"It's some of the real stuff." " God, you're so boring." " What do you mean, "real stuff"?" "It's for the losers!" "Ruth?" "Okay." "We'll miss- We'll miss the Rajasthani buffet!" "Ruth!" "Ruth!" "Ruth, wait!" "Is she out of money?" "No." "It's quite simple." "I've decided that I have to tell you the truth- for the sake of Ruth's and our old friendship." "Oh, what's that taken on?" " It's very exotic." " It's on my Olympus." "Oh, that's interesting." "Mine's a Minolta." "Is yours an auto-flash job?" "What am I looking at here?" "Prue?" "Wh-Who are these people in the photo?" "Ruth." "That's Ruth." "Oh, my God, I didn't realize." " Gilbert, it's Ruth." " Oh, yeah, I can see that now." "She's wearing the national costume." "I would never have recognized her." "I know." "Is something wrong?" "Well, tell me." "I want to know." "We were just like everyone else traveling in India." "We wanted to visit a live guru." "We weren't serious about it." "She thought it would be a good laugh." "But oh, it was so scary." "Some sort of freaky hypnotism happened." "I think they were on drugs." " She even burnt her airline ticket in front of me." "That's when I asked her" ""Is it true, what they said, that Baba might marry you?"" "No, thank you, mate." "No, thank you." "No, mate." "Thank you." "That's fine." "Thank you." "No, no." "Say, Ruth- Say no!" "Say no, Ruth!" "Stop it!" "Ruthy, stop him!" "No!" "Ruthy!" "Stop!" "Ruth, don't!" "Say no!" "Ruthy!" "Ruthy!" "Somebody help!" "This is serious." "Tim, please." "It's serious." "Come on." "Come on, both of you." "We were waiting for you." "Okay, seriously." "What's happening?" " Who's he?" " He's the top man on the subject." " He's been very, very helpful." " Hi, Tim." "Isn't it terrible?" "But don't worry." "Miriam's going to get her back." "She's going to India, aren't you?" " Are you?" " Well, I will if I need to." " I'm determined to fight." " G'day, Tim." "Stop Robbie from drinking too much, Tim." " Yeah, that's right, Mum, we'll fight." " Don't." "Don't." "Don't come here and mock." "I'm close to the edge, Tim." "Sophie, sterilized at 23... to focus on her spiritual growth, wanted a reversal at 34." "It can't be done." " So how do we get her back?" " Lure." "You lure her." "Couldn't we just contact the embassy..." " and get her sent home?" " No, you can't." "If she were under 18- which she isn't-yes, certainly... we could bring her back under the international convention." "But you've got nothing on your sister other than declaring her... mentally incompetent, and that's almost impossible to do." "What we often do is steal." "You see, these cults use coercive and deceptive methods." "Steal them, turn the deception around." "They make up their little stories, we make up ours, but we get her back." "The next step is the difficult one." "You'll have captured your daughter's body, but not her mind." "So what do we do, Stan?" "We hire the man I believe to be... the number-one exit counsellor in America." "For legal reasons, it's best if he's in again, out again" " Untraceable." " Is there any way..." " it could be dangerous?" " Yeah, it's delicate." "The mind's a damn mystery." "Why do people believe in God?" "Why do people believe they're in love?" "Why do I tell myself every day," ""You're fat, mate." "Today I'm not gonna eat cake, butter or bread,"" "and by lunch time I've done the lot?" "So what did Mr. Hot Dog American cost?" " Ten thousand dollars Australian, plus expenses." " Shit!" "And what's wrong with number two?" "How much did he cost?" "Forget it, Gilly." "We're doing it." "She's our golden girl." "My plane's leaving in three hours, everybody." " Delhi's hot- 95 to 105 degrees." " Oh, God!" "What if she doesn't come back?" "When she knows you're dying, she'll come." "Sure." "What's bitten his little bum?" "He doesn't like pretending to die." "Do you speak English?" "Do you know where that is?" "That restaurant?" "Shiva's Restaurant?" "It's a fair way, I suppose, is it?" "Oh, goodness." "It's busy, isn't it?" " Hello." "Give me money, please?" " No." " Give