"J" is jugglery
« Reply #16110 on: January 02, 2008, 06:49:06 pm »
Several times a year, Ennis practiced jugglery when he told Alma he had caught plenty of trouts, browns and other fish. 
Def: manipulation or trickery especially to achieve a desired end

This is the deleted "J". Thanks for the word, Fran.
Next up is "O".

"O" is one-line

In the year 1967, Jack contacted Ennis by postcard, to which the latter replied with a one-line message:  "You bet."

"P" is periods

Ennis and Jack finally seem to admit that their year together on Brokeback was one of the best periods of their lives - empitomized by the dozy embrace.

"S" is separated
« Reply #16115 on: January 03, 2008, 10:25:27 pm »
Jack makes it clear that he doesn't like being separated from Ennis so much:

" ... 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."

"T" is troublesome
« Reply #16116 on: January 04, 2008, 12:51:36 am »
The troublesome business of arranging to get away from ranch work several times a year started to weigh on Ennis:

"Jack, I got to work.  Them earlier days I used to quit the jobs.  You forget how it is, bein' broke all the time.  You ever hear of child support?  Let me tell you I can't quit this one.  And I can't get the time off."
