"S" is straightens

In profile, WE SEE the passenger take an old mashed-up Stetson off the dashboard.

This is ENNIS DEL MAR: about twenty, but nonetheless compelling, not light or frivolous in disposition, appearance or manner, uncommonly quick reflexes -- a high-school dropout country boy with no prospects, brought up to hard work and privation, rough-mannered, rough-spoken, inured to the stoic life.  Has outgrown his faded denim cowboy shirt, his wrists stick well out of the sleeves, the buttons gap.

                    ENNIS
              (straightens the creases of the hat, sets it on his head)
          That's Signal, ain't it?

                    TRUCKER
              (no conversationalist)
          Was the last time I come this way.

[2004 screenplay]

"T" is threesome

When Hippie Girl 1 says: "You sure? (seductive) We love to share", it sounds like she is hinting at a threesome.

"U" is ubiquitously

The hippies, man and girls, have crept ubiquitously into the ABCs of Brokeback Mountain.

=aside= Players
At least three more hippie dippie letters!
Groovy!!

Poor Jack lost his hat while attempting to pull a rope around the Volkswagen's bumper.

"W" is worshipping
« Reply #13635 on: June 17, 2007, 05:19:27 pm »
The hippies seemed to be worshipping Jack and Ennis as heroes, saying: "Hey, break bread with us, western heroes."

"X" is xcises

The deletion of the hippie scene xcises a clip where we could see Jack Twist lose his hat into the creek.

"A" is abashed

EXT:  CHILDRESS, TEXAS:  RODEO ARENA:  NIGHT (EVEN LATER STILL):  1966:
LUREEN, perfectly coiffed, the only female among a lot of ragged cowboys, happens to stand next to JACK.
Sideways look.  Likes him.

               PHOTOGRAPHER
     Say cheese.

JACK and LUREEN smile.  Flash goes off.

               LUREEN
     Mr. Twist, it was real nice of you to pick up my hat.  (smiles at him)

               JACK
          (genuinely abashed)
     No big deal... it just fell off practically in my lap.

LUREEN, direct, smiles again.

"B" is blared

That bearded, beaded hippie dippie blared rock music from his soggy VW van.
