We'll be able to slip back in the house
and catch another hour or two of sleep

before we open up. Okay.

Get the light, huh? What do you mean,
get the light?

I'll get it.

Oh, my God.

Veronica.

Is she alive?

She's asleep.

Veronica.

Carmine.

Veronica.

Gino.

Are you okay?

You tell me, was I okay?

Murray.

Veronica Rooney, you ought to be ashamed
of yourself.

What are you two doing in my bedroom?

Oh, jeez, I never done this before.

Don't get excited. You didn't do it this
time, neither.

And why are you laying sleeping on a
table where we had to prepare the

comestibles? Come on, sit up.

When are you going to give up them two
bad guys you've been going steady with?

Leave Carmine and Gino out of this. I
wasn't talking about Carmine and Gino. I

was talking about Jack Daniel and Jim
Beam.

What are you talking about? I didn't
even have nothing to drink yesterday.

Get out of here. I seen you in the bar
filling up a big water glass full of

bourbon.

So I had one drink because I've been
feeling lousy lately.

Listen, Veronica, why don't you come to
my doctor who's a specialist in feeling

lousy lately. Now, look, he'll make some
tests and tell you what's wrong with

you. I got no time for tests, Murray.

It ain't gonna take long. You know
what's wrong with you? The minute you

his office and you breathe out and his
potted plants wither and die.

I don't have to listen to this.

There's nothing wrong with me.

Oh, my God. I feel sick.

Into the can, the can.

I'd have to see a thing like this so
early in the morning. Now, look, being

nasty with her is not going to help.
What will help is if a doctor tells her

that she's got to stop drinking.

How will a doctor know that? She ain't
going to go in there and admit to no

doctor that she sops up booze like a
sponge.

I'll tell her when I make an appointment
for her.

Murray, the only way a doctor can cure a
drunk is to sew up the lips.

hand straighten out the world, Lord.

So tell me, Doc, am I going to kick the
bucket?

Well, eventually.

But don't do it until I get the results
of your tests, or you'll never know what

you died of.

Well, let's see.

Do you have any allergies?

Only one.

Confession. God forgive me.

What allergies? Do you smoke?

Maybe a pack a day.

That's one pack too many.

How about alcohol? Do you drink?

Yeah, social.

Tell me, is it true all that stuff they
say about smoking?

Every word.

Do you drink every day?

Yeah, I guess.

Hey, listen, there's something I want to
ask you. Is it possible that my

appendix is growing back?

No, not possible.

How much do you drink a day?

You know, like everybody else, it
depends.

Maybe I have a couple of drinks a day.
Maybe three.

For my back.

Your back?

I forgot to tell you, I've got this back
problem. You know, it only acts up when

I'm aggravated. Do you get aggravated a
lot?

Do you know Archie Bunker?

No, I don't.

He's my other boss, see? And once in a
while I'll take a drink at work because

he gives me such a pain in the... back.

Well, you are a little run down.

And I'd like you to stop drinking for a
while.

I want you to take vitamins.

I'm going to give you some free samples.

I don't think you'll have any trouble
giving up alcohol.

No, listen, I can take it or leave it.

Just consider that last night you had
your last drink for a while. Whatever

say, Doc.

Here's your vitamins. And for your
aggravation at work, here's a

that will relax you and you won't even
miss

alcohol.

Thanks.

What is this stuff?

Just a mild tranquilizer. It's called
Valium.

Look, Sam, your driver made two bread
deliveries.

She did?

Well, look, Sam, she called you twice
because she was... Well, let me tell

it was a mistake, okay?

All right, I'll hold on.

Don't tell Archie about this.

Oh, don't worry.

You know, I don't understand it. I ain't
seen her take a drink all week.

Murray, we gotta settle something.

Do you want red horse radish or white?

Uh, I don't care, Veronica.

Well, somebody gotta care.

Well, all right, um, make it the red,
okay?

Okay.

Hello? Sam?

Sam? Ah, hung up.

We also got three deliveries from the
dairy.

Have you noticed? She looks funny.

