Hurley: But I got better. I changed.
Dave: Changed? What, are you kidding me? Take a look at yourself. You've been on a deserted island for over two months and you haven't dropped ten pounds. How is that even possible, man? (edit) Hurley: So this is all just in my brain?
Dave: Every rock, every tree. Every tree frog. Even me. The real me, the one they told you was imaginary? He went out the 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. (edit) Hurley: You don't know me.
Libby: I was starting to.
Hurley: Yeah, well did you know I'm so fat that I killed two people? And that I have an imaginary friend? (edit) Hurley: This isn't real life.
Libby: Why would you say that?
Hurley: Because in real life, no girl like you would ever like me. Remember when I said I knew you from somewhere? Well, maybe it's because I made you up? (edit) Dave: (To Hurley) Oh, oh, oh, can you taste that? That is freedom, baby. You know what tastes even better than freedom? Cheeseburgers. (edit)

Island events in this episode take place on November 22nd 2004. (edit) Numbers: 8 and 23

The deck that collapsed was meant to hold 8 people but had 23 on it. (edit) In the beginning of the episode when Hurley falls over, while chasing Dave, Jorge cut his hand open on a piece of glass left in the jungle. In a following scene when Hurley picks up a box of Dharma crisps he has a plaster on his hand, as both scenes were shot in the same day. (edit) So far this is the only episode of the entire show which ends with a flashback scene. (edit) On Libby's table is a Mancala game board. (edit)

Starbucks

After Charlie sees Eko building something, he asks, "Is it a Starbucks?"

Starbucks is one of the largest, most well known coffee shop chains in the world. Charlie refers to it because it is commonly said that there is a Starbucks on every corner. (edit) Dave: ...Photoshop.
Photoshop is a very popular image editing application for the PC. You can manipulate any image and even "erase" someone in a picture as Dave points out. (edit) Connect Four

Leonard and Hurley playing Connect Four
Dave: "Pretty sneaky, Leonard."
This is in reference to a TV commercial from the 70's for "Connect Four."

A brother and sister are playing the game when the sister announces that she's won, diagonally. The brother says, "Pretty sneaky, sis." The sister then releases the game pieces from the board, as Leonard does after his game with Hurley. (edit) The character Tattoo on Fantasy Island.

Charlie: Did anyone see a plane last night?
Sawyer: Yeah, I saw it Tattoo. I just decided not to tell anyone.

Sawyer is referring to the famous TV character Tattoo (played by Herve Villechaize) who was a memorable fixture on the 1970's series Fantasy Island. He's most famous for the quote, "The plane! The plane!" (edit) Movie: My Own Private Idaho

Dave says to Hurley, "You are in your own private Idaho," referring to this 1991 film in which two friends that are street hustlers also have their own mental problems and issues.
