" LOLA I know what you mean. Whenever I help Marie in some way, it makes me feel good. DOC Yah. (LOLA takes her cup to DOC and he washes it) Yes, but this is a lot different, Baby. When I go out to help some poor drunk, I have to give him courage—to stay sober like I’ve stayed sober. Most alcoholics are disappointed men.… They need courage … LOLA You weren’t ever disappointed, were you, Daddy? DOC (After another evasive pause) The important thing is to forget the past and live for the present. And stay sober doing it. "
