The Drunk and His Pal on the Stairs


That scene is hilarious from the moment he comes in, splits his bag of beer open on the floor and tells the kid when he wakes up from the commotion, "Have a can of beer and go back to sleep," to him being upset with his friend for not sharing any of the bourbon he pulled out of the river the last time it flooded... "I didn't see none of it; not even a quart, you stingy, old nincompoop."... Silly, but nice, comic relief.

Has the great line: 'Look, bud, when you tell a woman that's over 40 that she's beautiful, you ain't a liar, you're a philanthrofiss [sic].'
