[Flashback of an old radio playing 3
Dog Night - "Shambala". As a young boy, Hurley is walking down the
steps of his house carrying a red toolbox. He takes it to a Camaro that
is up on blocks and opens the hood. His father comes down the steps
carrying a duffel bag and walks over to the car]
David Reyes: You got this thing running yet Buddy?
Hurley: Nah, but I got your tools all set.
David Reyes: Let's see if we can get this thing started ok?
Hurley: I thought we needed a new carburetor?
David Reyes: Well, maybe we don't. Come on, slide behind the wheel. We'll fire this up.
[Hurley and his father get in the car. David hands Hurley the keys to the car but, Hurley
is reluctant to take them]
David Reyes: What's the matter? Go ahead.
[Hurley
blows out a breath and inserts the key into the ignition. He whispers
something to himself and tries to start the car. It barely turns over
and does not start]
Hurley: It's...it's stupid. Without a new carburetor it's not going to work!
David Reyes: Having
hope is never stupid. You've gotta believe good things will happen and
then they will. You understand what I'm saying? In this world, son,
you've gotta make your own luck. All right? Come on.
[David and Hurley get out of the car]
Hurley: Well, what do you want to fix today?
David Reyes: We're
going to have to put that on hold for a little while, because, uh, I
gotta go to Vegas. You know...I've got some work out there.
Hurley: What about the road trip?
David Reyes: Well the Grand Canyon will still be there when I get back, Little Dude. [Chuckles] Hey, I got something for you!
[David hands Hurley a candy bar]
Hurley: I'm not supposed to, Mom says.
David Reyes: Live a little Hugo, it's just a candy bar, ok? All right, I'll be back before you know it. All right?
Hurley: All right.
David Reyes: Hold down the fort? You're my man? All right.
[David
gets on a motorcycle and leaves as Hurley watches. From the second
story window can be seen Hurley's mother watching sadly. Hurley unwraps
the candy bar and begins eating it. Cut to scene of Hurley talking on
the beach at Libby's graveside]
Hurley: So
then, the others take the bags off our heads and we're, like, on the
other side of the island. And...they take Jack, Kate and Sawyer
someplace and they...send me back to warn everybody to stay away. Which
I did...and...now everyone's freaked out. With them gone, and what
happened to Eko...they're all scared. And I'm scared. But then,
I've...been scared most of my time here anyway. Except when I'm with
you. I miss you...Libby.
[Cut to shot of Charlie on the beach shaving. He nicks himself with the razor]
Charlie: Bloody hell.
[Hurley walks up behind Charlie - we see him in his mirror]
Hurley: Dude, you ok?
Charlie: Peachy.
Hurley: Really. Because, you've kinda been moping the last few...
Charlie: No, it's not worth talking about Hurley, ok?
Hurley: Dude, you can tell me anything.
Charlie: Desmond...said I was going to die. He...e...e tells me he has these flashes, visions...whatever. And in them, I always die.
[Hurley stands there looking at Charlie and does not respond]
Charlie: So this is the part where...you tell me it's ridiculous, don't be daft, he's a nutter.
Hurley: I think he might be right. And I think it might be my fault.
Charlie: Your fault?
Hurley: I'm kind of cursed. Death finds me dude.
[Vincent
runs up barking. In his mouth is a mummified human arm. Dangling from
the hand on the arm is a key attached to a lucky rabbit's foot]
Charlie: Vincent? Is that an arm?
Hurley: Here Vincent! Come here! Vincent!
[Vincent turns and runs away into the jungle]
Hurley: I think we need to get that!
[Hurley runs after Vincent]
Charlie: Yeah! Chase the dog with the skeletal arm into the creepy jungle! You be my guest!
Hurley: Uh, Ok. If I'm not back in 3 hours, tell somebody!
[Hurley chases Vincent for a good distance into the jungle]
Hurley: Vincent! Vincent, come here!
[The chase continues until Vincent finally stops]
Hurley: Vincent!
[Vincent
comes up to Hurley and drops the arm at his feet. Hurley goes over to
the arm and pulls the key and rabbit's foot from the dead hand. Vincent
runs a bit more into the jungle and barks]
Hurley: Vincent.
