Orin phones Hal about Himself's suicide — "He quit drinking in January, Hal…"
‘He quit drinking in January, Hal. It was something Joelle was real specific about. She called even after we’d agreed not to call and told me about it even after I said I didn’t want to hear about him if she was going to still be in his things. She said he hadn’t had a drop in weeks. It was her condition for letting him put her in what he was doing. She said he said he’d do anything.’
Context
Orin's counter-testimony: Joelle's condition for appearing in the final cartridge was Jim's sobriety, and "he said he'd do anything." The Entertainment's production terms, relayed third-hand — and they cut directly against the gift-bowed Wild Turkey on the counter, a contradiction the call never resolves. Corroborates n.80's account from the Joelle side.
