Dr. West & Marshall
-Morning, Marshall.
-Morning, doc
- So we're discharging you today, how are you feeling?
-Anxious.
-Anxiety?
-Well, anxious to get home, anxious to get back into the world. Nervous.
-Nervous? C'mon, Marshall, you're a big boy now. Sounding like a bit of a baby, you can do this. You found a sponsor yet?
-Um, not yet. But I mean, when I get back…
-Well, if you find one, you find one, if you don’t, you don’t.
-Well, yeah, I mean I godda start going to meetings first and... Wait, what? 
-Well, you don't absolutely have to go to meetings and
it's not like like a requirement that they fit into your schedule, we know you're a busy person.
-Yeah, well but
I thought variety was the most important thing
-So what else are you thinking?
-Um, well,
I know I godda start practising the steps, and I mean learning them, and start being able to apply them.
-Steps?
-Yeah, steps.
-There's a lot of them, aren't there?
-Well,
twelve.
-Christ, I don't even know them all.
-Really?
-Anything else?
-Um, well, I mean the only other question I have was like, what do I do if I find myself in a situation where maybe somebody is drinking around me or something like that and I get tempted to?
-Take a drink.
-What?
-Take a drink and y'know, take the edge off.
-Take the edge off? Man, if I ever take a drink I already know what that's gonna lead me to.
-What, you mean these?*shakes pills*
-Man, what the fuck!?
-Marhsall, what's the matter, darling? Having some doubts already? Marshall,
you can't leave me, you'll never leave me, Marshall. We'll always be together, Marshall. Marshall...? Marshall!?
-No, fuck you man. No, fuck you, fuck you man, fuck you. No, no, no!

*Sounds the alarm*