Did you see that movie where everybody
comes out of their graves at midnight

walks around like this?

Yes, I saw that movie.

Veronica, what are you doing?

Huh? What are you doing?

Oh, Murray, we gotta decide.

For the prime rib, what do you think?

Red horseradish or white?

Well, I thought we settled that.

Oh, yeah.

What did we decide?

Red or white?

Veronica, are you all right?

Sure.

I'm fine.

Hey, Murray.

Yeah? It's Sam.

He says he'll take back the extra bread
and only charge us half. Oh, he will,

will he? Well, I'll talk to that gunner.

Veronica, choose whatever one you want.

Okay?

Okay.

You're supposed to take so many?

Yes.

Doctor said I should take one whenever I
get aggravated. You've been aggravated

four times in the last hour. That's a
lot of pills.

I only took one.

You must be counting in Spanish.

Even in Eskimo, that's too many.

You're crazy.

And loco.

thing we're going through here. Well, it
could have been worse. It could have

been a tragedy.

Thank the Lord it wasn't.

Well, I'm glad you care about Veronica.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

I was thinking about me, you know.

I was nearly killed coming here with
Jose in that 58 Chevy.

What do you mean? I suppose you wouldn't
give a damn about that, huh?

Don't be looking at us, huh, lady? Read
your magazine.

They're so depressed in hospitals.

They're depressed.

That's why so many people die in
hospitals. They get the blues. They turn

faces to the walls, and then it's
curtain. Did you ever think of that?

Not until now.

It's all your fault, you know. What?

Sending her to that drug pusher.

Jose told me all about them pills she's
been popping there, which she got from

that sore balls of yours.

Look, if he did give them to her, he
just gave them to help her.

Some kind of help.

That we'd have got that kind of help in
World War II. You and me would be

talking enjoyment today.

You, not me.

Hello?

Listen, Arch, you've got to change your
whole attitude about Veronica. You've

got to stop pressuring her. Stop
embarrassing her. You've got to start

for her. What do you want me to do? Run
out and buy a Hallmark card?

Not a bad idea, wise guy.

All we've got to do is get her off the
booze.

How do you know she's going to want to
get off the booze when she wakes up in

there? She's going to be damn glad she's
alive.

I wish I was dead.

Keep chasing your tranquilizers with
alcohol and you will be.

But the doctor gave me them pills.

I'm sorry about that.

But a lot of doctors don't know any
better.

You don't cure alcoholism with Valium.

Hey, I'm not an alcoholic.

Well, why did you wash the pills down
with wine?

Because the water in creams is bad.

All right, look, it was an accident and
it won't happen again. I'm going to

throw away the damn pills.

And the booze?

Booze ain't my problem.

Miss Rooney, you OD'd on drugs and
alcohol.

You ended up here having your stomach
pumped.

Now, how does that sound to you, huh?

Okay, okay. Look, I'll never take
another drink as long as I live.

I promise.

Well, just in case you have any trouble
keeping that promise, why don't you call

this number?

Alcoholics Anonymous? Oh, come on,
you've got to be kidding.

Now, what do I want to talk to a bunch
of drunks for? I'm not an alcoholic.

Hey, I get up every morning and I go to
work.

I have never been fired from a job. I
pay my bills. Does that sound like an

alcoholic?

A woman who has never missed a day's
work?

You're not at work today.

Hey, you know, I don't have to listen to
this.

Why don't you just get out of here?
Leave me alone.

Where's my clothes?

Where are they?

The nurse will get your clothes.

Come on, Miss Rooney. Come on, lie down
again.

You'll be okay.

Give it about 20 minutes. You'll be
okay.

Thanks for nothing.

Says here it's made in Ohio.

This could be the last thing on wheels
that ain't manufactured by the Japs.

Makes you think about America.

Want to ride in it?

Leave me alone.

I'm only trying to pass the time.

Oh, Doc.

Dr. Walsh, is she going to be all right?

Not unless she quits drinking. I mean
completely.

And she shouldn't be given that Valium.

