Charles, uh...I was just gonna have a drink, Charles. With what everything that's happened, you could probably use one as much as me.
My son could lose his leg because of your drinking.
It was an accident, Charles. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Isaiah, what's happened to you?
What's happened? I lost my son, my wife. Grace sent me on my way. Says she don't want me near her or the children.
Why?
Because I drink. I drink! I can't find whiskey, I drink cough remedies. I drink.
Then why in God's name don't you stop?
Because I can't. Don't you understand that? I can't!
All I understand is that your drinking cost you your family and almost cost me my son's life. [walks away] Go away, Isaiah. I don't want you near me or my family again.
