The mysterious "I love you" and other nearly indiscernible moments
Front-Ranger:
This is not the most exciting of indiscernable moments but I'm interesting in knowing what the radio announcer is saying in the background in the first bar scene, when Alma is doing laundry in the sink, and when Ennis is preparing to go off on the first trip with Jack. Also, when Jack is getting out of the truck in the post-divorce scene. It would be interesting to string this all together and see what it says.

When Jack and Ennis are looking at each other outside Agearre's trailer, there is a quick segment, just before Jack is shown shaving, where Jack looks at Ennis, then Jack lowers his head and his hat covers his eyes.
At that moment, Jack's lips move. I believe Jack mumbles "oh my God" or "oh man" to indicate from the get go that Jack is enamoured with Ennis.
Anyone else see this? thanks!

I did take a close look at this scene again, and made sure I had my headphones on (just in case) but my take was that Jack was just moving his lips over his teeth, and then swallowing.
However, I am open to suggestions, and think I'll give it another watch. It's a hardship having to view Jake's performance so closely! ;)

Somewhere around here Ellemeno transcribed what the radio announcer says when Ennis is preparing to go fishing with Jack (not the first time, though -- the one where he almost forgets the tackle box). She (Elle) interprets it as a homophobic joke.

I have been searching for this for over an hour but all I can find are several references to it by ... you!

Ellemeno referenced it on July 5, post #122. Shortly after reading her post I rewatched that scene many time and agree it is a joke, perhaps a gay joke, but it is hard to tell. And there is no subtitling for the radio announcer either...Doug
