Jack Twist and his "North Dallas" Lureen come upon the Malones on the way to the dance hall to attend the Children's Benefit Dance.

The exteriors for the dance hall were shot in front of this CIBC bank
in Rockyford, Alberta, Canada

Lureen, picking up on Lashawn's comment, begins jiving Jack about never dancing with his wife.

"L" is Lashawn's
« Reply #10083 on: January 12, 2007, 01:55:30 pm »
Lashawn's role in Brokeback Mountain is a very minor role.  But she probably had as many words as Ennis Del Mar said in nearly twenty years:

then I pledged Tri-Delt at SMU.
And I sure never thought I'd end up in
a pokey little place like Childress.
Then I met old Randall here at an Aggie game
and he was an animal husbandry major.
So we been here for a month, and he got the
foreman job over at Roy Taylor's ranch.
Like it or not, here I am.

Well, even though we ain't quite sorority sisters,
we might have to dance with ourselves, Lureen!
Our husbands ain't the least bit
interested in dancin'!

-They ain't got a smidgen of rhythm between 'em.

- Yes!  Thank you.

That's very nice.  Thank you for asking me
to dance with you.  I appreciate that.
Randall never does.
It's a good thing you and Lureen happened along
when you did, otherwise we'd still be stuck on the
side of the road in that there pick-up.
I told Randall we oughta take the car,
of course he'd never listen to me!
He wouldn't listen to me if
he was goin' deaf tomorrow!
I told him it'd take more than chewin' gum
and bailin' wire to fix that there pick-up.
Well, he's never been very mechanical, though.

When I was right out of SMU I coulda had
my pick of pretty much any job in North Dallas.
So my pick was Neiman Marcus,
which was a disaster, 'cause honey,
where clothes is concerned, I got no resistence.
I was spendin' more than I made,
more than Randall ever will make!
We come out here thinking ranchin' was still
big hats and Marlboros.
Boy was we behind the times!

  • well, I won't
"M" is mechanically

Lashawn tells us that Randall was never mechanically inclined.  Is that code for "not the marrying kind"?

The Twists gave the Malones a ride to the benefit dance after Randall's "dern" pickup became nonoperational.

"O" is overflows

Lashawn overflows with her life story, which seems lacking in drama and depth.

While waiting for Lureen and Lashawn after the dance, Jack's ears pricked up at Randall's suggestion of a fishing trip.

"R" is Roy's

Randall has Roy's permission to use Roy's cabin on Lake Kemp whenever he wants, and he shares this information with Jack.

Jack pricked up his ears when Randall gave him the skinny on a fishing trip at Roy's cabin.
