I got this idea from surfing around.... So what would you say if you could step into a scene?

The two scenes I'd like to step in:

When they were parting ways after the summer of 1963 - I'd like to say to Ennis to not pass up this opportunity to continue his relationship with Jack.

On their last get-together - I'd ask Ennis to say something to Jack and not sit there like a log, when Jack said he missed him so much, he couldn't hardly stand it. :\'(

OUCH!

Tough one

Same for me, I would step in the same scene and kick Ennis *ss until next week to go back to Jack. Forget the wedding moron, you know who you are in love with. $:-\\$ :\'(

I would like to step into the after the divorce scene. When Jack comes to see Ennis, and here is what I would say:

You idiot, tell him to wait until you have brought the girls home. If you send him away now you will loose him.

This would be said to Ennis. Chameau and DB have already tried to convince him to stay with Jack after they get down from Brokeback the first time and clearly that didn't help...

That's the same scene I'd like to step into, Esme and I'd say pretty much the same

You can't turn him away just like that. He's just driven 14 hours to see you because of one call (card) Tell him to stay until you've taken the girls home and then come back and TALK TO HIM.

('Course, I'd also like to step into the SNIT and just say "don't mind me...carry on"

)

I'd also step into the divorce scene Tell Jack to wait and go inside, then I'd have a long talk with Ennis. Then I'd jump into FNIT. would'nt say nothin though just watch and listen.

I will give a twist and propose 2 scenes in which I will NOT want to step in:

1. The Reunion Kiss.

2. The Dozy Embrace.

Any intervention on my part would only mar the moment.

The scene I would most like to intervene is when Ennis leaves Jack in the last meeting. Frankly, I wouldn't know what to say in order to assuage Jack's bitterness, but I think that ANY form of intervention would have helped a bit -- perhaps even keep them together for the future.

I thnk I'd meet Ennis as he came out of the courtroom after the divorce and say, "Drop everything and go to Texas now - by train if the pickup won't make it."

He could have arranged to meet Jack well away from where he lived and they could have talked without the pressure of Ennis's job and the girls and everyone in Riverton who, Ennis thought, was watching him.

Since we are scene jumping I would definitly jump into the Sene where Jack is attacked by the bashers,armed to the teeth and SAVE JACK"S LIFE. NO DOUBT.

LuvJackNasty · « **Reply #9 on:** Nov 16, 2006, 02:32 PM »

There are so many scenes I'd love to step into.

The first one is just me being silly: I'd love to take Lureen's place and say "What are you waiting for cowboy? A Matin' call?" and then the scene would pretty much play out like in the movie.

I think I'd like to first step into the parting scene from 1963 and jump in front of Jack's truck and tell him to turn around to go get Ennis and I'd tell Ennis to get in that truck and talk to Jack.

Their first camping trip: I'd tell Ennis to pursue that sweet life and like the ghost of Christmas Future I'd warn him that if he keeps turning Jack down,one word is going to haunt him forever- the word yes- that's all you have to say and things will be different for you both.

The divorce scene: I'd tell Jack not to go anywhere; I'd grab Ennis and shake him and tell him that that man just drove 14 hours all full of hope and you are not going to send him away like that. While Ennis drops the girls off I'd tell Jack to stand up for himself and we'd share that knowledge that it wasn't Alma or the girls keeping them apart and then we'd call Ennis out on that.

The confrontation scene: First of all I want to just hug them both. I wouldn't jump in and stop it because they need to get those things out of them. But after the fight was over I'd make each sit on either side of me while I mediated the issues and offered up my opinion and advice and pretty much say that this has gone on long enough, you're both suffering because you want so badly to be together etc etc so we need to reslolve this now. Then I'd warn them that they are not leaving until there is a real resolution and introduce them to my stubbornness.

At the Twist Ranch- I'd like to just smack Papa Twist and maybe unload a few vulgarities on him for what he did to Jack.

Jack's death- First of all I wish I could jump into that scene with a gun and shoot those men and save Jack. But if I was powerless to that and too late in arriving, I'd roll him over, hold his hand and comfort him so he wouldn't be laying there dying alone. :\'(

If I had to limit myself to just one scene I'd have to pick Jack's death (I have yet to watch that in it's entirety- I can't bear to) but I'd want to be there for him; he deserved better than to not only die like that but to die alone.

Yes, it was at this moment when he probably felt he was all alone.

