"U" is unsmoked

Though the smokes in Ennis's blue shirt remained unsmoked, except perhaps by Alma, there was no danger of the smokes in the motel room sharing their fate.

"V" is vatical
« Reply #13541 on: June 12, 2007, 11:29:47 pm »
Even though Annie Proulx called Jack's death an accident*, Ennis accepts the vatical death of Earl in the ditch as the means of death for Jack Twist.

" ...  They'd took a tire iron to him, spurred him up, drug him around by his dick until it pulled off, just bloody pulp. What the tire iron done looked like pieces a burned tomatoes all over him, nose tore down from skiddin on gravel."

def - resembling or characteristic of a prophet or prophecy

* - Annie Proulx wrote:  Ennis didn't know about the accident for months until his postcard to Jack saying that November still looked like the first chance came back stamped DECEASED.

"W" is wishfulness

There is a degree of wishfulness in Jack's words as he asks Ennis, "So what're we gonna do now?"

"X" is xtra-close

The shot of the boys' smoking in bed at the Motel Siesta was an xtra-close close-up; it was like being in bed with them.

"A" is abolish

After a scene showing Jack and Ennis assisting hippies whose van had broken down was shot, the decision was made to abolish it.

=aside=Paul
Why oh why did they delete that lovely pic of Jack on the log?  :P

"B" is brainchild

The so-called hippie scene is said to have been the brainchild of James Schamus.

The hippie scene ended up on the cutting-room floor.

"E" is extraneous

The famous hippie scene was deemed extraneous in the end and was ultimately deleted.
