"Jack, I swear..." What do you think Ennis meant by that?
KristinDaBomb:
When he says that beautiful line, I always think he means he is so heartbroken that he lost him and he can't believe it happened.

It was the perfect line though wasn't it? I can' imagine anything else he could have said.
A perfect but heartbreaking ending...

I agree 100% with that! Anyway, this thread has run so long because there are so many ways to take and hear that line. I love hearing every different insight and idea about it and welcome you too KrisDaBomb! Nice to have ya.
SFEnnisSF:
So, who else here has noticed that the audio of the line "I swear" is different on the DVD than it is/was on the film in theatres?
The version on the DVD sounds weak and feeble, and there were a lot of complaints on IMDB when the DVD came out of folks asking "what was the last line?" On the film versions, it's pronounced more clearly, with more sincerity and drive behind it.
Now, you know I saw it 45 times in the theatre before the DVD came out. When I watched the DVD at home, and the line was said in that different audio take, I almost fell out of my chair! Why the two different audio takes has always been beyond me? But I'll prefer watching the FILM in theatres over the DVD anytime, especially for this reason alone.
