Sometimes the only salvation Stephen finds in his meetings is in the form of the lukewarm crap coffee in a paper cup. He holds it in both hands, between his knees, and he listens to the same sob-story he’s heard a thousand times in this church basement. He knows it’s cynical of him, but they all hit the same note. Powerless, I was powerless…He zones out for a while, finishing the dregs of his coffee but not getting up for more. It would just draw attention to himself and how much his hands are shaking. When he’s asked if he wants to share he just shakes his head. He ain’t got any wisdom for these people. Despite the tattoo on his neck and all the times he’s offered himself up to God at rock bottom, begging and praying for help, the only one that can help him is himself

He knows she’ll do it anyway, with or without him, so he doesn’t feed her any bullshit lines. PERFECTION!! From a characterisation view point AND from a realism stand point. So true on all fronts.
