Old Man Twist and his wife were compelled by poverty to live very simply.

In the 2003 screenplay Monroe visits Alma - (this scene is before Bobby is born and certainly before the reunion scene in 1967):

Monroe:  (looks adoringly at Alma) "I got a few bags going over to Mrs. Fry's.  She busted her hip.  You're right on the way." (smiles)
Alma likes Monroe's good nature. Sets Francine down and gets her purse from the counter.  Francine immediately toddles out of the room.
Alma:  "Sure do appreciate it. what do I owe you?"
Monroe pulls the receipt out of his pocket and looks at it.
Monroe:  "Eight dollars and seventeen cents."

"V" is vigilantes

Ennis's father may have been one of the self-appointed vigilantes who had a hand in the murder of rancher Earl.

"W" is withdrawn
« Reply #9085 on: December 01, 2006, 02:00:53 pm »
What starts as a sexual release quickly turns into something far more meaningful, although Ennis Del Mar (Heath Ledger), the quieter and more withdrawn of the two, doesn't quite recognize the transformation he's been through until after he and Jack Twist (Jake Gyllenhaal) go their separate ways at summer's end. Hunched over himself in an alley, Ennis falls prey to a violent fit of nausea, as if his stomach were being ripped out. It's his body telling him that he's just been separated from his soulmate.     Love Story by R Shulman

"X" is xpletively
« Reply #9086 on: December 01, 2006, 02:41:44 pm »
Ennis added an xpletively descriptive word between Jack's first and last names for emphasis:

"I'm gonna tell you this one time, Jack fuckin'  Twist, and I ain't foolin'.  What I don't know, all them things that I don't know ... could get you killed if I come to know them.  I ain't jokin'."  [DVD]

Jack would occasionally yock it up with Ennis.

"Z" is zeros'

Lureen's eyes got smaller and smaller as she checked all her zeros' entry and placement on her adding machine.  (Well according to Jack, her eyes were getting smaller and smaller.)