That's Murray's fault. He got her them
drugs.

Look, Doc. All I do is call my doctor.

Yeah, he made his doctor give her that
Valium.

If she wasn't on it longer, she'd have
had two habits to kick. See that? A do

-gooder always makes everything twice as
bad.

Listen, Doctor, we're like family to
Veronica. Now, she's not going to have

more problems.

We'll get her off the pills, and we'll
get her off that booze. Oh, count me

not me. I ain't got time to be no nice
maid, Murray, and neither have you.

You must be Archie Bunker.

Yeah, how'd you guess?

Miss Rooney mentioned you.

Is it all right for me to go and see
her?

Oh, sure. Go ahead. Thank you. It's for
yourself.

My partner there.

One of them there fuzzy liberals, you
know what I mean? Very naive about human

affairs. He ain't gonna get that woman
to stop drinking. Of course, she's

so much fun drinking.

She's not having fun.

She's an alcoholic, and that's a
disease.

Until she admits she has it, there's not
much hope for her recovery.

How the hell do you get a drunk to admit
that?

It's rough.

Lots of them lose their families, their
jobs, everything.

Some of them even have to go to jail
before they can admit it.

It's called hitting bottom.

Well, I hate to tell you, Doc, but
bottom is what that woman is going to be

on if she takes one more drink at my
place.

Now, I guess I seem like a mean guy.

Yeah, you do.

But you might also be Veronica Rooney's
best friend.

I think I am.

You don't have to listen to me.

Talk to her.

Hey, Jose.

Want me to heat up the soup? It'll warm
the cockles of your heart before you go

out in the cold.

No, my cockles is okay.

It's my ears that get freezed.

Oh, boy.

It is cold out there. Cold.

Hey, listen.

Why don't you go to the storeroom, bring
in a bottle of bourbon. I'll heat up

some water and make us a hot toddy, huh?

What?

Come on, go get the bottle. What are you
waiting for?

Come on, do what I say. Get it.

Hey, you don't want me to do that.

You ain't had a drink in a week.

Hey, what the hell business is that of
yours?

I'm telling you, just go get it, huh?

Come on, do it. Do what I say. Vamos,
huh?

Okay. Go.

And don't go waving that bottle all over
the bar, huh?

You know, I'm feeling a lot better about
this nuclear alarms race, huh?

With Ronnie in the saddle, I think we're
going to win it.

Now, how are we finally going to know
when we've won?

Well, naturally, we can't know that
until after we use them weapons.

Hey. Yeah, I thought I'd make myself a
little hot toddy.

Freezing outside.

You want to join me?

No, I ain't drinking with you, and you
ain't gonna do no more drinking in here.

Just take your bottle and get out.
You're fired.

Fired? For what?

I don't want a drunk working for me.

What are you talking about?

I ain't had a drink in a week.

Seven days, 168 hours. Does that sound
like a drunk?

You know, it's no picnic around here.

If I want to have a couple of drinks,
you know, just to unwind, that's my

business.

I got a right.

Yeah, you got a right.

Yeah. And I got a right to fire you.

You can't fire me. I've never been fired
from a job in my whole life.

Up to now.

Come on, let's cut the chat, huh?

Get all your stuff together, get your
bottle, and shove off.

Oh, come on, this is ridiculous. Hey, I
ain't kidding, lady.

And just in case they find you laying in
the gutter someplace, you better have a

note inside your purse with somebody's
name and telephone number on it.

You can put mine if you want.

Yeah.

My name is Veronica Rooney, and I'm...
I'm an alcoholic.

Don't cry, Veronica.

No, no, no, don't cry.

Don't cry, huh?

I ain't gonna holler at you no more.

Don't cry.

Well, let me get to this room.

I use alcoholics there.

Well, the party who was just talking to
you just had to tie your shoe.

She's coming up now.

Hang on.

Archie, I want that drink so bad. I
don't know what to do.

You was doing this.

Yeah, keep on doing this.

Like I was saying, this is Veronica
Rooney,

and I'm an alcoholic.
