Ennis "gets up, scratching the grey wedge of belly and pubic hair, shuffles to the gas burner, pours leftover coffee in a chipped enamel pan." [story]

Monroe really doesn't mind that there are nuts and glass all over the floor at the supermarket, on the day that the heifers all decided to calve at the same time.

JPWagoneer, your post that Ennis' mother's first car was a Hudson is speculation, and ABCz answers have to be based on something that is or was Brokeback Mountain. The short story, movie, or screenplay versions do not tell us anything about Mrs. del Mar's first car or, for that matter, whether she even knew how to drive.

We need a replacement "H" word for Round 254.

Ennis wasn't moved by Jack's persistent entreaties for them to live together.

Jack and Ennis were the summer hires for the sheepherding job on Brokeback Mountain.

This is the replacement "H" but I will delete it if I am out-of-turn.

U R good. The skip-two-turns-or-else rule does not apply to replacement wordz.

Ennis' flat-out refusal to have a life together was a constant source of frustation for Jack.

Cans of Green Giant products are on the top shelf at the Riverton Supermarket.

Scene: Higgins Gift Shop

Ennis himself ordered the BBM postcard and he ordered it for himself!!

=comment= Hudson
Mrs. del Mar drove a Hudson car?
BBM never said she even drove!
Mr. del Mar surely cudn't drive!

In fact the whole movie is a rich, spacious, passionate way of showing, not telling, feelings that dare not speak their name - and doing so with superb intelligence and magnificent candour.

"The movie says this directly, without words; shows them strikingly unalike, right off. Ennis has hitched a ride through the night in a big truck; he hops off, walks into Signal, shrinks, hands in his coat pockets, hides under his hat from the daylight, from other eyes, as he waits by Aguirre's office trailer steps. A train passes -- through gaps between cars we glimpse him smoke a cigarette. The train recedes into the distance -- Jack barrels along the road towards us in his beaten up pickup. It turns, skids to a halt with a couple of jolts, coughs, splutters, spurts of smoke. Jack gets out, leans against it, hands on hips, open: the opposite of Ennis.