[Hurley walks toward the spot where Vincent is barking. He sees an overturned vehicle overgrown with jungle vegetation]
Hurley: Awesome!
[Flashback
to Mr. Clucks chicken restaurant. Hurley is standing outside the
restaurant being interviewed by a reporter from Action 8 News. With Hurley is Hurley's
ex-boss Randy. A camera man is filming the scene]
Tricia Tanaka: It's
everyone's fantasy - winning the lottery. Untold millions falling into
your lap overnight. What would you do with all that money? Well, one
such lucky winner recently bought...a chicken shack. I'm Tricia Tanaka
with Hugo Reyes, winner of a record 114 million dollars, outside Mr.
Clucks Chicken Shack in Diamond Bar which will be having its grand
reopening tomorrow. So, Hugo, I think the question on everyone's mind
is - why did you buy Mr. Clucks.
Hurley: [uncomfortable in front of the camera] Uh. I...like chicken?
Tricia Tanaka: [turning
away from Hurley toward Randy] Um, also with us, is uh, Hugo's former
boss and now employee, Randy Nations. [turning back to Hurley] That's
probably every working stiff's uh, fantasy! Isn't it Mr. Reyes?
[Hurley shrugs his shoulders but doesn't say anything]
Tricia Tanaka: Um...ok. So, Hugo, tell us what else you've done since you got on your lucky streak.
Hurley: Actually...I've
kind of had some bad luck too. My, uh, Grandpa Tito died of a heart
attack. And, the first house I bought my mom burned down. My friend
Johnny ran off with my girlfriend Starla. Oh, and this guy jumped off
my accountant's roof. There...
Tricia Tanaka: Cut!
[The camera man quits filming]
Tricia Tanaka: What the hell was that?! It's a puff piece, Mr. Reyes. Do you know what that is?
Hurley: Yeah. Sorry Tricia Tanaka.
Tricia Tanaka: Um, uh. Do you mind if we go inside and, uh, shoot some B role.
Hurley: Oh, I don't know.
Randy Nations: [stepping in] Yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course they can! I mean, he's just superstitious, you know the ribbon isn't cut yet.
Tricia Tanaka: [to
the camera man] Ok, let's go. [walking into the restaurant with the
camera man] Oh! God, I hate this! We always get the stupid stories!
[Hurley and Randy walk away from the restaurant to where a Mr. Clucks delivery truck is parked and begin unloading all the boxes]
Hurley: Hey! Are you sure it's ok?
Randy Nations: Yeah. Relax.
Hurley: The safety guards are on the fryers?
Randy Nations: Those fryers are stone cold, all right? We don't even start cooking until tomorrow.
[A deep but far away boom is heard and then a screaming noise gets louder. Cut to interior of Mr. Clucks]
Tricia Tanaka: [speaking to the camera man] ....and then pan through the...
[Cut
to shot of Hurley and Randy looking into the sky. They see a meteor
hurtling straight down toward the restaurant. It impacts and destroys
the building and sends Hurley and Randy flying backwards behind the
van. Hurley rolls over and is covered in debris. He looks over at the
restaurant and it is in rubbles and on fire. Cut to shot of Hurley in
the jungle walking around the overturned vehicle. It is a blue and
white VW Microbus van. Inside the van is a mummified skeleton wearing
DHARMA coveralls from the Swan station. Hurley laughs softly. Cut to
shot of Paulo looking through the food stores on the beach]
Paulo: Well, we are out of DHARMA oat bars.
Nikki: Already?
Paulo: Yep.
Nikki: Did you check behind the powdered milk?
Paulo: Yeah, it's not there.
Nikki: Then I guess we're out of them.
Sun: [speaking to Jin in English] Will you pass me the box of cereal?
[Jin looks at her confused]
Sun: Will you...pass me...the cereal?
Jin: [Says something in Korean]
Sun: From now on I will only speak to you in English. It's how you will learn.
Jin: [Says something in Korean]
Sun: It will be hard at first...
Jin: [Says something in Korean]
[Hurley comes running to the beach from the jungle]
Hurley: Hey! Hey! Hey, everyone! Hey!
