The Cleanse Page #4

to take part in this retreat.

I'd also like

to say thank you.

It takes great courage

to do this.

[]

It is not easy

to put yourself out there.

To... To risk judgment.

It's one of the hardest,

but most important,

things that we can do.

We all have our baggage, folks.

It's part of being human.

And letting it go

can be scary.

And confusing.

And what makes it

so confusing is that,

over time, well, we've actually

come to depend on it.

It's become familiar to us.

Like a best friend

to get us through the day

or a stuffed animal that...

That keeps us cozy at night,

and we cling to it

because we don't know

any better.

Especially when we're scared.

Now, the cleansing process

here won't be easy.

But we are

extraordinarily proud

of the system

we've created,

and so excited to take part

in this next step with you.

But you'll need to find

that inner strength.

It's over to you now.

I know you all have it,

and I'm so looking forward

to meeting you all

in the next few days.

Let's get pure.

Stupid.

F***ing stupid. Stupid.

F***ing,

f***ing stupid.

Did I spook you, babe?

[SNICKERING]

Yeah.

Sorry.

[EMPTY BASKET RATTLES]

[SIGHS]

So Lily and Fredericks

are weird as hell, huh?

You sure you did your research

on this place?

Ken Roberts

has helped a lot of people.

And... couples.

Mm-hm. Mm-hm.

Okay, well, I-I-I still

don't understand why

we need help,

but, uh, okay.

[BASKET RATTLES]

[GROANS]

You finished

all of yours?

Yup.

Here.

What you do is...

You ready?

Grab your nose,

[NASALLY]

and pinch it,

and then take a sip,

and it should help.

[GAGS, SPITS]

[CHUCKLES]

[SPEAKING NORMALLY]

That was hot.

Shut up.

[GIGGLES]

Okay, so...

What is this thing?

What are...? What are we doing?

Are we supposed to...?

We do this, we leave here,

and we-we feel different, right?

We feel enlightened,

is that the deal?

Mm-hm.

I guess enlightenment

could be rad.

[METAL LID CLATTERING]

Want a nightcap?

Come on, don't...

Don't look at me like that.

You're acting like

I'm an alcoholic or some sh*t.

LILY:

I know it's exhausting,

but you should take

great pride in the fact

that you've completed

your cleanse,

and that you're moving on

to the elimination process.
