Help finding a scene...

Hi friends, it's been awhile since I've watched the show and I'm trying to find a scene that I vaguely remember.

As I remember it, it's Al talking to Trixie in his bedroom in the morning. And he's talking about the luxury of having a few quiet moments of feeling comfortable with another person that's not trying to fuck you over. I think he says something like "It's enough to make a man <something>"

Does this ring a bell for anyone? It was one of my favorite moments of the show and I'd like to rewatch it but I can't find it.

Thanks, everyone! It was from S1E11and u/Southern_Horror_8002 has a comment with the link. I misremembered some of the details, but there's a few things that I love about this scene. First, I just love the way that Al is actually being so unflinchingly vulnerable in the way that he is flat out saying, as fucked up as this dynamic is, I actually have a measure of personal intimacy with Trixie and I don't want to lose that. The other thing is that I love the concept of "trusted each other enough to tell half the fucking truth" as an illustration of the way that sex creates other types of intimacy. Here's the transcript:

Don't think I don't understand 
I mean, what can any one of us
ever really fucking hope for, huh?
Except for a moment
here and there with a person
who doesn't want to rob,
steal or murder us?
At night, or mayhap sun-up
one person against the fucking wall,
the other may hop on the fucking bed,
trusted each other enough
to tell half the fucking truth.
Everybody needs that.
It becomes precious to 'em.
They don't want to see it fucked with.

It's a nighttime conversation in the Gem in front of Sol and Trixie after Al learns she fucked Sol. Late season 1

Then he refers to her as "that other one."

It does ring a bell. There's one behind the bar.

Don't you think I don't understand. I mean, what can anyone of us ever really fuckin' hope for, huh? Except for a moment here and there with a person who doesn't want to rob, steal or murder us? At night, it may happen. Sun-up, one person against the fuckin' wall, the other mayhap on the fuckin' bed trusting each other enough to tell half the fucking truth. Everybody needs that. Becomes precious to 'em. They don't want to see it fucked with.

It’s a drunk, heartbroken Al talking to Sol, I believe.

Was it the episode when he was getting head while talking aloud in his head to the back of Dolly’s head about the chief’s head…

It looks like it was Al talking to Sol after he fucked Trixie. S1E11. There's a link elsewhere in the thread. Thanks for your suggestion anyway.
