We see Ennis drive up to the Supermarket, bring his kids inside and dump them on Alma, since the heifers need him today.

"E" is enthusiasm

"Jack is the more outgoing and impulsive of the two, but his hurt cuts just as deep.  His coltish enthusiasm is all the more devastating by its inevitable end.  And it is Jack’s simple dream that lends Brokeback Mountain its aching poignancy.  It joins a great tradition of yearning already captured in “Somewhere” from West Side Story, Lenny’s rabbits in Of Mice and Men, and that bus ride to Florida in Midnight Cowboy."
-- Matthew Kennedy, Bright Lights Film Journal [review]

Her first glimpse of Jack immediately put Lureen in a flirtatious mood.

Ennis greets the manager of the supermarket when he sees him near the checkout:  "Hey, Monroe."

The August snowfall up on Brokeback in '63 turned out to be the harbinger of an early end to the summer for Jack and Ennis.

You can purchase Purity Bread, baked by Purity Factories in St. John's, Newfoundland, at Monroe's Riverton Supermarket.

This is the only bread I can find in Brokeback Mountain.
So unless you find your own, I have dibs on "B" is bread.

"L" is low-down

Jack felt disheartened and low-down when Ennis gave him the brush-off after having driven fourteen hours to see him.
