The Little Things


"I said, I like the little things...the way a glass feels in your hand, a good glass, thick, with a heavy base." - - "I love the sound an ice cube makes when you drop it from just the right height." - - "Too high and it'll chip when you drop it...chip the ice and it'll melt too fast in the scotch." - - "Good scotch sits in a charcoal barrel for 12 years. Very good scotch gets smoked for 29 years. Johnny Walker Blue...is 60 year old scotch."

"I'm an alcoholic, I don't have one drink. I don't understand people who have one drink. I don't understand people who leave half a glass of wine on the table. I don't understand people who say they've had enough. How can you have enough of feeling like this? How can you not want to feel like this longer? My brain works differently."

Can you name that show? This monologue is from one of my favorite episodes. I never had an inkling of what an alcoholic felt or thought like till I heard this wonderful actor deliver the above lines.
