The "ABCs of BBM": Round 965! (Rules in first post)

[MaineWriter]

At the lake, when Jack lashed out at Ennis in anger and bitterness, Ennis had no difficulty giving it right back to him.

Alma's biting comments were enraging to Ennis.

After Alma's biting comments about "Jack Nasty",  Ennis furiously stormed out the door.

Welcome to Bettermost and welcome to the game.
Hope to see you again.

When Alma said she would call for Monroe, her voice became shrill; Ennis's voice in response was grating.

[Fran]

Ennis doesn't take kindly to the news that Jack has been cavorting with hustlers down in Mexico:  "I'm gonna tell you this one time, Jack fuckin' Twist.  And I ain't foolin'.  What I don't know, all them things that I don't know, could get you killed if I come to know them.  I ain't jokin'."

=aside= winterhug
I second Sandy's welcome.
Thanks for joining us!

At the Lake Scene, Ennis's anger turns to incapacitating sadness.

[MaineWriter]

Alma used her knowledge of Jack and Ennis's relationship as leverage in her argument, hoping to gain the upper hand.

[memento]

When Jack mentions the word Mexico, it takes some time for Ennis to show the full extent of his anger.

[Fran]

Jack made a point of mentioning his and Ennis's nonidentical sexual needs: 

"Count the damn few times we been together in twenty years.  Measure the fuckin short leash you keep me on, then ask me about Mexico and then tell me you'll kill me for needin it and not hardly never gettin it.  You go no fuckin idea how bad it gets.  I'm not you.  I can't make it on a couple a high-altitude fucks once or twice a year."

[MaineWriter]

Overcoming her prior silence on the topic, Alma vented her anger when she told Ennis of the note she had tied to the end of his fishing line.
