~~THE PERFORMANCE THREAD~~ **aside** ((action)) %%thought%%
LauraGigs:
ENNIS [thinkin]: Dang. Between the explodin and cryin and whut-not, it's been a helluva long day.
Oh sheeit, there's the ol man again. Tellya whut: I ain't gettin out without these here shirts. He hassles me about this, it's gonna be ON.
(But I can't do no ass-kickin in front of Jack's mama... Hmm. Maybe I can just challenge him to a dance battle or somethin.)
Daniel:
MA TWIST (as played by Scarlett O'Hara):
Oh dear, me. Ah looked high and low for a paper bag in this here kitchen and if there are any in here, Ah'll just be a monkey's aunt. Ah found these instead though. If we cut them out and tape them together, it might be enough for a paper bag.

OLD MAN TWIST~
((muttering in his head))
%%What took him so long, up there? I don't like this one bit, him comin' into my house, snoopin' about and pokin' his nose into my bizness..... an' is he tryin' ta shield somethin' from my view, there, under his arm? What the H-E-L-L has he got there?!??%%
%%Should I wrassle 'im for it? I wonder if I could take 'im..... well maybe not, might to let the wife deal with it..... what a royal pain in the ass this has bin! A whole afternoon wasted!!%%
LauraGigs:
(( ENNIS steps past OLD MAN TWIST, meeting eyes with his co-star in her maroon Texas finery. ))
%% Dang, whutta gown. French silk velvet and all. And catch a gander at all them jewel accents an' hand-dyed ostrich feather details on the shoulder. %%
(( Nods at her and gestures meekly with the shirts. Steps a bit closer. ))
[Whispers] Ma'am, you don't have to hand-make no paper bag on my account. If you'd be willin to part with some tulle from that shawl you're wearin, I can just wrap the shirts in that or somethin.
Daniel:
MA TWIST (as played by Scarlett O'Hara)
((Wistfully clings to her shawl.))
**Ah.... Jack gave me this for mah birthday. Ah--**
((Takes one look into Ennis's eyes and recognizes how much Jack meant to him. She slowly peels off the tulle shawl and holds it open so Ennis can put the two shirts inside it, then she slowly, reverently wraps the shawl around the two shirts and hands it to him.))
((She looks at her husband for a moment and then lifts her chin proudly, though still overcome with sadness.))
Ah do hope you'll come back and see us again.
