LOST - Favorite 6 8 Screencaps: 1x05

CHRISTIAN SHEPHARD: I had a boy on my table today.  I don’t know, maybe a year younger than you.  He had a bad heart.  It got real hairy real fast.  And everybody’s looking at your old man to make decisions.  And I was able to make those decisions because, at the end of the day, after the boy died, I was able to wash my hands and come home to dinner.  I don’t know, watch a little Carol Burnett, laugh till my sides hurt… How can I do that, hmm?  Even when I fail, how do I do that, Jack?  Because I have what it takes.  Don’t choose, Jack.  Don’t decide.  You don’t want to be a hero, you don’t want to try and save everyone because when you fail… you just don’t have what it takes.
