As of November 6, 1975, Ennis was required to pay child support in the sum of $125 a month for each of his dependent children until their eighteenth birthdays.

When Ennis said his next time away wouldn't be until November, Jack lamented the friggin' frigidness of their surroundings.

"G" is gussy up

Alma was willing to gussy up for the church social, but Ennis wasn't interested in spending a Saturday night with the fire-and-brimstone crowd.

"H" is heralds

The fourth summer since Brokeback Mountain came on and in June Ennis had a general delivery letter from Jack Twist, the first sign of life in all that time.

Alma has no idea that this letter [postcard in the film] heralds the return of a force of nature into Ennis's lonely life.

When Jack finally came through on the 24th, Alma felt that he was an intrusion on what she thought was a happy marriage.

After her marriage in November of 1963, Alma expected her husband would start climbing the ladder of success, but he never got past the first few rungs.

After her marriage in November of 1963, Alma expected her husband would start climbing the ladder of success, but he never got past the first few rungs, because he was having the naughtiest of thoughts while he wrung it out.

"O" is ousting

Alma succeeded in ousting Ennis from the family home in November, 1975, but she did nothing about outing him until Thanksgiving a year later.

"P" is pratfall

The day Ennis opened up to Jack about his family was also the day Jack performed a noisy pratfall into the camping gear, which made them both break up laughing and brought them closer together.
