"A" is aftermath
« Reply #8861 on: November 24, 2006, 10:01:06 am »
In the aftermath of that 1977 Thanksgiving, both Jack and Ennis were changed:  Jack more assertive after speaking up to old LD; and Ennis perhaps more fearful, now that Alma knew his secret.

"B" is blew

After Monroe finished using the electric carving knife, Ennis blew a fuse in the kitchen when Alma mentioned his "fishing trips."

"C" is Cosell's
« Reply #8863 on: November 24, 2006, 10:29:12 am »
Beginning of the Thanksgiving scene in Childress:

We hear Howard Cosell's voice in the background coming from the TV, commenting on the game plan of the Dallas Cowboys.    [2003 screenplay]

=aside=
I wonder how Howard would have announced the end of the Thanksgiving scenes.

"D" is drags

"Without hesitation, Ennis runs around the pickup, punches right inside the open driver window four or five times.  Then [he] yanks open the driver door, drags the huge man out in the slushy street, pummelling him and kicking him."  [screenplay]

  • There's no reins on this one....
"E" is edifying

Bobby Twist could look back at Thanksgiving of 1977 as an edifying experience, having observed the consequences of flouting parental authority.

"F" is fished

Ennis told Alma that he and Jack still fished together, "not often" though.

"G" is gobble

While Ennis could gobble up the Thanksgiving meal, he found Alma's accusations hard to swallow.

"H" is handed

When it came time to carve the turkey, L.D handed over the reins to Jack after Jack got the upper hand.

"I" is ill-humored
« Reply #8869 on: November 24, 2006, 03:01:46 pm »
Alma appears to be particularly ill-humored while Ennis is telling the story of his saddle-bronc career.
