Ennis was an xplainer of why they couldn't do anything about their situation, giving Jack the following reasons:
"I built a life up in them years."
"Love my little girls."
"Alma? It ain't her fault."
"You got your baby and wife, that place in Texas."
"You and me can't hardly be decent together if what happened back there grabs on us like that. We do that in the wrong place we'll be dead."
"There's no reins on this one. It scares the piss out of me."
"I'm stuck with what I got, caught in my own loop. Can't get out of it."
"I don't want to be like them guys you see around sometimes. And I don't want to be dead."
