"E" is estimate

If one were to estimate the number of times the "F" word is invoked in both the short story and the film, the total would be considerable.

"F" is F-word

While on the phone, Joe Aguirre uses the F-word as an adjective:  "Yeah?  No.  No.  Not on your fuckin' life."

Ennis's phrase "Jack Fuckin' Twist" was first said gleefully, but later, grumpily.

"H" is Hades
« Reply #16153 on: January 06, 2008, 03:10:48 pm »
The realm of Hades was invoked many a time by the characters in Brokeback Mountain.  A few examples:

"Where the hell you been?"
"What in hell happened Ennis?"
"I guess it's when the world ends and fellas like you and me march off to hell."
"I'm sure as hell sorry."
"Hell, we don't eat with our eyes."

"I" is intimidating

Jack was successful in intimidating L.D. when he said: "Now you sit down, you old son of a bitch!  This is my house!  This is my child!  And you're my guest!  So sit the hell down, or I'll knock your ignorant ass into next week...."

"L" is locates

Jack and Ennis spice up their conversation as usual after Jack finally locates his old 'friend':

... and Jack said, "Christ, it got a be all that time a yours ahorseback makes it so goddamn good. We got to talk about this. Swear to god I didn't know we was goin a get into this again -- yeah, I did. Why I'm here. I fuckin knew it. Redlined all the way, couldn't get here fast enough."
"I didn't know where in the hell you was," said Ennis. "Four years. I about give up on you. I figured you was sore about that punch."

OMT maligns Jack when he says Jack is "too goddamn special to be buried in the family plot".

"N" is nostalgically

At the reunion, Ennis, grinning nostalgically, stops on the landing and says "Jack Fuckin' Twist!" before running down the stairs to hug his old buddy.

Playing outside on the swings, Alma Jr. and Jenny overhear their dad tell their mom, "Well, tell him you made a fuckin' mistake."

Before planting one on Jack, Ennis provides him with his middle name, "Fuckin'".
