Read our Review of Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans
(telling Terence about his father's alcohol problem) "I try to be a good wife to him Terrence. I do, but you know I got a limit too. You know, he's got a drinking problem -- he says he's got a drinking and he wants to do something about it -- that's good. You know he's been down this road before and it didn't take now he wants to try it again. Good! I say to him why don't you just stick to beer like I do but he says he can't do that."

Yeah, that's right. It cost me $55 a pair. You think I want to get all of this brown water and shit all over them. That don't come out."
