Debbie aslee?
It's after eleven.
-
I didn't want her to see me
You don't look...
-
So bad?... Joe, I haven't had a drink in two days.
Wall, that's... that's terrific
-
It wasn't easy. I wanted to talk to you... it's sort of a pennace, you might say.
You'd be suprised how much fun you can have sober, once you get the hang of it.
-
And you've got the hang of it
I think so. And believe me, it's the greatest
-
I want to come home
It's been a long road, a lot of detours. I can forgive you, I can try to help you, but I don't know if I can take you back. I don't know if I can forget enough. I thought I could, but now I don't know.
-
You;re talking about them. I was just lonely. Love is the only thing that can keep lyo from being lonely, and I didn't have that.
I'm listening Kirs. There is a little kid in there asleep who sure would like to wake up and find you here, all you have to do is say the right words.
-
I don't think I can ever stop drinking, Joe... not completely, like you, I couldn't.
You could...
-
I don't want to. But I need to be loved. I get so lonely, I can't stand it.
I want to leve you, Kirs, but I'm afraid of you. I'm an alcoholic. I can't take a drink. But I'm afraid of what we do to each other. If you'd only say you'd try...
-
I know this soulds crazy but... I can't face the idea of never having another drink.
One day at a time. One day at a time.
-
I can't, I can't
Doesn't it impress you at all that I've been sober for almost a year, that I'm delighted to be this way, that I'm delighted to be this way, that I'm working steady and feeling great, that Debbie and I are moving out of this dump into a decent place? And all because I'm sober.
-
You're strong. You can help me. If we only had it back like it was...
Back like it...!! Do you remember how it really was, Kirs? It was you and me and booze. A threesome. A threesome! Remember? Oh, it was great while it lasted, don't get me wrong...
-
And we can have it back that way! I know we can! if...
If I'd drikn with you! Right? But I'm not going to dring with you! That's finished!
-
I wouldn't ask you to drink with me. I'd control myself...
You can't control yourself! you're an alcoholic, same as I am!
-
No!
You and I were a couple of drunks on a sea of booze in a leaky boat! and it sank! But I've got hold of something to keep me from going under, and I'm not going to let go, not for you, not for anybody. If you want to grab on, grab on, but there's only room for you and me. No threesome.
-
I can't get over how dirty everything looks.
Try it one more day.
-
-
I'm afraid I'm not that unselfish. You'd better give up on me, Joe.
Not quite yet.
-
Thanks. Good night
Kirs... Take care of yourself
