At the Motel Siesta, story Jack begs Ennis to go up to the mountains with him for a couple of days:

"Son of a bitch, Ennis, take a couple days off.  Right now.  Get us out a here.  Throw your stuff in the back a my truck and let's get up in the mountains.  Couple a days.  Call Alma up and tell her you're goin.  Come on, Ennis, you just shot my airplane out a the sky -- give me somethin a go on.  This ain't no little thing that's happenin here."

"C" is countable

Jack sometimes expresses things in countable terms:  "I got fourteen hours of driving ahead of me", or "Count the damn few times we been together in twenty years."

Jack and Ennis live their day-to-day lives in separate states, longing to be with one another.

"E" is entertainingly

Jack and Ennis decide that the sheep be damned, they can spend their time more entertainingly in the tent.

"F" is flung

The day he hired Ennis, Joe Aguirre flung a wristwatch in his direction, which the quick-reflexed young man caught just in time.

For five days story Ennis and a Chilean herder with no English worked gruelingly to untangle the sheep.

"H" is heaved

Ennis heaved in the alley after parting from Jack.

He felt about as bad as he ever had and it took a long time for the feeling to wear off.
