DON
Nat, are you ever scared when you
wake up? So scared the sweat starts
out of you? No, not you. With you
it's simple. Your alarm clock goes
off and you open your eyes and brush
your teeth and read the Daily Mirror.
That's all. Do you ever lie in your
bed looking at the window? A little
daylight's coming through, and you
start wondering: is it getting
lighter, is it getting darker? Is it
dawn or dusk? That's a terrifying
problem, Nat. You hold your breath
and you pray that it's dusk, so you
can go out and get yourself some
more liquor. Because if it's dawn,
you're dead. The bars are closed and
the liquor stores don't open till
nine. You can't last till nine. Or
it might be Sunday. That's the worst.
No liquor stores at all, and you
guys wouldn't open a bar, not until
one o'clock. Why? Why, Nat?
NAT
Because we got to go to church once
in a while. That's why.