me a rupee, please?" "Give me a rupee, please?" " No." "I'm sorry." "I'm from Australia." "I haven't got any, uh, any Indian money." "You're sure... this is it?" "Mum!" "Oh!" "Where's your sari?" "I was looking for a sari." "Oh, you're so hot." " Who's that?" " That's the restaurant's fake holy man." "This is my friend Rahi." " Who?" " Rahi." "It's my Sanyasin name." "Hello, Miriam." " Hello." " Let me get you a cold drink." "Have you ever tried a lassi?" " A who?" " A lassi." "It's a yogurt drink." " Is it from a bottle?" " Mum, it's clean here." "Oh, yes, I see there are only a few dozen flies." "Is there a toilet or a hole here?" "It's a hole." "Ugh!" ""All your father and I want-"" "Oh, Lord." "Calmie, calm." "Calmie, calm." "Ventolin." "Yeah." "Ugh!" "Mum, I've got no idea what Prue told you." "She just got really scared." "Something amazing has happened to me." "It's so powerful and so gentle." "It's... hard for me to describe." "You've got to experience Baba, Mum." "When he looks at you- just looks at you- all your pretensions and fears just vanish." "And suddenly it's so- it's so obvious... how to live your life- that it's really possible to be happy and truthful, and do good." "How would you feel if I were to become enlightened?" "Come and meet him this evening, Miriam." "It's a beautiful opportunity." "Baba's going to be taking questions." "Just come and see." "He is so full of love." "Your father and I are pleased you've found fulfillment." "Are you?" " How is dad?" " Like I wrote to you, he's very ill." "He had a stroke at Bill and Puss's farm, and won't be moved." "Is he gonna die?" "Yes, he could." "He wants to see you." "He's paid for your ticket home." "See, I cry." "I couldn't cry before." "I didn't know you didn't cry." "No." "Oh, poor daddy." "Maybe next time." " What do you mean, "next time"?" " Oh, you know, next time- in another life." " Oh, never mind." " He's dying, Ruth!" " Is he scared?" " Well, of course he is!" "He wants to see you." "We've got a ticket for you." " Um, it's really the timing, isn't it, Nazni?" " Who is Nazni?" "Oh, it's Ruth." "That's her apprentice name." "Ruth, can you speak for you?" "Would you mind calling me Nazni?" "It's my name now." "Look, they only initiate new Sanyasins once a year," " Fine." "Fine." " and it just happens to be next week." "You're doing just as you should." "You are pleasing yourself, which is exactly what we brought you up to do." "No, you just please yourself." "Don't let our deaths inconvenience you." "You've got great hair." "Oh, goodness." "That's really kind of you." "No, it's fantastic." " She's a bit nervous." " Of course." "How's the hair?" "Any scent?" " Oh, it's good." " Great." "The kitchen may be open... for supper after the evening program." " No." " Oh, please." "I'm sorry." "No." "I can't be sniffed." "I" " I feel sick, Ruth." "I want to go back." " Don't be silly, Mum." "Just walk through." " No, I can't." " I feel like an animal." " Yes, you can." "You'll be fine." " No!" "No!" "Don't touch me!" " You'll be fine." " Mum" " No!" " Mum, don't be silly." " Excuse me." " Mum, stop it." "You're embarrassing me." " No!" "Mum!" "No." "No." "No." "Hello." "Give me money." "I can't breathe!" "My spray!" "No!" "No drink!" "No drink!" "Oh, thank God it's QANTAS." " We're fine." " It's fine." " Hello!" " Oh, my God!" "So why is Miriam so freaked out?" "Oh, she thinks I'm going to live in India, marry Baba... and commit group suicide." "She and dad hate Indians." "You know?" "Dark people?" "They're just the main points." "Well, are you going to marry him?" "I wish." " Oh, you wish?" " Oh, yeah." "He's absolute love." "Um" "There's, uh, just, uh, three problems." " He's not cute, Ruth." "Look at him!" " He's poofie!" "He's, like, old!" "It's about love." "It's not that literal." "Marriage is symbolic." "He's marrying everyone." "Sydney, Australia." "Case 190." "Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed" "Of being a king" "And then became one" "Well except for the names and a few other changes" "If you talk