"A" is array

While talking on the phone in what the screenplay describes as her "spotless, tacky nouveau riche living room," Lureen's face conveys an array of conflicting emotions.

When Jack offered to buy him a beer, Jimbo climbed on his high horse and said: "No thanks, cowboy.  If I was to let every rodeo hand I pulled a bull off of buy me liquor, I'd been an alcoholic long ago...."

The screenplay describes the interior decorating in Lureen and Jack's living room as "tacky nouveau riche."

Jack found elk, even the drip-drying kind, to be more esculent than beans.

"F" is far

The ranch was a meagre little place, leafy spurge taking over.  The stock was too far distant for him to see their condition, only that they were black baldies.  A porch stretched across the front of the tiny brown stucco house, four rooms, two down, two up.

"G" is genetically
« Reply #17947 on: August 20, 2008, 06:00:21 pm »
The black baldies -- black cows with white faces -- that Ennis sees as he approaches the Twist farmhouse are genetically unique.  This appearance occurs when a Hereford is crossed with a solid black breed, usually an Angus.

"I" is icicle

Exasperated at hearing Ennis shivering as he slowly turned into a human icicle, Jack called out from the tent "Stop your hammerin' and git in here!"
