"How much is once in a while", said Jack. "Once in a while every fuckin' quadrennium?"

No, but I would love to see Ennis' face if he did say it.

Great one!  If Jack used that word to describe "four", Ennis wunt have known what he ment!  After all, he dint know "condiments".

"T" is taller

In the screenplay and novella, Ennis is taller than Jack.
Ledger is actually listed as one inch taller than Gyllenhaal.

"W" is windows

Windows are a very great symbolism in climatic scenes in BBM such as Ennis lookin' out Jack's childhood bedroom window and lookin' down the lonely road as well as the closing scene of Ennis lookin' out his trailer home window.
