    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Release prints were shipped to some theaters under the fake title "Water".
    • Goofs
      When Jerry is filling out his examination; he starts with his first name and then his last. However, on top of the examination, it clearly shows; Last, First, M.I. which is standard on most forms. This is likely a part of the character development to show he still has attention and focusing issues due to his addiction.
    • Quotes
      • Jerry Sunborne: Hi, my name is Jerry and I'm an addict. I've been clean for 89 days. My mind is clearer, and... I think it's getting better. Every day, a little bit. But I wanna talk about this dream I keep having. It always starts with me stealing silverware. Then I go sell it to this guy who I used to know who owned a catering service. Then with the money, I go to this place where I used to buy my drug of choice, and... he's not around. So I go to other spots, right, but for some reason, no one is around. All of Seattle is dry, and then I get that feeling... the dread... and I panic. And I start running, and it's raining, and it gets dark. And then I'm in my old apartment, and I'm thrashing right through it, looking for something I might have stashed away. And I think I'm having a seizure. And then I find a balloon hidden in my suitcase. So there I am... with a bag of junk in one hand, and the money for my next fix in the other... and I feel at total, utter peace. And I wake up. One day at a time. One day at a time. One day at a time. One day at a time. Thank you.

    FAQ1

    • The whole film seems very "theatrical", lots of talking and nothing happens - is it based on a book or a play?
