During the day Ennis looked across a great gulf and sometimes saw Jack, a small dot moving across a high meadow as an insect moves across a tablecloth; Jack, in his dark camp, saw Ennis as night fire, a red spark on the huge black mass of mountain.

A nice thing about "She got lucky" is how well it's spoken.  The tone of voide and rising intonation.

On the DVD (probably) i saw another version of that scene and Jake says the line differently, and it's not nearly as good as what's in the ffilm.

yeah i saw that too, it's on one of the extra documentaries....I don't like hearing it, because it ruins my illusion that it was only said once and not a practised line. Sad

I love it everytime Jack says "tell you what", whether it be in book or film. Knowingly or unknowingly, i've started saying it myself, and it always makes me think of jack when i say it!! what a loser i am!

No definitely NOT a loser. Just a rememberer!!

I use phrases from the movie and book all the time in my everyday life and always makes me smile, cry a bit and  remember. Makes my life richer.

Without getting up he threw deadwood on the fire, the sparks flying up with their truths and lies, a few hot points of fire landing on their hands and faces, not for the first time, and they rolled down into the dirt. One thing never changed: the brilliant charge of their infrequent couplings was darkened by the sense of time flying, never enough time, never enough.

i love me a run-on sentence....


They had a high-time supper by the fire, a can of beans each, fried potatoes and a quart of whiskey on shares, sat with their backs against a log, boot soles and copper jeans rivets hot, swapping the bottle while the lavender sky emptied of color and the chill air drained down, drinking, smoking cigarettes, getting up every now and then to piss, firelight throwing a sparkle in the arched stream, tossing sticks on the fire to keep the talk going, talking horses and rodeo, roughstock events, wrecks and injuries sustained, the submarine Thresher lost two months earlier with all hands and how it must have been in the last doomed minutes, dogs each had owned and known, the draft, Jack's home ranch where his father and mother held on, Ennis's family place folded years ago after his folks died, the older brother in Signal and a married sister in Casper.

There were only the two of them on the mountain flying in the euphoric, bitter air, looking down on the hawk's back and the crawling lights of vehicles on the plain below, suspended above ordinary affairs and distant from tame ranch dogs barking in the dark hours.

The stale coffee is boiling up but he catches it before it goes over the side, pours it into a stained cup and blows on the black liquid, lets a panel of the dream slide forward. If he does not force his attention on it, it might stoke the day, rewarm that old, cold time on the mountain when they owned the world and nothing seemed wrong.

And he would wake sometimes in grief, sometimes with the old sense of joy and release; the pillow sometimes wet, sometimes the sheets.

There was some open space between what he knew and what he tried to believe..........

This is my all time favourite. Just perfect.

  "What Jack remembered and craved in a way that he could neither help nor understand..."

That whole paragraph of the story is just perfect. Love it.

From the movie, this always makes me smile: 'It ain't going nowhere. Let it be."

In fact, a lot of my favourite quotes are Jack's.

Ennis's breath came slow and quiet, he hummed, rocked a little in the sparklight end Jack leaned against the steady heartbeat...
Later, that dozy embrace solidified in his memory as the single moment of artless, charmed happiness...
Let be, let be.
