/That hurt, old man./

/You think you can take away everything I am,
everything I ever wanted, you think it'll beat
me?/

/You're wrong.  Oh, you're *so* wrong./

He whirls, bangs his fist into the car's roof.
Stifles a sob before he knows it's there.

/Why'd you do it to her, you bastard?  *Her!*/

He breathes deep, leans his head against the
SUV.  Soon he grasps the latch with his good
hand.

/That's it, old man.  I'm done.  You live
through tonight, I'll kill you.  You're dead,
old man./
.
Tires squeal; the truck peels out of the 
garage.

/You're dead./
