"X" is xpresser

Upon hearing about the deaths of Ennis's parents and how he was raised by his brother and sister, Jack is an xpresser of empathy:  "Shit.  That's hard."

"A" is ashtrays
« Reply #11622 on: March 06, 2007, 11:38:17 am »
8    INT: EARLY: MORNING:   8

The barroom is large and cavernous. All the chairs are stacked upside-down on the tables. It's empty except for a BARTENDER and WAITRESS, both middle-aged.

The husky BARTENDER stands behind the bar and stocks bottled beer into the cooler. The skinny, middle-aged WAITRESS cleans ashtrays in a sink.

ENNIS and JACK enter the dingy bar. Sunlight bursts into the dimly lit room, startling the BARTENDER and the WAITRESS.

ENNIS and JACK wait a moment for their eyes to adjust to the darkness.     [2003 screenplay]

Jack and Ennis enter the bar in the early morning when it's at its emptiest and proceed to empty several bottles of beer leaving the empties on the bar.

While talking in the bar, Jack was fidgeting absent-mindedly with his Zippo.

While at the Signal bar, Jack gripes about his old man, telling Ennis that he can't please him, no way.

Jack tells of the haplessness of the 42 zapped sheep; and Ennis tells of the haplessness of his parents on the 43 miles of Dead Horse Road leading to the old ranch in Sage.
