Yes, and I think the fact that he uses the word "pavement" instead of "street," as people usually would in that context, is a subtle reference to the pavement scene earlier.
--- Quote ---A strange sign I encountered in Britain last year was "Changed Priorities Ahead". Now that is quite a deep statement!!

A while ago I was watching the show "Chopped" while working out, and one of the chefs who was competing said he had taken great pains with his presentation of the dish because "we eat with our eyes." That phrase stuck in my mind...where had I heard that before? I seemed to hear the echo of someone saying it with a Texas accent. "We eat with our eyes." Suddenly tonight it came to me! It was L. D., saying "We don't eat with our eyes"!!!
Sason:
That's great, Lee!!
Sometimes I also hear, or think of, something - often it's just a tone of voice.
I know it reminds me of BBM, but I don't know what line, or who said it.
It usually comes to me sooner or later, and I hear the line said in that very tone of voice in my head.

I was reading of the upbringing of Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon, this morning. He spent summers on his grandfather's ranch: "he learned how to clean stalls, to brand and castrate cattle, to install plumbing and handle other ranch-hand tasks." This conjured up visions of Ennis as an Internet mogul, relying on his early upbringing. Can you just see it??
