"C" is coquettishly

"Think we should put the brakes on?" Lureen asked coquettishly .

=aside=
I wonder if that was her way of not only determining Jack's interest level but also if he was by chance gay or pentacostal, or sumpthun.

When Ennis came down from Brokeback, he was in a down-and-out state of mind and body.

"The mountain boiled with demonic energy, glazed with flickering broken-cloud light; the wind combed the grass and drew from the damaged krummholz and slit rock a bestial drone."  (Story)

"G" is gristle

In Ennis's case, the old saying about "The closer to the bone, the more's the gristle" was right--he didn't make much money, and his expenses, particularly child support, were high.

Lureen's hairdos became more and more artificial as the film progressed.

"I" is Icelandic

"Continuing its strong connections with film and entertainment, Icelandic Glacial was once again mixing with the stars at the premiere after party for Brokeback Mountain, the Oscar favorite, that features Heath Ledger in the lead role.  Stars of the cast, including Jake Gyllenhaal, were present at the after show party hosted by production company Focus Features at the Napa Valley Bar and Grille in Westwood, California.

"...Icelandic Glacial [was] proud to be the water of choice for the event as VIP guests, including actors, producers, and directors, enjoyed the award-winning spring water, alongside perhaps something stronger, as the guests partied the night away."  [link]

Ennis and Alma had a loud argument outside while their young girls were swinging.  When their upset daddy asked them if they needed a push or sumthin Alma Jr and Jenny's answer was a quick no! :laugh:

Jack initially kowtows to L.D. at Thanksgiving, but then lets him have it.
