So apparently, Desmond went back out to his boat, which we see on the bow is called "Elizabeth," from Newport Beach, and now he's rowing back in to shore in a rubber raft. Sayid meets him and helps him pull it in, and says he needs Desmond's boat. Desmond tells him not to waste his time, because there's nothing on it. I'm sure that the first thing someone stranded on a deserted island would want from a boat would be to loot it, Desmond. Sayid says he wants to get to the North Shore as quickly as possible. "Off to see the hostiles, are ya?" says Desmond, who doesn't actually want to hear any more, saying "ignorance is bliss." Also, drunkenness is bliss! Judging from the bottle he's got, Desmond's already working on that, and he tells Sayid the boat's all his. Sayid doesn't know how to sail, though; Desmond fails to see how that's his problem.
We flash back to a coffeeshop, apparently in the U.S., where Desmond is ordering whatever drink has the most caffeine from the nonplussed barista, only when he checks his wallet, he only has Scottish money. He apologizes, saying he only just arrived, and has spent all his American money on a taxi. He comes to the U.S., thinks ahead enough to get some U.S. currency, but only gets enough for a taxi? Whuh? He gets his four dollar coffee paid for him by none other than Libby, whose hair is some sort of shoulder-length strawberry-blond deal that made me say, "Holy shit! Special guest star Goldie Hawn!"
