In the 2004 screenplay/shooting script, Jack and Ennis received a scary interruption from the neighbors at the Motel Siesta in 1967:
A beat.
JACK
Swear to God I didn't know we was going
to get into this again. (pause) Yeah, I
did. Red-lined all the way, couldn't get
here fast enough. What about you?
Ennis starts to get dressed.
ENNIS
Me? I don't know.
JACK
So, what you think now? You know,
about what we got to do.
ENNIS
What we got to do is get dressed and find
some food. I'm starvin'.
Just then, there's a loud knock on the door. A deep voice bellows from outside.
MAN
(v.o.)
You in there? Sally, you in there? C'mon
now.
The boys freeze. Terror.
Then, a woman's voice from outside, further away.
SALLY
(v.o.)
You blind? We're down here.
A beat ... JACK takes a deep breath, as they hear footsteps retreat.
ENNIS throws on his shirt, looks down at his shaking hands, then at Jack.
ENNIS
Son of a bitch. I should go.
He heads for the door.
JACK
Wait.
