Arthur polishes off a brown-bagged bottle of something while driving, and we are meant to find this madcap, completely unalarming, as his car swerves and careens across the bridge to Long Island. His father-in-law-to-be disapproves of his drinking:

FATHER-IN-LAW-TO-BE

I don’t drink because drinking affects your decision-making.

ARTHUR

(slurring)

You may be right. I can’t decide,

but neither the asshole father-in-law-to-be, nor Susan, have any objection to Arthur’s getting back behind the wheel of a car. At dinner, Susan (Jill Eikenberry, amazing at oozing parodic sincerity) plays the loyal, understanding girlfriend card:

SUSAN

Arthur, don’t you get it? You can get drunk. You can throw up. You can forget to call me for months. You can’t lose with me. I know you too well. I’m much stronger than you are. I know how alone you are. I hate how alone you are. I’ve cried because you’re so alone. . Don’t drink anymore, Arthur.
