Inspired by this thread BBM speak, is it creeping into your day to day life? (http://www.ennisjack.com/index.php?topic=3772.0), I thought it is useful for Brokies to practice the lines from BBM just in case you get the opportunity to "sin" in your daily life with BBM fashion.
Rule:
1. you can start a BBM line and the person who replies will need to follow.
2. The recital will follow the scene sequences of BBM.
3. Please no chit-chat
Have fun and yes cheating is allowed. ;D
First round of recital is completed on May 24, 07:56:25am EST
--------------------------------------------------------
Anything interesting up there in heaven?
-
yes i was thanking G'd for you forgetting yer harmonica and i'm enjoying the peace an quiet
-
Carlos - you are jumping ahead. ;) There is a line from Jack in between
For what?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You know, it could like this. Just like this, always.
-
You know, it could be this way. Just like this, always.
:'(
-
Yeah? How you figure that?
-
What if you and me had a little ranch together somewhere, little cow and calf operation, it'd be some sweet life. Hell, Lureen's old man, you bet he'd give me a downpayment if I'd get lost. Already more or less said it...
-
Told you, ain't gonna be that way.
-
What I'm saying, you got your wife and baby down in Texas, I got my life in Riverton
-
What I'm sayin', you got your wife and baby down in Texas, I got my life in Riverton.
-
Is that so? You and Alma that's a life?
-
Is that so? You and Alma...that's a life.
-
You shut up about Alma...this ain't her fault.
-
Bottom line, we're around each other this thing grabs on to us again in thewrong place, wrong time, we'll be dead.
-
There was these two old guys ranched together down home, Earl and Rich. They was a joke in town, even though they was pretty tough old birds. They found Earl dead in a irrigation ditch. They'd took a tire iron to him, spurred him up, drug him around by his dick till it pulled off...
-
You seen that?
-
I was what, nine years old? My dad, he made sure me and my brother seen it. Hell, for all I know, he done the job. :-\
-
Two guys livin' together? No way. We can get together once in a while way the hell out in the back of nowhere, but...
-
Once in while...every four !@#$ years?
-
If you can't fix it, Jack. . .you gotta stand it.
-
For how long?
-
As long as we can ride it. (pause) Ain't no reins on this one.
-
Great thread - but that's a dead end! I'll start a new one....
Four years, damn.
-
Didn't think I'd hear from you again. Thought that you were still sore from that punch
-
Four years. Didn't think I'd hear form you. Figured you was sore about that punch.
-
That next summer, I drove back up to Brokeback, talked to Aguirre 'bout a job. (pause) Told me you hadn't been back there, so I left. Headed down to Texas for rodeoin'. How I met Lureen. Made $2000 that year bullridin', nearly starved. Lureen's old man's got some serious money, farm machine business. (pause) 'Course he hates my guts...
-
Hmmm. The army didn't get you?
-
Nope, too busted up. And rodeo ain't like it was in my daddy's time. Got out while I could still walk.
-
(Pause) Swear to God I didn't know we was gonna get into this again....
-
Hell yes, I did. Red-lined it all the way, couldn't get here fast enough. What about you?
-
Me? ... I dunno...
-
Old Brokeback got us good, didn't it? (drags on cigarette) So what're we gonna do now?
-
Old Brokeback got us good, don't it?
(Ennis strokes Jack's arm)
-
I doubt there's nothin' we can do. I'm stuck with what I got here. Makin' a livin's about all I got time for now.
-
I doubt that there's nothin' we can do...
-
I'm stuck with what i got here... Makin' a living's about all i got time for now...
-
(they smoke) :D <Great job, everyone> :D
-
(they smoke) :D <Great job, everyone> :D
They sure were smokin!
-
(they smoke) :D <Great job, everyone> :D
thanks ethan for creating the thread! like the idea! :D so, who's got an idea for the next scene?
-
Jack Twist!
-
Ennis.
-
You folks just stop at Ennis? ;D
-
Del Mar. (LOL)
-
Nice to know you, Ennis Del Mar (we were not supposed to laugh ;D)
-
My second year up here.
-
My second year up here.
well, cremetorte, seems like no-one can remember the next line to that one....maybe we should try another bit?
How 'bout....
Don't rodeo much myself. What's the point a ridin' some piece a stock for 8 seconds....
-
Money's a good point...
-
Sure 'nuff
-
yer brother and sister do right by you?
-
They did the best they could.
-
after my folks was gone, considering they didn't leave us nothing but 24 dollars in a coffee can.
(Ennis's tongue loosens suddenly :P)
-
Got me a year a high school, before the transmission went on the pickup...
<not sure if that second bit is exactly right, but I'm doing this from memory not from a copy of the screenplay!>
-
my sis got married to a roughneck, brother moved to Worland, and that's how come, uh, you and me end up here...
(probably not too accurate, but that's what i remember... sort of... hee hee)
-
My sis left, married a roughneck, moved to Casper. Me and my brother got work on a ranch up near Worland until I was nineteen. He got married last month. No room for me. That's how come me end up here.
(Jack looks over at Ennis........ ;))
-
Jack smiles... Ennis.. "wha..?"
-
Friend, that's more words than you've spoke in the past two weeks. ;)
-
hell, that's more words i spoke in a year
-
ehhh that tent don't look right
-
It ain't goin nowhere. Let it be.
-
that harmonica of yours doesn't sounds good either
-
Jack "ha ha ha" ... continues to play harmonica
-
hell, that's more words i spoke in a year
my daddy, he's a fine roper, didn't rodeo much, ...thought rodeo cowboys are all f**k-ups...
-
hell no!
-
Yee-haw! I'm spurring his guts out! waving to the girls in the stand, he's kicking me to high heaven but he can't dashboard me... (falling down)
-
i guess my daddy was right then!
-
hell no!
Sorry, have to correct you here - it was "the hell they are" - one of my favourite Jack lines!
that harmonica of yours doesn't sounds good either
That's cos it got kinda squashed when that mare threw me...
-
<after hailstorm> what are we supposed to do now, huh?
-
<after hailstorm> what are we supposed to do now, huh?
Get in there and separate them Chilean sheep from ours, I guess
-
(working on seperating the sheep ) Jack: Agggh - Half the damn paint brands are wore off!
-
Least we c'n do is try to get the count right for Aguirre...
(Can't believe I'm setting someone else up to deliver the killer line here ;))
-
Least we c'n do is try to get the count right for Aguirre...
f*** AGUIRRE!!!!
-
F*ck Aguirre? What if we need work from him again, huh? Ever think a'that?
-
Starting a new one:
"honey, you seen my blue parka?"
-
last time I seen it you was in it .. day we had that big ice storm.
-
well, I coulda swear I left it here
-
you know, you been going up to Wyoming all these years .. why can't your buddy come down to Texas to fish?
-
coz the Big Horn mountains ain't in texas. besides, I doubt his pickup would make it this far anyways.
-
We got a new model comin' in next week - you're the best combine salesman we got.
Hell, you're the only combine salesman we got.
-
I'll be back in a week. that is, I will unless I freeze to death and I might freeze unless I find that parka.
(sorry to be leaving you in the middle MissRed, I really have to go to sleep... hope someone else jumps in)
-
I don't have your goddamn parka. You're worse than Bobby when it comes to losing stuff.
-
yea, speakin about Bobby, did you talk to his teacher about gettin him a tutor?
-
I thought you were gonna call?
-
I called the last time, the teacher don't like me, I complain too much...
-
I called the last time, the teacher don't like me, I complain too much... (now it's your turn)
alright, fine, I will, later ...
-
<Jack kisses Lureen> G'bye... I got 14 hours of drivin ahead of me...
-
(Lureen shaking her head after him as he leaves)
See, that just don't seem fair .. you drivin' all that way, two,three times a year, him never coming down here ....
End of Scene!! :)
-
<OK new one...>
You'd like a cup of coffee dont you, piece of cherry cake?
-
(this is a toughy, dirtbike! ..)
Thank you, ma'am. I'll take a cup a' coffee, but I can't eat no cake right now.
-
I'm awful sorry about Jack. You don't know how sorry I am.... If you want me to take his ashes up on Brokeback like his wife said he wanted to, I'd be happy to....
-
tell you what ... I know where Brokeback Mountain is. Thought he was too God d*mn special for the family plot.
-
Jack used to say, "Ennis Del Mar, one of these days I'll bring him up here and lick this ranch into shape"
-
... he had some half baked notion the two of you were gonna move up here, build a cabin, help run the place ...
-
Then this spring...he's got another fella gonna come up here...
-
some ranch neighbour a' his, from down in Texas.
-
They were gonna come up, help run the place.... but like most of Jack's ideas, they never come to pass... <spits in coffee cup>
-
*Ennis looking stricken, Jack's mom's hand comes down on his shoulder .. *
Jack's Mom -
I kept his room like when he was a boy; I think he appreciated that. You are welcome to go up to his room, if you want ..
-
Thank you, I'd like that...
-
<creak, creak... walking upstairs... finds the shirts..... takes a deep whiff....>
exhales and sighs "I love you".....
(OK OK, 50% of folks heard it... :'( )
-
:'( :'( :'( :'( :'( (sorry i can't continue i am so sad right now)
-
OK, I know this one's gonna break some hearts, but here goes....
Been meanin' to tell you somethin', bud. It's likely November before I can come up here again.
-
November? Whatever happened to August? Christ Ennis, you know you had a whole week to say some little word about this...
-
And why is it we're always in the freezin' cold? We oughta go south - we oughta go to Mexico!
-
Mexico? Hell Jack, the only travelin I do is goin around a coffee pot lookin for its handle...
-
Lighten up on me, Jack. We can hunt in November, kill a nice elk. See if I can get Don Wroe's cabin again. We had a good time that year, didn't we?
:'( (I am not supposed to choke on words but I can't help it)
-
We coulda had a good life together; a fu**in' real good life. But you didn't want it, Ennis!
-
So what we got now is Brokeback Mountain! Everything's built on that! That's all we got, boy, f****' all. So I hope you know that, even if you don't never know the rest!
-
Count the damn few times we been together in nearly twenty years.
-
measure the short f'n leash you keep me on, then ask me about Mexico and then tell me you'll kill me for needing something I don't hardly never get
-
You have no idea how bad it gets! I'm not you... I can't make it on a coupla high-altitude fucks once or twice a year! You are too much for me Ennis, you sonofawhoreson bitch! I wish I knew how to quit you.
(OMG! )
-
Then Why don't you? Why don't you let me be? It's because of you Jack that I'm like this. I'm nothing. I'm nowhere. :'(
-
Get the f*** off me! I can't stand being like this no more, Jack.
:'( :'( :'(
-
It's alright. It's alright.
-
:'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
Damn you, Ennis.
:'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
-
What Jack remembered and craved in a way he could neither help nor understand was the time that distant summer on Brokeback when Ennis had come up behind him and pulled him close, the silent embrace satisfying some shared and sexless hunger.
-
I am lost......
-
you are sleeping on your feets like a horse, my mom used to tell me that ( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'()
-
Ennis hums.
-
I got to go. See you in the morning. :(
-
Denny's restaurant in Riverton
(Cassie) Hey Ennis Del Mar. Where you been?
-
Here and there.
-
I left word for you with Steve at the ranch. And you must of those notes I left at your place.
-
"Well looks like I got the message anyways. :("
-
Carl? Yeah, Carl's nice. He even talks.
-
Well then good for you
-
I don't get you Ennis Del Mar! :'(
-
I'm sorry. I was probably no fun anyway was I?
-
Yeah, well, good for me.
(pause)
I don't get you Ennis Del Mar :'(
-
I'm sorry. I was probably no fun anyway was I?
Girls don't fall in love with fun Ennis! :'(
-
phone scene
(Lureen) Hello?
-
My name is Ennis Del Mar. I'm an old friend of Jack's. (??)
-
Who? Whos is this?
-
Jack used to mention you. You're the fishing buddy or the hunting buddy. I know that.
-
Yes..uhh I don't mean to bother you, but how did he die?
-
Oh yeah, Jack was pumping up a flat . . . . :'( :'( :'(
-
...on the truck out on a back road when the tire blew up.
-
The rim of the tire slammed into his face, breaking his nose and jaw, and knocking him unconscious on his back.
-
By the time somebody came along, he had drowned in his own blood.
-
He was only 39 years old.
-
(Long pause)
He buried down there?
-
We put a stone up.
-
We put a stone up. He was cremated, like he wanted, and half his ashes was interred here.
-
The rest I sent up to his folks.
-
They still live up in Lightnign Flat?
-
They'll be there until they die
-
Thanks for your time. I sure am sorry. We was good friends. :(
-
You want some coffee don't cha? A piece of cherry cake?
-
Thank you, ma'am, I'll take a cup a coffee, but I can't eat no cake just now.
-
I feel awful bad about Jack...can't begin to tell you how bad i feel.
-
Jack, I swear... :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
-
ok ok ok let's try to start from the begining!!!
==================================================================================
-
Not in the screenplay but in the movie...
Jack jump off his truck and kick it...
"sh*t!"
-
You two pair-o-deuces looking' for work, I suggest you get your scrawney asses in here.
-
...pronto.
-
Forest service has designated campsites on the allotments.
-
You fellas lookin for work, you better get yer scrawny a***s in here pronto.
-
Them camps can be 3, 4 miles from where we pasture the woolies. Now what I want is a camp tender in the main camp where the forest service says, but the herder pitches a pup tent on the QT with the sheep and he's gonna sleep there.
-
Eat you're breakfast and supper in camp, but you sleep with the sheep, 100 %. No fire, don't leave no sign, put out the fire incase the forest servive snoops around.
No, No, not on ya F**king life
-
You got your dogs, your 30-30, you sleep there. Last summer I had goddamn near 25% loss - I don't want that again.
-
You... (points at Ennis) Fridays at noon, be down at the bridge. With your grocery list and the mules. And somebody with supplies will be there at the pick-up.
-
tomorrow morning we'll truck you up to the jump-off
-
Jack Twist...
(BTW - this is OT, but I needed to share it somewhere and this seemed like the right place. I'm just back from a 40 km bike ride and do you know what I did for the entire ride? Yep, I recited Brokeback Mountain to myself - think I was word perfect for about 85% of the movie. It's your fault - all of you - that I'm like this ;D)
-
Ennis.
(and Lindsey... if it's our fault, than I'm proud to be guilty! ;D)
-
Your folks stop at Ennis?
-
Del Mar
-
Nice to know you, Ennis Del Mar
(keren - I think you and me are the only folk here at the moment!)
-
My second year up here. Last year a lightning storm killed 42 sheep. Thought I'd asphyxiate from the smell.
-
Aguirre got all over my ass like I'm supposed to control the weather
-
Beats working for my old man.
-
can't please my old man, no way. that's why I took to rodeoin'. you ever rodeo?
-
Uh, you know, once in a while, when I got the entry fee in my pocket...
(EDITED 'cos Keren replied at the same time with the same line!!)
-
Yeah. You from ranch people?
-
I was...
-
Your folks run you off?
-
Your folks run you off?
no, they ran themselves off. one curve in the road in 43 miles and they missed it. killed them both.
-
no, they ran themselves off. one curve in the road in 43 miles and they missed it. killed them both.
Bank took the ranch. Brother and sister raised me mostly.
-
shit. that's hard.
-
shit, can't wait until I got my own spread. Won't have to put up with Joe Aguirre's crap no more.
-
didn't we skip a scene there?... but anyway, here goes
I'm saving for a place myself. me and Alma, we'll be gettin' married when I come down off this mountain.
-
Shit, that stay with the sheep, no fire bullshit. Aquirre's got no right making us do something againts the rules
-
I wouldn't mind tradin wit cha!
-
No More Beans ;D
-
(I think we're getting scenes mixed up now, aren't we? Anyway, in response to Ethan's "No more beans"...)
So, uh, why didn't we get the spuds and the powdered milk?
-
that's all we got!
-
(OK, back on track now - thanks Carlos!)
Where in the hell have you been? I come in starving after being up with the sheep all day and all I find is beans...
-
What in hell happened, Ennis?!
-
Came on a bear's what happened. Goddamn horse spooked, mules took off, scattered food everywhere. Beans is about all we got left.
-
Well we gotta do somethin 'bout this food situation. I suppose we could shoot one of the sheep.
-
And what if aguirre's founds out! we are supposed to look for them not eat them
-
Are you kidding? There are a thousand of them!!
-
I'll stick with beans.
-
Well I won't!!
-
Wanna cuppa coffe don't you? Piece of Cherry cake?
(know I am jumping towards the end here, but we can always go back..and the last one sort of was the end of a scene...)
-
Thank you maam. I'll have the coffee. I don't think I could eat a piece of cherry cake right now.
-
I feel awful bad about Jack--can't begin to tell you how bad I feel. I knew him a long time.
-
I come by to say that if you want me to take his ashes up there on Brokeback like his wife said he wanted, I'd be proud to. :'( :'( :'( [sorry.]
-
Tell you what. I know where Brokeback Mountain is. Thought he was too goddam special to be put into the family plot.
-
Jack used to say - "Ennis Del Mar", he used to say
-
I'm gonna bring him up here one a these days, and we'll lick this damn ranch into shape.
-
Then, this spring, he's got another fella gonna come up here
<Nooooooooooooooooooo......oops, sorry, I just hate this bit>
-
some ranch neighbor of his from down in Texas. He's gonna split up with his wife and come back here. But like most of Jack's ideas, it never come to pass. [:(]
-
Would you like to see his room? I kept it like it was when he was a child. I think he appreciated that.
-
yes, i'd like that
-
(whispered) I love you
<apologies to those who haven't heard this, but it's the next line for me...>
-
tell you what... Jack will stay in the family plot...
-
Yes, sir
<dirtbiker - I think the line is "tell you what, we've got a family plot and he's goin' in it" - not that it matters, mind!>
-
You come back and see us.
-
(Going back to the "well I won't" bit)
WAAHOI!! YEAH!!
(lol this bit makes me laugh everytime ;D ;D)
-
Gittin tired of yer dumb ass missin!
-
*giggling insanely :P) Let's get a move on. Don't want the game and fish to catch us with no elk
-
(Next day)
You know I'm commutin' four hours a day. I come in for breakfast, go back to the sheep, evenin' get 'em bedded down, come in for supper, go back to the sheep, spend half the night checkin' for damn coyotes. Aguirre got no right makin' me do this.
-
I wouldn't mind trading with ya.
-
That ain't the point. Point is, we both outta be in this camp. *slams pot down* Goddamn (something - i can never quite hear what that is ) smells like cat piss or worse.
-
I wouldn't mind being out there...
(and the word you were looking for was "goddamn pup tent")
-
Well, I'm happy to switch with you but I warn you - I can't cook worth a damn. Though I am pretty good with a can opener.
-
can't be no worse than me, then
-
Won't get much sleep, I'll tell you that
-
Shot a coyote, big son of a bitch, balls on him size a apples.
-
Looked like he could eat himself a camel
-
You want some a this hot water?
-
It is all yours
-
don't rodeo much myself. what's the point of ridin' some piece of stock for 8 seconds?
-
Money's a good point.
-
sure enough
-
If you don't get stomped winnin' it
-
My old man was a bullrider, pretty well knowed in his day
-
He never taught me a thing. And he never once came to see me ride.
-
Your brother and sister do right by you?
-
They did the best they could. Then my sister married a rough neck and moved to Casper.
-
They did the best they could after my folks was gone, considering they didn't leave us nothing but 24 dollars in a coffee can.
-
Me and my brother got work on a ranch near Worland until I was 19. Then he got married--no room for me. That's how I ended up here.
-
Whut??
-
<Jack smiling> Ennis: "wha...?" <look of bewilderment ;) >
-
Friend that's the most you've spoke in the last two weeks.
-
Hell it's the most I've spoke in a year ;D
-
That's more i've spoken in a year
-
Jack sings "Water Walkin Jesus"
-
My dad now, he was a fine roper. Didn't rodeo much, though. Thought rodeo cowboys were all f***-ups.
-
The hell they are!
-
Yee-Haw! I'm spurring his guts out! Waving to the girls in the stands.
-
Yee-haw! I'm spurrin his guts out! Wavin' to the girls in the stands!
-
He's kicking to high heaven, but he can't dashboard me! No way! Yee-haw
(Jack finally threw himself, collapses in a heap among the saddles.....way to go, Jack) :D
-
I think my daddy was right. :)
-
(end scene)
Tent don't look right.
-
Aw let it be.
-
That harmonica don't sound quite right either.
-
That's cause it got kinda flattened when the mare threw me.
-
I thought you said that mare couldn't throw you.
-
It just got lucky I guess
-
If I got lucky that harmonica would have broke in two.
-
I know I shall meet you on that judgment day. Water-walking Jesus, take me away. . . .
-
that was very good ;D ;D ;D
-
My mama, she believes in the Pentecost.
-
What exactly is the penecost? My folks, they was methodists
-
Well..the Pentecost......
-
pentecost is ....well i don't know what pentecost is my mama never told me i guess whe the world comes to end folks like you and me would go straight to hell
-
speak for yourself you may be a sinner but i ain't got yet the opportunity! (sorry i have to say it)
-
LOL @ Carlos (I was so ready to say it)
---------------------------------------------------
Shit. I'm going to go up to the sheep now.
-
give 'em hell!
-
It's too late to go the them sheep.
-
You got a extra blanket, I'll roll up out here and grab forty winks, ride out at the first light.
-
Freeze your ass off once the fire burns down. Better off sleeping in the tent ( ;))
-
(Ennis, outside, is shevering, teeth chatters uncontrollably)
-
Ennis!
Wha?
-
Quit your hammering and get over here. ;D
-
Wha'ta ya doin'?
-
f**k me, f**k me (for those who heard it) ;D
-
see you for supper
-
This is a one shot thing we got going on here.
-
you know i ain't queer :-\
-
you skipped one dirtbiker...
it was "it's nobody's business but ours" from Jack
and then - "you know I ain't queer"
-
hee hee u're right keren... how can i forget one of my favorite lines!
...me neither...
-
I'm sorry... I'm sorry...
-
(ah, this is a difficult one - since we're all still arguing over what was said next. I would have gone straight to this line Keren!)
S'alright. It's alright.
-
Come here ( lie back?)

Hey - frances and Esme, you've just skipped a HUGE chunk of the movie! Back to where we were....at the end of SNIT
Twist. Your uncle Harold's in the hospital with pneumonia. Docs don't expect him to make it. Your ma sent me up here to tell you so...here I am.
-
Bad news. Ain't much i can do about it up here, i guess.
-

(we can always go back :) didn't have to be in order :) )
-
Ain't much you can do about it down there neither. Unless you can cure pneumonia.
(OT, but I love the way Jack follows the line of Aguirre's binoculars and realises what he's witnessed...)
-
them sheep'll drift if I don't get back there tonight!
-
You'll get pitched off your horse in this storm, and regret tryin'
Close it up
-
<after they discover the sheep have mixed with another flock>
Well whut are we supposed to do now?
-
Get on in there untangle them Chilean sheep from ours, i guess
-
The paint brand wore off on some of these
-
We've got to try. At least we can get the count right for Aguirre.
-
F*CK AGUIRRE!!!
(Yay - I got to do this line!!!)
-
(Jack playing with his harmonica)
You'll run the sheep off again if you don't quiet down.
-
Aguirre came by again. Said my uncle didn't die after all.
-
Says bring 'em down.
-
Bring em down? Why? It's the middle of August
-
Aguirre said there's a storm comin from the Pacific, worse than this one...
-
Well that snow barely stuck it out. Huh? Besides, that son of a bitch, he's cutting us out a whole month's pay. It ain't right
-
I can spare you a loan, bud, if you're short on cash. Give it to you when we get to Signal.
-
I don't need your money, huh,you know I ain't in the poorhouse. Shit!
-
*disheartened* Alright
-
Time t'get goin', cowboy...
-
Something to do with a rodeo cowboy... f**king rodeo cowboy?
-
Something to do with a rodeo cowboy... f**king rodeo cowboy?
I think the line is "this ain't no rodeo, cowboy"
-
Something to do with a rodeo cowboy... f**king rodeo cowboy?
I think the line is "this ain't no rodeo, cowboy"
Yep it is.
-
Some of these never went up there with you. (Aguirre)
-
You ranch stiffs ain't never no good
-
the count ain't quite what i hoped for neither...
-
Give it some gas
-
I can't believe I left my shirt up there.
-
yeah..you gonna do this again next summer?
-
Maybe not. Like I said, me and Alma's gettin' married in November.
-
So...I'll try to get somethin' on a ranch, I guess. And you?
-
Might go up to my Daddy's place, give a hand through the winter.
-
I might be back..if the army don't get me.
-
Well see you around I guess.
-
Right.
-
Right.
-
Left ??? ??? ???
<OT Sorry i was tempted to do it!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D>
-
What the f*ck are you looking at? Huh?!
-
And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us....
-
Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, forever. Amen
-
...under the powers vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife...you may kiss the bride...and if you don't, I will...
-
You all right? (sledding scene)
-
How you girls doin'?
-
All right. Jenny's still got a runny nose. (is this the right scene??)
-
Ennis, could you wipe Alma Jr.'s nose?
-
if i had 3 hands i would
-
Girls alright?
-
(Later that night - Ennis in those PJs!)
Girls all right?
<BTW - we skipped a whole two scenes. Ennis listening to the other road worker talking and then Jack going back to Aguirre's trailer>
-
Ennis - (nods, eyes closed)
Jenny stopped her coughin'. Maybe I'll take the girls into town this weekend. Get 'em an ice cream, somethin'...
-
yeah... Jenny stopped her coughin'
-
we're not so lonely now are we...
-
Ennis, can we move to town.
-
There's a place above the laundromat by Riverton. I bet I can fix it up real nice...
-
I bet you could fix this place up real nice if you wanted to.
-
I'm tired of staying in this old ranch. No one for Alma Jr and Jenny to play with....
-
Ennis, I know you'd like it too. A real home.
-
Not so lonely like you were raised.
-
Rent in town is too high...
-
You don't want it to be so lonely do you?
-
Come here
-
Are the girls asleep?
-
Like to buy Jimbo a beer. Best rodeo clown I ever worked with.
-
No thanks, Cowboy ...
-
If I was to let every rodeo hand I pulled a bull off buy me a beer I'd have been an alcoholic long ago.
-
Pulling bulls off you buckaroos is just my job.
-
So save you r money for your next entry fee cowboy
-
(Bartender) ... Ever try calf ropin'?
-
Do I look like I could afford a f*ckin' ropin' horse?
-
We should move closer.
-
Let's not Ennis - Jenny'll get scared
-
You wanna watch it, I've got two little girls here.
-
F**k you
-
you wanna lose half yer f**king teeth?
-
"Not tonight buddy, I'd sure rather not" ;D
-
**************
Hey Monroe.
-
Is Alma here?
-
Yeah she's in the condiments aisle.
-
The Whut?
-
Ketchup.
-
Oh..thanks.
-
Hi Honey. What are you all doing here?
-
In a big hurry, boss called, got to run up to the ranch... all the heifers must've decided to calve at the same time. thought i could drop the girls w/you
-
Ennis I got a million things to do here before I can leave. I don't get off for another 3 hours.
-
mama, I need crayons
-
Not now Alma. Ennis you said you could keep them tonight.
-
I can't afford not to be there when the heifers calve. Be my job if I lose any of em
-
What about my job?
-
All right then, I'll call my sister and see if she can take them...
-
I might be half the night. Bring home some round steak if you think of it.
-
<Alma Jr. causes one of the store displays to crash>
I'm sooo sorry Monroe!
-
It's OK Alma, it's OK
-
I'll clean it up as soon as I call my sister to come get the girls.
-
Alma, come with me.
-
Honey, got a surprise for you!
-
I got two whole boxes of formula for you, 120 cans.
-
120 cans? :o :o
-
LD where did you put em?
-
i left them on the back of the car! rodeo would get them!
<throws keys to Jack>
-
L.D. I can already see who little Bobby looks like.
-
Looks like grampa, don't he, rodeo...
-
(Hope I haven't skipped a scene...)
Ennis, you know somebody name a Jack?
-
I might. Why?
-
You got a postcard come general delivery
-
Was he someone you cowboyed with or what?
-
Nah. Jack, he rodeo's mostly. We was fishin' buddies...
-
Maybe we could get a babysitter, take your friend to the knife and fork.
-
Nah. Jack, he ain't the restaurant type. We'll probably just go out and get drunk. That's if he shows...
-
Jake f*** Twist
-
sonofabitch, sonofabitch
-
Alma, this is, er, Jack Twist. Jack, this is my wife Alma
-
Jake f*** Twist
(shouldn't that be "Jack"? ;) )
Hello
-
Oh, you got a kid?
(BTW, should there not have been some mumbled words a couple of lines back? "C'mere", "hey" and "later" maybe? ;))
-
Yea, two little girls.... Alma Jr. & Jenny...
-
I got a boy. Eight months old. Smiles a lot.
-
married the prettiest little gal in Childress, Texas, Lureen.
-
Nice. Uh, me an' Jack's gonna head out and get ourselves a drink. We might not get back tonight - we get to drinkin' an' talkin' an' all.
(I love this moment. We have a phrase here in Scotland "gagging for it"....kinda sums up the way Ennis and Jack were acting here ;D ;D)
-
Sure enough
-
Ennis, can you pick me up a pack of -
-
Alma, you want smokes there's some in the pocket of my blue shirt in the bedroom
-
(smokes)
You want smokes Alma, they're in the top pocket of my blue shirt in the bedroom.
-
four years...
-
damn....
-
yeah, four years... didn't think I'd hear from you again. figured you was still sore about that punch.
-
nah... last summer I went back to look for work on Brokeback. Aguirre said you hadn't been back, so I left...
-
Went down to Texas for rodeoing, that's how I met Lureen. I made $2000 a year, I nearly starved (or something like that anyway :P)
-
Hmmm. The army didn't get you?
-
No, too busted up. And rodeo ain't like it was in my daddy's time. Got out while I could still walk.
-
Mmmm. Swear to God I didn't know we was going to get into this again. Oh, yes I did. Redlined it all the way here. Couldn't get here fast enough. What about you?
-
Me? I don't know.
-
me... a dunno...
-
what're we gonna do now?
-
(we skipped one line :o)
Old Brokeback got us good
-
I doubt there's nothing we can do. So I'm stuck with what I got here. And making a living's about all I got time for now
-
(Ennis and Jack went back to the apartment)
Me and Jack's heading up to the mountainds for a day or two. Do a little fishin'
-
There's a job at the power company, it might be good pay...
-
As clumsy as I am, I'll probably get electrocuted
-
I'm confused, where are we??? ??? ???
I thought it was "You know, your friend could come inside and have a cup of coffee" bit next?
-
I'm confused, where are we??? ??? ???
I thought it was "You know, your friend could come inside and have a cup of coffee" bit next?
I'll go with that.
Well he's from Texas.
Texans don't drink coffee?
-
Well done ande_nem - I was confused too! Anyway.....
You sure that foreman won't fire you for takin' off?
-
you know, he owes me one... I worked through a blizzard one winter, remember that? Besides I'm gonna only be gone for a couple days.
-
Bring me a fish, daddy, a big fish.
Come here.
See you Sunday, latest.
-
I'm starving, want something to eat?
-
Old Brokebackgot us good, don't it? What're we gonna do now?
-
I'm starving, want something to eat?
See anything interesting up there in heaven?
-
just sendin' up a prayer of thanks
(i'm not sure if that's the right quote... ::) )
-
For what?
-
(smiles) for you forgetting to bring that harmonica.
-
You know it could be like this, just like this, always
( :'( :'( :'( )
-
Yeah, how you figured that?
-
What if you an' me had a little ranch someplace, a little cow and calf operation. It'd be a sweet life.
( :'( :'( :'( )
-
Hell, Lureen's old man, you bet he'd give me a downpayment if i get lost.
-
I mean, he more or less already said it
-
Told you, ain't goin' to be that way
( :'( :'( :'( )
-
You got your wife and baby in Texas, an' I got my life in Riverton
-
You've got your wife and baby in Texas and I've got my life in Riverton
-
is that so? you and alma, that's a life...
-
Shut up about Alma, this ain't her fault.
-
Bottom line is...we're around each other...and this thing grabs hold of us again...in the wrong place...the wrong time...then we're dead
( :'( :'( :'( )
<Christie and cremetorte - thanks for joining in. I was beginning to think it was only me and Twisted here tonight!>
-
I tell ya, there were these two old guys, down home, Earl and Rich
-
They were tough old birds... Anyway, one day they found Earl dead in an irrigation ditch... :'(
-
Took a tire iron to 'im. Spurred him up, drug him 'round by his dick 'till it pulled off.
-
You seen this?
-
I wasn't... nine years old. My daddy, he made sure me and brother seen it. Hell for all I know, he done the job.
-
I was about eight then. My daddy, he took us down there and made sure we saw it. Heck, for all I know, he done the job himself..
-
Two guys living together? No way. We can get together every once in a while way out in the middle of nowhere but...
-
Every four f**kin years?
-
If you can't fix it, Jack, you gotta stand it.
-
For how long?
-
For as long as we can ride it. There ain't no reins on this one.
-
(Alma)
Supper's on the stove.
-
No one's eating unless you're serving it Alma!
-
I already promised I'd take the extra shift!
-
Tell him you made a f**king mistake!
-
Alma! Goddammit!
-
You girls need a push?
-
Noooo. :(
-
Listen gentlemen, this ain't your typical caddy. I told you what it can do.. now let me show you...
-
Didn't that pissant used to ride the bulls?
-
He used to TRY it! ::)
-
He used to try...
-
Honey, you seen my blue parka?
-
Last time i saw it you was in it. The day we had the big ice storm.
-
Well, I could of swore I left it here.
-
You know, you been going up to Wyoming all these years. Why can't your buddy come down here to Texas and fish? ;D
-
Because the Big Horn Mountains ain't in Texas. I doubt his pick up would make it.
-
New models coming in this week,, remember? and you're the best combine salesman we got... the ONLY combine salesman...
-
I'll be back in a week. That is unless I freeze to death and I'll freeze to death if I don't find that parka.
-
You know you're worse than Bobby when it comes to losing things
-
Speaking of Bobby, did you call the school about getting him a tutor?
-
I thought you were gonna call
-
I complain too much..His teacher don't like me...Now it's your turn...
-
Okay, fine.
In the movie she says, Okay fine, so I'll call later.
-
Gotta go, got fourteen hours of driving ahead of me.
-
See now it don't seem fair. You goin' up there 2, 3 times a year, and him never comin' down here.
-
(the Del Mar apartment, Ennis packing for his trip)
Ennis, they got a opening over at the power company. Might be good pay.
-
Clumsy as I am, I'd probably get electrocuted or somethin'
-
Daddy, the church picnic's next weekend.
-
Daddy, the church picnic's next weekend. Will you be back from fishin' by next weekend?
-
Ah... all right... 's long as I don't have to sing!
-
You forgettin' something?
-
You're late.
-
Look what I brought.
-
Beans.
-
Gonna fix 'em like I used to.
-
I wish we'd jump a cyote. I'd love to rope a cyote.
-
Doubt I'll live to see that miracle
(Hey - this bit isn't in the movie....)
-
Whoa, son, there you go. No hands!
-
It's Saturday night. We could still smarten up, head on over to the church social...
(hey Keren - we appear to be matching each other post for post here!)
-
That fire and brimstone crowd? ::)
-
I think it'd be nice.
-
(Ennis and Alma in bed)
As far behind as we are on the bills, it makes me nervous not to take no precautions...
-
If you don't want no more of my kids, I'd be happy to leave you alone...
-
I'd have them, if you'd support them.... :-\
-
Custody of the two minor children, Alma Jr. and Jennifer Del Mar, is awarded to plaintiff. Defendent is ordered to pay child support to the plaintiff in the sum of $125 a month, for each of the minor children until they reach the age of 18. Del Mar divorce granted, this 6th day of November 1975.
-
.... What're you doin' here?
-
Got your message 'bout the divorce
-
This is my friend Jack
-
Girls, say hello to Jack...
-
Jack, these are my girls, Alma Jr. and Jenny.
(O/T This is my first post. Hello everybody!)
-
girls: "hello..."
-
So I got your card. The divorce came through . . . (Jack licks his lips)
-
So here i am.
-
Had to ask about 10 different people in Riverton where you'd moved to.
-
Jack, uh, I don't know what to say...
-
See I get the girls once a month and I missed last month because of the round-up.
-
yeah, alright.
-
Jack..........
Yeah, alright then, see ya next month, then.....
-
<Jack drives away devestated. He ends up in Mexico>
Senior'?
-

