You think that having everything in the palm of your hand would lead to great things; but somehow despite it all - the wealth, the family, the talent and aptitude for success - Teddie feels as if he's squandered a lot of it. He's always chased the desire to be someone, defined by his own merit and not the prestigious family he was born into or whose strings got him into a globally renown private art school. Does it matter if you're the talk of the town because your work is the galleries of your father's friends? Or that you couldn't even fail out of school if you tried, because your "periods of absence" (rehab visits) were accommodated easily and without complaint.
And that's what the majority of this visit is for Teddie - a chance to "be away from the vices" (shockingly ironic,) and to "socialize with others in his social circles" in an attempt to inspire him to do anything but cocaine and whoever walks by him next. Spoiler: It's not going to work.
