did anyone make out what Daniel says at the end of the baptism?
it's something about the pipeline i believe.

this part actually got a lot of laughs when I saw it. Though I could only make out the word pipeline, I always figured he said something along the lines of "all this for a pipeline." The things we put ourselves through to get what we want.

and he says it loud enough that Eli hears it, right (unless i'm imaging that there is an Eli reaction shot afterwards)? that's telling - Eli doesn't really care if Daniel is truly converted, he just wants to increase numbers/have more control and build status.

speaking of screenshots, i thought there were DVD screeners out there. i am wanting to see a grab of the final shot before credits roll.

btw, whomever mentioned the cross, that was a very keen observation - relating it back to when the girl pinned it on the worker and Eli's blasphemy. i remember wondering why PT held on the passing of the cross when they were going through the dead worker's things.

I'm finally going and seeing it for the second time tomorrow.  I'll try and remember to pay close attention during the end scene and see if I can crack the case of the glass/plastic vodka/water bottle.

After he mumbles "this for a pipeline" or something to that effect, doesn't he get up and walk over to eli (with the blood of lamb music playing), shakes eli's hand and says something to him which the audience cannot hear? But as he walks into the crowd we see a very concerned look on eli's face. Did this happen, i cannot remember, but it's nagging me. What do you think he said? I can only imagine it was like something he said eariler..."I'm going to bury you..." Which is probably the next scene after "i'm finished", no?

I just got back from seeing it again, and that bit bugged me in a way that it hadn't the first time I saw the film.  I really, really want to know what Daniel whispers.

Also, I thought it was vodka the first time around, but now I'm about 98% convinced that it's water.  And it's definitely a glass bottle.  I think it's like picolas suggested, it's a used liquor bottle that he now uses as a water bottle.

After reading most of the script I've become somewhat disappointed with how much the film departs from the script. I realize the film still runs pretty long but I'd say too many of the things that didn't make it were more than worthy. One dramatic example is the altered final sequence in which Daniel originally throws Eli's dead body down the bowling alley shoot thing, I mean how is that not the coolest shit ever?! Another personal favorite is the conversation between Daniel and Abel at the derrick where Daniel tells him his son is a lunatic while his men are "fishin" for a piece of a broken bit or something. And the whole sequence at the beginning of the 1927 section where H.W. goes back to Little Boston. There are so many more, is it possible they were pressed for time and money? If so that is a real shame.

so there are no more scenes directly between Eli and Daniel after the salvation scene until the finale, correct?

if what he says that is not heard is a second death threat as others have mentioned, then it makes perfect sense that Eli would leave. if i recall correctly, isn't there a scene of Daniel starring intensely as Eli is leaving on the train? then when they meet again at the end, Daniel now fulfills his promise given at the church.

p.s. it's quite funny the way he says "yes, i do."
and
"give me the blood lord and let me get away."

+++++++++++++
as far as Montana - isn't that a limited one week engagement and i'm sure it's in an infinite amount of more theaters than Blood.