Here we go.
-
Whoa there Rodeo. Stud duck'll do the carving around here.
-
Just tryin to save you the trouble LD.
-
Bobby if you don't eat your dinner I'm going to have to turn off that television.
-

-
You heard your Mama. You finish your meal and then you can watch the game.
-
Daddy? Daddy!
-
hell, we don't eat with our eyes. you want your son to grow up to be a man, don't ya, daughter? Boys should watch futball
-
Hell, we don't eat with our eyes.
You want your son to grow up to be a man, don't you, daughter?
Boys should watch football.
-
Not until he finishes the meal his mama spent three hours fixin'.
-
You sit down you old son of a bitch!
-
This is MY house and this is MY son. You are guest in my home. Now sit down before I knock yer ignorant ass into next week!
-
This is my house, this is my child and you are my guest.
-
This is my house! This is my child! And you are my guest! So sit the hell down, or I'll knock your ignorant ass into next week.....
-
Daddy tell abouit when you rode broncs in the rodeo.
-
it's a short story honey. i was only about 3 seconds on the bronc, and the next thing I knew, I was flyyyyyin' through the air. Only I wasn't no angel like you and Jenny... Didn't have no wings.. And that's the story of my saddle bronc career...
-
You ought to get married again Ennis.
-
You ought to get married again Ennis.
Burned once...
-
you still go fishing with Jack Twist?
-
Not often.
-
You know, I used to wonder how come you never brought any trouts home.
-
You know how me and the girls love fish.
-
So one night I got your creel case open the night before you went on one of your little trips- price tag still on it after 5 years and I tied a note on the end of the line.
-
It said "Hello Ennis. Bring back some fish. Love, Alma."
-
And then you come back looking all perky and said you caught a bunch of browns and ate them up.
-
That don't mean nuthin Alma.
-
Don't try to fool me no more Ennis. I know what it means.
Jack Twist?
Jack Nasty!
{Yeah for me I got to say it! :)}
-
You don't go up there to fish!! :(
-
You don't know nothing about it Alma!
-
I'm gonna call Monroe!
-
Go on and F**king yell. I'll make him eat the f**king floor and you too!
-
Get out! Get out!
-
Get out of my house, Ennis Del Mar! You hear me? You get out!
-
Hey Ennis Del Mar, where ya been?
-
Here & there...
-
I left word for you with Steve at the ranch. And you must of got those notes I left at your place.
-
Looks like I got the message in any case
-
Carl? Yeah.. Carl's nice.. he even talks.
-
Well then, good for you.
-
Ennis Del Mar, I don't get you :\'(
-
(goes above dirtbiker's) Yeah, well, good for me.
(Then dirtbiker's)
I don't get you Ennis Del Mar.
-
I'm sorry...
I was probably no fun anways, was I...
-
Oh Ennis. . .girls don't fall in love with fun!
-
Lureen: Hello?
-
Get out of my house, Ennis Del Mar! You hear me? You get out!
Uh, I'm quoting Ethan here 'cos we missed out a huge chunk - can't really have Ennis dumping Cassie before he's met her now can we? ;) Anyway.....
(Jack and Ennis together in the mountains)
All I'm sayin' is, what's the point to makin' it? If the taxes don't get it, the inflation eats it all up. You should see Lureen, punchin' numbers into her addin' machine, her eyes gettin' smaller and smaller.
-
Uh, I'm quoting Ethan here 'cos we missed out a huge chunk - can't really have Ennis dumping Cassie before he's met her now can we? ;) Anyway.....
Thanks, NoReins.
It's like watching a rabbit trying to squeezes into a snakehole with a coyote on its tail.
-
That's some high quality entertainment if you ask me
-
for what it's worth
(YAY, I got to say that!!! )
-
Hey, you and Lureen, it's normal and all?
-
do you ever get the feeling, when you're in town and people look at you, suspiciously, like they know?
-
And then you go outside and everyone's lookin' at you, like they all know too....
-
well maybe you should get outta there. find yourself some place different, maybe Texas.
-
Texas? Sure and maybe Alma will let you and Lureen adopt the girls and we could all live together herding sheep and it'll rain money from LD Newsome and whiskey will flow in the springs...that's real smart Jack
-
( gets all mad )
go to hell Ennis del Mar. You want to live your misserable !@#$ life go right ahead. I was just thinking out loud.
-
Yeah, you're a real thinker ain't you? Jack f*ckin' Twist - got it all figured out..
-
( Bar. the devil's right hand starts playing. Ennis gets up and Cassie walks up to him )
just finished my shift. wanna dance?
-
Was on my way to the....
-
I'm Cassie. Cassie Cartwright.
-
I'm Cassie. Cassie Cartwright.
-
Ennis. Del Mar.
-
(after dancing)
No more dancing for me I hope.
-
You're off the hook. my feet hurt.
-
hard work, is it?
-
drunks like you, demandin' beer after beer. smokin'. get's tiresome. so what do you do ennis del mar?
-
Earlier today I was castrating calves.
(ha! my favorite line! thank you koka!! ;D)
-
Ugh.
( you're welcome sweety! ennis sure knows the best way to a girl's heart now doesn't he ;D oh wow, my 666th post >:D )
-
what are you doin'?
-
Tryin' to get a foot rub, dummy.
-
Pledged tri delt a SMU and I sure never thought I'd end up in a pokey little place like Childress but then I met old Randall and he was an animal husbandry major and we been here month, he's got the foreman's job over at Ron Taylor's ranch. Like it or not here I am.
(gawd, she can talk)
-
you skipped:
Alright.That good?
-
Tri del? I was Kappa Phi myself.
-
well, even though we ain't quite sorority sisters, we may have to dance with ourselves Lureen. our husbands ain't the least bit interested in dancing, they don't seem to have a smidgin of rythem between 'em.
-
It's funny, ain't it? Husbands don't never seem to dance with their wives. Why do you think that is, Jack?
-
I don't never give it a thought.
Wanna Dance?
-
Yes! Thank you!
-
Jack to Randall: "Do you mind?"
Randall: "No"
Jack: "Alright"
Lashawn: "Pardon us, thank you for asking me to dance with you, I really appreciate that, Randall never does"
-
(Having to refer to my screenplay here...)
Thank you for asking to dance with me, I really appreciate that, I really do.
-
(This is too difficult, so had to refer to the book ;) ...saving you all the trouble )
It's a good thing that you and Lureen happened along when you did, or else we'd still be stuck on the side of the road in that darn pickup. I told Randall we oughta take the car, 'course he don't ever listen to me. He wouldn't listen to me if he was goin' deaf tomorrow. I told Randall it takes more than chewing gum and baling wire to keep a pickup goin'
-
Well, he's never been very mechanical though
-
EVer notice how a woman'll powder her nose before she goes to a party, and then powder it again when the party's over? Why powder your nose just to go home and go to bed?
-
Don't know, and even if I wanted to know couldn't get a word in with LaShawn long enough to ask. woman talks a blue streak.
-
Lively little gal
You'll enjoy working for Roy Taylor - he's solid
-
yeah, Roy, he's a good ole boy.
(I can't do the next part, I hate it).
-
Yeah Roy, he's a good old boy.
-
He's got a little cabin down on Lake Kemp... ;)
-
yeah, Roy, he's a good ole boy.
(I can't do the next part, I hate it).
(I hate it too, but I guess someone has to....)
He's got a little cabin down on Lake Kemp. Says I can use it whenever I want. We ought to go down there some weekend. Drink some whiskey, fish a little, get away...you know?
(Nooooooooooooooooooo...............)
-
... when I was right out of SMU I coulda had my pick of pretty much any job in north Dallas, so my pick was Neiman Marcus which was a disaster because where clothes are concerened, honey, I get no resistance, I was spending more than I made, more probably than Randall ever will make...
(help me out here she's exhausting)
-
we come out here thinkin' ranching was still big hats and Marlboros, boy, were we behind the times....
-
hey there Junior
-
What do you think? Your daddy ever gonna see fit to settle down again?
-
don't know. maybe he's not the marrying kind.
-
I don't know. Maybe he's not the marrying kind
-
You don't think so? Or you don't think I'm the one for him?
-
you think so? or you don't think I'm the one for him?
-
(lol snap)
You don't think so? Or you don't think I'm the one for him
-
You don't think so? Or you don't think I'm the one for him?
-
You're good enough
-
you don't say much, but you get your point across
( always wanted to say that, one of my fav lines ;D ;D ;D )
-
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be rude.
-
I'm sorry, didn't mean to be rude
-
C'mon cowboy, you're stayin on your feet...
-
excuse me sweetheart
-
I'll pick you and Jenny up after church next weekend after church...
-
Fine.
-
You alright?
-
Yes.
-
Ennis..."R u sure?"
-
Daddy, I was thinking, with the new baby and all, Mom and Monroe they've been awful strict on me. More on me than Jenny even.
-
And I was thinking...maybe I could...maybe I could come stay with you. I'd be an awful big help, I know I would.
-
You know I ain't really set up for that. And with the roundup coming I won't ever be home.
-
It's alright, Daddy.
-
I ain't saying I wouldn't want...
-
It's alright, Daddy. I understand.
-
See you next Sunday then.
-
Bye.
(I've got all the short and easy ones!)
-
Gonna snow tonight for sure.
-
All this time and you ain't found nobody else to marry?
-
All this time and you ain't found nobody else to marry?
-
Been putting the blocks to a good lookin' little gal over in Riverton.
-
She's a waitress. Want's to go to nursing school or somethin'
-
I don't know. What about you and Lureen?
-
Lureen's good at making hard deals in the machinery business, but as far as our marriage goes, we could do it over the phone.
-
I kind of got this things going with a ranch foreman's wife.
-
I expect to get shot by Lureen or the husband every time I slip off to see her.
-
You probably deserve it
-
Tell you what. Sometimes I miss you so much I can hardly stand it.
-
Guess I'll head up to Lightening Flat. See the folks for a day or two.
{We're moving into crying territory}
-
There's been something I've been meaning to tell you bud. It's likely November before I can come out here again. After we ship stock and before winter feeding starts.
(I am getting out my kleenex)
-
November? What in the hell happened to August? Christ Ennis, you had a f**king week to say some little word about this.
-
(Ennis shakes head) Why are we always in the friggin cold? We should go some place warm. We should go to Mexico.
-
Mexico? Hell you know me. About all the traveling I ever done is going around the coffepot lookin' for the handle.
-
Lighten up on me Jack. We can hunt in November. Kill us a nice elk. I'll try if I can to get Don Wroe's cabin again. We had a good time that year, didn't we?
-
Never enough time, never enough.
You know friend, this is a GD bitch of an unsatisfactory situation. You used to come away easy and now it's like seeing the pope.
:\'(
-
Jack I gotta work. In them earlier days I just quit the job. You ever heard of child support?
-
Let me tell you, I can't quit this one. And I can't get the time off.
-
It was hard enough getting this time off. The trade off was August.
-
You got a better idea?
-
I did once.
-
You been to Mexico, Jack? I heard what they got in Mexico for boys like you.
-
Hell yes I been to Mexico. Is that a f*ckin problem?!
-
I got to say this to you one time Jack F**cking Twist. And I ain't foolin'.
What I don't know, all them things that I don't know could get you killed if I should come to know them.
-
Try this one and I'll say it just one time!
-
Tell you what, we could have had a good life together, f**king real good life, had us a place of our own.
-
But you didn't want it Ennis! So what we got now is Brokeback Mountain.
-
Everything built on that. It's all we got boy f**king all, so I hope you know that if you don't never know the rest.
{Here I go- :\'(}
-
Count the damn few times we been together in nearly 20 years and measure the short f*cking leash you keep me on, then ask me about Mexico and tell me you'll kill me for needin something I don't hardly never get!
-
You have no idea how bad it gets.
-
And I'm not you. I can't make it on a coupla high altitude f*cks once or twice a year.
-
You're too much for me Ennis. You son of a whoreson bitch.
-
I wish I knew how to quit you
-
Then why don't you? Why don't you let me be?
-
It's cause of you that I'm like this Jack. I'm nothin, I'm nowhere.
-
Get the f**k off me!
-
It's alright, it's alright.
I can't stand this no more, Jack.
-
Damn you, Ennis.
-
(Back in 63)
Come on now, you're sleepin' on your feet like a horse.
-
My mother used to sing to me when I was little. She used to sing (Ennis hums).
-
I got to go.
-
See you in the morning
( :\'( :\'( :\'( )
-
Hey Ennis del Mar, where you bin?
-
Here and there
-
I left word for you with Steve at the Ranch. And you musta got those notes I left at your place.
-
Looks like I got the message in any case
-
Carl? yeah, Carl's nice. He even talks.
-
Good for you
-
I don't get you Ennis Del Mar.
-
Sorry. I probably wasn't much fun anway, was I?
-
Ennis, girls don't fall in love with fun :\'(
-
Lureen on phone: Hello?
(Oh god, i don't like this part of the movie!!! :\'( :\'()
-
Hello? Ma'am? This is Ennis del Mar...
-
who?
-
who is this?
-
I'm an old friend of Jack's
-
Jack used to mention you. You're the fishin' buddy or the huntin' buddy , I know that. Woulda let you know what happened but wasn't sure about your name or address. Jack kept his friends addresses in his head...
-
That's why I'm callin', I wanted to find out what happened... :\'(
-
Oh yeah... Jack was pumping up a flat on the truck out on the back road when the tire blew up... :\'( :\'(
-
The rim of the tire slammed into his face, broke his nose and jaw and knocked him unconcious on his back.
:\'( :\'( :\'(
-
By the time somebody came along, he'd drowned in his own blood. He was only thirty nine years old.
:\'( :\'( :\'(
-
Is he buried down there?
-
omg... i hate you all :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'(
We put a stone up, he was cremated like he wanted, half his ashes was interred here, and the rest is sent up to his folks, he used to say he wanted his ashes scattered on Brokeback Mountain but I wasn't sure where that was. I thought Brokeback Mountain might be around where he grew up. Knowing Jack, it might be some pretend place, where bluebirds sing and there's a whiskey spring.. :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'(
-
Ma'am, we used to herd sheep together on Brokeback one summer in '63... We was good friends...
-
well, he said it was his favorite place. I thought he meant to get drunk. he drank a lot.
-
His folks still live up on Lightnin' Flat?
-
They'll be there till they die...
-
Get in touch with his folks... I think they'd appreciate it... About the ashes I mean
-
Want a cup a coffee don't you? Piece of cherry cake?
(BTW, I think we missed a line - doesn't Ennis say something about "we was good friends"?)
-
yes, he said - " thank you for you time ma'am, I sure am sorry... we was good friends".
-
Yea, I'll have a cup of coffee, ma'am, but I can't eat no cake right now...
-
I feel awful bad about Jack. Can't begin to tell you how bad. I knew him a long time.
-
I come by to say if you want me to take his ashes up there on brokeback like his wife said he wanted, i'd be proud to.
-
I know where brokeback is...
-
Tell you what, I know where Brokeback Mountain is. Thought he was too goddamned special to go in the family plot
-
Jack used to say, "Ennis Del Mar" he used to say...
-
One of these days, I'll bring him up here and we'll lick this ranch into shape.
-
he got some half baked notion the two of you was gonna move up here, build a cabin, help run the place, then this spring he got another fella to come up here with him, build a place, help run the ranch, some ranch neighbour of his from down in Texas ..
-
he was going to split his wife and move out here...but like all jack ideas never come to pass :\'( :\'( :\'(
-
I kept his room like it was when he was a boy. I think he appreciated that.
-
Ennis said, "Thank you for your time ... I sure am sorry...we was good friends."
Then there's the line in the last ost, then
Thank you, ma'am. I'll take a cup of coffe but I can't eat no cake just now.
-
I kept his room like it was when he was a boy. I think he appreciated that.
You are welcome to go up to his room, if you'd like
:\'( :\'(
-
****for those who like me agree we hear it****
I love you
-
(Oh, I hate this bit....)
Tell you what, we got a family plot, and he's goin' in it
-
Yes sir.....
-
Thank you for this...
-
You come back and see us again
-
Ma'am. Thank you for this
-

-
Yes, Daddy. He loves me.
-
(Now we can have this bit!)
You know what? I reckon they can find themselves another cowboy.
My little girl's gettin' married...

