The "I LOVE everything Jack" thread
OldeSoul:
I love when Jack says that Bobby's teacher doesn't like him because he "complains too much"- it shows he cares, unlike Lureen who won't even call for a tutor.
Brown Eyes:
I love Jack's clumsiness because it's actually endearing... he's graceful when he doesn't know it.
ednbarby:
I love Jack's bitching - "That pup tent smells like cat piss or worse," "Ya know, I'm commutin' 4 hours a day...," "Ya won't get much sleep, I can tell ya that," "Aguirre got all over my case like I was s'posed to control the weather," "Beats workin' for my old man - can't please my old man no way," "Why powder your nose just to go home and go to bed?" "No more beans!"
As you guys mentioned, I love it all the more when he says "I complain too much" because it's just about the essence of him (in not such a negative way, of course), and he sums it up himself in that one little phrase.
OldeSoul:
I love watching Jack's face in the scene right before he tells Ennis that's the most Ennis has spoken in two weeks- you can tell he's just enjoying listening to Ennis talk, listening to his voice.

I love how Jack reminds all the idealists and dreamers in the world that it is OK to dream and have ideals. I love him because he makes whining and complaining a positive trait! I love how he combines masculinity with tenderness. I love how he never stops loving.
