George: I’m numb enough and I don’t mean by liquor, though maybe that’s been part of the process - a gradual, over-the-years going to sleep of the brain cells- I’m numbed enough, now, to be able to take you when we’re alone. I don’t listen to you or when I do listen to you, I sift everything, I bring everything down to reflex response, so I don’t really hear you, which is the only way to manage it.
