The "ABCs of BBM": Round 965! (Rules in first post)

[Fran]

The 2004 screenplay is especially interesting because it includes some unfilmed scenes and some deleted ones, too.

The Old Man at the Signal garage on that 1963 morning warns Ennis that Brokeback is where Joe Aguirre will send him, and that the coyotes and coyotes up there are ready to eat damn sheep as well as damn jackasses.

EXT:  CHILDRESS, TEXAS:  RODEO ARENA:  NIGHT (EVEN LATER STILL):  1966:

LUREEN, perfectly coiffed, the only female among a lot of ragged cowboys, happens to stand next to JACK.

Sideways look.  Likes him.

     Say cheese.

2  INT:  WYOMING HIGHWAY:  TRUCK CAB:  NIGHT:  CONTINUOUS:  1963:   2

It is lighter now, but the light is high, and the plain still mainly dark, the lights of Signal, Wyoming vivid, closer now, perhaps five miles ahead.

Patsy Cline's "WALKIN' AFTER MIDNIGHT" on the radio. The TRUCKER, inscrutable, barrels on. Cabin is hazy with cigarette smoke.

In the deleted hippie scene, when Jack says to Ennis: "Yeah, you're pretty square, aren't you?  If they only knew just how square you are!", he is teasing him about the narrowness of his outlook.

No one in sight on the streets of Signal. After a moment, carrying his sack, ENNIS walks over to the OLD MAN, who is balancing the tractor tire against a pillar.

                    ENNIS .
          'Scuse me. Might you tell me where the
          Farm and Ranch Employment Office is at?

                    OLD MAN
              (not as sour as he looks, points)
          In that there trailer house. Three
          blocks down. You'll see it.

ENNIS nods, tips his hat, starts off.

              ENNIS
          Jack, I can't take this.

                    JACK
          What do you mean?  Of course you can.
 
                    ENNIS
          I can't take this.  I can't take this home.
          This is two, three month's wages.
 
                    JACK
          It's a gift.  Don't worry about it.
 
                    ENNIS
               (anger rising)
          You don't get it.  Alma sees this... You just
          don't get it.  Alma, me and my shit jobs,
          then struttin' home with this in my hands, with
          her going on about this and that we can't
          afford for the girls.

ENNIS and JACK see a brightly painted VW bus going along a narrow little mountain road.
                    ENNIS
If it's a hippie, we ought to scalp him.

That line would probably make Annie tear her hair out.

3  EXT: SIGNAL, WYOMING: MAIN STREET: DAY (LATER): 1963:  3

Lighter still.

The truck stops with a screech of air brakes in front of a service station just opening for the day. An OLD MAN is rolling a tractor tire as big as he is into the garage.

Actually, I think Annie might scalp James Schamus.
