To Ennis after Ennis tells him the Horse has a low startle point. I know he says I doubt there is a Filly that can throw me but I can't get the rest of the line????
-
he says "I doubt there's a filly that can throw me. Let's get, 'less you wanna stand around and tie knots all day!"
-
..and tie knots all day.

Ohhh Its the "Lets Get" I just couldn't make sense of. Thanks. ;)

You bring up an interesting point. Jack says, "Let's git" and then later he urges Ennis to move quickly after killing the elk unless the Forest Service finds them. Annie Proulx described Jack as crazy to be anywhere but his home at Lightning Flat. And Jack was described as "dying on the road." Jack was full of wanderlust, and Ennis was the opposite, all the travelling he done was around the coffeepot looking for the handle.

I think he says in the move "Don't want to let the Game N Fish to catch you with no Elk".

A very small difference, but I've always heard the line as, " 'Less you want a stand around tyin' knots all day."

Sometimes I wish my fellow Brokies would watch the movie more often. I was working on the BBQ menu, for instance, and I threw out the idea of serving turkey legs because of their starring role in the movie. But I got the question back, "Where do turkey legs appear in the movie?" Um, they appear in the two Thanksgiving scenes. Another thing I wanted to add was round steak with peanut sauce. Can anyone guess why this is appropo??

Oh that['s easy...that's the scene where they went out for Thai food and Jack had beef satay... ;D NO wait...that was some bizarre fanfic.

When Ennis goes into the store to drop the girls to Alma because he has to work, he promises he'll bring steaks. Then Alma jr. ask for crayons and accidentaly throws all the peanut jars to the floor.
Tip: Before serving, ask who is allergic to peanut. You don't want the BBQ going awry over an allergy reaction. They're bad and deadly.

The peanut sauce comes from the aforesaid broken jars of peanuts in the grocery store, but I believe it's Ennis, as he's already and turned and headed for the door, who asks/tells Alma to bring home some round steak (from the grocery store).
Pan-broiled round steak, with onions and gravy, was one of my late mother's specialties. :-\
-
That sounds wonderful Jeff!!
Of course, we will be serving the peanut sauce on the side. I will prbly make two versions, spicy and mild (EDelMar doesn't like spicy food, and I do). I am creating signs for each food item, so people will be forewarned!!
I'm glad people here are on top of their Brokeback food trivia!!

I think this whole issue of Jack moving/traveling from state to state /blowing-around-like-the-wind vs. Ennis's stasis/ disinterest in traveling/ inability to travel due to the bad truck/ solid-earth metaphor is really interesting. And, yes, part of Jack's tragedy is that he's cut down in his most natural element (in a way being on the road and traveling was his normal state of being) in either the murder or accident. I wonder what we're supposed to make of the idea that both Jack and Ennis's parents die on the road. It's possible that both die in accidental ways on the road too (although of course Jack's death is subject to interpretation).

well the steak and the onions are easy enough but gravy can be tricky
trial and error is all you can do.
