Stephen Katz: [about his whiskey bottle] You know, Bryson, I wasn't actually hiding this. I wasn't lying about being dry either. The thing is, Bryson, I love to drink. Everything about it. I love the taste. And that buzz you get after you've had a couple. I love the smell of the tavern, right down to the urinal cakes. Hmm. But instead of going into the taverns like everybody else, I go home to my little apartment, and heat my TV dinner, and feel all virtuous like I'm supposed to. [sighs] Stephen Katz: But you know, night after night it's hard to persuade yourself that you're living a rich and thrilling existence. I mean, if they had a fun-o-meter the needle wouldn't exactly be jumping into the orgasmic zone. You know what I'm saying? [sighs] Stephen Katz: I mean, there's just this hole in my life where drinking used to be. [sighs heavily] Stephen Katz: I know I can't drink. I mean, one drink will lead to 10. And the next thing, I'll find myself underneath a bridge somewhere. Stephen Katz: That's why I carry this. To remind myself that I can. Or maybe I carry it in case I can't.
