Alma's memory of her life with Ennis jaundices her feelings for him at Thanksgiving.

Alma cared enough about Ennis to kvetch about his carefree caffeine-free compadre, Jack.

Alma was launching her level-best libelous low-blows relating to Ennis's longtime love life.

Ennis' good manners got him into the Monroe kitchen, but his manners were poor by the time he made an exit.

Alma's sudden question about Jack Twist would have sounded like a non sequitur to anyone who didn't know where it was leading.


= and I guess this post is a non sequitur for the lack of 'lliteration... oh well. =

Ennis opted out of carrying out his threat to lay out Alma on the floor after he was outed.  She yelled out, "Get out!"  He got out.  Feeling down-and-out, he got it out of his system by having an out-and-out all-out fight.  There is much fallout when you have to come out.  All he wanted to do was to make out, or at least wring it out, thinking about his far-out out-of-sight cowboy.

Whew, I'm out of breath.
Please don't throw me out.
We'll sort it out.
I gotta get out of the house more.
I'm talked out.
Gonna sign out.

=aside= Paul
I think you outdid yourself.

Alma persisted in her out-and-out outing of Ennis until he was so out that he got out as directed.

=aside= Paul
Did you mention if Ennis were in or out?

"I read Annie Proulx’s affecting short story, written in a rough cowboy English, two days before I saw the film.  On Brokeback Mountain, two country boys meet and fall in love.  In Proulx’s description the mountain is cold, windy and isolated.  But Ang Lee, director of films such as Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, turns a wild, unforgiving landscape into somewhere where bluebirds sing over a whisky spring."

After the run-in between Ennis and Alma in the kitchen, Ennis ran out of the door.

In the post-Black-and-Blue-Eagle-Bar scene:

Ennis's pickup truck: Night: 1976:   
Ennis, thoroughly battered and bloodied, is driving home across the lonely, empty, snowy plain.
Rolls the window down, spits a mouthful of blood into the night.    [2003 screenplay]
