Scenes with Hurley Reyes 68
Hurley
So when'd you become so paranoid?
If you'd spent the last two years doing the things I was doing, you'd be paranoid, too.
Hurley
Oh, yeah? Paranoid like what? What kind of things?
I was working for Benjamin Linus.
Hurley
Wait. He's on our side now?
Listen to me, Hurley. If you ever have the misfortune of running into him, whatever he tells you, just do the opposite.
[At drive through]
Hurley
Wanna fry?
Hurley
You know maybe if you ate more comfort food, you wouldn't have to go around shooting people.
Hurley
So that dude you pocked outside Santa Rosa, who was he?
I don't care. He was armed and he was watching you. That made him an enemy.
Hurley
You think he was going to kill me?
I'm not taking risks after Bentham died.
Hurley
You mean Locke?
Hurley
I need a cool code name.
Hurley
Dude they'll find out.
Not if we stick to the story.
I don't know, Jack. It could be a risk.
It's the only way. We have to do this.
Look, we're running out of time. We've got to make a decision now. So are we all okay with this?
This is a decision that will affect the rest of our lives. I'm not taking it lightly.
[Sun nods]
Sorry you got dragged into this, but we need to know that you're with us.
Whatever you guys decide, I'll just roll with.
Hurley
I don't think we should lie dude.
We need to protect the people that we left behind, Hurley.
Hurley
How does lying protect them?
It protects them from Charles Widmore. The guy hired a boatload of people to kill all of us. He faked the plane crash, and you think telling him the truth he's just gonna.. he's gonna leave them alone?
Hurley
[To Penny] Look he's your dad right? Can't you just like.. call him off?
PPenny
There's no calling my father off.
Hurley
But, he'll never find 'em. I mean the Island disappeared, we all saw it, it's gone... BLUP!
You thing anyone's gonna believe that? Believe any of it? They're gonna think you're crazy.
Hurley
Unless someone backs me up.
[He looks at Sayid]
Hurley
Sayid, come on. They'll think I'm nuts if I tell the truth but what if we all do? I mean if we can stick together, we can make 'em believe us. I don't wanna spend the rest of my life lying, do you?!
No, but I don't believe we have a better choice... I'm sorry Hurley but we have to lie.
Hurley
You know what dude? I'm gonna remember this. And some day you're gonna need my help and I'm telling you right now... You're not getting it.
[After being pulled over]
Hurley
Okay, okay, okay. Just stay calm.
[Cop knocks on window, Hurley rolls it down]
CCop
What the hell where you thinking?
Hurley
... Ana Lucia?
You were driving like a maniac. And why'd you pull over?
Hurley
I just... I thought...
You didn't think. What if I were real? What if a real cop stopped you? They already have pictures of you covered in blood with a gun in your hand.
Hurley
Actually, it's ketchup. We, uh, went to a drive-through and uh...
Bro, you need to pull it together. You've got a lot of work to do.
Hurley
I do?
Let's start with the basics. First off, you need new clothes. Then, you need to go to a safe place and take Sayid to somebody you trust. You getting all this?
Hurley
Yeah.
Then get to it. And stay away from the cops. Do not get arrested.
Hurley
Thanks, Ana Lucia.
Oh, yeah... Libby says hi.
Hurley
Ahh! [Throws Hot Pocket at him, misses and it hits wall] Get away from me. Get away!
Hugo, I know you're in trouble. And I can assure you, I've taken care of everything. I have a car waiting for us out back. The police didn't see me come in. I can get you out of here.
Hurley
No way, dude. Sayid warned me about you.
I'm taking you to Sayid. He's with Jack. That's why I'm here, Hugo. Jack called me. How else would I know that they're together?
Hurley
No. You're playing one of your mind games. They'd never trust you.
In their defense, I'm not an easy person to trust. But they came around when they realized that we all want the same thing.
Hurley
And what's that?
To go back to the island. Come with us, Hugo. And this'll be over. You can stop hiding. You can stop worrying about the stories and the deceptions. If you come with me, you won't ever have to lie again. Please... Let me help you.
Hurley
Never, dude.
