"V" is varying
« Reply #12380 on: April 07, 2007, 11:14:41 am »
Little was varying over the years, according to the 2003 screenplay:

118   EXT: MOUNTAINS: NIGHT: 1980:     118

JACK plays harmonica around the campfire. ENNIS drinks from whiskey bottle.
Same poor food, cans with spoons in them, beer bottles, whiskey bottles.

ENNIS looks mostly the same, elder, but still skinny. 
JACK, the shorter of the two, has thickened some through the shoulders.
They aren't fishing. Just sit near one another, enjoy the country, the night, the fire.

WE SEE JACK in a down jacket.  ENNIS in shirtsleeves.

                    JACK
          Don't you never wear a coat?

                    ENNIS
               (grin)
          When it's cold.
          Seems like spring to me.

                    JACK
          It may be spring where you're sittin', but two
          feet west, it’s goddamn winter, I tell you.

"W" is wending

Jack and Ennis spent many years wending their way through various mountain ranges in Wyoming on their fishing trips, but they never returned to Brokeback.

Welcome home  :)

"X" is xasperation

Jack's xasperation was evident, yet he kept going on those fishin' trips, trying to reel Ennis in.

"A" is aboveboard
« Reply #12384 on: April 07, 2007, 12:48:38 pm »
Jack was trying to be aboveboard on one of their "fishing trips" when he told Ennis that he missed him so much he could hardly stand it.

=aside= Toast, Meryl
Thanks for the welcome messages. It's good to be back even though it's about 40 degrees colder here.

"B" if brief
« Reply #12385 on: April 07, 2007, 06:36:24 pm »
Although Ennis and Jack had known each other for many years, the actual amount of time they spent together was brief.

=aside= Sandy
Hope you enjoyed your vacation.
I'm glad you're back.

"D" is Dixie

Ennis thought that Jack was whistling Dixie when he brought up the subject of having a life together.

"E" is extrovert
« Reply #12388 on: April 07, 2007, 07:22:02 pm »
Jack was much more of an extrovert than Ennis ever was;  he was lively and even got Ennis to show us his dazzling smile with his "drunken rodeo" act.

Jack and Ennis were fishers of men.

Nice to have you back.
