Sayid Does Not Believe Henry Is An Innocent Man...Apr 14 '07 (Updated Apr 24 '10) Write an essay on this topic.The Bottom Line If there's something fishy happening on the island, Sayid's the one to sniff it out... I'm trying to fill in the gaps in my LOST parodies by turning my attention to characters I've largely neglected thus far. One of the most glaring of these is Sayid, whose only appearance was in my very first attempt. I guess he hasn't really grabbed my interest the way some of the others have, largely because he's so darn solemn all the time, but he's an intriguing character and actually one of the reasons I think the Others, or at least some of the Others, aren't so bad. Right off the bat they get us to sympathize with someone who was one of "the bad guys", and it makes us more inclined to consider how apparent enemies might be viewed differently if we looked at things from their perspective. Sayid is a good man who has done bad things, and though he is mostly ashamed of the harm he inflicted upon others when he felt he had little choice, that experience has hardened him, making him more willing to resort to desperate measures in the desperate times the castaways face. This parody of Billy Joel's An Innocent Man features Sayid at loggerheads with Jack over his desire to use dubious methods to extract information from Sawyer, Henry and Juliet. A Militant Man How can he steal from the sick and the poor? I'd say that Sawyer has plundered enough. It is his choice to be vilified Although I don't understand why. He might give in, Jack. It shouldn't take much When there's danger in breaking all the rules. I'm guessing you know what must be done So Shannon will not have to die. I need your presence, and that's enough help. I'll do the dirty work all by myself. Oh, yes, it's dirty, But I'm not above Giving Sawyer a shove. I'll gladly try it if it helps her heal. I'm not above using torturing To restore her health if I can. I know he took them, though he hasn't told; I think my torment ought to loosen his tongue. I'm only able to make men cry Because I am a militant man. I am a militant man. Oh, yes, I am. You people may be too quick to believe A shifty stranger whose heart could be dark. I'm betting he has a secret to tell. You'd do well to recall we're at war. They murdered Scott and stole Walt in the night; They kidnapped Claire and left Charlie for dead. I'm sorry this makes you queasy, but to trust him, We must be secure. We have been living in fear, but today We might make progress if you let me stay. I am prepared to use pliers and knives, But I'll keep him alive. I'm not about to be ruthless like them. I only need to persuade him a while. If he aids us, then I'll still my hand. If he's the one who can start shedding light On all the problems plaguing our small clan, His knowledge should be the perfect excuse For abuse by a militant man. I am a militant man. Oh, yes, I am A militant man. What makes you think that Juliet is all right? She's one of them, and I suspect that she might Be on a mission. Jack, how do we know That she wasn't let go To do some spying, unsuspected by us? Would you not love to discover her part In the Others' well-guarded grand plan? I'm only asking to hear it from her. Was leaving her idea or was it his? I'm afraid Ben will pay her to lie Because I am a militant man. I am a militant man. Oh, yes, I am A militant man. Oh, oh, oh, oh...
