L.D.'s infuriating behavior at Thanksgiving dinner was the impetus Jack needed to tell him he'd knock his "ignorant ass into next week" if he didn't sit down.

Old Man Twist used the locution "tell you what" two times during Ennis's visit:

"Tell you what, I know where Brokeback Mountain is. He thought he was too goddamn special to be buried in the family plot."

"Tell you what, we got a family plot and he's goin' in it."

While embracing Jack, Ennis hummed one of his mama's songs.

What Jack remembered and craved in a way he could neither help nor understand was the time that distant summer on Brokeback when Ennis had come up behind him and pulled him close, the silent embrace satisfying some shared and sexless hunger.
They had stood that way for a long time in front of the fire, its burning tossing ruddy chunks of light, the shadow of their bodies a single column against the rock. The minutes ticked by from the round watch in Ennis's pocket, from the sticks in the fire settling into coals.
