"Right now, we're doing this, um, big Twitter campaign" "for our mortgage division." "Uh-huh." "Turns out, research says that it's, you know, it's super-hard for millennials to get interested in mortgages because of the economy and stuff."

"Oh, my God." "I can't believe you remember that." "Remember?" "Dude, I am never gonna forget the Manifesto as long as..." "Hey, what are you doing Saturday?" "Uh, jeez." "Um..."

"I need Kyle." "And, you know, I think I can get you in." "And it's gonna be amazing, and we're gonna do it." "[chuckles] We're gonna do what?" "We're gonna have, you know, an experience." "[both chuckling]" "Oh, no." "[both laughing]" "Okay." "Okay." "What kind of experience?" "What kind of experience do you want?" "Wow." "Okay." "Um..." "Right?" "And when does--?" "Or how long does this experience take?" "It takes as long you want it to take." "You know what I mean?" "No, no, not really." "Well, can you be any less specific?" "I cannot." "And I will not say another word until you agree to come." "Oh, man, Zack." "I missed you, man. [chuckles]" "I missed you, man." "Why couldn't you have given me, like, any notice?" "Kyle, I really want you to do this with me." "What if I said it was like a workshop?" "Like a motivational workshop?" "Wha--?" "Okay." "[phone rings]" "Social Media, this is Kyle." "Hey, Chad."

"You're fucking killing me." "What'd she say?" "[treadmill beeps] [panting]" "What is Rebirth?" "[chuckles]" "Uh, let me tell you about Rebirth." "I think Rebirth, it's about getting out of your rut." "It's about getting in touch with yourself." "With your body." "[man] We live in a "one life fits all" culture." "And Rebirth dares you to find the life for you." "It's fun." "It's fast." "It's furious." "It's crazy." "It's a blast." "[woman 1] People talk about the high that they get when they climb Everest." "I don't need Everest." "I have Rebirth." "[woman 2] I'm the last person to do something like this." "But Rebirth opened me up to men, to sensuality." "To experimentation." "[woman 3] My first Rebirth, I didn't go with anyone." "I was all by myself." "And so I was really nervous and kind of shy and in my shell." "And by the end, I just felt so much more confident in myself." "And I had had some of the most intense sensual experiences of my life." "Hey." "Hey." "Hey." "You coming to bed?" "Yeah, in a minute." "What are you doing?" "Oh." "Uh..." "Just looking through this old stuff." "Hey, guess who came to work today out of nowhere." "Zack." "Zack who?" "You know, Zack." "From college." "[chuckles] Oh." "That guy?" "Was he a student there?" "Yeah." "What do you mean?" "Huh." "He was wild." "Yeah, I guess." "So, what'd he want?" "Nothing, I mean, you know, he just wanted to say, "What's up?" "Hi."" "Okay." "Hey, hon?" "Hey." "You know how you're always taking these girls' weekends?" "[sighs]" "Uh..." "Excuse me." "Do you know where everybody went?" "Sorry." "Sorry." "Hey, honey, it's me." "Listen, I think you were right." "This thing is kind of dumb." "So, I was thinking maybe I could take Jill and..." "Uh..." "Hold" " I'm sorry, babe." "Let me call you right back, okay?" "I'll call you right back." "Love you, bye." "[sighs]" "Hello?" "Hello?" "Anybody in here?" "[line rings]" "[woman] 911." "What is your emergency?" "No." "No, thank you."

"Sir, may I get on the bus?" "I'm getting on the bus." "[chuckles]" "Hey." "Ahem." "Oh." "Uh" "And what's that for?" "What's that...?" "All right." "Are we good?" "Uh..." "Mind if I squeeze in?" "Do you know Zack?" "Zack West." "Zachary West?" "My friend?" "He's..." "All right." "Hey." "How's it going?" "Excuse me." "Sorry." "So, hey, uh, do you mind if I sit there?" "It's the only seat." "Is that your bag?" "I'll just..." "I'll just hold onto it, all right?" "I'll just hold onto it." "Thank you." "Well, this is super-creepy." "Why are the windows covered?"

