This one is for you, Claire.

You gave me Roger's.

Oh, why have I got
feet for hands?

I thought you do

Ben, you haven't

I-I just finished every

All you did was say

Yeah.
Isn't it ironic?

No.

You and Alanis Morissette

This dinner, in large part,

Oh, I don't doodle.
I do portraitures.

of points on my player's card.

So, what,
you've been going

CLAIRE: He's made
some money lately.

He can do whatever the f*ck
he wants with it.

I'm just trying to be
the voice of reason
over here,

'cause every time you have
a good thing going,

you have to sabotage it.

Shouldn't be
giving your money

Oh, okay.

Well, by the way,
I win sometimes too, so...

Well, sure,
you win sometimes.

They're gonna
let you win sometimes

so you'll keep playing

Also, you know,

going to a casino, that's
just like going to a bar.

What are you talking about?

Well, there's free booze
everywhere.

What bar do you know
that gives away free booze?

And by the way, you know what?
It's not exactly free.

You still gotta tip
a couple chips.

Well, it's not
the casino chips
I'm worried about, okay?

It's your sobriety chip,

be careful with that.

Okay, great.

I make a nice meal,

You've been sketching me?[CHUCKLES] Yeah.

Anyway, they're giving me
an award tomorrow at school,

and they wanted
to give you an award too.

Want to give me an award?Mm-hmm.

Why?

Well, normally the award
just goes to the artist,

not the subject

But after my professor
saw my portraiture of you,

he wanted
to give you an award.

morning or...

sister is organizing
the event,

all about me.

Wait, how do you know

they also gave

If she gets an award,
so should I.

Oh, yeah, I think Mona Lisa
kept her trophies
right next to da Vinci's.

All right, I get it.

For a while, I thought
it was ridiculous too.

But Phelpsy said
it was for a good cause.

Wait, you call him
Phelpsy?

Yeah, yeah. He called me
a couple of times today.

That guy is a nutter.

Anyway, I know it's silly.

But being honored
and, you know,

being first-row fancy again,

it's kind of pumped up
my ego.

treat me at the casino.

but that doesn't define him.

I've got an extra seat
for you, Loudermilk.

For Loudermilk?
What about me?

Hmm, what?

Well, it's because
of my drawing

that all of this
is happening,

so shouldn't I get some
of the big-sh*t perks?

Aw, sorry.
I was only given
a plus-one.

And Loudermilk's been

miserable slump recently,

more ego-stroking praise.

And I do appreciate
the gesture behind this.

It was well-meaning.

But giving me an award

just for being disabled is

unfortunately designed
only to make you feel good...

[AUDIENCE MURMURING]

While it makes me feel
pretty lousy.

Because it tells me how low
your expectations are for me.

Like I should get an award

for brushing my teeth
or something with these arms.

Well, something I used to do
about a dozen times a day

to keep the smell
of booze off my breath.

[LAUGHTER]

No, not a joke.

I'm an alcoholic.

[AUDIENCE MURMURING]

I've been sober
for a little while now.

But I spent a large part
of my life escaping with booze

and a whole lot more.

And there's nothing heroic
about that.

But tonight?

This is just inspiration p*rn.

[AUDIENCE MURMURING]

Stella Young,
an Australian activist,
coined that phrase.

Yeah, p*rn.

Because it's all about
objectifying

people like me and her so that
you can say to each other,

"Oh, my life might suck,
but it could be worse.

"Just look at the bloke
with short arms."

But I'm just as much
to blame as you.

So I feel uncomfortable too.

I fooled myself into believing
that I deserved this award
for my music.

And the truth is,
I'm a good drummer.

But I'm not a great one.

So I'm sorry.

But I can't accept
your Bravie award.

[AUDIENCE MURMURING]

I know one thing, though.

The next guy coming onstage
definitely deserves it.

Dave.

[AUDIENCE WHISPERING]

[APPLAUSE]

Thank you so much, Roger.

Wow.

How's that for
raw honesty, huh?

Amazing.

[APPLAUSE]

So...

It's inspired me
to be honest too.

I didn't really
save those kids
from the burning school.

[AUDIENCE MURMURING]

I guess I did, but...

I also set the fire.

[AUDIENCE GASPS]

I know. It's bad.

But I did it to be a hero.

[AUDIENCE MURMURING]

I guess that should take away
some of the points.

f*ck!

I should've accepted
that award.

Hey.

[SIGHS]
There you are.

Hey.

Where's Loudermilk?

Downstairs talking music
with Arielle Phelps.

Mm.

You know,

I'm sorry if I came across
as patronizing when I drew you

and gave you wings.

You did.I know.

Just trying to apologize here.

Oh, f*ck it.

You're just a kid.
You didn't know any better.

Now who's
being patronizing?

You know,
your speech was great.

But some of it was bullshit.

What are you talking about?

I get it. No one should
objectify anyone

or give a disabled person
an award

just for making a sandwich.

But what's wrong
with acknowledging someone

who has to overcome
a bit more adversity
every day?

Well, yeah.

But acknowledgement
isn't about getting awards.

It's about acceptance.

And maybe a little help
sometimes.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

Ah, what the hell?

I did invent
the trombone stick.

I should definitely
get a Grammy for that, right?
