"Sayid's a zombie and Claire's nuts. She gave up her ticket when she tried to kill Kate. And I ain't gonna let that happen again."
- Sawyer, The Last Recruit
The Claire of season six is quite a bit different from the Claire the castaways came to know and love. Here, Sawyer tries to convince Hurley that she's not worth bringing along in their great escape, to the tune of Carly Simon's You're So Vain. (The above quote is from a conversation with Jack, but I figure his conversation with Hurley would have been similar...)
Claire’s Insane
She showed up with her rifle
And stitched up Jin in her creepy hut.
But then he flinched as she axed that Other guy.
She got ‘im right in the gut.
Well, it’s only smart to fear her now
‘Cause she’s a gnarly nut.
Lounged here with Locke for too long, and she lost it.
Clearly, she lost it.
Yeah,
Claire’s insane
And horribly in need of a hairbrush.
She’s insane, (She’s insane),
And bringin’ her along would just scare us,
Scare us, scare us...
Well, we knew her several years ago.
Back then, she was so naive.
Oh, but now we are stuck with a crazy Claire
With homicide up her sleeve.
Now, I know you’re really big on love.
You’re eager to believe
People can change, but I’m not gonna chance it.
Not gonna chance it.
No,
Claire’s insane.
She hangs around with skeletal babies.
She’s insane. (She’s insane!)
I wonder if that thing gave her rabies,
Rabies, rabies, rabies!
Think she can change? Well, I’m not gonna chance it.
Not gonna chance it.
No,
Claire’s insane.
Apparently she’s also Jack’s sister.
She’s insane. (She’s insane!)
I guess it’s lucky he never kissed her,
Kissed her, kissed her!
Did you hear she went after Kate with a knife?
Sayid, he didn’t step in.
He could not be bothered with a threatened friend’s life.
I’d say the Dark Side is fixin’ to win.
Well, I know we’re runnin’ out of time,
And Hugo, we don’t need
A chick who’s unhinged or a kid-killin’ zombie,
Kid-killin’ zombie.
No,
Claire’s insane.
Yeah, those two gave their tickets up early.
She’s insane. (Insane!)
We can’t succeed with someone so squirrelly,
Squirrelly, squirrelly, squirrelly!
Claire’s insane
And horribly in need of a hairbrush.
Claire’s insane
And horribly in need of a hairbrush.
Claire’s insane...
You're So Vain

Yep, laughing! :-) I never really liked the direction in which they took Claire, but at least your song helps me chuckle about it. And you've definitely got Sawyer's voice down pat.
You know, I'm starting to realize something now that we're a few months past the finale...the unsatisfying ending left me with a feeling that things didn't really end. I miss these characters!
Thanks, Beth! Sawyer's gotta be my favorite voice to slip into. He's just so snarky...
I miss them too. I'm really curious about what's going to be in the epilogue, though my guess is not much. Might get a couple Dharma answers, but I suspect it'll be mostly comic relief. On the other hand, I love the idea of getting what amounts to a 12-minute-long Hurley and Ben comedy sketch!