Nikki: Hurley! What is it?
Paulo: Is it The Others?
[Hurley makes it to the small crowd now gathered and is out of breath]
Claire: Are you ok?
Charlie: What's going on man?
Hurley: [Waving the keys with the rabbit's foot, out of breath] Car! I found a car. Tipped over, in the jungle.
Nikki: You found a...car?
Hurley: And we can totally fix it! And get it going again! It's not far, come on!
[The group gathered begin looking at each other as though Hurley has lost his mind]
Paulo: Why do we need to start a car?
Hurley: Because...it'll
be fun! We could all use some fun! I mean, after everything that's
happened. We need it. [looking at Charlie] Especially you, dude. So
who's with me?
[Everyone begins turning and walking away]
Paulo: Well, I've...got to get some bananas. Sorry, Hurley.
Charlie: I don't think so, Hurley.
[Paulo pulls Nikki back]
Nikki: Sorry Hurley.
Hurley: [Becoming desperate] Come on! Anyone! We're going to drive it! Who's coming?
[Jin
is the only person left but he appears not to understand what is going
on. Hurley walks over to Jin and pats him on the shoulder]
Hurley: Thanks dude.
[Jin smiles, but still looks uncomprehending. Hurley laughs]
Hurley: You have no idea what you volunteered for do you?
[Jin laughs]
Hurley: [Still laughing] Come on.
[Cut to Sawyer and Kate walking in the jungle trying to make their way back to the beach]
Sawyer: Are we there yet?
Kate: If we are where I think we are...then our beach should be just through those trees. We'll be home in about 5 minutes.
Sawyer: Try to contain your excitement, Freckles.
Kate: Forgive me if I'm not excited about explaining why there is only 2 of us coming back, James.
Sawyer: Well, maybe they should explain why they ain't come looking for us. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Locke...
[Sawyer steps on a dart lying on the ground]
Sawyer: Ow! Aww!
Kate: What happened?
Sawyer: I stepped on something. Son of a bitch!
Kate: Here, let me see.
Kate: Looks like a...dart.
Sawyer: How the hell did it get out here?
Kate: All right, just relax your foot for a second. I'm going to pull it out. On the count of 3. Ready? 1...
[Kate pulls the dart from Sawyer's foot]
Sawyer: Ow! I thought you said 3?
Kate: [Smiling] Yeah, well, anticipation is the worst part. I thought I would spare you.
[Sawyer and Kate sit together for a moment and look at each other]
Kate: You know, all you have to do is say "Sorry". We could start again. Give each other a clean slate.
Sawyer: [Chuckles] Slate? Like on Little House?
Kate: What?
Sawyer: Little House on the Prairie? Laura Ingalls used to write on this little chalk board at school...
Kate: [Laughing] You call it "Little House"?
Sawyer: [Defending himself] I had mono when I was a kid! I missed 2 months of school. We only got one channel in my trailer.
Kate: [Seriously] What are we even talking about?
[Sawyer gets up and starts walking away]
Sawyer: [Under his breath] We ain't talking about nothing.
Kate: James!
Sawyer: And I ain't got nothing to be sorry for.
Kate: So that's how it's going to be?
[Kate walks away]
Kate: Welcome home Sawyer.
Sawyer: [Under his breath] Welcome home, Kate.
[Sawyer
and Kate walk out onto the beach and are noticed by everyone else.
There is a big reunion with hugs and smiles. Sawyer looks over at Kate
wistfully and looks away. Kate looks at Sawyer and then looks down
sadly. Flashback to Hurley entering his house. He is still covered in
dirt and dust from the meteor hitting the chicken restaurant]
Carmen Reyes: Hugo! Is that you Hugo?
[His mother comes down the staircase and sees Hurley]
Carmen Reyes: Oh my god! What happened?
Hurley: Tricia Tanaka is dead.
Carmen Reyes: What?
Hurley: Mr. Clucks...got hit by a meteor. Or an asteroid. I don't know the difference, but...it's gone.
Carmen Reyes: That's crazy.
