What does Jack Say.. I Cant Understand It For Some Reason..
« on: April 11, 2007, 07:25:43 pm »
To Ennis after Ennis tells him the Horse has a low startle point. I know he says I doubt there is a Filly that can throw me but I can't get the rest of the line????

You bring up an interesting point. Jack says, "Let's git" and then later he urges Ennis to move quickly after killing the elk unless the Forest Service finds them. Annie Proulx described Jack as crazy to be anywhere but his home at Lightning Flat. And Jack was described as "dying on the road." Jack was full of wanderlust, and Ennis was the opposite, all the travelling he done was around the coffeepot looking for the handle.

I think he says in the move "Don't want to let the Game N Fish to catch you with no Elk".

A very small difference, but I've always heard the line as, " 'Less you want a stand around tyin' knots all day."
"It is required of every man that the spirit within him should walk abroad among his fellow-men, and travel far and wide."--Charles Dickens.

Sometimes I wish my fellow Brokies would watch the movie more often. I was working on the BBQ menu, for instance, and I threw out the idea of serving turkey legs because of their starring role in the movie. But I got the question back, "Where do turkey legs appear in the movie?" Um, they appear in the two Thanksgiving scenes. Another thing I wanted to add was round steak with peanut sauce. Can anyone guess why this is appropo??

When Ennis goes into the store to drop the girls to Alma because he has to work, he promises he'll bring steaks. Then Alma jr. ask for crayons and accidentaly throws all the peanut jars to the floor.

Tip: Before serving, ask who is allergic to peanut. You don't want the BBQ going awry over an allergy reaction. They're bad and deadly.
