Ennis appeals to Jack to leave him alone, so that he might be someone, going somewhere with something.

"Jack, I got a work. Them earlier days I used a quit the jobs. You got a wife with money, a good job. You forget how it is bein broke all the time. You ever hear a child support? I been payin out for years and got more to go. Let me tell you, I can't quit this one. And I can't get the time off. It was tough gettin this time -some a them heifer is still calvin. You don't leave then. You don't. Stoutamire is a hell-raiser and he raised hell about me takin the week. I don't blame him." [Story]

"They had stood that way for a long time in front of the fire, its burning tossing ruddy chunks of light, the shadow of their bodies a single column against the rock."  [story]

"Like vast clouds of steam from thermal springs in winter the years of things unsaid and now unsayable -- admissions, declarations, shames, guilts, fears -- rose around them."

One of my favorite lines.

"E is explodes
« Reply #10744 on: January 31, 2007, 05:59:11 pm »
After Ennis tells him that their August rendezvous cannot happen, Jack explodes verbally - which causes Ennis to express his own despair.

"F" is failure
« Reply #10745 on: January 31, 2007, 06:25:02 pm »
Ennis felt like he was a failure, saying to Jack: "Why don't you let me be? It's because of you, Jack, that I'm like this. I'm nothin'. I'm nowhere."

"G" is grimaces

Screenplay:  ENNIS stands as if heartshot, face gray and deep-lined. Fights a silent battle, grimaces.

"H" is humming
« Reply #10747 on: January 31, 2007, 06:49:54 pm »
"Ennis's breath came slow and quiet, he hummed, rocked a little in the sparklight and Jack leaned against the steady heartbeat, the vibrations of the humming like faint electricity and, standing, he fell into sleep that was not sleep but something else drowsy and tranced...."  [story]

"I" is inward
« Reply #10748 on: January 31, 2007, 06:57:44 pm »
Ennis was fighting an inward battle even more than the outward battle with Jack.

"J" is jumpily
« Reply #10749 on: January 31, 2007, 07:15:07 pm »
Ennis jumpily broached the topic of August, hoping that maybe Jack had an even warmer jacket.
