TOTW 09/07: Did it seem like Jack was responsive to Randall's flirtatiousness?

Yes, they have that going on a lot throughout the film. Most notably (and poignantly) in the Bus Station scene.  Behind the tearful Cassie, a pair of men — one in a beige hat, one in a black hat — stand at the Greyhound counter.  (Going off somewhere together? While Ennis is "nothin, nowhere"?)

I believe that's English for "chat". :)

Re:  Jack on the bench.

I find it very "Ang" that Jack just stares, unmoving, to Randall's proposition.  (And, wearing too much makeup, I might add.) 

We're left to wonder what Jack might be "nattering" on about in his mind.  Is he thinking about Ennis?  Considering the proposition?  Mortified?  Nauseated from dancing with Lashawn?

I love how Ang never spoon-feeds us.  It's up to us to figure it out. 

Great question, Amanda.
