What happens right after Tent Scene 1?
Aussie Chris:
I don't really see the jacket thing as a continuity error, as I don't see it as a continuity error if Jack puts it on after they finish having sex, or even is he wakes up during the night feeling cold. It might be a little bit dull of me, but I just accept the fact that he doesn't have it on during sex, and it's on the next morning. It's not like the real continuity error when Aguirre rides up to Jack chopping wood. Jack places a piece of wood on the block as Aguirre approaches, but at the end of the conversation the piece is missing. Because there is no time loss in the Agirre scene, it is a continuity error. But in TS1 there is time lost between sex and the next morning, anything could have happened include putting on a Jacket.

Now this I love! Has everyone had a time in their life when you don't want to sleep and don't want to move because you don't want that time to ever come to an end? Thanks for posting nakymaton! ;D

Ha ha ha! Very true! Living in a northern climate, I can relate to that!
I also recall undressing again prior to the BF or guest waking! ::)

Oh, yes. :)
LOL at undressing again before someone awakes, David. ;D I get cold, too, but I guess I've been more inclined to be cold and unable to sleep rather than risk waking my partner and ending the moment!

--- Quote ---They went at it in silence except for a few sharp intakes of breath and Jack's choked "gun's goin off," then out, down, and asleep.
Ennis woke in red dawn with his pants around his knees, a top-grade headache, and Jack butted against him; without saying anything about it both knew how it would go for the rest of the summer, sheep be damned.
As it did go. They never talked about the sex, let it happen, at first only in the tent at night, then in the full daylight with the hot sun striking down, and at evening in the fire glow, quick, rough, laughing and snorting, no lack of noises, but saying not a goddamn word except once Ennis said, "I'm not no queer," and Jack jumped in with "Me neither. A one-shot thing. Nobody's business but ours." There were only the two of them on the mountain flying in the euphoric, bitter air, looking down on the hawk's back and the crawling lights of vehicles on the plain below, suspended above ordinary affairs and distant from tame ranch dogs barking in the dark hours.
They believed themselves invisible, not knowing Joe Aguirre had watched them through his 10x42 binoculars for ten minutes one day, waiting until they'd buttoned up their
jeans, waiting until Ennis rode back to the sheep, before bringing up the message that Jack's people had sent word that his uncle Harold was in the hospital with pneumonia and expected not to make it. Though he did, and Aguirre came up again to say so, fixing Jack with his bold stare, not bothering to dismount.

Well, according to the book, they never talked about the sex afterwards and, it seems they never talked DURING sex neither. Reminds me of a song from the Annie Oakley musical, Annie Get Your Gun, "Doin' What Comes Naturally."
