Ennis soon realized that his feelings for Jack were intenser than anything he had ever experienced.

"L" is lawsuit

Some film veterans saw Randy Quaid's $10 million lawsuit against the makers of Brokeback Mountain as a case of sour grapes over a deal that could have been better negotiated for Mr. Quaid.

Aguirre was meaner to Jack when he came around the following summer looking for work.

"N" is narrower

... Quaid and his lover were pretty well off, with the wealth of options that come with not having to worry about basic survival. Jack and Ennis don't have those options: their upbringing and worldviews limit the places they would possibly consider living, and their lack of financial means keeps their options even narrower.

Ennis and Alma's bedroom grew darker after Alma moved the lamp's on-off switch to the off position.

Cassie was pushier when she first met Ennis, dragging him to the dance floor and away from the men's room.

Jack had a tendency to make riskier choices while Ennis liked to play it safe.

"S" is sent

The next week Joe Aguirre sent word to bring them down -- another, bigger storm was moving in from the Pacific -- and they packed in the game and moved off the mountain with the sheep, stones rolling at their heels, purple cloud crowding in from the west and the metal smell of coming snow pressing them on.

"T" is tempest

Although Jack knew a tempest was brewing, he was more determined than ever to speak his mind about the short leash Ennis kept him on.