"I'm sorry." "That's okay, man." "[grunting]" "Oh, what happened?" "Someone hit you?" "The fuck?" "!" "Or it's just an exercise." "So, what do you do when someone hits you?" "You just take it like that?" "Fuck, man, you can't just fucking hit people!" "Why not?" "Anyone else think their ego trumps the death of the universe?" "You can leave any time." "What about you, Spielberg?" "You getting enough for your spank reel?" "Let me out now!" "What the fuck is your problem, man?" "Everything was just fine till you showed up." "Wasn't it, gang?"

"I'm not gonna hit you, man." "What?" "[chuckles] Why would I want you to hit me?" "Is that how you get hard?" "You make Daddy spank you?" "Oh, no, what's going on?" "No one there?" "God." "Maybe they want you here for a reason." "Why don't you sit the fuck down next to Air and she can tell you more about what angel dicks taste like." "Really nice, guys."

"You're the one that Ray picked on in his speech, right?" "Hey, don't feel bad about that." "He always tries to throw you off-balance your first time." "It's sort of an honor." "Just show me how to get out of here." "Cool, cool." "Yeah, right this way." "Can I just say something, Kyle?" "Kyle, if I may." "Breathe." "I am." "No, no, really take a second." "You know, calm your body and just breathe." "Breathe?" "You want me to breathe?" "A guy fucking punched me, threw a chair, broke into my phone." "Wow." "Okay, was he trying to make a point or--?" "I don't care." "I know where you're coming from, man." "Yeah, Rebirth, it's intense." "Fuck." "I washed out my first three tries." "And it took me four years before I came back." "Lost everything in those four years." "My job, my credit, my house." "My two girls wouldn't even talk to me because I couldn't face the things that Rebirth was trying to get me to confront." "I don't care." "Can I just say?" "The whole point of Rebirth, basically, is to find what you need, not what you want." "And sometimes, what you need, Kyle, not super-pleasant." "I don't need any of this." "Fair enough, but you know if you walk into a room and it's too heavy for you, you just leave." "That's what you're supposed to do." "See, everybody needs something different, so every room is different, but you gotta keep opening those doors." "He broke into my phone." "And it stays in the room." "Everything stays in the room." "Just show me where the exit is." "I think I know where you were." "Yeah." "Can I just say, it's not gonna get worse than that?" "Unless you want it to." "Can I say that?" "Is the shuttle out there?" "You're already here, man." "It's more interesting than, what, a night of TV?" "And don't forget about Zack." "You know Zack?" "Of course I know Zack." "I love Zack." "So, Zack is here?" "Uh... [groans]" "I don't think I can actually say that." "You don't?" "It's easy." "He's either here or he's not." "Yes or no." "No, but not no as in he's not here." "No as in..." "I can't break the spoiler rule, man." "Fuck." "Okay, look." "Look, look, look." "Wait, wait, wait." "You're not supposed to find him yet." "And if he were here, theoretically... you will." "Maybe." "[groans]" "I wish I could say more." "I have no idea what you're talking about." "Okay." "Off the record." "There are no leaders here, man." "Zack is doing his Rebirth just like everybody else." "Just like everybody else." "And when you're supposed to find him..." "I'm gonna take you to a room you're gonna love, okay?" "Spoiler curtain down." "You are gonna love it." "Man to man, no cameras, no bullshit." "You're gonna love this room." "Hey, guys." "This is Kyle." "He's a good friend of Zack's." "[woman] Hi, Kyle." "I love Zack." "[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 fucked 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 fucking joke." "I think you're all a bunch of arrogant assholes 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 fucking 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 fuck 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 fucking 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 fucked 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 fucking hear me?" "Hello?" "What the fuck?" "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 shit!" "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." "Fuck." "Okay." "All right, all right, hold still." "Oh, I