A Ninth Viewing Observation
Brown Eyes:
Heya!
It's fun to see this thread seeing some new action. 8)
And, yes I agree that he probably left quickly because he felt foolish and super disappointed. And, clearly he was also probably flat out mad at Ennis and/or so heartbroken that he may not have wanted to be in Ennis's presence too long. Maybe the tears we see in the truck ride back south were already threatening and he didn't want to cry in front of Ennis.
And, yep, definitely a cruel scene. The whole second half is so hard to watch sometimes.

Foolish and embarassed. I think Jack thought Ennis wouldn't bother to send him a postcard saying he was divorced unless it meant something in regards to the two could now be togather or an invitation for him to come right away.
Front-Ranger:
I agree. As I recall, we could see Jack's face turning a bit red, and then when he was in the car driving, it became more red and blotchy. Jake deserved the Oscar for this scene alone, IMHO.

yeah, absolutely.
And just think of the hours Jack has spend driving to get there. 14 hours at least. Time enough to make up a lot of different scenarios and plans.
Poor, poor Jack.
Sammi:
It just seemed so abrupt, like he gave up so quickly. I wonder why he did not say "are you kidding me?" or somehting to that effect, but I guess it had to be feelings he saved for that big blowup argument later on the mountain. It was really heartbreaking. The contrast of him singing in the car on the way up and then crying on the way back - so gut wrenching.
