The premise
Here’s the bit.
A man opens Christmas presents while his family cheerfully indulges his taste for heroin. Ben and Susie have bought him the same thing as last year. Another couple tries a book of heroin anecdotes, then adds some heroin to enjoy with it. Grandma’s gift turns out to be cocaine, leaving her grandson to hide his disappointment while his mum quietly offers to exchange it.

Say it with us

Oh, it’s a book of heroin anecdotes.
I’ll take it back for you, love, and change it.
