Ennis (looking back at Jack):

You shut up about Alma. This ain't her fault.

(Jack looks pained)

Bottom line is, we're around each other and
this thing grabs hold of us again, in the
wrong place, in the wrong time, an' we're dead.

Ennis: There was these two old guys ranched together down home, Earl and Rich.They was a joke in town, even tough they was pretty tough old birds. They found Earl dead in a irrigation ditch. They'd took a tire iron to him, spurred him up, drug him around by his dick till it pulled off...

Jack, with horror in his eyes: "You seen this?"

jackster · « **Reply #10173 on:** Sep 06, 2007, 11:55 AM »

Ennis:

Yeah, I was whut, nine years old . . . . (flashback of a disturbed look on a very young Ennis)

My dad he, he made sure me an' my brother seen it . .

Hell, for all I know he done the job . . .

Two guys livin together? No way.

Ya' know we can get together once an' while, way the hell out in the middle a' nowhere, but . . .

(Jack looking at Ennis with a questioning look on his face)

"Once in a while...ever' four fu**in' years?"

bruxa23 · « **Reply #10175 on:** Sep 06, 2007, 02:36 PM »

Ennis:If you can't fix it, Jack, you gotta stand it.

dumbassmule · « **Reply #10176 on:** Sep 06, 2007, 03:45 PM »

Jack's heart is breaking.

"Fer how long?' he asks, sadly, resigned that his dream is being shattered before his very eyes.

jackster · « **Reply #10177 on:** Sep 06, 2007, 03:47 PM »

Ennis:

Long as we can ride it.

There ain't no reins on this one.

(Jack gently caresses Ennis's ear and cheek)

Melancholy guitar music plays as the scene shifts to Alma and Jenny swinging in the creaking swings. We hear Ennis' voice shouting muffled in the background:

"It's nearly suppertime, where the hell ya think yer goin'?"

chameau · « **Reply #10179 on:** Sep 08, 2007, 09:24 PM »

Alma:

Supper's on the stove!

jackster · « **Reply #10180 on:** Sep 09, 2007, 12:54 PM »

Ennis: No one's eatin' unless you're servin' it!!

[Cham - you skipped an angry interchange here . . .

]

Alma: To work.

Ennis: Yeah, I thought you had the day off.

Alma: Well you thought wrong!

Ennis: The girls need to be fed.

Alma: Well you take care of it!

Ennis: Alma, . . Alma, . . . ALMA!!

(then: Supper’s on the stove!)

chameau · « **Reply #10181 on:** Sep 09, 2007, 01:14 PM »

Ennis (to the girls):

Hey... you gilrs need a push?

Girls: No.

dumbassmule · « **Reply #10182 on:** Sep 09, 2007, 01:59 PM »

Ennis angrily kicks a tar bucket before striding quickly up the steps to the apartment.

Next scene: Our boy Jack is up on a combine, shouting down to a group of leery good ol' boys with too much cash to burn.

"Listen to her purr, gentlemen. You ain't gonna get that with your Caddie. I told you she could do it, now lemme show ya'!"

Jack gives the good ol' boys a demonstration of the Versatile combine's talents.

jackster · « **Reply #10183 on:** Sep 12, 2007, 06:00 AM »

Scene inside Lureens nicely appointed office, Jack's bullriding belt buckles mounted and displayed on the wall behind her. Two well dressed farmers glance out the window at Jack's freewheeling demonstration of the fancy farm equipment

Farmer#1: Didn't that piss-ant use to ride the bulls?

Farmer#2: He used to try . . . .

Lureen looks over at them, mildly disappointed.

dumbassmule · « **Reply #10184 on:** Sep 12, 2007, 01:07 PM »

Next scene:
Alma comes home, carrying a brown paper bag full of groceries. She sets it on the table and glances at the mail. Besides the black and white grocery store flyer with honey on special for $1.49, she sees a postcard. Flipping it over, she reads that Jack will be seeing Ennis in a coupla weeks and that the fish should be jumping. She hears a door slam and quickly hides the postcard inside the flyer.

