( there's a showmanship to nathan now. he steps inside a story an' inhabits it with the tellin', makin' it a livin, breathin' thing with a beatin' heart and a soul of its own. when he holds the coin out as the pièce de résistance, gene reaches out to take it for his own examination. seems a heavy thing to die for. an' it was dyin', wasn't it? because that's where the story ends.
gene flips the coin over his fingers, an' then passes it on back to nathan. )
Wish I could'a seen it. All that history — must'a been one Helluva sight.
