Hurley's yelling "Daaaave!" down at the surf. Looks like he's been taking name-screaming classes from Michael. ["Who?" -- Sars] Libby shows up and asks him who Dave is. Hurley's all freaked out, wanting to know what she's doing here, and how she knew where he was. "Jin saw you while he was fishing," she says, and Hurley thinks he's caught her in a lie because Jin doesn't speak English, but Libby offers the very reasonable explanation that Sun translated. She asks Hurley what's going on. He says she's just the part of him that's scared: "You don't want me to wake up. Well, guess what? I'm not scared!" He's not very convincing, especially as he's taking a couple of steps backwards towards the edge. Libby says she "gets" that he's having a panic attack, but this isn't like him. "Like me? You don't know me," says Hurley. Libby says she was starting to. Hurley decides to speed up the process by telling her he's so fat that he's killed two people, and that he has an imaginary friend. I had an imaginary dog once. It ran away. How fucking sad is that.
Libby's worried that Hurley's going to hurt himself, but Hurley says he won't because none of this is happening; he's just imagining it. "Why would you say that?" asks Libby. "Because in real life, no girl like you would ever like me," is Hurley's answer. I suppose this is meant to be heartbreaking, but that assumes that the audience has forgotten Starla, just because Hurley seems to have. The other interesting thing is I guess there are no reruns of The Drew Carey Show where Hurley lives.
