Let's talk about
LOST! Dave.
NOTE: Be very observant of Libby and Dave's body language and facial expressions when they are with Hurley. These are just as important as dialogue clues we are given.
Power walking Libby
leads orange shirt wearing Hurley across the shoreline. They are
exercising. Libby thinks this is great, while Hurley prefers
breathing. Libby informs him that
exercise is
addictive.
Totally out of
breath Hurley can see why.
Hurley confesses he needs to
drop a few lbs. Libby doesn’t want him
to be too hard on himself ; it's not gonna happen overnight “Some people’s
metabolisms are just a little
slower.”
It’s not Hurley's
metabolism, “
I’m sick.”
Libby wants Hurley to
trust her.
Reluctantly he tells her OK, “But
it’s bad."
In the jungle Hurley reveals to Libby a
hidden food pantry filled with
Dharma labeled goods.
Hurley-“When we first
crashed here, I thought this isn’t all
bad. It’s like the all
mango diet. I wasn’t turning any
heads or nothing but I did
drop a couple of belt sizes. Then
we found this
hatch… and it was full of food…tons of food. I tried
giving it all away but, I guess I kinda kept some of it for myself.
Wish I could just
get rid of it.”
Libby, who stayed silent as Hurley made his confession, encourages him to just get rid of it. Libby picks up a
gynormous container of
Dharma Ranch Composite, “You wanna
change? Then change.”
She hands him the huge container and he dumps all the contents out. They proceed to dump out and discard all the food. There is a
huge mess all over the place. Exhausted Hurley
feels free. They hug and then appear to get a bit tender with each other but are interrupted by the perfect timing of Jin yelling something in
Korean. Jin is very excited. Sun runs behind Jin and tells Hurley and Libby that “They
found something! Come on!”
A group of people all of a sudden come running behind Sun from the jungle.
They come upon a group of survivors already at a large
pallet filled with cardboard
boxes. Those
boxes reveal they are packed with
Dharma foods and goods.
Hurley’s upset.
Libby asks Charlie where it came from. Just then Jin picks up an
Orange parachute and looks up.
Charlie tells Libby, “Locke said some kind of
blast doors trapped him in the
hatch. Maybe it was because of this. So no one would
see who
dropped it.”
Then Charlie asks aloud, “
Any of you guys see a plane last night?” {
WTF?!}
Sawyer tells
Tattoo he
saw it, “
Just decided not to tell.”
Hurley looks at the excited Castaways rummaging through the boxes and start to fight over who saw what items first.
Sawyer tries to tell the “
locusts” to have a little
order here.
Charlie asks Sawyer if they should ask someone a little more
trustworthy take care of this.
Sawyer-“
Like you…baby napper?“
Charlie- “No. Like Hurley. Why not Hurley? He’s
done it before, he can do it again.”
Hurley protests, “No! No way! Not me! No,
not again! No!”
Libby suggests no one be
in charge; everyone can
manage, just take what they
need.
Sarcastic Sawyer tells
Moonbeam that’s a great
plan, “After that we can sing
Kumbaya and do
trust falls.”
{
We hear an overlapping mix of dialogue from the group of savages about trading items. Sawyer can be heard saying ‘we can do it any way you want.’ Bacon. Get your hands off of it. Outta my way, “Every man for himself".}
Through the group of
savages Hurley sees a bald man in a
bathrobe smirking at him. The man walks away and Hurley tries to quietly see where he went. Hurley spots the man who seems to beckoning him, turns his back on Hurley and heads in to the jungle. Hurley heads in after him.
Libby watches Hurley.
Hurley
chases after the man who is indeed running through the jungle.
Hurley falls down conveniently at the spot to discover a
light/white colored
slipper.
Hurley touches it, “Uh oh.”
Hurley sits on the beach
staring at the
slipper he’s slowly
rotating in his hand. Libby asks him what he’s doing and
who he was looking for out there.
Hurley puts the slipper down beside him, “
No one.”
Libby- “When you ran off it sort of
seemed like you were looking for someone.
I tried to find you..."
Hurley
doesn’t want to talk about it. He nonchalantly moves the slipper so it’s out of view.
Libby remarks how it’s pretty
weird "the island" won't let Hurley lose weight, "You
destroy your
stash, then
BANG, more food
falls from the sky."
She's proud of him for
not freaking out.
{
Hurley heading into the jungle like that was not “freaking out” to her. She must have known where he was going.}
{
Flash Whoosh}
A beautiful
picture of an island hangs over Hugo’s head in the psychiatrist’s office.
Hugo is a
patient at
Santa Rosa's {
mental health}.
