"N" is needful

Alma gives Ennis a number of reasons why they should move into town, one of which is that Jenny's asthma is needful of nearby medical attention.

"O" is one-word

When Ennis asked Junior and Jenny if they needed a push, their one-word response was a listless "no."

Having just witnessed some of their parents' argument, Alma Jr. and Jenny refuse Ennis's offer of a push and pump their swings themselves.

Alma Jr. and Jenny were swinging on their swings while Ennis, after arguing with Alma, looked as if he might take a swing at someone.

On the swing set used by Alma Jr. and Jenny, two-thirds of the swings are suspended by chains.

"U" is utero

While Ennis and Alma were at the drive-in watching "Surf Party," Alma, Jr., still in utero, was making some waves of her own.

"V" is violation

After the violation of Earl,
Mr. Del Mar made certain that his sons saw the crime scene,
and understood why it happened.

"W" is warily
« Reply #10368 on: January 21, 2007, 03:37:44 pm »
Once Alma Jr. had her dad to herself, she warily broached the subject of maybe coming to stay with him:

"Daddy, I was thinking, what with the new baby and all ... Ma and Monroe, they've been awful strict on me.  More on me than on  Jenny even.  (pause)  I was thinking, maybe I could ... maybe I could come stay with you, Daddy ... I'd be a big help to  you, I know I would."  [screenplay]

"X" is x-boyfriend's
« Reply #10369 on: January 21, 2007, 05:34:38 pm »
Alma Jr. thought it was odd that her dad was asking questions about her x-boyfriend's interests, since she had stopped seeing him two years earlier.
