Some days, he thinks it hurts more than his thumb, still strapped up and healing in the bone. For he first few days, he searched for her and the baby, but, pretty soon, he stopped searching. There isn't much left of her at all; nothing to really remember her by. He searches her house from top to bottom, lies down on her bed for a while but doesn

Hugo likes the rec room. It's pretty good for recreation. Even if it does sort of remind him a little too much sometimes of the Hatch, with the furniture and the everything else. Anyway, he likes it, and sometimes people are there, and sometimes people aren't - he's not sure which he prefers.

Today, someone's there. Someone he doesn't recognize. But anyone who's curled up on a couch and willingly watching St. Elmo's Fire can't be too bad, so Hurley moves over toward him, just close enough to drift a shadow over his face as he looks down and says, "I'm still not sure I really buy Demi Moore as crazy-coke-habit-chick, but Rob Lowe's cool."

"Rob Lowe's not just cool, dude," says Baze, looking up from the screen for a moment. "Rob Lowe's a fucking legend. Unfortunate sexual escapades aside, of course. Brother's made serious errors, obviously, but he's made good since. Even if Brothers and Sisters was kind of awful."

Hurley decides that's as good as an invitation - that the guy is starting up the conversation he was admittedly kind of forcing, instead of just being like, go away. So he leans forward, arms resting on the back of the sofa, staring at the screen. You appreciated old familiar movies more when you'd had to deal without for so long. You could only golf the same course so many times before it started to seem a little old, but somehow a favorite movie always seemed different, every re-watch.

"So why the 80s movies?" he asked. Maybe the guy has reasons like Hurley's, maybe not. But he wants to know other people's business; it's just the way he is.

"There's something really comforting about this kind of movie," he says, because Baze has always fallen into conversation easily. "Shit goes down, the world falls apart, but everything's alright in the end."

Kind of the same reason he loves Starship.

"Those are my favorite, too, I think," Hurley admits, a little reluctantly. This feels like the sort of thing that would get him a ribbing from the people he knows - knew, too. Miles, Sawyer, even Charlie. They were all cynical in different ways, but cynical enough not to give a shit what Hurley's favorite movies were and why.

"The whole, shit goes down, world falls apart, sort of thing. Like, shifting paradigms or whatever. You can't go back, but you can keep moving forward, right? Although action movies are better. I like it when there's, you know, a hero. That you can get behind for the whole movie. But slice-of-life stuff is cool too." He mumbles, stopping himself before he goes too off-topic.

"So, I'm Hurley. I live ..." He waved a hand generally around in the air. "Somewhere. I'm not too great at getting around yet."