Dr. Brooks asks Hugo how the diet's coming.
Hugo-“It’s OK. I had salad and
chicken breast for lunch.
The Doctor promises it gets
easier. The doc
heard he had a
visit with his mom. Hugo tells the Doc the
visit was
good and he’s not
mad at her
for putting him in there. “I know she put me in here
for a reason.”
Brooks-“What
reason was that?”
Hugo-“The
accident.”
Brooks asks Hugo if he wants to talk about that today; been there almost
two months, it should be time to
start getting their hands dirty.
Evidentially Hugo
doesn’t want to talk about that. Brooks suggests they talk about the
homework assignment he gave him. Hugo shares he wasn’t really good at
homework.
Brooks asks if he
remembers what he’s supposed to do, “make a
list of things you like about yourself.”
Hugo shares that he didn't do it because nobody else did it; meaning
Dave. Hugo also shares that Dave thought it was a stupid idea.
Brooks {who's not Dave's doctor.} feels that Dave is a
negative influence on him.
Hugo feels "Dave's the most normal person in
this place, man."
Dr. Brooks- "
But he doesn't want you to change does he?"
At the
gym, there's a very interesting basketball game going on with the patients. Dave is
playing. {
Dave uses all the same verbiage and slang that Hurley uses. Note all the damn plaid!}
The guy in the
red robe is just
carrying the ball not dribbling it. “Shoot it! Shoot it!”
Dave asks Hugo, “You
want in this game, man? Go for it. Something tells me no one will care.”
Hugo seems distant. Dave yells at a player, "Dude, Dude,
give up the rock!"
Someone throws the ball and Hugo catches it.
Annoyed Dave yells, "
Fantastic, Great give it to the guy who's not even in the game!" {
HOLY SHIT! WOW! Important line!}
Dave wants to hit
taco night, “Let’s blow this pop stand.”
{
Yogi on the floor in meditation}
Hugo tells Dave Brook's opinion of him. Dave seems to admit he's
negative, “Duh! So you don’t wanna
hang out with me anymore?”
Dave asks if that quack’s
getting inside his head, "
DO NOT LET HIM. You got much more important things to think about." {Yes, Important!} Like hard or soft shell, chicken or shrimp, sour cream or hot sauce?"
Amused Hugo guesses he could eat. The happy duo head off.
{
Flash Whoosh}
Sock toes wiggle {Left foot}.
In the hatch Jack
examines Locke's legs.
Locke is in
pain when wiggling his
right toes {not his left}.
Doctor Jack doesn't have an
x-ray but his best guess is Locke has a
hairline fracture. Jack wraps his injury to keep the
swelling down until he can get a splint on it.
Locke can’t walk on it for a couple of weeks.
Jack suggests to Kate the
wheelchair for him but Locke freaks! Kate will get the pair of
crutches. {
Because I'm friggin' nuts, let's note the reflection of Kate in the washer/dryer glass. 2 Kate's.}
Locke tells Jack that during the
lock down Henry/He could have
escaped, but feels he
came back to help him. Jack feels Henry
came back because he thought his
story was going to
check out.
In the armory fake Henry is
strung up like he's hanging from a crucifix.
The door is wide open and Anna Lucia strolls in. Henry is telling Sayid, “
He was dead already.
Four months ago I was
part of the
search party, Henry Gale… was
hanging out of the
basket neck broken.”
Anna Lucia wanted to ask Henry a question but Sayid stops her and he asks, “So
he was already dead.”
Yes.
Sayid- “Then you
buried him and left a
grave marker.”
Yes.
Sayid tells Henry he really should have
checked his
wallet before you did that.
Sayid produces a $20 bill {
Improvised w/o paper} with the last
composed thoughts from the real Henry Gale to Jennifer.
Sayid reads the note aloud. “
Jennifer, well you were right. Crossing the Pacific isn’t easy. I owe you a beer. I’m hiking to one of the beaches to start a signal fire. But if you’re reading this I guess I didn’t make it. I’m sorry I love you Jenny…Always have always will. Yours Henry.”
Sayid folds up the cash and pockets it. He wants to know how the
real Henry could have
written a note to his wife with a
broken neck. {
Is Jennifer Henry's wife?}
Fake Henry starts to get upset, flustered and tells them "It wasn't me. I didn't kill him. You don't
understand.”
Sayid asks how he knew his wife’s name, "Did you
interrogate him?" {
Really, how did he know his name?}
Fake Henry appears
panicked, “Please, just
listen…I'm just a……" {
Just a what?!}
Sayid -"
How many of you are there?" {IMPORTANT!}
Fake Henry- "
If I told you about them, you have no idea what he'll do."
