Ennis pulls off his boots - no socks.
Pulls off his jeans - no underwear.
Slops the washcloth under his arms, between his legs.
Jack fixes dinner, glances over at Ennis now and then through the smoke of a cigarette dangling from his mouth.
Impassive.   [2003 screenplay]

Some high class entertainment at the Riverton Drive-In:

Ennis and Cassie sit in Ennis's truck, trying to watch The Empire Strikes Back.
Cassie is rapt, eats popcorn, swigs cheap white wine from a bottle between her knees, despite a violent wind storm that has come up, blowing trash and dust into the windshield.  The sound from old window-mounted speaker is barely audible over the windstorm. The wind is blowing dust so high into the air that the screen is partially obscured.
Ennis:   "We ought get our money back."
Cassie:   (hits him on the shoulder) "Hush up, Ennis, this is important. He's learnin' how to be a Jedi knight."
Ennis tries to step the blowing dust from entering his truck cab, tucks an old flannel shirt in the crack created by the drive-in movie speaker.
Ennis:  "My truck's fillin' with dust."
Cassie:  (rapt) "Shhhh!  Turn up the volume."
Ennis:  (fiddling with the speaker) "Up as high as it'll go."
A strong gust of wind carries a big panel of the screen away, leaving a rectangular hole in Luke Skywalker's face. Suddenly, Ennis rolls down his window just enough to unhook the speaker and throw it out into the dirt. He drives off.   [2003 screenplay]

Jack got a lot of mileage out of his klunker of a pickup truck.

def. = a large fish-eating hawk
"There were only the two of them on the mountain flying in the euphoric, bitter air, looking down on the hawk's back and the crawling lights of vehicles on the plain below, suspended above ordinary affairs and distant from tame ranch dogs barking in the dark hours."  [story]

Signal, Wyoming, early summer day 1964:
Jack drives through town in his truck, which rattles and sputters louder than ever. Drums his fingers on the steering wheel in time no "Faded Love" by Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys, which blares from his fuzzy radio. Eyes the sidewalks and dilapidated storefronts, as if looking for someone:  Ennis. 
Nothing, just a skinny kid on a bike being blown around by the wind, and two old women pulling their grocery carts. Jack parks in the dirt lot of the Farm and Ranch Employment trailer, dust and fine gravel pelting his truck's windows like hail.   [2003 screenplay]

The kitchen fight between Ennis and Alma started quibblingly and ended up violently.
