There's a "30" missing, and nobody answered with the echoing "You did once." Preceding the nastiest thing Ennis ever says...

Wow! Very good Ellemeno for getting the last three ones I had in mind, and Julie, a big standing ovation for getting an eighth one out of that scene!!! You deserve a prize.

So, there's a missing thirty huh? And it's not the one from the radio where it's talking about the temp getting into the thirties, which Ellemeno stumped us with? *Jenny rubs her chin, looks up, frowns a little* ......

I am going to take a wild guess that it's something we see, like a number on a door, or a highway sign....any hints appreciated,

and DeeDee, I have no idea about your seven! Agh! There are so many numbers we haven't yet done! Which I love! It's kinda cool to have a slow moving game that way, since we aren't missing too much if we don't play for a while. Let's see how long we can stretch it out.

Ok, teeny hint.  7 in movie, not story.

Oh! give a little more hint than that? like, early in movie or later? OR, spoken or seen?

PLeeeze??? All I can think of now is it's one of the numbers on Aguirre's license plate!

I got the 7:  in the postcard returned deceased, Ennis had suggested Nov. 7 as a time they could meet at Pine Creek (or something like that).

Next: (a tuffy) 12th

I got it!!! It's the figure skaters on TV at Thanksgiving--"they are currently in 12th place"!!

Ok, here's one from the book. Find where a 4 and a 5 occur in the same sentence.

He saw she was pregnant, about four, five months, he guessed.

But I can't think of one to give you guys.  Who has one?

Find the numbers 2 and 10 in the book that we haven't talked about yet, that have to do with Ennis (hint: first half of book).

all right, this is a stretch, but:

two five dollar bills = $10 he's saving for his spread.

You're right, southendmd, that is a stretch, but a good one!! The one I am thinking of is still in the beginning of the book, but it actually says 2 and 10!

Next try!
