[laughing] Oh, fuck.
What the fuck?
I'm going to kill him.
He's dead. He's...

[Graha Scotland is a land of many superstitions.
[Sam] That's quite true.
There's a superstition about the direction
- you stir your porridge. - Really?
You wanna stir your porridge...
is it clockwise or anticlockwise?
It's pretty important you know.
Basically to ward off the devil.
- Right. - I feel like I didn't...
haven't been getting it right.
Have you been turning it in the wrong direction?
- I think I have. - Yeah, you are basically
Satan's little helper.
Whenever I make porridge, yeah.
They say Satan's clever.
He'd hardly catch many unsuspecting souls
if he laid his traps in bogs and tunnels.
Do you have superstitions? I bet you do.
-The only one I really have... -I bet you do.
... to be honest, is when I run a marathon.
I'll always have a new pair of socks for each marathon.
Well, I mean, that's-that's not superstition.
That's just hygiene.
Do you have any superstitions?
Yeah, I kind of do. I have these sort of weird...
Black cat!
Wow. Uh... I used...
Ladder.
- C-can I continue? - Okay.
I don't want this episode to be
just one near heart attack after another for me,
if that's okay.
- Aye, okay. - Yeah.
Oh, my God! What's that?
Oh, shoot, it was just a...
Ho-ho! Oh. Oh.
[laughter]
[Sam] I'm going to have such a good day.
[Graham] Yeah, you're gonna get it so... oh.
[Sam] Scotland's landscape is littered
with castles, cemeteries, and ruins.
The past is ever present,
and the barrier between the world of the living
and the world of the dead is especially thin.
[Graham] In years past,
Highlanders would summon ancestral spirits
to stand alongside them in battle.
Now Scots invoke the memory of the dead
through quaint superstitions and terrifying ghost stories.
[Sam] And it's not just ghosts that haunt the Scottish mind.
The devil himself lurks around every corner
and in every shadow.
[Graham] It was this ever-present specter
of the devil that led to the passage
of 1563's Witchcraft Act.
[Sam] Still, the old ways are neither gone nor forgotten.
[Graham] Many modern Scots keep
the ancient flame of paganism burning brightly
like the bonfires of Beltane.
[Sam] With all this as backdrop, is it any wonder
that Diana Gabaldon said of Scotland...
[Graham] "There's no place on Earth
"with more of the old superstitions and magic
mixed into its daily life."
Here we are in Greyfriars Kirkyard.
[Sam] Part church, part prison, and part graveyard.
[Graham] Yeah.
[Sam] It's the final resting place
of the Covenanters,
Scotland's most famous religious dissidents.
- [Graham] Yes. - [Sam] And this is a woman
that proclaims that as a child,
she would draw skulls.
Charlotte, your job title is...
- Death historian. - [Graham] A death historian.
A death historian.
And this is, as you said,
one of your-your favorite places.
It is a remarkably spooky place
and in fact, actually, I think,
possibly one of the most populated places in Edinburgh
under the ground.
- By far. - [Graham] Really?
- [Sam] Yes. - By far.
We are talking fingers and everything...
- Coming out of the ground. - ... coming out of the ground.
-Up here... -[Charlotte] Mm-hmm.
-... there was a prison where... -[Charlotte] Yes. Yes.
[Graham] Oh, yeah, there's... oh, yeah.
[Sam] ... hundreds of people were-were buried.
Do you wanna go in a prison?
- I thi... [laughs] I do. - [laughs] You do?
Can we go and have a look in a prison?
There's so much to see here.
I think we should start wandering along.
Are you gonna get naked in the prison?
- What? - Um... that... well...
Well, you've done that already, haven't you, Sam?
You-you never know. It did happen in Outlander.
[Graham] Yes, you did. I seem to remember that, yeah.
[Sam] It is a remarkable place.
Is it... dare I ask, is it haunted as the bells...
- Well, does it feel haunted? - ... go off?
Well, by tradition,
every single burial ground is haunted
because the last person to be buried
in a graveyard or a burial ground
is meant to look after the rest of the bodies.
[Graham] Tell us a little bit about the Covenanters.
[Sam] Who were Presbyterian religious dissidents.
[Charlotte] Yes, Charles I, who was the last monarch
to be born in Scotland,
he was under the Episcopalian faith
rather than the Presbyterian faith.
