Jack and Ennis used tin cups to drink both coffee and whiskey.

"V" is vociferated

After he'd seen Jack drive away, Ennis vociferated his despair by means of loud yells, moans, sobs and whimpers.  :'(



Def. vociferate: To utter or cry out loudly and vehemently, especially in protest.

"W" is warranted

Jack redlined it to Wyoming to pay Ennis a visit after his divorce where one was unfortunately not warranted.



=clarification=
Jack felt Ennis' postcard about the divorce
warranted a trip to Wyoming.

"X" is xonerating

Jack viewed his trips to Mexico and “needing something he hardly ever got,” as xonerating circumstances to find male companionship other than Ennis’.
Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.

"Y" is yesterdays

Brokeback a la Shakespeare:

ENNIS:

I have almost forgot the taste of fear.
Long time has been my senses would run cold,
I’d dread that Sweet Life, and my fear and shame
Would at a mention of it rouse and stir:
It’d paralyze me. I have dreamed dreams of horror!
But now, admitting to my heart at last,
Nothing shall stop me.

Why does my soul cry?

This postcard says “deceased”!

He should have died hereafter.
There would have been a time for such a word.
Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last dark moment of our squandered time;
And all our yesterdays have led this fool
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life was a twisting shadow, a bull-rider,
Who twirled and clung his seconds on the bull
And then was crushed by hooves….. This is a tale
Told to make saints weep, full of loss and longing, -
Signifying true love.


============================================

=comment= For the less literary-inclined
Ennis is left with sweet memories of his and Jack's yesterdays.

Jack and Ennis drank beer from amber-colored bottles while sitting at the bar.

Scene:  Higgins Gift Shop

Linda Higgins greeted Ennis in her gift shop while he was looking at the postcards and while she was "throwing a sopping brown coffee filter into the garbage can".  [story]  (This scene was not shown in the film.)


=comment= Amber
Ironically, w/ the prior "A" answer (#6119) "amber-colored", we also have a player named "Amber"! :)

=aside= Meryl
I C Meryl listed above as "visiting" and we hope she re-playz!  If so, welcome back Meryl!  (Confirmed!)  Now, I can re-introduce U as the first player to start word answerz in color at the ABCz!

=information= vintage ABCz
Since I just had pvt. msgs. asking me when.... The first ABCz answer in color was Reply #68 by 1 Meryl on Day 2 in Round 3 on April 4th of Page 5!  BTW, the answer color was blue!  The word was "irrigation".  (U can guess the reference.)
