Transcript

I said to him, I'm not paying that much. I will not take this cart back until you fix it. I stood my ground and so that's why we no longer have the cart. But we need the cart to transport food. Yes, but I was doing an exercise in discipline and yes it did backfire, but I think this is personal growth for me and unfortunately a decline for the rest of the group. The force would not present us with a challenge we could not overcome. I think we should send him to the hall. Not again.

Well, it's an extreme measure but a necessary one. I will make my decision. The hall, please be kind to me. Guilty. Oh no. Bring him to me. I am the mighty hall. All hail. All hail. All hail. All hail. You will be imprisoned in my guts. Oh no. Oh, this is worse than last time. Hail the hall. Is there anything I can do Mr. The hall? Mr. The mighty the hall, please. Great and mighty hall to you. Great and mighty hall. There is one challenge unmet. Anything, anything, I'll do anything.

You must find the holy cucumber. Holy cucumber, oh no. That's a good one. Oh no. And then the prophecy will be complete. I don't want anyone to take this the wrong way, but I don't believe in the holy cucumber. The holy cucumber, it's in the name. It's quite clearly real. No one's ever seen it. As the prophecy said, you will be the first to lay eyes upon it. Six people just this month have been supposedly the prophesied ones and they haven't come back yet. I don't know what happened to them.

Give them time. I want to be the sevens. As you said, we don't know what's happened to them. They've probably gone on a very long pilgrimage and will return in due course. Why are you always so negative? Because I don't. This is why you lost the cart. You saw it as a negative opportunity when you should have been more positive and tried to compromise. You said that the forest will provide. I said the forest wouldn't give us a challenge we couldn't overcome.

You could have probably overcome that challenge by being more positive. You use double negatives and it confuses me. I think negatively then. I don't think that was a double negative. Was that a double negative? The forest would not provide us with a challenge we couldn't overcome. It wasn't not a double negative. Okay, alright. Please, Mr. The Whole, at least give me some indication of where I have to go. The Great and Mighty Whole. Please, Mr. The Great and Mighty Whole.

Look deep inside yourself, as deep as the whole itself, and ask yourself, where would a holy cucumber be? North? Now, when he said, look deep inside yourself, you looked at your stomach. That's the deepest part of me. How am I supposed to just close my eyes and picture my stomach? Close your eyes and picture the holy cucumber. Can you see it? Can you see it? Can you see it? So big and holy? I just see the Great and Mighty Whole eating something. He's eating. What's he eating? A cart.

No, a green cart, an off cart. He's eating an off cart. Terrifying. Wait, it's not a cart. It's maybe the cart? Cucumber? An off green cart? Could that be a cucumber? Close your eyes again and look closer. Cucumbers are green. He's on the phone. He's on the phone. He's on the phone. He's looking at pictures. He's looking at pictures on Google and it says the holy cucumber and it's what he was eating. It was the holy cucumber. He was eating the holy, I don't know what to do.

Do you have the holy cucumber? This is not funny. Please address him by his title. You have become too informal. Mr. The Great and Holy Whole? Great and Mighty Whole. You don't say Holy Whole. He's not taking this seriously at all. He's really not taking it seriously. I think we should put him straight in the hole. I mean, I feel like he's made some progress at least. You had a vision not of the holy cucumber, but the holy courgette that I ate last week. That would explain it.

Yeah. Completely different. And in America they call it something else, but I can't remember. Zucchini? Yeah, there you go. We're not in America, are we? I'm sorry Great and Mighty Whole. Sorry for bringing up America. We know your feelings. You're the whole embedded in the rock of northwest Europe. Yeah. So where did you find the holy courgette? Jessica brought it. Would Jessica have anything more? Jessica has been rewarded with her place in the afterlife. I think he just ate her.

Guys, if you do or don't, you just get eaten. This is your negative attitude again. Wait, so negative? Am I the holy cucumber? No. No. He was deep inside me and that he wanted to eat me. I think I'm the holy cucumber. You were doing so well. I think he's wanting to eat me. He was picturing things in your mind for the first time. I was kind of proud of you. I think I'm supposed to be eaten by him and I want to be eaten. Did you eat the holy cucumber by mistake?

No. Hold on, when you were looking at your stomach, was that because you've eaten it? You ate the holy cucumber. That is sacrilege. I ate a cucumber from Jessica, sure, but it could have been anything. She ate an array of holy things. There you go. You can't just eat things with holes. You worship things with holes. Come on now, if we can't eat anything with holes, then we're going to starve. You know Jessica is so good at finding holy items. Why would you eat something from her? I was hungry.

I lost the cart. It took a day to get back here. I had to walk the whole way. How did you lose the cart? I told you. The mechanic wouldn't fix it. So I said, I'm not paying for this until you do. And he said, fine, it's mine now. And I'm I haven't made that much progress. Always been so cheap. It's been one of your major failings. Just pay for a taxi. We all get here. If anyone would just let me in to the holy funds, I'd be fine.

But no, your attitude towards money has been what has prevented you rising in the ranks. You're level threes. You're level zero. Which seems unfair. You start at level one. It's not fair that I'm a zero. It's called a probation period. We've given you lots of chances. I've been very patient and you were doing so well earlier. If you hadn't lost the cart, we were going to anoint you into level one again. Oh God, I got a robe. I want a robe. And a hat. And a hat.

I thought they were for level twos. I didn't really. You can't really see them under the robes. They're very small. Very small hat. Yeah. I still think I'm the prophesized holy cucumber. Oh no, I had it. Never mind. I still think that I don't want to be eaten. That's where I'm. I think the rock wants to eat me. Never been established. The rock? What? The rock? Yeah, come on. How dare you call it the rock? It's the great and mighty hole. It's not a rock. All right, well, whatever it is.

I'm hungry. Bring him to me. They call me. No, I don't. No. You brought this on yourself. Bring him. I can smell the holy cucumber. Oh, this seems like you're using my actions to get away with your own please. Yum, yum, yum. Please no. The whole needs a sacrifice. The whole needs a sacrifice. The whole needs a sacrifice. Oh my god, that's the last of him. Yeah. He was really starting to annoy me. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. He was really starting to annoy me. I know.

Such a negative Nellie. I'm so sorry for introducing him to this. Yeah, we should never have let him in. Very, very tasty. Well, that'll settle him for another week. So our necks are less in line. But yeah. Drinks? Yeah, I'm, I'm arched. All right, I'll get the, I'll get fresh out. Do I watch?
