That is a good image about the life preserver, Anvilhead,
He doesn't have to go far for booze and crack (downstairs). And he gets a ride from some guy in his building to the casino. That being said he seems to be able to hobble around across the street and around the casino if he's got his "painkiller", he also manages to walk a bit even maybe a block away when he's got his stuff to help with his "pain".
