Favorites:

1. "Do you think I care that you're a celebrity? You crashed your Camaro in the wrong neighborhood." Big Mike "I'm not a celebrity." Hurley "Is that why you kept shouting “Hey, I'm one of the Oceanic six”? You wanna know a funny coincidence?" Big Mike
2. "I'm gonna get a doughnut, you want one?" Big Mike
3. "What are you doing, Reyes? Huh, you trying to get tossed into the nuthouse? Because if that's what you want, I can make that happen right now my friend." Big Mike "You can? (Hurley hugs him) Oh, thank you. Thank you. Thank you." Hurley
4. "Seriously, we're all on the way back to the beach right now, so you better pack your bags buddy (he winks at Ben)." Jack
5. "You know you must be very proud with Bernard, I hear he's quite the hero." Claire "But, everyone up here knows that the real hero is your man, Claire. If Charlie didn't turn off that gizmo, we'd still be getting a busy signal on that fancy phone. So, you'd better make sure you treat him real good when we get back." Rose "Rose!" Claire
6. "(Hits Ben in the face) She's not your daughter!" Rousseau
7. "Did I ever tell you I won the lottery? I had like a hundred and fifty million dollars. Worst thing that ever happened to me." Hurley "Oh yeah, who needs a hundred and fifty million dollars, right?" Bernard
8. "I wanna do a cannonball. I've been walking up and down this beach everyday and looking out at this water. And I wanna do a cannonball." Hurley "Hurley. You wanna do a cannonball? Cannonball." Bernard

11. "Better call the boat. Tell them she's getting a real big bundle of firewood." Ben
12. "Okay, I probably should have told you that I saw her take the phone but you beat me up, Jack. I owed you one. She found the right trail too but you wouldn't listen to her, so I guess she's taken matters into her own hands. But, look on the bright side, at least somebody around here knows what the hell they're doing." Ben
13. "Okay, prove it. [Charlie slaps Hurley] All right, okay." Hurley
14. "I'm not listening to this. No, because you're not here." [Hurley covers his ears and squints his face] "I am here, you're being a baby." Charlie

Notes:

1. Hurley went to visit Leonard Simms in Santa Rosa before the crash, but after the crash he's not there anymore. What happened to him?
2. Matthew Abbadon is so fucking creepy.
3. The whispers, From DarkUFO: Man: "Come to me, I need you. You're an alchemist and uh..." Woman: "I need-" Man (Sounds like Christian Shephard): "Sarah, Is somebody coming?" Woman: "They must be coming, you-" Man: "Hush! One of these-"(Shushing- shhh, shht!) Woman: "Richard!"Man: "Come with us."Woman: "Here's the recipe."Man: "Oh thank you, I thought I'd lost-" Hurley: "Uh oh."
4. Jack was actually going to kill John Locke.
5. Personally, I think this was Jorge Garcia's strongest episode to date.
