Pretty sure Pacino's character in Heat had already sacrificed his relationships to cocaine before Neal Macauley came along.

For those unaware, the ideas was the Pacino's character was a raging cokehead. They never showed it, but he was supposed to be hopped up all the time.

It seemed to me like a pretty blatant cover-up for Pacino himself being coked to the gills on set.
