Scenes
Jim (Christian Bale) is trying to get a Homeland Security job, but first he has to pass a drug test. He drinks straight vinegar to shut his kidneys down, then injects someone else's drug-free urine into his bladder by putting a turkey baster to his penis. He does the latter while sitting in a car with Mike (Freddy Rodríguez). This is not explicitly shown, but his grimaces and groans are. At the job interview he is struggling in pain, and the interviewer remarks that he seems to be full of "piss and vinegar." He is in even more pain as he lines up with other men to give a urine sample, and finally pushes ahead in line.
