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

[Fran]

Fear is foremost amongst Ennis's justifications for denying himself the "sweet life" proposed by Jack.

[Toast]

The solitude of their fishing expeditions loosens Ennis's inhibitions.

[Meryl]

Ennis' long-time mendacity regarding the nature of his fishin' trips with Jack was laid bare by Alma's revelation in the kitchen on Thanksgiving.

[Fran]

With Jack, Ennis finds the nearness that eludes him in his relationship with Alma.

def. = familiarity, affection, intimacy

[Toast]

Ennis tells Jack how he feels oppressively restricted in town:

"You ever get the feelin', I don't know, er, when you're in town, and someone looks at you, suspicious...like he knows. And then you get out on the pavement, and everyone lookin' at you, like they all know too?"

The post-reunion fishin' trip involved naked cliff-jumping.

[memento]

Jack and Ennis enjoyed some rest and relaxation when they weren't excited about their catch of the day.

=aside= players

Greetings from sultry Savannah. I'll get back to some serious playing tomorrow. I missed the game and all of you.

[Toast]

The relaxed skinny-dippers weren't excited about the catch of the day.

[Meryl]

Although the idea of ranching up with Jack was tantalizing to Ennis, he was far more comfortable settling for the occasional fishing trip.

[memento]

The "fishing trips" were the only times that Ennis could really unwind.
