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.
