51: INT. STUDIO DAY FADE IN: 

Two months later. Aerosmith is working on their next album, and Steven is now heavily addicted to pain medication. 

STEVEN: (trying to record) Now... You say... You're sorry... For being so untrue... Well you can cry me a river... Cry me a river, I cried a river over you... 

JOE: (sighs) Cut! Steven, what's up man? 

STEVEN: Nothing, nothing. I just didn't uh... Get, get enough uh... Sleep last night.

TIM: (comes in) Hey Stevie, I got you your pills. (gives them to him) 

JOE: (looks at Steven) What the fuck? Are those your pain pills? You were supposed to be done with those by now! 

STEVEN: I'm still hurting. 

JOE: So go to the doctor! 

STEVEN: I don't need to. (pours a few pills out and crushes them up) (snorts them) 

52: INT. STEVEN'S APARTMENT (BEDROOM) NIGHT

Later that night... 

STEVEN: (comes in and collapses on the bed) 

RACHAEL: Hey honey, how was everything at the studio?

STEVEN: Oh you know... The usual. 

RACHAEL: Honey, are you okay? You seem a little out of it. 

STEVEN: I'm fine, it was just a long day, that's all.

RACHAEL: Well, maybe I can help you relax. (begins massaging him) 

STEVEN: Mm... Thank you baby.
