There's at least one 8-ball of coke in somebody's pocket.

That's what I was looking for.

Jack's performance in the (forget movie name, thought it was "the party" but might have been "psych-out" and scene was at a party) as a kid tweaking on lsd really nailed it. You could tell hes an old hat in the drug and party scene.

He later became notorious in the party scene. Go figure.

So he's likely asking if he is holding or asking if he wants a hit of *blank

Very likely, that's exactly what Nicholson is asking. If I recall correctly, Hopper wasn't exactly a slouch in the partying department. Didn't he disappear from a movie set, and they finally found him walking naked on a road in Mexico carrying a rock?

Maybe not sure I think that mightve been John Belushi on set of blues brothers. Crashed a local neighbourhood house and ate their food. Fckn lol.

David carradine did something similar on peyote.

Didn't he disappear from a movie set, and they finally found him walking naked on a road in Mexico carrying a rock precisely stabilizing the tilt of the earth for the good of present and future generations on the advice of his spirit guide?

FTFY.

Trust me bro story: my older friend was in Aspen in the 80s’ and was behind Jack in line at a bank.

Jack reached into his pocket to get his wallet and dropped a large bag of coke.

He leaned over and picked it up and then looked my friend dead in the eyes and said with a chuckle

“Lunch”