about me" "The story's the same one" "But I got an emptiness deep inside" "And I've tried but it won't let me go" "And I'm not a man who likes to swear" "But I've never cared for the sound" "Of being alone" "I am I said" "To no one there" "And no one heard at all" " Not even the chair" " Fabio here is an extra body if needs be, and Robbie will step in to help too." "Yeah, whatever's necessary." "Mr. Waters, my name's Yvonne with a "Y." I'm Robert's wife." "It's such a relief that you've arrived, because we've all been so worried." "Now, I'm here to be of assistance to you." "I'm on supplies." "Do you find it hard to get polite help in America?" " Polite?" " Oh, well, people with lovely manners." "Don't look at Robbie." "He hasn't got any." "Where's the guy with the exiting experience- uh, Colin- where is he?" "He's had a family misfortune." " His mother died." " Oh, God, Stan." "Was it expected?" "Excuse me." "This is not looking good, Stan." "I needed Colin." "I can't begin this work without a properly experienced assistant." "Those are the rules." "Well, that's where Robbie comes into it." "Stan, come here a moment." "Now, I'm a little aggravated... because I could have got my lady Carol to come out, and she is good." "Now instead you've given me two fruitcakes." "One's a ponytail, and the other's a clown." "Now, exiting is a precision exercise." "I'm taking a leap with this girl into the sky." "We put everything at risk and when we get to the bottom," "I need her parachute to open." "I need mine to open." "Now, which of these men would you trust to pack your chute?" " Uh, Fabio." "I think he'd do a neat job." " Yeah, he'd do a neat job- with his toilet bag." "If he hasn't packed a chute before, would you trust... him to figure it out?" "No, no, no, no." " Yvonne!" "Yvonne!" " What?" "Okay, cop you later." "That was Tim, my older brother." "He's a gay man." "They've arrived." "She's visited dad once, but she's restless." "So where do we go from here?" "I'll take a look at her when I arrive, then we'll start talking." "Mm-hmm." "She's not that easy to chat to, is she, Robbie?" "This isn't a chat." "This is a conversation that takes three days." "It's a very intuitive thing- very concentrated." " So, what is it that you do?" " Um, I work... a basic three-step system, where I steer the subject... toward a breakthrough  breakdown, whatever you prefer to call it." " Mm-hmm." "Step one, isolate her." "Get her attention and respect." " When she's listening well, I start to push her." " Mm-hmm." " The heat goes on." " The heat?" " It's very traumatic for the subject" " Mm-hmm." "which it's supposed to be." " You want some?" "It's hot." " No, thank you." "Step two, I remove all her props." "Her books, her sari, if she wears one." " Is she wearing one?" " Yeah." "Actually, she looks..." " quite feminine for a change, doesn't she, Robbie?" " Shh!" " What?" " Finally, the clouds of her unreason... burst upon the Earth, there's tears, sobs, hugs with the family, and it's over for me." "But... just beginning for you." "I've successfully exited 189 subjects, with a recidivist rate of three and a half percent." "There's no one in the U.S. or the U.K. who can match those statistics." "Huh." "I've failed to proceed in three cases when I judged the subject... too psychologically unstable." "Do you have a wife or a lady friend, Mr. Waters?" "Why do you ask?" "Well, I bet she wouldn't stand a chance." " What do you mean?" " You're very persuasive." "I imagine you could persuade any woman to do anything." "'Cause the love that you gave that we made" "Wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide" "No" "And every time you speak her name" "Does she know how you told me you'd hold me until you died" "Till you died Well you're still alive" "And I'm here" "To remind you" "Of the mess you left" "When you went away" "It's not fair" "To deny me" "Of the cross I bear that you gave to me" "You, you ought to know" "'Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able" "To make it enough for you to be open