"C" is complete

Heath Ledger, on choosing the role of Ennis del Mar:

"It's obviously the most complex and internal character that I have been offered to play. It would take a more matured performance out of me to complete this character. It was the perfect script; it was the perfect director. It was a story that hadn't been told, which is extremely rare in this industry or anywhere really. I think the story of love, in general, is a little recycled and it's a little stale. And this hadn't been put to script. I think it was really rare. I thought I'd be crazy to turn it down."

"E" is evenhandedness

Aguirre treated his ranchhands with his own brand of evenhandedness:  he was mean to everybody.

"F" is fifteen-year-old

Unlike Lureen, Jack could see that there was something wrong with their fifteen-year-old son, who "couldn't get anything right."

There was no geothermal heat to warm Ennis as he slept outside Jack's tent, causing him to venture inside.

Ennis acted like Jack's offer of a loan was a handout.
