The Jerusalem Post has an article called "Turkey restricts viewing of Brokeback Mountain." Read it here

Jack Twist:  "Can't please my old man, no way.  That's why I took to rodeoin!" (proudly knocks his rodeo belt buckle), "Ever rodeo?"   [screenplay]

=aside= RE: Associated Press article in the "J" is Jerusalem "Post"
The "restriction" on viewing Brokeback Mountain in Turkey  is exactly the same as the R rating applied to Brokeback Mountain in the United States of America.

"M" is mole

I can't decide which mole of Jack's/Jake's I love more:  the one above his lip, or the one on his back we get to see when he rolls over Ennis in Tent Scene #2.   :P
:-* This ain't no rodeo, cowboy.

Ennis and Jack still sit at the bar, each nurses a longneck. Ennis peels the label from his bottle. A few empties sit in front of Jack.  [Day One, afternoon - screenplay]

The windows in Aguirre’s trailer were dirty to the point of being opaque.

A.  Jack and Ennis ride through the mountains, like Randolph Scott and Joel McCrae in "Ride The High Country", only more life-worn, more weather-beaten.    [screenplay]
