"T" is tripped

While Cassie tripped the light fantastic, Ennis proceeded rather to tamp it down some.

"U" is unhooks
« Reply #14791 on: September 12, 2007, 11:43:37 am »
Here's what happens before Ennis unhooks the drive-in speaker in the 2003 screenplay:

125 EXT: RIVERT0N, WYOMING: DRIVE-IN: NIGHT:

ENNIS and CASSIE sit in ENNIS'S truck, trying to watch THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK.
CASSIE is rapt, eats popcorn, swigs cheap white wine from a bottle between her knees, despite a violent wind storm that has come up, blowing trash and dust into the windshield.  The sound from old window-mounted speaker is barely audible over the windstorm. The wind is blowing dust so high into the air that the screen is partially obscured.

          ENNIS
     We ought get our money back.

          CASSIE
      (hits him on the shoulder)
     Hush up, Ennis, this is important. He's learnin'
     how to be a Jedi knight.

ENNIS tries to step the blowing dust from entering his truck cab, rocks an old flannel shirt in the crack created by the drive-in movie speaker.

          ENNIS
     My truck's fillin' with dust.

          CASSIE
       (rapt)
     Shhhhi , Turn up the volume.

          ENNIS
       (fiddling with the speaker)
     Up as high as it'll go.

A strong gust of wind carries a big panel of the screen away, leaving a rectangular hole in Luke Skywalker's face. Suddenly, ENNIS rolls down his window just enough to unhook the speaker and throw it out into the dirt. He drives off.

"V" is voider

When they met, Ennis meant to be a voider of about a case of processed beer, but by the time they parted, Ennis was an avoider of Cassie.

"W" is wastethrift
« Reply #14793 on: September 12, 2007, 12:26:14 pm »
Not wanting to be a wastethrift, Cassie put Ennis's hands and lap to productive use.

"X" is xtra-bold

In an xtra-bold move, Cassie put her feet in Ennis's lap and requested a foot rub.

"A" is assignations

Aguiree was prone to peeping in on the assignations of handsome cowboys in his employ.

"B" is buggery
« Reply #14797 on: September 12, 2007, 01:44:50 pm »
Joe Aguirre was likely less concerned with witnessing buggery than the fact that the dogs were baby-sitting the sheep.

"Now get the hell out of my trailer," Joe told Jack curtly.

"D" is derisively

Aguirre interacted derisively with pretty much everyone.
