When Alma inquired about Jack, Ennis chose not to divulge that they had spent the summer of 1963 together up on Brokeback Mountain.

I'm impressed by your "Copeland"!

Mrs. Twist chose not to emulate her husband's stern example and was welcoming and kind to Ennis, sensing his grief.

Story Ennis could "hear Jack’s mother downstairs running water, filling the kettle and setting it back on the stove, asking the old man a muffled question."

I'm also impressed by your "Copeland." How did you know the pattern?

Alma only has a coffee cup, matching salt and pepper shakers, an ashtray, and a container of granulated sugar to keep her company at the kitchen table while she waits for Ennis to return.

Alma sits at the kitchen table in her housecoat, contemplating what she had witnessed the day before.

"India Tree" by Copeland Spode is a famous English China pattern. Some friends have service for 36! I think I recognized it on viewing #2.

Alma told Ennis she didn't want to risk getting impregnated, "as far behind as we are on the bills."

At Thanksgiving dinner, Alma spoke to Ennis with loathing about his "fishing trips" and Jack "Nasty".

INT: TEXAS: NEWSOME FARM AND RANCH: DAY: 1969:

Two dour FARMERS are watching JACK demonstrate a fancy
air-conditioned tractor.

JACK, who can drive anything, is doing a fine job of putting
the tractor through its paces, but there's an air of boyish
inanity about him. LUREEN, sales binders in hand, passes
behind the farmers as they exchange glances.

FARMER #1
Didn't that piss-ant used to ride the bulls?

FARMER #2
He used to try....

LUREEN looks over at the oblivious JACK, a look of mild
disappointment on her face.

Lureen and Jack entered into negotiations as to who was gonna call Bobby's teacher. Lureen said she'd call later. Did she?

"Lureen looks over at the oblivious JACK, a look of mild disappointment on her face" after overhearing the farmers' condescending remarks about Jack's bull riding.
