Being Charlie Page #6

- Hi.

- Thank you so much.

Yes, but Charlie is

getting out of inpatient.

You knew

about these dates, honey.

Yes, I know.

Thank you. Thank you.

I appreciate it.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

But i... you know,

there's a family group

at the new sober living house,

and I thought we should

be there for him. Hi.

- Don't do this to me. Hi.

- Do what?

If you want, I can arrange

for you to fly back.

Uh...

There you go, sir.

You want a burger?

- Yes.

- There you go.

- - Yes?

Hey, Drake.

I'm all packed,

so anything I need to sign,

or what?

Just a minute.

Hey, I wanted

to congratulate you

on moving forward

to the next phase

of your changes ahead

treatment program.

Thank you.

Now where are

those dotted lines, huh?

Hold on. Hold on, all right?

We gotta debrief.

It's part of our

discharge procedure.

Great. Debrief the sh*t

out of me.

Okay.

Do you have someone responsible

- to transport you to our sober living facility?

- Absolutely.

He's very responsible.

Fine.

If you'll just sign here,

and you're all set.

Okey-dokey.

Well, it's been real, Drake.

You have fun

holding down the fort, okay?

Oh, I will, Charlie, and

unless you're a speed reader,

I'm sure you missed the part

about fraternizing

with people from this facility

and how it applies

to when you leave here as well.

Yeah, shouldn't be a problem.

Good. Good, but just in case,

I went ahead

and let your sober living house

know about your...

Friendship with Eva.

I let her house know as well.

No, friendship during sobriety,

not a problem.

Romance, however...

tends to get in the way.

But, like you said, that...

Shouldn't be a problem,

should it?

Yeah, right.

Good luck.

So you're finally free.

How do you feel?

Actually, not that shitty.

Can't you just say good

like a normal person?

Normal people

don't move into halfway houses.

Let's get the f*** out of here!

An all-girls halfway house.

I think you might

be on to something.

- You're an idiot.

- What?

P*ssy island.

Dude, this is not

some slutty sorority, okay?

You don't just

fall asleep with a boner

and wake up with a girl

on top of it.

She knows you're coming?

- Yeah.

- You texted her?

Yeah, I told her I'd

come by right after I got out.

You told her you were

making a beeline here?

Ah, dude, so desperate.

- Stop.

- It's too eager.

Stop. Can you just wait

in the car, please?

Fine.

Remember, less is more.

- Hi.

- Can I help you?

Yeah, I'm just...

I'm looking for somebody.

- You Charlie?

- Yeah.

Eva will see you at a meeting.

- No, I just wanted to say hi.

- Have a great day.

Fat f***ing whale!

Hey!

You know, you shouldn't

talk about whales like that.
