"C" is crankiness

Ennis was most likely not surprised to experience the crankiness of Jack's father, having heard Jack's stories of his unloving treatment of his son.

"D" is deliberation

There appeared to be much deliberation before Lureen lured in Jack via the famous mating call line.

Cassie seized the opportunity to introduce herself to Ennis while he was en route to the men's room.

=aside= Paul
Good theme (and another opportunity
for you to plug a Carpenters' song).

"F" is foreigners

Jack realizes that these foreigners do not speak English:

50 EXT: BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN: DAY:

A grim, grey morning. ENNIS and JACK, both mounted, the blue heelers at attention.
Glum, looking at a huge mass of milling sheep. Twenty yards away,
TWO CHILEAN SHEEPHERDERS are looking just as glum at the huge mixed herd, gesturing wildly.

                ENNIS
        What're we gonna do?

JACK wants to impress ENNIS.

                JACK
        I can handle this.

JACK, puffed up like a banty rooster, rides to the CHILEAN SHEEPHERDERS. 
ENNIS sits on Cigar Butt and curses under his breath.

                JACK
            (cont'd) (bluffing the Chileans)
        Hey there: You boys got your herd all mixed in with ours. 
        My boss's gonna chew my ass, and you got some fuckin' explainin' to do!

                CHILEAN SHEEPHERDER
        ¿Cual es su problema? ¿Qué dice?

                JACK
            (surprised)
        English.. don't one a you talk English?

                CHILEAN SHEEPHERDER
        ¿Qué?

The CHILEANS look puzzled: neither speaks English.
JACK is embarrassed, realizes his scene of bravado has failed completely.

                JACK
            (yells back to ENNIS)
        You speak Spanish?

                ENNIS
            (shakes his head - looks at the mess of sheep)
         ... son of a bitch.   

                JACK
            (to the CHILEANS)
        Tell you what, me and my partner here,
        we're gonna go cut out our sheep. That okay with you?

The CHILEAN SHEEPHERDERS look at JACK, then each other, confused.
                      [2003 screenplay]

"G" is glimmered

When Jack and Ennis first met, an attraction glimmered in the wind and the dust.

"H" is have-not

While L.D. is less than thrilled with the have-not his daughter ended up marrying, he sure is delighted with his new grandson.

Alma immediately felt that Jack was an intruder in her marriage.

"L" is leper

Once Jimbo figured out that Jack was interested in him sexually, he treated him like a leper, distancing himself immediately.

"M" is mastered
« Reply #16398 on: January 19, 2008, 11:56:50 am »
There sat John C. Twist, on his rundown ranch, denigrating Jack and his dreams.  John C. Twist, acting as though he had mastered the field of agriculture, triggering Ennis's memories of how Jack had been treated by his father.

"N" is non-union
« Reply #16399 on: January 19, 2008, 01:13:03 pm »
Many Albertans found work as non-union extras in Brokeback Mountain.  The really lucky ones, e.g., the extras appearing in the scene when Ennis meets Cassie, got to see themselves on the big screen.
