Jack's mother asked Ennis pleasantly: “Want some coffee, don’t you? Piece a cherry cake?”

While at the Motel Siesta, story Ennis inquired, "You do it with other guys?  Jack?"  Jack replied, "Shit no."

"...that dozy embrace solidified in his memory as the single moment of artless, charmed happiness in their separate and difficult lives."

"T" is townspeople

Jack didn't know where Ennis was living after his divorce, so he had to ask about ten different townspeople for directions.

At the beginning of TS1, Ennis delivers a line that is practically unintelligible:  "What are you doin'?"

"A" is agricultural

Down in Texas Jack's father-in-law died and Lureen, who inherited the farm equipment business, showed a skill for management and hard deals.  Jack found himself with a vague managerial title, traveling to stock and agricultural machinery shows.  He had some money now and found ways to spend it on his buying trips.  A little Texas accent flavored his sentences, "cow" twisted into "kyow" and "wife" coming out as "waf."  He'd had his front teeth filed down and capped, said he'd felt no pain, and to finish the job grew a heavy mustache.

At Thanksgiving dinner, Jack Twist and his father-in-law bicker over what to do about Bobby's preference for watching football on TV instead of eating his meal.
