"X" is xecutes

Story Ennis xecutes a quick nasty exit after Alma tried to talk turkey with him:

He gave another wrench that left her with a burning bracelet, shoved his hat on backwards and slammed out. He went to the Black and Blue Eagle bar that night, got drunk, had a short dirty fight and left.

"C" is chew

Mmmm.  It was Thanksgiving, so Ennis ended up at Alma's new home for a chew, "sitting between his girls and talking horses to them, telling jokes, trying not to be a sad daddy."
After pie, Alma got him in the kitchen to chew the fat.
He soon realized that she wanted to chew him up about what she had had to chew on for years and years.
Ennis knew this was no time to quietly chew the cud and let Alma chew over his life.
Since he had bitten off more than he could chew, he got the hell out of there before she could chew him "out" for all the world to see.

Great round announcement.

"E" is edentulous
« Reply #14196 on: July 24, 2007, 02:28:02 pm »
Ennis threatened to make the slop-mouth bikers edentulous.  They certainly bit off more than they expected to chew.

def - Someone is said to be edentulous when all of their teeth are missing from either their upper or lower jaw.

"H" is hungers
« Reply #14199 on: July 24, 2007, 04:08:13 pm »
Alma seems to be wondering if she has bitten off more than she can chew with Monroe and hungers for Ennis, in spite of his nasty past.   Maybe he will marry someone ... again.

=reply= Sandy
Monroe's folks seem to have stopped at Monroe.
He is referred to as Monroe.
His household is referred to as the Monroe household in the screenplays.
Annie Proulx had Alma refer to him as just Bill.