Sayid- "He?"
Ana interjects "You mean their
leader. The guy
with the beard." {
As she's looking directly at Henry.}
Fake Henry- "Him?!…He's no one
Nothing!"……I can't….."
All the while Sayid questions him, “Where are your people?
How many of you are there?!”
Henry feels Sayid doesn’t
understand.
Sayid-“Understand this!” and pulls a gun on Fake Henry.
Sayid gives him
three seconds to answer his question, "
How many of you are there?" {
OMFG!}
Sayid counts, “One…” …..Henry yells "He’ll kill me!”
Sayid-“
I’ll kill you. Two...”
Fake Henry-“You can't do this!
I am not a bad person!"
Sayid, “Three!”
Sayid fires the gun at Henry and Ana jumps in,
protecting Henry.
Sayid feels Henry’s a
liar!
Ana tells Jack to get Sayid out of there.
Locke,
curious about the commotion, upset and frustrated calls out for Jack. Jack walks over to calmly tell John, I’ve got it
covered, John.”
Fake Henry thanks Ana Lucia. She just tells him to shut up; leaving him alone in the dark room. {
Henry knows Ana is there for him}.
Mr. Eko is
constructing something; he is
sawing. {
Cross on
dark cord. In front of the
burned woods.}
Charlie come up
dragging a pallet and says that when he noticed Eko was
building something, he thought he could use it “For whatever it is.”
Eko finds it
thoughtful of Charlie then asks “
Why don’t you help me?”
Charlie asks what he’s making.
Eko has Charlie hold one end of the
wood. Charlie wonders if it's "a STARBUCKS?"
Eko doesn’t answer the question, only gets Charlie to
pitch in. Eko will not tell Charlie what he’s building right now.
Hurley walks through the jungle
carrying the
slipper. He looks
down and
finds a box of Dharma fish crackers. He
ferociously opens the box and shoves them into his mouth.
Dave stands there watching him.
With a mouth full of dry
crackers Hurley blurts outs "
You're not here!"
Dave
throws a coconut at him to prove that he is here. {
The thrown coconut makes contact w/Hugo. Pretty real to me!}
Dave picks up another coconut as if to throw it but runs into the jungle with it. Hurley runs after him wanting him to wait. {
Dave is there running but at one point Hurley looks up and he’s not there.}
Hurley ends up right where Charlie and Eko are busy
constructing.
Hurley asks if they
saw a guy in a bathrobe with a coconut run through there…
Charlie- "No. I saw a polar bear on roller blades with a mango" {
I'm sure he did. LOL!}
Eko who is focused only on construction,
did not see anything.
Hurley-“Yeah. Me either.”
{
Flash Whoosh}
Connect Four.
Leonard is repeating 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42.
Hugo is
playing Connect Four with Leonard and
Lenny
wins.
Dave says to Leonard, “Pretty
sneaky, Leonard. Using those
magic numbers of yours
as a psych-out, aren't you man?"
Dave is on to Leonard’s
juju and knows that he just
plays dumb. This amuses Hugo, “T
hey're just numbers, dude.” {
Lenny emphasizes “8” a bunch of times. "
Ate"}
Hugo snacks on celery while Dave tries
to tempt Hugo into snagging one of Lenny’s graham crackers, “He won’t notice. What’s he gonna do,
call you a 23?”
While Lenny
repeats the number mantra and Dave interjects with the numbers and finishes with a nice, “Hike!” {
Football.}
Nurse Lazenby brings Hugo his meds. {
Clonazapam. Same meds as mentioned on the island.}
Concerned Dave tells Hugo, “Dude, you wanna
get out of here with me don’t take the
horse tranquilizer.”
Hugo- “What do you mean
get out of here?”
Dave means “
Escape, man. Me and you ASAP. They're getting to you, dude. We gotta
split."
He tells Hugo that Dr. Brooks doesn't care about him he's the one
prescribing that crap. Dr. Brooks walks over to the table and asks if there’s anything
wrong with Hugo’s meds.
Nope,Hugo and Dave were just talking.
Brooks says hello to Dave.
{
If Dave wasn't really there, would a Dr. 'feed' into a patient’s illusion and say hi to imaginary friend?}
Dave and the Doctor share brief niceties.
Dave tells Doc he’s, “Never been
saner.
The Doctor is taking
pictures for the
bulletin board; he’s got everyone except "you two." {
Hugo and Dave, Not Hugo and Leonard.}
Brooks has the two friends get closer together. Dave is Rockin'!
The photo is shot with the Polaroid camera.
