Yeah... All the guys, we're all going huntin'. Like we did. You know? Like we always used to. LINDA That's wonderful. I think you should... fresh air. NICK gets to his feet, suddenly. His face is twisted with pain and his voice is cracked with emotion. NICK You know how sometimes you're going along... You're going along... And that's all...! One thing is right after another, like steps... And you step along. NICK can hardly breathe. It is as if he were choking. NICK (CONT'D) I don't know where that is... It's gone! That's gone!
