"Jack, I swear..." What do you think Ennis meant by that?

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.

Well Eric,
I never would have known the difference had it not been for you!
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to view it on the big screen!
That was a priceless gift!

I haven't noticed that myself, but I know someone who has two versions -- a DVD and a downloaded computer one -- and has always said that line is different in the two.

I know I've heard people say that they think he says "I'll swear..." instead of "I swear..."
And, honestly I can see how that mistake could be made if you were a first time viewer and/or hadn't read the story.

Eric, I have a copy that was sent to reviewers and members of the Academy... and on it, at least, there's no difference. I didn't note any. Maybe my DVD is better qualilty than what's being sold in the USA?
