"Sending up a prayer of thanks." Not only is it a totally happy and contented moment, but it shows just how much Ennis missed Jack and never expected to see him again. And then he implicitly says so to Jack! It's almost an outright endearment!

What a hard descicion. I would have picked "ain't no reigns on this one", too, but it's not there.
So I took "Huh?". I love, love love all of Ennis's huhs, huns, hmms and all those little sounds, his humming. It's so typical Ennis.

I picked "Huuhh?" Thanks to Ennis, I am saying this a lot these days!

Ennis is so cute!

My favorite Ennis quote is "You're gonna scare them sheep away with that harmonica playing" and then the cute smile he flashes to Jack just after he says it. :)

Hi David925  :)

I picked the whiskey line, but that one about the harmonica ("You'll run them sheep off again if y' don't quiet down") is my second favorite, too, not to mention the smile that follows it. *sigh*

"Hunh" is pretty great, too!  8)

chose this cause it shows how uncomplaining Ennis is, and how he chooses to keep the rules...one thing that keeps them hidden.

"'we're s'posed a guard the sheep, not eat 'em"
"Sometimes I miss you so much I can hardly stand it..."

I finally found an Indonesian-translated version of BBM short story!!!!!
Ye-haww!!

I picked the "coffeepot looking for the handle" line because it plays such a prominent role in one of my favorite BetterMost threads.
 ;)

And, it's sad that we could only pick one!

My fave is not on the list, so I voted for the harmonica line as a second best.

 :laugh:

My fave line is when Ennis is talking to Jack, and says that all rodeo cowboys is fuckups.  He then gives a glance to Jack, knowing the reaction.....it's sooooo funny the way he needles Jack.


Tell him when l come up to him and ask to play the record, l'm gonna say: ''Voulez-vous jouer ce disque?''
'Voulez-vous, will you kiss my dick?'
Will you play my record? One-track mind!

My favourite Ennis line isn't on the list:

"He had balls on him big as apples."
