"I" is industry-manufactured

An excerpt from the Heath Ledger bio at Current Biography:

Impressed by [Heath] Ledger's performance in Monster's Ball, [Ang] Lee offered him the part of [Ennis] del Mar. "When I met [Ledger], the moment I saw him, that was it," Lee told Rachel Abramowitz. "He's the person that's the best to carry that western brooding mood -- elegiac and fearful and violent, all the complexities, all the poetic qualities." But the actor was initially unsure about the project. "There was this kind of industry-manufactured fear and risk factor that was surrounding the script," Ledger told Steven Rea for Knight Ridder, as reprinted in the Bradenton (Florida) Herald (January 8, 2006). He had read [Annie] Proulx's story and the screenplay adaptation, by Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana, and found both deeply moving. "I truly had a lump in my throat, but . . . these manufactured fears started to bleed into my response to the script -- 'Oh, this is risky,' that sort of thing," he explained. "But then that just started to fade away and I thought . . . 'What exactly am I risking?' I didn't feel like I had a career to risk, and I'm a little ruthless about it anyway. If it went away based upon a creative choice I made, then it's not really an industry I want to be in."

Taciturn Ennis made a lighthearted moment when he cast aspersions on Jack's harmonica playing.

"N" is nappies
« Reply #19033 on: February 17, 2009, 06:54:37 pm »
A baby's crying and the smell of dirty nappies reassured Ennis, a ranch hand familiar with the sounds and smells of new life in the livestock pen.

"O" is offhandedness

Jack nodded approvingly at the offhandedness of Ennis's "I ain't yet had the opportunity" comment.

Jack was rightfully angry about L.D.'s trying to gain the upper hand at Thanksgiving dinner.

During Ennis's visit to Lightning Flat, he discovered that Jack was, in fact, responsible for the theft of his old shirt.
