On phone with sponsor.
3 Spencer: One day at a time, man. Congratulations. Welcome to the real world, I'm glad you
made it.
24 Nic: I don't want to live in the real world. I'm so sick of living in the real world.
25 Spencer: Bullshit. That's your disease talking, man. Wanting to isolate you, so it can kill you.
26 Nic: I don't feel like I have a disease, Spencer. This is not like fucking cancer. This is my
fucking choice. I put myself here.
27 Spencer: Yeah you did. You did put yourself here. Now are you going to let me talk? Or what?
OK. You're a writer, right? So write. You're good at it. This is your day... Once you get high
though, you lose everything. So you've gotta keep choosing the right way.
