"C" is coldest
« Reply #15150 on: October 01, 2007, 10:49:11 pm »
Ennis enters the tent at the coldest point of that night:

EXT: BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, WYOMING: NIGHT (LATER STILL): 1963:
The moon is full up, notched past two in the morning.
ENNIS is dizzy drunk, on 'all fours, struggles to stand.

                    ENNIS
               (weaving)
          Too late to go out to them damn sheep.
               (pause) .
          You got a extra blanket, I'll roll up out here and grab
          forty winks, ride out at first light.

                    JACK
               (doubtful)
          Freeze your ass off when that fire dies down.
          Better off sleepin' in the tent.
               (stands up)

But he staggers under the canvas, pulls his boots off, falls asleep on the ground cloth. Snores.
JACK follows, crawls inside his large bedroll.

EXT: BROKE BACK MOUNTAIN, WYOMING: CAMP: NIGHT (YET LATER STILL): 1963:
Coldest point of the night.

ENNIS shivers, teeth chatter uncontrollably.
                    JACK
               (irritable, sleep-clogged)
          Jesus Christ, quit hammerin' , and get over
          here. Bedroll's big enough.

ENNIS, too cold to protest, crawls inside.

[2003 screenplay]

"D" is deferentially

Ennis enters the Twist ranch deferentially, hoping to persuade Jack's parents to let him have Jack's ashes so he can scatter them on Brokeback.

"E" is emanating

It appears that Monroe and the girls were oblivious to the angry words emanating from the kitchen until Ennis stormed out of the house.

Mrs. Twist seemed to be expecting a visitor, and came forward as a greeter to make Ennis feel welcome.

"H" is howdies

Of all the howdies in BBM, Jack's "Howdy" to Alma is the shakiest.

Joe Aguirre took off his light-colored cowboy hat just as Ennis and Jack were entering the trailer.

"M" is maneuvering

Ennis is successful at maneuvering through the supermarket aisles with a kid on/in each arm - looking for the condiment section.

Ennis couldn't believe his eyes and ears as Jack was nearing the stairs after not seeing him for "four fuckin' years."
