"D" is deed

Ennis's ordering soup was one small deed he did for Jack.

Welcome back, dude.
How was the motor trip?

"E" is enchilada

Jack thought Ennis was one hot tamale, so it was no wonder he eventually went for the whole enchilada in TS1.

Welcome back!  So you were smiling without benefit of the law?
Sounds like you had a good birthday.  ;)

"F" is fortitude

Ennis's fear and lack of fortitude kept him from living "a sweet life" with Jack.

"G" is guzzle

Jack and Ennis had a tendency to guzzle whatever libation was at hand; be it beer, or whiskey.

"H" is handled

Ennis initially thought that the situation in TS1 was too hot to handle, but after getting a handle on things he handled it with expertise.

"I" is imprison
« Reply #13115 on: May 19, 2007, 11:08:29 am »
"On the mountain, Ennis not only loves Jack, he fights him.  Just down from the mountain, he punishes himself, banging his head literally and figuratively against a wall.  Often seeming nearly catatonic, he erupts into rages against bullying bikers, against his ex-wife, against a motorist whom he beats and who, in turn, beats him.

 "These repeated scenes of violence cannot be the cathartic violence of a typical Western.  Traditionally, Westerns resolve themselves through a showdown:  men confront each other with something at stake, and a climactic violent scene clarifies everything.  But the violence in this movie can settle nothing because the heroes themselves have internalized the conventions that imprison them.  Their fighting is self-destructive.  It can never hit its true target.  It can provide no resolution."

"J" is jeans-removing

Once Ennis got the picture in TS1, he became a jeans-removing sex machine.

"L" is lords

The night of TS1, Ennis and Jack got drunk as lords and had suitably noble hangovers the next day.

"M" is misinterpretation

Jack's misinterpretation of Ennis's postcard about the divorce resulted in his driving from Childress to Riverton for nothing.

"N" is noncommittally
« Reply #13119 on: May 19, 2007, 04:06:19 pm »
While Jack "redlined it, couldn't get here fast enough", Ennis noncommittally responded, "Me....I dunno."
