Prior to their arrival at the Motel Siesta, story Jack and Ennis had stopped somewhere to buy a bottle of whiskey.

"C" is cavernous
« Reply #10213 on: January 15, 2007, 08:42:46 pm »
After leaving Aguirre's trailer office Jack and Ennis head out to start drinking at 8:30 at a local club:

The barroom is large and cavernous. All the chairs are stacked upside-down on the tables. It's empty except for a bartender and waitress.
Ennis and Jack sit at the bar, each nurses a longneck.
Ennis peels the label from his bottle.
A few empties sit in front of Jack.     [screenplay]

When Jack generously offered to buy Jimbo a beer, Jimbo, equally altruistic, urged Jack to economize.

"F" is fretted
« Reply #10216 on: January 16, 2007, 12:59:57 am »
In the 2003 screenplay, Ennis Del Mar fretted over his first beer with Jack Twist.  The waitress wanted to know if he was going to grow flowers in the bottle, and there was Ennis with but a dollar in his pocket.  Jack agreed to take care of the tab.

"G" is gassed
« Reply #10217 on: January 16, 2007, 01:19:06 am »
Jack and Ennis stopped and bought a bottle of whiskey so they could get gassed in the Siesta Motel.  Next day, they gassed up the pickup and headed into the mountains.

"H" is handclasp
« Reply #10218 on: January 16, 2007, 01:35:14 am »
After a brief introduction consisting of an exchange of names and a handclasp, Jack and Ennis set out for the local bar.  As Jack said in the trailer, "Well, since we're gonna be workin' together, I reckon it's time we start drinkin' together."

def. = handshake

Ennis seemed to consume intoxicating beverages often, and in large quantities.
