WFTB – S1E18 Numbers – Live TweetUp Transcript

Can I just say this one thing: I. Love. Hurley. Total man-crush on the dude-spewing dude. He is the voice of the audience on the crazy island and also the moral center for the troop of survivors. He's often a bystander, but when he takes action, he takes it decisively. And this is the episode where we begin to uncurl the awesomeness of Hurley (aka Hugo Reyes). We also get the first peek or the mind-scrambling question of 'The Numbers'. What do they mean, why are they EVERYWHERE. Get your easter basket and dive in with us for an easter egg hunt in this episode of LOST.

sweetbippy: hurley cluck cluck

nelly061:oh I forgot the lady reading Hurley's numbers on tv is same one w/ Sawyer from few episodes back

batchoutlost: Hurley is such a kewl dude. If Rosseau's going to trust any of our survivors, he's the chosen one. The numbers found him.

nancymk:Hurley has always been one of my fav characters!

Sefus:I forgot that the whole Numbers thing came before they even got into the hatch. Awesome. 4 8 15 16 23 42

LOST_WFTB:Hugo "Hurley" Reyes Lottery winner...

Sefus:@batchoutlost I never thought of that. The number found HIM. cool!

LOST_WFTB:add @nelly061 to live twits

nyakototo:@Nancymk Definitely. It's impossible not to like Hurley.

batchoutlost: TV: "We haven't had a winner for 16 weeks" Just caught that!. Hurley does a solo "trust fall" :) Too much chicken, dude

islandscientist:Guest Starring Mira Furlan

batchoutlost:@Sefus You're gonna love the ending shot :P

ccollinsmith:Having router problems tonight. Not sure I'll get it sorted out. If I don't I'll just say... 4 8 15 16 23 42!!!

Sefus:"uh.. they just uh... sorta came to me." Hurley when asked where he got the numbers.

LOST_WFTB:We never see much more of his Hurley's brother... but quite a bit of Hugo's mom, who is GENIUS

nyakototo:16 weeks. It adds up to a good number. Makes me wonder.

nyakototo:Poor Tito! :(

LOST_WFTB:Hurley wants some alone time... He's a big guy he gets dehydrated easily. I LOVE HURLEY

nyakototo:@ZachsMind *LOL*

ASHATL:RT @nyakototo: Poor Tito! :( ai ai ai

nyakototo:I love you Locke.

lostdogs10:Going after the French chick

ASHATL:RT @ZachsMind: Pacemaker four years ago//this episode is number manic

islandscientist:Nice musical flashback bleedthrough.

LOST_WFTB:Hurley has a HUMMER (don't mean that to sound dirty)

Sefus:Hurley walking on th beach to some hip-hop. LOL! That was a great little scene.

nelly061: debut of gangsta hurley

sweetbippy: "We are catholic, we don't believe in curses"

LOST_WFTB:Dude, Hurley's a blood, handing out the red bandana.

Sefus:"ever since I won the lottery, It's like... we've had nothing but bad luck" Hurley

batchoutlost: Hurley rocking the Jeep Beats. Good Times? Hurley's due for another Bad Luck FAIL Mom's Bandana= not a drive by after all

nyakototo:Yes but it's an eerie coincidence Mama Reyes.

batchoutlost: Apparently ANY Red Fabric is bad, not just shirts!

nyakototo:I would seriously divorce all that money if I were him.

nyakototo:@batchoutlost I agree. Red is also not entirely good in dreams even.

nancymk:It seems like they are always hiking somewhere on the island with their backpacks, doesn't it?

LOST_WFTB:Hurley is the majority stock holder for a box company in Tustin, hey, Locke works for a box company in Tustin.

lostdogs10:Everyone needs boxes

Sefus:Hurley invested in a box company. Likely the one Locke worked at.

Sefus:The numbers are cursed.

sweetbippy: oh come on Sawyer...you're really reading Mr. Diva?

nyakototo:Curb your Enthusiasm.

nyakototo:That was very Pythonesque. *LOL*

LOST_WFTB:Sawyer had a headache... and more strife at the raft

Sefus:LOL. Michael and Jin just don't get along man.

nyakototo:@Sefus Hulk doesn't really get along with anyone. Or himself. *LOL*

nelly061:"I'm spry"

nyakototo:@ZachsMind That would have been positively mind-blowing if it had been Locke.

LOST_WFTB:We need to find something to release his weight. Charlie, "How we can do that?!?!" Hurley I can make it, I'm spry!

onIsle&Off this ep. Shout for Rosseau?Try whispering! Spry!
that:Hurley, who normally supports the rest, is actively questing

batchoutlost:Awesome

nancymk:Was that John Locke falling from the building while Hurley talks to his accountant?

nyakototo:Who changes a bulb in that crazy manner?! *LOL*

nyakototo:Who changes a bulb in that crazy manner?! *LOL*

LOST_WFTB:Lenny at the Santa Clara Mental Insititute. Connect Four! ... Hurley and Leonard, they hung.

