"D" is doorways
« Reply #10030 on: January 11, 2007, 12:09:17 pm »
JACK makes his way through the crowded streets, entering the seedier part of the town.  Soon, every building is a strip club or a bordello, painted silhouettes of nude women adorn the brightly lit signs. HOOKERS stand in doorways enticing passersby. The sidewalks are crowded with MILITARY MEN, VENDORS-  Sirens, people yelling, Mexican polka music.     [2003 screenplay]

Love the barbecued letters.

"E" is emptiness

After Ennis's stunning rejection, the emptiness in Jack's heart prompts him to flee to Mexico, where he seeks out strangers for sex.

"G" is goof

Whoever painted the "wines and licquors" sign in Juarez made a goof.  The word "licquors" is misspelled.

Besides responding to "senor?" with a nod, Jack hooked up with the prostitute with hardly a how-do-you-do.

Tourists and locals intermingled on the streets and sidewalks in Juarez, including the family posing for a picture with a donkey wearing a sombrero.

A Juarez-bound Jack hoped to lose his feeling of desolation south of the border, down Mexico way.

"M" is Merle
« Reply #10038 on: January 11, 2007, 02:35:23 pm »
Radio plays Merle Haggard's "My Friends Are Gonna Be Strangers".

Begins to cry, hard...but something has turned inside him...he looks desolate but determined: knows where he is headed.     [2003 and 2004 screenplays]
