Cheech wakes Hurley up and immediately grosses him out by hinting about his mother's lovemaking abilities. Rise and shine, little Hurley! The Cheech says that if Hurley does one thing with him and it doesn't work, then Hurley can go to Australia. What's the one thing? The Cheech promises to break the curse. By going to a psychic. Sure, good plan. That's how I got out of my last lease and my last relationship. The psychic deals the tarot deck and reads in the cards that Hurley just came into a great deal of money, that he isn't happy, that she sees numbers, dark scary numbers, dead numbers. Hurley is sort of impressed, but still skeptical. She sees death. Death all around him, with more to come! The psychic asks for his hands. She tells him he is cursed. He looks freaked. Really freaked. She tells him the only way to get rid of the curse is to... strip off his clothes and cover himself with eggs? He cracks. Heh. He offers her a thousand dollars if she'll admit that his dad put her up to this. She says hell no, the mystical arts cannot be bought. He offers her $10,000, and she looks egg-static and tells the truth. Hurley storms out while The Cheech protests that he was only trying to help. Hurley wants to know who he was trying to help. What were you egg-specting, there, Cheech?
Back on the Island, Hurley mumbles to himself about hope and cars and help while Sawyer teaches Jin the manly art of English: "Beer." "Car." "International House of Pancakes." He turns on Hurley and asks him what he's doing. Hurley claims he's praying for help. Sawyer chucks a beer at his head and says I got your help right here, dude. I totally dated a guy like that. Charmer. The beer rolls away, and Hurley follows it, and gets a big ol' goofy grin on his big ol' goofy face. Cut to Charlie on the beach, staring out at the ocean. Hurley tells him to pull himself together, stop moping, and come help get the magic bus moving! Charlie doesn't see the point of starting a van on an island with no roads. Hurley pulls a Cher, slaps Charlie, and tells him to snap out of it. He then launches into what is clearly a rousing speech because Charlie agrees to go. In case you want to draft an inspiring speech of your own, the elements to include are: looking death in the face and laughing, being victorious over enemies both seen and unseen, having a bit of fun, and of course making your own luck. .
