Intoxication
was the goal that morning in the bar, be it with beer, whiskey or each other.

Ennis and Jack had their choice of seats at the bar since they were the
joint's
only customers.

Before they started doing heavy
lifting
up on the mountain, Jack and Ennis' first workout was
lifting
beer bottles to their mouths.

"M" is mastery

According to Annie Proulx, Jack bragged about his
mastery
of shooting in the bar that morning:
He had shot an eagle, he said, turned his head to show the tail feather in his hatband.

There's no reins on this one....
"N" is normally

Ennis's expectations about what would
normally
be a routine job up on Brokeback were shaken by Jack's description of the prior summer's lightning-zapped sheep.

Jack told Ennis how we was
oxygen
deprived by being almost asphyxiated by the putrid vapors of the lightning-zapped sheep.

Jack and Ennis talked about a number of things while
popping
back a few beers:
Last year's zapped sheep.
Whiskey.
Money.
Aguirre's expectations.
John Twist's expectations.
Rodeoing.
Ranch people.
Dead Del Mars.
Living Del Mars.
Whiskey.

In response to Jack's question as to whether he had any rodeo experience, Ennis replied in a
reserved
manner:
"You know... I mean, once in a while, when I got the entry fee in my pocket."

10 INT: PICKUP TRUCK: NIGHT: 10
JACK sleeps in his old pickup, slumped against the door. ENNIS, in the passenger seat, wide awake, smokes, gazes through the
steamed
windows into the darkness. [2003 screenplay]

In Annie Proulx's
Brokeback Mountain
, Jack Twist showed off his
trophy
eagle tail feather in the bar in 1963; and he wore the same hat and feather on their 1983 boneless blue trip to the Hail Strew River drainage.
