No, that's a good point.
I think the problem with "please" was that the first Sawyer knew about the inhalers was Boone going through his stash, without explanation, and it just escalated from that point.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

But when a girl's life is at stake? Not so much with the politeness.
Seems like you would find out pretty quick if please would word, and could always try the more time-consuming torture afterwards.

This is what happened. What bothers me is that Jack and Kate, and Sayid for that matter, each strike me as both smart enough and perceptive enough to realize that 'please' would be more likely to be effective with Sawyer than torture. Also, that trying it would be faster. It especially bothered me that Kate didn't try. IRC, she tried using please with Sawyer before, after non-effective begging, to good effect. I can't remember exactly when that happened, though, so I could be wrong on that one.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

That would be a twist. Twists are good. So are comfy pillows.

Actually, I don't think know whether he had the inhalers. Wonder if someone else took them.

I wonder why no one called him on it. You'd think that they would have thought to make it wet, at least, if they didn't intend people to notice it not being wet. Unless they are like me, and hate to damage books. But I doubt that's the case.

Eh, I don't think he's hiding the inhalers. I mean, yeah, not a nice guy, but ... withholding inhalers from someone who (conceivably) could die without them? I dunno. He doesn't strike me as that kind of evil. What benefit is SnickerBitch's death to him (and I do think he's a cost/benefit analysis kind of guy)? Yeah she's annoying, but I don't think so.
