Randall crumpled the paper and threw it against the wall.

Ennis DelMar was going down from Brokeback. He and Jack weren't
talking. He had punched Jack. They had been playin around as always.
Jack had accidentally busted his nose. He tried to see if it was broken.
As jack was using his own shirt to wipe the blood. Ennis had just slugged
him. He was mystified, why had he done that? He wasn't mad, zactly.
He was all mixed up.. He didnt know why he felt so dam bad. He had
probly lost the only good friend he ever had. In all his born days he never
had such a good friend as Jack.. Now it is done.
What in hell did i do with my darn shirt.?? Damned Aguirre anyway.

Jack trailed behind Lureen as she pushed the grocery cart down the aisle. He hated going to the grocery store but he figured that as a new husband, this was one of the things he was supposed to do. Besides, she was six months pregnant and it was probably a good idea for him to help with lifting and carrying the grocery bags.
“What kind of jam do you like, Jack? Strawberry or raspberry?”
He shrugged. “Anything’s fine, honey. I don’t really notice, I just like something sweet on my toast.”
“Peanut butter? Skippy or Jif?”
“What’s wrong with the store brand?” he said, picking up the IGA jar. “That’s what my momma always bought. We couldn’t afford the fancy stuff.”
“Oh Jack,” she said, frowning. “There is such a big difference between the real brands and the grocery store brand! My momma only bought Skippy, so I’ll do the same.”
They continued down the aisle, Lureen pausing to put a can of Bush’s beans in the cart.
“No, don’t buy those…buy these instead,” said Jack, as he handed her a can of Bettermost beans.
“No, not these. I hate Bettermost! They are all mushy and too sweet.”
“They’re my favorite.”
Lureen grimaced. “They’re cheap and nasty, Jack. We can afford decent beans. My momma always bought Bush’s.”
Jack shrugged. “Fine. Whatever.”

Ennis was shopping with Cassie in the grocery store
Cassie always wanted such wierd things, like condiments, and white wine.
Not things that Ennis was used to.
But then they got to the paper ailse.
He picked up a box of Kleenex. He didn't ever see all these fancy pictures on the tissue boxes before. Not like he would ever have noticed them before.
He picked up a box with pictures of trees, he stared at them.
Cassie called out to him, "did you get those olives and anchovies?"
He stared at the box, why was the wind blowing so loudly right here in this grocery store?
He put down the box and went back to Cassie, he didn't ask her what anchovies are.
