"R" is respite

Jack’s getaways with Ennis weren’t only a chance to be with the man he loved, but they provided a welcome respite from his humdrum daily grind with Lureen and L.D. Newsome.
Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.

Ennis was always broke; he would just scrape by.

"V" is velvet

In the firelight that permeated the tent, we see Jack stroking Ennis’ cheek as gently as if he were fondling velvet.

Ennis and Jack part ways after that Brokeback summer to start building more conventional lives.

"X" is xploring

Anne Hathaway: ... Lureen is in a marriage with Jack that is based on a certain kind of love, but not passion; it doesn't go as deep as the connection he has with Ennis. I was interested in xploring what that would do to a person, how that would turn them.    [Production Notes]

"Y is yob

There were times when Ennis' temper got the best of him and he acted the yob.

def: a rowdy, aggressive or violent young man.

"Z" is Zaniah
« Reply #5888 on: August 09, 2006, 02:48:20 pm »
Jack saw Ennis’s night fire through the darkness on the mountain, shining as brightly and seeming just as far away as Zaniah in the skies above.

Def:
Zaniah is a star in the Virgo constellation, which seems quite fitting for Ennis at that point in time.  ;)  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eta_Virginis
