"T" is tries

INT:  RIVERTON, WYOMING:  DEL MAR APARTMENT:  MORNING:  LATER:  1967:

ALMA sits at the kitchen table, dishevelled, hasn't slept all night.  Nervous, a cup of coffee in front of her.

ENNIS comes through the door.

ALMA stands... confused yet relieved ENNIS came back home, struggles with complex feelings.  Keeps big emotion inside.  Tries to catch his eye.  [screenplay]

"U" is undenied

Ennis's relationship with Jack went unaccused and undenied as they jumped in Jack's pickup and went off looking for something to eat.

"V" is vaguely

When Ennis finally returned from his night with Jack, he was clearly preoccupied, replying vaguely to Alma's questions.

"W" is wondering

After Jack and Ennis leave for the motel, Alma is confused and unable to sleep because she is wondering if her husband will even come home.

"X" is xuberancy

Alma sees Ennis's xuberancy after the kissing scene in the gangway; and then he comes back all perky from the motel.

"A" is arguably

The night Alma spent worrying about Ennis while he and Jack were at the Siesta Motel was arguably the unhappiest of her marriage.

"B" is bites

Alma is filled with complex feelings after what she saw on the stairwell, but rather than confront Ennis, she bites her tongue.

Alma is overcome with the complexness of the Jack Twist situation and her resulting feelings.

"D" is desolation

Alma is unable to hide her desolation as Ennis departs for a day or two up in the mountains with Jack.
