Which character said the line, "There's a new sheriff in town, boys"?

Sawyer
Sawyer's rural Southern accent, selfishness, machismo, and use of abrasive nicknames belied his sophisticated and tender side as an avid reader and a caring lover—elements of his personality that started to become more apparent as he spent more time on the Island.

These numbers had broad implications on the show: they corresponded with one of the final candidates to replace Jacob as protector of the Island; they formed the coefficients in an equation that predicted mankind's extinction; they formed the serial number of the hatch for a station the Initiative built on the island; they also used the numbers as required input for the station computer protocol.

What was used to surround and protect the Barracks on the Island?
Statues built by an ancient tribe of natives
A high-frequency sonar barrier
The Sonic Barrier surrounds the Barracks and blocks any attempt to pass through them. If a person tries to enter through the field a sonic wave is emitted which results in the individual suffering a cerebral hemorrhage. The fence can be deactivated using a code which was changed every day (according to the orientation film a young Ben and Roger watched upon arrival to the island). The fence intensity seemed to be controllable at a continuous scale going from red to green to black, where green was presumably a repelling but less harmful effect.
Unexplained, dangerous alien artifacts

A short comedy show
Golf course

Right before Jack was ready to putt, some of the other survivors placed bets on whether or not Jack would make the putt. The final bet came from then-hated Sawyer, who put up a tube of sunscreen. The others looked at him in disgust, then Kate said, "I'll take that action," followed by Boone taking the bet.
