"B" is beating

In the dozy embrace, Jack leans against Ennis's beating heart.  In the story, Ennis rides off into the night darkness; whereas in the film, it appears to be day.

"C" is carrying

They fended off the night for an hour with the yellow kerosene lamp and around ten Ennis rode Cigar Butt, a good night horse, through the glimmering frost back to the sheep, carrying leftover biscuits, a jar of jam and a jar of coffee with him for the next day saying he'd save a trip, stay out until supper.

"D" is daylong

After Ennis and Jack finished their daylong work on Brokeback, they relaxed by drinking, smoking and eventually loving at night.

On their wedding day, an ecclesiast oddly referred to as "Jolly Minister" married Ennis and Alma.

The fire flickers as Ennis decides to enter Jack's tent that night.

 L.D. Newsome had gobs of money:

"Lureen?  There's some serious money there.  Her old man's got it.  Got this farm machinery business.  Course he don't let her have none a the money, and he hates my fuckin guts, so it's a hard go now but one a these days--"

Ennis was intransigent when it came to spending the rest of his days with Jack.

On their latter-day trips, Ennis and Jack never went back to Brokeback Mountain.

Joe Aguirre told Ennis that somebody with supplies would meet him down at the bridge on Fridays at midday.