can feel your belly." "What the fuck happened to your pants, man?" "Ha-ha-ha!" "What the hell are you laughing at?" "God." "What the fuck did they do--?" "Oh, fuck." "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." "Come on, come on." "Jesus Christ." "What are these, man?" "Are these branding marks?" "Those are my Rebirths, man." "Come on, come on, come on." "Jesse's trying" "Is helping break my attachments to the domination game." "To, like, the status thing." "You know what I'm saying?" "You're gonna put these pants on." "No, no, no." "Put the pants on." "Put them on." "You were just screaming for help." "Why not?" "[laughing]" "No, no, no." "Oh, my God." "Oh, no, no." "No." "No, no, no." "No, no, no." "[woman] Stop hurting him!" "Stop hurting him." "Zack, are you okay?" "Where's Jesse?" "Is Jesse out there?" "Naomi, just" " Could you get Jesse?" "Could you get Jesse?" "Who the fuck is Jesse?" "[Naomi] Jesse's coming, honey." "Hang in there." "Okay, thank you, Naomi." "All right, I hope you know that I have called the police, and they are on their way." "[Naomi] No, you didn't." "Yes, I did." "Fuck." "Hey, Kyle, Kyle, I..." "Oh, fuck." "[Zack squeals]" "Stop it." "Stop, stop, stop." "What's wrong with you?" "It's okay." "No, no, no." "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay." "It's my supplements." "Are they drugging you?" "No, no." "Not drugs." "They're supplements." "My God." "You're not gonna hurt Jesse, are you?" "You're not gonna hurt Jesse." "You're drugging him?" "How long have you been with these people?" "Uh..." "Huh?" "That I don't" " Because we jump around a lot, you know what I mean?" "Because Je" " Have you met Jesse?" "Who the fuck is Jesse?" "[Naomi] Jesse's almost here." "It's okay, it's okay." "Because this is my friend." "This is my best friend, Naomi." "Oh, God." "Wait, wait." "You're not" " Hold on." "I hope the money" "Is the money--?" "Are you mad about--?" "What do you mean?" "What money?" "[slamming on door]" "What money?" "Jesse says that money is just a construct, too." "So, it's fine, it's fine." "No, no, no." "They didn't make you give them your money." "No, no, no, not my money." "Your money. [chuckles]" "What do you mean, my money?" "What are you talking about?" "What does he mean, my money?" "[Naomi] You shouldn't be talking to him right now, asshole." "What do you mean, my money?" "What have you done?" "What did you freaks do to my money?" "You're doing it!" "What did you do?" "What have you done to me?" "What did I--?" "What...?" "[man whistles] [man] Zachariah, are you there?" "Jesse!" "Okay, why are--?" "Come on." "Jesse." "Aah!" "[grunting]" "I come in peace." "Aah!" "No, Kyle, no!" "No!" "Zachariah, stop it." "Your friend can't help it." "He's not a Birthling." "What did we talk about?" "Your friend is not a Birthling." "You can't be expecting him to have the insight" "Sir, I believe in a peaceful revolution through massage and the" "Stop it!" "Stop with your brainwashing bullshit." "I'm not listening." "I can't hear you." "What the fuck is this, huh?" "Cupcakes?" "What the fuck is going on?" "!" "Aah!" "[Zack] Jesse!" "Jesse!" "No, no, no." "No, we've seen your friend." "Now we're leaving." "No, no, no." "Let him help you." "Tell me what your body's feeling." "Tell me what your body's feeling." "Please, please." "Every cell in your body has been trained by millions of years of evolution to fight, to survive." "What you're feeling now is real life." "Don't you feel it?" "[Jesse] You're just not used to such a pure dose." "Your mind's reacting." "Shut up." "My friend was shitting in a bucket, screaming for help!" "[Zack] No, no, you're hurting Jesse." "[Naomi] Knock it down, knock it down." "That was real." "Do it again." "[banging on door]" "No, no, hit me again, please." "Do it again." "Stop it." "No, hit me." "Shut up." "Hit me again." "[Naomi] Just knock it down!" "Stay out!" "Stay out!" "Knock it down!" "Hit me again." "They're coming!" "Back off, I'll do it." "I'll fucking do it." "Come on, Zack, let's go." "It's okay, it's okay, Kyle, okay?" "We still love you." "[Jesse] Zack?" "Kyle's the master now." "Do what he says." "[Zack] Okay." "This is it." "Can you feel it?" "[laughs] Yes, I can feel it." "Shut up!" "Back off." "Zack, let's go, move." "All right, everybody back off, or I will kill him!" "Do it, man." "Do it." "Shut