"R" is recliner

ALMA JR. looks around the nearly empty trailer, an homage to plains-life minimalism:  a TV sits on a plastic milk crate in front of a battered recliner, the only other furniture besides the chipped Formica table, two wobbly chairs, and a fridge and tiny stove.  [screenplay]

"U" is unfavorable

Attempting to convince Ennis to let her move in with him, Alma Jr. made unfavorable comments about her home situation:

"Daddy, I was thinking, what with the new baby and all... Ma and Monroe, they've been awful strict on me.  More on me than on Jenny even.  (pause) I was thinking, maybe I could... maybe I could come stay with you, Daddy... I'd be a big help to you, I know I would."  [screenplay]

"V" is vicissitudinous

Alma Jr. reacted to Ennis's vicissitudinous attitude towards her wedding:  hurt when he was making excuses, and elated when he was accepting.

"X" is x-steady

Alma Jr. watched while Ennis took a bottle of cheap white wine -- a legacy of his x-steady Cassie -- from his fridge and filled two glasses:  one for her and one for him.

"A" is asymmetry

OMT was filmed with an eerie asymmetry:  one eye in the light and one in the shade.

"B" is bitterly

OMT spoke bitterly when he said: “Tell you what, I know where Brokeback Mountain is. He thought he was too goddam special to be buried in the family plot.”
