"P" is please

After Alma Jr. left the table, Alma muttered "Please, thank you" into the thin air. Ennis was asleep in a beer-induced stupor but woke as soon as he heard Jack's car approaching.

Ennis spent his life questioning who he was, and if he deserved to be happy.

"The closet was a shallow cavity with a wooden rod braced across, a faded cretonne curtain on a string closing it off from the rest of the room."   [short story]

"S" is Sense

Ang Lee’s films include many dualities. In Brokeback Mountain, Jack is similar to Sense (Marianne) and Ennis is similar to Sensibility (Elinor) in Sense and Sensibility.

"T" is tension

Even Alma could see the tension between Jack and Ennis in 1967.
The floorboard vibrated between them.

"U" is unscheduled

Jack made an unscheduled trip to Mexico after Ennis told him sorry, he'd have to see him next month because it was his weekend with the girls -- Jack's 1,200-mile drive north be damned!

"V" is vengeful
« Reply #2966 on: June 06, 2006, 03:01:07 pm »
Ennis was vengeful when he felt that the world was against him, such as at Thanksgiving when he picked a fight at the Black and Blue Eagle.

Nice playing leapfrog with U, Fran and Toast!

Our shepherd friends were driven off the mountain by wintery weather.

Oh, my.  Since Jack died nearly twenty-three years ago, Lureen has been my x-daughter-in-law.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Mary Twist

"Y" is yellowed

Lureen's teeth had yellowed over the years, no doubt due to smoking and not flossing.
