"N" is neglects

Alma neglects to mention the kissing in 1967.  I guess even ex-wives have a statute of limitations.

"Q" is quaveriness

The quaveriness in Alma's voice increased when she said, "Don't try and fool me no more, Ennis."

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]

"U" is untroubled

Ennis was untroubled about joining Alma in the kitchen for a chat until she brought up his fishing trips with Jack Twist.

"V" is vindication
« Reply #8579 on: November 14, 2006, 11:13:36 pm »
Jack's "indiscretions" in Mexico no doubt troubled him; however, he got some sense of vindication from the fact that he and Ennis spent so little time together.

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