"E" is entrapment

"The open glory of the scenery is in absolute contrast to the social entrapment that fates Jack and Ennis to loveless marriages and negligent, ineffectual fatherhood." 
-- Matthew Kennedy, Bright Lights Film Journal

Lureen gave Jack a most fetching smile as she asked, "What are you waitin' for, cowboy, a matin' call?"

"G" is grimaced

Aguirre lowered his binoculars after spying on Ennis and Jack, grimaced over what he’d seen, but kept his mouth shut until Jack asked for work the following summer.

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

"H" is hell-raiser

Ennis to Jack:  "And I can't get the time off.  It was tough gettin' this time -- some a them late heifers is still calvin'.  You don't leave then.  You don't.  Stoutamire is a hell-raiser, and he raised hell about me takin' the week.  I don't blame him.  He probly [sic] ain't got a night's sleep since I left.  The trade-off was August.  You got a better idea?"  [story]

"I" is incidental

Scene:  Higgins Gift Shop

Ennis going to the Higgins Gift Shop and ordering a postcard of Brokeback Mountain seemed incidental at the time; however, as we all now know, the postcard was instrumental in the climatic final scene of the BBM movie placed by Ennis on the inside of his opened closet door  with "the two shirts" and that BBM postcard.

Ennis enjoyed the jocundity of the Brokeback evenings with his friend Jack Twist.

"K" is knurls
« Reply #6676 on: August 27, 2006, 02:03:08 am »
The quarters that Ennis fed into the jukebox had knurls on their edges.

knurl =  any of a series of small beads or ridges, as along the edge of a coin

Jack’s father-in-law sold tractors, combines and other large machines used for farming.

"N" is nethermost

After Ennis entered Jack's nethermost region, he pushed the thought of it back into the nethermost region of his mind.