Hey, well done to everyone - we made it through the whole movie O0 What are we gonna do now?
-
[size=14 pt]Congratulations, everyone for finishing the first round of recital. Great job![/size] :cr)
As a rule, please do not post consecutively. Wait for someone to reply and then continue. If a scene is skip, please go back to where it is left.
2nd round
If you pair of deuces are looking for work, I suggest you get your scrawny asses in here, pronto.
-
now up on brokeback, forest service got designated campsites on the allotments.
-
Them camps can be 3-4 miles from where we pasture the woolies. Now what I want . . .
-
( note: you skipped 'bad predator loss if there's nobody looking after 'em at night' )
...is a camp tender in the main camp where the forest service says, but the herder....
-
Is going to pitch a pup tent on the QT
-
Eat supper, breakfast in camp, but you sleep with the sheep
-
100%. No fire, don't leave no sign...
-
no fire, don't leave no sign. you roll up that tent every morning in case forest service snoops around
-
Got your dogs, your 30-30. You sleep with the sheep.
-
last summer I had doddamn near 25% loss. I don't want that again.
-
You. Friday's at noon be down at the jump off with the mules and your next week's list
-
somebody with supplies will be there at the pick up.
-
hello? no. NO. not on your f****** life.
-
Jack Twist
-
Ennis.
-
Your folks stop at Ennis?
(Heh heh - I love that!)
-
Del Mar.
( love THAT one ;) )
-
Nice to know ya, Ennis Del Mar.
-
My second year up here
-
Last year one storm the lightening killed 42 sheep.
-
Thought I'd asphyxiate from the smell
-
Aguirre got all over my ass, like I was supposed to control the weather.
-
But beats working for my old man.
-
Can't please my old man no way.
-
That's why I took to rodeoin'. You ever rodeo?
-
.. you know, once in a while ,,, when I got the entry fee in my pocket.
-
Hmmm. You from ranch people?
-
I was ...
-
YOu folks run you off?
-
more like they run themselves off ..
-
Nuh, they ran themselves off. One curve in 43 miles and they missed it.
-
Sheeit .. that's hard.
-
(we missed a line)
Ennis: Killed them both. Bank took the ranch. Brother and sister rased me, mostly.
-
(thanks for the reminder, Twisted)
Don't let them stray.
-
(thanks for the reminder, Twisted)
(MY BAD!!)
Don't let them stray.
Joe'll have your ass if you d o.
-
Sheeit that's hard.
-
Joel'll have your ass, if you do. (?? )
-
Only thing, don't never order soup.
-
soup boxes as hard to pack!
-
Don't eat soup.
-
You wanna watch it there - that mare's got a low startle point...
-
I doubt there's a filly that can throw me. ;)
-
I doubt there's a filly can throw me. Let's get, unless you want to stand around and tie knots all day.
-
Shit. Can't wait till I got my own spread, won't have to put up with Joe Aguirre's crap no more.
-
I'm saving for a place myself.
-
Me and Alma's getting married after I come down off this mountain.
-
S&*t, that stay with the sheep, no fire bulls*&t. Aguirre's got no right making us doing something against the rules.
-
(I think I said this line before)
No more beans ???
-
Where's the powdered milk and the spuds? (sorry, might have skipped a little)
-
That's all we got.
-
Huh. Well, here's next weeks list
-
Thought you didn't eat soup.
-
Well I'm sick a beans
-
Too early in the summer to be sick of beans.
-
Come back here, you sons-a-bitches!
-
Where in the hell you been?
Been up with the sheep all day, I get down here hungry as hell and all I find is beans!
-
What in hell happened Ennis?
-
Come upon a bear is what happened. Goddamn horse spooked, mules took off, scattered food everywhere. Beans is about all we got left. 'Whiskey 'r sump'n?
-
Well we got to do somethin' 'bout this food situation. Maybe i'll shoot one of the sheep.
-
What if Aguirre finds out? We're supposed to guard the sheep, not eat them.
-
Yeah, well what if Aguirre finds out, huh? S'posed to guard the sheep, not eat 'em.
-
What's the matter with you? There's a thousand of 'em.
-
Yeah, well I'll stick with beans.
-
Well, I won't.
-
Whoo-WEEE! YEAH!!!
-
I was tired of your dumb-ass missin'
-
Was getting tired of your dumb ass missin'.
-
He he he...Let's get a move on...Don't want the Game and Fish to catch us with no elk...
-
I'm commutin' four hours a day. Come in for breakfast, go back to the sheep, evenin' get 'em bedded down, come in for supper, go back to the sheep, spend half the night checkin' for damn coyotes. Aguirre got no right to make me do this.
-
You wanna switch, i wouldn't mind sleeping out there.
-
Ain't the point. Point is, we both ought to be in this camp. And that goddamn pup tent smells like cat piss or worse.
-
Ain't the point. We both ought to be in this camp.
-
Wouldn't mind being out there
-
Happy to switch, but give you warnin', I can't cook worth a damn.
-
Am pretty good with a can opener though...!
-
Can't be no worse than me then.
-
Won't get much sleep, tell you that.
-
Don't get much sleep, tell ya that...
-
Shot a coyote, big son of a bitch, balls on him size a apples. Looked like he could eat a camel. You want some of this hot water?
-
Shit! It's all yours!
-
Don't rodeo much myself. What's the point of ridin' some piece of stock for eight seconds?
-
Money's a good point
-
Sure enough
-
True enough, if you don't get stomped winnin' it.
-
Well, my old man, he was a bull rider...Pretty well known in his day, but kept his secrets to himself. Never taught me a thing, never once come to see me ride.
Your brother and sister do right by you?
-
They did the best they could after my folks was gone, considerin' they didn't leave us nothin' but 24 dollars in a coffee can
-
I got me a year of high school...before the transmission went out on the pickup...
-
Then my sis married a roughneck, moved to Casper
-
Me and my brother, we went and got ourselves some work on a ranch up near Worland, till I was 19...then he got married. And uh, no more room for me, so that's how come uh, me to end up here.
-
What?
-
Friend, that's more words than you spoke in the last two weeks.
-
Hell, it's the most i've spoke in a year.
-
Hell, it's the most i've spoke in a year.
-
And my Dad, he, he was a fine roper...Didn't rodeo much though, he thought rodeo cowboys was all f***-ups.
-
The hell they are!
Yee-haw! Yee-haw! I'm spurrin' his guts out! Wavin' to the girls in the stands! He's kickin' to high-heaven, but he can't dashboard me! No way! Yee-haw!
-
<CRASH!!!>
Looks like my Dad was right! ;D ;D ;D
-
Tent don't look right.
-
Tent don't look right.
-
It ain't goin' nowhere...let it be!
-
That harmonica don't sound quite right.
-
That's because it got kinda flat when that mare threw me.
-
I thought you said that mare couldn't throw you.
-
Well...she got lucky.
-
If I was lucky, that harmonica woulda broke in two.
-
(singing)
I know I shall meet you on that final day. Water walkin' Jesus, take me away
-
Very good...
-
My mama, she believes in the Pentecost.
-
Oh yeah? What exactly is the Pentecost? I mean, my folks...they was Methodist.
-
Well, the Pentecost... I don't know. I don't know what the Pentecost is...Mama never explained it. I guess it's when the world ends and fellas like you and me march off to hell.
-
Speak for yourself -- You may be a sinner but I ain't yet had the opportunity. ^-^
-
Huh, speak for yourself. You may be a sinner but I ain't yet had the opportunity
(Yay! I got to do this line!!!)
EDIT: Damn you justlikethisalways ;) OK then....
(slurs) Well I'm going to go up them sheep now...
-
[Sorry, NoReins! We keep stuttering...gotta get in synch again...here goes]
Ahhh....It's too late to go to them sheep...Hey, you got an extra blanket?
-
You can't hardly stand, it's too late to go to them sheep.
-
Ahhh....It's too late to go to them sheep...Hey, you got an extra blanket?
I could just roll up here an' grab forty winks, head out at first light.
-
Freeze your ass off when that fire dies down...Better off sleepin' in the tent.
-
Ennis!
-
What?
-
Quit yer hammerin' and get in here!
-
What're you doin'?
-
-rustle- -rustle-
-spit-
-whomp- -whomp- -whomp-... >:D
-
hehehe
See you for supper.
-
This is a one-shot thing we got goin' here...
-
Nobody's business but ours.
-
You know I ain't queer.
-
Me neither.
-
It's alright...it's alright.
-
-crackle- -crackle- (campfire)
-shuffle- -rustle- (Ennis entering tent)
-plop- (Jack putting Ennis' hat down)
-pant- -pant-
*kiss*
It's alright...it's alright.
-smooch- -slurp- -smack-.....
-
Twist, your Uncle Harold's in the hospital with pneumonia. Docs don't expect he'll make it. Your Ma sent me to tell you. So here I am.
-
Bad news. But there ain't nothin' I can do about it up here, I guess.
-
Ain't much you can do down there neither. Not unless you can cure pneumonia.
-
-BOOM-
Them sheep'll drift if I don't get back up there tonight!
-
It's alright...it's alright.
-smooch- -slurp- -smack-.....
Lie back. Come on.
-
-BOOM-
Them sheep'll drift if I don't get back up there tonight!
You'll get pitched off your mount in a storm like this, wish you hadn't tried it. Close it up!
-
What're we supposed to do now, hunh?
-
Get on in there...untangle them Chilean sheep from ours I guess.
-
Where is it? Half the goddam paint brands wore off!
-
We gotta try, at least we can get the count right for Aguirre.
-
f*** AGUIRRE!
-
F*ck Aguirre? What if we need to work for him again? We gotta stick this out Jack.
-
You gonna run them sheep off again if you don't quiet down.
-
You'll run the sheep off again if you don't quiet down. ( <^( )
-
What're you doin?
-
Aguirre came by again. Says my uncle didn't die after all. Says bring 'em down.
-
Bring 'em down? It's the middle a August...
-
Says there's another storm comin, movin' in from the Pacific.
-
Worse than this one.
-
That snow barely stuck an hour. Besides, that sonofabitch is cutting us out of a months pay. It aint right!
-
I can spear you a loan, bud, if you're short on cash. Give it to you when we get to Signal
-
I don't need your money, I ain't in the poorhouse.
-
Shit
-
Time to get goin' cowboy.
-
Hey, this ain't no rodeo.
-
Some of these never went up there with you. The count ain't what i'd hoped for neither. You ranch stiffs ain't never no good.
-
You gonna do this again next summer?
-
Maybe not.
-
Like I said, Alma and me's gettin' married in November. Be tryin' to get somethin' on a ranch I guess. You?
-
Might go up to my daddy's place, give him a hand through the winter.
-
I might be back...if the army don't get me.
( :\'( :\'( )
-
Well, see you around, I guess.
-
Well, see you around I guess.
-
Right
-
What the f*ck you lookin' at?
-
Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever. Amen
-
You may kiss the bride. And if you don't, I will.
-
The toboggan scene.
Ennis: you all right?
-
how my girls doin?
-
Christie, are we skipping the scene of Jack and Aguirre? it comes before this one.
-
Aguirre: Well, look what the wind blew in.
-
Hi, Mr. Aguirre. Wondering if you was needin' any help this summer.
-
Wastin' your time here
-
You ain't got nothin'?
-
Nothing up on Brokeback?
-
I ain't got no work for you
-
Ennis Del Mar ain't been around, has he?
-
Twist, you wasn't getting paid to leave the dogs babysit the sheep while you stemmed the rose. Now, get the hell out of my trailer.
-
How the girls doing?
-
Jenny stopped her coughing.
-
*Sound of babies crying---a lot*
-
I think you're jumping ahead Ethan...
all right. Jenny's still got a runny nose.
-
I think you're jumping ahead Ethan...
(Ooops..my apology)
Could you wipe Alma Jr.'s nose?
-
If I had three hands I could!
-
Girls all right?
-
yeah... Jenny stopped her coughin'. I should take the girls into town this weekend, get 'em an ice cream.
-
Ennis, can't we move to town?
-
I'm tired of these lonesome old ranches. No one for Alma Jr. and Jenny to play with, and besides, I'm scared about Jenny, scared if she has one of them bad astma spells.
-
Rents in town are too high.
-
I saw a cheap place in Riverton, over the laundromat. I bet I could fix it up real nice.
-
Bet you could fix this place up real nice if you'd want to.
-
Ennis, I know you'd like it too. a real home, other kids for our girls to play with... not so lonely like you were raised. you don't want it so lonely, do you?
-
not so lonly now is it?
-
You sure the girls are asleep?
-
yeah
-
Come here.
-
...Ennis....
-
Let 'em rip and snort boys! This one'll be quick. Jack Twist, hangin' on for dear life!
-
Oh, and down he goes!
-
Whoa, watch out there fella. He's comin' for ya! Send in the clowns! A fine ride for Mr Twist. Four seconds for him!
-
Give 'em a hand, folks, our very own rodeo clowns!
-
Like to buy Jimbo a beer, best rodeo clown i've ever work with.
-
No thanks, cowboy. If I was to let every rodeo hand I pulled a bull off of buy me liquor I'd been an alcoholic long ago ...
-
Pulling bulls off you buckaroos is just my job. Save your money for your next entry fee cowboy.
-
Ever try calf-roping?
-
Do I look like I could afford a !@#$ roping horse?
-
We should move closer.
-
Let's don't, Jenny will get scared.
-
Here we go, darlin'.
-
Biker:
Woooeee..Look at this growd. There's bound to be lots of pussy on the hoof in growd like this.
-
You fellas wanna keep it down. Got two little girls here.
-
F*ck you!
-
Asshole.
-
... probably stopped putting it to the wife after the kids come. you know how that is...
-
Let's move, Ennis, let's just move....
-
Lindsey, you skipped this one -
I don't wan't no trouble, but you need to shut your slop bucket mouths, you hear me?
-
You oughta listen to your ol' lady, then.
-
(Keren, you're right - skipped the line Diana just did too! Thought it was better if I deleted the post)
You wanna lose half yer f*ckin teeth?
-
Not tonight bud... I sure rather not.
-
(Childress, Texas)
Here she comes, ladies and gentlemen, look at her fly....Miss Lureen Newsome, from right here in Childress, Texas.
-
Oh boy... and her time is... sixteen and nine tenths seconds. Let's give her a big hand!
-
"ma'am?"
-
What a way to make a living! Next up is a new face, Jack Twist from all the way up in Lightning Flat Wyoming. He's on board Sleepy today! let's hope he's not!
-
Oh boy! Let's see what the judges say - that sure looked like the winning ride to me!
-
you know that girl?
-
Sure do. Lureen Newsome.
-
I sure do...that's Lureen Newsome...her dad sells farm equipment...I mean big farm equipment...$100,000 tractors...s**t like that.
-
What're you waitin' for cowboy? The matin' call?
-
"Nobody's going to love you like me"
-
Wait, you don't think I'm too fast do you? Maybe we should put the brakes on?
-
Fast or slow, I just like the direction you're goin'
(Nooooo - Jack, don't....)
-
You ARE in a hurry!
-
My daddy's the hurry. I got to get the car home by midnight. :^^)
-
Hey Monroe
-
Hey Ennis.
-
Where's Alma?
-
She's in the condiments aisle.
-
the wha?
( :8 :8 :8 :8 :8 :8 :8)
-
Uh, ketchup.
-
Thanks.
-
Hi. honey. What're you all doing here?
-
In a big hurry. my boss called, got to run up to the ranch... all the heifers must've decided to culve at the same time. thought I could drop the girls with you.
-
Ennis, I don't get off for another three hours. I got a million things I gotta do.
-
mama, I need paints...
-
Mama, I need Crayolas...
-
( I think it's crayons :) )
Not now Alma
-
Not now Alma. Ennis you said you'd look after them tonight
-
I can't afford to not be there when them heifers calve. Be my job if I lose any of 'em.
-
What about my job?
-
Oh, all right then...I'll call my sister, maybe she can keep 'em till I get off.
-
Alright, alright. Be a good girl for your mama, alright? Er, I'll be half the night, bring home some round steak if you think of it (or if I think of it, not sure which lol)
-
Monroe, I am so sorry.
-
It's ok Alma
-
really it's ok...
-
I'll clean it up soon as I call my sister to come and get the girls.
-
honey, got a surprise for you...
-
Got 2 cases of formula for ya...120 cans
-
120?
-
L.D. Where did you put them?
-
Oh hell, in the back of the car where I left them. Rodeo can get them.
-
Oh, L.D.! I can already see who he looks like.
-
Good job, little girl! He's the spitting image of his grandpa. *^)
-
Isn't he the spittin image of his grandpa?
-
Hey Ennis, you know somebody name a Jack?
-
maybe, why?
-
You got a postcard come General Delivery...
-
Was he someone you cowboyed with?
-
Nah, Jack, he rodeos mostly....We was fishin' buddies.
-
(You're right - I've changed it! Sorry, had "rodeo" on my mind this morning!!)
Ennis, why don't we get a babysitter - take your friend to the Knife and Fork?
-
Jack ain't the restaurant type
-
(You're right - I've changed it! Sorry, had "rodeo" on my mind this morning!!)
Ennis, why don't we get a babysitter - take your friend to the Knife and Fork?
but just wait a min...
before the babysitter thing
is the postcard !! ::)
YOU BET. <^(
-
Jack ain't the restaurant type
We'll probably just go out and get drunk - that's if he shows
(hpv, I didn't realise we were reciting written bits too!)
-
JACK f****g TWIST!!
(sorry I thought.. :s))
-
Ennis! Sonofabitch!
-
later
-
Alma, this here is Jack Twist. Jack, this is my wife, Alma.
(hpv - you missed "Come 'ere" and "Hey")
-
(upps... I'm so obsessed with the nudge that goes before the "later"... ^-^)
howdy
hello
-
(Kids crying)
Oh, you got a kid?
-
Yeah, I got two little girls
-
Alma Jr. and Jenny
-
I got a boy
-
8 months old
-
smiles a lot
-
Married the prettiest li'l gal in Childress, Texas -- Lureen!
-
So me and Jack,we're gonna head out,and get ourselves a drink
-
Shurnuff.
-
pleased to meet you, ma'am
-
Ennis, can you get me a pack a smokes....
-
You need smokes Alma, there's some in the top pocket of my blue shirt, there in the bedroom
-
If you need a somkes, there are over there in the top pocket
of my blue shirt in the bedroom
-
Damn, four years...
-
You need smokes Alma, there's some in the top pocket of my blue shirt, there in the bedroom
haha three times
-
yeah, four years
-
Didn't think I"d hear from you again. I figured you was sore from that punch.
-
That next summer I drove back up to Brokeback, talked to Aguirre 'bout a job. He said you hadn't been back, so I left.
-
Went down to Texas for rodeoin' , and that's how I met Lureen
-
Made $2000 that year bullridin', nearly starved.
-
Made 2000 dollars that year, nearly starved.
-
Lureen's old man make's serious money. Farm machine business. Of course, he hates my guts.
-
Army didn't get you?
-
No. Too busted up.
-
Rodeoin' ain't what it was in my daddy's day.
-
Nope.
-
I got out while I could still walk
-
Swear to God I didn't know we was going to get into this again.
-
Hell, yes I did. Redlined it all the way. Couldn't get here fast enough.
-
What about you?
-
Me? Ahdunno....
:\'(
-
Me? ahdunno. ;)
-
Me? Ahdunno....
Ha ha, great minds think alike...
-
Old Brokeback got us good didn't it.
-
What are we gonna do now?
(Keren - we have to stop doing that!)
-
I doubt there's nothin' we can do.
-
I'm stuck with what I got here
:\'(
-
Makin' a living's about all I got time for now.
-
Hey. Me an Jack's gonna head up into the mountains for a couple a days, do ourselves some fishin'
-
You know, your friend could come inside, have a cup of coffee...we ain't poison or nothin'.
-
(*LOL* three times )
Texans don't drink coffee?
-
You sure that foreman won't fire you for taking off lilke this?
-
That foreman owes me.
-
I worked through a blizzard last Christmas, remember? Besides, I'll only be a couple of days.
-
Bring fish dad, the big ones
-
come here...
see Sunday at the latest
-
S'there anything interesting up there in heaven?
-
Just sendin' up a prayer of thanks.
-
For what?
-
For you forgetting to bring that harmonica! I'm enjoy the peace and quiet (awwwww)
-
You know..it could be like this, just like this always <^( <^(
-
Yeah, and how'd you figure that?
-
What if you and me had a little ranch together somewhere, little cow-and-calf operation?
-
It would be a sweet life.
-
I told you, it ain't gonna be like that. You've got your wife and baby in Texas, and I've got my life in Riverton
-
You and Alma. You call that a life?
-
Is that so? You and Alma, that's a life.
-
You shut up about Alma! This aint her fault.
-
Bottom line, we're around each other and this thing grabs on to us again in the wrong place, wrong time, we'll be dead.
-
I tell you, there was these two old fellas ranched up together down home. Earl and Rich.
-
They was a joke in town, even though they was pretty tough old birds.
-
Well, they found Earl dead in an irrigation ditch.
-
Well, they found Earl dead in an irrigation ditch.
I think we forgot . . .
Earl and Rich.
-
Well, they found Earl dead in an irrigation ditch.

Earl and Rich.
No we didn't - it's two posts above the one you quoted! Anyway....
They'd taken a tire iron to him, spurred him up, drug him round by his dick till it pulled off
-
You seen that?
-
I was what, nine years old? My daddy, he made sure me and my brother seen it. Hell, for all I know, he done the job.
-
Two guys living together? no way. We can get together once in a while way the hell out in the back of nowhere, but...
-
...Once in a while...ever' four fu**in' years!?
-
If you can't fix it, Jack, you gotta stand it.
-
For how long?
-
Long as we can ride it.
-
AIN'T NO REINS ON THIS ONE

Damn, Koka, you stole my line.
-
Supper's on the stove.
-
No one's eatin' unless you're servin' it!
-
I already promised I'd take the extra shift.
-
Well tell him that you made a mistake then!
-
god damn it alma, ALMA!!!!
-
You girls need a push or somethin'?
-
no
-
Didn't that piss-ant used to ride the bulls?
-
He used to try.
-
honey, you seen my blue parka?
-
Last time I seen it you was in it...that day we had that big ice storm.
-
Coulda sworn I had seen it in here
-
You know, you been going up to Wyoming all these years. Why can't your buddy come down here to Texas and fish?
-
Because the Big Horn mountains aren't in Texas.
-
and I don't think Ennis' pick-up could make it down here anyway
-
I gotta get..., got 14 hours of drivin ahead of me ;D
-
Still don't seem fair, you drivin' up there two or three times a year, him never comin' here....
-
So all this time you never found anyone else to marry?
-
I've been pulling the blocks on a good looking little gal in Riverton (?)
-
Says she wants to go to nursin' school or somethin'.... I don't know....
-
What about you and Lureen?
-
Lureen's good at making hard deals in the machinery business, but as far as our marriage goes, we could do it over the phone.
-
Kinda got this thing goin' with a ranch foremans wife..over in Childress
-
Expect to get shot by Lureen or the husband every time I slip off to see her.
-
You probably deserve it.
-
Tell you what... Truth is sometimes I miss you so much I can hardly stand it.
-
Tell you what...............truth is, (I'm dying here) sometimes miss you so bad I can hardly stand it................... (oh s**t! it hurts!)
-
Tell you what... Truth is sometimes I miss you so much I can hardly stand it.
Got me girl! I was so busy crying! LOL

Guess I'll go up to Lightening Flat. See the folks for a day or two.

Somethin' I been meanin' to tell you, bud.

It's likely November before I can get away again, after we ship stock and before the winter feeding starts.
-
It's likely November before I can come out here again.
-
November? Well what ever happened to August?
-
Christ Ennis you had a f**kin' week to say some little word about this.
-
Jack! I gotta work! Not like in them earlier days, where I can just quit....
-
You forget how it is bein' broke all the time. You ever heard of child support?
-
Well, let me tell you, I can't quit this one. And I can't get the time off.
(BTW - we missed about half an hour of the movie. No divorce scene, no Cassie, no Randall.....)
-
Was tough enough gettin' this time. The trade off was August.
-
You got a better idea?
:\'(
-
I did, once.
-
(BTW - we missed about half an hour of the movie. No divorce scene, no Cassie, no Randall.....)
Maybe we should continue here, then:
You be good for your mama.
-
Still don't seem fair, you drivin' up there two or three times a year, him never comin' here....
OMG fom this qoute to the next:
So all this time you never found anyone else to marry?
we missed about 25 min. of the film!!!
-
so ii'l fill up...a little from :
Ennis,they got an openin' at the power company,might be a good pay
-
Well,if they're as clumsy as I am,probably get electrocuted
-
Hey,dady the church picnic's next weekend
-
Will you be back fishin' by next weekend?
please,daddy,please!!!
-
Aww , all right,as long as I do'nt have to sing :)

-
Its Saturday night, you know we could still smarten up
and head on over to the church social
-
That fire-and-brimstone crowd?
-
I'd think it'd be nice
-
As far behind as we are on the bills, it makes me nervous not to take no precautions...

-
This is Jack. Jack these are my little girls,this here's Alma jr. and Jenny
-
Your card said the divorce came through. So...here I am.
-
I had to ask about 10 different people on Riverton
where you'd moved to

-
Stud duck do the carvin' around here

-
whatever you say L.D. just wanted to save you the trouble.
-
Bobby, if you don't eat your dinner, I'm gonna have to turn off that television.
-
but why mama? I'm gonna be eating this for the next two weeks!
-
Hey , you heard your mama
-
You can eat your dinner. Then you can watch the game.
-
Daddy. Daddy?
-
Hell, we don't eat with our eyes.
-
(there's an echo in here!)
You want your son to grow up to be a man, don't you daughter?
-
Boys should watch football
-
Not until he's eaten the meal his mama spent 3 hours preparin'
-
You sit down you old sonnofabitch! :X :X :X
-
This is my house,this is my child and you are my guest!
-
you sit down before I knock your ignorant ass into next week!
-
Daddy, tell about when you rode broncs in the rodeo
-
well, that's a short story honey. only about three seconds I was on that bronc, an' the next thing I knew I was flying through the air...
-
....I didn't have no wings
-
Only I was no angel like you and Jenny, here
-
And that's the story of my saddle bronc career
-
You ought to get married again Ennis. Me and the girls worry 'bout you bein' alone so much.
-
Ummh. Well, once burned...
-
You still go fishin' with Jack Twist?
-
Not often.
-
You know, I used to wonder why you never brought any trouts home.
-
you always said you caught plenty, and you know how me and the girls like fish.
-
So one night I got your creel case open the night before you went on one of your little trips, price tag still on it after 5 years- and I tied a note to the end of the line.
-
It said 'hello Ennis, bring some fish home, love, Alma'.
-
...And then you come back lookin' all perky and said you'd caught a bunch a browns and ate them up. Do you remember?
-
I looked in the case first chance I got and there was my note still tied there.
-
That don't mean nothin', Alma.
-
Don't try and fool me no more Ennis, I know what it means
-
Jack Twist, Jack Nasty. Go didn't go up there to fish.
-
Now you listen to me -- you don't know nothin' about it
-
I'm gonna yell for Monroe
-
I'm goin' to yell for Monroe!
-
I'll make him eat the f--kin floor -- and you too!
-
Get out of my house Ennis Del Mar, you hear me?! get out!!
-
Daddy!
-
Bye daddy
-
Hey asshole, watch where you're goin'!
-
You stupid f--k!
Goddam! @#$5 !$#& *#@$!!
-
****
All I'm saying is, what's the point of making it? If the taxes don't get it, the inflation eats it up.
-
You should see Lureen, punchin numbers into her addin' machine...
-
Huntin' for extra zeros, her eyes gettin' smaller and smaller...
-
It's like watchin a rabbit tryin to squeeze into a snakehole with a coyote on its tail

High-class entertainment.

For what it's worth
-
Lureen. You and her, it's normal and all?
-
do you ever get the feeling, when you're in town, and people look at you, suspiciouslly, like they know?
-
then you go out on the pavement and everyone's lookin at ya like they all know too?
-
well maybe you should get out of there, you know? find yourself some place different, maybe Texas.
-
Texas? Sure, and maybe you can convince Alma to let you and Lureen adopt the girls.
-
Texas...yea, and maybe you could convince Alma to let you and Lureen adopt the girls, and we could all live together herding sheep, and it'll rain money from L D Newsome, and whiskey'll flow in the streams...
-
Aw go to hell Ennis del Mar. You want to live your miserable f*ckin' life then go ahead. I was just thinkin' out loud.
-
Yep, you're a real thinker there. G-ddamn..! Jack f--kin Twist, he's got it all figgered out ain't he...
-
I just finished my shift. Wanna dance?
-
Uh, I was just leavin...
-
I'm Cassie- Cassie Cartwright.
-
Ennis Del Mar.
-
No more dancing for me, I hope.
-
You're safe. My feet hurt.
-
hard work, is it?
-
Yeah, drunks like you demanding beer after beer, smoking. Gets tiresome.
-
Yeah, drunks like you demanding beer after beer, smoking. Gets tiresome.
-
What do you do Ennis Del Mar?
-
Well, earlier today I was castrating calves . . . .
-
What are you doing?
-
Trying to get , a foot rub , dummy
-
awright..
-
Pledged Tri Delt at SMU and I sure never thought I'd end up in a pokey little place like Childress, but then I met Randall at an Aggie game, and he was an animal husbandry major, and we been here a month, he got the foreman job over at Roy Taylor's ranch. Like it or not, here I am!
-
Was you Tri-Delt? I was Kappa-Phi myself
-
Well, even if we ain't sorority sisters we might just have to dance with ourselves, Lureen
(Sorry if it's not exactly accurate, I'm quoting from memory)
-
Our husbands ain't in the least bit interested in dancing! Ain't got a smidgeon of rhythm between em
-
Our husbands ain't the least bit interested in dancin', they don't seem to have a smidgin of rhythm between 'em.
(God, I hate Lashawn...)
-
I'ts funny is'nt husbands don't never seem to want to dance with their wives
-
Why do you think that is Jack?
-
I never gave that theory any thought
-
Wanna dance?
-
Yes , thank you
-
(to Randal) D'ya mind?
-
No,no problem
-
Thank you for asking to dance with me, I really appreciate that, I really do.
-
Randall never does
-
It's a good thing that you and Lureen happened along when you did, or else we'd still be stuck on the side of the road in that dern pickup.
-
I told Randall we oughta take the car, 'course he don't ever listen to me. He wouldn't listen to me if he was goin' deaf tomorrow. I told Randall it takes more than chewing gum and baling wire to keep a pickup goin'.
-
Well,he's never been very mechanical, though
OT(she is a nag isn't she) :s)
-
Ever notice how a woman'll powder her nose before a party starts, and then powder it again when the party's over?
-
Why powder your nose just to go home and go to bed?
-
Don't know. (as if the vanity of women is a tiresome subject)
(OT: I'm also powdering ;D)
-
Even if I wanted to know, I couldn't get a word in
with Lashawn long enough to ask :)
-
Woman talks a blue streak.
-
A lively little gal
-
You'll like working for Roy Taylor. He's solid.
-
Oh yeah, Roy, he's a good old boy
-
He's got a little cabin down on Lake Kemp. Got a croppie house...little boat. Said I can use it whenever I want.
-
We oughta go down there some weekend
-
Drink a little whiskey, fish some. Get away, you know?
-
When I was right out of SMU I coulda had my pick of pretty much any job in N.Dallas
(uff)
-
so my pick was Neiman Marcus which was a disaster because where clothes is concerned, honey, I got no resistance
-
I was spending more than I made
-
more probably than Randall ever will make
-
We come out here thinking ranchin' was still big hats and Marlboros
-
Boy, were we behind the times.
-
Hey there Jr. you ready?
-
So what do you think? your daddy ever gonna see fit to settle down again?
-
I don't know
-
maybe he's not the marrying kind
-
You don't think so?
-
or you don't think I'm the one for him?
-
You're good enough
-
You don't talk much but you get your point across.
-
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be rude.
-
Ehmm..hi
-
C'mon, cowboy, you're staying on your feet.
-
Excuse me darlin'..
-
So, I'll pick you and Jenny up on Sunday after church
-
Fine
-
Everything alright?
-
Yes
-
Sure?
-
are you sure?
-
Daddy. I was thinking, what with the new baby and all...Ma and Monroe, they've been awful strict on me.
-
More on me than Jenny even.
-
I was thinking, maybe I could...maybe I could come stay with you, Daddy...I'd be a big help to you, I know I would.
-
Well, I...you know I ain't set up for that.
-
With the round up comin' I won't ever be home
-
That's all right, Daddy... :-(
-
Well'you know I'm not sayin' I wouldn't...
-
That's all right, I understand...
-
See you next Sunday, then.
-
Bye.
-
Bye, sweetheart
-
It's gonna snow tonight for sure.
-
Yep
-
All this time, you ain't found no-one else to marry?
-
I been putting the blocks to a pretty little gal out in Riverton.... Says she wants to go to nursin' school sor somethin'
-
What about you & Lureen?
-
Lureen's good at managin' the business, but as far as our marriage goes... we could do it over the phone.
-
Kind of got this thing going with the ranch foreman's wife over in Childress
-
I keep expecting to get shot by Lureen or the husband every time I slip off to see her...

There's been something I've been meaning to tell you...
-
It's likely November before I can get away again
(Ennis countdown...2 more posts....)
-
After we ship stock and before winter feeding starts.
(Lins, you're about to be Ennised!! you should go to the oh baby thread and do it there!!!)
-
November? What in the hell happened to August? Christ Ennis, you had a godamned week to say somethin' about this
(Ennis countdown...1 more post...off to the Oh Baby thread to do it in style!)
-
And why's it we're always in the friggin' cold? we oughta go south, where it's warm. we oughta go to Mexico!
-
Mexico Jack? you know that i ain't the travelin' kind
-
Hell... you know me. 'bout all the travelling I ever done is goin' around the coffeepot lookin' for the handle.
-
Lighten up on me, Jack. We can hunt in November, kill a nice elk.
-
Try if I can get Don Wroe's cabin again. We had a good time that year, didn't we?
-
Never enough time, never enough.
-
You know friend, this is a goddamn bitch of an unsatisfactory situation. You used to come away easy, now it's like seein' the Pope.
-
You know, friend, this is a GD bitch of an unsatisfactory situation here. You used to come away easy and now it's like seeing the pope.
-
Jack, I gotta work, huh. in them earlier days I'd just quit the job. you forget what it's like being broke all the time.
-
You ever hear of child support? Let me tell you, I can't quit this one. And I can't get the time off.
-
Was tough enough gettin' this time. the trade off was August.
-
You got a better idea?
-
I did once.
:\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'(
-
You been to Mexico, Jack? I heard about what they got in Mexico for boys like you.
-
Hell yes I've been to Mexico. Is that a fu**in' problem?
-
( you skipped: 'you did once?' )
Hell yes I've been to Mexico. Is that a f****** problem?
-
I'll tell you this one time Jack f*ckin' Twist, and I ain't foolin. What I don't know...all them things I don't know...could get you killed if I should come to know them. And I ain't jokin'
-
oh yeah. well listen to this and I'll say it just once. we could have had a good life Ennis, a f***** real good life. but you didn't want it ennis, so all we got now is BROKEBACK MOUNTAIn. that's all we got boy, f***** all. so hope you know that if you don't ever know the rest.
-
You count the damn few times we been together in nearly twenty years an' you measure the short f*ckin' leash you keep me on, then you ask me about Mexico and you tell me you'll kill me for needin' somethin' I don't hardly never get...
:\'( :\'(

You have no idea how bad it gets. I'm not you.I can't make it on a coupla high altitude f's once or twice a year.

It's because of you, Jack, that I'm like this. I'm nothing. I'm nowhere.

I can't stand this no more Jack.

It's all right. Damn you Ennis. :\'(

Now you're sleeping on your feet like a horse again.

I got to go.

Here and there

Yeah, well, good for me.

I'm sorry.

Oh, Ennis...girls don't fall in love with fun!

*ring*
Hello?
-
Hello, this is Ennis del Mar
-
Who? Who is this?
-
Ennis del Mar. I'm an old buddy of Jack's, I. . . .
-
Jack used to mention you. You're the fishin buddy, or the huntin buddy, I know that
-
Woulda let you know what happened,but I wasn't sure about your name or address
-
Jack kept all his friends' addresses in his head
-
Why I was callin', to see what happened....
-
Ohh, yeahh
-
Jack was pumpin up a flat on the truck out on a back road when the tire blew up
-
The rim of the tire slammed into his face broke nose and jaw....
-
...and knocked him unconscious on his back.
-
By the time somebody came along, he had drowned in his own blood.
-
He was only thirty nine years old.
-
Hello? Hello? Hello!
-
He buried down there?
-
We put a stone up.
-
He was cremated like he wanted
-
Half his ashes was interred here.
-
The rest I sent up with his folks. He used to say he wanted his ashes scattered on Brokeback Mountain, but I wasn't sure where that was.
-
I thought it might be where he grew up.
-
But knowing Jack, it might be some pretend place where the bluebirds sing and there's a whiskey spring.
-
No ma'am...we herded sheep up on Brokeback back in 1963
:\'( :\'( :\'( :\'(
-
Well he said it was his favorite place. I thought he meant to get drunk.
-
He drank a lot.
-
His folks still up in Lightening Flat?
-
They'll be there til the day they die.
-
Thanks for your time then.. I sure am sorry. We was good friends. :\'(
-
Get in touch with his folks. I think they'd appreciate it... About the ashes I mean.
-
Want a cup of coffeee. don't you? Piece of cherry cake?
-
Thank you ma'am. I'll take a cup of coffee, but I can't eat no cake just now... :\'(
-
Thank you..
-
I feel awful bad about Jack. I can't begin to tell you how bad I feel. I knew him a long time.
-
I come to say...if you want me to take his ashes up there
on Brokeback...like his wife said he wanted to...
-
I'd be proud to.
-
Tell you what. I know where Brokeback Mountain is. He thought he was too goddamn special to be buried in the family plot.
-
Jack used to say..Ennis Del Mar he used to say... :X
-
I'm gonna bring him up here one o' these days and we'll lick this damn ranch into shape.
-
He had some half-baked notion the two of you was gonna move up here... :X
-
build a cabin, help run the ranch...
-
Then this spring..he got another fella gonna come up here with him.
-
Build a place, help run the ranch...some ranch neighbor a his from down in Texas
Gonna split up with his wife and move back here...or so he says...but like most a Jack's ideas...it never come to pass
-
I kept his room like it was when he was a boy. I think he appreciated that. You are welcome to go up to his room, if you'd like.
-
Yeah, I'd like that. Thank you.
-
(OK, I know not everyone heard it but I did so.....)
(whispered) I love you
-
Tell ya what...we got a family plot...he's goin in it.
-
yessir :\'(
-
You come back and see us again
-
Hey there, Junior!
-
Hey, Daddy!
Like the car?
-
Yeah, is it yours?
-
Kurt's.
-
Well,I thought you was seein' ..uh, Troy?
-
Troy?? Daddy, that was two years ago!
-
Troy still playin' baseball?
-
I don't know what he's doing, I'm seeing Kurt now...
-
Well,what does Kurt do?
-
Works out in the oil fields.
-
So he's a roughneck, huh?
-
Uhhuh, yeah!
-
I guess you're 19 , you can do whatever you want,is that right?
-
Sure!
-
Daddy, you need more furniture
-
Yeah, well, you got nothin' you don't need nothin'...
-
So,what the occasion?
-
Me and Kurt -- we're gettin' married.
-
Well ,how long you know this guy for?
-
'Bout a year... The wedding'll be June 5th at the Methodist Church.
-
Jenny'll be singin' and Monroe's gonna cater the reception
-
Was hopin' you'd be there
-
Unh, this Kurt fella -- He loves you?
-
Yeah, daddy he loves me
-
Was hopin' you'd be there
;)
-
I think I'm supposed to be on the round-up down near the Tetons
-
Y'know what? I reckon they can find themselves a new cowboy.
-
My little girl is gettin' married
-
...hunh? To Alma and Kurt.
-
Jack....I swear.....
:\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'(
-
He...was a friend of mine...
-
And from the beginning again.
If you pair of deuces are looking for work, i suggest you get you scrawny asses in here, pronto.
-
Forest service has designated campsites on the allotments.
-
Them camps can be 3, 4 miles from where we pasture the woollies.
-
Bad predator loss if there's nobody lookin' after them at night.
-
Now what i want is the camp tender in the main camp where the Forest Service says...
-
. . . but the herder pitches a pup tent on the QT with the sheep, and he's gonna sleep there.
-
but the herder.. pitch a pup tent on the QT with the sheep and he's going to sleep there.
-
Eat your supper, breakfast in camp, but you sleep with the sheep, hundred percent, no fire, dont leave no sign.
-
You roll up that tent every morning in case the forest service snoops around.
-
Aguirre on the phone.
Yeah? No. No. Not on your fu**in life.
-
You got your dogs, your 30/30, sleep there.
-
Last summer i had goddam near 25% loss. I don't want that again.
-
You - Fridays at noon be down at the bridge with your grocery list and mules.
-
Somebody with supplies will be there at the pickup.
-
Jack Twist
(BTW - I can't believe we're on our third complete run through here. Wonder if we'll manage to get all the scenes in the right order this time? ;))
-
We missed a line:
Aguirre: Tommorow morning we'll truck you up to the jump-off.
Then comes Jack Twist.
-
Jack Twist
Ennis.
-
Your folks stop at Ennis?
(Oops - can't believe I missed that line, especially after my comment above ::) ~))
-
del Mar...
-
Nice to know you, Ennis del Mar
-
My second year up here.
(No harm done, NoReins :) )
-
Last year in one storm the lightning killed 42 sheep.
-
Thought I'd asphyxiate from the smell.
-
You do any rodeoin'?
-
Every once in a while, when I got the entry fee in my pocket.
-
you come from ranch people?
-
I was.
-
Your folks run you off?
-
They run themselves off.
-
one curve in the road in 43 miles and they miss it. Killed em both.
-
Bank took the ranch. Brother and sister raised me mostly.
-
Shiit. That's hard.
-
Only things, don't never order soup, them soup boxes are hard to pack.
-
Don't eat soup.
-
That horse looks like it's got a low startle point.
-
I doubt there's a filly that can throw me.
-
Let's get, 'less you wanna stand around and tie knots all day.
-
Shit. Can't wait until I get my own spread, won't have to put up with Joe Aguirre's crap no more.
-
I'm savin' for a place myself.
-
Me and Alma, we'll be gettin' married when I come down off the mountain.
-
Shit, that stay with the sheep no fire bullshit?
-
Aguirre's got no right makin' us do somethin' against the rules.
-
Aguirre's got no right making us do something against the rules.
-
No more beans. :)
-
(Jack misses the coyote) (shit) Dammit!
-
Basque: Something wrong?
-
where's the powdered milk and spuds?
-
That's all we got.
-
well..... here's next week's
-
Thought you didn't eat soup.
-
Yeah .Well I'm sick of beans
-
It's too early in the summer to be sick of beans.
-
Where the hell you been? I get back here hungry as hell and all I find is beans... :X ^*)
-
What in Hell happened, Ennis?
-
Came on a bear's what happened. Horse spooked, mules took off and scattered all the food. Beans is about all we got left.
-
you got whisky or somethin'?
-
Well, we got to do something about this food situation.
-
Maybe I'll shoot one of the sheep.
-
What if Aguirre finds out? We're supposed to guard the sheep, not eat them.
-
What's the matter with you? There's a thousand of them.
-
I'll stick with beans.
-
Well, I won't
-
Whoo wee! Yeah!
-
Was gettin' tired of your dumb ass missin'
-
better hurry. don't want the forrest service catch us with the elk.
-
I'm commutin' 4 hours a day.
-
I come in for breakfast,I go back to the sheep
-
Come back for supper, go back to the sheep, get them bedded down. I'm up half the nght looking for damn coyotes. Aguirre got no right making me do this.
-
If you wanna switch,I would'nt mind sleepin' out there
-
That's not the point. We both should be in this camp.
-
That goddam pup tent smells like cat piss, or worse
-
Wouldn't mind bein' out there
-
Well,I'm happy to switch with you ,but I warn you ,I can't cook worth a damn
-
I am pretty good with a can opener though
-
Well you can't be no worse than me ,then.
-
You won't get much sleep, I'll tell you that...
-
Don't do much rodeoin' myself. What's the point of ridin' some piece of stock for 8 seconds?
-
Money's a good point.
-
Sure enough...
(did we miss a scene here with the coyote bit, or is that later?)
-
If you don't get stomped winning it.
-
Sure enough...
(did we miss a scene here with the coyote bit, or is that later?)
yes we did
I saw coyote up there a big son of a bitch balls on him the size of apples
looked like he could eat himself a camel
-

