"They went off in Jack's truck, bought a bottle of whiskey and within twenty minutes were in the Motel Siesta jouncing a bed.  A few handfuls of hail rattled against the window, followed by rain and slippery wind banging the unsecured door of the next room then and through the night."  [story]

In the motel, story Ennis told Jack about his gastrodynia, or gut cramps he experienced at their parting four years earlier.

Everything about the balcony scene was hasty and heartfelt.

"J" is junkier
« Reply #11144 on: February 14, 2007, 10:40:25 am »
As Jack was being introduced to Alma inside the apartment, he could see that Ennis and Alma's furniture was junkier than anything at his house.  But he probably wasn't thinking about the furniture.




Happy Valentine's Day!

"M" is mark

Alma thought Jack and Ennis had overstepped the mark when she saw them embracing, leaving its mark on her throughout her marriage.

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.

"O" is optimum

Jack redlined it all the way to Riverton, hoping for the optimum result of his trip, and he was not disappointed.

Pillow talk at the Motel Siesta:

Ennis:  "Army didn't get you?"

Jack:  "They can't get no use out a me.  Got some crushed vertebrates.  And a stress fracture, the arm bone here, you know how bullridin you're always leverin it off your thigh? -- she gives a little ever time you do it.  Even if you tape it good you break it a little goddamn bit at a time.  Tell you what, hurts like a bitch afterwards.  Had a busted leg.  Busted in three places.  Come off the bull and it was a big bull with a lot a drop, he got rid a me in about three flat and he come after me and he was sure faster.  Lucky enough.  Friend a mine got his oil checked with a horn dipstick and that was all she wrote.  Bunch a other things, fuckin busted ribs, sprains and pains, torn ligaments.  See, it ain't like it was in my daddy's time.  It's guys with money go to college, trained athaletes.  You got a have some money to rodeo now.  Lureen's old man wouldn't give me a dime if I dropped it, except one way.  And I know enough about the game now so I see that I ain't never goin a be on the bubble.  Other reasons.  I'm gettin out while I still can walk."  [story]
