Favorite lines from Proulx's story- an Ode to TOB
Shakesthecoffecan:
"Ennis, riding against the wind back to the sheep in the treacherous, drunken light, thought he'd never had such a good time, felt he could paw the white out of the moon."
To see Ennis Del Mar happy, is to be happy.
saucycobblers:
His shaking hand grazed Ennis's hand, and electrical current snapped between them.
That whole scene is amazing, even more so in the book than in the film I think. There are so many things going on at the same time - the mundane pleasantries, the two men almost on the point of losing control, Alma's confusion and rising panic, the baby crying in the background... OMG i just hold my breath every time i read it.
twistedude:
All the posted lines are ...I haven't the words.
But "swung from the feck, and laid the miniestering angel out among the wild columbine, wings folded," is I guess my favorite...and oddly enough, it's the one place I laugh out loud in the movie, for a differenrt reason: it is SO Ennis.
Jeff Wrangler:
So many wonderful lines, so little time. ...
Of course, the only one I can be sure to quote correctly without the text in front of me is:
"Gun's goin' off."
;D

I always feel like I can just about see that happening in the film. At least I certainly can feel it!