[Hurley turns and runs]
[Having been reunited with Hurley, Kate and Jack at the end of Namaste, Sawyer speaks to the trio for the first time in three years]
Hurley
[To Sawyer] You're alive! DUDE! I can't believe it!
[Hurley embraces Sawyer, lifting him off the ground in the process]
Ha, ha. Easy on the ribs there Kong.
Hurley
Kong...I actually missed that.
[Jack moves in to shake Sawyer's hand]
[Kate approaches Sawyer and hugs him]
Hi. Good to see you, Kate.
[Sawyer looks at the group]
I can't believe it! You're really here. Son of a bitch actually did it. [John] Locke said he was gonna bring you back, but...[looks around] where is he?
Doesn't matter, he's gone.
Hurley
So what's up with you guys in the old Dharma jump suits?
[Sawyer turns to Jin]
[Jin now speaks perfect English]
No. I was waiting for you.
We're in the Dharma Initiative.
They came back to the Island?
No, we came back. And so did you. [Pause] It's Nineteen Seventy-seven...
[In the North Valley, Sawyer retruns with clothes and instructions for Jack, Kate and Hurley. He gets out of the van]
Alright listen. Y'all gonna be the second batch of recruits coming in off the sub. It should be pulling into port right about now so we ain't got much time. [Looks at Jack] Nice suit, doc. Not exactly Island wear, try this.
[Sawyer throws Jack some 1977 style clothes including a shirt and a pair of trousers]
You want us to say we came in on the sub? How's that going to work?
Everyone gets knocked out before the trip, so no one meets each other until we process ‘em.
Look. We need to find the rest of people from the plane.
If there was a plane then Jin will find it. So we've got about ten minutes to make intake or you'll be camping in the jungle for a long time. There isn't another batch of recruits due in for six months.
[Jack turns to Kate]
I think we should listen to Sawyer.
Hurley
I vote for not camping too.
Trust me doc. You'll do what I say then everything will be fine.
[Brief pause. Jack nods in agreement]
[Sawyer followed by the other three get into the Dharma Minivan]
[In his Dharma Minivan, Sawyer drives Hurley, Jack and Kate to the Barracks]
Hurley
Ok. So, it's Nineteen Seventy-seven?
Hurley
And you guys are all members of the Dharma Initiative?
Hurley
Well, you do realise those dudes get wiped out right? I mean I saw the pit where all the bodies got dumped.
Hurley
Well; aren't you gonna warn ‘em? Aren't you gonna stop it from happening?
I ain't here to play Nostradamus to these people. Besides, Faraday's got some interesting theories about what we can and can't do here.
[Jack leans into the conversation from the backseat]
Did you say Faraday? He's still here?
[Miles, Jin and Hurley follow Sawyers plan and start to head out towards the beach. Suddenly they hear something. Jin and Miles raise their weapons, but notice that it's Miles' dad - Dr. Chang who has come to meet them. They lower their weapons]
Dr. Chang? What are you doing here?
I could ask you the same question. [Pause] Please I must know is what your friend Faraday said true? Are you from the future?
[Hurley briefly glances over at Miles and Jin and then turns to Dr. Chang]
Hurley
Dude that's ridiculous.
Oh really. What year were you born?
Hurley
Erm....1931.
[Eyeing Hurley] You're 46?
Hurley
Yeah.....Yes I am.
That means you must have fought in the Korean War?
Hurley
[nervous] There's no such thing...
Hurley
Ok, we're from the future.
[Hurley turns to Miles and Jin]
Hurley
Sorry dudes.
[Flashback to Hurley being released from prison following the events of 'The Lie.' He exits the prison and heads out to a taxi opening the door]
Hurley
Sorry, I didn't see it was taken, dude.
Actually, I'm only going a few blocks, if you want to share...?
Hurley
Cool. You sure?
[Hurley gets into the taxi and sits on the backseat next to Jacob. As the taxi starts to move off, Hurley opens a package of Fruit Roll-Ups and offers some of it to Jacob]
Hurley
You want some? It's cherry.
Hurley
So what were you in for?
