The Blood Moon.
INT. THE HOUSE - AFTERNOON
CHARLIE is passed out drunk in his bed with an empty bottle of scotch still in his hand. He's lying in a small bit of his own sick. There is knock on the bedroom door.
MARY

MARY is knocking on the door, while the rest of the family and ROSE'S friends are downstairs.

CHARLIE hugs MARY, then staggers back into bed and passes out.