He brought in the new prayer book
and the whole of Edinburgh rioted about this.
They did not want this new prayer book.
Here at Greyfriars, there was a riot of women
who chased the minister out of the building
because they were not gonna have this new prayer book.
This man here, we have Alexander Henderson.
He was one of the founding people
who wrote up the-the National Covenant.
[Graham] Oh. Hence Covenanters.
This was signed inside Greyfriars Kirk itself.
Wow.
And basically they were saying,
"We are loyal subjects to the king."
Yep.
"We're quite happy to do whatever the king wishes.
"Just take the Episcopalianism out of Scotland
and we'll all be fine."
[Sam] King Charles clearly didn't agree.
[Charlotte] We're going towards the Covenanters' prison now.
The Covenanters were rounded up.
There was over a thousand of them.
- And they were brought here. - [Graham] A thousand?
- [Charlotte] Over a thousand. - [Graham] In here?
[Sam] Wow.
But basically just an open piece of ground.
[Charlotte] Open to the damp, the cold.
They got one penny loaf a day.
That was their ration each.
So a lot of people died of starvation
while they were here.
What it came down to is 380 people left.
They stuck by their guns.
The Covenanters believed they were God's people.
- They were not gonna back down. - May we go in?
[Charlotte] I'm quite happy to take you into the prison.
- [Graham] Please. - [Sam] Thank you, then.
After you.
No, really, I insist. After you.
[sighs] Oh, God.
[eerie music plays]
โช
[Graham] Are-are you locking us in?
[Charlotte] I am locking us in.
- [Graham] Yeah, fine. - [Sam] Is there a reason?
It's best to have people... unable to get in.
A homeless man broke in
on a really dark and stormy night.
[Graham] Uh-huh.
He saw this grate at the bottom.
Yes.
And through the grate, he saw some stairs.
Yes. Now, let me guess.
- He went down the stairs. - He went down the stairs.
- Why? Why? - Don't go down the stairs?
He went down the stairs.
If you're in a graveyard, it's simple.
- Don't go down the stairs. - Rule 101 of horror movies.
He's homeless. He's cold.
Meanwhile, in the graveyard, Graeme the caretaker
and his little pooch were walking around.
Ah, Graeme the caretaker.
Not sure if it's Graham with a H.
It's another Graeme. Don't worry.
[Graham] Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
[Charlotte] Graeme hears a noise
coming from George Mackenzie's tomb,
which is meant to be haunted because George Mackenzie,
atrocities against the people, it was said
that his spirit would never be allowed to rest.
We have the homeless man downstairs,
and he sees three wooden boxes.
[Graham] He doesn't open them.
What's inside the wooden box?
No, he does not.
-He opens... -Oh, for goodness' sake.
... the wooden box and steps back,
and as he steps back, the wooden flooring gives way
and he falls into another burial pit.
Graeme sees this horrendous face
coming up towards him.
- Covered in gunk. - Covered in gunk.
Graeme and the dog go running one way out of the graveyard,
and this homeless man goes off elsewhere.
We don't know what happened to the homeless man.
He's probably still in shock, I think.
Graeme's not a caretaker anymore.
Should imagine not.
But this is where it goes sinister.
- Oh, there's more. - There's more.
Oh, sorry. Shall we continue walking?
No, we don't need to continue walking.
[Graham] Oh, we're here, are we?
- [Charlotte] We are here. - [Graham] Oh, God!
[Sam] Oh.
[Charlotte] On that fateful night,
something was released from George Mackenzie's tomb.
Whatever was meant to torment George Mackenzie forevermore
was released out of that coffin that night,
and for some reason, it has taken its leave
in the Covenanters' prison.
Aprรจs vous.
I just... I'm really scared!
I'm really scared.
Listen, I'm not normally somebody
who is scared about this sort of thing, but...
No, you're not.
You know... okay, let's just take in the view, okay?
-A black hole... -Mm-hmm.
- ... with an iron gate. - Mm.
In you go, gentlemen. After you.
[Graham] Holy shit.
It's horrible.
It is.
All right, you'll just notice some of the area
in the ceiling up here,
- the discoloration. - [Graham] Yes.
Yep.
[Sam] Wait. Oh, don't.
- [sighs] - [Graham] Is that your...
[Charlotte] I have to tell you what happens in here
and I have to keep you locked in.
