"I" is intermingling
« Reply #14650 on: September 01, 2007, 09:59:06 pm »
With feelings of anger intermingling with those of regret and love, Jack told Ennis wearily, "I wish I knew how to quit you."

"L" is loquacity
« Reply #14651 on: September 01, 2007, 11:01:02 pm »
Story Ennis lost his loquacity when Jack said "I wish I knew how to quit you."

However movie Ennis continues his loquacity after Jack says "I wish I knew how to quit you."

                Ennis
Well why don't you?
Why don't you just let me be, huh?
It's because of you, Jack, that I'm like this.
I'm nothin... I'm nowhere...
Get the fuck off me!

                Jack
Shh, shh, it's all right, it's all right.
Damn you, Ennis.

                Ennis
I can't stand this any more, Jack.

"M" is masking
« Reply #14652 on: September 02, 2007, 10:26:52 am »
After years of masking his feelings, Jack exclaimed: "Tell you what, we could a had a good life together, a fuckin real good life. You wouldn't do it, Ennis, so what we got now is Brokeback Mountain. Everthing built on that. It's all we got, boy, fuckin all, so I hope you know that if you don't never know the rest. Count the damn few times we been together in twenty years. Measure the fuckin short leash you keep me on, then ask me about Mexico and then tell me you'll kill me for needin it and not hardly never gettin it. You got no fuckin idea how bad it gets. I'm not you. I can't make it on a couple a high-altitude fucks once or twice a year. You're too much for me, Ennis, you son of a whoreson bitch. I wish I knew how to quit you."

"O" is omnia

Although Jack wanted to think that Amor omnia vincit when it came to having a life with Ennis, Ennis persisted in regarding that philosophy cum grano salis.

"P" is pent-up

Jack expressed his pent-up frustrations to Ennis by exclaiming: " ... You're too much for me, Ennis, you son of a whoreson bitch.  I wish I knew how to quit you."

"R" is resentment
« Reply #14656 on: September 03, 2007, 06:51:49 pm »
Resentment flourished on both sides - on Jack's for Ennis not wanting the sweet life, on Ennis's for Jack being the cause of Ennis being nothing and nowhere.

"S" is sentimental

Annie eschewed all that was sentimental when she wrote Jack's line:  "You're too much for me, Ennis, you son of a whoreson bitch.  I wish I knew how to quit you".

"U" is unsparing
« Reply #14659 on: September 03, 2007, 09:46:02 pm »
After long years of holding back, Jack was unsparing in his answer to Ennis about Mexico:  "Hell yes, I been.  Where's the fuckin' problem?"
