~~THE PERFORMANCE THREAD~~ **aside** ((action)) %%thought%%
Daniel:
((SCENE CHANGE: MORNING))
YOUNG JACK:
((heads into camp on the LOW STARTLE POINT HORSE, a twangy musical number rearing up from the orchestra))
((dismounts the HORSE who is already dancing in time with the music))
Now I know it pays the bills, this business with the sheep.
But in all honesty, It's makin' me lose sleep.
It takes me an hour to get there, I've got to complain.
But sometimes two or more dependin' on the rain.
If you've never worked with sheep, I'll explain a little.
There're sheep that pee, and sheep that fling their spittle.
And by all the forces and powers o' hell.
You don't want to be around that smell.
The puptent, now that's the worst,
Smells like a cat bladder has burst.
((Sets down in camp next to Ennis, who is already frying bananas at the campfire.))
**All in all, it ain't fair.
I'd rather be here.
Down with Ennis in this homey campsite.
Not once in the mornin' and once in the night.
But how do I dare to bring up such a thing.
They say it ain't right. They say it's a sin.
But still I'd much rather... ((his voice fades off and he shrugs))
All in all, it ain't fair.**
((Takes a swig from YOUNG WHISKEY BOTTLE))
That Aguirre's right crude with his business.
He treats everyone like they are his.
But the thing that irks everyone is this:
He usually don't give a rat's piss.
All in a-a-alll, it ain't fai-ai-air.
Brown Eyes:
**Cue the sunrise... ready... and Action!**
DeeDee:
Young Ennis:
((Ennis up early frying bananas waiting in earnest for Jack to come down. Hears a horse approach and starts getting real happy.))
Hey bud, did ya sleep a'right? Love the song, you got yourself some talent there boy.
%% Cannot believe he just said that. Wonder if he thought a me in his sleep? %%
I was jes' wonderin' if maybe you like to take a break and let me tend to the sheep, since you been lookin' all tired and stuff. I don' mean you look bad or nothin' cause you look real good ta me...uh (coughs) . I jes thought we could take turns and maybe you can do some of the cookin' and cleanin' roun here, and I could watch for Ky-otes, since I ain't quite sure ya know that rifle quite good yet.
(( Ennis gets up and feels Jacks eyes on him as he walks away and wonders, maybe if he stays up with the sheep at night, he'll stop thinking about the cowboy with the blue eyes and start thinking about ....uh.. what's her name??? Oh she-it, Alma))
Daniel:
YOUNG JACK:
((grins at ENNIS))
Kind of ya to offer, Ennis. But that ain't the point. I wouldn' wish that pup tent on anyone, especially you. We could just share the tent here in camp and watch the sheep in the day.
((stifles a YAWN)) You got the coffee ready yet?
((takes a drink from the cup Ennis gives him))
Asides, as I've said before. I can't cook for nothin. About the only thing I can do is handle a can-opener. ((Grins at Ennis again))
((looks at the bananas Ennis's fried this morning.)) Hey that's pretty good, right there. I mean, they don't look too crunchy. I wouldn't mind having one of those bananas while they're just startin' to get hard, but'll still melt in your mouth.
