YES!!!! I just can't get enough.
--- Quote ---Diane, I think the very fact that it doesn't fit Ennis' character is what makes it so incredibly touching. But even for those who've seen it, it's sooooo subtle that it really doesn't take anything away from Ennis' use of the word in his question to Alma Jr.

I'm going to listen again tonight (when I have might nightly viewing) ... I'll check out. "I swear .... " I haven't been able to hear one darn word (up to this point)! So, I'll try it again! ::)

OK, then, here's my advice. Right after he breathes in the shirts, hoping for the scent, his face up close to the cloth -- watch for the left 1/4 inch or so of his mouth to twitch three times, as if he's saying three one-syllable words. Listen for him to make three short sounds, ditto. It won't sound or look particularly like "I love you." He could be saying just about anything, or twitching for some other reason. But that's the reason that makes the most sense -- and is the most emotionally thrilling -- to me.
Then, immediately -- and I mean IMMEDIATELY -- afterward, it cuts to Mrs. Twist in the kitchen. So if you get there and haven't seen it, rewind slightly and try again.
Good luck! Report back tomorrow!

I was using :P in terms of **pant, pant** not yuck. Nothing associated with BBM could ever be yuck IMHO, not even a cat-piss smelling tent!! My setup to hear the "I love you" was earbuds and the DVD on my computer.
Amber:
This is SOOOOO what we need a special edition DVD for. *sighs*
I don't think he says "I love you" but tell you what, that's what makes this movie so great, it is SO open for interpretation. Everyone gets and see and hears different things from this movie, yet the story is just as strong for those who don't hear/see/get the same things. The movie opens the door for different emotional interpretations.
If it turns out he does say "I love you" then I bet I cry even harder during that scene. If that's even possible.

I hear the radio during Ennis's packing almost the same, Barbara, but not quite:
"...This great big guy...big, hairy, monstrous guy - must have been a construction worker all his life. And he's sitting at the bar next to this little bitty fellah...and the bartender... (dialogue)...and he grabs this <something>...and he just slips <something>...
"How did you do that? And the little guy replies (soft, wussy voice, kind of like Wally Cox), "Well, Sir....."[/quote]
So, as I like to point out - I think this is a "faggot" joke. The construction worker represents the red-blooded American male, and the little bitty guy represents a "queer." What Ennis and Jack have to listen to subliminally.
