"J" is junks

We have to be satisfied with barely glimpsing some scenes/clips filmed for Brokeback Mountain - since they were reduced to bare seconds in the promotional trailer after the final editing junks the scenes forever:
  • Jack and Ennis riding horseback on the day that the hippies took a dippy.
  • Mechanics or Killers (or both) in a garage.
  • Jack and Ennis riding off to the drop-off point in 1963.
  • Jack, shirtless, on the pole bridge on laundry day.

We were spared the macabre machinations of the Killer Mechanics.

"N' is nudges
« Reply #13673 on: June 18, 2007, 11:45:35 pm »
In the 2004 screenplay, Jack verbally nudges Ennis about being so square:


Later: Jack and Ennis ride off, the hippies in the
background.
 
                    JACK
          Hell, I guess I could a been a hippie, if
          I'd had more education.
 
                    ENNIS
          I don't like damn hippies. Un-American if
          you ask me.
 
                    JACK
          Yeah, you're pretty square, aren't you?
          If they only knew just how square you
          are!
   
They both laugh.

"O" is obliged

It has been said that Ang Lee obliged James Schamus by filming the hippie scene (which took a week to shoot), knowing all along that it would not be included in the final version of the film.

"P" is peace-loving

Ennis' found that rescuing the peace-loving hippies was a piece of cake and was offered a piece of bread and a piece of the action.

"R" is rewards

Jack and Ennis were not looking for rewards when they rode down to rescue the hippies from the swollen creek.

"S" is snows

ENNIS lights a cigarette.  Looks down at the distant highway.

                    ENNIS
          Look at them cars.

                    JACK
          What?

                    ENNIS
          I used to wonder... warm nights, we'd all
          sit on the front porch, mom and dad, my
          brother and sis and me. The highway was
          four miles away, and you could see it, a
          long line of lights, and I could sit
          there like a fuckin' dog, for hours just
          sit there wondering where they were all
          going.

                    JACK
          No highway by our house, just a dirt
          road.  If somebody showed up on it at
          night, they'd usually be poaching
          antelope.  (braids the quirt)  Good huntin'
          around our place.  Maybe we could head up
          there at the end of September, before the
          big snows hit. Get a few antelope
          ourselves.

[2004 screenplay]

"T" is trucking

The bearded, beaded Dead-head hippie and the two coeds had been trucking along in their VW bus before they were up the creek.

Def: To move or travel in a steady but easy manner.

"U" is unaccepted
« Reply #13679 on: June 19, 2007, 10:20:35 am »
The girls' seductive offer went unaccepted since:
  • We gotta make camp by sundown. (Ennis)
  • I suppose not. We'd best be going.  (Ennis)
  • Ennis is just pretty well hung up.  (Jack)
  • Damn hippies are Un-American if you ask me.  (Ennis)
  • If they only knew just how square you are [Ennis]!   (Jack)
