One's very nice, actually. And he's Irish.

He's got this voice, it sort of washes over you like some dark powerful river.

There's a good manly way of describing a man.

Just ignore him. I think it sounds most therapeutic.

Tell me more.

Well, the good news is

there are some signs of an upturn in the market.

At least, there are signs that the rate at which it is falling is slowing down.

That doesn't sound too hopeful. I'll be frank with you,

the fact that you're on a railway isn't going to help.

I don't know. We rather like the trains.

I appreciate the fact that YOU like the trains.

But will your prospective purchaser?

Here comes one now.

TRAIN THUNDERS BY

How will you sell this place with that racket?

I can sell anything.

Oh sh*t.

What?

Look at this.

Made in Hong Kong.

Most of them are.

For f***'s sake.

What's the matter? Vinyl.

It's just a headboard. Don't stop now. I was just getting moist.

That's textured bloody vinyl. This place is not right.

This is British Home Stores.

The decor doesn't bother me.

This whole room... Look at this.

She's lost her leg. KNOCKING

What was that? Someone's at the door. Hide.

Hide.

30 per cent nylon. 70 per cent bleeding polyester. I'm getting out of here.

I rather like a bit of polyester.

Today, we're going to be passing around the honesty stone.

- Oh, this is great.

- This ritual comes from native American culture.

The stone is passed round clockwise.

If it's given to you, you have to speak with absolute honesty.

about something which is on your mind.

It's a liberating ritual. Don't think of it

as a test. It's an opportunity.

John, why don't you go first?

I feel tense, you know...

nervous.

That's perfectly natural.

Let the stone help you. Hold it.

Hold it.

Allow it to speak to you in its own way.

Allow its energy to open the floodgates of your mind.

I... I don't know what's wrong with me. I...

I can't speak.

Take your time.

Er, I feel like there's this...

blockage in my throat.

G...

Huuu..

John, let it happen. He's spontaneously rebirthing.

- Ugggh...

- Terry, place your hand under John's leg in a supportive and loving way.

I'm going really faint.

No, you are not going to faint. It's just your ego trying to protect itself.

The b-blockage just moved down to my stomach.

Leo, place your hand on John's stomach in a supportive and loving way.

My knees, oh God, the pain.

Adam, his knees.

Let it all go, John.

Let these strong, loving men heal you.

Jesus Christ, the rage...

If you want to shout and scream, shout and scream!

Oh, my feet, my feet!

Great. It's in your feet!

John, try to imagine all the pain draining out of your feet
