Lost Pilot Script Questions

The writers reveal character by dialogue and action for Jack, Kate, Hurley and Boone by giving them distinct one-liners or short spurts of speaking.  We first see Jack trying to help another person by having others help him to show he is kind of a leader and go-to guy.  Kate is shown being scared to do something for Jack but after a little talking, she overcomes her fear and agrees to do it.  Hurley retorts to Jack when he asks him to do things in a kind of unwilling sort of way.  Boone is a sort of stereotypical lifeguard and that he does not really know what he's doing but is willing to do things just for the sake of it possibly be helpful.  Jack talks in a more civilized and polite manner while still giving orders.  Hurley is talks more like a youthful guy and has enough in him to be a little sarcastic.