- Is that your idea? - Wasn't my idea.
Now we are locked into the Black Mausoleum.
I'm gonna pass you these photographs.
Oh, yes. Photographs. Great.
[Sam] Oh, God, no.
These are photographs that people have sent in
of things that have happened to them
while they've been standing within the Black Mausoleum.
They get burns, bite marks, bruises,
and then there's the knockouts.
- The what? - The what?
The knockouts.
People have been knocked out in here?
If you're standing in there and you feel an intense cold
building up inside you,
you can take a step to the side.
Why-why-why-why-why-why would we take a step to the side?
Because a few seconds later, you will be on the ground.
Oh, I see. Right. Okay.
Now, I've seen big, burly men
end up on that floor.
- [Graham] Have you really? - I have,
and I've had nothing to do with it.
And... right.
Why is the ceiling so discolored?
I don't know.
This is one of the weirdest places
I've ever been to in my life.
I think we should move on.
[upbeat music plays]
[Graham] I'm looking forward to Wormiston House.
[Sam] Mm.
I'm looking forward to hearing some of the stories
of the witch trials, of the persecution, of...
well, of course, the thing is,
you know, they-they talked about witchcraft,
but really, in-in fact, it was just about persecuting people
who weren't doing anything wrong.
That's the reality of it. They...
Well, I mean, they were witches, right?
- What? - They were witches, though.
I mean, if you're a witch...
Geillis Duncan,
you're under arrest for witchcraft.
- [glass shatters] - Under whose orders?
Well, lookee here. The other sorceress.
Would you have burnt me as a witch?
Absolutely.
- Really? No hesitation. - Absolutely.
You would have gone and reported
-to the witchfinder general and said... -Yes. I'd say-
[with high-pitched voice] "There's a man down the road.
He looks a bit witchy to me."
"There's definitely a stench of witch coming off him."
"Yes, I saw him... I saw him
dancing with Satan in his garden."
"He does funny voices too. He speaks like the devil."
[normally] Right. Well, that's good to know.
Weren't actors burnt, um, or at least mistrusted?
- Oh, actors? Oh, my goodness. - Yeah.
They used to bury actors at crossroads,
I think sometimes with a stake through their heart,
because they-they were so terrified
of them, um, coming back, because they didn't trust them
because they could pretend to be other people.
It was a very terrifying time to live.
Pretty much like right now with you.

Leonard Low. Pleasure to meet you.
I'm not sure I'm gonna shake your hand, Mr. Low.
I see your T-shirt with a cauldron
with skeletons being burnt by the devil
as the crow makes its way towards the... wicked wood.
- Rooky wood. Rooky wood. - Rooky wood.
I love it when you quote Shakespeare; it's great.
Can't mention witches without mentioning Shakespeare.
He learnt the story of the three witches of Forres
and incorporated it into Macbeth, you see?
That's a true story.
And the Spence family that built Wormiston Castle,
they're related to the MacDuffs of-of Macbeth.
- Ah. - Really?
I dare-daren't ask, but this magnificent house,
castle, Wormiston, what happened here?
The Lindsay family took this house over in 1621.
They were the sheriffs of Crail.
Crail's a little village just around the coast.
Recently, I was speaking to Sir James Lindsay.
"James, your ancestors were the sheriff.
"And they would've stood in jurisdiction
over my ancestor, Bessie Mason, who was burnt for a witch."
- Your ancestor was burnt as a witch? - Yes, aye.
Aye, burnt as a witch,
and it was the owner of this castle,
his ancestors that did it.
[Graham] And Scotland was particularly zealous
in its persecution of witches, wasn't it...
- Yes. - ... compared to anywhere else.
Well, in England, it was treated as a crime,
a crime that you could- you could be hanged for.
Right, right.
But in Scotland, it was treated as heresy,
and heresy, you have to be burned. Every bit of you.
Oh, of course. You have to be burnt.
Burn the witch! Burn them both!
[crowd shouting]
Conduct the prisoners to the pyre, if you please.
I think it's about time we went and saw
where all the action took place in the dungeon.
Oh, great. Yes, let's go to the dungeon.
- Fantastic. I can't wait. - [laughs]
Let's go to the scary place.
Let's go to the big scary place where there's no exit.
[Leonard] Jail cells in Scotland
weren't that secure,
but this one is a beauty.
If you come here... I've got- I've got a bowl of food.
