The Lost Lowdown

So. Miles wants Ben to give him $3.2 million? My reaction was the same as Ben's. Why exactly $3.2 million. I'm wondering if this is another code. We know the freightees like their code phrases.

Jacob: Then why'd Miles use the damn code? Yeah, you remember when Miles told Ben he wanted $3.2 million, well Ben doesn't have $3.2 million. That's what we're supposed to say if we get captured and locked in a boathouse. Like right now, Kate, you would try to extort me for $3.2 million, you get it?

Kate: Jack. JACK. JACK!

LOST.

That's great.

I dunno, maybe everyone reads too much into that. My first thought was that his first payer offered him 3 million and he just raised it by 200k.

Yeh I tend to agree with Janic, asking for 3 million dollars wouldn't have been interesting, and asking for 4 million we would've noted the Numbers, but 3.2 creates more talk amongst fans, I think that's all.
