick goodnight to Locke and walked over to help them. As she passed Jack, she gently laid a hand on his shoulder. "It's good to have you back, doctor," she said with a reassuring smile, and then continued on her way.
SAWYER
"So," he began as he strolled past a sulking Boone, "how's it feel?"

BOONE
He could here Sawyer's voice. He didn't turn around, Boone just replied with a cold and emotionless voice as he continued to stare out at the horizon, "How's what feel?" He was almost afraid to ask, he wasn't exactly looking for some cruel one liner, but at this point, Boone just didn't care anymore.

SAWYER
"Taking my place at the top of everyone's most hated list," he replied, looking down at the kid. "It sucks, don't it?" Maybe he'd finally get the idea that helping these people would only end up hurting himself. Then Sawyer kept on walking.

TALIYA
Taliya shook her head at the Southern man, whom she'd heard was called Sawyer, and the comment he'd made. She went towards him, shoving her dark hair over her shoulders.
"That was real nice," she said with sarcasm loaded on the last words. "You couldn't have let him have a break?"
