"A" is arena

"Jack and Lureen's home.  Wall-to-wall carpeting, fairly luxurious, particularly in comparison to Ennis's life.  Many photos of Lureen winning barrel-racing trophies.  One of Jack, the one taken in the arena the day they met."  [screenplay]

After Ennis went to the Higgins Gift Shop and inquired about the BBM postcard, Linda Higgins indicated that she didn't order any of them; however, she now will!

"E" is eerie

"It is an eerie sensation to see events you have imagined in the privacy of your mind, and tried hopelessly to transmit to others through little black marks on a page, loom up before you in an overwhelming visual experience."
(Annie Proulx on seeing the film for the first time, in “getting movied”.)

"G" is grind

Ennis:  "See you in the morning'...."
A shuddering snort from Ennis's horse, the grind of hoof on stone, and Ennis rides away, a very young Jack watching him go.  [screenplay]

Scene:  Higgins Gift Shop

Ennis entered Linda Higgins's gift shop and enthralled himself with the postcard rack looking for a pic of BBM.

"I" is ingrate

Jimbo the clown’s refusal of Jack’s offer of a drink portrayed him as an ingrate.
Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.