Brooks wonders if Hugo needs
water, as to be sure he takes those
two pills. The doc thanks the guys for the
photo op and leaves.
Hurley
pretends to take the
two pills; Dave is impressed.
Dave quietly yells Hugo "
The revolution has begun, man. Lay low, when the time is right, we fly".
{
Flash Whoosh}
The beach:
LMAO as Sawyer is trying to
separate a Dharma {fully hydrogenated} Oreo cookie, but to no avail. Hurley tells him you gotta twist it;
pulling it will only
break your cookie.
Hurley {the expert} tells Sawyer he’s kinda
looking for something. Sawyer’s done
trading because he’s got enough food to open up a
chain of mini marts, “Hey.
You think Sayid needs a job?”
Hurley wants a
favor so he
reminds Sawyer when he
helped him out with the
tree frog that Sawyer
killed.
Sawyer
remembers. Hurley wants
Clonazapam. Hurley explains the
meds make you
“calm down” or for when you’re seeing things that aren’t supposed to be there; like a bald guy in a bathrobe.
Sawyer teases him.
Hurley gets pissed off and tackles him into the tent and they fight. Jin is amused at this sight!
Sun wants him to break them up. Handsome and strong Jin breaks it up. Pissed off Sawyer calls Hurley
crazy.
Hurley-"
I'm not crazy. I’m not crazy."
{
Sawyer's tent gets torn down, just like the boar that tore down his tent.}
Kate, leaning on the
crutches she's supposed to deliver to Locke, is entertained with Sawyer’s story about the Hurley ass kicking. Sawyer’s annoyed by her amusement.
Sawyer- “
Don’t you got an adventure to get to? I think Timmy
fell down the well over that way.”
Kate wonders what would "make Hurley, of all people…?"
Sawyer said he doesn't know why, "He just
Hulked out on me" for no
reason at all. Sawyer encourages her to enjoy her
giggle but to steer clear, “
The man is crazy.”
Sawyer
rebuilds his tent.
Inside his tent, Hurley is packing his backpack. {
Packs peanut butter.} Libby visits to check on him and asks what happened with Sawyer.
Hurley
doesn’t want to talk about it.
Libby-“So...you
beat him up?”
Hurley guesses she knows what happened then. Libby is
on his side, “Whatever you tell me…” {
Really?! His side.}
Hurley
doesn’t want to talk.
Libby comments about the huge container of peanut butter.
Hurley’s gonna need a lot of
protein where he’s going.
He's going back to the caves, after all no one lives there anymore, so he won't bother anybody. He's going to live alone, be one of those crazy guys with the big beard, no clothes, who's naked and throws doody at people. { LMFAO!}
Libby says he doesn't have to do this.
Hurley- "
Just leave me alone. You can't help me! No one can."
On his trek through the jungle Hurley's backpack rips and everything falls out. The
peanut butter is busted open and Hurley scoops some up and eats it right off a leaf. {
Orange shirt.} He
hears the sound of a footstep in the grass. There is
one shoe Dave standing there. {
Orange sock.} With a mouth full of peanut butter Hurley swears that Dave's “NOT here! You’re in the
hospital. You can’t be
here.”
Dave smirks and says, "Sorry dude,
I am here."
{
We can't get more point blank than that!}
Hugo likes that he has a
good relationship with his mom, he likes making his grandpa Tito laugh and he likes
chicken. Hugo is
reading from the
list he's made. He seems to be a
family kind of guy. {
The dialog here is VERY important. Also note he's wearing same robe, different shirt underneath.} Dr. Brooks remarks that last list
entry wasn’t about Hugo and then asks
if it was difficult writing that. Brooks also says that Hugo didn't mention anything about his appearance in the list. {
The session is being recorded.}
Hugo- "It’s not like…I mean, I can't really do anything about it, right?"
Hugo sits there
sad, obviously in pain and feelings of guilt. Hugo opens up, "If I, uh…If I… wasn't so fat…
they never would have died.”
Dr. Brooks tries to show him a rational view and tells Hugo, "There were
23 people on that
deck, it was built to hold
8. And it would have
collapsed whether you went out there or not.”
Hugo is nearing tears, "Yeah, but I did walk out there. And it did
collapse. And I killed them." {Keep this accident in mind for a later time.}
Dr. Brooks- "It was an
accident."
Hugo-“
It was my fault.” He is
blaming himself for this accident.
Brooks- “
Look, after those people died you were in a practically in a
catatonic state. You
stopped talking, you stopped going out, you
stopped sleeping. But you never stopped eating.
Because that’s how you punish yourself.”
Hugo tells Brooks that Dave is right about the Dr., "Your nothing but a quack."
