Minute Detail - IMO The Best Line Delivery in the Movie
MaineWriter:
Actually, it's a pair of khaki shorts and a white tee shirt that says VERSATILE across the front. Jack gave him both, the versatile comes from a sales promotion at Newsome's, but it can be read two ways, I think ;)

Well, to get back to the topic now, my favorite and the one where I start crying every time is the "You know it could be like this, just like this, always". one there's something about the way he varies the inflections between the first part and the second that has a world of longing in it to my ears. And that fact that it couldnt ]be like this, even if Ennis agreed to live with him, in the world they lived in, always makes me cry.. Also, I love the way jack rephrases (course Annie Proulx is responsible for that) so the Never enough time, never enough line gets me too. Tell ya what, the truth is Jake/Jack could read the phone book and I'd probably end up sobbing at this point.....

Mmmm-yeah. I love it whenever one of them says the other's name. That's when you know it's a believable love story, too - when you ache to hear each character do that, and it seems like they do it way too seldom.
Lessee if I can name all of them (and I'm sure all y'all will help me out if I can't):
Your parents just stop at Ennis?
Nice to know you, Ennis Del Mar.
What in hell happened, Ennis?
We gotta stick this out, Jack.
Jack's an old fishin' buddy.
Jack F***in' Twist!
You're a real thinker, there, Jack.
Jack F***in' Twist.
I'm not you, Ennis.
I can't stand this no more, Jack.
I feel awful bad about Jack. Can't begin to say how bad I feel.
Jack, I swear.
Yep. Way too seldom. Never enough time. Never enough.

Leslie,
Happy to hear you think of Ennis as versatile in one capacity since he makes up for it with rigidity in so many others.
All is not lost for him yet, it seems.

Gee, I don't know, he looked pretty good in that tank top and pajamas in the bedroom scene ...
Oh! I have to add that my other favorite line is "I'm just sending up a prayer of thanks." That, and "I can't stand this no more, Jack," are as close as Ennis ever comes to verbally expressing ... you know.
