The “happy tussle” shows us (and Aguirre) an unusual sight: Ennis as a prankster.

"Q" is queuing

After coming down the mountain, the sheep were queuing up to get counted and into their trailers.


=aside=
I'm queueing up just to get a word in edgewise!
Y'all are lightnin' fast.

Anne Hathaway: An actor friend of mine said, "Read this [Brokeback Mountain] script." I did, and it was a heartbreaking and very real love story.   [Production Notes]

”The room stank of semen and smoke and sweat and whiskey, of old carpet and sour hay, saddle leather, shit and cheap soap.”
(More short story; - that sentence really has more than one "s" going for it. And it bears repeating for other reasons too.......)

"T" is teasippers
« Reply #5435 on: August 01, 2006, 04:59:56 pm »
My feeble research shows that Texas U students are called teasippers, and this is where the enigmatic exchange between Ennis and Alma about "Texans don't drink coffee?" originates.  Who knew Ennis could be so clever?

"U" is unpredictable
« Reply #5436 on: August 01, 2006, 05:04:05 pm »
Her (Annie Proulx's) narration, with its echoes of Western genre fiction, is knobby and elliptical, driven by an engine as unpredictable as the one that runs Jack Twist's troublesome truck, with the result that it often backs into scenes that a more conventional writer would place front and center.     Men in Love - A Brokeback Review by David Leavitt

"V" is veritas

Cassie disproved the ancient saying "in vino veritas". She never managed to find out the truth about Ennis even if she kept drinking wine.


Def:
Latin saying: There's truth in wine ( ie. Alcohol will make people speak the truth)

"W" is wilted

Jack’s expression wilted when he discovered Ennis and he weren’t going to be together after the divorce.

Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.
