'but they sure try.' or was that the press? vinnie pops the cap off another beer.

'what you said, about the land and all. does that mean you want to, uh, *stay*? here, in vegas i mean?'

maybe if i had a couple beers first.

'i *saw* it. it was like . . . magic. you were a force of nature, i'm telling you. i was just . . . so scared!' a laugh. 'i was scared, of . . . of, of, y'know. losing you. is that . . . stupid of me?'

vinnie writes, his pencil scratching against the page the only sound. the wind had come and gone; quickly died down and became their audience. there are no birds.

'you had me scared,' vinnie says, carefully. 'i kept watching, y'know. couldn't take my eyes off you, big guy. had to be sure.'

i'm asking about the jar.