Yep, followed by:
You want some of this hot water?
-
Uhhh,damn iit's all yours
-
(Buckle click)
I don't rodeo much myself,
What's the point of ridin' some piece of stock for 8 seconds?
Money's a good point.
-
Uh-huh
If you don't get stomped winnin' it.
-
My old man was a bullrider, pretty well knowed his day, though he kept his secrets to himself.
-
Ole Brokeback got us good, don't it?
-
Ole Brokeback got us good, don't it?
We got ahead here:
Never taught me a thing. Never once come to see me ride.
-
Your brother and sister do right by you?
-
they did the best they could after my folks was gone.
-
Considerin' they didn't leave us nothing but 24$ in a coffee can.
-
Got me a year a high school, before the transmission went on the pickup
(damn - I stuffed it up again back there....sorry %&))
-
My sis left, married a roughneck, moved to Casper.
-
They got me a year of high school..that was before the transmision went
on the pickup
-
Then my brother and me got us some work on a ranch near Warland.
-
Then he got married and there was no room for me. So that's how come...me ended up here.
-
What?
-
What? ???
-
Friend, that's the most you've spoken in two weeks.
-
hell, thats the most I've spoke in a year.
-
Hell it's the most i've spoke in a year.
-
My dad now, he was a fine roper.
-
Didn't rodeo much though - he thought rodeo cowboys was all f*ck ups.
-
The hell they are.
-
Yeeeeeee-haw! I'm spurring his guts out, wavin' to the girls in the stand...
-
He's kickin' to the high heaven, but he can't dashboard me. No way. Yeee-haaaw.
-
(Jack falls over, Ennis smiles and laughs <^()
I think my dad was right
-
Tent don't look right.
-
I think my dad was right.
-
Tent don't look right.
It ain't goin' nowhere, let it be... ::)
-
that harmonica dont sound quite right either.
-
That's cause it got kinda flattened when that mare threw me.
-
I thought you said that mare couldn't throw you?
-
She got lucky.
-
yea? If I got lucky, that harmonica would have broke in two.
-
I KNOW I SHALL MEET YOU ON THAT FINAL DAY.
WATER WALKING JESUS, TAKE ME AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY.
( Man, I was so waiting for that line ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D <^( )
-
Very Good.
-
You know my mom, she believes in the pentacost.
-
Yeah? Exactly what is the pentecost? I mean my folks was methodist.
-
The pentacost....I don't know, I don't know what the pentacost is. mom never explained it to me. I guess it means, when the world ends and guys like you and me march off to hell.
-
Uh uh, speak for yourself. You maybe a sinner, but i ain't yet had the opportunity.
-
it's too late, to go up to them sheep.
-
You got an extra blanket, I'll roll up out here and grab 40 winks.
-
It'd be better if you sleep in the tent.. You'll freeze your ass off when the fire dies down...
-
Ennis!
-
Quit yer hammerin' and get in here! >:D ^-^
-
What're you doin?
-
f**k me, f**k me! (for those who heard it...) ;D :d)
-
see you for supper
-
This is a one-shot thing we got goin on here.
-
It's nobody's business but ours (Love this phrase! )
-
You know I ain't queer.
-
Me neither
-
It's alright, it's alright. It's alright.
-
It's alright, it's alright. It's alright.
I think it was:
I'm sorry :^^) it's alright , it's alright %) (for those who heard) <^( sigh
ooooooooooohhhh how I love that scene <^(
-
Twist, your uncle Harold's in the hospital with pneumonia. Doc dont expect he'll make it. Your ma sent me to tell you, so here I am...
-
Bad news
-
But there ain't nothin I can do about it up here, I guess
-
Ain't nothin' you can do about it down there neither - less you can cure pneumonia.
-
Them sheep'll drift if I don't get back up there tonight
-
You'll get pitched off your horse if you go out there...and wish you hadn't tried. Close it up.
(OT - just realised, this scene is their TNIT.....)
-
What're we s'posed to do now, hunh?
-
untangle them shel-ay-an sheep outta ours i guess
-
Goddamn paint brands wore off
-
at least we gotta get the count right for Aguirre
-
F*CK AGUIRRE
(Yeeha - I really wanted to do this line!)
-
oh yea, F**ck Aguirre....what if we have to work for him again, huh? We gotta stick this out Jack
(Lindsey - I can tell you really enjoyed that last line! :8)
-
Run them sheep off again if you don't quiet down
-
aguirre came by again, see my uncle didnt die after all....he said bring em down.
-
Bring 'em down? It's the middle of August..
-
says theres another storm coming, moving in from the pacific.
-
Worse than this one
-
But that snow barely stuck an hour, huh?
-
besides, that sonofab*tch is cutting us out of a months pay, it aint right
-
Well,Id spare you a loan but I'm short on cash
-
( actually it's: I'll spare you a loan bud if you're short on cash )
give it to you when we get in Signal.
-
I dont need your money, huh? I aint in the poor house
-
allright.
-
Come on cowboy, time to get goin'
-
This ain't no rodeo cowboy!
-
Ennis, come here. It's alright....
-
some of these didnt go up with you.
-
Count ain't what I'd hoped for neither. You ranch stiffs; you ain't never no good.
-
Give it some gas.
-
We missed a line.
Ennis: Can't believe i left my shirt up there.
-
No. You gonna do this again next summer?
:\'( :\'(
-
Maybe not. Like I said, alma and me's getting married.
-
In November
-
Probably try to get work on a ranch or somethin'. You?
-
I might go up to my daddy's place, give'm a hand through the winter. I might be back....if the army don't get me.
-
Well, see you around i guess.
-
Right
-
What the f*ck're you lookin' at?
-
. . . and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
-
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
-
for thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, forever. Amen.
-
You may kiss the bride... If you don't, I will
-
aaaaa, wooooou, no, please don't.
-
You all right?
Stop! No,you stop!
-
"knock knock", YEA? Hi Mr. Aguirre
-
"knock knock", YEA? Hi Mr. Aguirre
You missed
"My old lady's trying to get me to quit this job,she says I get too old breaking my back shovellin' asphalt, I told her ,strong backs and weak mind runs in the family ... :) I told her it keeps me fit"
and we continue:
"knock knock", YEA? Hi Mr. Aguirre
-

-
Was wonderin' if you needed any help this summer?
-
(well... excuuuuuuuuuseee me ;) ;) ;D )
Now look what the wind blew in...

-
Well, look what the wind blew in.
-
you skipped: you ain't got nothing? nothing up on brokeback?

You boys sure found a way to make the time pass up there...
-
Twist, you weren't hired to let the dogs babysit the sheep while you ( two ) stem the rose
( I love this line, always wanted to say it :D :D :D )
-

-
How my girls doin?
-
Jenny still has a runny nose
-
Could you wipe Alma Jr's nose?!
-

-
Girls all right?
-
(we missed a piece)
Jenny stopped her coughing.
-
Maybe I should take the girls into town this weekend, buy them an ice cream
-
ennis, can't we move to town?
-
Rent in town is too high.
-
There's a place above a laundromat in Riverton that I can fix up real nice...
-
Bet you could fix this place up real nice if you wanted to.
-
Ennis, I know you'd like it too. A real home.
-
Other kids for the girls to play with.
-
not so lonely like you were raised :\'(
-
You don't want it so lonely, do you?
-

-
This ain't so lonely now, is it?

-
ooops, just realised I skipped:
'give it up for our very own rodeo clowns'
-
I'd like to buy Jimbo here a bear. Best rodeo clown I've ever worked with.
-
if I let every cowboy I saved buy me a beer ( drink? ), I would have been an alcoholic long ago.
( darn, I know that's not how it goes, but I can't seem to remember the first part of the line....somebody help me out here. oh well, I reckon I can settle with close enough ;D )
-
Save your money for your next entry fee, cowboy.

All of the heifers must have decided to calve at the same time.
-
Ennis, I don't get off for another three hours. There's s million things I gotta do.

If I'm not there when the heifer's calf, it could mean my job"
-
What about my job?
-

-
Ennis, you know somebody name a Jack?
-
Maybe....why?
-
You got a postcard. It came in general delivery.

-
No, Jack rodeos mostly. We was fishin' buddies.
-
YOU BET!
<^(
-
Ennis, maybe we could get a babysitter. Take your friend to the Knife and Fork?
-
Jack ain't the restaurant type. We're more likely to go out and get drunk. If he shows...

You want smokes Alam they're in the pocket of my blue shirt.

Damn. Four years.

Four years. I didn't think i'd hear from you. Figured you were sore about the punch.
-
The next summer I drove back up to Brokeback and talked to Aguirre about a job.
-
Told me you hadn't been back there, so I left. Headed down to Texas for rodeoin'
-
How I met Lureen. Made $2,000 that year bullriding, nearly starved.

Lureen's old man got some serious money, farm machine business.

Swear to God, I didn't know we was going to get into this again.
-
Hell yes I did. Redlined it all the way here couldn't get here fast enough.
-
What about you?
-
Me? I don't know.
-
Old Brokeback got us good don't it?
-
So what're gonna do now?
-
I doubt there's nothing we can do.
-
I'm stuck with what I got here.
-
Makin' a living is about all I got time for now.
-
Me and Jack heading up to the mountains for a day or two. Do a little fishin'.
-
You know your friend could come inside- have a cup of coffee.
-
He's from Texas.
-
Texans don't drink coffee? %(
-
You sure that foreman won't fire you for taking off?
-
That foreman owes me. I worked thru a blizzard last year remember?
-
That foreman owes me. I worked trough a blizzard last Christmass, remember? Besides, I'll be onlly a couple of days.
-
Bring me a fish daddy, a big fish.
-
Come here. See you sunday latest.
-
I'm starved. Want to get something to eat? (sorry, not in screenplay!)
-
Last one in...!
-
Anything interesting up there in heaven?
-
I was just sending up a prayer of thanks. :-\\
-
For what?
-
For you forgettin' to bring that harmonica. I'm enjoyin' the peace and quiet.
-
You know it could be like this, just like this always. :\'(
-
Yeah? How you figured that? :-\\ :\'(
-
What if you an me had us a little ranch together somewhere, a little cow and calf operation. It'd be a sweet life. :\'(
-
Hell, Lureen's old man, you bet he'd give me a downpayment it I'd get lost. Already more of less said it......
-
Told you it ain't gonna be that way. :(
-
Now we can get together once in a while...in the middle of nowhere.
-
Every four f**king years???
-
If you can't fix it, Jack, you gotta stand it.
-
Told you it ain't gonna be that way. :(
(Hey, we missed a fairly important bit there....taking it from LJNs line above)
You know, you got your wife and baby in Texas an', you know, I got my life in Riverton
-
Is that so? You and Alma that's a life?
-
you shut up about Alma, this aint her fault.
-
Bottom line is, we're around each other this thing grabs on to us again in the wrong place, wrong time, and we're be dead.
-
There was these two old guys ranched together down home, Earl and Rich.
-
They was a joke in town, even though they was pretty tough old birds.
-
They found Earl dead in a irrigation ditch.
-
They'd took a tire iron to him, spurred him up, drug him around by his dick till it pulled off...
-
You seen that?
-
I was what, nine years old? My dad, he made sure me and my brother seen it.
-
Hell, for all i know, he done the job.
-
Two guys livin' together? No way.
-
now we can get together every once in a while way out in the middle of nowhwere.
-
Once in while...every four f*ckin years?
-
if you cant fix it Jack you've gotta stand it.
-
For how long?
-
For as long as we can ride it.
-
Ain't no reins on this one
:\'( :\'( :\'( :\'(
-
Where the hell do you think you're going?
(Lindsey....so glad you got to say that line, sad as it is). ;D
-
I'm going to work
-
What about supper? (I think)
-
Supper is on the stove
-
No one's eatin' it unless you're servin' it!
-
I already promised I'd take the extra shift
-
Well cancel it! Goddamn Alma....
-
ALMA!!!!!
-
you girls need a push or somethin?
-
noooooooo....
( love that line <^( )
-
Didn't that pissant used to ride the bulls? <not sure if this was the next scene>
-
well actually, there's a line before that....Jack says something like:
you won't get that with you caddy(?). I told you what she can do, now let me show ya!
-
Following on from this (which came after Koka's line)
Didn't that pissant used to ride the bulls? <not sure if this was the next scene>
He used to try...
-
Honey, you seen my blue parka?
-
last time I seen it you was in it
-
Time we had that ice storm.
-
Well, I could've sworn I left it here.
-
You know, you're been going up to Wyoming all these years.
-
why cant your buddy come down to Texas and fish.
-
Because the Bighorn Mountains ain't in Texas.
-
Besides I don't think ENnis pick up could make it all the way here ( I LOOOOOVE THIS LINE )
-
Well, new model's comin' in this week and you're the best combine salesman we got.
-
you're the only combine salesman we got.
-
Well, I'll be back in a week. That is, unless I freeze to death. Which I will do if I don't find that parka.
-
You know, you're worse than Bobby when it comes to losin' things...
-
speaking about bobby did you called the school and ask them for a tutor?
-
I thought you were gonna call.
-
I complaine to much, the teacher don't like me, it's your turn
-
ok, i'll do it later then
( ^*) ^*) ^*) ^*) ^*) What kind of mother is she!!! Jack is better than her as a parent!)
-
Gotta go, got 14 hours of driving ahead of me.
-
It don't seem fair you driving up there two or three times a year and him never comin' down here...
-
You be good for your mama.
-
Ennis they got a opening over at the power company. Might be good pay.
-
As clumsy as I am I'd probably get electrocuted
-
Daddy, the church picnic's next weekend. Will you be back from fishin' by next weekend?
-
please daddy please!
-
Allright- as long as I don't have to sing.
-
You forgettin' somethin'?
-
You're late!
-
Look what I brought!
-
Beans!
-
Gonna cook 'em up just like I used to
-
Wow,haha..Here we go, no hand's
-
It's all yours, Bobby, all yours.
-
We could still smarten up and go to the Church social.
-
with that fire&brumstone crowd?
-
Well, I think it would be nice
-
Kissing,hhmmm..aahhh
Ennis,as far behind as we are in the bills,makes me nervous not to take no precaution.
-
If you don't want no more my kids I'd be happy to leave you alone
-
I'd have em if you'd support em.
-

(Whew - thank god I had my screenplay copy handy!)
-
What're you doin here?
:(
-
I got your message about the divorce.
-
This is my friend Jack
-
These are my daughters Alma Jr. and Jenny. Say hello.
-
These are my little girls, Jack, Alma Jr and Jenny.
-
Jack, these are my little girls. There's Alma Jr and Jenny.
-
(heheh)
hey
-
Say hi, girls.
Hi.
-
Your card said the divorce came through - so here I am
:\'( :\'( :\'(
-
I got your card, the divorce came through
('i'm sorry, I don't want to recite anymore of this scene cause I hate it...I absolutly hate it and could kick Ennis in the behind for what he does here...)
-
I had to ask about 10 different people in Riverton where you had moved to.
-
...I guess I thought this means you'd....
:\'( :\'( :\'( :\'(
-
Jack, I don't know what to say.
-
I got the girls this weekend. I'm sure as hell sorry, you know I am...
:\'( :\'( :\'(
-
See, I only get em once a month and I missed last month. So I just... because of the roundup. So...well
-
Yeah, alright.....
:\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'(
(oh god, sorry, but this bit always breaks my heart)
-
Jack.
(My heart is breaking too :\'()
-
I'll see you next month then.....
:\'( :\'( :\'( :\'(
(Ennis, go after him, dont let him go.....goddamit Ennis!) :\'(
-
Senor?
(I'm so sorry Jack)
-
Here we go....
-
Whoa there, Rodeo. Stud duck do the carvin' around here.
-
Ok LD, I was just saving you the trouble (not sure on wording here, correct me if its wrong)
-
Bobby, if you don't eat your dinner, I'm gonna hafta turn off that television.
-
hold on there, rodeo... Stud Duck will do the carvin' around here...
-
why mama? I'm gonna be eating this for the next two weeks! :X
-
Hey, you heard your mama.
-
Finish your meal, and then you can watch TV... click!... %(
-
(an dumb ass mule walks to turn on the tv :8)
Daddy!!!
-
Daddy?
Daddy!
Hell, we don't eat with our eyes.
-
You want your son to grow up to be a man, don't you daughter?
-
Boys should watch football.
-
Not until he finishes the meal his mama spent 3 hours fixin!
-
Sit down, you old son of a bitch!
-
This is my house, this is my child, and you're my guest!
-
So sit the hell down, or I'll knock your ass into next week.................
(I always wanted to say the! ;D)
-
Daddy, tell about when you rode broncs in the rodeo.
-
Well,that's a short story honey,it was only about 3 seconds I was on that bronc
-
Next thing I knew I was flyin' through the air.
-
But I'm no angel like you and Jenny, I didn't have no wings
(or something like that anyway!)
-
And that's the story of my saddle bronc career.
-
Ennis you should get married again. The girls and I worry about you being alone.
-
Once burned...
-
Do you still go fishing with Jack Twist?
-
Not often
-
You know, i used to wonder how come you never brought any trouts home.
-
You always said you caught plenty and you know how me and the girls like fish...
-
So one time I got your fishing line out before you went - still got the price tag on it after 5 years - and I tied a note to it that said "Hello Ennis, bring some fish home, love Alma"
-
And then you come back looking all perky and said you'd caught a bunch a browns and ate them up. Do you remember?
-
First chance I got, I opened your case and there was my note, still tied there. That line ain't never seen no water....
-
That don't mean nothing, Alma.
-
don't try to fool me no more Ennis, I know what that means! Jack Twist? Jack Nasty... you and him didn't go up there to fish
-
Now you listen to me, you don't know nothing about it.
-
I'm gonna yell for Monroe!
-
Go on and fu**in' yell. I'll make him eat the fu**in' floor and you, too.
-
Get out! Get out, Ennis del mar!
-
Daddy, daddy.
-
Bye Daddy, bye.
-
Hey, asshole, watch where you're going!!
-
What?? Jesus Christ!!! You stupid f**ck! Goddamn!(punch) damn it
-
All i'm saying is, what's the point to making it? If the taxes don't get it, the inflation eats it all up.
-
If you'd see Lureen punchin' numbers in her addin' machine..
-
Hunting for extra zeros, her eyes getting smaller and smaller..
-
Sounds like some high class entertainment
-
Sounds like some high class entertainment
Just a minute you forget:
Like watchting a rabbit tryin' to squeeze into a snakehole witha coyote on his tale
-
Sounds like some high class entertainment
For what is worth.
-
You and Lureen, it's normal an' all?
-
Sure.
-
She don't ever suspect?
-
You ever get the feeling, i don't know, when you're in town and someone looks at you, suspicious, like he knows.
-
And then you go outside, and everyone's looking at you, like they all know too?
-
Maybe it's time you moved outta there.
-
Find youself some place different , maybe Texas....
-
Texas? Sure and maybe you could convince Alma to let you and Lureen adopt the girls.
-
And then we could all live together, herding sheep, and it'll just rain money from L.D Newsome, and wishkey'll flow in the streams...
-
that's real smart Jack
-
Hey, you wanna go on livin' your miserable f*ckin' life, Ennis, go right ahead. I was just thinkin' out loud
-
yep, you're a real thinker Jack. Jack f***** Twist, think you got it all figured out don't ya....
-
Hey Ennis, where ya been?
-
Hey Ennis, where ya been?
Skipping bits again....he has to meet Cassie before he can break up with her ;) So....
Just finished my shift. Wanna dance?
-
Hey Ennis, where ya been?
Skipping bits again....he has to meet Cassie before he can break up with her ;) So....
Just finished my shift. Wanna dance?
lol... oops...
I was just leavin....
-
My name's Cassie. Cassie Cartwright.
-
Ennis... Del Mar
Song..Devil's right hand...lala
-
No more dancing for me I hope.
-
Nope, my feet hurt
-
Hard work, is it?
-
You're safe...my feet hurt
-
Hard work, is it?
yeah, drunks like you demanding beer after beer, smoking. gets tiresome.
-
What do you do, Ennis del Mar?
-
So, what do you do, Ennis del Mar?
-
earlier today I was castrating calves.
-
Wharryoudoin'?
(Sorry, but this just has to be written the same way as the one in FNIT!)
-
Trying to get a foot rub, dummy.
-
is this allright?
-
Lashawn:
Pledged Tri Delt at SMU and i sure never thought i'd end up in a pokey little place like childress...
-
Oh, you was Tri Delt? I was Kappa Phi myself.
-
Then I met old Randall here, at an Aggie game , and he was an animal husbandry major, so we been here for a month and got the foreman job over at Roy Taylor's ranch, like it or not here I am ! (^) (^) (^) ^*) (uuff)
-
Well, even though we ain't quite sorority sisters, we may just have to dance with ourselves, Lureen. Our husbands ain't the least bit interested in dancin'! Ain't got a smidgen of rhythm between 'em!
-
It's funny, ain't it? Husbands don't never seem to want to dance with their wives. Why do you think that is, Jack?
-
I never gave that theory any thought
-
Wanna dance?
-
Yes, thank you
-
Do ya mind?
-
No,no problem
-
You ever noticed that women powder their noses before they go out, then they powder them again before they go home? I mean, what's the point of powdering your nose just to go home to bed?
(Or something like that....and I also know I skipped some more Lashawn wittering, but you can't really hear what she says in the movie!)
-
I don't know
-
and even if I wanted to I couldn't get a word out of (to?) LaShawn long enough to ask.
( damn, that's not how it goes....my memory is starting to fail me....hm, it would be best if I re-watch the movie to refresh my memory, what do you guys reckon? a good enough excuse? ;) )
-
The woman talks a blue streak.
-
lively little gal
( I've always wanted to say that :D :D :D :8 )
-
you'll like workin' for Roy Taylor, he's solid
OT-did anyone noticed,how Randall put his hand with the cigarette between his legs?? :-\\
-
oh yeah, Roy's good
-
Yeah, Roy - he's a good old boy
-
He's got a little cabin, down on Lake Camp
-
Says I can use it anytime I want
(I can't do any more of these lines.....)
-
maybe we should go there sometimes. do us some fishing. escape.
-
Drink a littlle whisky,fish some,get away, you know??....
-
No, I am NOT doing the LaShawn bit!! ^*)
-
No, I am NOT doing the LaShawn bit!! ^*)
OK, I'll do it...
mutter mutter mutter yammer yammer mutter yammer.... ^o ^o ^o :8
-
yeah let's just....skip that part...
I was spending more than I made......blahblahblahblah he never was very mechanical though!
NEXT!
-
Hey there Junior. you ready?
-
what do you think? Your daddy ever see fit to settle down again?
-
I don't know. Maybe he's not the marrying kind.
-
You think? or you don't think I'm the one for him?
-
you're good enough
( I always get that line *LOL* I LOVE it! )
-
Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude
-
You don't say much but you sure do get your point across.
-
C'mon cowboy, you're stayin' on your feet
-
excuse me darlin'
-
So, I'll pick up you and Jenny next weekend after church.
-
Fine
-
Everything alright?
-
Yes.
-
are you sure?
-
It's gonna snow tonight for sure.
All this time , and you ain't found nobody else to marry?
(This just about kills me every time I hear it.)
-
Been puttin the blocks to a good lookin little gal over in Riverton.
-
She's a waitress. Wants to go to nursing school or something. I dunno.
-
What about you and Lureen?
-
Lureen's good at making hard deals in the machinery business, but as far as our marriage goes, we could do it over the phone
-
You know I got this thing going with the ranch foreman's wife...
-
I'm scared I'll get shot by Lureen or her husband each time I slip off to see her.
(Watch it, we are near the miss you part ~) )
-
Well you prob'ly deserve it, hunh?
-
Tell you what... the truth is....sometimes I miss you so much I can hardly stand it! :\'( :\'( :\'(
( I want so much to hug him now...going to sob now in the corner ~) ??? :-[ )
-
Guess i'll head on up to lightning flat. See the folks for a day or two.
-
There's something I've been meaning to tell you, Bud.
-
it's likely November before I can come up here again
-
After we ship stock and before winter weeding starts.
-
November? what in the hell happened to August?
-
Christ Ennis, you had a f***in' week to say some little word about this.
-
Why is it that we're always in the friggin' cold?
-
We oughta go to south, where it's warm. We oughta go to Mexico.
-
Mexico?...
-
I dedicate my 400 post for my beloved Ennis.. <^(
Hell Jack you know me ,about the only travellin' I ever done is around a coffee pot lookin' for a handle,come on Jack llighten up on me
-
We can hunt in november, kill a nice elk.
-
I try if I can get Don Wroe's cabin again, we had a good time there that year, didn't we?
-
There's never enough time; never enough.
-
You know, friend, this is a goddam bitch of an unsatisfactory situation. You used to come away easy, now it's like seeing the Pope.
-
Jack I gotta work, huh?
-
In them earlier days, I can just quit... You forget what it's like being broke all the time... I tell you I can't quit this one...
-
. . . and I can't get the time off. It was hard enough getting this time. The trade off was August. What, you got a better idea?
-
And I can't get the time off. Was tough enough gettin this time. The trade-off was August.
-
You got better idea?
-
I did once.
:\'(
-
You been to mexico, Jack? I heard about they got in mexico for boys like you.
-
Hell yes I been to Mexico! Is that a f*ckin problem?!
-
I gonna tell you this one time Jack f***in' Twist and i ain't foolin'. What i don't know, all them things that i don't know, could get you killed if i should come to know them, and i ain't jokin'.
( :\'( :\'( )
-
Try this one and I'll say it just one time!
-
Go ahead.
-
Tell you what. We could've had a good life together, a f*ckin real good life! But You didn't want it Ennis!
-
So what we got now is brokeback mountain.
-
Everything built on that. It's all we got boy, f*ckin all, so I hope you know that if you don't never know the rest!
-
Now what we got is Brokeback Mountain...that's all we got boy! F*****g all! So I hope you know that if you don't never know the rest. :\'(
Donna
-
Count the damn few times that we been together in nearly 20 years.
-
Measure the short f*ckin leash you keep me on; then ask me about Mexico and tell me you'll kill me for needin somethin I don't hardly never get!
:\'( :\'(
-
You have no idea how bad it gets.
:\'( :\'( :\'( :\'(
-
And I'm not you. I can't make it on a coupla high altitude f*cks once or twice a year!
-
You are to much for me Ennis
:(
-
You son of a whoreson bitch.
-
I wish i knew how to quit you.
:\'( :\'( :\'(
-
Goddamn...Well why don't you? huh??
-
Then why don't you?! Why don't you let me be?! It's cause of you, Jack, that I'm like this. I'm nothin, I'm nowhere.
-
Get the f*** off me.
-
Shhh,shh,,it's allright it's allright ..damn you Ennis
(you forget) Ennis :
II just can't stand it any more, Jack
:( :\'( :\'(
-
Come on now, you're sleepin' on your feet like a horse.
-
My mama used to say that to me when I was little...and sing..
-
I got to go.
:\'(
-
See you in the mornin.
-
Hey, Ennis del Mar, where you been?
-
Here and there.
-
I left word for you with Steve at the ranch.
-
And you must of got those notes I left for you at the ranch.
-
Looks like i got the message in any case.
-
Carl? Yea Carl's nice...he even talks.
-
Well then, good for you.
-
yeah, well... good for me...
-
I don't get you Ennis del Mar.
-
i'm sorry.
-
I'm sorry. I was probably no fun anyways, was I?
-
ennis. girls don't fall in love with fun!
-
Ennis, Girls don't fall in love with fun
-
Hello!
-
Uh hello, this is Ennis Del Mar..uh..
-
Who? Who is this?
-
Ennis del Mar. I'm old buddy of Jack's.
-
Jack used to mention you. You're the hunting buddy, the fishing buddy. I know that.
-
Would have let you know, but wasn't sure about your name or address. Jack kept his friend's addresses in his head.
-
That's why I was calling, to see what happened . . .
-
Oh yeah, Jack was pumping up a flat on the truck when the tire blew up.
-
The rim of the tire knocked him unconscious and he drowned in his own blood before help came
-
He was only 39 years old...Hello?.Hello?..Hello!!
-
um... is he buried up there?
-
We put a stone up.
-
He was cremated like he wanted
-
And half his ashes was intterred here.
-
The rest was sent up with his folks
-
He used to say he wanted his ashes skettered on Brokeback Mountain.
-
but i wasn't sure where that was
-
thought Brokeback Mountain might be around where he grew up
-
but knowing jack, it might be some pretend place where the bluebirds sing and there's a whiskey spring.
-
Ma'am, we used to herd sheep together on Brokeback one summer in '63
-
well, he said it was his favourite place
-
I thought he ment to get drunk. He drank a lot.
-
his folks still up in lightnin' flat?
-
They'll be there till the day they die.
-
thanks for your time
-
I sure am sorry.. we was good friends...
-
get in touch with his folks.
-
I suppose they'd appreciate it if his wishes was carried out.
-
about the ashes, i mean.
-
Want a cup of coffee, don't you. Piece of cherry cake?
-
thank you ma'am. i'll take a cup a coffee, but i can't eat no cake just now.
-
I feel awful bad about Jack...
-
can't begin to tell you how bad i feel.
-
I knew him a long time.
-
I come by to say... iif you want me to take his ashes up there on Brokeback...eh,like his wife said he wanted to...then I'd be happy to
-
I know where BBM is.
-
he thought he was too goddamn special to be buried in the familiy plot.
-
Jack used to say..Ennis Del Mar he used to say.. :X
-
' I'm going a bring him up here one a these days and we'll lick this damn ranch into shape.'
-
He had some half-backed notion the two of you was gonna move up here..build a cabin..help run the place. :X
-
then this spring he's got another fella's goin' to come up here with him and build a place and help run the ranch, some ranch neighbor a his from down in texas
-
He's goin' a split up with his wife and come back here.
-
so he says
-
But like most of Jack's ideas it never came to pass.
-
i kept his room like it was when he was a boy
-
i think he appreciated that...
-
you are welcome to go up in his room, if you want
-
i'd like that, ma'am, thank you
-
tell you what, we got a family plot and he's goin' in it.
-
yes sir...
( :\'( - sorry, had to put this one here...)
-
you come back and see us again
-
ma'am...
-
Hey there Junior
-
hey daddy..
-
like the car?
-
is it yours?
-
it's kurt's
-

-
Troy? Daddy that was two years ago.
-

-

-
forest service got designated campsites on the allotments.
-
you forgot: 'up on brokeback'
them camps can be four or five miles from where we pastor the woolies :)
-
Bad predator loss if there's nobody lookin' after 'em at night.
-
now what i want.. is a camp tender in the main camp where the forest service says, but the herder pitch a pup tent on the Q.T. with the sheep, and he's going to sleep there
-
Eat your supper, breakfast in camp, but you sleep with the sheep, hundred percent, no fire don't leave no sign.
-
you roll up that tent every mornin' case forest service snoops around.
-
Yeah? No. No. Not on your f**ken life!
-
you got your dogs, your 30/30, sleep there.
-
Last summer I had goddamn near 25% loss.
-
i don't want that again.
-
You....Fridays at noon be down at the bridge with your grocery llist and mules.
-
somebody with supplies will be there at the pickup.
-
Tomorrow mornin' we'll truck you up to the jump-off.
-

Them soup boxes are hard to pack.
-

-
Well, watch it there
-

I doubt there's a filly that can throw me.
-

-
Shit. Can't wait until i got my own spread, won't have to put up with Joe Aguirre's crap no more.
-
i'm savin' for a place myself
-
Me and alma, we'll be getting married when i come down off this mountain.
-

-
Aguirre got no right makin' us do something against the rules
-
I wouldn't mind sleepin' out there.
-

-
Something wrong?