wide, no" "No" "And every time you speak her name" "Does she know how you told me you'd hold me until you died" "Till you died Well, you're still alive" "And I'm here" " Hi, Mummy." " Hi, baby." " Hi, Aunt Puss." " Good morning, early bird." " Where are the boys?" " Oh, they're back at the motel, cuddled up asleep." " I thought I'd just..." " Mmm." "drive out and say bye to dad." "Oh, he's sleeping, Ruth." " I think he should be left." " Oh, don't worry." "I'll sneak in." "I won't wake him." "W" " Wait, Ruth." "We'll come too." "Okay." "I'll race you." "Come on." "Oh, God." "Om." "Om mani padme om." "Dad!" "You're up!" "Oh, my God, that's great!" "That's great!" "What's the matter?" "What's going on?" "You're not sick at all, are you?" "We're all sick from worrying about you, Ruth." " What?" " There's someone visiting we want you to talk to." " You're bullshitting me." " We just want to be sure you're on the right track." " Hi, sis!" " Hi, Ruthy!" "Look, you'll bloody well stay here, and get this sheet off." " How dare you!" " Easy, easy, easy!" "You liar!" "You lied to me!" "I fucking came home!" "You made me think you're dying, you liar!" "We're here because we all love you." " Yeah." "We all love you." "I" " I love you." " Yeah, sis." "You know- You know we love you." " Yeah, Ruth." "We all love you." " Yeah, of course we do." "Yeah." "We love you, sis." " Where's mum?" " Keep it tight." " Come on." "I'll take you to meet him." " It's for your own good." "No thanks." "Where's mum?" "Oh, you want your mummy now, do you?" "Not so tough, eh?" "You've met your match in him, girlie." "He's gonna straighten you out." "He's a great guy, sis." "He's real experienced in religion and stuff." "Just three days." "Just listen to him, yeah?" "Get around." "Get around her." "You fucking, lying shit!" "You lying shit!" "I hate you!" "Let go!" "Let go!" "Tim!" "Timmy." "Timmy, let" " Let me talk to you and mum, please?" "Tim- Please, Tim." "Please!" "Please, Timmy, please!" "Please." "Please!" "Timmy!" "Come on, walk over." "Oh, God!" "He's not there?" "No other back-ups?" "Nobody else?" "Phone's out of range." "It doesn't work." "Look at this." "It's a gift." "See?" "She's coming towards me." "We're on step one." "This could be over in 12 hours." " What about your lady friend, Carol?" " I need someone now." "But there isn't anyone." "I've tried the Rabbi." "I've left several messages." "No response." "What do we do?" "Just..." "let her go?" "Yeah, we let her go." "Three little steps, Stan, but you don't want to fall." "Keep up with her." "Well, you're the expert." "I want to talk to my mother." "Sure." "You're in." "So, you gonna do it?" "Oh, there." "Why?" "Why?" "Why?" "Because I think you've been manipulated." "Maybe even drugged." "No!" "No, Mum." "Mum, I'm the only one of my friends who doesn't do drugs." "Tell her!" "I'm sorry, Ruth." "That's what I believe." "I believe you're manipulating me right now." " Mum." "Mum, Mum?" " Yeah?" "Why are you here?" "To save you." "No." "I mean on Earth." "Why are you here?" "What's the point of your life?" "Is this a trick?" "No!" "No, Mum." "It's a real question." "Why are you here?" "Do you ever think about that?" "Yes!" "I think about a lot of things." "I think about the..." "magnetic draw of the planets, their ever-shifting relationship, the healing power of crystals." "Look, mum and dad have spent a small fortune on this guy, who, by the way, has a very good reputation." " According to who?" " Let me finish." " No!" "Go on." "According to who?" " So why don't you just do the three days?" " According to who?" " Just do the three days." "We'll all be" " Excuse me." "According to who?" " Okay, to a friend of mine." " A doctor." "Apsychiatrist, okay?" " No." "May I?" "Come on." "Come on, big jump." "Flying!" "Oh!" "Whoo!" "That was a good one." "It's my turn." "Is it my go?" "What do you believe in?" "Safe sex." " Sex?" " I'm an anarchist." "My parents subscribed to their magazine." ""The Lord's Prayer is muttered by traumatized, paranoid worms... groveling for a meager