Sefus:Lenny. This is the guy with the numbers.

ccollinsmith:One of my fave Carmen Reyes lines. RT @sweetbippy: "We are Catholic, we don't believe in curses"

islandscientist:4, 8! 15 16 23 42... 4, 8!

LOST_WFTB:@Nancymk now, it wasn't, that happened after Locke was already paralyzed.

batchoutlost: Thinking of A Fish Called Wanda with that Window fall. Hurley's so kind (Warning lightbulb guy) You used the Numbers?-Lenny

ASHATL:I am here, but for some reason tweeter is acting up. Poop

lostdogs10:Where did Lenny get the numbers?

Sefus:"You've opened the box! It doesn't stop! You shouldn't have used those numbers!" Lenny

LOST_WFTB:Hurley used the numbers, and opened the box, and he needs to go see Sam Toomey in Oz.

LOST_WFTB:Dudes, Chill

Psifen: I love that Lenny guy. That scene when he goes nuts about the numbers is great.

sweetbippy: man Hurley has balls of steel! crossing a rope bridge?

ccollinsmith:My husband asked the same. Maybe... RT @nancymk: Was that John Locke falling from the building while Hurley talks to his accountant?

LOST_WFTB:Charlies crossing into Mordor over that bridge!

nyakototo:@LOST_WFTB *LOL*

LOST_WFTB:Jack is acting like a big ol' DAD.

nelly061:have they had enough characters w/ lost body parts to recreate a whole human being

lostdogs10:Charilie could have died crossing the bridge. Course correction?

nyakototo:Oh Charlie. I know about dontopedalogy all too well.

Psifen: Look! its Hurleys real mom! She lives in Austrailia.

nyakototo:They have the same hairstyle.

batchoutlost:Sam Toomey's Wife has the same hairstylist as Jorge Garcia :)

LOST_WFTB:They at least share the same stylist! RT @Psifen: Look! its Hurleys real mom! She lives in Austrailia.

nyakototo:@LOST_WFTB *LOL* Another coincidence.

ccollinsmith:@ZachsMind All I know is that Lenny and Sam do not appear 2b the only ones who heard that broadcast that night 16 yrs ago.

LOST_WFTB:whoa (horse) everyone tweeted the same thing at the same time *cue Twilight zone*

nancymk:@LOST_WFTB isn't Sam Toomey the fake psychic that Claire saw?

islandscientist:Helpful map for this episode: http://bit.ly/OsbZV

ccollinsmith:RT @LOST_WFTB: Charlies crossing into Mordor over that bridge!

Sefus:"A voice repeating those numbers over and over again" Sam Toomey's wife about where her husband got the numbers.

ASHATL:@LOST_WFTB @LOST_WFTB @LOST_WFTB it is a good thing cause I just got it.

nyakototo:@Nancymk Richard Malkin.

batchoutlost:Signs you're a rabid Fan: Getting excited about missing limbs! Gun In mouth 2stop "Running the same scam for 40 years" Widmore?

Sefus:LOL!! RT @Psifen: Look! its Hurleys real mom! She lives in Austrailia.

ccollinsmith:@nancymk No he's not. When you hear the story in Oz you'll know why.

ASHATL:@Sefus so was this voice our friend Hurley back in 1970ish?

LOST_WFTB:@nancymk nope, sam toomey is a different person, and sam's deceased.

islandscientist:From that map it looks like the cable runs to that river the bridge crossed. Maybe there's a dharma power generator on a river?

ASHATL:Anyone thought it was weird to see Locke & Claire together with the crib after her weird dream

batchoutlost:With the cradle, Locke's hinting that we're here for the long haul. Is it Extreme Makeover:Locke Edition,or LOCKEvs.WILD?

islandscientist:Both Danielle and Alex like underground hiding places.

LOST_WFTB:yeah a bit... RT @ASHATL: Anyone thought it was weird to see Locke & Claire together with the crib after her weird dream

nyakototo:#4 invokes grounded nature of all things.

ASHATL:Hum Locke is asking, how is that coming, your memory. I am good at putting bits and pieces together. You Esau, you

sweetbippy: wow, I didn't know there were monkeys in Hawaii?!

ccollinsmith:@ASHATL A little weird yes. But mostly I just thought it was cool that Locke helped Claire be part of the crib's building.

nancymk:"You make your own luck- don't blame it on the numbers"

ASHATL:Is someone shooting at us. Oh my that's funny. So another Charlie gets killed attempt

batchoutlost:Hurley right now echoes my state of mind affter the S5 Finale! I want some f*ing answers! The monster=Pissed off GIRAFFE!

Sefus:So the numbers were coming from the Island all along?

ASHATL:I just love the part when Hurley loses with Frenchie. Angry giraffe.

