Outside of the occasional punch, Jack and Ennis treated each other with civility.

I second that!  No punching.

"D" is disgusted

Aguirre looked up, disgusted and annoyed when Jack Twist entered his trailer in 1964.
Aguirre's last words to Jack were:  "Get the hell out of my trailer."   [2003 screenplay]

"E" is elegiacal

Jack's expression as he watched Ennis drive away after their final meeting was elegiacal--the lament over the scarcity of time they'd spent together and lack of reciprocation on Ennis' part showed painfully in his eyes.

Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.

"F" is figment

A question most viewers of Brokeback Mountain ask about the flashback to Jack's death is whether it really happened or whether it was a figment of Ennis's imagination.

Thanks to the graciousness of Mrs. Twist, Ennis had a meaningful, productive trip to Lightning Flat.

Jack took the bull by the horns when he stood up to L.D. at Thanksgiving dinner.

"I" is infantile

Jack was not about to put up with L.D.'s infantile posturing in front of his son and wife at Thanksgiving.

Ennis thinks that he jeopardizes his very existence by being true to himself and Jack.

"K" is knife-stabbing

Ennis became engraged at Alma's knife-stabbing words about his "fishing trips."

To Ennis, Alma's outing of him was libelous.
