Ennis:  "Like I said, Alma and me's gettin' married in December.  Try to get somethin' on a ranch.  You?"  [story]

Jack tried to be openhandedly generous to Ennis when he offered him a loan but Ennis didn't want him to gain the upper hand.

"P" is pressing

"The next week Joe Aguirre sent word to bring them down -- another, bigger storm was moving in from the Pacific -- and they packed in the game and moved off the mountain with the sheep, stones rolling at their heels, purple cloud crowding in from the west and the metal smell of coming snow pressing them on."  [story]

Both Jack and Ennis were repressing their dreams and desires as they ended their summer together.

After Ennis had taken a swipe at him, Jack swiped his shirt.

"T" is tumbled
« Reply #11036 on: February 11, 2007, 08:23:15 pm »
     "Well, see you around, I guess."  The wind tumbled an empty feed bag down the street until it fetched up under his truck.
     "Right," said Jack, and they shook hands, hit each other on the shoulder, then there was forty feet of distance between them and nothing to do but drive away in opposite directions.

"U" is unaccommodating
« Reply #11037 on: February 11, 2007, 08:37:28 pm »
Ennis seemed to be totally unaccommodating of any possibility other than "Like I said, me and Alma's gettin' married in November."

"V" is vagrant

After coming down the mountain, Jack spoke of coming back the following summer, but in the end he resumed his vagrant lifestyle of going from rodeo to rodeo to ride the bulls.

Jack checks his sideview mirror and sees Ennis walking out of his life.
