He's riding on a great big California high, living in a house where there's no sense of time, where breakfast is Froot Loops and beer, where people "crash" when their "action" cycle runs out, where an aging hooker named Barbara gropes around looking for "The Guide."

Even when he gets [Son] Steve's breakfast, they eat separately and read the papers. They don't talk. I can't imagine anything worse than starting off the day with conversation...
