Look, Jack.

If you find that this strategy

of phoning up your Admiral friend

is helping you to stay faithful to your wife,

then it's not weird.

But you have to start to admit

you are an alcoholic.

- Functional.

- Let's stop it.

No, l...

I want to get back out there

and lock crotch.

You got to help me, Doc.

I'm afraid.

I want to feel like a man again, you know?

Jack, I've known you a long time.

But did you just ask me

to give you permission

to cheat on your wife?

Yeah.

Good to see you again.

How are you doing?

I'm okay.

How are you?

Hey, you look a little worse for wear.

Yeah, well, I haven't been sleeping much.

What's going on?

Let's all sit down

and talk.

Henry, you have had a damn tough year.

We are all here, all of us,

because we care about you.

You have a drug problem.

- I got it, James.

- Excuse me, I'm speaking here.

I was addicted to anger.

And you helped me beat it.

Let us help you beat this.

It's obvious that you have been, Henry,

self-medicating for some time.

Okay...

Is this...

Is this an intervention?

It's an opportunity.

In the first place,

you were my wife's doctor, not mine.

And in the second place,

I'm not some f***ing drug addict

on Wilshire Boulevard, all right?

I'm a doctor.

And let me...

Diana, did you actually

send me a written invitation

two weeks ago to my own intervention?

- Opportunity.

- You say that one more time,

I'm going to throw

a f***ing crab cake in your face.

We've arranged a room at a rehab

just north of Oxnard.

Are you shitting me?

He wants to send me to Oxnard.

Look, let me make it clear to you, okay?

My wife died, you f***ing a**holes.

We love you, son.

And it's a b*tch seeing you like this.

Well, then don't look, Dad.

Look, l...

We've...

We've written a letter.

We've all signed it.

All right.

Jeremy will read it.

I don't really want to read it

anymore, actually.

Okay.

I'll read it.

"Dear Henry, help..."

My wife killed herself.

She had a car accident.

No, Dad.

That's what I told you.

Jesus Chr...

Whoa.

So, I'm going to go out to my car,

I'm going to take a big hit

from a self-medicating joint,

and then I'm going

to Kentucky Fried Chicken

'cause it's finger-f***ing-licking good.

"Cherokee" is from the word "Muscogee."

Cherokee means

"speakers of another language."

Does anybody know

how the Cherokees lived?

What sort of people were they?

Were they warriors?

Where do you think you're going?

Jemma. I need you to go

back to your seat.

Jemma, go back to your seat now.

A f***ing intervention?

Who the f*** are they to intervene?

Who the f*** are they to point the finger?

- Do you think I have a problem?