Brooks-“Dave doesn’t want you to lose weight, does he?”
Hugo is adamant Dave cares about him, “
He’s my friend.” {
Walt said the same line to Michael about Locke in season 1}
Brooks reveals the
photo taken for the bulletin board, "Dave isn’t your friend, Hugo. Because Dave
doesn’t exist."
Dave is absent from the picture!
Two photos; one of Mrs. Reyes and one of Grandpa Tito in front of a blue truck.
Hugo
sleeping.
“Psssst! {whispering} Hey.
Wake up, Dude.”
Dave tries to
wake Hugo up and actually drums/pats on him to do so, “Finally. You could
sleep through a damn NASCAR
race, man.”
Hurley again feels Dave’s not there; he’s a
hallucination. Dave slaps him to prove he IS real, “Was that a
hallucination?”
{Nope.}
Hurley still thinks that maybe he imagined Dave slapped him.
Dave slaps him AGAIN! {
Pretty real.} Dave can do that all night.
Hugo tells him about the picture Brooks showed him from the rec room, “My arm was around…like,
nothingness.”
Dave- "Uhhh, Kinko's? Photoshop? What you really think they really blew up the Death Star?"
{Nope.}
Dave wants Hugo to
stop talking crazy and come on “
We’re on the clock here.”
Hugo doesn’t get up so Dave asks him “
Hey, you in or you out, dude?
Dave encourages Hugo to take a plate of lasagna that Marcus didn’t finish, "That is a waste, man. One for the road?"
Hugo takes the plate.
“
Shhh” motions Dave as they attempt to covertly sneak down stairs.
Dave waits until the coast is clear and the
security guard takes his
break.
{
Hugo uses his fingers to eat.}
Whispering Dave instructs Hugo, “Tippy toes, big guy.”
Inside the dark cleaned up rec room Hugo puts the plate down on the table that has the
Connect Four game still out. {
Black chips/markers.}
Dave
whispers to Hugo "…you got the
keys, hombre. You took em off Brooks' desk earlier." {
He did?! We did see Brooks move the keys off the file.}
Hugo kind of gives a look as if “
I did?” and takes
keys out of his robe pocket.
Dave and his mischievous giggle encourage Hugo, "Come on man, open it! Open it!" {
Window with a padlock.}
Hugo opens it with the
first key tried; opening the window’s
security gate and the window, letting in all the night air and sounds of the outside. Dave asks him if he can taste
Freedom and Cheeseburgers.
Dave jumps out the window and
lands only a couple of feet below the window.
In celebration Dave offers chili fries "on me."
Hugo apologizes to Dave because he can’t do this, "
You're not real. You're trying to get me to
run away and get cheeseburgers because I
want cheeseburgers.”
Dave freaks, “Did you take those
pills, man?!”
Hugo- "No, man, I'm just not coming….
Look, you don't want me to get better,
you don’t want me to change."
Dave feels he
doesn’t need to change; he’s fine, “You are great!"
Hugo says he's not fine and that Dave just wants him to stay fat, “
You wouldn’t care if I ate myself to death.”
Dave tells Hugo very matter of fact, "Do not do this man. If you don't come with me right now, you will
never get outta here."
Hugo- "Bye Dave" and
locks up with window.
{
Flash Whoosh}
Hurley sits in the jungle with his
eyes closed. He
opens his eyes again to see Dave is indeed there. Dave asks Hurley for his slipper but complains that there’s peanut butter on it. Dave sits down next to Hugo and chats about him knowing that Hurley's is
freaking out right now and he's sorry, but Dave confesses that "
Its gonna get a little worse before it's gets better."
Hugo- “
Worse?!”
Kinda.
Dave-“You ready, dude?”
Hugo nods yes.
Dave begins, "You
remember that night you closed that window on me?
Remember what you did after that night?"
Hugo recalls, "Yeah. I realized you were
imaginary. {
Dave gives an obligatory yes nod, "UmmHumm."} And that was a
breakthrough. {
Dave gives him an 'Oh really' look.} And a little while later Brooks
let me out and
I went home to live with my mom, and I got my job at Mr. Clucks back, and I got better."
Dave informs him that "
None of that ever happened… You're still at Santa Rosa, man. You
never left the
hospital."
Hugo feels that’s not possible.
Dave understands it’s hard, “
I mean, all this…you, me, this island, that peanut butter, none of it's real, man. None of it's happening. It's all in his head, my friend. The second you closed that window your brain popped a gasket. You went back into your little coma thing and that’s where you are right this very second, in your own private Idaho inside Santa Rosa."
