When Alma raises the subject of his "nasty" fishin' buddy, Ennis raises his hand to her and everything between them is now over.

Jack was always taking a back seat to L.D. until he said: "Now sit the hell down before I knock your ignorant ass into next week."

"U" is unwillingly
« Reply #8884 on: November 25, 2006, 09:43:11 am »
Ennis unwillingly listened to Alma as she talked about the price tag, the note, the lack of browns, and even his perkiness, but he refused to let her continue talking about his fishing buddy - by any name.

=comment=
Annie Proulx did not use the word perky. 
It was added by Larry and Diana.  Excellent word.

Cassie waited on Ennis hand and foot before showing some fancy footwork in getting him to give her a foot rub.

At Thanksgiving Ennis was deeply angered by his x-wife's words regarding his relationship with Jack.

"Y" is yenning
« Reply #8888 on: November 25, 2006, 11:27:51 am »
Alma wants to talk about all the years that Ennis was yenning more for Jack than for her.  That is too nasty for Ennis to even discuss.

def. - having a strong desire or inclination; yearning.

"Z" is Zachariah
« Reply #8889 on: November 25, 2006, 11:32:37 am »
"The naturalness with which this film treats Zachariah and Matthew's relationship is still remarkable. In some ways, it seems like it's decades beyond – if only in that one regard – even a masterpiece like Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain, which revolves around the two cowboys' failure to even try to make a good life for themselves. One wonders what Ennis and Jack would have thought if they'd gone to see Zachariah, while on one of their fishing trips.'"
