The only colors in the scene are a pink blotch of gum on the worn sole of her shoe and an amber prescription bottle - holding the Vicodin capsules that, we learn, she cracks open to snort the brilliant orange grains inside, medicating a bad back and her emotional state...

The athletes contribute to the circus of blue-collar combat 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. But the consequences...
...then had therapy. Last he remembers, he was on the table. He doesn't remember his therapist leaving. It's all "very vague," he says. Owens' longtime spokeswoman, Kim Etheredge, was concerned enough to call the paramedics. All she knew was that Owens' bottle of pain pills - reportedly generic vicodin - was empty; he says he had sorted out the pills and put the extra in a drawer...
