201 {MeIissa by The Allman Brothers playing] 202 You don't say much, but you get your point across. 203 Sorry. l didn't mean to be rude. 204 [Ennis clearing throat] 205 All right. 206 You're staying on your feet, cowboy. 207 Excuse me, darling. 208 So l'll pick you and Jenny up next weekend, after church. 209 Fine. 210 You all right? 211 Yes. 212 Are you sure? 213 Daddy, l was thinking, what with the new baby and all... 214 Ma and Monroe have been awful strict on me. 215 More on me than Jenny even. 216 l was thinking, maybe l could.... 217 Maybe l could come stay with you. 218 l'd be an awful good help, l know l would. 219 Now, you know l ain't set up for that. 220 With the roundup coming... 221 l won't ever be home. 222 lt's all right, Daddy. 223 l'm not saying that l wouldn't-- lt's all right, l understand. 224 Well, see you on Sunday, then. 225 Bye. 226 Bye, sweetheart. 227 Going to snow tonight for sure. 228 Yup. 229 All this time and you ain't found nobody else to marry? 230 l been putting the blocks... 231 to a good-looking little gal over in Riverton. 232 She's a waitress. Wants to go to nursing school or something. 233 l don't know. 234 What about you and Lureen? 235 Lureen's good at making hard deals in the machinery business... 236 but as far as our marriage goes... 237 we could do it over the phone. 238 l kind of got this thing going with... 239 a ranch foreman's wife over in Rutters. 240 What? l'm bound to get shot... 241 by Lureen or her husband each time l slip off to see her. 242 You probably deserve it. 243 Tell you what. 244 The truth is... 245 sometimes l miss you so much, l can hardly stand it. 246 [truck door closing] 247 l guess l'll head up on to Lightning Flat. 248 See the folks for a day or two. 249 There's something l been meaning to tell you, bud. 250 Well, it's likely November before l can come out here again.
