I might not have been looking closely enough, but did he drop it on purpose? I thought he fumbled and dropped it by accident.

**dropzone.** Charlie dropped the heroin in the fire on purpose, if somewhat reluctantly. Consider: if it wasn’t on purpose, the natural reaction would be to try to get it out the fire imediately after he dropped it.

**Otto.** Good point about Charlie the Moth vs. his brother the Butterfly-- but I disagree it was a ham-fisted analogy.

**Larry Mudd**. All good points. Thanks for sharing.
