I'll try; I also couldn't hear everything everyone said, initially, so I'll be happy to listen to it again.
ETA: Full transcript:
Announcer: It's Wednesday, May 13th. Coming up, live, on 'The View,' 'Lost' stars, Michael Emerson and Jorge Garcia are revealing whether any baffling questions will be answered when they give you a sneek peak of the season finale.
Whoopi: Millions and millions of 'Lost' fans are counting the minutes till tonight's season finale and counting on them to answer a ton of questions. Take a look.
[shows clip of season finale]
Whoopi: Mm hm. Please welcome back Michael Emerson and Jorge Garcia. [they come out] So, guys, I'm just going to cut to the chase.
Jorge: Alright.
Whoopi: Do you know how it ends?
[audience laughs]
Whoopi: You know what I'm talking about.
Jorge: (unintelligble) ...or the whole big..." (I think he was asking whether she meant the season finale episode or the entire plot of 'Lost.')
Whoopi: The whole thing. Do you know?
Jorge: I haven't the slightest.
Joyce: You really don't...?
Michael: I have no idea and I'm happy not to have any idea.
Jorge: I know what I don't want it to be: I don't want it to be a dream; I don't want it to reset.
Elizabeth Hasselback: Oh, gosh. Reset...!
Jorge: You know? I don't want Jack to wake up in the bamboo, again, and be like, (imitating Jack in pain in the pilot, when he had the bamboo stuck in him) "Ahh," and then the crash has happened, again. Yeah, I don't want any of that.
Sherri Shepherd: You know, it's so funny, Jorge, because your character, Hurley...You went through so much this season: You were in a psych ward, then you were in prison, then you returned to the island, but you time-traveled back to the 1970's...I mean, you went through everything, but you say that tonight's episode is going to answer a lot of questions about Hurley. So, what's that? What is...?
Jorge: Well, you're going to know, like...Well, Hurley came back with the guitar case and so you'll...
Host: (attempts to help him explain) ...why...
Jorge: ...You'll know how he got on that plane and where the guitar case came from.
Host: Oh...
Elizabeth Hasselback: And then, Michael, as the evil leader of the others, you've left the island, you killed Locke, but now...then he's back from the dead; It seems as though there's that switch of power, again, right? So what's going to happen there?
Michael: Well, Ben is completely whipped now. I mean, he's...he hasn't any tools or resources left. He's a bit of a follower now. I-I can...
Elizabeth Hasselback: -Not for long. Can't be.
[Hosts start to voice their opinions; unintelligeble]
Elizabeth Hasselback: I don't believe that anything fits this.
Michael: It's probably fair to say that the wheels are still turning...
Elizabeth Hasselback: Yes.
Michael: And he's still looking for a break.
Elizabeth Hasselback: Yeah.
Host: You're creeping me out right now.
Jorge: (unitelligeble) ...a lot of (hazing?)...going on.
Whoopi: Let me ask you this. Now you say that tonight there's-there's going to be a lot of surprises that are really going to surprise a lot of people. What did you mean by that?
Michael: Well, it's-it's going to be a classic 'Lost' season finale, you know? There's going to be casualties, [audience gasps, people say, "Oh..."] I'm sorry to say.
Sherri Shepherd: Oh, man.
Michael: And you are going to meet some new characters you have...
Host: Oh...
Whoopi: New people?!
Michael: -That-that are going to be of interest-
Elizabeth Hasselback: New others? New others?
Michael: -to you, and uh-
Elizabeth Hasselback: Others or not Others?
Michael: And-and we have two teams of heroes in different years that are on dangerous and desperate missions and both of those arrive at sort of cataclismic conclusions.
Elizabeth Hasselback: So, you know nothing about what's really going to happen?
Michael: Well, I-I know one of them because I'm in one of them, but I don't know what the other is.
Elizabeth Hasselback: I want to know more.
Whoopi: You, know, can I ask you a question which has been burning in my mind? Where did the interracial couple go? Are they coming back?
