"L" is Laredo

The song Ennis hums, "Cowboy's Lament" is also known as "The Streets of Laredo", a sad song about a cowboy's ghost.


=aside=
 I remember learning this song in the third grade, in Catholic school, no less.

Ennis walks out of the post office with his mail, and there, in the bright sunshine, he sees the word stamped across his returned post card.

Jack was being very daring and a little naughty when he took Ennis' hand and placed it on his erect penis!  :P

Joe Aguirre had little compassion; the sign on his door made that clear.  He was a quaestuary.

"R" is roundup
« Reply #2416 on: May 25, 2006, 04:28:08 pm »
At first, Ennis says he can't come to Alma Jr.'s wedding because he is supposed to be on a roundup near the Tetons.  Luckily, he changes his mind seconds later, when he sees her disappointment.  :)


=comment=
Ennis was also on a roundup a month before the post-divorce scene with Jack. He said he had missed the weekend with the girls the month before because of a roundup.

After Ennis broke down during their last encounter, Jack and Ennis managed to torque themselves back almost to their original relationship.
