Hmm.

Wait, I, um...

I have some papers.

This is from

the parenting program.

Okay.

This one is from

the children's center.

Okay.

And...

And... and what?

Nice.

I'll suck your dick

if you give me the job I want.

The f*** you

looking at?

God, grant me the serenity

to accept things

I cannot change,

and the wisdom to know

the difference.

Tonight Dean will be reading

the preamble.

My name's Dean.

I'm an alcoholic

and an addict.

Hi, Dean.

Genesis Recovery

is a fellowship

of men and women

o share their experience,

strength, and hope

with each other,

that they may solve

their common problem

and help others to recover

from alcoholism

and drug addiction.

Is there anyone here tonight

that feels the need

to drink or use?

Go ahead, little sister.

Don't be shy.

Um, I'm Sherry.

I'm an addict.

Hi, Sherry.

Um, I've got

I got clean in prison,

and...

I feel like using so bad.

From the age of 16 to 22,

heroin was the love of my life.

I mean, I had a daughter,

and I never even

took care of her,

and I want

to take care of her,

but I got to...

stay clean,

so I'm just here

to stay clean and...

That's all I got.

Hey, Sherry.

Hey.

Listen, don't worry

about your problems.

I mean,

you're not alone.

Like, me, I could

completely relate

to what you

were saying,

because I come

from a dysfunctional,

alcoholic family.

And drugs were part

of my entire teenage life.

When I was growing up,

I knew we weren't supposed

to be doing drugs,

but everyone

was doing them anyway,

so I just--

I just fell into that, you know?

She's not hearing you,

friend.

She's got too much

on her mind.

Do you need

a ride home?

Okay, thanks.

He's right, Andy.

I'm sorry.

I'll catch up with you

tomorrow.

Sherry, did you ever

work at Tony Martino's joint,

the Paradise?

I used to cook speed

in a warehouse

over at South Kearny.

Tony was

one of my partners.

What's your name again?

Dean Walker.

Dean Walker?

I don't know you.

Man, I was, like, 16

when I worked there, I think.

Tony named me Lolita.

That was my stage name

because I was so young, Lolita.

I had really long hair.

Yeah, I remember.

You do?

You know

they closed that place down.

Why,

too many underage girls?

No,

it all came down

when Richardson

got into office.

Tony lost all his juice.

Where's he at, anyways?

Greenhaven.

He got busted making a big move

in the city last year.

They gave him 15 to life.

Damn, that's deep.

He probably deserved it,

though, right?

Ugh!

Do you know Richie Parks?

Richie Parks.

No, I don't know him.

Who's that?

He's another lowlife scumbag.

He's also my baby's daddy.

He broke out a while ago.

I don't know
