Hear, hear!

It took me a while to understand the point of the quote in that scene. Endurance. Endurance is more important than truth. Of course it is. You would never be able to get to truth without the endurance one would need to plod through the muck and mire of indifference.

Without endurance there is no hope. Without endurance there are no drunkards.

Damn, I miss that movie (Barfly, 1987). It was up all the time on YouTube, then someone NARC'd and it got taken down. I think I'm a do a deep dive on YouTube to see if I can find it. Maybe some brave drunken soul uploaded it again.

Nope. Still gone. And worse - YouTube has ads when you search "Barfly" for you to buy the movie. That means they will take down any video that gets put up now.

The truth itself is unendurable.

It's time to get ready to fight for freedom. That's your endurance. It's not going to be fun. That's why I'm drinking to numb what's coming down. Cheers!

I'm pretty sure we found our copy of Barfly at a flea market or some place similar several years back.

I'm sure you can buy a copy at Amazon for a pittance. Since it was pulled off Youtube it must still be in print.
