Ennis jocundly told his daughter he would try to be back from fishing next weekend for the church picnic: "All right, as long as I don't have to sing."

Jack's klunker of a truck klunked its way into Aguirre's trailer parking lot.

The two lovebirds, Jack and Lureen, made their nest in the back seat of the Newsome family T-bird.

"Ennis said the kind of riding that interested him lasted longer than eight seconds and had some point to it.  Money's a good point, said Jack, and Ennis had to agree."  [story]

"N" is necessarily

Jack and Ennis's forays were necessarily brief and in the middle/back of nowhere.

"O" is ogling

After ogling Jack and realizing he was ogling her, Lureen sashayed up to him with her first line in the movie:  "What you waitin' for cowboy? A mating call?"  That was the same day that both Jack and Lureen both lost their ........ mmm ....... hats.

"Shot a coyote just first light," he told Jack the next evening, sloshing his face with hot water, lathering up soap and hoping his razor had some cut left in it, while Jack peeled potatoes.  "Big son of a bitch.  Balls on him size a apples.  I bet he'd took a few lambs.  Looked like he could a eat a camel.  You want some a this hot water?  There's plenty."

"Q" is quester's

Regarding Jack's wanting a life with Ennis, the quester's quest proved quite quixotic.

"R" is rattles

Signal Wyoming, early summer day 1964:
Jack drives through town in his truck, which rattles and sputters louder than ever. Drums his fingers on the steering wheel in time to "Faded Love" by Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys, which blares from his fuzzy radio. Eyes the sidewalks and dilapidated storefronts, as if looking for someone:  Ennis. 
Nothing, just a skinny kid on a bike being blown around by the wind, and two old women pulling their grocery carts.  Jack parks in the dirt lot of the Farm and Ranch Employment trailer, dust and fine gravel pelting his truck's windows like hail.   [2003 screenplay]

"...they came together on paper as herder and camp tender for the same sheep operation north of Signal."  [story]
