**Ted Hanover:**  
[reading] Come out and relax on a farm, music, dancing, home cooking. Open holidays only. [skeptical] Open holiday’s only? Say, how many of them are there?

**Jim Hardy:**  
[excited] About 15. That gives me 350 days to kick around in!

**Ted Hanover:**  
[laughing] You would think of that!

Well, to begin with, nobody, and I mean nobody, can talk a junkie out of using. You can talk to 'em for years but sooner or later they’re gonna get ahold of something. Maybe it’s not dope. Maybe it’s booze, maybe it’s glue, maybe it’s gasoline. Maybe it’s a gunshot to the head. But something. Something to relieve the pressures of their everyday life, like having to tie their shoes.
