INT:  TEXAS:  NEWSOME FARM AND RANCH:  DAY:  1969:

Two dour FARMERS are watching JACK demonstrate a fancy air-
conditioned tractor.

JACK, who can drive anything, is doing a fine job of putting
the tractor through its paces, but there's an air of boyish
inanity about him.  LUREEN, sales binders in hand, passes
behind the farmers as they exchange glances.

                              FARMER #1
               Didn't that piss-ant used to ride the
               bulls?

                              FARMER #2
               He used to try....

In response to Ennis's question, "You got a better idea?" Jack remarked, "I did, once."

When Alma suggests that Ennis take precautions when making love to her, "he said no to that, said he would be happy to leave her alone if she didn’t want any more of his kids."

"T" is timepiece

Joe Aguirre doesn't waste time asking Ennis if he has a timepiece; instead, he just takes out a cheap watch, sets it, and tosses it in Ennis's direction.

"U" is unfurled

As Ennis dashed out of the tent he unfurled the blanket and wrapped it around his shoulders; he gasped in amazement as he didn't expect to see snow on the ground on this August morning.

As Ennis dashed out of the tent he saw fit to wrap the blanket around his shoulders; he gasped in amazement as he didn't expect to see snow on the ground on this August morning.

"B" is broke-dick

While at the Motel Siesta, story Jack tells Ennis, "I ain't no broke-dick rider but I don't got the bucks a ride out this slump I'm in and I don't got the bones a keep gettin' wrecked."

"C" is carrion

Part of Ennis died a little and didn't believe what he saw as he looked at the eviscerated coyote the day after his first night with Jack; the carcass was nothing but carrion for the eagles and other raptors that flew over the high altitude of the mountain.
