:laugh: That's OK, F-R! Didn't we arm wrestle about this issue over lunch and resolve the debate once and for all? :laugh:

When Ennis first calls her and says "This is Ennis Del Mar," she doesn't quite have the true recognition of what he meant to Jack yet. She says, "You're that hunting buddy, or fishin' buddy, I know that. I'da called ya to tell you what happened, but Jack kept his friends' addresses in his head." So there, she's lumping him in with any of Jack's other friends. THEN, he says, "Me an' Jack - we herded sheep up on Brokeback Mountain in the summer of '63." RIGHT THERE. That's when she knows. Because Jack said it was his "favorite place." She thought it was maybe make-believe, or a place to go drink. After all, Jack drank a lot... Right there is where she puts 2 and 2 together.

My first time to read this great thread. Barb, you put your long first post SO well, thank you. You're right, Lureen knows that Brokeback got Jack good. And once she knows that Ennis was part of the Brokeback experience, it all fits together. Really great post.

Simple:
If they are named Jack and Ennis they're too busy dancin with each other!

"It's funny, ain't it? Husbands don't never seem to dance with their wives."