I thought you didn't eat soup.
-
Well, I'm sick o' beans
-

-
Where in the hell you been? Up with the sheep all day, come down here hungry as hell, and

Wouldn't mind bein' out there.
-

-
I can't cook worth a damn.
-

Can't be no worse than me, then.
-

-
True enough.

if you don't get stomped winnin' it
-
My old man was a bullrider, pretty well known in his day..

-
Never taught me a thing, never once come to see me ride.
-

-
Did the best they could after my folks was gone..
-

-
Got me a year high school before the transmission went on the pickup.

No room for me.
-

-
What?
-

-
Hell, it's the most i've spoke in a year.

-
It ain't goin' nowhere. Let it be.
-

That's cause it got kinda flattened when that mare threw me.
-

-
She got lucky.
-

( :8 )
-

-
I don't know.
-
i don't know what the pentecost is..
-
Mama never explained it.
-
Mama never explained it to me.
-
I guess it's when the world ends and fellas like you and me march off to hell.
-

You maybe a sinner, but i ain't yet had the opportunity.

-
Hell, Lureen's old man, you bet he'd give me a downpayment if i'd get lost.

-
That so? You and Alma, that's a life?
-

-
This ain't her fault.
-
Bottom line, we're around each other and this thing graps hold of us again, in the wrong place, at the wrong time we'll be dead.
-
there was these two old guys ranched together down home, earl and rich
-
They was a joke in town..

-
My daddy, he made sure me and my brother seen it.

-
We could still smarten up, head over the church social.
-
that fire-and-brimstone crowd?
-
that fire-and-brimstone crowd?
-
I think that it'd be nice.
-
as far behind in paying the bills, it still makes me nervous to take no precautions.
-
if you don't want no more of my kids, i'll be happy to leave you alone...
-
i'd have em if you'd support em
-
I'd have them, if you'd support them.
-
custody of the two minor children...
-
Alma jr, and Jennifer Del mar, is awadted to plaintiff.
-
defendant is ordered to pay child support to the plaintiff in the sum of 125 dollars a month, for each of the minor children until they reach the age of 18 years
-
Del mar divorce granted, this 6th day of November 1975.
-
what're you doin here?
-
Got your message 'bout the divorce.
-
This is my friend Jack.
-
this here is Alma Junior and Jenny.
-
your card said the divorce came through.
-
So...here I am.
-

-
Jack.... don't know what to say...
-
I thought this meant
-

-
I'm sure as hell sorry. You know I am.
-
i got the girls this weekend..
Didn't we forget . . .
I missed last month because of the round up.
-

-

-
Senor? :\'( :\'(
-
Whoa now, rodeo, the stud duck does the carving around here.
-
i was just saving you trouble
-
Bobby, if you don't eat your dinner, I'm going to have to turn off that television.
-
Why momma?
-
I'm going to be eating this food for the next two weeks.
-
You heard your mama. Eat your dinner, then you can watch the game.
-
Daddy? Daddy!
-
Hell, you don't eat with your eyes... You want your son to grow up to be a man, don't you, daughter. Boys should watch futball
-
Not till he finishes eatin the meal his mama spent 3 hours fixin!
-
Now you sit down you old sonnofabitch!
-
This is my house, this is my child and you are my guest!
-
Now,you sit down,before I knock your ignorant ass into next week.
-
Daddy, tell us how you rode the broncs...
-
Short story, honey.
-
It was only about 3 seconds Iwas on that bronc,
-
And the next thing i knew i was flying through the air.
-
Only I was no angel like you and Jenny,here I didn't have no wings
(what a charming thing to say <^( <^( )
-
And that's the story of my saddle bronc career.
(yes it was. :) )
-
you still go fishing with Jack Twist?
-
Not often.
-
you know I used to wonder how come you never brought any trouts home.
-
Always said you caught plenty, and you know how me and the girls like fish.
-
so one night I got your creel case open the night before you went on one of your little trips, price tag still on it after five years,and I tied a note on the end of the line, it said 'hello Ennis, bring some fish home, love Alma' and then you come back lookin' all perky and said you caught a bunch of browns and ate them up.
( I always wanted to do that quote!!!! btw, my 1300th post, yay! )
-

I looked in the case first change i got and there was my note still tied there.
-
that hook didn't touch water in it's life.
-
That don't mean nothin', Alma..
-
don't try to fool me no more Ennis, I know what this means *sob* Jack Twist....JACK NASTY!
( always wanted to do that ;D )
-
You didn't go up there to fish. You and him...
-
you know nothing about it!
-
I'm going to yell for Monroe.
-
go and fu**in' yell!
-
I'll make him eat the fu**in' floor and you, too.
-
get out, get out of my house Ennis del Mar, you hear me!!!!!!!
-
Daddy!
-
Alma?
-
We forgot:
Hey, asshole, watch where you're goin'!
-
'Alma?' was Monroe's line while Ennis was leaving the house ;)
stupid f***!!!!
-
'Alma?' was Monroe's line while Ennis was leaving the house ;)
stupid f***!!!!
( uups, sorry ;D )
All i'm saying, is what the point to makin' it?
-
If the tax don't get you the inflation will eat it all up
-
You should see Lureen, punchin' numbers into her adding machine...
-
huntin' for extra zeros, her eyes gettin' smaller and smaller..
-
It's like watching a rabbit tryin' to squeeze into a snakehole with a coyote on its tail.
-
sounds like some high class entertainment
-
For what it's worth.
-
you and lureen...its normal and all?
-
Sure.
-
and she don't ever suspect?
-
You ever get the feelin' i don't know, when you're in town, and someone looks at you, suspicious, like he knows.
-
and then you get out on the pavement, and everyone lookin' at you, and maybe they all know, too?
-
ya know, maybe you ought to get outta there. Try some place different
-
Maybe Texas.
-
texas?
-
Sure, and maybe you'll convince Alma to let you and Lureen adopt my girls..
-
and then we could all live together, herdin' sheep..
-
and it'll just rain money from L.D Newsome..
-
and whiskey'll flow in the streams...
-
Aw, go to hell, Ennis del Mar.
-
you want to live your miserable fu**in' life, go right ahead.
-
I was just thinkin' out loud.
-
you're a real thinker, ain't you!
-
Yeah, that Jack Twist, he's got all figured out, ain't you?
-
just finished my shift.
-
Wanna dance?
-
Actually I was.....
-
i'm cassie.. cassie cartwright
-
Ennis del Mar.
-
no more dancin' for me
-
I hope.
-
you're safe - my feet hurt.
-
Hard work, is it?
-
yeah, drunks like you demanding beer after beer, smoking... gets tiresome.
-
What do you do, ennis del Mar?
-
well, earlier today, i was castratin' calves..
-
What are you doin'
-
tryin' to get a footrub, dummy.
-
Can we plese skip this Lashawn talk ?? plaplaplapalapalaplapalapa *^) *^) ^o ^o
-
Can we plese skip this Lashawn talk ?? plaplaplapalapalaplapalapa *^) *^) ^o ^o
LOL - okay, i'll do it for you...
pledged tri delt at smu and i sure never thought i'd end up in a pokey little place like childress, but the i met randall at an aggie game, and he was as animal husbandry major, and we been here a month, he got the foreman job ober ar roy taylor's ranch. like it or not, here i am!
(wow - what a talker...)
-
( yes she sure is ;D LOL )
Oh, you was Tri Delt? I was Kappa Phi myself.
-
well, even though we ain't quite sorority sisters, we may have to dance with ourselves, lureen. our husbans ain't the least bit interested in dancin'. they don't seem to have a smidgen of rythm between 'em.
-
It's funny, ain't it? Husbands don't never seem to dance with their wives.
-
why do you think that is, jack?
-
Ain't never give it a thought.
-
wanna dance?
( *o) : LOL - your turn with the lashawn talk ;) - i gotta run...)
-
Oh my god *^) ^o
Thank you for asking me to dance with me, i really appreciate that, i really do. it's good thing that you and Lureen happened along when you did, or else we'd still be stuck on the side of the road in that dern pickup. I told Randall we oughta take the car, course he don't ever listen to me. He wouldn't listen to me if he was goin' deaf tommorrow. I told Randall it takes more than chewing gum and baling wire to keep a pickup goin'.
( whoa, what a plabber ;D )
-
Ever notice how a woman'll powder her nose before the party starts and then she'll powder it again when the party's over?
-
I mean, whats the point of powdering your nose just to go home and go to bed?
-
I don't know...I couldn't ask LaShawn...I can't ever get a word in with her
-
woman talks a blue steak
-
Lively little gal.
-
you'll like working for roy taylor
-
He's solid
-
yeah, roy - he's a good ol' boy
-
He's got a litle cabin,down on lake camp
-
Said I could use it whenever I wanted
-
maybe you and I could go up there one weekend
-
Drink a little whisky ,fish some,get away...you know?
-
When I was right out of SMU I could have had my pick of pretty much any job in Dallas, so my pick was Neiman Marcus, which was a disaster because where clothes is concerned I got no resistance . . .
-
i was spending more than i made, more probably than randall ever will make...
-
We come out here thinking ranching was still big hats and Marlboros, boy, were we behind the times....
-
hey there, junior, you ready?
-
what do you think?
-
your daddy ever gonna see fit to settle down again?
-
maybe he ain't the marrying kind
-
You don't think so? Or you don't think I'm the one for him
-
you're good enough...
-
You don't talk much, but you get your point across.
-
i'm sorry... didn't mean to be rude...
-
c'mon cowboy, you're stayin' on your feet.
-
i'll pick you and jenny up next weekend after church
-
fine.
-
you're late
-
you're allright?
-
okay, i deleted that...
back on topic:
yes
-
sure?
-
daddy, i was thinking, what with the new baby and all...
-
ma and monroe, they've been awful strict on me
-
more on me than on jenny even.
-
i was thinking, maybe i could.. maybe i could come stay with you, daddy...
-
i'd be a big help to you... i know i would...
-
Now honey, you know i ain't really set up for that.
-
It's ok Daddy i understand
-
See you next sunday, then.
-
gonna snow tonight for sure
-
All this time, and you ain't found nobody else to marry?
-
been puttin the blocks to this little gal over in Riverton
-
Waitresses part-time, wants to go to nursing school, or something.
-
I don't know
-
What about you and Lureen?
-
Lureen's good at making hard deals in the machinery business, but as far as our marraige, goes, we could do it over the phone.
-
I kinda got a thing going with a ranch foreman's wife over in Childress.
-
Afraid I'm gonna getshot by her husband or Lureen every time I sneak off to meet her
-
Probably deserve it.
-
tell ya what
-
The thruth is, sometimes i miss you much i can hardly stand it.
:\'( :\'( :\'( :\'(
-
I guess I'll drive up to Lightening Flat. See the folks for a day or two.
-
Somethin' i been meaning to tell you, bud.
-
I ain't gonna be able to make it out here again til November
-
After we ship stock and before the winter feedin' starts.
-
November. What in the hell happened to August
-
Christ, Ennis, you had all fu**in' week to say some little word about this.
-
You know had a f***kin' week to say some kinda word about this
-
why is it always in the frigging cold
-
We oughta go south, where it's warm. We oughta go to Mexico.
-
Mexico? Jack, you know me... About all the travelin I do is around a coffee pot lookin' for its handle...
-
Mexico?
-
Lighten up on me, Jack. We can hunt in november, kill a nice elk.
-
try if I can get Don Wroe's cabin again
-
We had a good time that year, didn't we?
-
We had a good time there didn't we?
-
aint never enough time, never enough
:\'( :\'( :\'(
-
You know friend, this is a goddamn bitch of a unsatisfactory situation.
-
you used to come away easy now its like seeing the pope
-
You use to come away easy
-
Now it's like seein' the pope.
-
Jack, I gotta work
-
Them earlier days i used to quit the jobs.
-
You forget how it is being broke all the time
-
You ever hear of child support?
-
I tell ya, I can't quit this one
-
And i can't get the time off.
-
it was hard enuf getting this time
-
The trade-off was August.
-
ya got a better idea
-
I did once.
:\'( :\'(
-
you did once
-
You been to Mexico, Jack?
-
cause I heard what they got in Mexico for boys like you
-
Hell yes i been in Mexico, is that a fu**in' problem?
-
i gotta say this to you one time, jack f***in' twist, and i ain't foolin'
-
What i don't know, all them things i don't know, could get you killed if a should come to know them, and i ain't jokin'
-
try this one - and i'll just say it one time.
-
Go ahead!
-
we coulda had a good life. A f.....king real good life
-
had us a place of our own.
-
but you didn't want it Ennis :\'(
-
so what we got now - is Brokeback Mountain!
-
Everything is built on that, it's all we got boy, f***in' all.
-
so i hope you know that, if you don't never know the rest.
-
Count the damn few times we been together nearly 20 years.
-
Measure the short f&*kin lease you keep me on . . .
-
And then you ask me about Mexico!
-
and then say you'll kill me for something i hardly ever get! :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'(
-
You have no idea how bad it gets! :\'(
-
i'm not you! i can't do it with a couple of hight altitude f**s once twice a year!
-
You are too much for me Ennis. You son of a whore son bitch.
-
I wish i knew how to quit you :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'(
-
Then why don't you? :\'( :\'( :\'(
-
Huh?
-
Why don't you let me be?!
-
It's because of you that I'm like this
-
It's because of you i'm like this!
-
I'm nothin; I'm nowhere. :\'(
-
Get the f*ck off me!
-
damn you ennis
-
Come on now. You're sleepin on your feet like a horse.
-
My mama used to say that when I was little...
-
...and sing...
-
I got to go
-
See you in the morning.
-
Hey Ennis Del Mar. Where you been?
-
Here and there.
-
I left words for you with Steve at the Ranch.
-
And you musta got those notes I left at your place.
-
Looks like I got the message , in any case.
-
Carl? Yeah, Carl's nice. He even talks.
-
Well then, good for you.
-
Ennis! I don't get you!
-
I'm sorry.
-
was probably no fun anyway, was i?
-
Oh, Ennis, girls don't fall in love with fun!
-
hello?
(OT - oh, i hate that following scene... :\'( )
-
Uh, hello, this is Ennis del Mar, I, uh...
(OT: so do i :\'( )
-
who? who's this?
-
Ennis del Mar.
-
i'm an old buddy of jack's, i...
-
Jack used to mention you.
-
You're the fishing buddy, or the hunting buddy.
-
I know that.
-
would have let you know, but wasn't sure about for name or adress
-
Jack kept his friend's addresses in his head.
-
why i was callin', to see what happened
-
Oh yeah, Jack was pumping a flat on the truck out on a back road when the tire blew up.
-
the rim of the tire slammed into his face and broke his nose and jaw..
-
Knocked him unconscious on his back.
-
by the somebody came along, he had drowned in his own blood.
:\'( :\'(
-
Terrible thing. He was only thirty-nine years old.
:\'( :\'( :\'(
-
..hello?
-
He buried down there?
:\'(
-
we put a stone up
-
He was cremated, like he wanted..
-
and half his ashes was interred here.
-
The rest i sent up with his folks.
-
he use to say he wanted his ashes scattered on Brokeback Mountain
-
but i wasn't sure where that was.
-
i thought Brokeback Mountain might be around where he grew up
-
But knowing Jack,
-
it might be some pretend place where the bluebirds sing and there's a whiskey spring
-
No, ma'am, we herded sheep up on Brokeback one summer..
-
well, he said it was his favourite place.
-
I thought he meant to get drunk.
-
he drank a lot
-
His folks still up in Lightnin' Flat?
-
they'll be there till the day they die
-
Thanks for your time, then..
-
we was good friends
-
get in touch with his folks
-
I suppose they'd appreciate it if his wishes was carried out.
-
about the ashes I mean....
-
Want a cup of coffee, don't you, a piece of cherrycake.
-
I'll have tea but I can't eat no cake just now
-
I feel awful bad about Jack.. can't begin to tell you how bad i feel.
-
i knew him a long time.
-
i come to say that if you want me to take his ashes up there on brokeback like his wife said he wanted,
-
I'd be proud to.
-
tell you what.
-
I know where Brokeback Mountain is.
-
I know where Brokeback Mountain is....
-
he thought he was to goddamn special to be buried in the family plot
-
Jack used to say..
-
ennis del mar, he used to say..
-
Ennis Del Mar, he used to say . . .
-
I'm going to bring him up here one of these days..
-
and we'll lick this damn ranch into shape
-
he had some half-baked notion the two a you was gonna move up here, build a cabin, help run the place...
-
then this spring he's got another fella's goin to come up here with him and build a place and help run the ranch,
-
some ranch neighbor a his from down in texas.
-
but like most of Jack's ideas...
-
it never come to pass
-
i kept his room like it was when he was a boy.
-
i think he appreciated that.
-
You're welcome to go up in his room, if you want.
-
i'd like that, ma'am, thank you
-
Tell you what, we got a family plot and he's going in it.
-
yes sir.
-
Thank you for this
-
Hey there, junior.
-
hey daddy..
-
Like the car?
-
yeah, is it yours?
-

-
Thought you was seein' Troy?
-

-
Troy still playin' baseball?
-
I don't know what he's doing, I'm seeing Kurt now
-
What's this Kurt fella do?
-

-
roughneck
-
You're nineteen, guess you can do whatever you want.
-

OMG, ALREADY?!?!?! I can't f****** believe it....man, we're fast!
-
And so it begins again....
You pair o deuces are lookin for work, I suggest you get your scrawny asses in here pronto.
-
forest service got designated campsites on the allotments.
-
now up on brokeback, forest service got designated campsites on the allotments.
-
them camps can be 3 or 4 miles from where we pasture the woollies
-
(I love the fact that the film uses "woollies" instead of "sheep" -- as found in the short story and screenplay!)
Bad predator loss, nobody near lookin after em at night.
-
now what i want..
-
is a camp tender in the main camp where the forest service sais, but the herder...
-
pitch a pup tent on the Q.T. with the sheep, and he's goin to sleep there
-
Don't leave no fire. Don't leave no sign. Roll up the tent every morning in case the forest service comes snooping around.
-
yeah? no. no. not on your f***in' life!
-
you got your dogs, your 30/30, you sleep there
-
Last summer i had goddamn near 25% loss.
-
i don't want that again
-
You.. Fridays at noon be down at the bridge with yor grocery list and mules.
-
somebody with supplies will be there at the pickup.
-

( :) )
-

-
My second year up here.
-
last year one storm the lightnin killed 42 sheep
-
Thought i'd asphyxiate from the smell.
-
aguirre got all over my ass like i'm supposed to control the weather
-
But beats workin' for my old man.
-
can't please my old man, no way
-
That's why i took to rodeoin'.
-

-
You know, i mean, once in a while..
-
when i got the entry fee in my pocket
-
Yeah. You from ranch people?
-
i was
-
Your folks run you off?
-
no.. they run themselves off
-
One curve in the road in 43 miles, and they miss it.
-
killed 'em both
-
Bank took the ranch.
-
brother and sister raised me, mostly
-
Shit, That's hard.
-
can I?
-
don't let 'em stray
-
Joe'll have your ass, if you do.
-
only thing, don't never order soup
-
them soup boxes are hard to pack
-
Don't eat soup.
-
don't eat soup
-
well watch it there, that horse has a low startle point
-
I doubt there's a filly that can throw me.
-
I doubt there's a filly that can throw me.
-
let's get, 'less you wanna stand around and tie knots all day
-
Shit, can't waut until i got my own spread..
-
won't have to put up with joe aguirre's crap no more
-
I'm savin for a place myself.
-
Me and Alma, we'll be getting married when I come down off this mountain.
-
shit, that stay with the sheep and no fire, bullshit
-
Aguirre's got no right makin' us do something against the rules.
-
no more beans
-
Dammit.
-
somethin wrong?
-
Where's the powdered milk and the spuds?
-
that's all we got
-
Here's next week's.
-
thought you didn't eat soup
-
Sick of beans.
-
it's too early in the summer to be sick of beans
-
Come back here, you sons a bitches!
-
shit
-
Where the hell you been?
-
up with the sheep all day, i get down here, hungry as hell and all i find is beans
-
What in hell happened, Ennis?
-
come on a bear
-
Goddamn horse spooked, the mules took off.
-
scattered food everywhere
-
Beans about all we got left.
-
whiskey
-
Well, we got to do something about this food situation.
-
dumb ass mule
-
maybe i'll shoot one of the sheep
-
What if Aguirre finds out?
-
we're supposed to guard the sheep, not eat 'em
-
whats a matter with you there are thousands of them
-
I'll stick with beans.
-
well, i won't
-
Ooooooooooeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
-
was gettin tired of your dumb ass missin
-
Let's get a move on.
-
don't want the game and fish catch us with no deer
-
I'm commutin' four hours a day.
-
come in for breakfast, go back to the sheep..
-
evening get them bedded down, come in for supper..
-
go back to the sheep, spend half the night checkin for for damn coyotes
-
Aguirre got no right to make me do this.
-
you wanna switch?
-
i wouldn't mind
-
Happy to switch, but give you warning, i can't cook worth a damn.
-
though i'm pretty good with can openers
-
Can't be no worse than me then.
-
Won't get much sleep, tell you that.
-
shot a coyote, big son of a bitch, balls on him size a apples
-
Looked like he could eat a camel.
-
you want some of this hot water?
-
It's all yours.
-
don't rodeo much myself
-
What's the point of riding a piece of stock for eight seconds? Huh?
-
Money's a good point.
-
Sure enough. If you don't get stomped winning it.
-
My old man was a bullrider, pretty well known in his day, but he kept his secrets to himself. Never taught me a thing, never once come to see me ride.
-
Your brother and sister do right by you?
-
did the best tehy could after my folks was gone, considerin' the didn't leave us nothin' but 24$ in a coffee can
-
Got me a year of high school. That was till the transmission went on the pickup.
-
Then my sis married a roughneck and moved to Casper . . .
-
Me and my brother got us jobs on a ranch up near Worland , till I was 19.
-
so that's how i ended up me here
-
Whut? ;)
-
Friend, that's more words you spoke in the past 2 weeks...
-
Hell, that's the most I spoke in a year!!-
-
My dad now, he was a fine roper. Didn't rodeo much though. Thought rodeo cowboys was all f**kups ;D
-
The hell they are.
-
Well....
-
Yeeeeee-haw
-
There you go + gorgeous smile <^(
-
I'm spurring his guts out! wavin' to the girls in the stands. He's kickin' to hi heaven, but he can't dasboard me. No way. Yeeehaaaw.
-
I think my dad was right! :cr)
-
Tent don't look right.
-
It ain't goin' nowhere...let it be
-
That harmonica don't sound quite righ neither.
-
That's cause it got kinda flat when that mare threw me
-
I thought you said that mare couldn't throw you.
-
Well, she got lucky
-
If i was lucky, that harmonica woulda broke in two.
-
I know I shall meet you on that final day
-
Water walkin' Jesus, take me awaaaaaaaaaaaay..
-
Very good
-
My mama, she believes in the pentecost.
-
Oh yeah? What exactly is the Pentecost? I mean, my folks, they was Methodist.
-
Well, the pentecost.. I don't know.
-
I dunno what the Pentecost is. Mama never explained it to me.
-
I guess it's when the world ends and fellas like you and me march off to hell.
-
Speak for yourself. You may be a sinner but I ain't yet had the opportunity.
-
Shit. I'm going to go up to the sheep now.
-
Too late to go up to them sheep.
-
You got a extra blanket, i'll roll up out here and grab forty winks, ride out at first light.
-
You'll freeze your ass off when that fire dies down. You're better off sleepin in the tent.
-

-

Wonderin' if you was needin any help this summer?
-
You're wasting your time here, Twist...

You boys sure knew how to make the time pass up there.
-
Twist, you guys wasn't getting paid to leave the dogs babysit the sheep while you stemmed the rose.

Jenny stopped her coughin'.
-
i should take the girls into town this weekend, get 'em an ice cream.
-
Ennis, can't we move to town?
-
i'm tired of these lonesome old ranches.
-
There's no one for Almajr to play with..
-
Rent in town's too high
-
and besides, i'm scairt for jenny, scared if she has one of them bad asthma spells.
-
Rents in town are too high.
-
There's a cheap place in Riverton above a laundromat.... I bet I can fix it up real nice
-

-
Ennis, i know you'd like it too.
-

-
If I had a drink everytime a rodeo cowboy bought me one, I would've become an alcoholic long ago...
-
Pulling bulls off of you buckaroos is just my job. Save your money for your next entry fee, cowboy.
-
You ever try calf ropin'?
-

-
Shoudln't we move a little closer?
-

-
Whoo-wee! Look at this crowd. There oughta be a lotta pussy on the hoof in a crowd like this.

You know your friend could come inside... have a cuppa coffee...

He's from Texas . . .
-
Texans don't drink coffee?
-
You sure that foreman won't fire you for takin' off?
-
You know, that foreman, he owes me one.... I worked through that blizzard that one winter, you remember that? Besides, I'm just gonna be gone for a few days
-
Bring a fish Daddy, big one!
-

-

(or is it: See ya Sunday at the latest -- ?)
-
Last one in.....
-
Is there anything interesting up there in heaven?
-
I was just sending up a prayer of thanks.
-
For what?
-
For you forgettin' to bring that harmonica.
-
You know it could be like this, just like this, always.
-
what if, you and me had a little ranch somewhere, a cow&calf operation, It'd be a sweet life.
-
("Yeah, how you figger that?")
what if, you and me had a little ranch somewhere, a cow&calf operation, It'd be a sweet life.
Hell, Lureen's old man, you bet he'd give me the down payment to get lost, I mean he more or less already said it...
-
No,I hhhm...I told you,it ain't gonna be that way :(
OT
(justlikethisalways,congrats,for your 200 psts!!! &**) )
-
you got your wife and baby in texas, and i got my life in riverton..
-
Is that so? You and Alma; that's a life.
-
shut up about alma, this ain't her fault.
-
The bottom line is we're around each other and this thing grabs hold of us again at the wrong place, at the wrong time and we're dead.
-
There was these two old guys ranched together down home, Earl and Rich.
-
they was a joke in town, even though they was pretty tough old birds
-
They found Earl dead in a irrigation ditch.
-
they'd took a tire iron on him, spurred him up, drug him around by his dick till it pulled off..
-
You seen that?
-
i was what, nine years old.
-
My daddy, he made sure me and my brother seen it.
-
hell, for all I know he done the job.
-
two guys livin together?
-
No way.
-
we can get together once in a while way the hell out in the back of nowhere, but..
-
Once in a while. Ever 4 f*ckin years?!
-
If you can't fix it Jack, you gotta stand it.
-
for how long?
-
As long as we can ride it...
-
There ain't no reins on this one.
-
Supper's on the stove
-
no one's eatin' it unless you're servin' it, alma!
-
I promised I'd take the extra shift!
-
well tell him you made a fu**in' mistake!
-
ALMA!
-
you girls need a push?
-
Nooo ! (love it :) )
-
didn't that piss-ant used to ride the bulls?
-
He used to try.
-
honey, you seen my blue parka?
-
Last time i seen it you was in it.. that day we had that big ice storm.
-
Last time I seen you in it was during that ice storm
-
well, i could swore i left it here.
-
You know, you're worse than Bobby when it comes to losin' things...
-
you know, you been going to wyoming all these years.
-
you know, you been going to wyoming all these years.
Hanna, you forgot "Speaking about Bobby, did you talk to his teacher about getting him a tutor?" ;D
-
you know, you been going to wyoming all these years.
Hanna, you forgot "Speaking about Bobby, did you talk to his teacher about getting him a tutor?" ;D
erm, i think that comes later? quite chaotic here in the moment, so i just go on.. ;D
why can't your buddy come down here to texas and fish?
-
(I think you're right Hanna... My bad...)
Because the Big HOrn mountains aren't in Texas, besides, I don't think his pickup can make it here....
-
;)
---------------------------

-
Daddy can't drive this far anyways.
-

-
That is, i will be unless i freeze...
-
And I'll freeze if I don't find that parka!
-
and i might freeze if i don't find that parka
-
I don't have your goddamn parka.
-
you're worse than bobby when it comes to losing stuff.
-
Speaking of Bobby, did you call the school back yet about getting him a tutor?
-
i thought you were gonna call.
-
I've complained too much..
-
that teacher dont like me.
-
Now it's your turn.
-

-
Daddy, the church picnic's next weekend.

It's all yours Bobby. It's all yours.
-

-
We could still smarten up, head over to the church social.
-
that fire-and-brimstone crowd?
-
I think it'd be nice...
-
Ennis, as far behind as we are on the bills, it makes me nervous not to take no precautions.
-
If you don't want one of my kids, I'd be happy to leave you alone...
-
I'd have em if you'd support em.

-
Senor?
-
we skipped: 'Jack?'

