"V" is voyaged
« Reply #14990 on: September 24, 2007, 05:03:12 pm »
Jack voyaged all the way to Riverton on the hope that the newly divorced Ennis would be ready for some real travels.   However Jack voyaged on alone, heading to Mexico to console himself.

                         JACK
               (stunned)
          November?  What in hell happened to
          August?  Christ, Ennis, you had a fuckin'
          week to say some little word about this.

ENNIS is silent.

                         JACK (CONT'D)
          And why's it we're always in the friggin'
          cold weather?  We oughta go south, where
          it's warm.  We oughta go to Mexico.

After an xcogitative interlude, Jack decided that Mexico was the place.

"A" is appetitive
« Reply #14994 on: September 24, 2007, 05:37:43 pm »
Nothing, not even cherry cake made by Jack's mom, had enough appetitive power to make Ennis think of food on that day, in that kitchen, on that ranch, ...   Nothing.

"Ennis sat at the kitchen table with Jack’s father. Jack’s mother, stout and careful in her movements as though recovering from an operation, said, 'Want some coffee, don’t you? Piece a cherry cake?'"

"D" is dole

Jack's mom wanted to dole out a piece of cherry cake to Ennis, but he was too doleful to accept it.

"E" is expressive
« Reply #14998 on: September 25, 2007, 07:57:52 am »
Mrs. Twist was very selective in what she said, but her demeanor was very expressive; and she made Ennis feel that someone else was mourning Jack.