New scene:
Jack comes down the hall to Lureen's office

"Honey...you seen my blue parka?"

jackster · « **Reply #10185 on:** Sep 12, 2007, 07:08 PM »

Lureen:

No, but I see that HOT bod poured into your blue jeans . . . .

Oh wait, that's a different movie . . . .

Lureen: (not even bothering to look up!!

)

Um, last time I seen it you was in it, day we had that big ice storm.

hpv · « **Reply #10186 on:** Sep 13, 2007, 06:21 AM »

Jack: Well, I could of swore I left it here.

dumbassmule · « **Reply #10187 on:** Sep 13, 2007, 08:18 AM »

Lureen:

"You know, you been going up to Wyoming all these years, why can't your buddy come down here to Texas and fish??"

hpv · « **Reply #10188 on:** Sep 13, 2007, 08:54 AM »

'Cause the Big Horn Mountains ain't in Texas. Doubt his pickup would make it this far anyways.

chameau · « **Reply #10189 on:** Sep 16, 2007, 08:57 PM »

Lureen:

'Cause the new models coming in this week, remember... and you're the best combine salesman we got... the only combine salesman, in fact. Daddy can't drive these newfangled combines.

proulxfan · « **Reply #10190 on:** Sep 17, 2007, 06:53 PM »

Jack:

Well, I'll only be gone a week. That is unless I freeze to death, and I might freeze if I don't find that parka.

dumbassmule · « **Reply #10191 on:** Sep 20, 2007, 04:23 PM »

Lureen:

"Well, I don't have your goddam parka. You know you're worse than Bobby when it comes to losin' stuff."

hpv · « **Reply #10192 on:** Sep 21, 2007, 06:05 PM »

Speaking of Bobby, did you call the school back yet about getting a tutor?

City Slickin' Cowboy · « **Reply #10193 on:** Sep 21, 2007, 07:24 PM »

I thought you were gonna call?

hpv · « **Reply #10194 on:** Sep 22, 2007, 10:33 AM »

Jack: That teacher don't like me - I complain too much - now it's your turn to call.

dumbassmule · « **Reply #10195 on:** Sep 23, 2007, 02:02 PM »

Lureen, looking totally bored with the whole conversation:

"Right. oh, ok, so fine. I'll just, I'll call later," she says, without even bothering to tear herself away from her adding machine.

Jack just looks at her, baffled by her seeming indifference to their only child's education.

"Right....right," Jack murmurs, as he goes over to Lureen, bends over, gives her a dry peck on the lips.

"I got fourteen hours a drivin' ahead a me", he says, softly.

"See, now, it don't seem fair", Lureen says, with exasperation, "You goin' up there two, three, times a year and him never comin' here," in a quiet, sing-songy giving up kinda tone.

Jack turns around in the hallway, headin' out, and gives her a vague wave.

New Scene in the DelMar apartment:
Ennis is packing for his fishin' trip, going through the closet while the radio blares in the background. Ennis picks one of his shirts, takes a quick wiff of the collar and stuffs it in his duffel bag. He moves out to the kitchen grabbing his thermos and kissing his two young daughters on the way.

ALMA (readin' through the newspaper ignoring Ennis):
Ennis, they got a openin' over at the power company, might be good pay.

ENNIS:
Uh, clumsy as I am, I'd probably get electrocuted.

dumbassmule · « **Reply #10197 on:** Sep 25, 2007, 12:33 PM »

Hey, what gives?

Hey, what gives?

OT -

I think there was a slight miss-step here . . . . next line is:

ALMA JR.:

Daddy, the church picnic's next weekend.
Will you be back from fishin' by next week weekend?

dumbassmule · « **Reply #10199 on:** Sep 25, 2007, 01:40 PM »

Ennis, leaning in toward the girls playing on the living room floor:

"Well, alright, as long as I don't have to sing! Uuh?" as the girls giggle and one of them says playfully, "Daaaadiieeeeeee!"

Ennis grabs his wicker basket off the table where Alma is sitting, reading the paper, and his hat off the rack, preparing to fly out the door, his feet not quite touching the floor in his excitement to see his man Jack.