Hurley: It's not crazy. It's the lottery money. I'm cursed. And now Tricia Tanaka's dead, and her camera dude, and it's all my fault!
[Carmen slaps Hurley]
Hurley: Ow!
Carmen Reyes: It was an accident!
Hurley: It's not an accident. It is a curse! There's only one way to stop it. I have to go to Australia.
Carmen Reyes: Again with Australia.
Hurley: That's where the numbers came from. Lenny, in the institution? He told me.
Carmen Reyes: Hugo. Hugo, wait. I can prove to you you're not cursed.
Hurley: You can?
Carmen Reyes: Yes. Come here with me. I...I have to show you something.
[Carmen leads Hurley to another room in the house where his father is waiting]
David Reyes: Hey! Hugo!
Carmen Reyes: After 17 years...your father has returned.
David Reyes: [Chuckling] Hey...ahh. Your mom wasn't kidding about those candy bars. [Laughing] Just kidding.
[Cut
to shot of Hurley and Jin looking inside the overturned van at the
body. Hurley can see a nametag on the coveralls that reads "Roger Work
Man"]
Hurley: Poor...[Looking closer] Roger. Sorry about your arm dude.
[Jin walks around to the back of the van]
Jin: Hurley! [Pointing at the back hatch saying something in Korean] In! In.
Hurley: Totally! Let's check it out.
[Hurley opens the back hatch of the van. Inside are stacks of DHARMA Initiative Beer and Light Beer]
Hurley: Dude. Roger was on a beer run.
[Jin laughs and then goes over to the side of the van. He mimes pulling something up]
Jin: [Says something in Korean]
Hurley: Oh, man. I wish I could do charades. You want to what?
Jin: [More miming, says something in Korean]
Hurley: Oh, you want to take Roger out?
Jin: [More miming, says something in Korean]
Hurley: And then...turn it over? Cool! [yelling loudly] I understand!
[Hurley and Jin climb onto the side of the van to pull Roger from the window]
Hurley: Ok. On 3. 1. 2. 3!
[Hurley and Jin yank Roger's mummified body up through the window, breaking off Roger's head in the process]
Hurley: We'll get that later.
[Cut to shot of beach. Desmond is working on the tarp for his tent. Charlie walks up behind him]
Charlie: So when's it going to happen?
Desmond: When's what going to happen?
Charlie: Don't play stupid with me, brother.
Desmond: I was drunk. You know if I said anything...
Charlie: I have a right to know when I'm going to die!
Desmond: It doesn't work like that.
Charlie: What doesn't work like that?
[Sawyer walks up]
Sawyer: Hey! Oliver Twist! Where the hell's my stuff!
Charlie: What stuff?
Sawyer: Ah, you know good and damn well what stuff! I had books, food, porno, a bottle of scotch.
Desmond: Aye, uh...apologies for the scotch, mate.
Sawyer: You drank it?!
Desmond: Well, to be fair, there was uh...there was 3 of us.
Charlie: Yeah, there was.
Sawyer: [speaking to Desmond] You. the munchkin and who else?
[Charlie has the hint of a smile. Cut to shot of Hurley and Jin with long poles getting ready to tip the van back upright]
Jin: [says something in Korean]
Hurley: Huh?
Jin: [motioning with the pole, says something in Korean]
Hurley: Oh, I got it. we're going to tip it up? Crafty.
Jin: Crafty?
Hurley: Yeah, crafty. It's like...when you're good at...crafts. Never mind.
[Sawyer walks up]
Sawyer: Hey! Where the hell's my stuff? [looking at the van] What are y'all doing?
[Hurley turns and runs over to Sawyer, giving him a big hug]
Hurley: Dude! You're alive! [laughing] You're alive!
Sawyer: Yeah, yeah Snuffy. It's good to see you too.
[Sawyer hugs Hurley back]
Sawyer: I'll be damned. You found yourselves a hippy car.
Hurley: Pretty cool, huh?
[Jin walks over and gives Sawyer a hug as well]
Jin: Sawyer.
Sawyer: Jin-bo! How you doing?
Jin: Good. See you.
Sawyer: Well look at that! Somebody's hooked on phonics.
