That reunion kiss is the best example of unbridled passion I can think of.

For Jack to have had all those broken  bones, and earlier broken bones, diagnosed, he must have had a bunch of X-rays. Best I can do, No xs at the beginnings of words...

From the story:

"Alma," he said, "Jack and me ain't seen each other in four years."  As if that were a reason.

I just went and read fernly's original post when she started this game, and she gave the opportunity to change the topic to the person who puts A.

Would it be too crazy or just wonderful if I start yet a new thread, like the person who started this new thread did, when they changed the topic? 

UPDATE: I did start a new thread on the last scene of the film.  Let's have a group decision if we want to keep splintering topics, or keep them all in one thread.  What are the pros and cons of each way of doing it?

I was what, nine years old and they found Earl dead in a irrigation ditch.

Annie Proulx wrote a lot of dialogue in the Motel scene.
Ang spread out the conversations, and made excellent use of almost every word written.

....just wanted to make the correction that it was Diana Ossana and Larry McMurtry who did this and not Ang Lee.

which Alma would have said as she waved her erase-wand and made that thing she saw happen at the bottom of the stairs never have happened.

B..is for beating..(heart beating)

They pressed so close with their kiss, they could feel each other's heart beating
Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect.

It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfection
