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

[Fran]

INT:  WYOMING COURTHOUSE:  DAY: 1975:

ENNIS and ALMA in a bleak little courtroom:  divorce court.

Grim.

                         JUDGE
          ...Custody of the two minor children,
          Alma Jr. and Jennifer del Mar, is awarded
          to plaintiff.  Defendant is ordered to
          pay child support to the plaintiff in the
          sum of $125 a month, for each of the
          minor children until they reach the age
          of 18 years...

ALMA looks sad, but determined... cries quietly.

After years of watching her marriage crumble, Alma filed for divorce.

[southendmd]

Ennis tries to defend his taking off to the mountains for a few days by reminding Alma he worked through a storm last Christmas.

[Fran]

With the help of a fishing line that had never touched water in its life, Alma is able to educe that Ennis and Jack didn't go up to the mountains to fish.

[memento]

Alma made it clear at Thanksgiving that she hadn't been fooled by Ennis' "fishing trips" and she knew there was no fishin' but lots of foolin' around.

[southendmd]

Following the reunion, Ennis was guaranteeing to Alma that he would be back by Sunday at the latest.

EXT:  CHILDRESS, TEXAS:  RODEO ARENA:  NIGHT:  1966:

In the arena WE SEE a YOUNG WOMAN dressed in the flashiest,
most costly rodeo finery, the most stylish barrel-racing
clothes, on a fine, expensive quarter horse, running the
barrels.

Tips one... but it doesn't quite fall... she rounds the last
barrel, whipping the horse as if she's in the homestretch at
the Kentucky Derby, races out of the arena as the ANNOUNCER
says:

                              ANNOUNCER
          Here she comes, ladies and gentlemen,
          look at her fly... Miss Lureen Newsome
          from right here in Childress, Texas... Oh
          boy... and her time is...
                   (beat)
          ...sixteen and nine-tenths seconds.  Let's         
          give her a big hand!

The words are drowned out as the crowd gives LUREEN a big
hand.

Alma was afraid to inquire about what she suspected was the true nature of Ennis' fishing trips until she was divorced.

[southendmd]

Cassie wrinkled her nose loathesomely when Ennis told her he had been castrating calves earlier that day.

[Meryl]

Ennis minces around Alma's suggestion of looking into work at the electric company by calling attention to his klutziness instead.