-
HOld on there, rodeo... Stud Duck will do the carvin around here...
-
whatever you say L.D., just wanted to save you the trouble
-
Bobby, if you don't eat your dinner, I'll have to turn off that television.
-
Why mama? I'll be eating this for the next two weeks! *^)
-
Hey,you heard your mama
-
Finish your meal, and then you can watch TV...
-
Daddy? Daddy!
-
Hell,we don't eat with our eyes!
-
You want your son to grow up to be a man, don't you, daughter?
-
boys should watch football.
-
Not till he finishes the meal his mama spent 3 hours fixin!
-
Now you sit down you old sonnofabiaccch! ;)
-
Sit down, you old son of a bitch!
-
this is my house! this is my child! and you are my guest!
-
Now you sit down
-
Or i'll knock your igronant ass into next week..
-
....before I knock your ignorant ass into next week! ^^)
-
daddy, tell about when you rode broncs in the rodeo
-
well that's a short story honney, it was only ten seconds I was on that bronc. the next thing I knew I was flying thru the air...
-
Only I wasn't no angel like you and Jenny.
-
i didn't have no wings.
-
And that's the story of my saddle bronc career.
-
You ought to get married again, Ennis.
-
me and the girls worry 'bout you bein' alone so much
-
Once burned...
-
you still go fishin' with jack twist?
-
Not often.
-
"You still go fishing with Jack Twist?"
-
you know i used to wonder how come you never brought any trouts home.
-
you always said you caught plenty and you know how me and the girls like fish...
-
Use to say you caught a bunch
-
you always said you caught plenty and you know how me and the girls like fish...
So one night i got your creel case open the night before you went on one your little trips...
-
..price tag still on it after five years..
-
And i tied a note on the end of the line.
-
it said 'hello ennis, bring some fish home, love, alma'...
-
And then you come back lookin' all perky and said you'd caught a bunch a browns and ate them up.
-
do you remember?
-
I looked in the case first change i got..
-
and there was my note still tied there.
-
That don't mean nothin' Alma.
-
don't try to fool me no more, ennis,
-
I know what it means.
-
jack twist?
-
Alma...
-
jack nasty!
-
You didn't go up there to fish.
-
you and him..
-
Now you listen to me..
-
You don't know nothin' about it...
-
I'm going to yell for Monroe.
-
go on and fu**in yell
-
I'll make him eat the fu**in' floor and you, too...
-
get out! get out! get out!
-
Goodbye Daddy
-
Get out of my house, Ennis del Mar.
-
bye daddy. bye
-
hey asshole, watch where you're goin'!
-
All i'm saying is, what's the point to makin it?
-
if the taxes don't get it, the inflation eats it all up.
-
You should see Lureen, punchin numbers into her adding machine..
-
.... Like a rabbit tryin to squeeze into a hole with a coyote on its tail.... (or something to that effect... :8 )
-
High-class entertainment.
-
for what it's worth.
-
Lureen. You and her, it's normal and all?
-
sure.
-
And she don't ever suspect?
-
you ever got the feelin', i don't know, when you're in town,
-
and someone looks at you, suspicious..like he knows?
-
and then you get out on the pavement, and then everyone, lookin' at you, and maybe they all know too.
-
Maybe it's time you moved outta there.
-
you know, set yourself up somewhere different.
-
Maybe Texas.
-
Texas? And maybe you can convince Lureen to adopt the girls....
-
and then we could all live together, herding sheep...
-
and it'll just rain money from L.D. newsome,
-
And whiskey'll flow in the streams...
-
That's real smart, Jack
-
Aw, go to hell, Ennis del Mar.
-
you want to live your miserable fu**in' life, go right ahead.
-
I was just thinking out loud.
-
you're a real thinker, ain't you.
-
Yeah, that Jack Twist, he's got it all figured out, ain't you?
-
just finished my shift. wanna dance?
-
I was just about to leave...
-
i'm cassie. cassie cartwright.
-
Ennis....Del Mar.
-
No more dancin' for me I hope
-
You're safe,my feet hurt
-
Hard work, is it?
-
Yeah!!
-
Drunks like you demanding beer after beer? It gets tiresome.
-
What do you do, Ennis DelMar?
-
Well earlier today I was castratin' calves.
-
what are you doin'?
-
Tryin to get a foot rub. Dummy.
-
Tryin' to get a footrub, dummy
-
Okay. Is this good?
-
pledges Tri Delt at SMU and i sure never thought i'd end up in a pokey little place like childress, but then i met randall at an aggie game, and he was an animal husbandry major, and we been here a month, he got the foreman job over at roy taylor's ranch; like it or not, here i am!

-
it's funny, ain't it?
-
Husbands don't never seem to want to dance with their wives.
-
Why is that Jack? :s)
-
I don't know
-
Never gave it a thought...wanna dance?
-
Do you mind?
-
thank you for asking to dance with me, i really appreciate that, i really do.
-
It's a good thing that you and Lureen happened along when you did, or else we'd still be stuck on the side of the road in that dern pickup.
-
i told randall we oughta take the car, 'course he don't ever listen to me.
(oh, what a short sentence this time ;D)
-
;D ;D
He wouldn't listen to me if he was going deft tommorrow.
-
You ever wonder why a woman will powder her nose before a party, and then powder it again just to go home and go to bed? ^*()
-
don't know.
-
Even if i wanted to know, couldn't get a word in with Lashawn long enough to ask.
-
that woman talks a blue streak
-
Lively little gal.
-
You'll like working for Roy Taylor. He's solid.
-
yeah. roy, he's a good ole boy.
-
He's got a little cabin down on Lake Kemp.
-
A croppy little house, he said I can use it whenever I want. We should go up there and fish sometime... Drink some whiskey... you know...
-
when i was right out if the SMU i coulda had my pick of pretty much any job in north dallas, so my pick was neiman marcus, which was a desaster because where clothes is concerned, honey, i got no resitance.
blablablabla...
-
I was spending more than i made, more probably than Randall ever will make... palapalpalapalapa
-
(i think that is enough lashawn for today!! 8))
hey there junior, ready?
-
You ready, Junior?
-
What do you think?
-
Your daddy ever see fit to settle down again?
-
your daddy ever gonna see fit to settle down again?
-
Don't know.
-
You don't think so, or you don't think I'm the right one for him?
-
You're good enough.
-
you don't talk much, but you get your point across.
-
You don't say much, but you sure do get your point across.
-
Sorry. I didn't mean to be rude.
-
c'mon cowboy, you're stayin' on your feet.
-
'scuse me darlin'
-
i'll pick you and jenny up next weekend after church.
-
Fine.
-
you all right?
-
Yes, daddy
-
sure?
-
Daddy, i was thinking, what with the new baby and all...
-
ma and monroe, they've been awful strict on me.
-
More on me than on Jenny even.
-
I was thinking, maybe I could come stay with you.
-
You know, I'm just not set up for that... With the roundup coming up, I'll never be home...
-
Daddy, i'd be a big help to you, i know i would.
-
it's all right, daddy.
-
I ain't saying i wouldn't want...
-
no, it's all right.
-
I understand..
-
see you next sunday then.
-
Bye.
-
bye, sweetheart.
-
It's gonna snow tonight for sure.
-
all this time, and you ain't found nobody else to marry?
-
Been puttin' the blocks to a good looking little gal over in Riverton.
-
waitress part-time, wants to go to a nursing school..i don't know...
-
What about you and Lureen?
-
lureen's good at makin' hard deals in the machinery business, but so far as our marriage goes, we could do it over the phone.
-
Kinda have this thing going with the ranch foreman's wife....
-
I kinda got a thing goin' with a ranch foreman's wife over in Childress.
-
expect to get shot by lureen or the husband one, ever' time i slip off to see her.
-
Ha ha, you probably deserve it....
-
Tell you what...truth is...sometimes I miss you so much I can hardly stand it.
-
Guess I'll head on up to Lightnin' Flats. See the folks for a day or two.
-
There's been something I've been meaning to tell you bud.
-
It's likely November before I can get away again, after we ship stock and before winter feedin' starts.
-
November? What in Hell happened to August?!
-
Christ, Ennis, you had a f**kin' week to some little word about this.
-
Why is it that we're always in the friggin' cold? We should go south where it's warm. We out to go to Mexico.
-
Mexico?
Hell....you know me. 'Bout all the travelin' I ever done is goin' around the coffeepot, lookin' for the handle.
-
Lighten up on me Jack. We can hunt in November. Kill us a nice elk. I'll try if I can to get Don Wroe's cabin again. We had a good time that year, didn't we?
-
There's never enough time; never enough.
-
You know friend, this is a GD bitch of an unsatisfactory situation.
-
You used to come away easy; now it's like seeing the pope.
-
Jack, I got to work. Them earlier days I used to quit the jobs. (I just reread the SS today and Annie makes a point of saying how after the divorce, for a while Ennis would just head on out whenever Jack wanted. Something I missed before.)
-
You forget what it's like - being broke all the time.
-
You ever heard of child support?
-
Let me tell ya - I can't quit this one. And I can't get the time off.
-
Was tough enough getting this itme. The trade off was August.
-
You got a better idea?
-
I did, once. :(
-
You did once.
-
You been to Mexico, Jack? I heard about what they got in Mexico for boys like you...
-
Hell yes I been to Mexico. Is that a f*ckin problem?!
-
I'm gonna tell you thsi one time, Jack f--kin Twist, and I ain't foolin...What I don't know, all them THINGS that I don't know, could get you killed if I come to know them. I ain't jokin.
-
Try this one, and i'll say it just one time.
-
Go ahead
-
Tell you what, we could had a good life together, fu**in' real good life, had us a place of our own. You woulnd't wanted it, Ennis, so what we got now, is brokeback mountain.
-
Everything's built on that. That's all we got boy, f--kin all! So I hope you know that if you don't never know the rest.
-
Count the damn few times we been together in nearly 20 years..
-
You measure the short f--kin leash you keep me on and then you ask me about Mexico, and you tell me you'll kill me for needin somethin that I don't hardly never get
-
You have no idea how bad it gets.
:\'(
-
I'm not you, I can't make it on a coupla high-altitude f--ks once or twice a year
-
You are too much for me. Ennis, you son of a whoreson bitch.
-
I wish I knew how to quit you..!
-
Then why don't you, why don't you just let me be?
-
It's because a you Jack that I'm like this
-
I'm nothin', i'm nowhere..
:\'(
-
OUUHHH... :\'(
-
Get the f**k off me!
-
Come here, it's all right, it's all right.. Damn you Ennis..
:\'( :\'(
-
I can't stand this anymore, Jack...
-
Come on now, you're sleepin' on your feet like a horse.
-
My mama used to say that to me when I was little. And sing to me...
-
I got to go.
-
See ya in the morning
-
Hey Ennis del Mar, where you been?
-
Here and there
-
I left word for you with Steve at the ranch.
-
But you musta got those notes I left at your place
-
Looks like i got the message in any case.
-
Carl? Yeah, Carl's nice. He even talks.
-
good for you.
-
Yeah, well, good for me.
-
yeah, good for me.
-
I was probably no fun anyways.
-
Oh, ennis..girls don't fall in love with fun.
-
I don't get you, Ennis Del Mar
I was probably no fun anyways.
-
Oh, Ennis, girls don't fall in love with fun!
-
Hello?
-
Uh, hello, this is Ennis del Mar, i uh...
-
Who? Who is this?
-
Ennis del Mar, i'm old buddy of Jack's. I...
-
Jack used to mention you. You're the fishin' buddy, or the huntin' buddy, I know that.
-
Would have let you know, but wasn't sure about your name or address.
-
Jack kept his friends addresses in his head.
-
Why i was callin, to see what happened..
-
Oh yeah. Jack was pumping up a flat on the truck out on a back road when the tire blew up. :(
-
The rim of the tire slammed into his face and broke his nose and jaw...
:\'( :\'(
-
And knocked him unconscious on his back
-
By the time somebody came along, he had drowned in his own blood. :\'( :\'(
-
Terrible thing, he was only 39 years old.
-
Hello?
-
...Hello!?....
(Here we all kneel in memory of the Passion of Jack Twist)
Erhhh...Is he buried down there?
-
We put a stone up. He was cremated like he wanted and half his ashes was interred here.
-
The other half was sent up to his folks.
-
He used to say he wanted his ashes scattered on Brokeback Mountain but I wasn't sure where that was.
-
Thought Brockeback Mountain mighta been around where he grew up
-
Knowing Jack, it might be some pretend place, where bluebirds sing and there's a whiskey spring.
-
No maam, we was herdin sheep up on Brokeback one summer, back in '63.
-
Oh..
-
I thought it was a place where he liked to get drunk...he drank a lot.
-
His folks still up in Lightnin' Flat?
-
Be there till the day they die.
-
Thank you for your time then. I am sure sorry. We was good friends.
-
Call his folks... I'm sure they'd appreciate it... About the ashes I mean :\'(
-
Want a cup of coffee, don't you? Piece of cherry cake?
-
I'll have a cuppa coffee, but I can't eat no cake right now, thank you.
-
I feel awful bad about Jack...can't begin to tell you how bad I feel.
-
He was a good friend. I known him a long time.
-
i come to say that if you want me to take his ashes up there on brokeback like his wife said he wanted, i'd be proud to.
-
Tell you what. I know where brokeback mountain is.
-
he thought he was too goddamn special to be buried in the family plot.
-
Jack used to say, Ennis del Mar, he used to say..
-
I'm gonna bring him up here
-
One of these days and we'll lick this damn ranch into shape.
-
He had some half-baked notion
-
the two of you was going move here, build a cabin, help run the place..
-
Then this spring he's gonna bring another feller up here
-
with him and build a place and help run the ranch, some ranch neighbour a his from down in texas
-
But like most of Jack's ideas nothin ever come of it
-
But like most of Jack's ideas nothin ever come of it
Uh Oh
I forgot
He's gonna split up with his wife and come back here. So he says. But, like most of Jack's ideas nothing ever come of it.
-
i kept his room like it was when he was a boy.
-
You are welcome to go up to his room if you like
-
i'd like that ma'am, thank you.
-
*sighing* "I love you" :\'(
-
Ennis comes downstairs carrying the two shirts.
John Twist says, Tell you what, we got a family plot and he's going in it.
-
yes, sir.
-
You come back now and visit :\'( :\'(
-
Ma'am. Thank you for this.
-

Lets start over again...
Shit!
-
if you pair of deuces are lookin for work, i suggest you get your scrawny asses in here, pronto.
-
Forest Service got designated campsites on the allotments.
-
them camps can be three or four miles from where we pasture the woollies.
-
Bad predators loss if there's nobody lookin' after 'em at night.
-
now what i want is a camp tender in the main camp where the forest service says, but the herder...
-
... pitch up a pup tent on the Q.T. with the sheep and he's goin' to sleep there.
-
eat your supper, breakfast in camp, but you sleep with the sheep, hundred percent, no fire, don't leave no sign.
-
You roll up that tent every mornin' case Forest Service snoops around.
-
yeah? no. no.
not on your fu**in' life.
-
You got your dogs, your 30/30, sleep there.
-
Last summer I had GD near 25% loss. I don't want that again.
-
You..fridays at noon to by down the bridge with a grocery list and mules
-
somebody with supplies will be there at the pick-up.
-
tomorrow mornin' we'll truck you up to the jump-off
-
jack twist.
-
ennis
-

-

-
nice to know you, ennis del mar.
:)
-
my second year up here :*(
-
last year one storm the lightnin' killed 42 sheep (https://ennisjack.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi79.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fj145%2FHanna-123%2FAnims%2FSchaf.gif&hash=a7e43e8244503a6c5259ffad124a9d736eedbda9)
-
Thought I'd asphyxiate from the smell.
-
aguirre got all over my ass like i'm supposed to control the weather.
-
Sure beats working for my old man. Can't please my old man.
-
that's why I took to rodeoin'.you ever rodeo?
-
yeah, when I got a entry fee in my pocket
-
Are you from ranch people?
-
Was.
-
Did your folks run you off?
-
No, they run themselves off.
-
There was one curve in 43 miles, and they missed it.
-
Killed them both.
-
Bank took the ranch, and my brother and sister raised me mostly.
-
Shit. That's hard.
-
Don’t never order soup. Them boxes a soup are real bad to pack.
-
Well, I don't eat soup
-
Hey, you want to watch it there. That horse has got a low startle point.
-
I doubt there's a filly that can throw me...
-
Let's get, 'less you wanna stand around and ties knots all day.
-
Sh*t. I can't wait until I get my own spread so I don't have to put up with Joe Aguirre's crap no more.
-
i'm savin' for a place myself.
-
Me and Alma, we'll be gettin' married when I come down off this mountain.
-
shit, that stay with the sheep, no fire, bullshit.
-
Aguirre got no right to make us do something against the rules...
(by the way, love that sheep icon Hanna ;) )
-
:^^)
no more beans!
-
F*ck!
-
something wrong?
-
Where's the powdered milk'n the spuds?
-
that's all we got.
-
Here's next week's
-
thought you didn't eat soup.
-
Sick of beans
-
Too early in the summer to be sick of beans.
-
Come back here, you sons-a-bitches!
-
shit!
-
Where the hell you been?
-
Up with the sheep all day, I get down here, hungry as hell and all I find is beans.
-
What in the Hell happened Ennis?
-
come on a bear.
-
Goddam horse sppoked, the mules took off.
-
scattered food everywhere.
-
Beans 'bout all we got left
-
have no whiskey or somethin'?
-
Well we got to do something about this food situation. Maybe I'll shoot one of the sheep.
-
We're supposed to guard the sheeps, not eat 'em
-
what's the matter with you?
-
There's a thousand of 'em.
-
I'll stick with beans
-
well, i won't.
-
Whoo-whee! Yeah!
-
Was gettin' tired of your dumb ass missin'
-
let's get a move on.
-
Don't want the Game and Fish cath us with no deer
-
I'm commutin' four hours a day.
-
Come in for breakfast, go back to the sheep
-
evenin' get 'em bedded down, come in for supper.. ^*)
-
...get back to the sheep, spend half the night checkin' for damn coyotes. Aguirre got no right to make me do this.
-
you wanna switch?
-
I wouldn't mind sleepin' out there.
-
That ain't the point
-
I spend half the night checking for damn coyotes
The good one is:
Ain't the point
-
That ain't the point. Point is, we both should be in this camp...
-
and that goddamn pup tent smells like cat piss or worse.
-
And that goddam pup tnet smells like cat piss or worse ;)
-
I wouldn't mind being out there
-
Well' I'm happy to swich with you
-
Happy to switch, but give you warnin', I can't cook worth a dam
-
I'm pretty good with a can opener though ;)
-
Can't be no worse than me, then.
-
won't get much sleep, tell you that.
-
yup.
-
I know...
-
Shot a coyote, big son of a bitch, balls on him size a apples.
-
shot a big coyote, big son of a bitch, balls on him seize a apples.
-
Looks like he could eat a camel
-
You want some of this hot water?
-
It' s all yours
-
Well, I'm gonna wash everything I can reach
-
don't rodeo much myself.
-
What's the point on riding some piece of stock for 8 seconds?
-
money's a good point.
-
sure 'nuff
-
Yup. If you don't get stomped winning it
-
my old man was a bullrider, pretty well known in his day, though he kept his secrets to himself.
-
never taught me a thing... never once come to see me ride...
-
your brother and sister do right by you?
-
They did the best they could, after my folks was gone, considering they didn't leave us nothin but $24 and a coffee can
-
got me a year a high school before the transmission went on the pickup.
-
my sis left, married a roughneck, moved to casper.. me and my brother got work on a ranch up near Worland until I was 19
-
then my brother got married
-
no room for me.
-
and, that's how me end up here
-
..what?
-
Friend, that's more words than you said in the past two weeks
-
Hell, that's more i've spoke in a year.
-
My dad was a fine roper
-
he never rodeo that much
-
thought rodeo cowboys was all f***-ups.
-
The hell they are.
-
the hell no!
-
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeee-HAAAAAAWWWWWWW
-
Burn his guts out, wavin to the girls in the stands...
-
But he don't jackboard me
-
No wayy, yeeehaaaawww
-
I think my daddy was right.
-
Tent don't look right
-
the tent won't go nowwher let it be
-
that harmonica don't sound right either
-
it got kinda flat when that mare threw me
-
i thought you said that she was not able to throw you
-
she got lucky
-
well if I'd a got lucky, that harmonica woulda broke in two
-
I know I shall meet you on that final day. Water Walkin' Jesus, take me awaaaaaaaay! $)
-
Very good.
-
my mama she believes in the penthecostal
-
what exactly is the pentecost? My folks, they was methodists.
-
The Pentecost...? I don't know, I don't know what the Pentecost is. Mama never explained it to me.
-
I guess it's when the world ends and fellas like you and me march off to hell....
-
Speak for yerself. You may be a sinner, but I ain't yet had the opportunity
-
Shit! I'm going to go up to the sheep now.
-
give em hell!
-
Wa'...I guess them...it's too late to go up to them sheep
-
You got an extra blanket I'll roll up out here and grab 40 winks, ride out at first light...
-
Freeze your ass off when that fire dies down...You're better off sleepin in the tent...All right
-
ennis
-
Quit your hammerin' and get in here (My line.. O0)
-
what are you doin?
-
See you for supper.
-
this is a one shot thing we got going here
-
It's nobody's business but ours.
-
you know I aint queer
-
Me neither.
-
[Depending on what you believe in]
It's alright... It's alright... (screenplay)
[OR]
I'm sorry... It's alright...
-
[ I'll omit what I think I hear Jake say in this scene!]
Twist, your Uncle Harold's in the hospital with pneumonia.
-
The doctor said he might not make it...
-
Bad news.
-
But there ain't nothin I can do about it up here I guess
-
Nothing you can do about down there neither, unless you can cure pneumonia
-
aw, hell!
-
Those sheep will drift if I don't get up there tonight!
-
You'd get pitched off your horse even if you try (or something to that effect...) *^)
-
close it up!
-
So what're we supposed to do now huh?
-
get on in there... untangle them chilean sheep from ours, i guess (https://ennisjack.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi79.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fj145%2FHanna-123%2FAnims%2FSchaf.gif&hash=a7e43e8244503a6c5259ffad124a9d736eedbda9)
;)
-
So, late in the season the damn paint brand wore off.
-
we gotta try, at least we can get the count right for aguirre.
-
F**k Aguirre!
-
f*** aguirre? what if we need to work for him again?
-
We gotta stick this out, Jack.
-
You'll run them sheep off again if you don't quiet down.. ;D
-
what're you doin'?
-
Aguirre came by again.
-
says my uncle didn't die after all.
-
Says bring 'em down.
-
Says bring 'em down
-
Why? It's the middle of August... ^*)
-
says there's a another storm comin', movin' in from the pacific.
-
Worse than this one.
-
The snow barely stuck an hour
-
Besides, the sonofabitch is cutting us of a whole month's pay.
-
it ain't right.
-
I can spare you a loan, bud..
-
.. if you're short on cash...
-
Well, bud, I could spare you a loan when we get back down to Signal...
-
I don't need your money. I ain't in the poorhouse! :X
-
all right..
-
Time to get goin' Cowboy.
-
This ain't no rodeo, Cowboy
-
Some of these never went up there with you.
-
****we missed****
oh Ennis!
-
Some of these never went up there with you.
Count ain't what I'd hope for neither. You ranch stiffs. You ain't never no good.
-
Give it some gas.
-
..can't believe i left my damn shirt up there...
-
You gonna do this again next summer?
( i always wanted to say that :) )
-
maybe not.
-
Like i said..
-
Like I said me and Alma's getting married in November.
-
be tryin' to get somethin' on a ranch i guess.
-
And you?
-
May go up and help my dad with the ranch this winter... I may be back...? If the army don't get me.
-
Well, see you around, I guess.
-
Right.
-
what the f*** you're lookin' at, huh?
-
...and forgive our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
-
lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
-
You may kiss the bride now, and if you don't I will! Hehehehe.
-
for thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory, forever.
Amen.
..under the power that is vested in me, i now pronounce you man and wife..
You may kiss the bride now, and if you don't I will! Hehehehe.
you all right?
-
for thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory, forever.
Amen.
..under the power that is vested in me, i now pronounce you man and wife..
You may kiss the bride now, and if you don't I will! Hehehehe.

So I jumped the gun! :8 :8 :8
-
my old lady's tryin' to get me to quit this job, says i'm gettin' too old to be breakin' my back shovelling asphalt.
-
I tell her, strong backs, weak minds run in my family... hahahaha ^*()
-
didn't think that was too funny; I told her it keeps me fit.
-
*knock knock* Yea!?
-
well, look what the wind blew in..
-
Hello Mr. Aguirre.
-
wonderin' if you was needin' any help this summer?
-
You're wasting your time here, Twist. Ain't no work for you here :X
-
you ain't got nothin? nothing up on brokeback?
-
I ain't got no work for you.
-
Ennis Del Mar ain't been around?
-
You boys sure found a way to make the time pass up there.
-
Twist, you boys wasn't getting paid to let the dogs babysit the sheep while you stemmed the rose.
-
How my girls doin'?
-
All right. Jenny's still got a runny nose.
-
Could you wipe Alma Jr's nose?
-
I could if I had three hands.
-
girls all right?
-

-
Ennis, I know you'd like it too. A real home.
-
other kids for the girls to play with.
-
Not so lonely like you were raised.
-

Give 'em a hand folks, our very own rodeo clowns!
-
You know that girl?
-
I sure do. Lureen Newsome.
-
Dad sells farm equipment
-
big stuff like 100 thousand dollar tractor and sh**
-
What're you waitin' for, cowboy? A matin' call? ::)
-
You don't think I'm too fast, do you? Maybe we should put the brakes on?
-
Fast or slow, I just like the direction you're going in.
-
You are in a hurry!
-
my daddy's in hurry, expects me home with the car by midnight.
-
Hey Monroe.

Thanks.
-
hi honey! what're you all doing here?
-
In a big hurry.

my boss called, got to run up to the ranch...all the heifers must have decided to calve at the same time.
-
Thought i could drop the girls with you.
-
ennis, i got a million things to do here before i can leave.
-
I don't get off for another three hours.
-
Mama, I need crayons . . .
-

-
I can't afford not to be there when the heifers calve. Be my job if I lose any of them.
-
what about my job?
-
Oh all right--I'll call my sister; maybe she can keep them until I get off.
-
I'll probably be half the night. Bring home some round steak if you think of it.
-
Monroe, I am so sorry.
-
it's okay, alma, it's okay!
-
I'll get it.
-
Honey, I got a surprise for you.

-
Is he somebody you cowboyed with?
Jack rodeos mostly
(Correction)
We was fishing buddies.
Maybe we coud get a baby sitter, take your friend tothe knife and fork?

Ennis?
-
if you could pick me up a pack of...
-
Alma, you want smokes there's some in the pocket of my blue shirt in the bedroom
-
:\'( :\'( :\'(
Damn, four years.
-
Four years.
-
Didn't think I'd hear from you.
-
figured you was sore about that punch.
-
That next summer, I drove back up to Brokeback, talked to Aguire 'bout a job.
-
told me you hadn't been back there, so i left.
-
Went down to Texas for rodeoin' - how I met Lureen. Made $2000 that year bullridin' - nearly starved.
-
lureen's old man makes serious money, farm maschine business.
-
Course he hates my f**ckin guts
-
army didn't get you?
-
Nope, too busted up.
-
and rodeo ain't what is was in my daddy's time.
-
Rodeoing ain't like it was in my daddy's day
-
...nope...
-
Got out while I could still walk
-
Swear to God I didn't know we was going to get into this again.
-
Yes, I did...
-
Redlined it all the way - couldn't get here fast enough
-
What about you?
-
what about you?
-
Me, I don't know
-
old brokeback got us good dont it
-
What are we going to do now?
-
dont think theres anything we can do
-
I doubt there's nothin' we can do.
-
I'm stuck with what I got here. :(
-
making a living's about all I got time for now.
-
Makin' a livin's about all I got for now. :(
-
Me and Jack's heading up to the mountains for a day or two.
-
Do a little fishin'.
-
You know, your friend could come inside, have a cup of coffee. . .
-
Well, he's from Texas...
-
texans dont drink coffee?
-
What, Texans don't drink coffee?
-
You sure that foreman won't fire you for taking off?
-
You know, that foreman, he owes me one. I worked through that blizzard last winter, you remember that? Besides, I'm only gonna be gone for a few days...
-
That foreman, he owes me.
-
I worked through a blizzard last christmas, do you remember that?
-
Besides, I'm only gonna be gone for a few days
-
Besides, I'll be only a couple of days
-
Bring me a big fish, Daddy, a big fish.
-
Come here.
-
See you ladies on Sunday.
-
Wanna get somethin' to eat? I'm starvin'
-
Yeah . . .
-
Last one in.
-
Anything interesting up there in Heaven?
-
I'm just giving up a prayer of thanks.... <^(
-
For what?
-
For you forgettin' to bring that harmonica - I'm enjoying the peace 'n' quiet :)
-
you know it could be like this, just like this always.
-
Yeah? How you figure that?
-
What if you and me had a little ranch together somewhere, little cow and calf operation, it'd be some sweet life.
-
I mean, you bet Lureen's old man would give me a downpayment to get lost - he more or less already said it
-
I already told you it aint gonna be that way
-
You know, you got your wife and baby in Texas and, you know, I got my life in Riverton
-
That so? You and Alma; that's a life?
-
You shut up about Alma - this ain't her fault
-
The bottom line is, we're around each other, and this thing grabs hold of us again in the wrong place, at the wrong time, we're dead.
-
There was these two old guys ranched together down home, Earl and Rich. They was a joke in town, even though they was pretty tough old birds. They found Earl dead in a irrigation ditch. They'd took a tire iron to him, spurred him up, drug him around by his dick till it pulled off........ :X :\'(
-
You seen this?
-
I was what, 9 years old? My daddy made sure me an' my brother seen it. Hell, for all I know, he done the job...
-
Two guys living together,no way
-
We can get together once in a while, way the hell out in the middle a nowhere, but...
-
Once in a while?
-
Every four fu**in' years?
-
Well, if you can't fix it, Jack, you gotta stand it
-
For how long?
-
As long as we can ride it..
-
Ain't no reins on this one
:\'(
(OT - how ironic that I get to do that line ;D)
-
Supper's on the stove.
-
no one's eatin' it unless you're servin' it, alma!
-
I already promised I'd take the extra shift! :X
-
well tell him you made a fu**in' mistake!
-
Alma! Alma! ... You girls need a push or something? :8
-
Nooo... (that's so sweet,I have to smile everytime..)
-
didn't that piss-ant used to ride bulls?
-
He usta try
-
Honey, you seen my blue parka?
-
last time i seen it you was in it...that day we had that big ice storm
-
I swear I left it in here...
-
you know, you been going up to wyoming all these years. why can't your buddy come down here to texas and fish?
-
Because the Big Horn mountains ain't in Texas
-
Doubt his truck would make it this far anyways.
-
new models coming in this week, remember... and you're the best combine salesman we got... the only combine salesman in fact.
-
Yeah, well I'll be back in a week
-
That is, I will be unless I freeze and I might freeze unless I find that parka.
-
i don't have your goddamn parka.
-
Well, I don't have your damn parka
-
You're worse than Bobby when it comes to losing stuff.
-
speaking of bobby, did you call the school back yet about getting him a tutor?
-
I tought you were gonna call
-
i've complained too much, the teacher don't like me, now it's your turn.
-
Alright, I'll do it later

You forgot ..all the scene at Ennis's house..church picnic etc....are'nt forgettin' something?
-
You be good for your mama.
-
Ennis, they got an opening over at the power company. Might be good pay.
-
Uh, you know me, clumsy as I am, I'd probably get electrocuted or somethin'
-

It's all your, Bobby, it's all yours.
-
This is the hard part ,gentelman,yuo're not gonna get that with your Caddy
-
Hey, didn't that pisssant used to ride the bulls?
-
He used to try.
-
It's Saturday night, we could still smarten up and head over to the church social.
-
That fire and brimstone crowd?
-
i think it'd be nice...
-
As far behind as we are on the bills, it makes me nervous not to take no precautions . . .
-
You don't want no more a my kids, I'll be happy to leave you alone
-
I'd have 'em if you'd support 'em . . .
-
...custody of the two minor children, alma jr. and jenny, is awarded to plaintiff.
edit: defendant is ordered to pay children support to the plaintiff in the sum of 125 dollars a month, for each of the minor children until they reach the age of 18 years..

