After TSI, Jack and Ennis had the rest of the summer to test the theory that usus magister est optimus - practice makes perfect.

"B" is boni

Ennis's comment to Jack: "We're supposed to guard the sheep, not eat 'em," comes close to the Latin phrase "boni pastoris est tondere pecus non deglubere, "It is of a good shepherd to shear his flock, not to flay them.

"C" is cucullus

Despite the cowboy hats, Jack and Ennis were humble sheep herders and ranch hands--cucullus non facit monachum ("the hood does not make the monk").

"G" is graviora

Fans of Brokeback Mountain, watching the Lake Scene argument, share Jack's solemn expression as Ennis drives away, knowing that graviora manent, the worst is yet to come.
