Here is something like what I thought BBM would have been.
Everything the same up to the kitchen scene with Ennis and Alma.
Alma: Ennis, do you know a Jack?
Ennis: Why?
Alma: A post card came for you today, looks interesting.
Alma: Did you cowboy with him or something?
Ennis: Him and me herded sheep one summer, and did a little fishing. He is a good fishing buddy.
Card Reads: "Friend this letter is long over due. I rented the old Nelson Ranch,
and I am in desperate need of a good ranch hand. Drop me line if you would be interested. Jack"
"Good to have you aboard. I will be driving in from Lightening Flats on the 24th,
will meet you at the ranch to discuss terms. I may be late, please make yourself at home
if you get there before me. Jack"
Ennis arrives early just to make sure he does not miss Jack.
He waits impatiently, having a cigarette and a beer he found in the fridge.
Bored, and looking around, Ennis finds Jack's Bloody shirt and his hidden inside.
Ennis suddenly realizes that Jack cares even more than he had thought.
As a symbolic gift to Jack, Ennis puts his shirt over Jacks, and returns it to where he found it.
Ennis (thinking): When Jack finds this, he will know that I know, and what I think about it.
Ennis hears and then sees Jack pulling up to the bunk house.
Jack Fucking Twist!
Jack: Son of a bitch.
Ennis (whispering): Let's go upstairs.
Jack: I have been thinking about you.
Ennis begins work on the little cow/calf operation, which he enjoys very much.
The pay is good, and the hours are excellent.
Ennis: Alma, the boss needs me at the ranch, we have heifers that have begun to calf.
Please take the girls.
Alma: But you was going to watch the kids, I have 3 hours before my shift is over.
Ennis: I have to be there when the cows calf, that is my job.
Alma: What about my job?
Ok, I will see if my sister can watch them.
Ennis: Ok, see you in a couple of days.
Alma: I am so sorry, Monroe, I will make it up to you.
Ennis: Jack, this is my wife Alma. Alma this is my new boss, Jack.
Alma: Nice to meet you.
Jack: Same here. You got kids?
Ennis: Yeah, two girls, Alma Jr and Jenny.
Jack: I have one, a boy, smiles a lot, married the cutest little gal in Childress.
Ennis takes care of the herd, the quiet outdoors reminds him of the times in the mountains.
Of course, Jack is around as well.
Alma tearfully tells Ennis that her and Monroe have taken up, and she is now pregnant.
Judge: Del Mar divorce granted this 6th day of November, 1975.
Ennis (thinking): The cows sure look good this year.
Jack: I sure am glad that 5 day cattle roundup is done, what a long few days.
Ennis: I will take the horses back to the ranch, and will meet you there.
Ennis: Jack, before you go, I have something I need to talk about.
Alma is taking the girls away. They are moving to North Carolina.
I may never get to see them again.
I can not loose them, how can I live without them? Jack...
Jack: It will be alright, it will be alright.
Ennis: Jack, this was a good idea to get out here again for a time.
Jack: With all you are going through,
I thought it might be a way to get your mind off of it.
I am not sure what I would do if Lureen tried to take Bobby away.
I sure feel for you.
Jack (teasing): So, you have not found anyone in all this time to marry?
Naw, but you would not believe this little gal in the bar the other night,
I had to put the blocks on that one.
Jack: Yeah, know what you mean, I was accused of sneaking off with the foremans wife a couple of times.
Thought for sure I was going to get shot or something either by her husband or Lureen.
Ennis (evil grin glowing): You probably deserved it.
A couple years later Alma Jr shows up, all growed up.
Alma Jr: I am getting married. I was hoping you could come.
Ennis: Well, I think I have to be down at the roundup about that time.
Ennis: Well, guess we'll just have to get another cowboy.
My little girl getting married, now that is not something that happens every day.
Alma Jr: Thanks, Daddy.
Ennis: Jack, I am getting tired of driving in every day, and driving back to my trailer every night.
What do you think about me moving to the ranch?
Jack (teasing): Well, I do not know...
(suddenly serious) What about your tire iron story? Have you changed your mind?
Ennis: I have thought and thought about that, and I have come to the conclusion
there are things worse than death, like living on without you.
Jack remembers the first time he wanted Ennis to move in with him...
Ennis: Alma Jr is getting married November 7th.
Jack (teasing): You know what that means don't you?
Ennis: What Jack?
Jack: Well, soon you will be a wrinkled old ass grandpa...
Ennis: If I am a grandpa, what does that make you?
Jack: A wrinkled old grandma? haha
Ennis: Jack, that is real smart. Next I know you will
have your hair in a bun, wearing high heels and a pink
flowered dress. Jack fucking twist, really thinking there...
Jack, I swear...