Brilliant post LJN, you've just about covered everything for me

Your first one isn't silly at all, or if it is, I'm silly too (well, I said it didn't I?

) cause I would give just about anything to be in Lureen's place in those scenes

Me and a million others, I'm sure

Oh, heartbreaking, heartbreaking, heartbreaking. :\'(

I remember reading an excellent fanfic called "Slow Fade" where Jack was dying on the side of the road (although it was leaning towards the accident more than the tire irons), and he was crying about having to die alone, and all he could think about was Ennis...and I'm off crying again.

And as for the stepping into a scene; when they first depart after Brokeback, I would be there yelling "FOR GOD'S SAKE, DON'T WALK AWAY! DON'T LEAVE HIM! JACK, DRIVE BACK! NOOOOO!" and probably make a fool of myself. But that's what I feel like screaming every time I see that scene; I know that the times were different, homosexuality was a sin in everyone's eyes, the men had obligations to keep and prove families, men with tire irons were always on the prowl etc, but oh...if only Jack had driven back, picked up Ennis from the alleyway and kissed him and held him, and urged him to take the risk...

...eep. Got a little carried away there.

I remember the first time watching the death scene and I was so shocked , Did'nt expect it, Did'nt wanna accept it Still don't wanna. I'd jump into the next scene and me and Ennis would comfort each other. Brings tears everytime. Damn.

We would all do this, together! Wouldn't it be great?! Down the road would descend at full speed this big group of crazy fags and fag-hags and FOG's (just using amusing language for the sake of amusement...which was more trouble than it was worth to explain), young and old, all different colors and sizes and languages even -- those guys would run for the hills!

LOL!

The divorce scene for me, too, so much. Do NOT send Jack off.

And then, the "confrontation" scene: as Jessi's poem says, "turn that truck around," I'd yell at Ennis. Don't leave Jack this way.

Oh, this is wonderful, LJN, all of it. (Boy, I sure I want you on my side!)

LOL -- you being Lureen in that scene. (Can I come and watch? Sorry -- crude me.)

Except I could just cry right now, about Jack dying alone... And don't forget to tell him how much Ennis loves him.

I would deliver a swift kick to Aguirre's nether-regions to prevent him from spying on the boys in their own private moment; whenever I see that face emerging from the binoculars I feel seriously annoyed.

I would tell Aguirre to give me the bimoculars and get back to his office, I would keep an eye on the boys and then give Jack the message about his uncle

I'd also step into the scene at the beginning in Aguirre's trailer, and the one with baby Bobby (or the Thanksgiving scene) and tell both Aguirre and LD Newsome to learn some manners and and respect, just because they have money it doesn't give them the right to speak to people like they're something they just scraped off the bottom of their shoe

JT · « **Reply #28 on:** Nov 24, 2006, 05:25 PM »

I would love to jump into many scenes, not just one.

I would go way back into the past and shoot the people that killed Earl, just so that Ennis won't be corrupted, and Earl and Rich might have a better shot at life together. If that's too late, next.

The Brokeback incident was too beautiful to interfere with so I would leave them alone up there. What I would do is to convince Ennis to ask Jack for a ride after they come down the mountain, or convince Jack to give Ennis a ride and they drove to Lightning Flat instead. Too late? Next.

Convince Ennis not to get marry, and convince Jack not to get to know Laureen. Failed? Next.

After the divorce scene, convince Ennis not to send Jack away, but wink at him and tell him to wait in cabin till evening. Then Ennis can have fun with his girls, bring them home to their mother afterward, then spend the rest of the week with Jack. I agree that Ennis need to be kick in the ar** sometimes to wake him up.

In the final meeting, make Ennis hold Jack after he said,"Sometime I miss you so much, I can hardly stand it". Then tell them they have to stay together to survive.

In Jack's death scene, I would shoot, stab, or cut-up his attackers thus giving Jack another chance. Then telling him he's not safe here in Texas anymore and he has to see Ennis. But if I'm to late in saving him, I would call an ambulance and stay with Jack to make sure he won't drown in his own blood. If he's dying, I would be there holding his bloody, broken body so he would know someone is with him.

In his scene with Jack's parents, I would create some diversions to get the Twists out of the house so that Ennis could take some of Jack ashes to be scattered in BBM. If I failed that....

I would hug and cry with Ennis in the final scene.

If I have to choose one, it would be Jack's death scene. If he's alive, there will always be chances.
