Jack loosed a lithe lasso around Ennis's loins (so to speak).

Lureen's nudge at the Childress Dance Hall caused Jack to brush annoyedly at his jacket.

"The bulk of the movie covers the next 20 years as Ennis and Jack do what's expected of them: get married, raise kids, and work when and where they can.  Throughout it all, they continue their affair by means of quarterly 'fishing trips'...."

"S" is suppressed

Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist are two ranch-hands herding sheep on a lonely mountain in 1963 Wyoming. What begins as a simple friendship explodes into a physical and emotional affair that they agree must be suppressed once the summer ends.

"Ennis sits next to Jenny.  Monroe sits at the head of the table.  Alma across from Monroe.  Alma Jr. sits across from her daddy.  The girls are about 13 and 11, respectively.  Ennis [is] dressed in a clean Levi's jacket and a bolo tie, his shirt collar threadbare."  [screenplay]
