"O" is obstructing

When Ennis and Cassie first met, Cassie was attracting his attention with a bouncy tube top, flingy blonde hair, and a snappy number on the juke box, not to mention obstructing his path to the restroom.

Thanks for returning the favor  ;)

"P" is proud

Upon meeting OMT, Ennis said: "I feel awful bad about Jack. Can’t begin to say how bad I feel. I knew him a long time. I come by to tell you that if you want me to take his ashes up there on Brokeback like his wife says he wanted I’d be proud to.”

Randall Malone knew at their first meeting that Jack was someone who could be relied upon to be discreet.

"S" is stone-faced

EXT:  OUTSIDE DEL MAR APARTMENT:  LANDING: RIVERTON:  LATE
AFTERNOON:  CONINUOUS:  1967:

ENNIS and JACK have pulled back from one another now and come
up the back stairs and stand in the little foyer.  ALMA stands in the
kitchen.

                         ENNIS:
               (glad for the dim light)
          Alma, this is Jack Twist.  Jack, my wife
          Alma.

                         JACK
          Howdy.

                         ALMA
               (flat voice)
          'lo.

ENNIS, his chest heaving, does not turn away from ALMA, but can still
smell Jack -- the intensely familiar odor of cigarettes, musky sweat, and
a faint sweetness like grass, and with it the rushing cold of the mountain.

ALMA has seen what she has seen, having aged years in the space of a
few moments:  sees her husband's turmoil... and notices JACK'S trembling
hands.

Baby JENNY cries.

                         JACK
               (trembles)
          You got a kid?

                         ENNIS
          Two little girls:  Alma Jr., and Jenny.

ALMA is stone-faced.

                         JACK
               (halting, very aware of Alma)
          I got a boy.  Eight months old.  Smiles a
         lot.  I married the prettiest little gal in
         Childress, Texas.  Lureen.

ENNIS is eager to leave.

                         ENNIS
          Jack and me is goin' out and get a drink.
          Might not get back tonight, we get to
          drinkin' and talkin'.

                         ALMA
          Sure enough.

                         JACK
          Pleased to meet you, ma'am.

"T" is tip

After Jack tried to pick up Jimbo's tab, the bartender put in his two cents and tried to gave Jack a tip about calf-roping.

"V" is vicariously
« Reply #16406 on: January 19, 2008, 08:40:21 pm »
As the movie opens we meet Ennis Del Mar and then proceed to vicariously travel through twenty years of his life - complete with a flashback.

def - Felt or undergone as if one were taking part in the experience or feelings of another

"W" is woefully

The two bikers were woefully mistaken in their judgment of Ennis's annoyance factor, as illustrated by their continuing off-color remarks.
