A fat-bodied, narrow-necked vase is on display in the lower of the two wall recesses in Jack and Lureen's dining room.

Ennis allowed the passion he was feeling toward Jack to overtake him on the reunion staircase.

While Jack eschewed beans when possible, Ennis would plow into them with gusto.

Junior had a certain glow about her when she visited Ennis to tell him about her engagement to Kurt, a roustabout for the oil company.

"S" is slowly

The sooty bulk of the mountain paled slowly until it was the same color as the smoke from Ennis's breakfast fire.

"T" is thigh

They seized each other by the shoulders, hugged mightily, squeezing the breath out of each other, saying son of a bitch, son of a bitch; then, and as easily as the right key turns the lock tumblers, their mouths came together, and hard, Jack’s big teeth bringing blood, his hat falling to the floor, stubble rasping, wet saliva welling, and the door opening and Alma looking out for a few seconds at Ennis’s straining shoulders and shutting the door again and still they clinched, pressing chest and groin and thigh and leg together, treading on each other’s toes until they pulled apart to breathe and Ennis, not big on endearments, said what he said to his horses and daughters, “Little darlin.”

"U" is uppers

After parting from Ennis, Jack was on his uppers for the years he worked the rodeo circuit; however, once he met Lureen, he entered a higher tax bracket.

Def:  On one's uppers = reduced to poverty

Up on Brokeback, Jack was Ennis's workfellow.

"A" is assuming
« Reply #17319 on: May 04, 2008, 11:12:58 am »
Correctly assuming that Ennis wasn't in possession of a watch, Joe Aguirre "took a cheap round ticker on a braided cord from a box on a high shelf, wound and set it, tossed it to him as if he weren't worth the reach."
