mine the boy on the boat never did like small town folks they're medicines aren't they they must be sick yeah they're medicines all right charlie they're they're good drugs can be a big help when a doctor prescribes them for a specific purpose my kids kids don't get these from doctors cheap drunk well something like that at first they take them to relax only these barbiturates are addictive physically put enough of that in their system over a long period of time and from then on they have to take them they get hooked the more they take the more hook they get sometimes they sometimes they lose track of how many they've taken they overdose fall asleep never wake up that goes for the barbiturates cocktails are different too many of those could affect his brain if he was hooked could he quit on his own if he wasn't in too deep with the barbiturates quitting could be dangerous withdrawal's severe even fatal he might hallucinate like a trunk where the dts are going to convulsion charlie if you can't when you bring the boy in well it's like my first real date when the big moment comes the chick looks up at me and smiles and she's got a big chunk of spinach hanging out i mean
