Favorite Ennis del Mar line

<< < (6/8) > >>

OddlyEven:
None of these were my favorite line from Ennis, but I chose the Jack F*ckin' Twist line. I think my true favorite line was the one where he warns Jack about "this thing between us, grabs hold of us...and we're both dead." It's not the exact quote...but I love hearing him say it.

Jeff Wrangler:
Hands down, "Jack fuckin' Twist." When Ennis steps out on the landing, looks down at Jack, and utters that line, I swear he's the happiest we ever see him!

TJ:
The only things that Ennis Del Mar said to Jack Twist before Alma opened the door the 2nd time in 1967 in the book were "son of a bitch" and "little darlin." And, in the book, Jack ran up the stairs, two at a time, to the landing where Ennis was standing. Both of them said, "son of a bitch;" but, I don't think that they were calling each other that, they were just excited to see each other and were at a loss for words. IMO, "son of a bitch" could be interpreted as "Boy howdy! I never thought I would see you again and I sure am too excited to think of something else to say!"

While a modern Ennis might have used the "F-ing" word in talking to a friend he had not seen in several years, back in 1967, the country guys that I was around would have only used the "F-ing" word as the middle or first name of someone they hated with a passion.

Voted for the harmonica line, I just love it and Jack laughs and Ennis smiles. *sighs*

  I agree with you on this one too Impish!!  It's not fair to vote for only one.

I also liked "Thats the most I've spoke in a year."

Has to be

"Jack, I swear..."

Just devastating.
