He takes the bottle, and before he sits down he takes out two glasses. It's not early enough in the day to drink (or, well, it definitely is, but he doesn't think so) but it's too early to drink straight from the bottle.]
Tired. Sick. What else is new, huh? [He gives Gene a sharp nod, and if he hasn't sat down yet he also nods at the chair across the table from him] How about you?
