Question (Spoiler)


Before he busted Paden and Jake out of jail, what was Emmett whittling while he was sitting on the gallows?

reply

I assume that he was whittling a firewitch or something to get the fire going.

reply

He's whittling out the flute for Augie that he gives him later in the movie.

reply

This is the correct answer.

reply

In the director's cut we see that after he finishes the flute, Emmett takes out a bigger piece of wood and begins whittling and sandpapering it and then varnishing it. (Remember, he was there all night.) At the end, before he rides off, he gives the Rosanna Arquette character a nice hand-made dildo and says, "Here--this'll keep you company until I get back."

Seriously?! I'm watching now and am for sure checking that out! Hard to believe but that is too funny!

reply

Absolutely! Also, he anachronistically slips 3 or 4 D-cells into it before giving it to her.
