The "ABCs of BBM": Round 965! (Rules in first post)

[Toast]

According to Annie Proulx, Ennis hoped to find the aromas of Jack and Brokeback Mountain in the fabric of the pair of shirts:

He pressed his face into the fabric and breathed in slowly through his mouth and nose, hoping for the faintest smoke and mountain sage and salty sweet stink of Jack but there was no real scent, only the memory of it, the imagined power of Brokeback Mountain of which nothing was left but what he held in his hands.

Ennis hopes for a scent of Jack when he breathes into the fabric of the shirt.

ENNIS sees the closet.  Gets up, walks over to it.

A shallow cavity with a wooden rod braced across it, a faded cretonne curtain on a string half-open, closing the closet off from the rest of the room.  In the closet hangs two pairs of jeans crease-ironed and folded neatly over wire hangers.  On the floor a pair of worn packer boots.  [screenplay]

Finding the intertwined shirts deepens the connection for Ennis.

Ennis endures the negative comments from John C. Twist, but the two shirts break through his stoic demeanour.

"Bumping down the washboard road Ennis passed the country cemetery fenced with sagging sheep wire..." [story]

[Fran]

Ennis sat at the kitchen table with Jack's father, who gazed at him "with an angry, knowing expression."

Old Man Twist seemed to relish the fact that his words and spitting were hurtful.

In relating to Ennis, Ma Twist relied on her intuition.

OMT opens his jaws to put words to his bitterness, telling Ennis things he doesn't want to hear.
