"O" is orphans

Ennis and dogies are both orphans:  Ennis's parents drove off the road; and dogies are motherless calves.

"P" is for putting

Ennis said he'd been putting the blocks to a woman who worked part-time at the Wolf Ears bar in Signal where he was working now for Car Scrope's cow and calf  outfit... [story]

"Q" is quenchlessly

Jack:  "Nice to know you, Ennis Del Mar. 
Since we're gonna be working together,
I reckon it's time we start drinking together."
                    [2003 screenplay and trailer]

And so our two boys proceed quenchlessly through the movie.

Jack reeled in more Ennis and less trouts on their fishing trips.

Jack came lagging in late one afternoon, drank his two bottles of beer cooled in a wet sack on the shady side of the tent...[story]

"T" is Thursday's

According to Bobby Twist (who finally sat up straight on Thanksgiving Day), and who hasn't finished his cereal yet, Thursday's food will last him for the next two weeks.

"U" is uglied

"In Proulx's story, Jack Twist is described as short, bucktoothed, a bit portly, and curly-haired.  In Lee's version, we get the tall, lean, glossy-haired Gyllenhaal swaggering around, even posing at points, and flashing his collinear pearly whites.  Yes, he is a sight to behold and yes, he's a fantastic actor, but couldn't they have uglied him up a bit for the integrity of Proulx's vision?  Can you imagine if they hired someone like Paul Giamatti for the role instead?"

Jack became vinegary after eating all those beans, but sweetened up after having some elk.

Ennis gets wrought up upon learning that Aguirre wanted them to take down the sheep sooner than expected.