Hurley: What about Jack and Kate? They with you? They all right?
Sawyer: Kate's with me. But the doc...they still got him.
Hurley: Ok. It's Ok. Going to be all right. Jack's going to be all right. We all are.
Sawyer: Well what a relief!
Hurley: Nah, see things are getting better! The car. You coming back safely. It's a sign.
Sawyer: Yeah, it's a sign I want my stuff back.
Hurley: Uh uh. You're going to help us fix this thing.
Sawyer: Now why in the hell would I do that?
Hurley: Because there's beer.
[Cut to shot of beach. Sayid, Locke and Kate are walking together, (see Black & White references]
Sayid: Why did he say don't come back.
Kate: He sacrificed himself so could escape. Probably didn't want it to be for nothing.
Sayid: Hurley told us they released Michael and Walt.
Kate: Yep. They gave Michael a boat. He took off and never looked back.
Sayid: Did you see any other boats?
Kate: No, but something tells me they didn't give away their only one.
Locke: So they can leave the island?
Kate: I don't know, John.
Sayid: This zoo where they held you. Is that where they live?
Kate: We
escaped with one of them. A kid named Karl. He said that they live on
this island. He could have taken us there but Sawyer let him go.
Sayid: Why?
Kate: You're going to have to ask Sawyer.
[Kate begins walking away from Sayid and Locke]
Sayid: Kate, where are you going?
Kate: I don't care what Jack said. They've got him and we have to get him back. I owe him that. So I'm going to get help.
Locke: Help from who?
[Flashback
to the dining room in Hurley's mansion. David, Carmen and Hurley sit at
the table. A gold statue of Jesus sits slowly turning on a small
turntable that is squeaking]
David Reyes: Now that's a hell of a Jesus!
Carmen Reyes: Yes.
Hugo is such a good son. He knows of my love for the Savior so he
commissioned artisans in Taxco to custom carve for me the statue in
solid gold.
[A dish is set down in front of David. It is a hamburger, french fries and lasagna]
David Reyes: [taking a good sniff] Ahh, that smells like great lasagna.
[Shot of a man and woman, both oriental]
Carmen Reyes: The Trons made it themselves. Hugo found them in Bennigans. Now they are our butlers.
[David looks over at Hurley who appears to be sulking]
David Reyes: Something wrong Hugo?
[Hurley does not respond]
Carmen Reyes: Your father asked you a question, Hugo.
Hurley: My
father?! You're acting like he never left us! Like he hasn't been gone
for 17 years. And all of a sudden he shows up? Aren't you at least...a
little suspicious?
David Reyes: I showed up because your mom called and said you were in trouble.
Hurley: What?!
Carmen Reyes: All
this numbers and curses. Hugo, I don't know what to do anymore. I
thought that you needed a manly influence. A father to get you to stop
this nonsense!
Hurley: I'm not crazy! And the only reason he's back...is because he wants the money.
David Reyes: Oh, now that hurts.
Hurley: Well, guess what? There isn't going to be any money! Hah! Mr. Tron? Lady Tron? Your services will no longer be needed.
[Hurley throws a very large wad of cash on the table]
Hurley: Severance.
Trust me, I'm doing you a huge favor. It's only a matter of time before
the curse gets you and you...die...or...worse.
[The Tron's take the cash and leave]
Carmen Reyes: Hugo. What are you doing?
Hurley: Getting rid of it. All of it. The money, the houses, the livestock! [looking at his father] And I'm starting with him!
Carmen Reyes: No, Hugo. Your father is staying with us.
Hurley: He's staying with us where?
[Carmen looks somewhat uncomfortable]
Carmen Reyes: It's been 17 years, Hugo.
Hurley: What's been 17 years?
[Carmen reaches out to the gold statue of Jesus and covers the ears with her fingers]
Carmen Reyes: I have needs.
[Understanding dawns on Hurley. He covers his ears and closes his eyes]
Hurley: No! No! No! This can't be happening! He has to go! He has to! I want him gone!
Carmen Reyes: No you don't.
Hurley: Yeah, I do!