Hugo won’t
believe it after all he had his mom, his friend Johnny, “I won the lottery!”
Mockingly, Dave finds this awesome and asks what
numbers he
played, “Leonard’s
numbers, right? From the
hospital. What a
coincidence. You uh, seen them around anywhere else?”
Hugo- “
The hatch.”
Dave- “
BINGO! The hatch. With the
button that you gotta
push every
108 minutes
or the world ends. Oh! Oh! Oh! And, and what’s the
code for the
button? Oh yeah, the
numbers.”
Hurley insists he
got better “I changed.”
Dave now mocks Hugo’s circumstances “
Changed? What are you kidding me?
Look at yourself. You’ve been on a
deserted island for over
two months and you haven’t dropped
10 lbs. How is that
even possible, man?”
Hugo admits he just
destroyed his
stash and he’s been
exercising, “Libby says it won’t happen overnight…”
This too amuses Dave, “Oh right, right, Libby. The
mega cute blond
chick who
magically appeared from the other side of the island. Oh! Oh! Oh yeah. Who just happens to have the hots for yooou.”
This hurts Hugo.
Dave
offers out his hand to Hugo so they can take a
walk.
{
As they walk through the jungle, note the beautiful bright/vibrant, red/orange/yellow tropical flowers.}
Hugo asks Dave, “
So this is all in my brain?”
Dave confirms "Every rock, every tree. Every
tree frog. Even me. The
real me, the one
they told you was imaginary, he went out that window, man. Right now he’s probably bouncing from hot chick to hot chick. Unlike me,
who’s really you, who’s got more important things to do."
Hugo-“So
I’m making you up.”
Sorta.
Dave tells him "
I'm part of your subconscious, man, all the people on this island are."
Hurley wonders "
What part of me are you?"
Dave is the part of him “
that wants to wake up, man. Follow me."
Dave leads him to it; the edge over the rough surf. The BIG FINALE! “
The answer to all your problems. A way for you to wake up, snap out of it!”
Hugo looks over the edge and says he’s
doesn’t want to kill himself.
Dave assures him “Who said anything about
killing yourself, man?
This is gonna bring you back to life!
The only way for you to bust out, is to tell your mind that you don't believe any of this."
Hurley asks {as he looks into the water} "So…If I?…
all this will be gone? I'll just wake up?"
That’s right.
Dave-"
And when you do wake up, come find me. I'm sure I miss ya…
See you in another life Hurley."
Dave
intentionally falls back off the cliff and splashes down in to the
water; laughing all the way down.
{
Dave called him Hurley.}
Down in the hatch Locke on his
crutches heads towards…..
changes course to the couch where Ana is playing/putting together a gun. {
She’s wearing a ring.}
Locke asks Ana Lucia, “
Jack not back yet?”
Jack has
gone to the beach to tell everyone they’ve got one of them.
Something tells Ana “people will have a lot of questions about our house guest.”
Locke wants to talk to him but Ana doesn't think that's on today's
program.
Locke doesn't care what she thinks. {
Ah! A man after my own heart!} He wants
5 minutes with him; he’s "
earned 5 minutes with him." {
Boy, everybody's earning something around there.} Ana opens the armory door and lets Locke in.
Fake Henry sits on the cot’ his hands and feet are
tied up. Ana closes the door on them for
privacy. Locke asks "
What's your name? Your real name."
With his head down and
eyes closed Fake Henry suggests to just keep calling him Henry, “
I've gotten used to it,"
Locke-"Did you get
caught on purpose? You and your people have been here for God knows how long, and you got
caught…in a
net." {
That’s what I've been asking.}
Fake Henry- "
God doesn't know… God doesn’t know how long we've been here, John.
He can't see this island any better than the rest of the world can. May I ask you a question? What possible
reason could I have for
putting myself through all this?”
Locke wonders "Maybe your people were
looking for
this place.”
Fake Henry- "
This place?
This place is a
joke, John.”
Locke wants to know what he's talking about. Fake Henry goes on to say that he crawled through your vents and I stood at
your computer as the
alarm beeped. And you know what happened? The
timer went all the way
down to zero. And then some funny
red pictures flipped up in
its place. They looked like
hieroglyphics…I'm
no expert. And then things got
real interesting. There was a
loud clunking and a
hum like magnet, a BIG magnet. It was
really very frightening. And do you know what happened next? Nothing happened, John. Nothing happened at all. Your
timer just flipped back to
108. I never
entered the numbers. I never
pressed the button.
Locke- "You're
lying"
Fake Henry- "No, I'm done
lying."
Hurley looks over the cliff calling out for Dave.
Out of nowhere Libby is standing behind him and asks "Who's Dave?"
