Insofar as can be ascertained, Jack swiped Ennis's shirt on their last day together that summer.

"L" is longings

Jack and Ennis's unfilled longings eventually tear them apart.

"M" is much-anticipated

"Brokeback Mountain, Ang Lee's much-anticipated modern Western, is an extremely subtle and touching love story about two cowboys, splendidly played by Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal."

Jack and the prostitute strolled down the netherworldly alley.

"O" is outsmarting

Ennis thought he was outsmarting Alma when he told her he'd "caught a bunch a browns and ate them up", but the line backfired.

Jack met the male prostitute's gaze and nodded in agreement.

In their respective marriages, Ennis and his friend Jack produced three charming little rugrats: Alma, Jr., Jenny and Bobby.

After the post-divorce mixup, Jack took refuge in the slimy alleys of Juarez.

'Twas the night of TS2 and all through the tent, Jack was preparing the bedroll, for an evening well spent.

"U" is unswerving

"Apart from anything else, Ledger and Gyllenhaal are expected to age, in the course of the film, the better part of 20 years and they manage this -- in a way the film manages to make look effortless -- by the way they are weighed down by the constancy of their sorrows and their unswerving sense of something so central to them that it would be sentimental to call it happiness."
