- That sounds very good.

- All right, get in.

- You want me to get in?

- So, get in here?

- Yeah.

- What's going to happen to me in there?

- Oh, hey, you're gonna see.

You'll find out.

The purpose of this suit, Mr. Markovski,

is to help shut down...

your everyday perceptions

and give up your usual identity...

- that you think separates you from everything.

- [ Heart Beating ]

This room,

this street...

this town, this country,

this economy...

this history,

this planet.

Your body,

your senses,yourjob.

Everything that

you identify with.

Hey, man. How's it going?

You're an a**hole.

We will f***ing

destroy you, deary.

- Got Shaquille O'Neal. I like Shaq.

- [ Girl Squeals ]

Hey.

- Brad Stand.

- Hey, how are you?

So what's the Open Spaces

take on that?

Well, I think you guys

can definitely rebuild in areas...

that are already run-down

instead of tearing up new land.

- [ Albert's Voice ] New land. New land.

- We're open to that.

That's who we are at Open Spaces.

We can't throw that away.

We're not asking you to throw that away.

I'm not gonna bullshit you, right?

Part of this is we took a beating in the press

for all our growth.

Opening so many stores

in such a short time.

So if we work with you

and your Open Spaces Coalition...

is that gonna help

the Huckabees image?

Yes. Does it

help me? Yes.

Do I benefit from getting some great P.R.

for Huckabees when we need it? Absolutely.

But do I care about

saving the open spaces? Yes, I do.

[ Woman Moaning ]

Don't look at me.

What's wrong with you?

Beat it, you little p*ssy.

- What's wrong with you?

- P*ssy.

- You're an a**hole.

- [ Gasping ]

- How are you? Okay? You doing okay?

I thought you said that

was going to relax me.

Eventually, but you have to

practice at home. Okay?

You got a lot of layers

in there, don't you? Huh? All right?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

How am I supposed to practice at home?

I don't have one of these.

It doesn't matter.

What you can do-- It--

Just use an eye mask

or shut your eyes, okay?

Oh.

Oh.

Um, hi. What should

I be doing?

Whatever you normally do.

[ No Audible Dialogue

Or Sound Effects ]

[ Machine Beeps ]

[ Woman ] i wanted to thank you

for what you did with the oak tree.

i played in that tree when i was little.

i thought we had a chance...

- but they chopped it to pieces.

- [ Phone Ringing ]

[ Woman's Voice ]

Hi. i have some questions...

about power lines over the playground

where my daughter goes to school.

Please call me.

i'm Marjorie at 96--

- Hey, we got to talk, man.

- Hey, what's going on? Where is everybody?

- Brad moved the meeting.

- He what?

- To Huckabees corporate.

- Listen. Okay. I want you to do this.
