Great scene! Another great scene is the one that occurs just before, when Daryl ransacks his office looking for his drugs. Keaton's performance is so riveting. One can see the desperation that this addict is going through as he furiously teaars apart the office looking for his next fix.
I also like the scene right after Daryl's coffee shop chat with Richard, when he returns to the clinic and is undergoing his routine drug test. He's so happy with himself that he was able to survive his weekend pass without going off the wagon. He's definitely a man who is slowly realizing that he has a problem, but wants to be cured of that problem and is proud of himself for not succuming to temptation while on the outside. Hence his elated attitude manifested with jokes as he bursts happily through the bathroom door with Craig following close behind. -

I'd seen it several times but haven't seen it in a while. I'd have to see it again to say for sure which scene is my favorite. Just thinking about it now, I'd say the diner scene between Keaton and Walsh. Darryl lists all the bad things he's done in his life and Richard asks him point blank "Are you an addict, Darryl?" It kind of came out of nowhere, but it's obvious that this is the standard sponsor protocol. I liked the way Darryl reacted as if he was being attacked and just didn't want to face what he was.

SPOILER ALERT: I think one of my favs was when Iris was kicked out of rehab. I didn't see that coming, and when it happened, I was kind of kicking myself for not seeing it sooner. That really made me realize how clued in Craig was about everyone in the group. I also like the scene when Darryl berates Craig about how much money he makes. We realize then that true value isn't coming from money as much as self-respect (but 90 thousand can buy a good chunk of self respect).
Next thing they'll be breeding us like cattle. You've gotta tell them. SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE! -

The dinner scene between Daryl, Charlie & Lenny. It's quiet, but we can see what the characters are obviously feeling. When Daryl asks Lenny, "So, what do you do?" Charlie puts down her fork and just gives him a
look.
It's perfect. And after the dinner is over and Lenny is blazing up, telling Daryl to get the eff out.

I watched that phone scene without ONCE reflecting that Keaton-the-actor was doing a monologue into a prop phone. You imagine the mother crying on the other end, her heart totally smashedThe scene makes you cringe, it's so slimy and yet all perfectly plausible (no doubt that scene occurs in reality all over America every day).

Same here. I could hear in my mind the mother's initial happiness to hear from her boy, followed by confusion about "second mortgage" and terror that her son needed thirty grand and that knockout punch about his inheritance. And all that came from a simple closeup shot on a guy holding a phone and performing a monologue? Michael Keaton is fantastic.
