Rebirth Page #3

How about a big Rebirth round

of applause for Kyle?

[all cheering]

[all] Rebirth, Rebirth, Rebirth.

That's right.

When I realized what Rebirth demands

and the doors it opens,

I was scared as sh*t.

You know who's really scared? The zombies.

[man 1] Oh!

[man 2] Boo!

[host] They're scared we're a cult.

How about it? Are we a cult?

[all] No!

Well, then say it. Not a cult.

[all] Not a cult.

- Repeat it.

- [all] Not a cult.

Not a cult. Not a cult. Not a cult.

[woman] I think you need to leave.

Not a cult.

[host] That's right.

- I said, I think you need to leave.

- [host] A cult doesn't ask questions.

- A cult gives you answers.

- What?

- Are you talking to me?

- [host] I want you to question everything.

A cult doesn't let you leave.

You don't belong in this room.

[host] We only have this building till

manana. You guys have to leave.

Are you serious? I...

Because of what he said?

I'm pretty sure

he was just using me as an example.

- [host] We're asking, keep this secret.

- I'm cool. It's cool.

[woman] You need to leave.

[host] You're trusting

that you're with people...

- You seriously want me to leave?

- Before I bring up our next guest...

- ...let's say a few words about... F*** it.

- Fine.

- Fine.

- You all know who he is.

Please give a big Rebirth welcome

to Jesse.

[all] Rebirth, Rebirth, Rebirth.

[Kyle] Did I do something wrong?

My friend, Zack, signed me up for this.

I have no idea what I'm supposed to do.

Can I just see if he's here maybe?

Or...?

Why are you doing this?

Why am I doing what?

Why did you make me leave?

- I didn't make you leave.

- Are you serious? You said...

You said, "I think you should leave."

What...? Oh, come on.

Because, like, you didn't force me

to leave, so I should...?

Should I go back? [chuckles]

Why do you think I asked you to leave?

[chuckles] You said I didn't belong.

So, I don't know,

was I not cool enough or...?

Who exactly are you, anyway?

Are you, like, in charge or...?

Why do you think not belonging

is such a bad thing?

- Isn't that the whole point?

- Whole point of what?

This. Of this.

The point of what?

Okay. [chuckles]

Okay, okay, so, is this how this works?

Is this how what works?

Uh... [chuckles]

Is this, like, an exercise?

This whole thing?

- What whole thing?

- Heh.

You're not gonna stop, are you?

Okay, so should I...?

I'll go back to the thing now.

- What thing?

- The thing.

The seminar, dance party, whatev...

The whole reason I'm here.

Okay, okay, I'm going.

So, that's the reason you're here?

Well, I don't know.

Is there something else?

Would you like there to be something else?

I don't know. What else is there to do?

What would you like to do?

[chuckles]

I've never been to one of these things

before. Why don't you tell me?

Why don't you ask me the question

you really wanna ask?

Okay, well, what is...?

What question is that?

Why did I single you out?

Okay, okay, why did you single me out?

Why do you think I singled you out?

Because I'm the new guy

and you guys wanna do something to me?

Do you wanna do something to me?

No, no.

I don't... I don't... I wasn't...

I don't... I mean, what? I...

Is that okay with you?

Is it okay with you?

Look, no, no, no, I don't...

[chuckles]

I mean, that depends on what you wanna do.

What...

...are we talking about?

What's rule number two?

Oh...

- No leaders?

- What do you think that means?

It means we can...

do whatever we want.

Oh, f***. Oh, man.

- So, what do you wanna do?

- I don't know.

I honestly don't know. I...

I'm terrible at this. Please just tell me.

Why don't you just say it?

Is it because you don't know?

Or you're afraid

that I might judge your answer?

[chuckles]

No...

Would you like to go to the Wish Room?

The what?

What's the Wish Room?

What do you think it is?

[chuckles]

I... I imagine it's a room where you make

a wish and it comes true?

Is that the kind of room

that you'd like to go to?

I mean, who wouldn't, right?

I don't know. Who wouldn't?

So, what you're saying

is that I ask you, tell you,

to take me to the Wish Room

and you'd take me there?

Do you think that's the way this works?

Take me to the Wish Room.

[man over speakers] Relax.

[man speaks in French]

[in English]

You're floating away.

Breathe.

Breathe.

[sighs]

[man speaks in French]

[door opens]

[in English]

You are floating away.

Oh, sorry.

[man speaks in French]

[in English]

Surrender to the power of the ocean.

Breathe.

[whale calls playing over speakers]

[woman panting]

What the f***?

Hey!

[in English]

Surrender to the power of the ocean.

[man speaks in French]

[in English]

Breathe.

Jesus Christ.

[all chanting]

Rebirth! Rebirth! Rebirth!

Hello?

Where'd everyone go?

[man 1] Be quiet.

[man 1] We're all good, right? All good?

Oh.

Hi. Sorry. Uh...

No, no, no. Come on in, please.

Uh... No, I... I... I...

Welcome. Join us.

Okay, but I'm a fetus, I guess. [chuckles]

I'm just looking for the big room.

Oh, we have plenty of space in here.

Please, have a seat.

Right. Okay, okay. Sorry.

All right.

Hi. Hi.

Sorry.

What's your name?

Uh, Kyle.

Kyle.

I'm Air.

- Hi.

- I feel like I knew you were coming.

[chuckles] Did you feel it, too?

Um... Well... [chuckles]

We're really glad to have you join us.

Join our circle.

Thank you. Great. Yeah, me too. [chuckles]

Okay, everyone, relax.

Close your eyes.

Relax.

Breathe.

Breathe.

Feel each other's presence.

There's something else in the room,

isn't there?

Does everyone else feel it?

It's floating.

Somewhere...

over there.

Over Kyle. Near the ceiling.

Oh. It's a wave of pure white light.

Breathe it in.

[Air gasps]

Something's not right.

Something's not right.

I feel like it wants to hurt me.

Like it's inside of me,

touching me with it's...

Oh, God, who brought this thing in here?!

[man] You okay?

- It's okay. It's okay, what's wrong?

- I'm sorry.

I lost the connection.

I'm so sorry. I'm trying so hard.

Don't be sorry. Let's explore that.

When did you lose it?

Mmm.

Well, I think I might know the answer.

You mind if I say it?

Was it when this a**hole burst in here

like a wet fart?

[Kyle] Wait. Wha...?

Hey, hey, hey, it's okay, it's okay.

It's over, okay?

Come on, come on.

There you go, there you go.

- It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.

- I am so sorry.

Why don't you go ahead

and have a seat, okay?

There you go.

- Hey, I'm sorry. I...

- Hey, hey, hey, it's okay. It's okay.

It's okay. You're okay, right, Air?

See? See? No one got punched in the face.

All right? Let's reboot. Not restart.

It's good.

Okay, so...

How about we try it again? Yup?

[clears throat]

Kyle? You wanna give it a shot?

- I don't know what you guys are doing.

- Don't worry, no one's gonna bite.

Stand up.

- Come on, stand up.

- Sorry.

There you go.

[exhaling]

There you go. Are you good?

- Yeah, I'm... Yeah.

- Okay. All right.

Okay, come on.