-
You heard your mama.
-
You finish your meal, then you can watch TV %(
-

-
Hell, we don't eat with our eyes.... You want your boy to grow up to be a man don't you, daughter... Boys should watch football
-
Like hell,he's gonna finish eatin' a meal that his mama take 3 hours fixin'
-
Now you sit down you old sonnofabitch! This is my house, this is my child, and you're my guest! Now sit down before I knock your ignorant ass into next week!!!! (I love these lines ;) )
-
daddy, tell about when you rode broncs in the rodeo.
-
short story honey.
-
only 'bout three seconds i was on that bronc, an' the next thing i knew i was flyin' through the air.
-
only I wasnt no angel like you and jenny here, I didnt have no angels wings.
-
and that's the story of my saddle bronc career.
-
you oughta get married again ennis.
-
me and the girls worry about you bein' alone so much.
-
once burned
-
you still go fishin' with jack twist?
-
Not often, why?
-
You know I always wondered why you didn't bring any trouts home.
-
You know how me and the girls like fish.
-
So one night I got your cradle case open the night before you went on one of your little trips
-
Price tag still on it after five years. And I tied a note to the end of the line.
-
You didn't go up there to fish!
-
Listen to me, you dont know nothin' about it
-
You didn't go up there to fish!
Oops, forgot "It said, "hello, Ennis, bring some fish home, love, Alma..." ...and then you come back lookin' all perky and said you'd caught a bunch of browns and ate them up, do you remember?....I looked in the case first chance I got and there was my note still tied there.
That don't mean nothin', alma...
Don't try to fool me no more Ennis. I know what it means... Jack Twist? Jack Nasty!...
-
I'm going to yell for Monroe
-
Daddy....daddy!!
-
bye daddy, bye
-
Hey, asshole, watch where you're goin'
-
all i'm sayin' is, what's the point to makin' it? if the taxes don't get it, the inflation eats it all up.
-
You and Lureen, it's normal and all?
-
Sure.
-
and she don't ever suspect?
-
You ever get the feeling, i don't know, when you're in town, and someone looks at you, suspicious..like he knows.
-
and then you get out on the pavement, and everyone lookin' at you, and maybe they all know too?
-
Maybe it's time you moved outta there.
-
move to some place different, maybe Texas
-
You know, find a place someplace else... like Texas...
-
Texas?
-
Sure, and maybe you'll convince Alma to let you and Lureen adopt my girls...
-
And it'll rain money from LD Newsome...
-
And whiskey'll flow in the streams...
-
That's real smart, Jack!
-
Go to hell Ennis Delmar!
-
You want to live your miserable fu**in' life, go right ahead.
-
fine
-
I was just thinking out loud.
-
yep youre a real thinkker there
-
Yeah, that Jack Twist, he's got it all figured out, ain't you?
-
just finished my shift. wanna dance?
-
Um... I was just about to leave...
-
i'm cassie. cassie cartwright.
-
Ennis.... Del Mar
-
no more dancin' for me, i hope.
-
You're safe... My feet hurt.
-
hard work, is it?
-
....servin' drunks like you, demanding beer after beer....
-
it gets tiring
-
So what do you do...Ennis Del Mar?
-
well earlier today, i was castrating calves.
-
what're you doin'?
-
Trying to get a foot rub, dummy.
-
alright... is that good?
-
Then I pledged Tri-Delt at SMU,I sure never thought...
bla bla bla bla bla
-
That i'd end up in a pokey little place like childress
-
Blah, blah, blah, like it or not, here I am
-
Blah blah blah...we might just have to dance with each other Lureen
-
Our husbands ain't in the least bit interested in dancing! Ain't got a smidgeon of rhythm between them
-
It's funny, ain't it?
-
Husbands don't ever wanna dance with their wives... Why is that Jack?
-
ain't never give it a thought...
-
Wanna dance?
-
Do you mind?
-
Well, thank you for asking me to dance... blah blah blah....
-
I really appreciate that, i really do... Blah blah blah...
-
You ever notice how a woman will powder her nose before a party and then powder it again just to go home and go to bed? ^*()
-
I mean, why powder your nose just to go home and go to sleep? ^o
-
Don't know. Even if I wanted to know, couldn't get a word in with Lashawn long enough to ask.
-
She's a lively little gal
-
You'll like working for Roy Taylor
-
He's a good ole boy
-
He's got a little cabon down on Lake Kemp.
-
cabin, even.
-
We should go there sometime. Do a little fishing. Get away. You know....
(Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo)
-
...when i was right out of SMU. blablablablablabla..
-
I coulda had my pick of pretty much any job in North Dallas... Blablablabla *^) *^)
-
ok, that's enough lashawn :`)
hey there junior, you ready?
-
What do you think?
-
your daddy ever gonna see fit to settle down again?
-
Don't know.
-
maybe daddy's not the marrying kind.
-
You don't think so?
-
or you don't think i'm the one for him?
-
You'ree good enough.
-
you don't talk much, but you get your point across.
-
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be rude.
-
c'mon cowboy, you just stayin' on your feet.
-
I'll pick you and Jenny up next weekend after church.
-
fine.
-
You all right?
-
yes.
-
Sure?
-
daddy. i was thinking, what with the new baby and all..
-
Ma and Monroe, they've been awful strict on me.
-
Stricter on me even than Jenny
-
I was thinking, maybe i could come stay with you, daddy..
-
i'd be a big help to you, i know i would.
-
Now honey, you know I ain't really set up for that.
-
And with the roundup coming, i won't ever be home.
-
it's okay daddy.
-
Well,you know,I'm not sayin' I wouldn't...
-
No, it's all right, i understand.
-
I'll pick you and Jenny up next Sunday...
-
Bye
-
It's gonna snow tonight for sure
-
All this time, and you ain't found no one else to marry?
-
I been puttin' the blocks to a pretty little gal in Riverton. Waitress, wants to go to nursin' school or somethin'. Ahdunno....
-
what about you and Lureen?
-
everything normal and all?
-
Lureen is good at making hard deals in the farm machinery business, but as far as our marriage goes, we can do it over the phone.
-
I kinda got a thing goin' with a ranch foreman's wife over in childress.
-
I keep expecting to get shot by Lureen or the husband, one, everytime I slip off to see her.
-
*laughs* youd probably deserve'd
-
Tell you what, the truth is, sometimes I miss you so much I can hardly stand it.
-
guess I'll head on up to lighnin' flat.
-
spend a day or two visiting my folks
-
There's something I've been meaning to tell you, bud...
-
It's most likely November before I can come out here again.
-
November? What in the hell ever happened to August Ennis?
-
Christ, Ennis, you had a f**cking week to say some little word about this.
-
Why is it that we're always in the friggin' cold?
-
We should go someplace south, like Mexico
-
mexico? .. hell, you know me..
-
About the only travelin' I do is around the coffee pot looking for the handle.
-
Lighten up on me Jack. We can go hunting in November. Kill us a nice Elk. I'll try if I can to get Don Wroe's cabin again. We had a good time that year, didn't we?
-
There's never enough time, never enough...
-
you know, friend, this is a goddamn bitch of a unsatisfactory situation.
-
You used to come away easy.
-
now it's like seein' the pope.
-
Jack, i got to work.
-
You forget what it's like to be broke all the time...
-
you ever hear of child support?
-
In them earlier days, I would just quit the job.
-
Lemmie tell you, I can't quit this one. And I can't get the time off. Was tough enough gettin' this time. The trade off is August.... You got a better idea?
-
I did once... :\'(
-
You did once..have you been in Mexico,Jack Twist?
-
'Cos I know what they got in Mexico for boys like you
-
hell yes, I been to mexico. is that a fu**in' problem?
-
I'm going to tell you this one time, Jack F****in Twist. The things I don't know. All them things I don't know, would get you killed if I come to know them. I ain't jokin'.
-
oh yeah, well listen to this, and I'll say it just once- we could've had a good life together, a !@#$ real good life, have us a place of our own....but you didn't want it ennis, so all we got now is BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, that's all we got boy, f****** all, so I hope you know that if you don't ever know the rest.
( sorry for getting carried away guys, but this all just seems like one big emotional line....I started tiping and I just couldn't stop )
-
You count the damn few times we been together in nearly 20 years and you measure the short f*ckin' leash you keep me on, then you ask me about Mexico and tell me you'll kill me for needin' somethin' I don't hardly never get....
(Same apology as Koka!)
-
You have no idea how bad it gets, and I'm not you, I can't make it on a couple of high-altitude f**** once or twice a year....
:\'( :\'( :\'(
-
You have no idea how bad it gets! And I'm not you - I can't make it on a couple o' high altitude f*cks once or twice a year!
(ditto)

You are too much for me Ennis, you sonofawhoresonbitch.....I wish I knew how to quit you.

Was he buried down there? :\'( :\'( :\'(
-
we put a stone up, he got cremated like he wanted.....
-
and half of his ashes was interred here, the rest I sent up with his folks.
-
he said he wanted his ashes scattered on Brokeback Mountain.
-
but I wasn't sure where that was.
-
knowing Jack that might be some pretend place- where bluebirds sing and there's a whisky spring
:\'(
-
no ma'am, we herded sheep up on brokeback back in 63.
-
Well, he said it was his favorite place. I thought he meant to get drunk. He drank a lot
-
his folks still up in lightnin' flat?
-
They'll be there till the day they die.
-
thanks for your time, then... I sure am sorry.. we was good friends..
-
Get in touch with his folks...
-
I suppose they'd appreciate it if his wishes was carried out.
-
..About the ashes I mean.
-
Have a cup of coffee won't you? Piece of cherry cake?
-
Yes, ma'am, I'll have a cup of coffee, but I can't eat no cake just now
-
I feel awful bad about Jack, can't begin to tell you how bad I feel. I knew him a long time
-
I come by to say that if you want me to take his ashes up there on Brokeback like his wife said he wanted, I'd be proud to.
-
Tell you what, I know where BBM is.
-
he thought he was too goddamn special to be buried in the family plot.
-
Jack used to say, "Ennis Del Mar" he used to say, "I'm gon bring him up here one of these days and we'll lick this damn ranch into shape"
-
he had some halfbaked notion the two a you was goin' a move up here, build a cabin, help run the place.
-
Then this spring he's got another fella gonna come up here. Some ranch neighbour of his from down in Texas
-
but like most of Jack's ideas....
-
it never come to pass.
-
I kept his room like it was when he was a boy. I think he appreciated that.
-
you are welcome to go up in his room, if you want.
-
i'd like that. Thank you :-\\
-
tell you what, we got a family plot and he's goin in it :\'(
-
Go up stairs
See window
Sit
See Closet
(words don't do justice...will leave it at that...)
-
Yes, Sir.
-
you'll come back and see us again...
-
Thank you for this.... :\'(
-
Hey Junior (I think...)
-
hey daddy!
-
Nice car, is it yours?
-
No, it's Kurt's
-
Kurt? I thought you was seeing Troy?
-
Daddy, that was two years ago...I'm seeing Kurt now.
-
Troy still playing baseball?
-
I don't know what Troy's doing...I'm seeing Kurt now
-
and what does Kurt do?
-
He works out in the oil fields
-
Oh, he's a roughneck
-
Well, you're 19, I guess you can do what you like, huh?
-
Then this spring he's gotanother fella's goin' a come up here with him andhelp run the ranch, some ranch neighbor a his from down in Texas.

-
.... to Alma & Kurt
-
Alma drives away. Ennis finds the sweater Jurnior accidently left behind
Ennis folds the sweater, kisses it and places it on a shelf in his closet.
Ennis looks at the two shirts and the postcard tacked to the closet door
Ennis touches the two shirts hanging from a nail and says
"Jack, I Swear...."
-
THE END :\'(
-
So, let's start again...
It's early morning
Ennis Del Mar is leaning against Joe Aguirre's trailer.
Jack Twist drives up in his truck. Jack gets out of the truck, slams the door, kicks the truck and says:
"S**t!"
-
You pair of deuces lookin' for work, I suggest you get your scrawny asses in here pronto.
-
Joe Aguirre: Now, up on Brokeback the Forest Service got designated campsites on the allotments
-
them camps can be 3, 4 miles from where we pasture the whoollies.
-
Bad predator loss, nobody near 'em at night
-
now what I want is a camp tender in the main camp where the forest service says, but the herder...
-
he's gonna pitch a pup tent on the q.t. and sleep with the sheep
-
eat your supper and breakfast in camp, but you sleep with the sheep, hundred percent, no fire, don't leave no sign.
-
Roll up that tent every morning in case Forest Service comes around
-
*Ring, Ring* Yeah?
-
No!
-
No!
-
Not on your f*ckin life!
-
You got your dogs, your 30-30, you sleep there
-
Last summer I had g*dd*mn near 25% loss. I don't want that again.
-
You - Fridays at noon be down at the bridge with your grocery list and mules
-
Somebody with supplies will be there at the pick-up.
-
Tomorrow morning we'll truck you up to the jump off
-
Jack Twist.
-
Ennis
-
Your folks just stop at Ennis?
-
Del Mar
-
Nice to know you, Ennis Del Mar.
-
My 2nd year up here
-
Last year a lightnin' storm killed 43 (?) of the sheep - thought I'd asphyxiate from the smell
-
Aguirre got all over my ass like I was supposed to control the weather
-
But, beats workin' for my old man. Can't please my old man, no way.
-
That's why I took to rodeo. You ever rodeo?
-
Well, you know, once in a while, when I got the entry fee in my pocket....
-
You from ranch people?
-
Yeah, I was
-
Your folks run you off?
-
Nah, they run themselves off. One curve in the road in 42 miles an' they missed it
-
Bank took the ranch, and brother and sister, they raised me mostly
-
Shit. That's hard.
-
Can I...?
-
One thing,don't ever order soup
-
Them soup boxes is hard to pack
-
I dont eat soup
-
that horse looks like it's got a low startle point
-
doubt theres a philly that can throw me
-
Let's get. Less you want to stand around tyin' knots all day.
-
shit. can't wait 'til I got my own spread, won't have to put up with joe aguirre's crap no more.
-
Yeah, I'm saving for a place myself. Me and Alma's getting married when I come down off this mountain.
-
Shit, that stay with the sheep, no fire bullshit.
-
aguirre's got no right makin us do somethin against the rules
-
No more beans!
-
Sh*t!
-
So....why didn't we get the powdered milk and the spuds?
-
That's all we got
-
Well....here's next week's list
-
I thought you didn't like soup
-
Well, I'm sick of beans
-
Its too early in the summer to be sick of beans
-
Where the hell you been?
-
Up with the sheep all day, I get down here, hungryas hell and all I find is beans...
-
WHat in the hell happened, Ennis?
-
Come on a bear.
-
Goddamn horse spooked, mules took off, scattered food everywhere. Beans is about all we got left
-
Got whiskey or sometin'?
-
well something needs to be done about this food situation
-
Maybe I'll shoot one of the sheep.
-
What if Aguirres finds out?
-
were supposed to guard the sheep not eat em
-
What's a matter with you? There's a thousand of them.
-
I'll stick with the beans
-
Well I won't.
-
Ennis shoots Elk
Jack: Yee haw
-
I was gettin tired of your dumb-ass missing.
-
Let's get a move on.
-
Don't want the Game & Fish to catch us with no elk.
-
I'm commutin' four hours a day.
-
Come in for breakfast, go back out to the sheep
-
Come in for breakfast, go back to the sheep, evening get 'em bedded down, come in for supper, go back to the sheep, spend half the night checkin' for d*mn coyotes.
-
Aguirre got no right to make me do this.
-
'Ya wanna switch...I wouldn't mind being out there
-
That ain't the point.
-
We should both be in this camp
-
well I wouldn't mind switching with you
-
And that g*d*mn pup tent smells like cat piss or worse.
-
Wouldn't mind bein' out there.
-
I don't mind switching with you, but I gotta warn you I can't cook worth s**t
-
Am pretty good with a can opener, tough.
-
Can't be no worse than me
-
Won't get much sleep, I'll tell you that.
-
Yep,
(Ennis rides off to babysit the sheep)
-
Shot a coyote, big son of a bitch, balls on him size a apples.
-
Looked like he can eat himself a camel
-
You want some of this hot water?
-
Shit! It's all yours.
-
Don't rodeo much myslef.
-
I mean whats the point of riding some piece of stock for 8 seconds?
-
Money's a good point
-
sure enough
-
If you don't get stomped winning it
-
yea, well, my ole man he was a bullrider
-
Pretty well known in his day...
-
thogh he always kept his secrets to himself
-
didnt teach me nothin, never once come to see me ride
-
Your brother and sister do right by you?
-
they did the best they could after my folks was gone
-
They did the best they could... After my folks was gone...
-
considering they didnt leave us nothing but $24 and a coffee can (? is this before your line Lindsey?)
-
Got myself a year a high school, before the transmission went on the pickup
-
Then my sis married a roughneck, moved to Casper.
-
Thats how I ended up here...
-
(Missed a line..)
Me and my brother got work on a ranch up near Worland till I was 19, then he got married too and...no more room for me....
(something like that anyway!)
-
Whut? ::)
-
Friend, that's more words than you spoke in the last two weeks.
-
Hell, that's the most I spoke in a year
-
My dad now, he was a fine roper.
-
Didn't rodeo much, though. He thought rodeo cowboys was all f**k ups.
-
The H*ll they are!
-
Well . . .
-
YEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW
( glad I got to do that one :D )
-
There you go.
-
I'm spurring his guts out, waving to the girls in the stands, he's kicking to high heaven but he don't jackboard me.
-
(Laughing) Looks like my daddy was right
-
New scene
Ennis is setting up tent at new campsite
Ennis: That tent don't look right
-
Let it be. It ain't goin' nowhere.
-
That harmonica don't sound right neither
-
Yeah, well it got kind of bent when that mare threw me.
-
Oh, yeah...I thought you said that mare couldn't throw you
-
Well, she got lucky
-
Yeah, well if I got lucky that harmonica would have broken, too
-
what you doin'?
-
what you doin'?
Correction:
Jack singing: I know I shall meet you on that final day, water walking Jesus, take me away
-
what you doin'?
Correction:
Jack singing: I know I shall meet you on that final day, water walking Jesus, take me away
sorry, I read "harmonica" and was in the wrong scene.. ::)
very good...
-
My mama, she believed in the Pentecost
-
yeah? what exactly is the pentecoost?
-
Well, what exactly is the Pentecost?
-
The Pentecost? I don't know what the Pentecost is, mama never explained it to me.
-
I think its when the world ends and fellas like you an me march off to hell
-
Speak for yourself. You may be a sinner but I ain't yet had the opportunity >:D
(Yeah! I got to do this line &**))
-
New scene
Ennis and Jack drunk and asleep on the ground
I think it's time to head on up to the sheep now
-
you can't hardly stand, it's too late to go to them sheep.
-
You got you an extra blanket I'll grab 40 winks right here and head out at first light
-
You'll freeze your ass off when the fire dies down... We're better off both sleeping in the tent ;)
-
yeah...
-
alright...
-
*after hearing ennis shivering* Ennis!
-
what?
-
Quit your yammering and get in here..bedroll's big enough
-
what're you doin'?
-
see you for supper
-
it's a one-shot thing we got goin' here.
-
It's nobody's business but ours.
-
you know i ain't queer.
-
Me neither.
-
me neither
-
(whispered)
I'm sorry
-
it's alright, It's alright!
(And that's how a love that will never grow old started! <^()
-
Twist, your uncle Harold's in the hospital with pneumonia.
-
Twist, your uncle Harold's in the hospital with pneumonia.
complete:
Docs don't expect him to make it. Your ma sent me up here to tell you so...here I am.
-
bad news... but I guess there ain't nothin' I can do about it up here...
-
Ain't much you can do about it down there neither. Unless you can cure pneumonia.
-
Them sheep will drift if I don't get up there tonight.
-
You'll get pitched off your horse in this storm, and regret tryin'
-
close it up!
-
What we're supposed to do now?
-
Get on in there untangle them Chilean sheep from ours, i guess
-
god, half the goddamn paint brands have wore off
-
We gotta try; least we can get the count right for Aguirre.
-
f*** Aguirre!!!!!!
-
oh yeah f*** Aguirre, what if we have to work for him again...ya ever think of that?
damn I was so close to that line, it's so funny
-
We gotta stick with it, Jack
-
you'll run them sheep off again if you don't quiet down
-
What're y'doin'?
-
f**k me f**k me! >:D
-
See you for supper.
-
dirtbiker and CherryCake - that was the wrong "what're y'doin'" that you responded to. We're at the scene where Ennis returns to see Jack taking down the tent! So.....
Aguirre came by again, said my uncle didn't die after all.
-
Says bring 'em down.
-
bring em down, why, its the middle of August.
-
Says there's another storm coming in from the Pacific
-
Worse than this one.
-
But that snow barely stuck an hour, huh?
-
That son-of-a-bitch, he's conned us out of a whole month's pay.It ain't right.
-
Well, I can spare you a loan, bud, if you're short on cash.
-
give it to you when we get to signal
-
I don't need your money... I ain't in the poorhouse
-
alright
-
Time to get going, cowboy.
-
Jack lassos Ennis
Ennis: This ain't no rodeo, cowboy
-
Ennis, Ennis, come here. You OK? You OK?
-
some of these never went up there with you.
-
Count ain't what I'd hoped for neither
-
You ranch stiffs, you ain't never no good
-
Give it some gas...
-
You gonna do this again next summer?
-
maybe not.
-
Like I said, me an Alma's getting married in November
-
So...I'll try to get somethin' on a ranch, I guess. And you?
-
might go to my daddy's place, give him a hand through the winter.
-
I might be back..if the army don't get me.
-
Well, I guess I'll see you around then
(OH FOR GOD'S SAKE ENNIS.... ::))
-
Right
(which really translates...COME ON MATE CAN'T U SEE I'M IN LOVE WITH U?)
-
What the f*ck are you lookin' at?
:\'(
-
Forgive our trespassers and deliver us from evil
-
....and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil....
-
Ennis and Alma are getting married
And lead us not into temptation
For thine is the kingdom, power and glory
Now and forever
Amen
-
...under the powers vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife...you may kiss the bride...and if you don't, I will...
-
Moving on guys!!
(sledding scene)
You all right?
-
No
-
How you girls doin'?
-
Jenny still has a runny nose
-
Ennis, could you wipe Alma Jr.'s nose?
-
I could if I had three hands
-
are the girls allright?
-
Yeah. Jenny stopped her coughing.
-
I should take the girls into town this weekend, get'em an ice cream.
erm, didn't we miss the whole aguirre/jack scene?
-
erm, didn't we miss the whole aguirre/jack scene?
yup, we did ???
-
(OK rewind to Alma and Ennis in the snow...)
You all right?
-
my old lady's tryin' to get me to quit this job, says I'm gettin' too old to be breakin' my back shoveling asphalt..
-
I told her strong backs and weak minds run in the familly
-
didn't think that was too funny.
-
I told her keeps me fit.
-
yeah?
-
Look what the wind blew in
-
hi, mr. aguirre.
-
Was wonderin' if you need any help this summer...
-
Ya're loosin' your time here
-
well you aint got nothin? nothin' up on brokeback?
-
I ain't got nothing for you.
-
Ennis Del Mar ain't been around, has he?
-
You boys sure found a way to make the time pass up there. Twist, you guys wasn't gettin' paid let the dogs babysit the sheep while you stemmed the rose. Now get the hell outta my trailer.
(Sorry, got carried away there....)
-
How are my girls doing?
-
Jenny's still got a runny nose
-
Ennis, could you wipe Alma's Jr.'s nose?
-
If I had three hands, I could
-
Or something...
-
Girls all right?
-
Jenny stopped her coughing
-
Maybe I should take the girls into town this weekend, buy 'em an ice cream or somethin'
-
*moan* Ennis....can't we move to town?
-
I'm tired of these lonesome old ranches...
-
No-one for Alma Jr to play with...
-
Not so lonely like you were raised....
-
Not so lonely like you were raised....
(you skipped sometin', rewind...)
...and besides I'm scary for ''Jenny'', scared if she as one of them bad asthma spells.
-
renting in town is too high....
-
There's a cheap place in Riverton, over the laundrymat.
-
I bet I could fix it up real nice.
-
I bet you can fix this place up real nice if you wanted to
-
Ennis, I know you'd like it too.
-
a real home.
-
Other kids for the girls to play with.
-
not so lonely like you were raised.
-
you don't want them to be so lonely, do you?
-
C'mere....it's not so lonely now, is it....
-
you sure the girls are asleep?
-
I'm sure
-
..ennis..
-
Let 'em rip and snort, boys!
-
this one'll be quick.
-
Jack Twist, hangin' on for dear life!
-
oh, and down he goes!
-
Whoa, watch out there, fella!
-
he's comin' for ya!
-
(3400 ;))
Send in the Clowns!
-
( :cr))
a fine ride for mr. twist.
-
Is Jimbo next? Poo, pretty sure.... Is so then show Jimbo at bar, Jack limps over to him,
"I wanna buy Jimbo here a beer, best rodeo clown I ever worked with"
-
Is Jimbo next? Poo, pretty sure.... Is so then show Jimbo at bar, Jack limps over to him,
"I wanna buy Jimbo here a beer, best rodeo clown I ever worked with"
(rewind....you skipped some)
Four seconds for him
-

(i can recite the "all we got now is Brokeback mountain" scene verbatum...)
-
(yup! same here...)
No thanks Cowboy
-
you skipped:
if I let every cowboy I saved buy me a beer, I'd have been an alcoholic long ago....
-
pulling bulls off you buckaroos is just my job
-
save your money for your next entry fee, cowboy.
-
(you skipped)
If I was to let every rodeo hand I pulled a bull off buy me a beer I'd be an alcoholic long ago...
-
Jimbo lleaves.... says something to the group of men
he joins, Jack and bartender see this
"Ever thought of calf ropin'"
-
Do I look like I can afford a f***ing roping horse?!
-
(4th of July scene)
We should move closer
-
let's don't, jenny'll get scared.
-
Here we go, darlin'
-
woee, look at this crowd!
-
red neck jerk "woo hee look at this crowd"
-
There's bound to be lots of pussy on the hoof in a crowd like this.
-
where doya think has the most pussy, California or Vegas?
-
hell, how would I know..
-
Hey I got two little girls here
-
redneck to Ennis: F**k you
-
asshole probably stopped puttin' it to the wife after the kids come, you know how that is.
-
You need to shut your slop bucket mouths...
-
Redneck: you need to listen to your old lady and move somewhere else
-
wanna swallow about half of your teeth?
-
I'd sure rather not.
-
Here she comes ladies and gentleman, look at her fly. Lureen Newsom from right here in Childress Texas
-
Oh boy, she's clear on two... she's around three! c'mon guys, help her home!... and her time is... sixteen and nine-tenth seconds. let's give her a big hand!
-
Ma'am.
-
You know that girl?
-
I sure do. Lureen Newsome.
-
Her dad sells farm equipment, thousand dollar tractors, that kind of thing.
-
What're you waitin' for, cowboy? The matin' call?
-
singin' No one's gonna love you like me... no one else can't you see?"
-
Do you think we're goin' too fast? Maybe we should put the brakes on?
-
fast or slow, I just like the direction you're goin'
-
you are in a hurry
-
My daddy's the hurry. Expects me home with the car by midnight.
-
Hey Monroe - is Alma here?
-
Yeah, she's in the condiments aisle.
-
The what?
-
Uh, ketchup.
-
thanks
-
Hi honey. What're you all doing here?
-
I thought I might drop the girl off....
-
Ennis, I got a million things to do here before I can leave. I don't get off for another three hours.
-
Oh wait, you missed a bit.
Hi honey. What're you all doing here?
Big hurry, my boss called... he wants me to go up to the ranch, all the heifers musta decided to calve at the same time... I figured I could drop the girls off with you
-
Oh wait, you missed a bit.
Hi honey. What're you all doing here?
Big hurry, my boss called... he wants me to go up to the ranch, all the heifers musta decided to calve at the same time... I figured I could drop the girls off with you
and then...
Ennis, I got a million things to do here before I can leave. I don't get off for another three hours.
You said you could keep them tonight
-
Alma, I can't afford not to be there when the heifers calve. it'll be my job if I lose one of 'em.
-
What about my job?
-
oh, all right then.. I'll call my sister, maybe she can keep 'em till I get off.
-
I may be half the night. Bring home some round steak if you think of it.
-
It's o.k., come here... oh! Oh!
-
Monroe, I am so sorry.
-
oh, boy. It's ok. It's o.k. Alma.
-
I'll clean it up soon as I call my sister to come get the girls.
-
Really, Alma, it's okay. I'll get it.
-
honey, got a surprise for you.
-
I got two whole boxes of formula for you, 120 cans.
-
120?
-
L.D., where did you put 'em?
-
oh hell, back seat of the car where I left 'em. Rodeo can get 'em.
-
Oh, L.D.! I can already see who he looks like.
-

-
Isn't he the spittin' image of his grandpa?
-
Ennis, you know somebody name a Jack? From Texas?
-
I might. Why?
-
You got a postcard.
-
It come General Delivery.
-
is he somebody you cowboyed with, or what?
-
no, jack he rodeos mostly
-
Jack rodeos, mostly. We was fishing buddies ...
-
maybe we can get a baby sitter, take your friend to the knife and fork?
-
jack aint the restaurant type
-
We'll more'n likely just go out and get drunk.
-
thats if he shows
-
Jack fu**in' Twist!
-
son of a bitch...
-
alma, this is jack twist.
-
Jack - this is my wife, Alma
(BTW we missed "Hey" and "Later"....whispered, sure, but very very important!)
-
(You are right - they are most important)
Howdy.
-
'Lo
-
you got a kid?
-
Two little girls - Alma Jr and Jenny
-
I got a boy. Eight months old. Smiles a lot.
-
Married the prettiest little gal in Childress. Lureen.
-
Jack and me is goin' out and get a drink.
-

