"I" is independence

Jack showed independence by telling off old LD.

Bitte sehr, but it's southendmd, without the "b".  I'm in Massachusetts, not Indiana LOL.

"L" is left-handedly

Once football was no longer a distraction, Bobby gripped his spoon left-handedly and began eating whatever was in his bowl.

"M" is multiple

L.D. defied his host by making multiple attempts to turn the television set back on to watch the football game.

Welcome to the game.

"N" is neanderthal

LD lumbered over to the TV like the neanderthal he is.

L.D. offends Jack by turning the football game back on after Jack has just turned it off.

  • There's no reins on this one....
"P" is patchy

Jack and his father-in-law had a patchy relationship, what with L.D.'s opposition to Lureen's marriage, followed by episodes like the Thanksgiving football game.

Jack broke up the back-and-forth TV routine with his wicked invective.

"S" is shuffles

INT:  CHILDRESS, TEXAS:  JACK & LUREEN'S HOUSE: THANKSGIVING:  DAY:  1977:

JACK and LUREEN'S home.  Wall-to-wall carpeting, fairly luxurious, particularly in comparison to ENNIS'S life.  Many photos of LUREEN winning barrel-racing trophies.  One of JACK, the one taken in the arena the day they met.

JACK, LUREEN, BOBBY, age ten, LUREEN'S long-suffering MOTHER and L.D. NEWSOME, JACK's prick of a father-in-law. The table is set for a full Thanksgiving dinner, huge turkey and all the trimmings.  As everyone shuffles into their places at the table, WE HEAR the TV in the background. Football game.

"T" is touchdown

Bobby was more interested in seeing which team scored a touchdown than he was in eating his cereal.

"U" is unintentional

Following Jack's verbal victory, Lureen gave an unintentional little smile, but quickly caught herself.