[Sam] I don't really know
if I want to follow you anywhere.
This is a bowl of lovely stones
and a bit of, uh, fresh, uh, whatever that is,
and-and what-what you'd do as, um, the jailer,
you'd feed your witches
by pushing that through there to feed 'em.
So if you could push that through there...
- Yep. - ... you'll get an idea...
- Oh! No! No! - Oh, God! Oh, God!
- Not again! - Oh, damn you!
- I knew it! - [laughter]
- I'm gonna get you for that. - I knew it.
- Was it you? - I knew you couldn't trust him.
It's a hungry witch.
So we're going in, are we?
- [both] Yeah. - Right.
Oh, God, I don't know if I wanna go in there.
Well, yeah, after you. Definitely after you.
- [Sam] Go on! - [thumps door]
[Leonard] Are you gonna come out, though?
There's no one there.
- Oh, my God. - [Leonard laughs]
[Graham] Oh, God. Oh.
It's very cramped.
-Anyway... -[Sam] Yeah, no.
- You're going next. - [Graham] Wow.
[Leonard] We need-we need a light.
- Come on in, Sam. Don't be shy. - [Sam] Oh, God.
โช
This is a truly terrifying collection
of ironmongery that you have here.
[Leonard] A witch is to confess to her sins.
Normally, they would deny all accusations of witchcraft...
Yeah.
... because the-the-the end result
doesn't look too good for them.
[Graham] Mm.
[Leonard] But they had these methods
to get a confession through torture.
What we have here is, uh, 16th-century, uh, thumb screws.
- Ah, the thumb screw. Okay. - The dreaded thumb screw.
Now, if I lift, uh, this up here
and you stick a couple of thumbs in there...
- [Sam] "I'm not a witch." - Oh.
- [Sam] "I'm not a witch." - Oh, immediately...
But see, we-we've got this device here
to twist it down to nothing.
[Graham] Okay, you can stop now, Sam.
- Thanks. - [laughter]
And-and it got...
That's actually getting quite sore.
This would crush your bones.
I can't take my thumbs out now.
[Leonard] I'd have a confession in front of you now.
- "Sign it." - So they'd be standing...
- "Sign it." - Right.
[Leonard] And of course, you go "No."
I would just tighten it more.
-And then keep going and... -Yeah. Yeah.
When it came to making their mark,
many couldn't make their mark
because they'd had their fingers destroyed
in the torture process.
[Sam] If he was deemed a witch,
then maybe I might use one of these.
[Leonard] You wouldn't believe it,
but this is one of the lighter punishments.
Before the Witchcraft Act came into being,
many witches were found
and they-they were simply tried in the courts
and banished,
and to be banished, you had to be branded.
- You'd be branded a witch. - Where would you be branded?
You'd be branded in the face, on the cheek.
-On the forehead, or... -Around the cheek.
Is this your own personal item?
Uh, no. Uh, y-yes, I collect these...
You can loosen them now.
[laughs] I-I collect these-these items.
Oh, let me help you with that.
These-these are-these are actually real.
-Now... -Yes, I'll take one of these.
- Thank you. - This is a pricker.
Oh, look. It's just a little...
It's like a needle... needle or something.
[Leonard] It-it's a brass bodkin needle.
Um, now, this would be thrust into his body...
Oh.
... um, inch by inch, arm, back, face.
- Anywhere I want? - Yep.
[Leonard] If you're one of the devil's creatures
and he's given you his baptism rites of his own
and he's taken away your Christian baptism rites,
he's left a mark on your body that is insensible to pain.
So I need to prick you with this thing
until I get a spot on your body which you're not gonna go...
- Which it doesn't hurt. - Ah.
When you don't... where it...
that's so diabolically awful.
[Sam] What's this, Leonard?
[Leonard] Oh, this is-this is another device.
Ah.
[Leonard] See, you-you've- you've entered the jail.
You need to be restrained, you see?
- Hmm. - Well, we'd...
Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.
- What's going on here? - We'd unscrew this, you see.
Well, you're-you're clearly a witch,
so we need to lock you up.
How did I become the witch?
Just shh... see, witches... you're talking too much.
-You would've totally... -Keep talking, you.
-If there was anybody-anybody... -Yes, come on.
Let me just-let me just help you with this
so that I don't actually cut my own...
