  • (..) shiatsu massage in my room. Mmm, that's nice. And the tightness has completely, uh, disappeared... Mmm. And been replaced by... unbelievable pain. Just staggering, unbearable pain. Ooh, that's too bad. Yeah. I'm in pain. I got my foot banged up, and... Wanna see it? How do you say no? (..)
