"P" is pickup's

...ENNIS becomes aware that the muffler is not the pickup's only problem.  It coughs, sputters, rattles from several junctures as it pulls into the gravel parking lot of the AGENCY and dies.  [screenplay]

"R" is ranked

The deck was already stacked against Jack and Ennis because deuces are ranked very low.

"S" is stake

Ennis has little to stake - two five-dollar bills in a tobacco tin - and he's saving that for a liitle spread for himself and Alma.

"T" is twosome's

This pair of deuces meet up in a dusty trailer; twenty years on, the twosome's hand is still in play.

Joe Aguirre treats the pair of deuces like underdogs from the very beginning.

"V" is valueless

Jack and Ennis knew they were valueless deuces, looking out to sheep in cowboy country.

"W" is wager

Jack was willing to wager everything on the deuces' future together, but the stakes were too high for Ennis.

"X" is xtras'
« Reply #11597 on: March 05, 2007, 07:02:39 pm »
As Joe Aguirre heads for his trailer, two unidentified, female extras are shown walking in the background.  The xtras' names are not listed in the end credits because their characters have no speaking lines; nevertheless, they are important to the movie because their presence adds realism.

"A" is afterwards
« Reply #11599 on: March 05, 2007, 08:39:04 pm »
Our two deuces listen to whose regulations they have to follow up on Brokeback and afterwards Jack suggests that:  "Since we're gonna be working together, I reckon it's time we start drinking together."