Carmen Reyes: Why don't you show your father what you have in the garage, Hugo.
[Cut
to shot of Hurley and David opening the garage door. Inside is the same
Camaro that Hurley and his father were working on when his father left]
David Reyes: I can't believe it. You saved it. [chuckling] You saved it!
[Cut
to shot of Sawyer, Jin and Hurley levering the fan back onto its
wheels. They are grunting and yelling as the push. The van tips over
and settles upright. Sawyer, Jin and Hurley laugh and yell
triumphantly. They then go around to the back of the van where the beer
is]
Sawyer: Me first, now. Come on!
[There is a lot of paper in the van]
Sawyer: What the hell's up with all this recycling?
Hurley: You got me, dude.
[Sawyer finds a blueprint mapping what appears to be a road being constructed on the island]
Sawyer: Looks like those DHARMA freaks were building some sort of dirt road.
[Sawyer moves some of the junk in the van and finds the beer]
Sawyer: Woooh! Ah ha ha! Now we're talking!
[Hurley and Jin go to the engine compartment. It is in poor shape and covered in jungle growth]
Jin: Hugo...[says something in Korean about the engine]
Hurley: Looks good to me. Engine's fine, right?
Sawyer: Son of a...what's a head doing back here?!
Hurley: Oh! That's just...Roger. [speaking loudly to Jin] I'm going to...start the car now.
Jin: Hurley! [says something to Hurley in Korean] engine [says something in Korean].
Hurley: Dude, even if you were speaking English, I wouldn't understand a word you're saying. Just relax. We're good. This will work.
[Hurley gets in the van]
Hurley: [speaking to himself] Have hope. This will work.
[He inserts the key into the ignition and turns it. Nothing happens]
Hurley: Dammit.
[Cut to shot of Sawyer opening a beer by the van. He smells it]
Sawyer: Whoo. It's flat, and it stinks.
[Hurley walks to the engine with Jin. Vincent runs by behind Hurley as he and Jin
look at the engine]
Hurley: Can you get it to work? Do you know what's wrong?
Sawyer Chill out! Let the man do his thing.
Hurley: Dude. That beer's been there since before Rocky 3, maybe even 2, it's probably poison by now.
[Sawyer looks over at the remains of Roger that has been propped up beside the van with his head back on his shoulders]
Sawyer: Skeletor seems to like it.
[Sawyer taps Roger's skull with a can of beer]
Sawyer: Bottom's up!
Hurley: That's not cool, dude. That guy had a mom, a family, and friends. Oh, and a name. It's not Skeletor, it's Roger Workman.
[Sawyer peers down at the nametag on the coveralls]
Sawyer: It's Work Man, you Blockhead! [laughing] That's his job! He was a DHARMA janitor.
Hurley: Yeah, well you should still respect the dead.
Jin: [says something in Korean]
Hurley: Woah woah woah. Can you fix it?
Jin: No. No fix.
[Jin walks over to where Sawyer is sitting]
Hurley: But you have to! Can't you try dude? We've got to get this running!
Sawyer: Hey,
leave the man alone! He's right...no fix. Take a look at that mess.
There's no way it's going to get running. How thick are you?
Hurley: What's your problem man? Why...why don't you want this to work?
Sawyer: I don't care if it works. Why's it so important to you?
Hurley: Because...we could all use a little hope!
Sawyer: If its hope you're looking for, Esse, you're on the wrong damned island! Because there sure as hell aint no hope here.
[Flashback of Hurley sleeping in bed in his mansion]
David Reyes: Come on, Hugo! Time to get up! Come on! Rise and shine! Hit the deck! Come on, we're burning daylight! Let's go.
Hurley: Mmmmm.
[Hurley has earphones on with his head under a pillow with a leopard print blanket]
David Reyes: What's with the earphones?
Hurley: It's for the noise.
David Reyes: Well, your mother's a very passionate woman.
Hurley: That is...disgusting.
David Reyes: come on! We're going on an adventure. Let's go.
Hurley: I'm not going anywhere with you.
David Reyes: Look. Just do this 1 thing with me. If it doesn't work, you can go to Australia. I won't stop you. Ok?
