Now, why did Ennis just stare into the fire when Jack said, "Sometimes I miss you so much, I can hardly stand it" ??

Ennis said nothing cause he knew he couldn't make August, so he wait until the end . He knew it make Jack upset and of course he was right. Remember the line line. "You had a whole to tell me this Ennis...." Of course it still didn't change that he couldn't make it. This is why I maintain that the "Sometime I miss..." was not the last night of the trip but 2nd or 3rd.

This used to be one of the things I was maddest at Ennis for. Then someone here helped me figure it out - all week he knew he needed to tell Jack that he wasn't going to be able to make it in August, and this was their last evening together. Feeling lots of pressure to tell Jack, and dread at Jack's response, it incapacitated him further when Jack told him how much he misses him. He hates hurting Jack...so he froze up and shut up. :(
Why does Ennis say, "If I don't have to sing?"
Front-Ranger:
It's not because Heath doesn't know how to sing; we know he does because he did on "One of the Things I Hate About You." But Ennis doesn't want to sing OR dance because he is so repressed. He is actually a good singer and dancer, and he has a good sense of rhythm, you can tell by the way he beats on the coffee pot during "Water Walking Jesus." But if he shows his true feelings through self-expression he is afraid that people will find out about him and beat him up.
Why does Ennis not tell Jack his last name when he meets him?

Why does Alma plead her case for moving to town with ?Other kids for the girls to play with?? We see ?em playing at the apartment three times...by themselves.

Cause SHE wanted to be in town, and like a lot of mothers she blackmails her hubby by saying it is for the benefit of the kids.....
She also says she could do it up nice....but it looked a bloody mess most of the time.....
