We all know the grief, but how about the humor, the fun stuff?

Rayn, I turn the subtitle feature on when I can't understand a line. I also have the "Story to Screenplay" book which I recommend. After whooping when Ennis nails the elk  Jack says "Let's get a move on. Don't want the Game and Fish catch us with no elk." They obviously don't have a license so don't want to get caught.

In "Ed Wood" with Johnny Depp, the cops come by while they are shooting a scene in public. Ed/Johnny says, "We don't have a permit. RUN!" Which would also be apt in this case.

There are some subtle things (like the watch) that I hadn't noticed. Always an excuse to watch it agin!

Oops - I got sidetracked and forgot to mention what I thought was funny. Definitely Lureen at the T-day dinner table. I love the scene where Ennis is going to see Jack after 4 years and he starts sitting by the window early in the day, watching for Jack, nervously flicking his Bic, drinking beer and smoking but not moving away from the window. The awkward pause in Aguirre's trailer before the boys realize they are 'dismissed.'

richardg49:
There are some amusing 'sight gags', too:

1. The sign on Aguirre's trailer door: 'Trespassers will be shot. Survivors will be shot again'.

2. The name 'Versatile' on the tractor Jack is driving with his son Bobby.

3. The newpaper ad for 'Honey' just before the scene cuts to Jack saying to Lureen, 'Honey, have you seen my blue parka?'

Oh, ok, Jack says that so fast I could never understand it.... I'm in Asia with a DVD that only has one language on the subtitles, no English, so I can't use the subtitle feature, though I wish I could.  Thanks Coffeecat33!
And thanks for your additions to the fun...   Hey let's remember them jumpin' naked into the river ... I always get a kick out of that, what a fun thing to do!

The expression of Ennis's face the morning after the FNIT when he first sits up...Jack saying "give 'em hell" when Ennis talks about going up to the sheep before the FNIT...

I USED to laugh outloud every time I'd see ther scene where Ennis punches Jack ouit...until asomeone explained to me that Ennis is informing Jack (a sort of pre-inform) that "it ain't gonna be that way." Jack was perefctly cheerful when he told Ennis "says, 'Bring 'em down'"...he doesn't realize that Ennis's plans are exactly the same as thery were at the beginning of the summer--that's why Ennis is so miserable about missing "a month's pay," and Jack doesn't seem to giver a damn.

Katie77:
I think it was more the fact that their "love in" on the mountain was going to be over, that hurt Ennis more, than the one months pay......

I too see that scene of Ennis waking up the morning after the FNIT...hair ruffled, jeans around his knees, remembering, thinking to himself "What the f***".....,
no doubt had a huge headache too......
