As Jack enters the alley, we can see a licoreria, or liquor store, sign in the background.

Cantina:  Mexican border town:  night
Jack sits at the bar, lonely, in a foreign land. Sips tequila out of a shot glass. The Mexican bartender walks over to Jack.
Mexican bartender:  "¿Uno más?" 
Jack shakes his head, throws a few pesos to the bartender.  Stands and walks to the door.
Mexican bartender:  "Buenas noches, Señor."
Jack waves without looking back.  [2003 screenplay]

"O" is outweighed

In Juarez, Jack's need for sex outweighed any reason he had for staying faithful to Ennis.

"P" is plucking

Juarez 1975, according to the 2003 and 2004 screenplays:

A Mexican guitarist sits on the steps of a small shop, soulfully plucking the guitar.
Jack stops next to the Mexican guitarist, drops some pesos into the man's cup. The guitarist smiles at Jack. A swarm of little beggar children hit up Jack for change. He gives them each a few coins and moves on.

The tall young man in the alley who catches Jack's eye throws him a question-laden glance and murmurs: "Señor?"

Great Q.

Thank you, Sandy!  :-*

After Jack's spirits were dampened when Ennis gave him the brush-off, he lowered the bar and had a few libations in the Mexican cantina to raise his spirits.

Radio plays Merle Haggard's "My Friends Are Gonna Be Strangers".
Begins to cry, hard...but something has turned inside him...he looks desolate but determined: knows where he is headed.     [2003 and 2004 screenplays]
