In ACFS, I *love* the way Starsky says, "No" to Hutch's offer of water before he turns the table and offers Hutch his figurative boots. It's such a deep, heartbroken 'no', full of grief and weariness and despair, that even the blessing of water can't save him. It's where he begins to give up. So much emotion in such a small word.
