"S" is strings

As the BARTENDER is about to bring the CLOWN his beer, JACK
limps over and hands the BARTENDER some bills.

The CLOWN [looks] surprised.

                         JACK
                    (to bartender)
          Like to buy Jimbo a beer.  Best rodeo
          clown I ever worked with.

JACK stands close to his shoulder.

                         JIMBO
                    (firmly)
          No thanks, cowboy.  If I was to let every
          rodeo hand I pulled a bull off of buy me
          liquor, I'd been an alcoholic long ago...

There is something, a frissson, a vibe, that gives the CLOWN
an uneasy feeling... although he remains perfectly
friendly... takes his beer, stands up.

                         JIMBO (CONT'D)
          Pulling bulls off you buckaroos is just
          my job.  Save your money for your next
          entry fee, cowboy.

Watches JIMBO walk over, sit down with a table full of calf-
ropers, all of them wearing piggin strings over their
shoulders like bandaliers.

"T" is tipplers

Whether on the mountain, at home or in bars, both Jack and Ennis were inveterate tipplers.

Jack and Ennis were inveterate at upending longnecks.

I first read that as "invertebrate".  :)
You need backbone to drink that much.

"V" is vocable

Jack's pretend bull ride, performed while holding onto a whiskey bottle, began with the vocable "yee-haw!"

The Twists and the Malones were wining and dining at the benefit dance.

"X" is x-virgin

All that whiskey drinking up on Brokeback led to Ennis's becoming an x-virgin.

With enough whiskey in them, they may have appeared to be invertebrates  :laugh:

"A" is altered

Although whiskey may have altered Ennis's mind, by TS2, he sobered to his decision.

"B" is bottled-up

Ennis could only uncork his bottled-up emotions after he hit the bottle.

Great round announcement.

Haven't you heard about Fayette's crush on Randall?

"C" is curvy

ENNIS sits at a table by himself, a few empties in front of him.

The song ends.

The waitress, CASSIE, mid-twenties, livelier than ALMA, very appealing, curvy in jeans and T-shirt, struts past ENNIE'S booth to the jukebox, a glass of white wine in her hand.
