Ben:I'm sorry. It all happened so fast.Something happened to me when I was on the Isle with Uma.
A connection.
Mal:What are you saying?
Ben:I'm saying--
Uma:It was love.(giggles) It was.I just-- I realized how alike Ben and I are, you know?
Ben:We are.
Uma:(laughs) I know.
Ben:You're so beautiful.
Mal:Ben.Ben.Did you go back for her?
Uma:He didn't have to.I dove through the barrier before it closed, and I'm an excellent swimmer.
Ben:You are.
Uma:Aw, thank you. (laughs) [to Mal] Listen, Mal. I just really want to thank you, I do, for everything.Thank you. Thank you so much.(laughs)
[Uma then hugs Mal who was shocked and didn't know what to say]
Ben:Don't you see, Mal? You were right. You knew that we weren't meant to be together. That's why you never told me that you loved me.
Uma:(sighs) Thank you.
