"O" is overuse
« Reply #17170 on: April 16, 2008, 06:43:06 pm »
Jack told Ennis about his stress fracture, an overuse injury:

"...the arm bone here, you know how bullridin you're always leverin it off your thigh? -- and she gives a little ever time you do it.  Even if you tape it good you break it a little goddamn bit at a time."

Jack and Ennis's days on Brokeback were filled with playfulness.

"R" is ripoff

Ennis felt that it was a ripoff, getting cheated out of a month's pay, for their work on the mountain all summer.

When the summer's work had ended early, Jack offered to spare Ennis a loan, but it didn't play well with him.

"T" is tussles

Jack and Ennis had several playful tussles on the mountain until just before leaving, when Ennis doled out a dirty punch.

"U" is understaffed

Alma had been asked to work an extra shift so the grocery store wouldn't be understaffed.

"W" is workaday

On their trips away from the workaday world, Jack and Ennis could choose not to play the roles all husbands were expected to fall into.

"A" is admonished
« Reply #17178 on: April 17, 2008, 03:45:36 pm »
"If you pair of deuces are lookin' for work, I suggest you get your scrawny asses in here, pronto," admonished Aguirre. Jack and Ennis did not waste any time at all doing as he asked; they could tell he was not playing around.

"B" is benign
« Reply #17179 on: April 17, 2008, 03:52:01 pm »
Jack had filled out through the shoulders and hams; Ennis stayed as lean as a clothespole, stepped around in worn boots, jeans and shirts summer and winter.  A benign growth appeared on his eyelid and gave it a drooping appearance; a broken nose healed crooked.
