JACK
It's gonna snow tonight for sure.
(look) All this time, and you ain't found nobody else to marry?

JACK lights the joint, takes a drag.

ENNIS
(noncommittal)
Been puttin' the blocks to a good-lookin' little gal over in Riverton. Waitresses part-time, wants to go to nursing school. [screenplay]

"X" is xhalation
« Reply #10761 on: February 01, 2007, 09:52:33 am »
Jack took a swallow of whiskey and, with a forceful xhalation, said, "That's one a the two things I need right now," capped and tossed it to Ennis.

"A" is available
« Reply #10763 on: February 01, 2007, 10:22:05 am »
Jack loses his patience when Ennis tells him that the next time he's available won't be until November.  Even then Mexico is out of the question.

"B" is bubbles

"The tea-colored river ran fast with snowmelt, a scarf of bubbles at every high rock, pools and setbacks streaming."  [story]

"C" is clenched
« Reply #10765 on: February 01, 2007, 10:33:13 am »
"Ennis stood as if heart-shot, face gray and deep-lined, grimacing, eyes screwed shut, fists clenched, legs caving, hit the ground on his knees." [story]

"D" is dredging
« Reply #10766 on: February 01, 2007, 10:53:18 am »
 Ennis's breath came slow and quiet, he hummed, rocked a little in the sparklight and Jack leaned against the steady heartbeat, the vibrations of the humming like faint electricity and, standing, he fell into sleep that was not sleep but something else drowsy and tranced until Ennis, dredging up a rusty but still useable phrase from the childhood time before his mother died, said, "Time to hit the hay, cowboy..." [Story]

CUT TO FLASHBACK:  EXT:  BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, WYOMING:  CAMPFIRE:  NIGHT:  CONTINUOUS:  1963:

JACK and ENNIS, much younger.

JACK and ENNIS have finished the last meal of the day. JACK stands by the campfire, warming himself.  He stands that way for a few moments, alone.

Then WE SEE two arms encircle him from behind: it is ENNIS.  [screenplay]

"F" is finality
« Reply #10768 on: February 01, 2007, 11:49:21 am »
There are strong tones of frustration and finality expressed by Jack and Ennis in the lake scene.  They both drive off in their pickups, never to see - or communicate with - each other again.

"G" is gratify
« Reply #10769 on: February 01, 2007, 12:09:43 pm »
Jack told Ennis that a "couple a high-altitude fucks once or twice a year" was not enough to gratify him.