up, man!" "Go, go." "Get back, get back." "Okay, okay, no one's gonna get hurt." "Kill me now, master." "I'm ready to ascend." "That's enough, Jesse." "Stop it." "[laughing]" "I think we got a situation here." "You need to kill that footage now." "Go." "[Kyle] Where do we go?" "Do we go down?" "Where the fuck do we go?" "Zack!" "[Naomi] We got a breach!" "Breach!" "[Naomi] Okay, Zack, I need to know what you've told him." "Don't talk to her, Zack, all right?" "He didn't tell me nothing, okay?" "We just wanna get on that shuttle and go home." "Where the fuck is the exit?" "!" "Sir, sir, you know this is not real, right?" "Shut up, shut up." "Okay, all right, what's your name?" "What's his name?" "Kyle-something." "This guy is having a psychotic episode." "Yeah, no shit." "Can we get a doctor over here, please?" "Yeah." "[Kyle] How do you get out of here?" "Hey, honey, the exit is this way, where it's always been." "Found a doctor." "Okay, sir, can we just stop moving for a second?" "[Naomi] Okay, everyone." "Just stay calm." "[doctor] Sir, what's your name?" "What's his name?" "Kyle." "It's Kyle." "[doctor] Okay, Karl." "I'm a psychiatrist at First Memorial." "I'm here for the seminar, like you." "You just tell him to stop whatever the fuck he's trying to do." "Just let us go, all right?" "No-- No problem." "Some people's brains have a hard time adjusting to Rebirth." "So, just breathe." "They're trying to lock you back in their cage, master." "Don't listen to them." "[Naomi] Shut up, Jesse." "[man 1] I think he went to the Wish Room." "Yes, he did." "I took him there." "[man 1] Jesus Christ." "That's it." "That's the door." "That's the door." "Are you sure?" "Stand back, stand back." "[man 2] Stay." "Easy." "Open the door, Zack." "Get over here and open the fucking door." "It's locked." "[doctor] Listen." "If you go back into the real world without decompressing, you're gonna have a serious brain damage- [Kyle] Shut up!" "It's not a door." "It's a wall." "It's a window, open it." "Shut up!" "Everyone shut up and just let me think!" "[panting]" "[Kyle grunting] [panting]" "No." "Hey, Karl, Karl, don't do it, man." "Karl, don't do it, man." "Don't do something you're gonna regret." "[man] Come back home." "It's a stupid thing to do." "It's a stupid thing to do." "Karl, don't do it" "Shut up!" "Nobody fucking move." "Zack." "Let's go." "Zack, let's go." "All right, move." "[Kyle] Hello?" "Hello?" "!" "Hello?" "!" "Oh, my God." "I'm so fucking hard right now." "God, fuck." "[gasping]" "[Kyle panting] [gasping]" "Zack!" "[all chanting] Rebirth!" "Rebirth!" "Rebirth!" "Aah!" "Zack!" "Zack!" "[yelling]" "[all cheering] [yelling]" "[gasps] [speaking indistinctly]" "It's okay, really." "What's going on?" "That's not funny." "What the fuck is going on?" "Told you, man." "Zack!" "Welcome home, brother. [laughing] [all chanting] Kyle!" "Kyle!" "Kyle!" "No, no, no!" "Zack!" "Zack!" "Zack!" "Zack!" "Zack!" "Zack!" "Zack!" "Zack!" "[all cheering]" "Zack?" "Zack?" "Zack?" "Yeah!" "[all] Yeah!" "Whoo!" "[all] Whoo!" "Oh, shit, man. [laughing]" "Hey, everybody." "Let's show my boy Kyle some Rebirth love." "[all cheering]" "What--?" "What do you think, man?" "What do you think?" "You think they like you?" "[chuckles] [all laugh]" "Hey, what some of you may not know" "What some of you may not know is that this man is like a brother to me." "And what you may also not know, is that this guy right here, is one of the main inspirations for all of this." "Huh?" "[whooping and cheering]" "Whoo!" "[all] Yeah!" "That's the man." "That's it." "Huh?" "[man 1] Yeah!" "[man 2] Yeah!" "And you know what else?" "I think this motherfucker just made Phase 2 in record time." "[all laugh]" "Right here, Phase Two." "What the fuck?" "What the fuck?" "Yeah." "[man 1] Yeah." "[man 2] Right?" "What the fuck are you doing?" "What's that, brother?" "What?" "Okay." "Hey, hey, hey." "It's okay, man." "You just Rebirthed, you know?" "You just Rebirthed." "That's a rush." "It's a rush." "It's just adrenaline." "It's just adrenaline." "Here, tell the camera." "Tell the camera." "Tell the camera." "Tell the camera." "Tell the camera." "No, no." "Tell the camera." "Tell the camera." "No, no, no." "Hey, hey, hey." "Don't fucking touch me." "Don't fucking touch me!" "Don't fucking touch me!" "Ease off." "Hey, hey, hey." "Kyle, this is the best