— Don Birnam (Ray Milland)

3 You know, once I even got myself a gun and some bullets. I was gonna do it on my thirtieth birthday. Here are the bullets. The gun went for three quarts of whiskey. That other Don wanted us to have a drink first. He always wants us to have a drink first.

— Don Birnam (Ray Milland)

4 The leper is back. Hide your liquor.

— Don Birnam (Ray Milland)

7 Or it maybe Sunday. That's the worst. No liquor stores at all. And you guys wouldn't open a bar, not until one o'clock. Why? Why, Nat? -Because we gotta go to church once in a while. That's why. -Yeah, when a guy needs it most.

— Don Birnam (Ray Milland), Nat (Howard Da Silva)

8 See that guy over there? With him it's beetles. Come the night, he sees beetles crawling all over him. Has to be dark, though.
9 That's when you need it most, in the morning. Haven't you learned that yet? At night, this stuff's a drink. In the morning, it's medicine.
10 Where am I? What is this place? -This? This is the Hangover Plaza. -What hospital is this? -Alcoholic Ward.

— Don Birnam (Ray Milland)
