"C" is Cadillac

Cold night. Panhandle wind blows. JACK and LUREEN in their Cadillac, hurrying to a big country dance.  LUREEN is very North Dallas now, fur coat, too much jewelry, too much makeup, too stiff a hairdo.  JACK wears a white Stetson. Both are smoking.

I could never do it without your help.

Mrs. Twist believed in the religious dogma attached to the Pentecost, but wasn’t judgmental concerning her son’s sexuality.

Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.

"Jack and Ennis, the dogs, horses and mules, a thousand ewes and their lambs flowed up the trail like dirty water through the timber and out above the tree line into the great flowery meadows and the coursing, endless wind."  [short story]

JACK and ENNIS ride through the mountains, like Randolph Scott and Joel McCrae in RIDE THE HIGH COUNTRY, only more life-worn, more weather-beaten. [screenplay]

I want to see that movie.
