Their final argument heats up even more when Jack admits that he's been to Mexico.

"I" is impossibility

Getting away in August is an impossibility for Ennis due to work commitments.

"J" is jointed

Jack knows now that
they will never be as jointed as they were
on that day in 1963
when Ennis
"had come up behind him
 and
pulled him close,
the silent embrace
satisfying some
shared and sexless hunger."

[Proulx]

"L" is long-lasting

During that last argument, things were said which had never been revealed before during their long-lasting affair.

Ennis and Jack are of different mindsets when it comes to Jack's trips to Mexico.

"N" is negativeness

Jack has had enough of Ennis's negativeness.  First they couldn't live together, and now they can't even work out an appointment for a nice warm fishing trip.

When questioned by Ennis, Jack outrightly admitted that he had been to Mexico.

"P" is pops

EXT:  WYOMING MOUNTAINS:  TRAILHEAD:  MORNING:  1981:

JACK and ENNIS have loaded the horses into a trailer hitched to ENNIS'S pickup truck.

Mood between them is tense, as always, when their time together is about to end.

When the gate is shut on the horses, JACK pops his glove against his leg a time or two... looks at ENNIS, who is lighting a cigarette.

                              JACK
          Guess I'll head on up to Lightnin' Flat.
          See the folks for a day or two.   [screenplay]

"R" is repeats

Ennis asks Jack "You got a better idea?"

Jack reples, "I did, once."

Under his breath, Ennis sarcastically repeats Jack's reply, "You did onceā€¦ "

Ennis was visibly shaken when he found out that Jack had been to Mexico.
