Ennis feared the harassment he thought he would receive if people found out about his relationship with Jack.

"M" is mentionable

Alma made what had been unmentionable mentionable when she brought up the subject of "Jack Nasty."

"N" is nonworking

Ennis's disinclination to step out and have any fun with Alma during nonworking hours contributed to the derailment of their marriage.

"O" is occluded

When the window that represented Ennis's time with Jack was occluded by his death, Ennis had to face the disappointments of his life more fully than ever before.

"P" is punishment

Ennis's father felt that what happened to Earl was appropriate punishment for living with another man.

"R" is religiously

Heath Ledger on working with director Ang Lee:

"He created a lonely environment for us, so it bled into our performances. He'd never patronise us with praise, never even say 'Good shot.' He'd just sigh and walk off for the day.

"Early one morning, I was doing a scene, it was extremely cold, my voice was croaky. I hadn't done my voice warm-ups which I usually do religiously. I felt like my lips were frozen and I wasn't speaking properly, which is fine for Ennis because his mouth doesn't move, but I was feeling paranoid afterwards. I ran up to Ang and asked: 'Did it sound okay?' I was desperate for some nod of approval. Ang shuffled his feet, just said, 'Light was good,' and walked away.

"I'd go back to my trailer every night torturing myself, feeling like a failure. But I'd wake up the next morning wanting to defeat him and do better. Then you understand it's directorial manipulation to achieve what the film needs -- and you go with it."

I'll be away this weekend, but I'd like to suggest
that we do another "ment" round.

Ennis was disappointed that he didn't receive the shipment of powdered milk and potatoes.

"T" is tormenting

Throughout his relationship with Jack, Ennis suffered from the tormenting fear of discovery.
