"C" is cloudy

Windy, gritty, cloudy weather. ENNIS, JACK, the blue heelers and the TWO CHILEANS work in a confusion of sheep and dust, trying to separate the two herds that have mixed.     [2003 screenplay]

During one downpour Ennis amused himself by whittling a horse out of wood.

"E" is elevations

Jack and Ennis visited places with high elevations and cool climates on their "fishing trips" resulting in Jack finally losing his cool about the cold.

On Tuesday, August 13, Ennis awoke in the pup tent to find a freezing cold storm had moved in from the Pacific.

"G" is gathering
« Reply #10884 on: February 06, 2007, 12:20:42 am »
EXT:  BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, WYOMING:  CAMP:  LATE EVENING:  1963:

The wind is picking up.

ENNIS and JACK are gathering dishes, blankets, trying to grab their gear before it blows away.

The sides of the tent begin to buck and pitch.

Then hailstones begin to pepper down.  [screenplay]

"H" is hysterical

Snow fell outside the frosty kitchen window as Alma started to wash the Thanksgiving dishes, unaware that her calm demeanor would shortly become hysterical, thanks to an argument with Ennis.

"I" is icing

The hailstorm may have been bad for the sheep, but the icing on the cake was a (presumed) night in the tent together for Jack and Ennis.

"J" is jaywalker

One snowy Thanksgiving evening, a roughneck driving a pickup truck had to brake sharply to avoid hitting a jaywalker heading for the Black & Blue Eagle bar.

"L" is lull

When Ennis was enjoying his last night on the mountain and awoke to snow on the ground, it was the lull before the storm.

When Ennis awoke, there was a mantle of snow covering all he could see.