part." "Hey, man." "It's over." "It's over, man." "Don't touch me." "[man] Kyle." "Kyle." "Don't touch me." "This is the best part." "Hey, let's get Kyle back, everybody." "Kyle!" "Kyle!" "[all] Kyle!" "Kyle!" "[all chanting] Kyle!" "Kyle!" "Kyle!" "[birds chirping]" "Hey, man." "Kyle." "Kyle, hey." "Kyle, come on, give me a chance" "Let me expl" " It's over, man." "Let me go." "Let me go." "Let me go." "Okay, all right, okay, no problem." "Take me to my car or I call the police." "[Zack] Kyle." "Nothing was ever gonna happen." "Nobody was gonna get" "Jesse's a stuntman." "He's, like, a black belt." "I did this..." "I thought..." "I thought you would dig it." "I..." "I'm so sorry." "I don't wanna talk to this guy." "Can you shut the door?" "Can you shut the door?" "Are you coming on, sir?" "No, he's not." "He's not." "Mary?" "[line ringing]" "[sighs]" "Uh..." "I'm done." "I'm done." "It's over." "Hey, where are you guys now?" "[Mary] We're coming back from swim practice." "We're almost home." "Right." "Uh..." "Right." "Okay." "Okay, bye." "[sighs] [cell phone dings]" "No." "No." "No." "[line ringing]" "Fuck." "[man] Hello and welcome to the National First Fraud Protection System." "This call may be recorded for quality assurance."

"Jesus, what the fuck do you think you're doing?" "[grunts] Man, you know, after one of these weekends, it feels, like, a tour in Kabul, man." "I need me, like, a nice hot soak." "My wife is coming home." "This is my house!" "I know." "It's nice, man." "Really digging the Jacuzzi." "No towel?" "[whistles]" "Hey, guy, you need any help with that?" "What have you done?" "Why are you doing this?" "Because you're not finished." "Fuck you." "This, this is over." "Come on." "There's an after party at Jesse's." "Oh, my God." "Oh, my God!" "Oh, my God is right." "I mean, those sheets are amazing." "What's the thread count on those?" "Mary is gonna be home." "Any second." "What else did you do?" "I didn't do anything." "I've been in the bath the whole time." "Hey, man, do you mind if I put some tunes on?" "I already guessed the Wi-Fi password was "Mumford." Heh." "[groans]" "Check it out, dude, you made the cover." "Oh, fuck." "Stop." "Just stop." "Stop it." "Stop!" "Why are you trying to destroy my life?" "I'm not trying to destroy your life, man." "I'm trying to save your life." "I'm here to help you." "I don't want your help!" "Oh, fuck!" "What do you people want from me?" "We want you to stop living your life like a spectator, okay?" "[sobs]" "That's it?" "You all done?" "All out of fight?" "What the fuck happened to you, man?" "Fuck the man." "Keep it real." "Don't be boring." "What?" "What are you talking about?" "I'm talking about you!" "I'm talking about your dogma, dude." "The Manifesto?" "Your words?" "Do they mean anything to you anymore?" "Oh, my God." "You mean, do I believe in a thing we wrote as a joke when we were 20 years old on shrooms?" "[chuckles]" "Yeah." "It wasn't a joke." "And you know it." "Stop." "Stop it, all right?" "Just stop." "Just tell me what you want before Mary comes home." "I wanna help." "You're destroying my life!" "You're destroying your life!" "You're destroying it!" "You sit all day at a job you fucking hate." "You bilk young kids out of money, so they're so immersed in debt that they're enslaved to the system for the rest of their fucking lives." "You can't get a boner, dude." "And you know what the worst part is?" "You're really boring." "You're a child." "I'm not 20 anymore." "Thank you." "I know." "I am a child." "So, that way, I can see the world for what it really is, unlike the way the zombies have conditioned you to see it." "The zombies?" "I'm an adult." "I have a family." "It's a fucking job!" "Right, and I bet the only way to keep your child from starving is lying for a bank!" "You have this juvenile obsession with what?" "Am I the guy who created this system you hate--?" "I don't give a fuck about the system, okay?" "I care about you." "Oh, my God, yes." "Yeah." "I can tell." "Not this you, okay?" "Not this you." "The you you used to be." "Before the fucking lobotomy." "I like my life." "Oh, do you like your life?" "I like my life." "You should fucking love your life, Kyle." "You should've seen your eyes." "You should've seen your eyes when I described this weekend to you." "It was like I was offering you, like, a drop of