Jimbo was getting what he considered undesired attention from the lonesome cowboy and was thinking, "Hit the road, Jack."

To Ennis, Jack had a tendency to behave waywardly.

Noticing that the tent could use some adjusting, Ennis states the obvious:  "Tent don't look right."

Jack kept hoping for a "sweet life" with Ennis, knowing it might be what a fool believes.

Jack's attitude toward Ennis was "Con te partiro", i.e. "I will go with you".

An excerpt from an interview with Ang Lee:

Q:  Can you talk about the lead actors, Heath and Jake, and why each one.

Ang Lee.:  I decided quite early on when I took on the project that I would go with younger actors and play towards older. I think I had a better chance to have something younger in a sense and to bank from it in the end of the story than to have someone more sophisticated and try to be young, or even split the difference… because [of] that innocence. So I decided to go with early twenties, and I think these guys are among the best actors. I love to work with good actors, so they were candidates because of that, and I met quite a few of them. Heath struck me as a good actor to carry the Western, the brooding, memorable fear, violence -- a lot of those melancholy mysterious characteristics of the West. I think he was a good man to carry it. Then I had to find a counterpart, and that is Jake. I think he carries the romantic theme, the embrace of romance -- more knowing, bright, positive... almost not [a] cowboy look. The story is purely Western when you read it, but as a movie the genre closes as a romantic love story, so I was more casting the romantic element.

Ennis's relationship with "Jack Nasty" became the elephant in the room between him and Alma after she caught them getting a little carried away outside her front door...

After suffering rejections from Ennis and Jimbo, Jack found the attention from Lureen fascinating.

Upon seeing Jack after his divorce, Ennis thinks that people are gossiping and everybody's talkin' about me.
