Nothing Puccini ever wrote is so tragic as the inconsolable cry of your own child. I walk, and she screams until she gasps for breath, and I bow my head and weep. I weep. I say, over...

John disappears into the woods briefly to retrieve a large bottle of King Cobra beer. He pitches it back, finishing it off with a trademark belch. He is now out of beer as well as cigarettes and money, and there is nothing to distract him but the cold sea breeze. He searches each pocket twice, the first time slowly and then frantically: only a pocket knife, his lighter and a hairbrush.
