Lines that encapsulate the themes of the whole movie (or story)

HerrKaiser:
A line that grips me every viewing is when Ennis is nervously awaiting Jack's reunion-visit. After many cigarettes and beers, he peers longingly out the window with a forelorn look like a child waiting for the Christmas arrival of Santa Claus and says "..see if he shows".

the line is filled with anticipation, fear, sense of disbelief, wonder, and near childlike anxiety. to me, it sets the stage for Ennis' future understanding of Jack.
