"I" is incidentally

Regarding his "sleep with the sheep" instruction, Joe Aguirre was mainly interested in keeping predator loss to a minimum and only incidentally in the herder's comfort.

"L" is long-gone

Jack's shirt seems heavy, and Ennis sees that there is another shirt hidden inside it:  his own long-gone shirt from those Brokeback days.

Jack drove fourteen hours for nothing after mistaking Ennis's postcard as an invitation to begin a life together.

After her formulaic delivery of the 120 cans, Fayette's part became nonspeaking.

"O" is oft-repeated

Despite being one of the most highly anticipated movies of the year, "Brokeback Mountain" has had a hard time disassociating itself from an oft-repeated "South Park" quote:  "Independent films are those black-and-white hippie movies -- they're always about gay cowboys eating pudding."

Jack found slim pickings for working in the rodeo for a living.

"R" is red-lipped

The day Lureen first flashed him her pretty red-lipped smile, Jack didn't realize he was taking the first step down the road to the rest of his life.

Following TS2, the boys gradually began shirking their sheeply duties.

"T" is temperament
« Reply #18838 on: January 22, 2009, 03:05:06 pm »
"Though Jack and Ennis are both dirt-poor cowboys, they couldn’t be more dissimilar in temperament -- Jack an outgoing rodeo showman with little to show but his bumps and scrapes, and Ennis a taciturn cowpoke trying to earn money to get married in the fall."

"U" is unblinkingly
« Reply #18839 on: January 22, 2009, 04:56:26 pm »
"Ennis jerked his hand away as though he'd touched fire, got to his knees", and for a long intense moment, he and Jack stared unblinkingly at each other.
