Short filmTranscript
00:01If they say you only have a year to live, do it sober.
00:05It'll seem like an eternity.
00:13Charlie, why don't you tell us what you want to thank God for?
00:17Six months of sobriety? Nothing you want to say?
00:20Do I smell like weed?
00:21No.
00:22I think I smell like weed.
00:24You look like you came from a funeral.
00:26Why don't I use your bathroom?
00:27Hey, go ahead.
00:28Let me see those.
00:30My mother's oxy.
00:34Dad, I'm not going to listen to you tell me what a drug addict I am.
00:37Tough, dear.
00:38Careful. I'm one of your constituents now.
00:39You wouldn't want to lose the governor's race by one vote.
00:41You can either head back to treatment or live on the streets.
00:43It's your choice.
00:44Charlie.
00:45You think your dad's going to know about any of this when he's elected?
00:47No, he's going to be in Sacramento doing his governors.
00:49Oh, what, you taking their side?
00:50Right, you're right.
00:51Go shoot up. Prove everyone right.
00:53Just stick it out for 30 days.
00:58Being an outpatient comes with more freedom but more responsibility.
01:01There's still a group though, right?
01:03Every day.
01:04You think he'll stay?
01:05He has no choice.
01:06Hey, you making a break for it?
01:08Friendship during sobriety, not a problem.
01:10Romance, however, tends to get the way.
01:12You can look but you can't touch.
01:14When you enter rehab, you get strip searched.
01:16And if I had known that that would be the last time that anybody would touch me,
01:19I would have tried to enjoy it more.
01:20Alright, you're done.
01:23You were funny, man.
01:24You got something.
01:25It's not for everybody.
01:26It's for you.
01:27You know what would be so great right now?
01:30A drink?
01:31If you continue to refuse to accept the disease that put you here,
01:34you will continue to be a repeat offender.
01:36Don't you mean repeat customer?
01:38I love him!
01:39Oh, I don't love him!
01:40I don't know!
01:41You've had plenty of choices, Charlie!
01:42Yeah, rehab or jail.
01:43You know, quite a wide selection there.
01:45One of us had to keep him safe.
01:47For him?
01:48Or for you?
01:49I can't stay here anymore, okay?
01:50This place is like a prison.
01:51It's not even close.
01:52But don't worry.
01:53If you're not dead, you'll probably end up there anyway.
02:05It was never about the drugs.
02:07All I ever wanted was a way to kill the noise.
02:09Getting sober is a selfish thing.
02:11You gotta help yourself first.
02:15I know what you're thinking.
02:16Who is this kid with the silver spoon in his mouth,
02:18and why does he keep cooking heroin in it?
02:20Total waste of a good utensil.
02:21Right.
02:22That man and I just stay away!
02:23Come, where gets a job?
02:25It really won't be good.
02:28If you ask, I face what you call people on a paper.
02:29You're not strict.
02:30You're not strict with my own, or not.
02:31I feel like with those things.
02:32You're not strict.
02:33You're not strict with your ownmal nails.
02:34You're not strict with your own self.
02:37But overall, we're not strict with your original rose.
02:39And we need tossed around the mud
02:42and over.
02:43We should have suggested around and beyond everything.
