Sera Don't you like me, Ben? Ben Sera... what you don't understand is - no, see, no. You can never, never ask me to stop drinking. Do you understand? Sera I do. I really do. Ben Sanderson I don't know if I started drinking 'cause my wife left me or my wife left me 'cause I started drinking, but **** it anyway. Ben Sanderson We both know that I'm a drunk. And I know you are a hooker. I hope you understand that I am a person who is totally at ease with that. Which is not to say that I'm indifferent or I don't care, I do.