{Like she doesn't know.}
WATCH/LISTEN TO LIBBY!
Hurley-"What are you doing here?'
Libby- "What are you doing here?"
Hurley wonders how she knew where he was {because she has to keep tabs on him}.
Libby says Jin
saw him while he was
fishing. Ha! Jin doesn't speak
English! {HA!}
Libby tells him, Sun
translated {Yeah, sure.} Libby just wants to know what's going on with him.
Hurley blurts out "NO! You're just a
part of me that's
scared. {He takes a step back, closer to the edge}
You don't want me to wake up. Well guess what?
I'm not scared." {
I think he's correct there!}
Hurley edges closer to the edge of the
cliff.
Libby's concerned and feels he's having some sort of
panic attack; she gets that. But she also feels this isn't like him.
That statement surprises Hurley, "Like me?
You don't know me." {Yes she does}
Libby - "I was starting to."
Green eyed Hurley reveals he's so fat that he
killed two people, and has an
imaginary friend. Libby, who also has
green eyes and
blends in with the green of the fucking jungle, tries to
calm him. She fears he's going to
hurt himself.
Hurley yells,
"NO I'M NOT! Cause this isn't happening. None of it! I'm just imagining it. This isn't real life!"
Libby's facial expression has
changed dramatically, she wonders why he would say that.
Hurley feels " Because in
real life... no girl like you, would ever like me..."
{
Libby says all the right things to him. She uses a common psych ward tactic to calm patients down.}
Hurley continues, "
Remember when I said I
knew you from somewhere? {
WATCH LIBBY'S FACE!} Well, maybe, it’s cause
I made you up."
{
Now she's relived that he doesn't really 'remember' her.}
Libby needs to
prove to him that this experience is real so she
tells the story of the things that happened to her on the other side of the island; that Eko brought a man to her who
needed help, "
What was his name?"
Hurley doesn't know because it happened to Libby not Hurley. Libby
buried broken leg Donald, "I
buried a lot of people, Hurley. So don't tell me that that wasn't
real. And don't tell me you made me up; it's insulting."
Hurley- "When you
saw me on the beach this morning, was I
holding a slipper?"
Libby- "No, not that I can
remember, no." {
I call fucking shenanigans! B.S.!} Hurley,
look at me. I am real.
You're real. The way I feel about you that's
real."
She kisses him {
To make him believe.} "
That was real."
Libby- "
Are you ready to go back?"
They look over the edge down to the water.
Hurley asks her if she thinks he really
can change.
Libby-"Yeah, I do."
Hand in hand they walk off.
WATCH LIBBY'S FACE UNTIL THE END OF THE SHOT!! YES!

Dr. Brooks is taking the picture (
No Dave)...Camera pans to a
brunette loopy Libby, also being given her
meds.
Dave is a GREAT EPISODE!!!!!! This episode is telling us outright about prescriptions/drugs/hallucinations/fake/real-imagined/staged/scripted/improvised/appearance changes/emotional changes/an exercise/crazy/mental health. Also there are clues to cells and make up of physical being.
Is Dave real or just Hurley's imagination/subconscious? Is Dave physically on the "Island"? Was Dave really at Santa Rosa? Maybe Dave happened to "slip" away from somewhere to get to Hugo? Hmmmm?

* Libby may have recounted the story about the Tailie's adventures, but if Hurley wasn't there to experience it himself, that recounting "her" experience proves nothing. All it shows is the "experience" Libby had was "hers" and the one Hurley is having is for Hurley.
Each person is having their own "experience" on the "Island".

Clonazepam belongs to a group of drugs called benzodiazepines. Benzodiazepines are medications that help relieve nervousness, symptoms of anxiety, and some types of seizures by slowing the central nervous system. In the United States, clonazepam is sold under brand name Klonopin. High doses of Clonazepam causes Anterograde
amnesia memory loss, in which new events are not transferred or from short term memory to long term memory. This may be a permanent deficit, or it may be temporary, such as is sometimes seen for a period of hours or days after
head trauma or for a period of intoxication with an
amnestic drug. The deficit makes its sufferers
unable to recall an event which occurred only moments earlier
when their attention has shifted to something else.
* The drug
Heroin is aka
Horse.
*
Revolution- the action by a celestial body of going round in an orbit or elliptical course; also : apparent movement of such a body round the earth (2): the time taken by a celestial body to make a complete round in its orbit (3): the rotation of a celestial body on its axis b: completion of a course (as of years); also, :
a sudden, radical, or complete change.
*
Improvisation is the practice of acting and reacting, of
making and creating, in the moment and in response to the
stimulus of one's immediate environment.
