Doc Delaney, one year.
Elmo.
It's a long time between drinks.
Pearl.
Three years ago, I wouldn't have
the wind to do this.
Henrietta.
I don't know...
I don't know what to say,
except I thank God and
all my friends here who've helped me.
Doc.
- I never thought I'd make it.
- Neither did I.
- Hi there.
- Hello.
I bet I know who you're writing to.
I got a real long one from him today.
Four pages.
- Was it as interesting as usual?
- Especially interesting.
You hear that, Daddy?
Doc, she got a letter from Bruce.
- Bruce?
- As if you didn't know who that was.
You hear that, Marie?
The boy she's engaged to.
- The young man back home.
- We're not exactly engaged.
I just got my eye on him. You sound
tired, Doc. What'd you see tonight?
Oh, we didn't go to a movie. We...
We went to see some friends.
- Night.
- I'll be up in a minute, Doc.
Did Bruce get his raise?
expenses and he gets to fly everywhere.
Oh, that's wonderful.
Well, I guess you're busy.
- Night, Marie.
- Good night, Mrs Delaney.
helps with letter writing.
Marie should really marry that fella.
He makes $300 a month
and he gets to fly every place.
Thought she wants to get an education.
Drawing pictures?
That's what she studies the most of.
Honey, do me a favour. I don't want
Marie to know about me being in AA.
But that's the first thing the AAs
teach you, to admit you're an alcoholic.
I'll tell everybody
when I'm more sure of myself.
You certainly ought to be sure
after tonight. I was so proud of you.
You looked so nice standing up there
- This too much air?
- Fine.
I'm too tired to wash my face tonight.
Did you?
She must spend a fortune
on bath powders and salts.
That bathroom smells like a lilac factory.
Oh, yeah. I like it.
I dreamt about Little Sheba again
last night, Doc.
- You did?
- Yes.
It was just as real.
I put her on a leash to take her
downtown to do some shopping.
Everybody on the street
turned around to look at her.
I was so proud.
Then we started to walk.
And the blocks started going by so fast,
poor Little Sheba
couldn't keep up with me.
Suddenly, I looked around
and she was gone.
Ain't that funny?
I looked everywhere for her,
but I couldn't find her.
I stood there, feeling kind of afraid.
Do you suppose that means anything?
- Daddy? Are you asleep?
- Dreams are funny.
Do you suppose it means
Little Sheba's gonna come back?
I don't know, baby.
I miss her so.
She was such a cute little puppy.
- Wasn't she cute?
- Yes, she was cute.
Remember how white and fluffy
she used to be after I gave her a bath?
