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!
