"X" is xiting

In the screenplay, Jack has one shot glass of tequila in the Mexican cantina, refuses more; and the bartender says, "Buenas noches, señor," as Jack is xiting.

In the liner notes for the “Brokeback Mountain Original Motion Picture Soundtrack” CD, “special thanks” are given to a number of people, including Lester Yano.

"A" is adamantine

About having a sweet little cow & calf operation with Jack, Ennis was adamantine in his rejection.  :(

def: Unyielding; inflexible: “If there is one dominant trait that emerges from this account, it is adamantine willpower.”

"You," he said to Ennis, taking in the ragged hair, the big nicked hands, the jeans torn, button-gaping shirt, "Fridays twelve noon be down at the bridge wih your next-week list and mules.  Somebody with supplies'll be there in a pickup."  He didn't ask if Ennis had a watch but took a cheap round ticker on a braided cord from a box on a high shelf, wound and set it, tossed it to him as if he weren't worth the reach.

The nature of the relationship between the boys was understood to be strictly confidential.

"D" is driver

Jack is the really cute driver of the pickup that enters the parking lot, stopping just to the right of Aguirre's employment office, one early morning in 1963.

"E" is eye-catcher

Ennis was an eye-catcher; he certainly caught Jack's attention the moment Jack pulled into the parking lot adjacent to Joe Aguirre's trailer.

"F" is fantasy

Jack came to realize that his desire of having a life together with Ennis was only a fantasy.