Elizabeth Hasselback: Yeah!
Whoopi: Yeah! I mean, suddenly, I thought, "Mm! Look at it: A woman, a certain age, a black woman..." Then she disappeared![audience laughs]
Joyce: What happened? (says more, but unitelligeble)
Whoopi: All the black women want to know, "Where did she go?!"
[audience laughs, claps]
Jorge: Uh...stay tuned.
Host: ....(policital?) answer.
Elizabeth Hasselback: One of the flashbacks, we got to see you as a child and the child-the kid actor that plays...I mean, he really looks like you...
Host: Oh, wow.
Elizabeth Hasselback: What did you think when you saw him? Did you have to make the (intro.? ie: short for introduction)
Host: Did you look like that as a kid?
Michael: Well, I have those spectacles, like he has, and I think he's such a good actor and he-I guess he's looked at me playing the role because he does some things sort of the way I do.
Elizabeth Hasselback: That stare, that sort of (rumorix? rumorist?) stare.
[audience laughs]
Jorge: ...A million-mile stare. He's got that down pretty good.
Joyce: Tell us about the weird experience you had with the Japanese tourists.
Michael: Oh, I was...shocking...I ran into a couple and they had a baby in a stroller and they took one look at me and started jumping up and down- laughing, weeping, holding each other-and uh, pretty soon, the-the father grabs the sleeping child out of the stroller, holds it up in my face and says, "His name Ben!"[audience claps and laughs] What...?
Jorge: Awesome.
Michael: What-what kind of parents would name their child-
Joyce: I don't know.
Michael: -after a villian on an American T.V show?
Whoopi: Not just any villian: after one of the greatest, well-written -I know this is the wrong phrase- but one of the best villians in ages! There hasn't been someone like Ben on for a very long time, where you're like, (imitating a fan's thoughts)"I hope you're on next week so I could see something happen to you!" You know? You don't want him [Ben] to disappear!
Sherri Shepherd: You know, Michael, it's funny that your wife, actress Carrie Preston- you know, I've worked with before...now Carrie is in the audience and she is a regular on 'True Blood.' Now she tapes in L.A, you're in Hawaii...How the heck do you guys see each other?
Carrie: We don't.
Elizabeth Hasselback: You don't see Michael?
Carrie: No, we fly back and fourth, we see each other. I mean, it's a logistical nightmare, but we-we've got it figured out.
Michael: We have a two-week rule.
Carrie: Two-week rule, yeah.
Sherri Shepherd: What's that?
Carrie: We don't-we don't go longer than two weeks without seeing each other-
Michael: After fourteen days, someone must get on a plane.
Carrie: -even if-for a day...
Joyce: How long have you been married?
Michael: 10-
Carrie/Michael: 10 years.
Sherri Shepherd: Ahhh!
[audience claps]
Joyce: They have lives; They have real lives. Jorge used to be a stand-up comic, I heard.
Jorge: Yeah, I did a little in L.A, kind of-a lot of coffee shops, bringing out my same friends, coming out to see me kind of stuff...
Joyce: But you dropped it. Do you like acting better?
Jorge: Uh, well I was always an actor, first, in my head, I thought. I didn't have the discipline to do the same six minutes every night.
Joyce: Who says you have to do that?
Jorge: Well, I-
Whoopi: Well, that's part of what the-
Jorge: -I saw people doing it.
Whoopi: -comic has to do, but I'm glad you didn't because we're digging (slang for "like") you here.
Jorge: Thanks.
Whoopi: Now, listen, ya'll. The two-hour season finale airs-of 'Lost'- airs tonight at 9pm, right here on ABC. Watch it!
[audience cheers and claps]
Whoopi: We'll be right back.
I now understand why diction is so important, why theater actors have to practice it and make sure the audience can hear and understand everything they are saying. It's irritating and disappointing when you can't hear someone speak clearly.
Thanks, Edith. I put their names in, now.
