into the nurturing earth. Into the life-giving sea.

Aaah!

Aaah!

And now we focus on the wide Arctic silence.

Aaah!

John, let it all out.

Aaah!

Aaah!

There's a terrible banging noise in my head.

There's a constant banging noise. Oh, God.

Make it go away.

It's my father.

My father.

My father beat me.

It's OK, John. It's OK.

It's only now in the company of this group of... of men

that I can finally face my grief.

Why? Why?

He died and I couldn't speak to him and I had so many questions to ask.

Thank you, John.

But why?

Well done. Well done.

Yeah, nice one, John,

That was so illuminating.

That was great.

Cheers.

- Right.

- Is it me, next?

'Fraid so.

That's a pretty touch act to follow.

It wasn't an act.

Sorry, I didn't...

Don't feel inhibited, Leo.

It's the honesty stone. All you have to do is to be honest.

I find a member of the group attractive.

Who?

Brendan.

- Can I pass the stone on, now?

- Can you tell us a bit more about your feelings for Brendan?

Is the attraction spiritual? Emotional?

Or physical?

I'm not going to start hyperventilating or anything, am I?

- Not unless you need to.

- No.

OK, well, I suppose on a spiritual level,

I probably do have some affinity with Brendan.

However, if I'm going to be completely honest about it,

I have to say that there's a lot of sexual attraction there, too.

- Er...

- Great.

Great. Go on.

- What, you want me to go into details?

- It's OK, Leo.

I can take it, you know.

What exactly is it about Brendan that turns you on, Leo?

- Is there a particular body part?

- Well, um...

I would say what we've got here is a pretty hot package, really?

From head to toe and...

If Brendan were

batting with the same team as me, as it were, then, yeah, I'd ask him out.

Come on, guys, don't make me feel like a freak,

I'm sure I'm not the only one who's noticed Brendan is a handsome man.

He's all right.

Christ.

Er, Brendan...

I just wanted to say...

I'm sorry if I embarrassed you, you know.

- No.

- I guess I just got caught up...

- Fine, you didn't embarrass me.

Well, I think I did.

Well, you know, it was a bit of a bombshell, yeah but...

But actually, you know, I felt kind of flattered.

- What?

- Nothing.

What? What? Did I say the wrong thing, or what?

I guess, that... You know, I guess it sounded a bit patronising.

- Did it?

- Yeah, it did a bit.

Well, Christ, well, pardon me.

- No offence meant, you know.

- It's OK.

I'll see you next week, yeah?

Look, I'm sorry. Do you want to go for a quick pint or something?

You know... you know... I've got an early start in the morning.

- You know.

- Yeah, yeah, I know.

- Next week, yeah?

- Yeah, all right, then.