LOST_WFTB:It is interesting how intertwined Rousseau's story is with the entire story of the castaways...

batchoutlost:@ASHATL If you have to ask "Is there somebody shooting at us?" then you're totally BONED. Numbers and Jacob both recruit!

sweetbippy: they did a great job casting the young Danielle and the present day Danielle...looks just like her.

LOST_WFTB:Then numbers are what brought me here... no Jacob is what brought you there.

Sefus:I"ve lost everything, everyone I've cared about. So I suppose you're right. They are cursed. - French Chick

the:reaction. I'll air dry my hair 2 look = lion king 2.

want:sum freaking answers! Might use that on coworker 2morrow just 2 C

ASHATL:I

islandscientist:A more apropos map: http://bit.ly/10UqSB

Psifen: French chicks need love too!

LOST_WFTB:Hurley is the island GURU! really he's the luckiest guy there.

LOST_WFTB:Interesting here with the cradle too... all this time we think Locke's making something else, and viola a crib.

Sefus:Well... now maybe. Not before he got there. RT @LOST_WFTB: Hurley is the island GURU! really he's the luckiest guy there.

Sefus:Happy Birthday, Claire. Awww.

nancymk:Hurley frequently says what us fans are wondering, doesn't he?

nyakototo:A rocking chair Claire.

ASHATL:@LOST_WFTB oh and it is so creepy in the dark, this scene. Specially when she tells him about giving the kid away and the dream

nyakototo:I adore that scene between Locke and Claire.

onthatbombshell:Not lucky-just awesome. RT @LOST_WFTB Hurley is the island GURU! really he's the luckiest guy there.

LOST_WFTB:@nancymk yes, the writers use Hurley as the greek chorus all the time, one of the reasons he's my favorite lostie.

nyakototo:It's funny how the truth always sounds so far-fetched.

sweetbippy: "I'm worth 156 million dollars" Charlie, "Fine don't tell me!"

LOST_WFTB:If I were hurley, I'd be like all: ACK! The NUMBERS *Shakes Fist*

ASHATL:I am so Charlie sometimes. Like, don't even hear and stick my big foot right in...

lostdogs10:How long have those numbers been there?

Sefus:Numbers on the hatch at the end. GREAT ending. Wish I had seen it the first time.

sweetbippy: maybe the numbers are Hurley's measurements?

ASHATL:@lostdogs10 guessing around the 70s cause it was on the hatch

LOST_WFTB:@lostdogs10 since they stamped the serial number on there in 1977, while Hurley and Miles were talking about TESB

ASHATL:Oivey, this last scene, creeeepyyyy

Hurley:"When you find a laundromat, lemme know" at New Otherton
rare:fuzzy happy moment for. Charlie:"I know food's scarce, but.."

batchoutlost:A

LOST_WFTB:Agreed RT @ccollinsmith: @LOST_WFTB Not just the Greek Chorus but often the moral compass for the Losties.

ccollinsmith:#charliefail RT @sweetbippy: "I'm worth 156 million dollars" Charlie, "Fine don't tell me!"

batchoutlost: More Numbers Fun: Hurley won $156 Million Dollars Gotta Go emboss something Metal with "Theh Numburs" AWESOME BOOM #15#16

Sefus:Great job everyone! Awesome ep. See you next time folks!!

ccollinsmith:@LOST_WFTB It's hard to disagree when it's coming straight from Darlton! (re Hurley's discomfort with the O6 lie).

LOST_WFTB:@ccollinsmith oh, it came from Darlton, then I'll have to disagree! ;)

lostdogs10:Perhaps they were there during Jacob/statue time..dig deeper

batchoutlost:Claire's Dream was the first unstuck in time moment for me. Flashbacks don't count, but they ARE Narative Time Travel.

ccollinsmith:@LOST_WFTB But was Valenzetti equation on the island b4 1977?

nancymk:@Sefus I missed seeing those numbers on the hatch first time I watched it too. Gr8 watching them do it in1977 though

Sefus:@ASHATL Some interesting thoughts. Pandoras? YES. @ASHATL Hurley in the 70's? Hmm... You have proof? just a thought?

nyakototo:The key number is 9.

Sefus:@ASHATL Cool! This show is so awesome. If you happen to remember the episode let me know. Love to check that out.

ccollinsmith:Too bad Charlie never makes it to New Otherton. RT @batchoutlost: Hurley:"When you find a laundromat, lemme know" at New Otherton

ccollinsmith:@batchoutlost re narrative time travel... flashbacks not only provide backstory but get us in practice for time crazyness to come.

ASHATL:Others, you can come back to the hatch now. Wer done. Thank you for your patience. Hope you njoyed your orientation film.

LOST_WFTB:@ccollinsmith what was the term for starting the story in the middle?

ccollinsmith:@Nancymk I recall my husband catching the numbers first time around. I saw them but didn't get they were on hatch. He figured out.
