Plot hole: When Ellie leaves Ft. Smith on a whiskey boat, she's just been seen with the morning sickness a day or two before. When she leaves the whiskey boat, somewhere between Arkansas and Nebraska, she says she's pregnant but is not showing at all. Even the snaggle-toothed frontier weirdo played by Steve Buscemi remarks that, "You ain't gonna be havin' no baby fer a while yet." The day she gets to Clara's, near Ogallala, Nebraska, she has the baby. Pregnancy lasts nine months. Morning sickness usually begins at about six weeks into it. Ft. Smith, Arkansas, to Ogallala is 561 miles. Even just walking three miles an hour for eight hours a day, one could make it in less than a month. But going via boat and mule-drawn wagon took her over seven months?
Clara Allen: Sometimes it seems like grave digging is all we do around here, don't it Cholo? What do you think happens when we die?
Cholo: Not too much. You are just dead.
Clara Allen: Maybe it's not as big a change as we think. Maybe you just go back to where you lived or near your family, or wherever you were the happiest. Only you're just a spirit now... and you don't have the troubles the living have.