water and you were just dying of thirst." "No." "I didn't know what it was." "It was called Rebirth!" "What'd you think that meant, huh?" "It means being born again." "It means a new life." "And that also, Kyle, means killing the old one, you understand?" "This is also why we had to drain your savings account." "No, no, no." "That was not real." "That was a fake site." "Mm." "It was real." "It's all real." "[car horn honking]" "Oh, my God." "Oh, my God." "Just relax." "Relax." "Relax." "Oh, my God." "Nothing is gonna happen, Kyle, okay?" "I'm gonna set you free." "All right, what do you want?" "How do I make this stop, all right?" "What do you want from me?" "What do I want from you?" "What do you want from you?" "I want the same thing." "I want you to reach enlightenment." "Yes." "Okay, I'll do anything you want." "Just don't do this to my family." "Okay, in order for it to stop" "Right?" "You have to tell me that you felt something at Rebirth." "Yes, yes, yes, I felt something." "Okay, good." "What'd you feel?" "Uh..." "I don't know." "I don't know." "What do you want me to say?" "No, no, it has to be in your own words." "Oh, fuck." "Just tell me what you wanna hear." "Okay, close your eyes." "Just close your eyes and tell me the truth, brother." "[panting]" "I felt scared, all right?" "Good, good, good." "I felt like I was gonna die." "Great." "I feel like I've been through a fucking war." "Yes. [laughs] [smooches]" "That's all I wanted to hear." "That's it. [laughs]" "That's it?" "That's it?" "That's it?" "Yeah, man." "You've seen the other side." "Yeah." "Yeah." "You can go back to your desk and tweet, twat, whatever the fuck you've been doing for the rest of your life." "But nobody, nobody's gonna take the moment away from you when you held a knife to a cult leader's throat and busted your way out of a sex dungeon." "[both laughing]" "Huh?" "Right." "Right." "Yeah?" "Yeah." "And the sex dungeon part." "That's over, too, right?" "It's over." "I promise." "[Mary] Hello." "Hey, we're in here." "I promise, man." "Okay?" "You just gotta make a little donation." "[gasps]" "Zack." "Oh, my God." "Hey." "[Zack] Oh, man." "Is this crazy or what?" "Oh, boy." "[Mary] So crazy." "Wow." "Look at you." "Oh, man, you look amazing." "Thank you." "Ha-ha." "You guys look sweaty." "Oh, yeah." "We're guys." "How long's it been?" "I don't know." "I mean, long enough for you two lovebirds to have a little one, right?" "Right." "Oh, yeah." "Yeah." "Hey, Jill, come meet Mom and Dad's friend." "No, no, no, wait." "No, no, no." "It's okay." "It's okay." "Zack was just about to leave." "Whoa." "No, no, no, I'm dying to meet her." "Yay." "Let me get her." "Great." "Wow, she's looking good, man." "What do you mean, a donation?" "You know, a meaningful donation." "I mean, we are a non-profit." "Like money?" "Yeah, money's good." "How much money?" "Some money from your bank would be nice." "I don't have access to my bank's money." "Oh, sure you do." "I write tweets to idiots who follow a bank on Twitter." "I don't have acc" "All you gotta do is log on to your bank's server from your computer, okay?" "The algorithm will do the rest." "What algorithm?" "Don't worry about it." "Her Highness is on her way down." "[chuckles]" "Hey, so, I watched some of the videos from Rebirth." "What?" "Just the ones that you e-mailed me." "What?" "E-mailed?" "Yeah, with the testimonials or whatever." "It actually looked kind of intriguing." "You're not supposed to do that." "Oh, no." "No, no, it's okay." "Hey, hey, look, as long as we're breaking the rules here," "I have some video of your boy." "Oh!" "No, no, no." "Wait, I wanna see it." "It's" " It's embarrassing, really." "Right, and you can't share the weekend with outsiders." "Oh, wow." "It already sounds like a cult." "No, it's not a cult." "[both laugh]" "I hear Kyle says that you guys go to a church." "[Mary] Yeah, we do." "Yeah?" "Oh, I mean, you guys should like-- I mean, you should come." "You know, they like people from, like, all different kinds" "of, you know, spiritual paths." "She's not interested." "Actually, I don't know." "If you guys both really liked it," "I'd be open-minded about it." "She's not interested." "She's not gonna do it, okay?" "Just leave us alone." "Kyle." "I think it's time you should leave." "Are you sure?" "[Jill] Hey." "[Kyle] Hey." "Hey." "Hey, sweetie!" "Jill, this