Ennis and jack had a knockdown-dragout fight before leaving Brokeback.

Their respective Thanksgiving meals show how Jack was taking more control, while Ennis lost control completely.

In the screenplay Lureen says, "okay, fine" whereas in the movie she says "I'll call later" about the tutor.

=apology=
I went out of turn and had to delete "L" is languidly. Anybody else have an L? At least I corrected myself!

The Twist family plot is mentioned in the book and the actor portraying my husband mentioned it in the movie. The little plot is located near the house.

Oh, my, this is fun..... except about the plot!

God bless all of you dedicated subscribers here at the Brokeback Mountain game.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Mary Twist

Thank you, Front-Ranger, for acknowledging your error. The apology was rather nice, too.

We need a replacement "L" word.

The next letter in the regular round is "Q".

In 1963 when Jack met Ennis, he was so young, and so full of life. His light-hearted disposition shone through and captivated Ennis' attention.

=comment=
This is the replacement "L" (is "languidly").

Annie Proulx and her editors were very careful with quotation marks to indicate dialogue in the novella.

However the screenplay uses quotation marks differently: to indicate song titles, lyric quotes and quotes from signs, letters and cards.

Brokeback is the story of two rugged cowboys falling in love.

ENNIS How's your boy doin'?
JACK He's thirteen now. Can't hardly read. I told Lureen he must be dyslexic or somethin' , but she won't admit to it. Pretends the kid's okay.
