The Cleanse Page #5

---

Right. Q-question. When you say

"elimination process," you...

You mean, like...

[IMITATES VOMITING]

Heh, heh, right? 'Cause

I was doing a lot of that

last night, and a lot coming out

the other end too.

LILY:

Yes, Eric.

That is part of

the elimination process.

And, of course, the next stage

will be termination,

and after that,

you're gonna feel wonderful.

Well, I already feel

good as hell, so, heh-heh-heh.

LILY:

That's interesting, Eric.

Most people feel worse

before they feel better.

Laurie has been having

some trouble with her cleanse,

but I have faith

that, in her absence,

she'll be able

to focus and complete.

Yeah.

No, Laurie'll be good.

Fredericks?

And now,

I'd like you to...

...stare into

each other's eyes.

[SCOFFS, CHUCKLES]

LILY:

It's hard, isn't it?

Hard to look into

somebody else's eyes.

I want you all to remember

how hard this is,

because once you move

into the termination process,

once you finish this,

you'll finally be able to stare

into someone's eyes

in a real, meaningful way.

And it will be

a beautiful thing.

[KNOCKS]

Can I talk to Ken?

He'll be here

tomorrow.

He's not...? He'll... When?

Oh, this is just...

You seem upset.

Uh... Something...

came out of me,

I think.

That's perfectly normal.

All of your questions

will be answered

once Ken gets here.

MAGGIE:

Hmm?

PAUL:

I... You...

You were running pretty hard

out there, and then...

you just fell over.

So I brought you

back to your cabin.

Thanks.

Yeah. You probably

shouldn't be exercising

when you're cleansing.

You could hurt yourself.

I read that.

I read it in Ken's book.

We're supposed to limit

physical activity.

Look, um,

I appreciate you

bringing me back

to my cabin, but I'm...

Oh.

...good now.

- Thanks.

- Okay.

[CREATURE COOING]

Yeah.

[COOING CONTINUES]

What the hell is that?

You haven't seen your...?

Are you sure you're ready?

I know it's weird

at first, but I...

I kind of like mine now,

and if you think about it,

it's kind of amazing...
