"Ennis lay spread-eagled, spent and wet, breathing deep, still half tumescent, Jack blowing forceful cigarette clouds like whale spouts...."  [story]

Ennis didn't have fancy glassware with which to toast his daughter's engagement, but she didn't mind.

=aside= Fran, that was a sexy one!

"I" is irrevocably

"Proulx was disturbed by Ang Lee's alterations -- then sensed how films have their own particular timing.  For her, the crucial moment of her story had been the reunion of Jack and Ennis in the motel room after four years apart.  There, in their long dialogue, she felt the two men's paths 'were irrevocably laid out.'  The screenwriters cut this conversation short, moved some of it to a subsequent scene of the two men camping."
-- Andrew Hudson, White Crane

A lot of Ennis's speech is his own jargon.

"K" is killings

Both killings in Brokeback Mountain are seen, respectively, through the memory and imagination of Ennis Del Mar.

Jack:  "I got it figured, got this plan, Ennis, how we can do it, you and me.  Lureen's old man, you bet he'd give me a bunch if I'd get lost.  Already more or less said it --"  [story]

"M" is midstream

Jack and Ennis decided to change horses in midstream when they switched their roles as camp tender and herder.
