"J" is Juliet

"Like Romeo and Juliet, Ennis and Jack's love is doomed to fail from the start, due to other people's misunderstandings, confusion and fear.  The movie works as a tragedy, but somehow I wanted the couple to stay together, laughing, playing and herding sheep in the rolling hills of Brokeback Mountain."
-- Alex Sandell, The Juicy Cerebellum

After hearing "Bring 'em down," all Ennis could do was to lollygag on the grassy knoll.

"M" is moseying

One of the nicest moments in Brokeback Mountain shows two cowboys just moseying along, enjoying each other's company:  Jack and Ennis together.

When it was time to leave Signal, Jack hoped he would cross paths with Ennis again.

"R" is recluse

Though Ennis became almost a recluse after Jack's passing, the shirts were always there to keep his memory alive.

They had a high-time supper by the fire, a can of beans each, fried potatoes and a quart of whiskey on shares, sat with their backs against a log, boot soles and copper jeans rivets hot, swapping the bottle while the lavender sky emptied of color and the chill air drained down, drinking, smoking cigarettes, getting up every now and then to piss, firelight throwing a sparkle in the arched stream, tossing sticks on the fire to keep the talk going....

"T" is togetherness

Jack and Ennis's evenings around the campfire contributed to their initial feelings of togetherness.

"U" is unfastened

Ennis unfastened his belt in TSI, but soon had to fasten his seat belt for a very bumpy ride.
