"H" is handful

Ennis walking down the street, carrying a handful of clothes is such a beautiful way to express his situation in life, and such a poignant way to open the film.   And then to show his handful of valuable clothes at the end is such a heartbreaking way to end a film.

"I" is individuals

Jack and Ennis came to Brokeback as two individuals looking for a direction in life, even though Aguirre referred to them as a "pair of deuces going nowhere."

I was going to use "handful" if we got back to Tent Scene I again, but I like the way you used it.

After Jack drove in on his junky old truck, he started talking trash to it.

"L" is low-level

Hungry for any job, Jack and Ennis had signed up with Farm and Ranch Employment for low-level jobs herding sheep up on high levels.

def. = being of low importance or rank

Hoping to maximize his appeal to both the unknown hot cowboy and Joe Aguirre, Jack gave himself a quick shave.

Before Aguirre showed up, Jack was able to give himself a not-so-close shave in the nick of time.

In the nick of time, Jack gave himself a quick shave to maximize his chances of looking optically pleasing to Aguirre, I mean, Ennis.

Jack gave himself a quick shave so he would be optically pleasing to the red-hot cowboy leaning on the ledge.

"S" is stint

As they waited to apply for a stint as sheep tenders up on Brokeback, Jack and Ennis did not stint on checking each other out on the sly.
