After not seeing Jack for four years, Ennis welcomed him with open arms.

Jack gives Ennis an xpletive-laden account of his life:

"I made three fuckin' thousand dollars that year.  Fuckin' starved.  Had to borrow everthing but a toothrush from other guys.  Drove grooves across Texas.  Half the time under that cunt truck fixin' it.  Anyway, I didn't never think about losin'.  Lureen?  There's some serious money there.  Her old man's got it.  Got this farm-machinery business.  Course he don't let her have none a the money, and he hates my fuckin' guts, so it's a hard go now but one a these days...."

ALMA sits at the kitchen table, dishevelled, hasn't slept all night.  Nervous, a cup of coffee in front of her.

Alma had every reason to be waiting dourly to see what the new day would bring.

def - Silently ill-humored; gloomy:

The sight of her husband in the arms of a man was a real eye-opening experience for Alma.

[Meryl]

As Alma watches Ennis hurriedly packing for a getaway with Jack, she musters a little feistiness with with "You know, your friend could come inside, have a cup of coffee...we ain't poison or nothin'."
