00:54groggy.
00:54The doctor and all, I spoke to the doctor and I said he was groggy because he was on the
00:58anesthetic, he was taking antibiotics and painkillers because the pain that he was going through.

01:32then he started asking money. And then he gets in loud and they say he's drunk. And the manager tells
01:40him to get him out of there.
