"Y" is younker

Brokeback Mountain allows us to think of the decisions made as a younker, and how these choices are affected by our upbringing.  Oh to be a totally liberated younker.

younker - A young person (especially a young man or boy).

"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."  [screenplay]

"B" is braille

In tent scene 2, Ennis sees and senses Jack with his hands, not his eyes - interpreting each gentle touch much like the blind read braille.

=compliment= Mikaela
Excellent!

"C" is crackerjack

Ennis was a crackerjack marksman, as evidenced when he shot the elk.

=aside=
A new twist on the Cracker Jack box provides surprises for him or her. Neiman Marcus has substituted the traditional Cracker Jack prizes with limited edition surprises. These include an 18-karat gold ring with an emerald, ruby, or sapphire cabochon in place of the plastic "jewel" for her and a pair of silver vermeil and enamel cuff links in the shape of the recognizable Cracker Jack box for him.  It looks like LaShawn will be buying a few of these.

Ennis’s and Alma’s estrangement increased steadily until divorce became the logical conclusion - for Alma.

Two dark, dour, over-allied 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.
   Farmer #1:  "Didn't that pissant used to ride the bulls?"
   Farmer #2:  "He used to try...."   [screenplay]

=aside= Fran
We are even pasting from different versions of the screenplay.
No copying here, just great minds thinking alike.

=reply= Toast
Ditto!