Hurley
Jail? I was there because I shot three guys... well, I didn't really. I guess they figured it out. What about you?
Hurley
Then what were you doing sitting outside the prison in a cab?
I was waiting for you, Hugo.
[Jacob smiles at Hurley, who looks unnerved]
Hurley
Oh?! [Pause] Then you must be dead.
Hurley
Then what do you want from me?
I want to know why you won't go back to the island.
[Another long pause]
Hurley
Because I am cursed.
Hurley
Uh-huh. That's why the plane crashed, my friends died: Libby, Charlie. And now they visit me and I can't make it stop.
What if you weren't cursed? What if you were blessed?
Hurley
How do you mean 'blessed'?
Well you get to talk to the people you've lost, seems like a pretty wonderful thing to me.
Hurley
Sure it's wonderful apart from the part where I'm crazy.
I got some news for you, Hugo, and you're just going to have to take my word on this. You are not crazy.
[Hurley looks nervous and confused]
Hurley
Who are you, dude?
JTJacob [to taxi driver]
I'm just up here on the left.
[The taxi stops. Jacob once again turns to Hurley]
Ajira Airways Flight 316 out of LAX leaves in 24 hours. All you have to do is be on that plane. It's your choice, Hugo. You don't have to do anything you don't want to.
[Jacob touches Hurley on the shoulder and exits the taxi leaving a guitar case next to Hurley]
Hurley
Wait! You forgot your guitar!
[Jacob peers back into the taxi answers Hurley and then leaves]
Hurley
Dude, whoever you are you better come out now. I've got a gun and I know how to use it...
[Hurley attempts to cock the gun, while behind him the undergrowth russles. Hurley watches as Jacob appears infront of him]
Hey Hugo. You got a minute?
[Jacob and Hurley walk back to the Dharma Van where a dying Sayid is still lying on the ground. Jacob bends down and examines Sayid while Hurley looks on]
Hurley
Where you going dude? Whats going on? Why are you here? I mean you show up in LA, in the back of a cab and tell me to get on that plane that just so happens to get me back to the island. How did you know that would happen?
[Jacob remains silent, still looking over Sayid]
Hurley
Dude you better start taling 'cause my friend Jin is going to be back any minute and He'll...
Jacob : Your friend Jin won't be able to see me.
Hurley
[Pause] Why not?
Jacob : Because I died an hour ago.
Hurley
Sorry dude. That sucks.
Jacob : Thanks.
[Jacob stands and looks at Hurley]
Hurley
You want me to do something crazy again don't you?
No. All I want you to do is save Sayid Hugo.
Hurley
Well thats why I sent Jin to get Jack, so Jack can...
Jack cannot save him. You have to take Sayid to the temple, the rest of them should be safe there too.
Hurley
The temple? Am I supposed to know where that is?
Jin knows. Ask him to take you to the hole in the wall where he was with the French team. Through that opening you can gain access to the temple.
[Hurley looks around for Jin returning]
Oh and Hugo, do you still have that Guitar Case I gave you?
Hurley
Yeah...
[Hurley looks at Jacob, slightly confused by whats going on]
Hurley
Who are you man?
So nothing? there wasn't anything? No white light? Angels singing? No dead relatives?
Hurley
You're not a zombie, right?
I'm not going anywhere, Hurley.
Hurley
Yeah, I told him you'd say that. That's why he told me to tell you...You have what it takes, Jack.
[Jack stands, shocked] What did you say?
Hurley
I said "you have what it takes." He said you'd know what it means.
And Jacob he's at this Lighthouse?
Hurley
Yeah, I think?
Ok. Well, let's go see Jacob.
[Hurley and Jack are lead by Richard to what they believe will be the Temple]
[To Richard] Where did you come from?
You wouldn't believe me if I told you. Temples this way.
Hurley
So dude whats the deal? Are you time traveling? 'Cause you look exactly the same as you did 30 years ago.
I'm not time traveling. This was a gift from Jacob. Only...It's not a gift at all. Its a curse.
Hurley
So what you're like a Terminator?
[Richard looks at Hurley]
