As posted by Yellville in a LiveJournal blog:

"I cry during movies.  If I know from the get-go that I am getting set up for heartbreak during the feature film, I weep during particularly moving previews.  Take Brokeback Mountain.  What an absolutely tragic and moving picture -- it wrung my heart out.  My chin was wobbling the entire time, and I bawled like a little unloved baby during more than one scene."

Jack was acting in a zanyish manner when he performed his mock-rodeo mating dance.

"A" is appreciated

Jack's mother ... said, "He used a come home every year, even after he was married and down in Texas, and help his daddy on the ranch for a week fix the gates and mow and all. I kept his room like it was when he was a boy and I think he appreciated that. You are welcome to go up in his room if you want."    [Proulx]

"Three puppies belonging to one of the blue heelers went in a pack basket, the runt inside Jack's coat, for he loved a little dog."  [story]

Jack and Ennis sat around many campfires over the course of nearly twenty years.

Lureen:   "Jack was pumping up a flat on the truck out on a back road when the tire blew up. ...  By the time someone came along he had drowned in his own blood."   [Proulx]

"E" is easy-come

Out of frustration at not being able to be with Ennis, Jack had some easy-come, easy-go encounters with prostitutes in Mexico.

"You know someone name o' Jack?" said Alma.  "We was fishin' buddies," Ennis replied fishily.

"G" is gaffe

Alma Jr. was afraid she had made a gaffe when she spoke so bluntly to Cassie about her qualifications as a wife for Ennis.
