Checking the previous passage, yes Slothrop took a cash advance after
agreeing to retrieve hashish & counterfeiting equipment from under the

Slothrop is waking up reluctantly, and Säure is walking around (with
bloodshot eyes from his own partying) nagging him - making noise, bringing
tea, reminding him what he said he would do
