The "ABCs of BBM": Round 965! (Rules in first post)

Monroe was being very avant-garde with his cutting-edge electric carving knife.

Alma:  "Don't try to fool me no more, Ennis.  I know what it means.  Jack Twist?"
Ennis:  "Alma...."
Alma:  "Jack Nasty.  You didn't go up there to fish.  You and him...."
Ennis grabs her wrist and twists it.
Ennis:  "Now you listen to me, you don't know nothin' about it."
Tears spring to her eyes, she drops a dish.  [screenplay]

Alma went on endlessly with questions about a wife, a price tag, uneaten fish, a love note, a fishing buddy, and more stuff that was none of her business.

After eating dinner, Alma got fed up about being fed a line about Ennis' "fishing trips."

[Fran]

Three generations of the Newsome family celebrated Thanksgiving together in Childress.

Ennis was thoroughly hurt by the kitchen confrontation with Alma.

"I would say that the critical sound component of the movie for Ang was wind.  It was the most interesting, dramatic, and affecting sound that we worked with throughout the film.  The juxtapositions in this film -- from the intimacy of two people to the vastness of the natural landscape -- were emphasized by the wind.  We wanted to tell this story through the power of the wind -- through nature's forces."

-- Eugene Gearty, supervising sound editor of BBM, as quoted here

Monroe electrically knifed his way into the turkey breast.

The liquidity in the Thanksgiving scene was domestic, and when Alma turned the spigot handle, it seemed to call out to its wild cousin.
