"H" is hears
« Reply #11280 on: February 17, 2007, 03:14:54 pm »
  ALMA JR. hears her father's voice, stumbles out of the bedroom rubs sleep out of her eyes.

                    ALMA JR.
     Bring me a fish, Daddy, a big fish.

                    ENNIS (to Alma Jr.)
     Come here.

Gives her a big kiss.

Turns to ALMA.  Awkward.

Gives her a quick-one-armed hug, kisses her on the cheek.

                    ENNIS (CONT'D)
     See you Sunday, latest.

"I" is intensity
« Reply #11281 on: February 17, 2007, 04:33:05 pm »
Alma was experiencing an intensity of complex emotions and struggled to keep her feelings inside while Ennis was still there.

"J" is jackets

Even though the reunion daytime temperature was high enough for swimming, Jack and Ennis wore warm jackets after dark.

"L" is letdown
« Reply #11283 on: February 17, 2007, 10:27:04 pm »
Alma is forced to deal with the letdown of knowing that Ennis would rather be with Jack than with her.

"M" is martyrdom
« Reply #11284 on: February 17, 2007, 11:08:34 pm »
Alma kept silent about what she had seen in the stairwell, preferring martyrdom to a confrontation with her volatile husband.

"N" is nobly
« Reply #11285 on: February 18, 2007, 10:03:58 am »
After Ennis said: "Jack and me is goin' out and get a drink. Might not get back tonight, we get to drinkin' and talkin'", Alma nobly responded: "Sure enough."

"O" is one-armed
« Reply #11286 on: February 18, 2007, 10:25:17 am »
Ennis gives Alma a one-armed hug as he grabs together the things he will need for a multi-day excursion with Jack Twist.



=comment=
When Alma Junior (at 19) visits Ennis at his trailer, he gives her a similar one-armed hug.

"P" is pull
« Reply #11287 on: February 18, 2007, 12:23:05 pm »
ALMA goes to the window.

Looks out... sees ENNIS throw his stuff in the back of JACK'S truck.  Gets in the passenger side, JACK gets in the driver's side.

They pull away, as Riverton comes to life.

ALMA, pale, filled with disquiet, pain, fear, watches them go.  Cries.  [screenplay]

"R" is rummaging
« Reply #11288 on: February 18, 2007, 01:27:09 pm »
As Ennis and Jack were about to leave, Alma was rummaging through her purse, looking for cigarettes or money for Ennis to buy her cigarettes.

"S" is speed
« Reply #11289 on: February 18, 2007, 02:12:15 pm »
The speed with which Ennis gathered together his things made it clear to Alma that he didn't want to stay and face any of her questions.
