"H" is hunky

"Despite all the PR money spent on King Kong, maybe the most talked-about movie right now is Brokeback Mountain because in it two hunky young movie stars, Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, play Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist, two cowboys who fall in love and stay in love with each other, even though both marry and have families."

-- Alex Chadwick, host of NPR's Day to Day, on December 23, 2005

"I" is imbalance

Sad and frustrated in her loneliness, Alma sensed an imbalance in how Ennis felt about her and his cowboy best friend, Jack Twist.

After Jack offered a sweet life, Ennis recounted his own life-changing event.

"M" is mash

In the summer of '63, two coworkers on Brokeback Mountain sat around the campfire, drinking a type of alcoholic beverage distilled from fermented grain mash:  whiskey.

"N" is nabbing

Unable to persuade Ennis to start up that little cow and calf operation, Jack had to settle for nabbing a few weeks with him here and there.

"O" is oh-so-sweet

Ennis's response to Jack's offer of an oh-so-sweet life was, "Oh, no".

"P" is puzzles

The fact that a woman'll powder her nose after a party when she's just going home to bed puzzles Jack; he can't understand it for the life of him.

"R" is resulted

The four-year reunion of the former coworkers resulted in Jack's proposal of the sweet life.

Thanks for the well wishes. The trip was fantastic. I climbed inside the pyramids, rode a camel, waded in the Dead Sea and climbed over 800 steps in Petra. All that with Sciatica - I'm not sure how I did it, but I'm feeing it now. It's good to be back.

For Jack, life was a lot sweeter when Ennis was around.

"T" is transpires

In a scene that transpires in front of a kitchen sink, Alma grills Ennis, her ex-husband, about a part of his life that he wants to keep private.
