The "ABCs of BBM": Round 965! (Rules in first post)

[Front-Ranger]

In a little while, under the full moon, their intimacy deepened considerably. (First tent scene)

[Fran]

"...still they clinched, pressing chest and groin and thigh and leg together, treading on each other's toes until they pulled apart to breathe and Ennis, not big on endearments, said what he said to his horses and daughters, little darlin'."  [short story]

Does anyone remember from "My Cousin Vinny" when he called them "the two youts"?

Jack:  "I kind of got this thing goin' with a ranch foreman's wife over in Childress.  Expect to get shot by Lureen or the husband each time I slip off to see her."

[ThePirateBride]

"They had a high time supper by the fire, a can of beans each, fried potatoes, and a quart of whiskey on shares, sat with their backs against a log, boot soles and copper jeans rivets hot, swapping the bottle while the lavender sky emptied of color and the chill air drained down, drinking, smoking cigarettes, getting up every now and then to piss, firelight throwing a sparkle in the arched stream, tossing sticks on the fire to keep the talk going, talking horses and rodeo, rough stock events, wrecks and injuries sustained, the submarine Thresher lost two months earlier with all hands and how it must have been in the last doomed minutes, dogs each had owned and known, the military service, Jack's home ranch, where his father and mother held on, Ennis's family place, folded years ago after his folks died, the older brother in Signal and a married sister in Casper."  Short story.

Whew!  What a long sentence!

Jack responded judiciously to many of Ennis's comments.

For instance:
"I can't believe I left my shirt up there." "Yeah."
"Is (relations with Lureen) normal and all?" (nods)

Ennis and Jack were just 2 young lads of nineteen when they met in the summer of 1963

Annie Proulx discusses where the character Ennis was created:

"But the incident that actually made me start writing it was one night when I was in a bar in Sheridan, Wyoming—the Mint bar. There was a ranch hand I used to see. This guy was back leaning against the wall by the pool tables. The bar was packed with good-looking women, and he wasn’t looking at them—he was watching the guys….He was about sixty, and he watched them with a kind of subdued hunger that made me wonder if he was country gay."
She counted back from his age and decided to set the story in the ‘60s, when he would have been a young man.
