"M" is mushroom

Randall is hopeful that a weekend at Roy Taylor's cabin with Jack will mushroom into something more than a little drinking and fishing.

"N" is nibbling

Before Jack could start nibbling on the fishing lure offered by Randall, Lashawn showed up talking about how she and Randall (she thinks) were behind the times.

  • There's no reins on this one....
"O" is obtrude

Rather than obtrude himself on Jack with an out-and-out proposition, Randall mentions the croppie house on Lake Kemp as a way of testing the waters.

"P" is pursuit

Randall's pursuit of a thing with Jack began rather subtly at the benefit dinner.

"R" is reacting

Randall's acting and reacting to Jack became less subtle as the evening wound down.

"S" is shacking

Randall really wanted to know if Jack would be interested in shacking up with him for a weekend.

Randall tempted Jack with a weekend of drinking and whatever.

"U" is uncertainness
« Reply #14857 on: September 16, 2007, 09:23:50 pm »
Both the story and the movie of Brokeback Mountain leave us with uncertainness about the manner of Jack's death.   However in the 2004 shooting script there is a scene with Randall and Jack that seems to rule out an accident:

EXT. GAS STATION -- ROAD OUTSIDE CHILDRESS -- DAY -- 1982

Jack's truck pulls up to the dirt lot next to the gas station. A mechanic, tire jack in hand, fiddling with a car, takes a beer from his buddy, who sits on a tire nearby. They both watch as Randall gets out of the truck and walks to his own truck parked in the lot, waving back at Jack.

The mechanic trades glances with his friend.

Their pov:

Randall's truck pulls out of the lot, goes in one direction.

Jack's pulls out after him, going in the opposite direction. wide:

We hold on Jack's truck, as it drives off into the distance.


[The unnumbered scene occurs between Cassie's kiss-off (147) and Ennis receiving the undelivered postcard (148).]


Could this image from the trailer show this scene??

Randall was a vier for Jack's attention.

"W" is whiles

While Lashawn and Lureen are visiting the ladies' room, Randall whiles away the time talking to Jack about a weekend at Roy Taylor's cabin.
