"J" is Junket

Between Alma and Ennis is the Junket display.  When this scene was shot, Ennis was supposed to be hurrying off on a quick junket with Jack.


Def:  1 : a dessert of sweetened flavored milk set with rennet
2 a : a festive social affair b : TRIP, JOURNEY: as (1) : a trip made by an official at public expense (2) : a promotional trip made at another's expense <a film's press junket>

Alma was left in the lurch when Ennis dropped off the girls while she still had three hours left of work.

  • There's no reins on this one....
"M" is mustered

While only steps away from the mustard, Alma mustered up the courage to challenge Ennis briefly with "What about my job?"

=compliment= Meryl
You certainly passed muster with that post.

"N" is nonperishable
« Reply #10383 on: January 22, 2007, 12:52:53 am »
While standing in front of shelves of nonperishable food, Ennis tells Alma that he's dropping the girls off with her because his boss called and he's needed at the ranch.

"O" is occasions

Ennis seemed to accept that this was one of the occasions where his allegiance to the cattle was more important than to his family.

"P" is peanut

Monroe offered to pick up the pieces from the broken peanut jars.

Ennis may have had to settle for peanut butter sandwiches instead of round steak.

"R" is ruin
« Reply #10386 on: January 22, 2007, 09:36:24 am »
Ennis didn't want to ruin the chances of keeping his job; he doesn't seem to care what happens to Alma's job.

PB&J with glass shards?  Mmm.

"S" is shards
« Reply #10387 on: January 22, 2007, 09:42:11 am »
Monroe said, "Really, Alma, it's okay. I'll get it," meaning that he would see to it that the peanuts and the shards of glass were cleaned up.

=aside= Paul & Sandy
I think that would be a bit too crunchy.
Thanks for the word.

The turnover of nuts was particularly high that day.

Junior's actions served to undermine the integrity of the stack of peanut jars.
