Story line you wish made it into the film...
serious crayons:
I picked "That's one of two things" because, as others have pointed out, it would have opened an opportunity to show intimacy in their later years. :-*
Like mvansand, I think that most of those Story Ennis lines would have sounded odd coming from Movie Ennis.
"I sure wrang it out" would have been fun, though (if also a bit out of character for Movie Ennis). But as I've said before, I think this line is already illustrated in the postcard scene, anyway.

Just barely audible, so that you'd wonder if you hadn't read the short story if he really said it. I know it's not necessary - it just woulda made me feel good. Almost as good as that kiss made me feel. ;)

I agree. I love this line in the short story. I guess I understand why it isn't in there - it just wouldn't have fit Ennis's character but still ... I can't tell ya' how much I'd love to hear Ennis say that in the reunion scene. Even if it was barely audible!! I'd take anything *lol* I think that line puts it all out there for Jack that Ennis loves him as much as we (readers/audience) know he does. So sweet.

To me this lets Jack (and us) know that Ennis had been thinking of Jack all these years too, and that he regretted getting married perhaps.

Totally agreed. I picked that one too.
