[man] Welcome, Kyle. I'm Gabriel.

Call me Gabe.

Come. Join us.

This is Kyle's first Rebirth.

He's feeling a little overwhelmed.

He could really use

some unconditional love.

Leave the door open.

Whatever makes you comfortable.

If anybody fucks with me again,

I will call 911.

[all chuckle]

Deal.

[Gabe] Mm.

[woman] Mm.

- Welcome.

- Hi.

Okay. That's all right. Hi.

[Gabe] Kyle.

This circle is about honesty.

It's about saying whatever's on your mind

right now, in the moment.

Okay.

Kyle, I feel like you're really nervous

right now.

Yeah, well...

Yeah, yeah.

[Gabe] That's okay, that's okay.

Just tell us what you're thinking

at this moment.

Now... be honest.

Okay. Uh...

I think this whole Rebirth thing

is pretty f***ed up.

[woman 1] Mm.

[woman 2] Hmm.

[Gabe] Hm.

[all] Mm.

I remember feeling the exact same way.

- I totally empathize.

- Okay, thank you.

Is there something you wanna share

with the group?

Nope, nope. Everything's good.

It's all great. Everything's great.

Thank you, that's fine.

Thank you. Carry on.

You know, I don't...

I don't feel like you're being honest.

I don't feel like that, either.

Yeah, well, what do you want?

All we want is honesty.

Now, if you have

to say something negative...

...just be honest about it.

Okay.

I think this is a f***ing joke.

I think you're all a bunch

of arrogant a**holes

who think you're superior

to everyone because... [chuckles]

I don't know, you're so open-minded,

it'd be okay if someone shot you

in the face?

And I'm f***ing pissed I wasted a day

I could've spent with my kid

doing this hippie bullshit my friend,

who I don't even really know is my friend,

tricked me into.

And I don't know what this is,

but I wouldn't be surprised

if you dick-sacks

are stealing my identity right now.

And I wanna go home.

Is that honest enough for you, Gabe?

I just wanna say

that I'm really connecting

to what Kyle is feeling right now.

Me too.

[Gabe]

What's making you feel connected to Kyle?

I guess, his honesty

about feeling like he doesn't belong,

because I was feeling that way, too.

And I'm glad that someone

just came in here

and called everyone on their bullshit.

[Gabe] Mmm.

Kyle.

How do you feel about that?

Uh, good, I guess.

I'm feeling, like,

a lot of anger out of you.

But, like, a lot of life, too,

- and I don't know, um... vitality?

- [Gabe] Mm.

- And I'm kind of really drawn to that.

- [woman 3] Me too.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm feeling

like this tractor beam of male energy...

that I haven't felt anywhere else

this weekend.

Can I say something weird?

Just stay in the moment.

I feel like,

I go to these kinds of things a lot,

and I meet a lot of guys

who wanna be here.

But I never meet guys

who should be here...

...until now.

And this is probably terrible

to say about a first-timer, but...

I probably shouldn't say it.

Just... tell the truth.

When I look at Kyle...

...I see this...

...huge, angry...

...erect cock.

[women chuckling]

[all chuckle]

Do you feel threatened by the cock?

How does the cock make you feel?

Happy.

Intrigued.

Okay.

Horny.

[Gabe] Kyle.

How do you feel hearing this?

Uh...

I... It...

Good. This... I mean, it's nice.

Thank you.

- [Gabe] Is that all?

- I, uh... Um...

I don't know.

Do you feel any shame having these women

tell you how they feel about you?

No, no.

No, no, no.

I don't know, I don't know.

Oh, good, good. Stay with that.

How about you, Betty?

What do you feel about Kyle right now?

I'm starting to feel really turned on.

I just wanna say that I'm feeling this...

...amazing spontaneity

in the room right now.

[all chuckle]

I feel like we're all

on the same wavelength...

...of breaking through our inhibitions

and doing something really crazy,

don't you, guys?

[all chuckling]

Do you feel like you're waiting

for someone to take the first step?

- Kind of.

- [Gabe] Mm.

Kind of.

Man.

[Gabe] All right.

Now I wanna check back in with Kyle.

Kyle.

Kyle.

How are you feeling?

Do you feel safe?

Uh, heh...

Yeah?

[Gabe] Uh, you know that felt more

like a question than an answer.

- Do you still wanna go home?

- Uh...

[Gabe] Hmm?

[man] Hello?!

[Gabe] Kyle.

What would you like

to have happen in this room?

- [man] Hello?!

- I don't know, I don't...

Not sure.

[man] Hello?

[Gabe] Betty?

[man] Hello?

What do you want Kyle to do right now?

I want Kyle to f*** me.

- Really?

- Yeah.

[man] Please, please.

[Gabe] Kyle, do you wanna do that?

[man] Somebody help me! Please.

I, uh... What is...?

- [man] Please, somebody help me!

- Who is that? What is that?

[man] You f***ing sick motherfuckers!

All right, does anybody...?

Do you hear...? Is that a thing?

Is that part of this?

Why do you think that person

is your responsibility?

[man] This is so f***ed up!

All right, all right, all right.

Jesus. Jesus Christ.

- [woman] I know, right?

- Who is that?

Do you think

that man's needs trump your own?

What is this? Is this part of this?

Is this part of the thing?

You can't return to the same place twice.

[man] I'm being held against my will!

[Kyle] Jesus.

[man] Held against my will!

Anybody. Anybody, please.

Who is that?

- [man] Can anybody f***ing hear me?

- Hello?

What the f***?

- Hello?

- [man] Oh, God, please!

What the hell is going on?

What do you think is going on?

- [man] Is someone out there?

- Who is that?

- Who do you think it is?

- Stop. Stop.

- Stop with that sh*t!

- Stop what?

[man] Anybody, please. Anybody.

Kyle, please stop. He's fine.

- Open the door!

- [man] Is someone out there?

Okay, it's not what it looks like.

He knows he can quit any time.

[man] Hello?!

Hello? Hello?

Goddamn it, is this real?!

Okay, the man behind this door is

at a very delicate phase of his Rebirth.

- Shut up. I don't wanna hear it!

- Okay, just stop.

I never told you about my life

before Rebirth.

I don't care.

I could tell you I was a drug addict.

I could tell you that my kid

was taken away from me.

I could tell you anything,

but it doesn't matter.

What matters is I'm not the same person

I used to be.

- [man] Please.

- I don't even know your name, lady.

Kyle!

Okay, I know this looks crazy,

but he actually needs this.

Jesus, Zack.

- Zack?

- Stop talking to him.

- We need help.

- What are they doing to you?

It's okay. I don't want you

to talk to him. We're getting help...

- Get out of here!

- It's okay, sweetie...

Shut up!

[grunts]

Okay. I'm gonna get you down, all right?

Jesus. F***.

Okay.

All right, all right, hold still.

Oh, I can feel your belly.

What the f*** happened to your pants, man?

- Ha-ha-ha!

- What the hell are you laughing at?

God.

What the f*** did they do...?

- Oh, f***.

- Careful.

One of those buckets is my bathroom.

What?

Hey, did I, like, tell you

how much it means to me

- that you came this weekend?

- Put this on.

- Okay? Put this on.

- Is it time? Is it T-shirt time?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's T-shirt time.
