"P" is peruse

Jack proceeded to peel potatoes impassively rather than peruse his pulchritudinous partner performing perfunctory purifications.

"Q" is quick-sightedness

Jack used his quick-sightedness to peel potatoes and to avoid keeping his eyes peeled on the cowboy who had peeled off his clothes.

Jack did not allow himself be distracted from his spuds, in spite of the soapy sounds off to his left.

"T" is taters
« Reply #9964 on: January 09, 2007, 11:35:55 am »
Jack concentrated on peeling the taters while dropping the thought of peeking at Ennis like a hot potato.

"V" is veracious

Jack's eyes could not be veracious, or the fat would be in the fire.

def - Honest; truthful.

Jack refrains from looking as Ennis washes up.  Otherwise, Jack would be all washed up.

"X" is xcerption
« Reply #9968 on: January 09, 2007, 04:51:54 pm »
Here is an xcerption from the published screenplay detailing the potato-peeling scene:

Jack peels potatoes for dinner.  Ennis has only his jeans and boots on, no shirt, before a large basin of hot water, shaves.

Ennis:  "Shot a coyote, big son of a bitch, balls on him size a apples.  Looked like he could eat a camel.  (sloshes his face)  You want some of this hot water?"

Jack (grins, shakes his head):  "It's all yours."

Ennis pulls off his boots, then his socks.  Pulls off his jeans -- no underwear.  Slops the washcloth under his arms, between his legs.  Jack fixes dinner, a cigarette dangling from his mouth.  Impassive.

def. = a passage selected from a larger work

Jack refrained from glancing over at the handsome, young-bodied cowboy who was washing up.
