The next morning, Dr. Rivers is worried that his wife has twisted her ankle and is unable to attend the meeting. He brings her breakfast and tells her that she should not drink coffee on her empty stomach because it is not good for her health. He also tells her to stop drinking milk because it contains too much alcohol. He tells Rivers that his son-in-law drank a lot of alcohol the night before and that his liver is broken down by the alcohol. Rivers says that even if his son drank too much, he would still be in good health because his liver breaks down the alcohol in such a way that it would not harm his health. Rivers then tells his wife that he had the meeting without her and that it must have been something urgent.