existence. "" " Traumatized worms?" " Traumatized, paranoid worms." " So what's happening?" "Have they finished?" " No." "But the good news is, she's shaken hands on it." "She's going to do the three days." "He finally promised her a ticket back to India." "Excuse me, Robbie." "He wants to leave as soon as possible." " Well, where are they going?" " Out of the way, love." "Where are they going?" "I think he should have told me about it." "I mean, I'm supposed to be in charge of the security operation." "To the half way hut." "He says he can't work anywhere near the family." "Look, we're very lucky to have him, given the circumstances." "We're getting his personal assistant out from America," " and she's experienced." " Mm-hmm." "I'm not going to think costs." "We have to do it." "Mmm." "Well, that's all well and good, but what about the security operation?" "What about Fabio?" "Do we send him home?" " Well done, dear." " Good luck, Ruthy." " Fuck off, all of you." " You, madam, watch yourself with your mother." "Hey, come on, Ruth." "You can talk, you hypocrite." "Where's your little love bomb?" "I don't know what you're talking about." " Don't engage with her." " Yes, you do!" "Where's my half sister then, Dad?" " You know, your secretary's secret little love bomb?" " What love bomb?" " She's in a complete fantasy." " If this cure works," "I'll be as fucked a liar as you." "Keep up with her." "Go!" "To the rescue!" "It's my go." "Batman!" "Shoes please, Ruth." "Day one, isolate her." "Get her attention." "Win her respect." "I feel for these kids, every one of them." "They're lost and they don't know it yet." "Ugh!" "This is, um, a complete waste of time." "You're never going to break me." "That's fine." "I didn't expect it to be easy." "You're a young, intelligent lady... with strong convictions." "It would be a little disappointing if it were too quick." "There's no way I can even listen to someone like you, who dyes their hair." " I've made up my mind." " Oh, you've made up your mind?" "Yes, that's right." "And how, may I ask, did that happen?" " What?" " How did you do it?" "Did you make your mind... hard and solid, like a brick- always the same rain or shine, nothing gets through?" "If I was to say to you," "" Don't think of pink butterflies," you don't, right?" "Or do you?" " I'm not thinking of pink butterflies." " You just mentioned them." "You see, the mind is a rebel." "It is not a servant." "I'm not the one who will break you, Ruth." "Your own mind will." "It will seek the truth, and the truth will set you free." "John, 8:32." "It's already heard the truth." "The truth about your saintdom?" "Baba and Mrs. Baba?" "Not everything's a posture." "Not everything's a joke." "You're right." "It's not a joke." "We're talking about your soul here." "Have you thought about the damage... that could be done to your soul, to your very center, if you hand it over to someone else?" "To the wrong someone else?" ""I feel within me that spark, that atom emanation of the divine spirit. "" "Guiseppe Verdi." "The soul is the match." "The spark." "The flame that can light your path." "I want to ask you a question." "What, in your opinion, is the most important task of a human life?" "Any idea?" "Is this multiple choice, or a fake question?" "It's an oratory technique." "Have you heard of Socrates?" "Yeah." ""The soul takes nothing with her to the other world... but her education and culture. "" "So let's get to the facts." "What are you doing with your soul?" "What is Chidaatma Baba teaching you?" "What's the point of my telling you?" "You already have an opinion." "I want to know what you know." "Something has touched you, hasn't it?" "To find out that, you'd have to look into my heart." "Way beyond something you can read in a book and quote." "It is." "It is." "It is." "That's- That's his teaching." "Oh, that's what he said?" "His words?" ""It is"?" "His words." "" He alone attains unto it who exclaims, 'It is!" "It is!" "'" "Thus may it be perceived and apprehended in its essence. "" "The Upanishads."

