"J" is jobholders
« Reply #11700 on: March 09, 2007, 01:21:40 am »
Jack and Ennis seem to feel lucky to be jobholders in any job, and are unwilling to question Aguirre's demands:

ENNIS (frustrated, making a point) Fuck Aguirre? What if we need a work for him again? We got a stick this out.   [2003 screenplay]

Jack and Ennis, the dogs, the horses, the mules, and a multitude of sheep made their way up the mountain.

"N" is namelessly

Aguirre spoke to Ennis and Jack namelessly during the interview, using "finger-pointing" and playing cards as his way of addressing them.

"O" is obstruction

Forest Service regulations were just another obstruction that Joe Aguirre felt he could flout - if it were to his financial benefit to do so.

"R" is rangers

To keep the Forest Service rangers from discovering that Jack was sleeping with the sheep on the Q.T., Joe Aguirre instructed him to make no fire, roll up the pup tent every morning, and to leave no sign in the pasture.

"S" is saddling

After saddling up on a rainy day, Jack turns to Ennis and says, "No more beans."

The mountainside was teeming with sheep.  Jack and Ennis were teaming to tend to them.

"U" is untrodden
« Reply #11709 on: March 09, 2007, 05:42:24 pm »
Jack and Ennis and the blue heelers urged their flock up from Signal and into the high pastures along paths untrodden by all but a few hardy mountain travelers.
