"What do you do?" "I drink"

Post by Fabricsoftner »

This line has appeared in a number of films/and or books.

The most immediate examples I can think of are Barfly (1987):

Ham on Rye (1982)

"We walked down to my locker. I opened it and handed him a
paper bag.
"Take a hit..."
It was a bottle of port. Becker took a hit, then I took one.
"You always keep one of these in your locker?" he asked.
"I try to."
"Listen, tonight's my night off. Why don't you come meet some
of my friends?"
"People don't do me much good."
"These are different people."
"Yeah? Where at? Your place?"
"No. Here, I'll write down the address . . ." He began writing
on a piece of paper.
"Listen, Becker, what do these people do?"
"Drink," said Becker. I put the slip into my pocket . . "


And "Wake in Fright": (1971)

Approx 1:50: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHAIfLXjYVQ
