The "ABCs of BBM": Round 965! (Rules in first post)

[southendmd]

Ennis's distress was palpable during this scene.

[memento]

Jack had a flashback of when Ennis lovingly came up from behind and embraced him, i.e. the dozy embrace.

[Fran]

Ennis:  "There's somethin' I been meanin' to tell you, bud.  It's likely November before I can come out here, after we ship stock and before winter feedin' starts again."  [DVD subtitles]

[Toast]

Jack has been forced to realize that "This is a Goddam bitch of an unsatisfactory situation," and that he can no longer grovel to Ennis' schedule.

[Meryl]

Jack was fed up with Ennis's holier-than-thou attitude about money: "You forget how it is, bein' broke all the time.  Ever hear of child support?"

[Fran]

In Jack's opinion, Ennis picked an inopportune time to break the news to him about August.  Looking at things from Ennis's perspective, no time would have been good, so it's easy to understand why he waited until the last minute.

[southendmd]

Ennis complained about his jejune life:  "I'm nothin', I'm nowhere."

{def: without interest or significance; dull; insipid}

Ennis was asking Jack a leading question when he asked: "You been a Mexico, Jack Twist?"

[Toast]

Ennis holds Jack and remembers his mother's words and song:



                ENNIS:   
        "Come on now, you're sleepin' on your feet like a horse."
           (pause)
        "My mama used to say that to me when I was little...."

They stand like that for another moment.

                ENNIS
        " ...and sing to me...."

ENNIS sings low, a childhood song, from some long-ago memory.

                ENNIS
        "I got to go."

[screenplay]

[Fran]

Jack and Ennis nestle together, "the shadow of their bodies a single column against the rock."