And then his hands through here, is it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just put his hands in there.
One of his little witchy wrists
and your other witchy one there.
Hold on. Hold on. All right, mate. Calm down.
- There we go. - We're all having fun now.
- You just tighten that up now. - Yeah, we tighten it up there.
Yes, not so clever now, are you, witch?
That's actually really quite solid.
- Did you... listen. - [Sam] Ah.
Can I... hold on one second. Hold on one second.
- Shh. - What the... holy shit.
- Let's just get that on there. - Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait.
- What-what are you doing? - Yep.
- Come on, witch. - He's making an awful noise.
[groans] Oh.
- Now, this is a witch's branks. - Okay.
This'd be your first initial walk through the village.
You'd go for a walk with this, and, uh,
everyone would be like, "Oh, look, there's a witch."
'Cause why else would you be wearing it?
[Sam] Then we could throw things at him.
[Graham] They'd throw things at me as well?
[Leonard] They'd be thinking, um,
"That ship that sunk last week,
the crops that failed, the-the child that died"...
[Graham] Basically anything that had gone wrong
in the village or in the community
they would blame on the poor soul
that was walking along with all this clobber on.
[Leonard] You would get it.
Are you gonna confess?
-Could you... -Are you gonna confess?
I-I'm gonna confess something in a minute, yeah.
Are you gonna confess?
C-could you do me a favor, Leonard,
and, uh, actually remove this from my arms?
- Ah. - What do you reckon?
The problem is, we don't have the key.
We don't know if he's a witch yet.
Yeah. I'll tell you what, Leonard.
Why don't we go have a cup of tea
and-and we'll come back and see if he'll confess later on?
You just stay there.
I think it's probably gonna fall off eventually.
Pints time, is it?
Oh. Okay.

We're in the Outer Hebrides, the Isle of Lewis,
a beautiful, beautiful island.
[Sam] This is one of the most iconic locations
inOutlander.
[mysterious rumbling]
- After me? - After you.
Thank you.
- There you go. - Oh! Ooh.
- Sorry. - [speaking indistinctly]
So here we are.
We're in Callanish Stones.
[Sam] Feels like I'm coming home a little bit.
[soft music plays]
[Graham] Just look at them.
I mean, they're like works of art.
They're truly beautiful.
[Sam] SoOutlander took casts of some of these stones.
[Graham] Did they? They came up here...
[Sam] T hey came up here and took a cast of it.
But they're in the studio, and these get moved around
and we put them in different locations.
But it's amazing to actually be here and see them.
When you come over the-the brow of the hill here
you see them standing
silhouetted on-on the landscape,
they are-they're really quite something.
[Graham] They are-they are amazing,
and this is one of the...
I think, the most impressive stone circles in Britain,
if not Europe.
I mean, there's... I've been to a few.
Avebury's great. Obviously, Stonehenge.
[Sam] Stonehenge, obviously.
[Graham] This is the Stonehenge of the north.
[Sam laughing] It-it is.
- [Graham] It is. - [Sam] It is.
And is this the stone in the show...
- This is the one. - ... that Claire touches?
This is the one, and actually, there was a point
where we did a shoot for one of the seasons
where we had the stone in a studio
surrounded by, I think, a hundred cameras,
-so we did this amazing sequence -Oh wow.
where it spins around and I'm on one side
and Caitriona was on the other.
Um... yeah, so we just need to get a hundred cameras
and we could re-create it here.
Whatev-whatever reason they had for bringing these things here,
-they had a reason, -Yeah.
and it was-it was-it was a reason that was enough
for them to drag these a mile and a half.
Can you imagine?
What was it... when were these built?
Two thousand nine hundred B.C.
Right, so 4... nearly 5,000 years ago,
they did that.
I don't know how they would have done it.
I don't know how they did it.
There's loads of myths about these stones.
They may have been giants that were frozen,
the ones that didn't convert to Christianity.
They don't... as they say, don't know
what they were used for,
some sort of pagan ritual, maybe,
maybe a gathering spot.
Some people think they were used
for the cycles of the moon.
[Graham] Yeah.
-Um, different times of the year, -Yeah.
every sort of 18 years, I think,
there's-there's a point where the sun hits a certain point.
[Graham] Yeah.
Do you think that the people who put these here
could ever have imagined that they would've been used
for a television show about time traveling
back to the Highlands of Scotland?
