Is this-- Am I supposed to say something?

Look, I really just want to... I mean, I was kind of occupied. [Drinking is a legitimate occupation, right? These days, it's about the only kind he's got.] I have nothing, I mean nothing to say.

Have you seen the boys? I haven't seen my boys. I haven't seen much of anyone, not that I can remember. Mostly people just come and go, you know? Just drift along, like they're caught on some kind of current. Not even swimming, because the river's too-- the river's too...

No, I don't want to talk about that.

I told you, I don't have anything to say.