Hurley: What one thing?
David Reyes: We're going to break the curse.
[Cut to shot of Hurley and David visiting a Psychic]
Hurley: This is stupid.
David Reyes: Just give her a chance man.
[The psychic puts a tarot deck on the table]
Lynn Karnoff: Cut the deck, please.
[Hurley reluctantly cuts the deck. Lynn pulls off the top card]
Lynn Karnoff: You've recently come into a great deal of money.
Hurley: You could have seen that on the news.
[She flips another card over]
Lynn Karnoff: But it hasn't brought you happiness. No, it's brought you great misfortune.
David Reyes: Hmmph. She didn't see that on the news.
Lynn Karnoff: I'm seeing numbers.
Hurley: What numbers?
Lynn Karnoff: 4. 8. 15. 16. 23. 42. There's darkness around these numbers. Great tragedy.
[She turns over another card]
Lynn Karnoff: I'm...I'm sorry.
Hurley: What? What is it?
Lynn Karnoff: Death...surrounds you. And...more is coming! Your hands, please!
[Hurley reaches out and she takes his hands]
Lynn Karnoff: There's a curse on you. But it can be removed. Now, Hugo, I need you to remove your clothes.
Hurley: My clothes?
[Lynn gets up and goes into a back room. She returns with a large pot]
Lynn Karnoff: A curse is like an unwelcome entity that lives inside you. And it must be exercised.
[She drops several items into the pot including raw eggs]
Hurley: My dad put you up to this?
Lynn Karnoff: What?
David Reyes: Hugo, please.
[Hurley pulls out a wad of cash]
Hurley: I'll give you a thousand dollars right now if you admit that my dad told you to say this stuff.
Lynn Karnoff: The mystic arts are not subject to bribes. How dare you...
Hurley: 10 thousand.
Lynn Karnoff: You're dad put me up to it.
David Reyes: I was just trying to help.
Hurley: Help who?
[Cut
to shot Hurley in the jungle near the van sitting with Vincent. Hurley
appears to be praying. Jin and Sawyer are drinking beer next to the van
as Sawyer teaches Jin more English]
Sawyer: Beer.
Jin: Beer.
Sawyer: Bingo. Beautiful.
[Sawyer taps the side of the van]
Sawyer: Car.
Jin: [thumping the van with his elbow] Car.
Sawyer: Ok. [gesturing toward Hurley] International House of Pancakes.
[When Hurley does not respond, Sawyer laughs]
Sawyer: [speaking to Hurley] What are you doing over there?
Hurley: I'm praying.
Sawyer: Praying for what?
Hurley: Help.
[Sawyer bends down and grabs a beer]
Sawyer: Well, hell. I got you a little help right here.
[Sawyer
tosses the beer toward Hurley but it goes over his head. Hurley looks
back to see where it landed and watches as the beer rolls down a steep
hill. Hurley smiles. Cut to shot of beach where Charlie is sitting]
Hurley: Dude! Hey, dude! Stop moping, come on.
Charlie: I'm not moping. I'm thinking.
Hurley: Uh
uh. When people stare out at the ocean and get all quite like, they're
moping. So get up and come with me. That car I found? We're getting it
running.
Charlie: What's the point?
[Hurley smacks Charlie on the face, hard]
Charlie: Ow! What'd you do that for?
Hurley: Snap
out of it! Stop feeling sorry for yourself because someone said your
going to die! I got an idea that's going to help us both.
[Hurley lifts Charlie up by the armpits]
Hurley: Now, it is dangerous. And there's a very good chance that you will die.
Charlie: That's supposed to convince me to come with you?
Hurley: It is. Because if you don't die...then we win.
Charlie: Win?
Hurley: Look,
I don't know about you, but things have really sucked for me lately and
I could really use a victory. So let's get one, dude. Let's get this
car started. Let's look death in the face and say "Whatever, man".
Let's make our own luck. What do you say?
[Cut to jungle interior at the van. Several beer cans litter the ground]
Sawyer: I'm sorry.
Jin: I'm...sorry.
Sawyer: Ok, nice. Keep it coming.
Jin: Uh. You...were...right.