is Zack." "Hi, Jill, it's so nice to meet you." "You are as beautiful as your mother. [laughs]" "Hey." "Does anybody want any Kool-Aid?" "There's still plenty left over from the seminar." "Huh?" "Sure, that'd be good." "Yeah." "I know when I was a kid, I loved Kool-Aid." "Kids still like Kool-Aid, don't they, Jill?" "Okay." "Yummy." "Hey, she's not thirsty." "Kyle, what are you doing?" "What are you doing?" "I'll do it, okay?" "I'll do it." "Okay." "[Mary] Kyle, what's going on here?" "No, this is..." "This is over, all right?" "All right, I'll do it." "Um..." "I think Kyle had kind of an intense day, and I think he just needs a little decompression time." "Oh." "Uh..." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry if I was" "No, it's okay." "It's okay." "It's all right." "It's all right." "It's not a big deal, okay?" "Just stop talking." "All right." "Well, how about us guys take a little retreat to the man cave?" "If that's okay with you young ladies?" "Sure, yeah." "Yeah?" "Okay." "Well, fantastic, let's do it, bud." "[Kyle] It's all right." "[Jill] Bye." "So nice to meet you." "[Kyle exhales]" "[Zack] Hey." "So, Naomi's gonna shoot a little testimonial video, if that's okay with you." "So, I wanna be clear." "I'm not going to get in trouble, right?" "Of course not." "You're my friend." "Are you sure?" "We will never take enough to get detected, okay?" "I promise." "This is a good thing, Kyle." "You have an insane amount of potential." "You're gonna be an integral part of this community." "You're gonna run our new Media and Communications Department." "You're gonna help us reach a whole new group of people." "Help us make this something really big." "Help me, Kyle." "Help us." "Help yourself. [chuckles]" "Have some fun for once in your life." "I mean, the worst case scenario is you make a ton of money." "Dude, I guarantee you, in five years, you're gonna think this is the greatest thing that ever happened to you." "And... if you don't you can leave any time you want." "[Kyle] You know, before I found Rebirth, I was lost." "I really was." "And the worst thing was I didn't know I was lost." "I was bottled up, and it would come out in the dumbest ways." "Just basic stuff, like getting impatient with my wife, or spending all day long looking at my phone, and then getting mad in traffic." "[Mary] Kyle was a great husband, a great father, a great provider." "Um, but he just" " He wasn't happy." "And it affected all of us." "I was living this default life that everyone around me assumed was the best life possible." "But it just wasn't making me happy." "And then I found Rebirth." "Hi, my name is Kyle Madison, and I wanna tell you my Rebirth story." "Oh, yeah." "I remember Kyle's first time at Rebirth." "He was like..." "You know, he was like, "What the hell did I just get myself involved in?"" "[Jesse] It was almost like watching a game show where you already know that the contestant's won a million dollars, but they don't know yet." "Kyle." "His first time, you know, he was so sweet." "He was so open and fragile." "I just wanted to give him a massive Rebirth hug and be his mommy." "Everyone who was there was like, "Yup, scared that one off." [laughing]" "I mean, I honestly never thought I was gonna see this guy ever again." "[sighs]" "Hi, my name's Kyle Madison, and I just finished my first Rebirth." "Is that all right?" "[man] The next weekend, he comes back." "So, I'm like, "Okay."" "Weekend after that, we were in Cincinnati and Kyle flies in." "And, you know, that was it, that's when I knew that this guy was totally hooked." "I mean, his Z.W. potentials just exploded." "Kyle had been on my team for, like, five years, I think." "But he was one of those guys who's always in the back." "A nice guy, but never really initiated, you know?" "Uh, but then, one Monday morning, he came in, and it was like bam!" "You know?" "[laughs]" "Who is this guy?" "Suddenly, I had Mark Zuckerberg working for me, you know?" "Kyle's the man." "The man's a god." "It just brings clarity." "That's all." "There's the world before Rebirth and the world after." "Everything unimportant just falls away." "You look at the world and you just see reality." "Just like that." "He's killing everyone with his perspectives." "Just murdering them." "And finally, I was like, "Hey, what's the secret?" You