YOUNG JACK

((Just outside the trailer, the door slams shut behind he and ENNIS. Goes down the steps, looks down and spits. %% That singing left a nasty taste in my mouth %% Grabs a CIGARETTE from his shirt pocket and lights it.))

((Looks over at Ennis))

I'm Jack F. Twist, by the way.

Young Ennis


((Looks oddly at Jack, admiring his boldness))

%% The names Ennis, and I'd sure love a cold one.%%


((Following behind Jack as they walk to the bar trying to keep his eyes on the ground))

[Daniel]

YOUNG JACK:

((smiles to himself and drags on his CIGARETTE, also heading toward the bar))

So you're just Ennis, huh? No last name or nothin'? Not that I mind. Ennis is good enough for me.

%% Oh my god, did I really just say that %%

((coughs, selfconsciously))

%% High Priestess must REALLY be hungover.  Guy looks like Heath Ledger because he IS!  FSD would never deceive H.P. (High Priestess) who is incapable of being deceived anyway.  Subtlety in writing is sooooooo lost on H.P. when she's had too much ceremonial wine.  FSD considers that H.P.'s interest in Heath Ledger is NEVER a joking matter... %%

(( FSD returns tassel to H.P., who accepts it as the talisman that it is.  H.P. sets off to Nordstrom Spa for a hot stone massage to recover from last night, and FSD looks for new ceremonial implements to restore balance to set and self. ))

%% Hmmm, this particular tent don't look right.  First Celeste mentions this hungover Heath look-alike; then she swears on a stack of Feng Shui manuals that it's really Heath after all.  I may be near-sighted, but she can spot a 50%-off dress sale sign from 15 blocks away, no glasses required.  Must make some inquiries of my own.... %%

(( Back at sheep playground ... L. Indapaddock dozes off for a spell ...))


** Could someone make sure I don't sleep too long?
Just need to grab about 22 winks.  I'm beat!!  **

Del Mar..


%That's it? That's all I could mutter. What is wrong with me?? I feel like a school girl.%

[Daniel]

YOUNG JACK:

((stops for a moment and looks back at Ennis. Extends his hand warmly, smiling))

Nice to meet you Ennis Del Mar.

%% God, I'm getting myself into some trouble here. Hopefully I'll last the summer %%

[Daniel]

YOUNG JACK:

((puts out his cigarette as he gets to the Bar, goes in and finds a place at the bar. Looks back at Ennis.))

What're ya drinkin'. I'll pay. We gotta celebrate gettin' hired.

(( The atmosphere this very minite at Riverton's Hunky Tunk Bar ...))
