In this episode: Bailey Salinger (4), Sarah Reeves (2)
So, do you have a plan? I mean, is there, like, some sort of treatment or something?
Yeah. AA. I'm gonna go to my first meeting tonight.
That sounds good.
I guess I better practice. "Hello, my name is Bailey Salinger, and I am an alcoholic."
Bailey, um, it's Alcoholics Anonymous. You're not supposed to give your last name.
Oh. Well, then, it's a good thing I practiced.
[about his AA meetings and the man who killed their parents] They're all the same. Everybody sits around and talks about how you have to believe in a higher power. You have to surrender yourself to God. It's written in the first couple of steps, and when has God ever taken care of us? We're sitting here without Mom and Dad! Come on! Walter Alcott is living proof that there's no way there's a God.
You have to go to AA, Bailey. You have to.
And say that I believe in stuff that I don't? Lie? No, I don't want to do that. I'm sick of lying, Sarah, so no.
No! No, Listen to me, okay? I'm here, and I'm here with you because you promised me you were going to get help.
I tried!
So try again, okay? This isn't optional! Look, you don't have a choice here. You have a disease, and you need to do whatever it takes to get well, okay? So skip the God part, do the rest!
No, it doesn't work that way, dammit! Don't you think that I wanted AA to be it? I know there's something wrong with me, and if I could believe that there was really someone who would protect me and help me not want to drink 24 hours every stupid day, don't you think... Sarah, don't you think that I would want that?
Bailey?
No. Don't talk to me.
You two know each other?
My parents are dead because of him.
