Damn that Twist...was just about ta tell him couldn't make August...an he goes tellin' how bad he misses me. Guess Ah 's just have ta wait till later...hate ta tell 'm at all. Don't he knows how much Ah miss him? ...Nothin' Ah'd like better than ta be with 'm all the time like we's up here...but...just can't be so...
My favorite would have to be the scene where Jack gets Ennis's postcard that says "You Bet" Can't out see the smile on his face and the look in his eyes?
Always hated John Twist for saying it but I guess it needs to be there to let Ennis know that it was indeed a tire iron...
Wish Annie Proulx had come up with something to COMFORT Ennis when he's hurting so badly.
