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

[memento]

Girl 1 flirts with Ennis when she says: "You sure? (seductive) We love to share."

[Toast]

We do not see the scene where Ennis, departing the Twist home, goes by to see where Jack's gravestone might be placed on the grieving plain.


EXT: OUTSIDE LIGHTNING FLAT, WYOMING: TWIST HOMESTEAD: DIRT DRIVEWAY: DAY: 1982:
ENNIS is in his pickup, bumping down the washboard road.
Passes the Twist family plot surrounded by sagging sheep wire, a tiny fenced square on the welling prairie, a few graves and a few tilted gravestones, bright with plastic flowers.
The look on his face makes it clear he doesn't want to know that JACK is going in there, to be buried forever on the grieving plain.

Our "western heroes" lived up to their name when they tackled the hippies' watery misfortune.

[Fran]

The hippies' VW bus had become incapacitated by a swollen creek.

Jack and Ennis wake up, joying to different degrees about their children and their habits:

INT: RIVERTON, WYOMING: MOTEL SIESTA: ROOM: NIGHT: 1967:

It's dark. We can make out clothes strewn around the room, some beer cans. The room blue with cigarette smoke.

The two boys appear to be sleeping. We hold on them for a
a beat.  Ennis awakens, rolls over, switches on the light, looks
at his watch, pulls out a cigarette; lights it. Jack awakens.
Ennis lights a cigarette for him, hands it to him.

          JACK
     You got a looker for a wife. (pause) She
     didn't seem too friendly, though...

          ENNIS
     Francine, she'll be two, looks just like
     her mom. Sweet hearted, but a mind of her
     own. Alma Jr., she's three, more like me,
     but smarter. Doesn't say much, but she's
     always watching out, nothin' much gets by
     her. (beat) I love those girls to pieces.

          JACK
     Yeah. Bobby -- that's my boy -- he's
     good. Some good laughs. But he sure does
     shit a lot. (pause) Damn. Four years.

The deleted hippie scene was at best lackluster.

[Meryl]

Without the quick-thinking assistance of Jack and Ennis, the hapless hippies might have remained mired in the stream for a long time.

[Toast]

The deleted hippie scene rattles naggingly in the collective consciousness of Brokeback Mountain fans as they try to see and have all things Brokeback revealed to them.

[Fran]

Up ahead of the bus, they see a creek, swollen from runoff.  But the bus doesn't slow....

                    JACK
          Can't that fool see the creek's in flood?
 
                    ENNIS
          Probably high on drugs.  May not have even
          noticed that creek, music's too loud.
 
...and the bus, music blaring, heads right into the water.  Makes it halfway across... stops, water at window-height.  Yells are heard.
 
ENNIS and JACK lope down the ridge.

                    JACK
              (drawing rein)
          Hell, better go down and see what's what.
 
                    ENNIS
          See if you can get a rope on the bumper.
          I'll offload who I can.

Ennis and Jack loped down the hill to find the hippies' Volkswagen bus partially submerged in a creek.
