Why Stop Now Page #3

They let you smoke in rehab.

You can drink all

the decaf coffee you want.

- Decaf? Ugh.

I hate decaf.

People clean up after you.

It's basically like

living with me.

I heard the food sucks.

- No, this place

is really nice.

Look at that.

They got a lot of trees

and grass,

and trees create oxygen,

and that's good for you.

You should be

breathing oxygen for a while.

It would be

a nice change for you.

- I'm not gonna be out here,

sweetie.

I'm gonna be in there.

Look, there's a deck up there.

You can make

some nice little friends.

I think this place

is really nice.

- Ah, "nice."

A really nice prison.

Here, take this.

- Eli?

- Yeah.

I don't think I can do this.

- Yeah, but-

- No, sweetie.

I don't know if I'm ready.

- Yeah, right.

You're going.

I don't care if I have

to drag you in there.

You're going, come on.

- What are you doing?

I'm dragging you inside.

- Eli, stop it!

This isn't funny!

- Nope, not joking.

Come on.

- Let go!

- Okay.

- What the hell

is wrong with you?

- I told you, if you won't go

on your own,

I will drag you inside.

I was about to drag you inside.

You're crazy.

- Oh, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, I'm crazy.

I'm crazy,

not the 45-year-old drug addict

who refuses

to get her sh*t together.

No, me, I'm crazy.

- My problem is not

as big as you think.

Oh, no?

You were missing

for 24 hours straight, okay?

We went looking for you all day.

Your daughter thought you

had killed yourself, okay?

She's nine years old,

and she was hysterical.

- I know.

- Okay, you remember that?

- Yes, I do remember.

Thank you for reminding me.

No problem.

Mom.

Please don't fight me on this,

okay?

If not for me...or you...

do it for Nicole.

Okay, good.

You need some help

with your bags or something?

No, I've got it.

- All right, come on.

Good.

Give me your hand.

Okay, all right, good.

See?

It's not that hard.

Left, right.

Left, right.

Very good, you're doing so well.

Come on.

Okay, come on.

There's some nice people

for you to be friends with.

Hi, this is my mom, Penny.

Okay.

They didn't seem interested.

- You never heard

of ana-nom-anymity?

In you go.

In you go.

Hi.

Come on.

So we are, uh-

okay, all right.

Can I help you?

Checking in.

- Fill this out.

Fill that up.

You should be really proud

of your son.

It takes a lot of courage

to walk in that door.

' Mighty proud.

Wait outside for me, baby?

Okay.

No, I mean it, Eli.

Wait outside for me.

I'll come say good-bye, okay?

Yeah.

Hey.

Hi.

No, no.

I don't smoke.

Congratulations.

Stay.

J'J'

- It's not like I use drugs

every single day.

I just, you know, um-

sometimes when I get started

that I kind of find it
