"I" is intoxicated

As Jack and Ennis shared their quart of whiskey by the fire, they became intoxicated in more ways than one.

Replying to Jack's postcard, Ennis jotted down a two-word message:  "You bet."

"K" is klunkers

After marrying Lureen, Jack's trucks were spiffy; Ennis's trucks were usually klunkers.

"L" is Lureen's

There is a pinkish lamp on Lureen's side of the bed, with pinkish bedcoverings, in a pinkish bedroom.  The princess telephone is pink too. (And the pink telephone is on Lureen's side of the bed - out of sight, here.)

"M" is meets

Lureen didn't realize that there was more to Jack than meets the eye. Jack also found out in the backseat of the car that there was more to Lureen than meets the eye.

The Newsomes arrive to celebrate Bobby's birth; the newborn's parents look very proud in the pink room.

"O" is outsider

After L.D. and Fayette have declared Bobby the spittin' image of his grandpa:

"Lureen gives Jack a what-can-we-do expression... Jack maintains a polite, glazed smile.  Feeling the outsider, he turns, goes to get the formula out of the car."  [screenplay]

Jack was feeling the pinch of rodeo life before he met Lureen.

"Q" is quick-reflexedness
« Reply #9988 on: January 10, 2007, 11:10:20 am »
The story says Ennis was possessed of quick-reflexedness.  Jack seems to lack this, as he dropped the keys LD threw at him to retrieve the newborn's formula.

"R" is reminder
« Reply #9989 on: January 10, 2007, 11:13:20 am »
Beside the pink Princess phone on the nesting night tables is a reminder of the day that Jack and Lureen met, won at the rodeo, and got the car home by midnight.

I would love to see that portrait in more detail.
