"a whole new 'twist' on that line"....oh yeah, I love brokie puns! To answer your question, if Alma had a mind to be as biting and sarcastic as I would have been, it might have set Ennis off in a killing frenzy! So that probably wouldn't have helped the story along much. Ennis was skating on the edge anyway, and later on he sure picked on a large size rough neck that mopped the pavement with him. And, why weren't the Riverton cops outside that bar ready to give Ennis a ticket for driving that truck that had only one headlight functioning? I guarantee that if I ever drove any vehicle with a tail light, brake light, or headlight missing, the cops would pull me over, that is my luck!

Thanks jstephens9, and thanks brokeplex!
As I just added on if I prefer the movie or the book and reading your comments here by the two of you, something tells me that the movie is a bit, maybe or not anti-gay, since I have a feeling that it makes also Ennis call Jack in a way: Jack NANCY?? !!
You know how?
Hugs!

Artiste, BBM Mountain is pro-gay. The straight people who made BBM are courageous and heroes in my eyes.They
took a financial risk to make a movie that helps gay people. There are anti-gay slurs and scenes in BBM to show
how gay people are were treated and had to live.This may help some people understand us.Alma used the word
"Jack Nasty" most likely because at the time she lived perhaps she did not know a better word.Let me give you an
example.My great grandmother called automobiles "machines" because she did not know the word automobile.

Thanks brokeplex, and thanks tampatalon!!
brokeplex:
Firstly, I repeat: Ennis in a way did call Jack: NANCY!!
Yes, you can re-read that brokeplex. Are you perplexed about that? I am. I wonder why that was in the movie? Once, you find out, was it also in the book, will be one of my next questions.

tampatalon:
I agree with you in some ways for pro-gay, but in more than one, I find the movie anti-gay! If you seek out why Ennis was unhappy when he asks a certain question to Jack, (see the above to brokeplex), then you wonder if that was added to make it negative towards gay men?
...
Awaiting your news about this to be researched, gentlemen,
hugs!!