know?" "And he looks at me, and he says, "What are you doing this weekend?"" "Give it up for Chad!" "[all cheering] [laughing]" "Right?" "I knew he'd love it." "Pretty soon, the whole team loved it." "Then the whole company loved it." "[chuckles]" "We're basically the Rebirth branch of Wall Street now." "What Rebirth did for me was..." "It didn't just show me how to escape the cage I'd built around myself it actually showed me that the cage existed in the first place." "[Kyle] The first time my wife did her own Rebirth," "I was a little nervous, I'll admit." "[chuckles] But that's because I was clutching on to these zombie ideas of control, mastery and conditioned attachments." "And what you learn is your marriage only hits the stratosphere when you're both free to fly." "What people don't realize is Rebirth is not just something you do one weekend a month." "It's a lifestyle." "Right, Jill?" "We want our friends to do it." "We want our parents to do it." "Our nanny, our neighbors." "We definitely want our pastor to do it." "[Mary] I want my brother to do it." "I want my mailman to do it." "[Kyle] Ha-ha-ha." "I couldn't wait to get our kids to do it." "Sometimes you're there to help a couple fetuses burst out of the womb and find the warrior within." "Sometimes, you think you're there to deliver the fetus, only to find out you're the fetus and they're there for you." "It's like every time you go to Rebirth, you're a different person." "So every Rebirth's different." "You never know what you're gonna find behind a new open door." "It's not just the workshops." "It's not just the Phase Two Life Activation Experience." "It's also the products." "[Mary] We don't even use the word "sell" in Rebirth." "Because once you realize how much better Rebirth's products are than what you get in the store, it just" " It sells itself." "[Kyle] It's healthy." "It's natural." "It's good." "None of this processed crap." "[Mary] Jill is at an age where she's so picky about what she eats and she loves the stuff." "I don't know what they put in it." "Tell them your first Rebirth, babe." "Oh, yeah." "[Kyle] Heh." "You weren't breathing properly." "You can breathe with your nose, you can breathe with your mouth." "But there are other ways to breathe." "Everybody knows there are no leaders at Rebirth, because only you can change your life." "But... [chuckling]" "But we all know who that spark was." "[crowd cheering]" "Zack 110 percent changed Kyle's life." "And mine too." "In the old days, people were afraid something horrible would happen to them." "Now they're afraid nothing will happen to them." "If Zack hadn't come into my life when he did..." "I really don't like to think about it." "I really don't." "[Mary] Zack is just one of those magical beings who can walk up to a stranger, look her in the eye and just immediately knows her deepest, most intimate needs." "Zack was like a brother to me and now that we share Rebirth, he's like a big brother. [chuckles]" "He's the big brother to us all." "Yeah." "[cheering]" "You know, when I started Rebirth in my garage, you know, building it out one weekend at a time to the global force for good that it is today that was the easy part." "You know?" "Why I get out of bed every morning is knowing that there's other Kyles out there." "You know what I mean?" "You see him at the grocery store." "See him at the gas station." "The drugstore." "[grunting]" "Right?" "See him on the highway. [whistles]" "Going to work." "Going home." "Going to work." "Going home, you know?" "Doing the Z.B. Zombie Boogie." "But if you look him them the eye, man, you'll see that they're dying, dying for something better." "They know it's out there." "They just don't know what it is, you know?" "So, let's bring him up here." "Kyle Madison, everybody." "Come on, man." "[Zack] Sometimes, uh, I feel like a hunter. [chuckles] [laughing]" "I got my gun, I got my bush hat on, and I'm stalking through the suburban savannah, searching for my prey and it's my job never to sleep, okay?" "It's my job never to take a break, never to stop, man, until I share this with each and every Kyle." "It's an obligation." "It's a duty." "Whew. [chuckles]" "Oh, man." "That's what gets me going." "Hmm." "Mm-hm." "Yeah." "That's what Rebirth means to me." "[crowd cheering and whistling]" "[all chanting] Rebirth!" "Rebirth!" "Rebirth!"