"You can't stand the fact that I've got faith, can you?" "'Cause you're so frightened and dried up." "But feeling- just trusting your heart- it's beyond you." "I get strength like- like you can't imagine from my choice." "That's what we're really here to examine." "The meaning of the word choice, and whether you had one or not." "Hello?" "Listen, I need clothes for Ruth." " Oh, yes?" " Can you meet me at the yards?" " Okay, but two changes?" " Do you think dresses or pants?" " You decide." "Dresses." "Put your trust in me" "Like I have faith in you" "Put your trust in me" " Have you got the clothes?" " Yeah." "The clothes and... the coffee." "So, has she started talking yet?" " A little." " Oh." "Oh, she's so lucky to have you to talk to." "I've got problems too, you know?" " Robbie thinks I've been having an affair." " Oh." "Yeah." "He found my letters." "So... you are?" "Robbie's so mad." "Just wants to beat the guy up." "He has no idea who it is, and he'll never, ever guess." "Shall I tell you?" "Okay." "Me." "I wrote them." "Oh, they're so beautiful." "And they're so romantic." " You" " You wrote the letters?" " Yeah." "I don't have sex with Robbie." "I have sex with film stars." "I cut out their picture and I stick them on my bedside drawer." "And when Robbie and I make love, I pretend that it's..." "Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise." "I like Sly, too." "Do you?" " Mmm." " In the dark," " I imagine that Robbie's arms and legs are theirs." " Woof." " Oh, honeybunch!" "Oh, that's lovely, Robbie!" "Yeah!" "Yeah!" "Oh, T" "Tom!" "Tom!" "Oh!" "Oh, God, Matt!" " Matt!" "Oh!"

"You think a sari is going to change that?" "Ten hundred saris won't hide that." "And you'll only succeed in tying a big knot around yourself." "Hello." "Would you... share what you're thinking, please?" "Hello!" "Meditating." "I was just meditating on the difference between you and Baba." "He wears a dress." "He lives the way he teaches." "Mmm." "And what, specifically, has he taught you?" "To do good." "To be a good person." "And how is that manifesting itself?" "Are you out there doing good deeds?" " Paying taxes?" " You're a cynic." "Yes." "Yes, I am a cynic... because I investigate crap." "What about the crap in you, Ruth?" "Did you take that to..." "the guru?" "You're a shit." "You don't care about me." "You don't even know me." " And I didn't go to Baba to get my fucked-upness fixed." " Well, you'd be the first." "All right, so I hoped it would help me grow." " I know I'm not perfect." " Good, Ruth." "Yeah." "So what do you believe in then?" "Why do you want to know that?" "Because I'm just curious to know what you worked out." "So you can follow me?" "Sorry, honey." "That's not my ticket." "I told you, don't you ever touch me!" "My body is mine, honey." "You're a prick." "You know, you'd be better off crying." " Fuck you!" " I don't want to disempower you." "Oh, yeah?" "If you want disempowerment, you go right back to Mother India." "See how they treat women there."

"You're so brainy!" "Oh, you're so big." "Can I suck your dick?"" "Can I be alone now?" "So, was it the ultimate revenge?" "What was?" "Taking your beauty off to an ashram." "Beauty has its own price." " You wouldn't know." " Yeah, it attracts the shit." "Can do." "Now, I've dated some beautiful..." "ladies." "My ex-wife was a model." " Wow." " A bit paranoid." "Always going on about fat people." "She looked good though." " Oh, right." " Excuse me?" ""She looked good though. "" "Yes." "Well, it didn't work that well." "There was a kind of a hostility between us." "She was always mincing about." "Very flirty with the friends." "Suggesting open marriage- which we... did." "We both slept around." "Um," "I slept around." "Then we went to India." "There were six of us." "Next thing, she's off with my best friend." "I punched him out, left the bus and wanted to die."