I think they'd be-be pretty happy about it.
- Would they? - Yeah.
Maybe they'd be...
Maybe that's why they were built.
One thing's for certain, they would've known things
-that have been lost... -Yeah.
... the people that brought these here.
And, uh... but that's kind of wonderful in a way,
that we'll... we don't know.
Sometimes it's good to... for-for mystery in life,
don't you think?
I would love to have gone back into that time
and seen-seen what went on here
and felt the excitement of being at this site
and the-the-the-the awe
and seeing the sun set or the-the moon rise and...
it-it must have been... for them, it must have been so magical.
Forgive me, but I have to do this.
Do what?
No one's here really,
and, um, it's my only chance.
I mean, I see every other tourist do it.
Can we-can we just do it together?
Yes, yes, yes.
- [sighs] - I'm-I'm sorry, mate.
Ready?
I-I'm gonna break it to you gently.
It's not gonna work.
The magic of television?
It's fiction.
Outlander'sfiction.
- What? - It's fiction.
- What, going through the stone? - Fiction.
You seem to have really have gone into this weird place
where you actually think that you're really a Highlander
living in the 18th-centu...
Just touch the stones.
You're telling me if I touch this,
I won't go through the stone?
Touch the stones.
- You wanna make a bet? - I'm prepared to be surprised.
[mysterious rumbling]
Yep. Go on.
Yep.
Here he goes.
Grah!
Still here.
- Ah. - There you go.
- Feel better now? - Yeah.
Good. Okay, which way is it now?
That way? Which way?
[soft music plays]
โช
[Sam] Do you have any pagan tendencies?
[Graham] I do, yes.
I was actually a druid in a past life.
[Sam] Oh.
I ask because our next stop is a Beltane celebration.
Beltane falls on my birthday, and it...
Right. Okay.
For many years growing up,
there used to be this big Beltane festival
- in Edinburgh. - Your mum used to come in
covered in paint, whirling fire?
[with high-pitched voice] "Hello."
[with high-pitched voice] "Happy birthday, Sam."
"Happy birthday, Sam."
"I'm going to swallow fire for you."
"I'm now going to burn you at the stake."
[normally] I never quite know
whether these people really believe
in the pagan festival
or they just like a good old party
where they sort of throw fire around.
Yeah, I think-I think there's definitely a mix of people,
people that take it really seriously
and those that are there just for a really good time.
[ethereal music plays]
โช
I'm so excited.
- [Graham laughs] - [Sam] Can you tell?
We decided to-to re-create Beltane here,
which is, uh, a pagan festival which celebrates...
Justina, you can maybe help us here.
-Beltane is the celebration of fertility -Fertility.
- when everything comes to full-full-blown life. - Fertility stuff.
- It feels very positive, right? - It is.
So what are we, uh... what are we to expect?
[Sam] Or experience tonight?
[Justina] Well, we are going to light this fire.
Okay.
Fire has always been the element
which drew people together.
And we are going to sing and dance around it
and celebrate being alive, being here,
celebrate our ancestors who were here before us,
and just open up for whatever- whatever may happen.
Let's be open to whatever may happen.
Whatever may happen. Goodness me.
I-I've certainly discovered that
in the last several weeks.
Whatever may happen, yes.
Okay. Let's get the fire started.
Let's get this fire started, huh?

Oh, mate. Wow.
It's been insane, hasn't it?
And... sorry to bring it up,
but, uh, you did seem to attempt
to, uh, scare me to death.
But I-I wanted to take this moment to just say...
-Mate... -... I remember that.
... there were a couple other things we wanted to try,
but...
You needed me for the rest of the show.
Yeah, unfortunately.
Yeah.
But anyway, here's to paganism, eh?
To paganism.
โช
Oh, God.
Oh, God, you're not getting naked again, are you?
Come on, mate!
- Oh, all right. - Let's go.
All right, all right, all right.

โช
- I don't want to go, Jamie. - Come on, Claire.
- You gotta go back. - I don't... no.
There's no place for you here.
Jamie, no. But you're so wonderful.
Stop it. Stop. Stop. Leave me alone, Claire.
- You're so pretty. - You're leaning... what...
No, I've not touched it yet. I'm not touching it.
Oh, you're not touching it? Okay.
- No. - Okay.
Sorry, we're-we're completely losing our minds now.
