"V" is voluble

Ennis wasn't voluble but he managed to hold Jack's interest nevertheless.

Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.

There's a small covered wagon on the chest in Jack's boyhood bedroom.

"X" is xplanation

Alma wanted an xplanation about why Ennis didn't run out to get another wife.  But she was thinking of Jack Nasty as a destructive force only.

Particularly in its initial stages, Jack and Ennis shared a somewhat yeasty relationship.

Jack Twist was proud of selling equipment used in agriculture and enjoyed showing it off to his son Bobby.

"B" is big-ass
« Reply #1737 on: May 12, 2006, 09:04:03 am »
In the short story, Jack describes to Ennis his return visit to Joe Aguirre:  "...but when I went out, I seen he had a big-ass pair of binoculars hanging off his rearview."

=clarification= expletives
Both the short story and the movie are laced with expletives. As may be expected, different people have different sensitivities when it comes to expletives.  We all come from different backgrounds and cultures, and what may be highly offensive to one person, may be only mildly offensive to another.  I do not want to be placed in a position of having to "rank" expletives; i.e., is the "C" word more offensive than the "F" word?  For the purposes of the "ABCs", expletives have been, and will continue to be, accepted as appropriate "ABCs" answers but only when quoted directly from the short story, the movie itself, or any of the screenplay versions of BBM.  In other words, I don't want to see:  L.D. acted like a real M.F. at Thanksgiving when he did his "stud duck" routine.  Contact me privately if further clarification is needed.

"C" is clandestine

The only pleasure Ennis had to look forward to was his clandestine trysts with Jack.
