Scene: In a dark church basement

William "Buffalo Bill" Wilson: It puts the dollar in the tin. It does this whenever it is told.

Prospect Patti: Mister... my lawyer will file suit. Whatever religion you're pushin' on me, he'll fight it.

William "Buffalo Bill" Wilson: It puts the dollar in the tin or else it makes amends again.

[to his sponsee, Precious]
William "Buffalo Bill" Wilson: Yes, it will, Precious, won't it? It will make amends!

Prospect Patti: Okay... okay... okay. Mister, if you let me go, I won't - I won't relapse I promise. See, my probation officer is a real important woman... I guess you already know that.

William "Buffalo Bill" Wilson: Now it places the dollar in the basket.

Prospect Patti: Please! Please I wanna practice harm reduction! I wanna go moderate, please!

William "Buffalo Bill" Wilson: It places the dollar in the basket.

Prospect Patti: I wanna see my attorney! Please I wanna see my...

William "Buffalo Bill" Wilson: Put the fucking dollar in the basket!

Dr. Bob: First principles [first things first], Clarice. Simplicity [keep it simple, stupid]. Read the Big Book. Of each particular thing ask: what is it in itself? What is its nature [character defects]? What does he do, this alcoholic you seek [to convert]?

Clarice: He drinks liquor...

Dr. Bob: No. That is incidental [bottles are only a symptom]. What is the first and principal thing he does [the number one offender]? What needs does he serve by drinking?

Clarice: Anger, um, social acceptance, and, huh, sexual frustrations, sir...

Dr. Bob: No! He resents. That is his nature [self centeredness]. And how do we begin to resent, Clarice? Do we seek out things to resent? Make an effort to answer now.

Clarice: No. We just...

Dr. Bob: No. We begin by resenting what we see every day. Don't you feel eyes [and my hands] moving over your body, Clarice? And don't your eyes seek out the things you resent?

Most of the rooms I attended were pretty clear that newcomers need not contribute. I'm assuming now that attitudes about donations would change as one gets deeper into it. Frankly, the groups didn't seem to care much about us "outsiders" as they were apparently following through with some loosely scripted, internal show and tell power struggle. They seem to lose interest with those who come in without piss, vinegar and bad arguments. I guess that takes the fun out of their gaming for easy targets.

I did appreciate the coffee though and somebody has to pay for that.
