- “The shirt seemed heavy until he saw there was another shirt inside it, the sleeves carefully worked down inside Jack’s sleeves. It was his own plaid shirt, lost, he’d thought, long ago in some damn laundry, his dirty shirt, the pocket ripped, buttons missing, stolen by Jack and hidden here inside Jack’s own shirt, the pair like two skins, one inside the other, two in one.”

Jack To Ennis

In one instance, it is said as a greeting as Jack visits his house (when Alma catches them kissing outside), in another instance, it is said in amazement, and it is said in anger at a different moment. As time passes, Ennis' greeting spans the years of their relationship together...
