The returned postcard prompted question-ridden Ennis to make a phone call to the Twist home in Childress.

Ennis's phone call to Lureen brought with it the realization that Jack was not going to join him in November at Pine Creek.

"S" is strong

May 1983

Around three they swung through a narrow pass to a southeast slope where the strong spring sun had had a chance to work, dropped down to the trail again which lay snowless below them. They could hear the river muttering and making a distant train sound a long way off.   [Proulx]

Lureen said on the phone to Ennis: "Jack kept most a his friends’ addresses in his head. It was a terrible thing. He was only thirty-nine years old.”

"U" is unhurried

"From its first moments, it becomes clear that what is spoken aloud in Brokeback Mountain is far less important than what goes unsaid.  It is a meditative film, unhurried in its storytelling, confident enough in its own abilities to indulge in gorgeous scenery and the joke."

After a few days of beans Jack let Ennis know he was unhappy with a steady diet of such vegetarian fare.

Tammy Wynette's song "D-I-V-O-R-C-E"  was teasingly playing on the jukebox when Junior met Cassie.

Jack, May 1983 - Ennis was the xecratee:
"You're too much for me, Ennis, you son of a whoreson bitch. I wish I knew how to quit you."   [Proulx]
