its dialog like this that makes hurley one of my favorite characters on lost:

hurley: i don’t know why you won’t just admit it, you can trust me, i talk to lots of dead people

miles: you have conversations with them like they’re your pals?

hurley: sure all the time, sometimes we even play chess

miles: you actually see them?

hurley: of course, why wouldn’t i?

miles: because that’s not how it works

hurley: ah ha! you wouldn’t know how it works unless you can do it

miles: what i can do has nothing to do with chatting with ghosts you nitwit, its a feeling, a sense, when somebody is dead their brain stops functioning, which means there is no more talking, there’s just who they were and whatever they knew before they died

hurley: its how it works for me

miles: great, i’m happy for you

hurley: you’re just jealous my power is better than yours

never mind what he was writing all the time in his dharma initiative notebook for george lucas…
