First Step
“Bill?”
“Hmmm.”
“Morning arrives damn early on Galactica. You’ve been jostling and bumping me for over an hour now. What’s wrong?”
“Nothing’s wrong. Maybe I should move to the couch.”
“I don’t want you to move to the couch. I want you to tell me what’s bothering you.”
"Nothing.”
“Liar.”
“I’m fine.”
“William Adama, look at me.”
“I am looking at you.”
“Then tell me.”
“You might not want to hear what I have to say.”
“Bill, please. I do want to hear what you have to say.”
“You sure?”
“I’m sure.”
“The circus is over.”
“Circus?”
“I’m an alcoholic.”
