INT. MEETING HALL.

         A 12-step recovery group. Addicts, including Joey
         Pardella, sit in a semi-circle.

                                 VICKIE
                     Hi, my name is Vickie, and I'm an addict.

                                 HANK
                     Hi, my name is Hank, and uh, I'm an addict.

                                 JOEY
                                 (smoking)
                     Uh, my name's Joey but, uh, I'm not an addict.

         Joey takes a drag. The group reacts indignantly.

                                 JOEY
                     Nono, really, really, listen, listen to this.
                     I got in trouble with my computer, right,
                     okay, and my lawyer told the judge that I'm an
                     addict, but I'm not addicted to my computer!
                     No really, really,

         Joey takes another drag.

                                 JOEY
                     I'm not an addict. I'm not, I'm not.

         Joey downs his coffee.

                                 JOEY
                     Can I get some more coffee?