This can result in the invention of new thought patterns, new practices, new structures or symbols, and/or new ways to act.
*

Is Dave is trying to help/protect Hugo from the people at Santa Rosa/Island? It seems that "Dave" is "on to" what was going on at Santa Rosa/Island. Actually it seemed as if it hinted he is a direct link to the "Island". Dave knew he needed to get Hugo out of there before the "powers that be" or "evil puppet masters" get to him. If this insight isn't coming from “Dave” then it's coming from somewhere inside of Hugo who
is aware of what's happening.
Dave says some pretty important lines. Go back and re-read the highlighted clues again. Are we seeing clues to what Dave really knows or to what Hurley really knows? Dave/Hugo, Hugo/Dave, Hugo/Hurley? Confusing, I know.
Is Santa Rosa a place where certain people involved in the “Island” are made to "go", to manipulate them into thinking they're crazy but they are not. They are "programmed", or possibly even "De-programmed"?
Is Santa Rosa on the “Island” not in California or just one in the same?
Is there a clue to the importance of Lostie ROSE?
Hurley doesn't bring much attention to himself on the beach; he blends in. Could he end up being the total opposite of what we perceived him to be? He is fine with being a crazy old dude who lives in a cave and he is a list maker.
Hurley being “in charge of food”… again: I don't think this episode is all about food and his weight, although he has an addiction and issue with punishing himself with it.
Hugo/Hurley must/may be in charge of something more impressive. When does he change or go from Hugo to Hurley? Is it after "said' accident?
Libby's role here: Is she privy to this exercise? I think, YES. Could Libby know “Dave” is there? Could she really see Dave's slipper in Hurley's hand. Libby's body language and facial expressions tell me that it's not all about concern for Hurley; it's much more than that. Is she "on his side", there to keep tabs on him or to steer Hurley in to the next move?
The slipper is real; it is three dimensional, it can be held. Dave hits Hurley with a coconut, just as he slaps him in the hospital to prove reality. Don’t forget Brooks says hello to Dave in the game room. Again I ask if Dave wasn't really there,
would a Doctor "feed into a patient’s illusion/delusion" and say hi to imaginary friend?
Remember I have always felt that
Flashes are not in linear- time order. When did the “accident” really happen and where did that accident happen? OK, indulge me. Just imagine for a moment that accident happened on the Pala Ferry dock or somewhere else on the Island. Don't laugh! We'll just keep that in mind for the future and see if and where the “accident” shows up again.
The very vibrant pictures on the walls in the Doctor's office and the hatch: Could they be something more than artwork? A trigger perhaps or just a subliminal hint to show us “Island” events and “outside world” events are
blurred together.
Who is Fake Henry? Which parts of fake Henry's stories are real and what's not? Why can't he tell the Castaways the truth about everything? Fake Henry is obviously in a role of great importance. Just as there are people in play to protect him, he is in turn protecting something as well! He obviously is a person
who is not what we think he is.
Who is protecting whom/what?
I'm telling you that Hurley is very important to all that we're seeing. Are there two sides to him and two …..?
Is Dave a real person from the past or present? Is he a guide? Dave very well may be part of Hurley's memory, made up or outright part of his subconscious.
Either way we see
Hurley realizing on some level that he is aware of the "whole" and “truth” of his situation. The bottom line here is Dave outright tells Hurley that things are "faked", manipulated; Kinko's, Photoshop...contrived. But how?
Could the "magic numbers" be a psych out for something else?...Hmmm. If Dave isn’t really physically there or is an illusion who else on the "Island" isn’t real or is just an image?
The “Island” won’t let Hurley lose weight and “Dave” won’t let him lose weight. This comment from Libby reminds me of when Locke was the representative of the “Island” in asking Charlie for the drugs in return the “Island” will give something back. I still must keep that info about Locke being part of the “Island” close at all times.
Hugo/Hurley is not even in the game yet still seems to be looking for something. I feel like the "Island" adventure is part of an exercise to help them find themselves. If they are all trapped on the “Island” does Dave/Hurley know how to escape the game, how to wake up and be “brought back to life”?
Remember that everybody loves Hurley, but everybody hates Hugo.
Hurley holds the key to something BIG here, he’s very important. I can't wait to find out what it is. Maybe we have to wait until the above mentioned "BIG FINALE" to find out.
Love to all who are "Lost"™

The one thing I don't need to do here is rehash all of the obvious clues from an episode; we all know what they are. Understood? Let the fun begin! I'll only note things that I know come up as clues later, but need to be noted when they first show up and things I find that will be of importance.
