"M" is mortgaged
« Reply #3540 on: June 16, 2006, 12:42:30 pm »
Ennis' family heritage was a few dollars, a dilapidated vehicle, some mortgaged property (now lost to the family), and the indelible impression left on him that day in the irrigation ditch. 
The warmest memory he seems to have is of his Mom telling her little cowboy that it was time for bed.

Brokeback Mountain is longer than a short story and so is called a novella.

No one touched the trigger but the Devil's right hand. --Steve Earle, The Devil's Right Hand, from the soundtrack

At least I think that's what he says. Steve Earle is not much for clear enunciation.

Indignant, they (TWO BIKERS) glare at ENNIS, as the first of the fireworks shoots into the sky, exploding in air in sync with the verse, "...bombs bursting in air...", beginning the show.
