Michael comforts Sun and they almost kiss!
[Jin is at the shore with a fishing pole. Sun is watching him from the woods. She goes into the jungle. She looks at her California driver’s license and starts to dig a hole to bury it. Michael comes running by.]
Michael
Vincent! Vincent! Oh, hey I’m sorry. I was looking for Vincent. I didn’t mean to scare you. You ok?
Sun
Yes, I’m, I’m fine. I just, I just needed a moment by myself.
Michael
Hey, you sure you’re ok? [Sun looks down. Michael looks down too. He sees her license on the ground and picks it up].
Sun
[crying] I was, this is…
Michael
No, no, no, you don’t have to explain. [He hands the license to her].
Sun
I was going to leave him. I was going to leave Jin, and start a new life in America. But I changed my mind at the airport because I was afraid.
Michael
Hey, hey, it’s, it’s, it’s ok. [He holds her hands]. We’re getting off this island any day now. Things will change.
Sun
No. It’s too late. This place. It’s my punishment. It’s my destiny.
Michael
No… Maybe you should talk to him.
Sun
He’s not the man I fell in love with.
[Michael hugs her.]
Michael
Maybe he just needs a little time. It’s been hard on all of us. It’s ok. It’ll be ok.
[They pull apart and stare at each other. Michael’s hand is on Sun’s face. They lean in to kiss, but before they do, Vincent comes up and barks and they back away.]
Sun
I must go. I’m sorry. [Sun runs away].
Michael
Uh… [Watches her leave]. Come here, Vincent. Come on.
