YOUNG JACK:
((Slips the crunchy, charred banana into his mouth.... tries to keep from spitting it out again.))
((munches it and swallows with difficulty))
That's.... not too good.... Maybe we don't have to cook 'em that long. Just get it nice and soft...
((smiles suddenly and gets up to grab a raw one from the rack))
** Kids, don't ever eat raw fruit without your parents permission. **
((sits back down next to Ennis and looks him in the eye before concentrating fully on the banana... He peels it veeerrry slowly, letting the banana peel down loosely as he reveals the white fruit beneath. He lifts it up to his lips and gently coaxes it into his mouth with his tongue...))

Young Ennis:
%% Well thats the las' meal I cook for 'em. Nobody I know likes their bananas all soft and squishy like....wait..what's he doin? Why's he eatin' like that? I don't think I could move right about now...%%
Well, bud if you don' like ma cookin', and ya think you can do better, I'd be happy to let you take over. I never hear nobody else complain' about my banana.
((Ennis attempts to get up, but decides he better sit a spell and try not to look at Jack, who right about now is eating that banana like he never saw no other person eat it that way))
** I want to thank my understudy, Courtney for keeping Ennis real and dignified.
She did one hell of a job, and I appreciate it.**
