Ennis:  "So what's the occasion?"
Alma Jr. blows on her coffee, something on her mind.  This is hard for her...
Alma (apprehensive):  "Me and Kurt...we're getting married."  [screenplay]

"X" is xaminations
« Reply #6022 on: August 12, 2006, 10:04:02 am »
After Jack talks about failing his xaminations for the army, Ennis talks about it and his own self xaminations:
  "Sure as hell seem in one piece to me. You know, I was sittin up here all that time tryin to figure out if I was -- ? I know I ain't. I mean here we both got wives and kids, right? I like doin it with women, yeah, but Jesus H., ain't nothin like this. I never had no thoughts a doin it with another guy except I sure wrang it out a hunderd times thinkin about you. You do it with other guys? Jack?"    [short story]

"Y" is yipe

Ennis’ face was a study of yipe! when Jack grabbed his hand and Ennis realized where it was placed.  ;D

yipe means to express surprise per dictionary.com

=comment=
Ennis' body language certainly said "yipe!"
Fran

yipe (interjection) used to express surprise, fear, dismay (also yipes)

Getting jealous, Ennis says, "You been to Mexico, Jack?"

"C" is counterpoint

And so it goes on Brokeback Mountain, where the stunning Wyoming landscape plays in grand emotional counterpoint to the awkward romance depicted on screen.

Several of the original songs for Brokeback Mountain feature a duet between an acoustic guitar and a pedal steel guitar.
