*Jack Twist is at the bar, several empty bottles of beer surrounding him and obviously drunk. He looks around at the general crowd, clears his throat and says in a slurred voice

A man sidles up to the bar, sliding onto the stool next to Jack's. He doesn't smile, but his face is amiable, and there is a twinkle in his eye as he glances over all the empty bottles. He sets his hand on Jack's shoulder in a friendly way. "Why, sir, I certainly couldn't deny another bottle of this life-giving elixir to a man so akin to myself. Indeed, I've surprised myself in taking so long to discover this delightful place." He gestures broadly across the bar. Then, he pulls a few coins from his pocket and beckons for the bartender. To Jack: "Now. What'll it be, sir?"
"A fine choice." He slaps down a few more coins and orders a brandy for himself. He hands the whiskey to Jack, then holds up his own glass. "A toast, perhaps? To obscene drunkenness, to hopelessness, to a steady stream of alcohol throughout our lives, eh?" He smiles, but it does not reach his eyes; there is an air of genuine dismay to the man, despite his bravado. He gulps down some brandy. "Now. Forgive my impolite manner--I have yet to introduce myself. I am Sydney Carton. And who are you?"
Typist: He's one of my favorite characters ever. :D I really hope I can do him justice.
I'd be happy to lend you some money, but I'm afraid my pockets have more holes than coins. Not that I'd be pleasant drinking company. I was thrown out of the monastery for being a bad drinker.
It's a bit early for a drink-- and a bit late, as well, judging by the look of you. I'll buy you a brandy another day-- and for that matter, I'll pay your tab if you need it-- but I don't think you ought to be doing anything other than sleeping this off.
