"B" is barrel-racing

INT:  CHILDRESS, TEXAS:  JACK & LUREEN'S HOUSE:  THANKSGIVING:  DAY:  1977:

JACK and LUREEN'S home.  Wall-to-wall carpeting, fairly luxurious, particularly in comparison to ENNIS'S life.  many photos of LUREEN winning barrel-racing trophies.  One of JACK, the one taken in the arena the day they met.

JACK, LUREEN, BOBBY, age ten, LUREEN'S long-suffering MOTHER and L.D. NEWSOME, JACK'S prick of a father-in-law.  The table is set for a full Thanksgiving dinner, huge turkey and all the trimmings.  As everyone shuffles into their places at the table, WE HEAR the TV in the background.  Football game.

Have fun.  We'll miss you.

As one would expect of the town grocer, Monroe provided a lovely spread of goodies for Thanksgiving dinner, including the requisite cranberries.

"F" is flounced

Flounced is the curtain at Alma and Monroe's; flouncing is Ennis as he goes out the door.

"G" is gobblers

Of the two gobblers served up for Thanksgiving dinner in Childress and Riverton, only the latter was subject to the ministrations of the not-so-macho electric knife.

"H" is high-handedness

As Jack started to carve the turkey, L.D. stepped in with his usual high-handedness and took the carving tools right out of his hands.

In this image, Alma's incipient incendiarism is imminent.

Jack acted like a lackey in response to the stud duck's protestations; later Jack cried foul.
