"R" is rescued
« Reply #13560 on: June 14, 2007, 09:29:33 am »
Jack and Ennis rescued The Man and his two Girls after the hippies only make it halfway across a swollen creek.  They were stuck with water at window-height of their brightly painted VW bus while going along a narrow little mountain road.

"T" is traditional

The hippie scene contrasts the "new youth" with Jack and Ennis's more traditional style.  Yes, Ennis is pretty well hung up...

"U" is unprotected

Jack's head was unprotected after his hat fell into the creek and floated away, "probably to Laramie by now."

The hippies needed rescuing because their VW bus had gotten stuck on a flooded mountain road.

JACK, frustrated, rides back to shore, takes off his boots and wades back in with the rope, manages to get it over the bumper. 

[2004 screenplay]

"X" is xcelling
« Reply #13566 on: June 14, 2007, 06:50:40 pm »
As usual in the hippie scene, Jack is xcelling at having a great idea that won't be realized:  roping a coyote.  But like most a Jack's ideas it never come to pass.  A sagebrush is much easier to rope.


EXT: BIG HORN MOUNTAINS, WYOMING: DAY: 1973: 
ENNIS and JACK are horseback, trotting across a high meadow.
JACK fiddles with his rope. Ropes a sagebrush, then throws it at a rabbit.

                    JACK
          I wish we'd jump a coyote.
          I'd love to rope a coyote.

                    ENNIS
             (skeptical of Jack's prowess with the lariat)
         I doubt I'll live to see that miracle....

They hear distant music, from over a nearby ridge: it's rock music.

                    JACK
          Who's playing music way out here?
          They lope to the top of the ridge.

[2004 screenplay]

I have presented all of the three hippie screenplay excerpts, but in reverse order.

ENNIS expertly gets his horse alongside the bus, looks inside to see a bearded, beaded Dead-head at the wheel, and two beautiful hippie coeds giggling, crowded together in the front seat.  [2004 screenplay]
