Biker #2 trembles and tells Ennis he'd rather not eat any of his teeth tonight.

"U" is uh-oh

Gaping at Ennis's unprecedented violence, Alma's response is in the "uh-oh" range.

def.: interjection used to express alarm, foreboding, or dismay.

"V" is violence-shunning

From her reaction to Ennis's confrontation with the bikers, Alma appears to be a violence-shunning type of person who is very protective of her children.

"W" is witnessed

BIKER #2
(polite)
Not tonight, bud...I'd sure rather not.
Backs away, dragging his unconscious friend along with him.
Alma and the girls stare at Ennis, stunned and wide-eyed: they have witnessed a kind of fury in him that they have never seen before.   [screenplay]

The bikers xasperatingly ignored Ennis's warning about their slop-bucket mouths.

Round 375 !!!!!   

Why, Mama?
That's more food than I can eat in two weeks.

A round or two dedicated to the kids of Brokeback.

Actually Bobby said:  "Why, Mama? I'm gonna be eatin' this food for the next two weeks."

"A" is amuse

While her daddy is preoccupied with thoughts of Jack, Alma Jr. and her mama amuse themselves on the sofa -- Alma Jr. with a coloring book and Alma Sr. with a magazine.

Bobby is sitting on one of six matching chairs as he makes it clear that he would prefer to watch football than to eat.

"D" is dyslexia
« Reply #10329 on: January 19, 2007, 12:20:09 am »
Jack was convinced that 15-year-old Bobby had dyslexia or something, no doubt about it, because he "couldn't hardly read."