-
when we get drinkin' and talkin' and all...
:)
( Corinna darlin', reminds ya of something ;) :f))
-
Sure enough.
-
ennis, could you get me a pack of smo...
(little darlin' - yep, that drinkin' and talkin'.. :c) )
-
Alma, if you want smokes there's some in the pocket of my blue shirt in the bedroom.
-
you wanna get somethin' to eat? I'm starvin'.
-
(Didn't we just forget something important ;))
Damn. Four years.
-
four years.
(we didn't forget it; jack says "I'm starvin" when they leave ennis' flat ;))
-
Didn't think I'd hear from you. Figured you was sore about that punch.
-
that next summer, I drove back up to Brokeback, talked about aguirre about a job.
-
Told me you hadn't been back there, so I left.
-
( no, he says that the following day after telling Alma they're going fishing ;) )
I went back to rodeoing, that's how I met Lureen
-
(right ^f^)
made 2000 dollar that year bullridin', nearly starved.
-
Lureen's old man makes serious money. Farm machine business. Of course, he hates my guts.
-
Army didn't get you?
-
no, too busted up
-
And rodeo ain't like it was in my daddy's time,
-
got out while i could still walk
-
Swear to God I didn't know we was going to get into this again...........................Hell yes, I did. Red-lined it all the way, couldn't get here fast enough. What about you?
-
Me, oh I don't know
-
Old Brokeback got us good
-
what're we gonna do now?
-
suppose there's nothing we can do
-
I'm stuck with what I got here. Makin' a livin's about all I got time for now.
-
Me and Jack's headin up the mountains for a day or two,
-
Do a little fishin'.
-
you know your friend could come inside for a cup of coffee
-
He's from Texas
-
Texans don't drink coffee?
-
You sure that foreman won't fire you for taking off?
-
Now that forman, he owes me.
-
I worked through a blizzard last Christmas, you remember that?
-
Daddy bring me a fish, a big one
-
See you Sunday, latest
-
Ya wanna get somethin' t' eat.? I'm starvin'
-
Yep
-
Is there anything interesting up there in heaven?
-
I was just sendin' up a prayer of thanks
-
For what?
-
For you forgettin' to bring that harmonica - I'm enjoying the peace and quiet
(Translation - for you comin' back to me <^( :\'()
-
You know, it could be like this, just like this, always..
:\'( :\'(
-
Yea? How do you figure that?
-
What if you and me had a little ranch together somewhere, little cow and calf operation, it'd be some sweet life.
-
Lureen's old man, you bet he'd give me a downpayment to get lost - I mean, he more or less already said it
-
nope, i already told you, it aint gonna be like that
-
I mean, you got your wife and baby in Texas and, I mean, I got my life in Riverton
-
that so, you and alma, thats a life
-
You shut up about Alma - this ain't her fault
-
Bottom line, we're around each other and this thing grabs on to us again in the wrong place, wrong time, we'll be dead.
-
I tell you...there was these two old guys ranched up together down home...Earl and Rich. They was the joke of the town, though they was pretty tough old birds. Anyway, they found Earl dead in an irrigation ditch...they'd took a tire iron to him, spurred him up, drug him round by his dick till it pulled off.....
(sorry to get carried away, but Ennis does tell the story pretty much in one breath!)
-
You seen that?
-
Yeah, I was about nine years old
-
My daddy made sure me and my brother seen it
-
for all i know he did the job himself
-
Two guys livin' together?.....no way
-
now we can get together every once in a while...
-
way the hell out in the middle a nowhere, but.....
-
once in a while?
-
Every four f***ing years?
-
Well, if you can't fix it Jack, you have to stand it.
-
For how long?
-
Long as we can ride it....ain't no reins on this one :\'(
(sorry for stealing two lines....hell, no I'm not!)
-
Long as we can ride it....ain't no reins on this one :\'(
(sorry for stealing two lines....hell, no I'm not!)
Well, it is "your" line, after all ;) :)
Back ot,
Where the hell do you think you're going?
-
Supper's on the stove.
-
No-one's eatin' it unless you're servin' it!
-
I already told them I'd take the extra shift!
-
Well, tell him you made a f***ing mistake then!
-
Alma! Goddamnit - Alma!
-
You girls need a push or something?
-
Noooooooo
-
listen to her purr gentlemen, you're not going to get that with your Caddy! I told you what she can do, now let me show you.
-
didn't that little pissant used to ride bulls
-
He used to try ...
-
honey, you seen my blue parka?
-
Last time I seen it you was in it
-
..that day we had that big ice storm.
-
well, I coulda swore I left it here
-
You know, you been going up to Wyoming all these years.
-
Why can't your buddy come down here?
-
'Cause the Big Horn MOuntains ain't in Texas.
-
doubt his pickup would make it this far anyways.
-
New models coming in this week, remember...and you're the best combine salesman we got...the only combine salesman, in fact.
-
Well, I'll be back in a week
-
Unless I freeze to death, which I will unless I find that parka
-
I don't know where your goddamn parka is... You know, you're worse than Bobby when it comes to losing things...
-
I don't have your goddamn parka.
-
god, you know you're worse than bobby when it comes to losing stuff.
-
Oh yeah, speaking of Bobby, did you call the school about getting him a tutor?
-
I thought you were gonna call.
-
I've complained too much, the teacher don't like me, now it's your turn.
-
Okay, fine.
-
gotta go, got fourteen hours of driving ahead of me.
-
Still don't seem fair, you drivin' up there two or three times a year, him never comin' down here ....
-
you be good for your mama.
-
you're late
-
Look what I brought.
-
beans
-
(we forget the kitchen scene, i think..)
ennis, they got a openin' over at the power company.
-
Might be good pay.
-
Umm... as clumsy as I am, I'll probably get electrocuted...
-
daddy, the church picnic's next weekend.
-
Can't you take us, Daddy? please?
-
all right.. long as I don't have to sing.
-
Daddy..... ;D
-

-
youre late...
-
Look what I brought
-
beans
-

-
There you go. It's all yours. No hands!
-
we could all still smartin up and head to church social
-
That fire and brimstone crowd?
-
I think it'd be nice
-
being so far behind in the bills, makes me nervous not to take no precaution
-
If you don't want no more of my kids - I'd be happy to leave you alone
-

-

-
Senor?
-
Whoa, now, Rodeo...the stud duck does the carving around here.
-
you bet, L.D., ..just thought I'd save you the trouble
-
Bobby, I'm going to have to turn that television off if you don't eat your dinner.
-
Bobby, you just better eat your dinner or I'm gonna have to turn that tv off
-
Why, Mama? I'm gonna be eatin' this food for the next two weeks.
-
no you listen to your Mama, finish your meal then you can watch
-
We don't eat with our eyes.
-
You want your son to grow up to be a man, don't you, daughter?
-
boys should watch football
-
Not until he finishes the meal his mama spent three hours fixin'.
-
You sit down you old son of a bitch
-
This is my house, this is my son and you are my guest!
-
So sit the hell down, or I'll knock your ignorant ass into next week....
-
Daddy, tell about when you rode broncs in the rodeo.
-
Short story, honey. Only 'bout three seconds I was on that bronc, an' the next thing I knew I was flyin' through the air.
-
only I didn't have any wings 'cause I ain't no angel like you and Jenny
-
and that's the story of my saddle bronc career.
-
You ought to get married again, Ennis.
-
here you go...(dishes)
-
me and the girls worry about you being alone so much
-
well, once burned...
( love that line ;D )
-
You still go fishin' with Jack Twist?
-
not that often.
-
I always wondered how come you never brought any trouts home
-
you always said you caught plenty and you know hom much me and the girls like fish
-
So one night I got your creel case open the night before you went on one a your little trips--price tag still on it after five years--and I tied a note on the end of the line.
-
it said "hello ennis, bring some fish home, love, alma"...
-
And you came home looking all perky
-
and said you'd caught a bunch a browns and ate them up. Do you remember?
-
Well, I looked in that creel case the first chance I got and that line had never touched water in it's life
-
That don't mean nothing, Alma
-
Don't try to fool me no more, Ennis, I know what it means.
-
Don't try to fool me no more, Ennis...you didn't go up there to fish
-
Oops
Correction
Jack Twist? Jack Nasty. You didn't go up there to fish
-
You and him...
-
Now you listen Alma, you don't know nothin' about it
-
I'm gonna get Monroe
-
go on and fu**in' yell.
-
Daddy
-
Goodbye Daddy
-
What's the use of makin it, if the taxes don't get it inflation will.
-
You should see Lureen punching numbers into her adding machine.
-
Her eyes gettin smaller and smaller like watchin a rabbit trying to get into a snake hole with a cyote on his back
-
That's some high class entertainment there.
-
For what it's worth
-
You and Lureeen, it's normal and all?
-
She doesn't suspect
-
no
-
You ever get the feeling, I don't know, when you're in town, and someone looks at you, suspicious..like he knows.
-
Maybe you ought to get out of here... Find some place different...
-
Maybe Texas..
-
Texas? Maybe you can convince Lureen to adopt the girls and it'll rain money from LD Newsome.. That's real smart Jack
-
Aw, go to hell, Ennis del Mar. You want to live your miserable fu**in' life, go right ahead. I was just thinkin' out loud.
-
you skipped: and whisky will flow in streams
Go to hell Ennis del Mar. You want to live your miserable fu***** life, go right ahead, I was just thinking out loud.
-
Yeah, you're real thinker there, ain't you, Jack Twist?
-
Jack f****** Twist, think you got it all figured out, ain't ya?....
-
Just finished my shift. Wanna dance?
-

-
I'm Cassie ... Cassie Cartwright.
-
Ennis....Del Mar
-
No more dancin' for me.
-
My feet hurt.
-
Hard work is it?
-
well drunks like you demanding beer after beer, smokin'.....gets tiresome.
-
What do you do, Ennis del Mar?
-
Earlier today I was castrating calves
( love that line :D )
-
Earlier today I was castrating calves.... (just love that line :8 )
-
Ugh.
( dirtbiker, looks like great minds think alike ;) )
-
What are ya doing?
-
Tryin' to get a foot rub, dummy
-
Is this okay?
-
why am I always falling on the LaShawn part? ^*) can we skip it?
-
Pledged Tri Delt at SMU and I sure never thought I'd end up in a pokey little place like Childress, but then I met Randall at an Aggie game, and he was an animal husbandry major, and we been here a month, he got the foreman job over at Roy Taylor's ranch. Like it or not, here I am!
-
Tri Delt, I was Cappa Phi myself
-
Well, even though we ain't quite sorority sisters, we may have to dance with ourselves, Lureen.
-
Our husbands ain't the least bit interested in dancing
-
ain't got a smidgen of rhythm between them
-
It's funny, ain't it?
-
husbands, don't ever seem to want to dance with their wives
-
why is that, Jack?
-
Ain't never give it a thought.
-
wanna dance?
-
D'ya wanna dance?
Oops!
Do you mind?
-
wanna dance?
-
Thank you for asking to dance with me, I really appreciate that, I really do.
-
Randall never does
-
It's a good thing that you and Lureen happened along when you did, or else we'd still be stuck on the side of the road in that dern pickup.
-
(I don't know if I am getting this right)
Why is it that a woman will powder her nose on her way home?
-
Don't know
-
I mean what's the use in powdering your nose if you are just going to go home and go ta bed?
-
Even if I wanted to know, couldn't get a word in with Lashawn long enough to ask.
-
Your gonna like workin for Roy Taylor, he's solid
-
Yeah. Roy, he's a good ole boy.
-
You know he's got a little cabin up on lake Kemp
-
Got a croppie house...little boat.
-
Told me I could use it anytime I want
-
We ought to go down there some weekend.
-
Gonna snow tonight for sure
-
All this time, and you ain'tfound nobody else to marry?
-

-
Waitresses part-time,
-

-
She's a waitress wants to be a nurse...I dunno
-
What about you and Lureen?
-
Lureens great at making hard deals in the business
-

-
I kinda have this little thing going with a ranch formans wife
-
Expect to get shot by Lureen or the husband one, ever' time I slip off to see her.
-
You probably deserve it
-
Tell you what...truth is, sometimes I miss you so bad I can hardly stand it...
-
Head up to lighten flat for a few days to see my folks
-
There's something I been meaning to tell ya, Bud
-

-

-

-

-
You used to come away easy. Now it's like seein' the Pope.
-

-
Jack, I got to work. Them earlier days I used to quit the jobs.
-

-

-
You wouldn't do it, Ennis, so what we got now is Brokeback Mountain.
-

-
But you didn't want it Ennis
-

-

-

-

-

-
Damn you Ennis
-
(new scene - flashback)
Come on, you're sleeping on your feet like a horse
-
my mamma used to say that to me, when I was little...
-
My mama used to say that when I was little
-
...and sing to me....
-
I got to go
-
...See you in the mornin'....
-
(change of scene)
Ennis del Mar. Where you been?
-
Here and there.
-
I left word for you with Steve at the ranch.
-
And you must of got those notes I left at your place.
-
Looks like I got the message, in any case.
-
Carl? Yeah, Carl's nice. He even talks.
-
(1400 ;))
Well then, good for you
-
(I know ;) )
Yeah, well, good for me.l
-
I don't get you, Ennis del Mar.
-
I'm sorry. Was probably no fun anyway, was I?
-
ennis, girls dont fall in love with fun!
-
(telephone scene)
Hello?
-
Hello, this is Ennis del Mar.
-
Who? Who is that?
-
Ennis del Mar. I'm an ol' buddy of Jack's.
-
Jack used to mention you
-
you're the huntin buddy or the fishin buddy, I know that
-
Would have let you know, but wasn't sure about your name and address.
-
Jack kept his friends' addresses in his head
-
Why I was callin', to see what happened... :\'(
-
Oh yeah. Jack was pumping up a flat on the truck out on a back road when the tire blew up. The rim of the tire slammed into his face, broke his nose and jaw, and knocked him unconscious on his back
-
by the time somebody came along, he had drowned in his own blood.
-
He was only 39 years old.
-
..hello?
-
He burried down there?
-
we put a stone up.
-
He was cremated like he wanted, half his ashes was interred here. The rest I sent up with his folks
-
He used to say he wanted his ashes scattered on Brokeback Mountain, but I wasn't sure where that was.
-
I thought it might be some pretend place where he'd go to get drunk. He drank a lot.
-
His folks still up in Lightin' Flat?
-
Yeah, they'll be there til the day they die.
-
forgot...we was herding sheep one summer in 63
-
Thanks for your time, then.... I sure am sorry... we was good friends... :\'( :\'( :\'(
-
Get in touch with his folks.
-
Im sure they'd appreciate it if Jack's wishes were carried out...
-
About the ashes I mean.
-
Want a cup of coffee, don't you? Piece of cherry cake?
-
Want a cup a coffee, don't you? Piece of cherry cake? :-\\ :\'(
-
Cup of coffee would be good, can't eat no cake just now.
-
I feel awfull bad about Jack...
-
I can't begin to tell you how bad I feel
-
I knew him a long time.
-
I come by to tell you that if you want me to take his ashes there on Brokeback like his wife siad he wanted, I'd be proud to.
-
Tell you what, I know where Brokeback Mountain is....thought he was too damn special to go in the family plot
-
Jack used to say, Ennis Del Mar, he used to say . . .
-
I'm gonna bring him up here and we're gonna lick this ranch into shape
-
Then, this Spring, he got another fellow gonna come up here with him. Some ranch neighbor of his from down in Texas. Gonna leave his wife.
-
so he says. but like most of Jack's ideas, it never came to pass.
-
I kept Jack's room like it was when he was a boy...I think he appreciated that.
-
You are welcome to go up to his room...if you want to
:\'(
-
Thank you, I'd like that
-
Tell ya what, we got a family plot, he's goin in it
-
Yes sir
(we may have missed a line here....I love you, perhaps?)
-
No Ennis missed that one
-
You come back and see us again sometime
-
Ma'am. Thank you for this.
-
new scene - Ennis outside his trailer putting numbers on his mailbox when car drives up
Ennis: Hey, Junior
-
Hey Daddy...
-
You like the car?
-
Is it yours?
-
No Kurt's
-
I thought you were seeing Troy
-
Try? Daddy that was 2 years ago.
-
Troy still playing baseball?
-
I don't know what he's doin', I'm seeing Kurt now.
-
Well, what does this Kurt do, huh?
-
What's this Kurt fella do?
-
He works out in the oilfields
-
Roughneck, huh?
-
I guess you're 19 yrs old, you can do whatever you like, is that right?
-
Daddy, you need more furniture.
-

-
So what's the occasion

-
To Alma and Kurt
-
Jack, I swear... :\'( :\'( :\'(
-
If you pair of deuces are lookin' for work, I suggest you get your scrawny asses in here, pronto.
-
Forest services got designated campsites on the allotments.
-
Them camps can be 3, 4 miles from where we pasture the woollies.
-
bad predator loss if theres nobody lookin after them
-
Now what I want is a camp tender in the main camp where the Forest Service says, ...
-
but the herder, he's gonna pitch a pup tent on the QT with the sheep, and he's gonna sleep there
-
Eat your supper, breakfast in camp, but you sleep with the sheep, hundred percent, no fire, don't leave no sign.
-
Roll up that tent every morning, case the Forest Service comes snoopin' round
-
Aguirre answers ringing phone
Yes. No. No! Not on your f**cking life
-
You got your dogs, your 30/30, you sleep there
-
Last summer I had goddamn near 25% loss. I don't want that again.
-
You (points at Ennis) Fridays at noon be down at the bridge with your grocery list and mules.
-
Jack Twist.
-

-
Nice to know you, Ennis del Mar.

-
But beats workin' for my old man.
-

-
that's why I took to rodeoing
-

-
You know ... I mean, once in a while, when I got the entry fee in my pocket.
-
Yeah. You from ranch people.
-
I was.
-
Why? Did you folks run you off?
-
no, they run themselves off.
-
One curve in the road in 43 miles, and they miss it.
-
bank took the ranch.
-
Brother and sister raised me, mostly
-
S**t, that's hard
-
Dont let 'em stray.
-
joe will have your ass if you do
-
Only thing, don't never order soup. Them soup boxes are hard to pack.
-
Don't eat soup
-
that horse has a low startle point
-
zi doubt that there's a filly that can throw me.
-
Let's get, .less you wanna stand arround and tie knots all day.
-
well, let's git unless you want to stay here all day tying knots
-
I cant' wait til I have get my own spread.
-
So I won't have to put up with Joe Aguirre's crap no more.
-
I'm savin for a place myself
-
Me and Alma's getting married when I come down off of this mountain.
-
Shit that sleep with sheep no fire bull shit.
-
Aguirre got no right making us do something against the rules.
-
No more beans
-
Dammit. shit!
-
where's the powdered milk and the spuds?
-
Something wrong?
-
where's the powdered milk and the spuds?
That's all we got.
-
here's next weeks
-
thought you didn't eat soup ;)
-
Yeah, well, I'm sick of beans
-
too early in the summer to be sick of beans
-
Where the hell you been? Up with the sheep all day, I come down here hungry as hell and all I find is beans....
-
What in hell happened Ennis?
-
Came on a bear's what happened.
-
Goddamn horse got spooked and the mules took off
-
Scattered food everywhere - beans is about all we got left
-
You got whisky or somethin'?
-
somethin needs to be done about this food situation
-
Maybe I'll shoot one of the sheep.
-
What if Aguirre finds out, huh? We're here to guard the sheep, not eat 'em...
(I love this line and the look on Ennis's face when he says it!)
-
what's the matter with you - there's a thousand of them
-
I'll stick with beans.
-
well, i won't
-
Oooeee!
-
I was getting tired of your dumb a** missing
-
Let's get a move on.
-
don't want Forest Service to catch us with no deer.
-
Shot a coyote up there. Big son of a bitch. Had balls the size of apples. Looked like he could eat himself a camel!
-
oops, sTACP, you missed a scene
Jack complains about sleeping with the sheep
Jack: I'm commuting four hours a day...come in for breakfast, go back to the sheep
-
(Sorry! I just love the line about balls the size of apples!)
In the evening get them bedded down. I'm up half the night looking for damn coyotes.
-
(hey, STACP, I love that line, too!!) :8
Aguirre got no right to make me do this
-
you wanna switch? i wouldn't mind sleepin out there
-
that ain't the point...the point is we should both be in this camp
-
and that goddam pup tent smells like cat piss or worse
-
I wouldn't mind being out there
-
I'm happy to switch with ya, but I can't cook worth a damn
-
I am pretty good with a can opener, though
-
can't be no worse than me, then.
-
Shot a cyote (let you guys finish since you like the line...)
-
(you skipped)
Won't get much sleep, i'll tell you that
-
Oh right
-
Ennis riding away on his horse, clicks his tongue and says to the horse
Come on
-
shot a cyote (right..?)

Don't rodeo much myslef
-
what's the point of riding some piece of stock for eight seconds
-
Money's a reason
-
True enough, if you don't get stomped winnin' it.
-
My old man was a bull-rider, pretty well-known in his day, though he kept his secrets to himself.
-
Never taught me a thing.
-
never once came to see me ride
-
Your brother and sister do right by you?
-
they did the best they could after my folks was gone
-
...considering they didn't leave us nothin' but $24 in a coffee can
-
Got me a year of high school before the transmission went out on the pick up
-
My sis left, married a roughneck and moved to Casper
-
My brother and me, we got work on a ranch up near Worland till I was nineteen...
-
He got married and there was no more room for me
-
That's how come me to end up here.
-

Friend, that's more words than you've spoke in the past two weeks.
-
Hell, that's the most I've spoke in a year
(Aw, I love him <^()

My dad, now he was a fine roper. He didn't rodeo much though. He thought all rodeo cowboys was fuckups.
-
The hell they are
-
Well....
-
YEE HAW
-
I'm spurrin him to high heaven, waving to the girls in the stands, he's kicking to high heaven but he don't jackboard me
-
I'd say my Dad was right
-
Tent don't look right
-
well, it ain't goin nowhere..let it be
-
That harmonica don't sound quite right.
-
That's 'cos it got kinda squashed when that mare threw me
-
oh, yeah, I thought you said that mare couldn't throw you
-
oh yeah, thought you said that mare couldnt throw you?
-
Well, she got lucky.
-
If I was lucky, that harmonica would broke in two.

Bad news.

There ain't much I can do about it up here I guess
-
Ain't much you could do down there neither.
-
Unless you can cure pneumonia.
-
Aw, hell!
-
Those sheep will drift if I don't get up there tonight!
-
You'll get pitched off your mount in a storm like this.
-
And wish you hadn't tried.
-
what are we suppose to do now?
-
I guess we got on in there and untangle them Chilean sheep from ours
-
Damn, half the goddamn paint brands are wore off.
-
We gotta try, at least we can get the count right for Aguirre.
-
F*ck Aguirre!
-
F Aguirre? What if we want to work for him again next year?
-
We gotta stick this out Jack.
-
I should know this one:
You'll run them sheep off again if you don't quiet down
-
What you doin'?
-
Aguirre came by again
-
Says my uncle didn't die after all.
-

-
Bring 'em down?

-
Says there's another storm comin', movin' in from the Pacific.
-

-
All right...

Girls alright?

Jenny stopped her coughing

-
I'm tired of these old lonesome ranches

Besides, I'm scared if Jenny gets another one of them bad asthma spells.
-
There a place above the laundromat

-
I'd like to buy Jimbo here a beer
-
Best rodeo clown I ever worked with
(Oh for goodness sake Jack - stop flirting!)
-
No thanks, cowboy. If I was to let every rodeo hand I pulled a bull off of buy me liquor, I'd have been an alcoholic long ago.
-
No thanks cowboy
-
Save your money for your next entry fee
-
You ever try calf-roping?
-

Didn't think I'd hear from you.
I figured you were sore from that punch

He told me you hadn't been back so I left...headed down to Texas for rodeoing

Made 2 thousand dollar practically starved, that's where I met Lureen

-
And the next thig I knew, I was flyin' trough the air.
-
I wasn't no angel like you and Jenny
-

-
And that's the story of my saddle bronc career.
-

-
the girls and I worry about your being alone so much
-
Well, once burned. %(
-
You still go fishin with Jack Twist?
-
Not often.
-
You know, I used to wonder how come you never brougth any trouts home.
-
Always said you caught plenty and you know how me and the girls like fish.
-
always said you caught plenty and you know how much the girls and I like fish
-
So one nigth I got your creel case open the night before you went on one a your little trips... price tag still on it after five years... and I tied a note on the end of the line.
-
It said "Hello Ennis. Bring some fish home. Love, Alma."
-
:\'(
... And then you come back lookin's all perky and said you'd caught a bunch a browns and ate them up.
-
Do you remember?
-
I looked in the case first chance I got and there was my note still tied there.
:\'(
-
(I love this one)
Then you come back, lookin all perky
-
That line hadn' t touched water in its life.
-
It dont mean nothin Alma
-
Don't try to fool me, Ennis, I know what it means...
-
Jack Twist? Jack Nasty.
-
You don't go up there to fish....you and him.....
-
you know nothing about it
-
I'm going to yell for Monroe!
-

-
...didn't have no wings
-
Repeated yelling of "Get out"
-
Daddy? Bye Daddy.....
-
Daddy! Bye Daddy
-
Hey asshole watch where you goin.
-
new scene: Ennis and Jack camping on Brokeback
Jack: All I'm saying is what't the point of making it if the taxes don't get it then inflation just eats it up.
-
You should see Lureen, punchin numbers into her adding machine.
(remember adding machines?)
-
her eyes gettin' smaller and smaller....
-
her eyes getting smaller and smaller
-
it's like watchin a rabbit tryin to get a cyote down a snake hole
-
like watching a rabbit trying to get into a snake hole with the coyote on it's tail
-
that sounds like high class entertainment to me
-
for what it's worth
-
You and Lureen...is normal and all
-
She don't suspect
-
you ever get the feeling, I don't know, when you're in town and someone looks at you SUSPICIOUS like he knows
-
Then you go out onto the pavement and everybody's looking at you like they know, too?
-
maybe it's time you moved out of there
-
someplace different, Maybe move to Texas
-
Texas?
-
sure, and maybe you can convince Alma to let you and Lureen adopt the girls? and then we can all live together herding sheep
-
and it will just rain money from L.D. Newsom and whiskey will just flow in the streams
-
Yeah Jack now that's real smart...
-
Go to hell, Ennis Del Mar. You want to live your miserable f**kin life, go right ahead...I was just thinking out loud
-
Jack Twist is a real thinker there
-
You got it all figured out, ain't you? Jack F**king Twist

New scene: Jack and Lureen at dance with Randall and LaShawn
LaShawn: I pledged Tri Delt at SMU and I sure never thought I'd end up in a pokey little place llike Chldress, but then I met ole Randall here at an Aggie game and he was an animal husbandry major and we been here a month, he got the foreman's job over at Roy Taylor's ranch
-
you was tri delta? I was kapp phi myself
-
well, we aint quite sorority sisters...
-
we may have to dance with ourselves
-
we may just have to dance with ourselves, Lureen...our husbands ain't the least bit interested in dancing, ain't got a smiidgen of rhythm between them
-
Husbands don't ever seem to want to dance with their wives, why is that Jack?
-
ain't never give it much thought
-
wanna dance?
-
wanna dance?
-
is that okay with you
-
Jack: Do you mind?
Randall: No, its alright
-
thanks for asking me to dance, Randall never does.
-
Last time we danced, I think it was at our wedding...blah blah blah
-
...I think it was at our wedding. It's a good thing you and Lureen came along wihen you did or else wed'd still be stuck on the side of the road in that darn pick-up. I told Randall we ought to take the car, of course he don't ever listen to me.
He wouldn't listen to me if he was going deaf tomorrow :8 :8 :8 (sorry, but I just love that line!!!)
-
I told Randall it takes more than shewing gum and baling wire to a pickup goin'.
-
(Deep Breath) ;D
I told him it would take more than chewing gum and bailing wire to fix that pick up...Well, he's never been very mechanical though
-
ever notice how a woman will powder her nose before a party, then powder it again
on her way home..
-
I mean, why powder your nose if youre just goin home to go to bed?
-
why powder it just to go home and go to bed
-
Don't know.
-
Can't get a word in with LaShawn to ask, woman talks a blue streak
-
lively little gal
-
You'll like working for Roy Taylor. He's solid.
-

-

-
All this time, and you ain't found nobody else to marry?
-
was putting the blocks to some good looking woman in riverton, wanted to be a nurse or something...
-
What about you and Lureen?
-
Laureen's good at makin' hard deals in the machinery business, but so far as our marriage goes, we could do it over the phone.
-
I kinda got this thing going with a rancher's wife
-
Keep expecting to get shot by Lureen or the husband every time I sneak out to see her...
-
Probably deserve it.
-
Tell you what...the truth is...sometimes I miss you so much I can hardly stand it
:\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'(
-
truth is, sometimes i miss you so bad I can't hardly stand it

You know friend, this is a Goddamned bitch of a unsatisfactory situation
-
In them earlier days, you used to come away easy, now it's like seein the pope
-
Jack I gotta work, in them earlier days I just quit the job
-
you forget what it's like bein broke all the time
-
You even heard about child support
-
I can't quit this one and I can't get the time off...August was the trade off
-
You got a better idea?
-
I did once
-
I did once.
-

-
I got to say this to you one time, Jack fu**in' Twist. And I ain't foolin'. What I don't know, all them things I don't know...could get you killed if I should come to know them. (Shit! :\'()

-
We could of had a good life.
-

-
F*ckin' real good life. Had us a place of our own. But you didn't want it Ennis! :\'(
-
So all we got now is Brokeback Mountain
-
Everything built on that.
-
that's all we got boy, and i hope you know that even if you don't ever know the rest
-
You count the d*mn few times we been together in nearly 20 years and you measure the short f*ckin leash you keep me on, then ask me about Mexico and tell me you'll kill me for needin' something I don't hardly never get!
-
you have no idea how bad it gets
-
And I'm not you - I can't make it on a coupla high altitude f*cks once or twice a year!
-
Your too much for me you whore son of a bitch
-

-
My Mother used to sing to me
-
Ennis: sweetly hums...
-
I gotta go
-
See you in the mornin'
-
*Jack watches Ennis ride away, then drive away* :\'(
-
Hey Ennis del Mar. Where you been?
-
Here and there.
-
I left word for you with Steve at the ranch. And you must of got those notes I left at your place.
-
Looks like I got the message in any case.
-
Carl? Yeah, Carl's nice. He even talks.
-
Good for you
-
Yeah, good for me.
-
I don't get you Ennis Del Mar
-
I'm sorry. Was probably no fun anyway, was I?
-
Girls don't fall in love with fun!
-
Hello?
-
Hello, this is Ennis Del Mar, I....
-
Who? Who is this?
-
Ennis Del Mar. I'm an old buddy of Jack's.
-
Jack used to mention you.
-
you're the fishing buddy, or the hunting buddy, I know that.
-
Would have let you know, but wasn't sure about your name or adress.
-
Jack kept his friends addresses in his head.
-
Well I was callin', to see what happened.....
-
Oh yeah, Jack was pumping up a flat on the truck when the tire blew up.
-
The rim of the tire slammed into his face and broke his nose and jaw, knocked him unconscious on he back.
-
By the time someone came along he had drowned in his own blood. :\'(
-
Terrible thing. He was only thirty-nine years old. Shit! :\'(
-
(cuts to scene I can't watch :\'()
He buried down there?
-
We put a stone up. (Wasn't that big of her!)
-
He was creamted, like he wanted, and half of his ashes was intered here.
-
The rest was sent up to his folks
-
He used to say he wanted his ahses scattered on Brokeback Mountain, but i wasn't sure where that was.
-
I thought Brokeback Mountain might be around where he grew up.
-
But knowing Jack it might be some pretend place where the bluebirds sing and there's a whiskey spring.
-
No 'mam we was herding sheep one summer up on Brokeback
-
Back in '63...
-
well, he said it was his favorite place
-
I thought he meant to get drunk.
-
He drank a lot.
-
his folks still up in lightning flat?
-
They'll be there till the day they die.
-
well, thank you for your time. I sure am sorry. we was good friends.
-
Get in touch with his folks.
-
I suppose they'd appreciate it if his wish was carried out... 'bout the ashes, I mean.
-
Want a cup a coffee, don't you? Piece of cherry cake?
-
Thank you ma'am - I'll have a cup of coffee, but I can't eat no cake right now
-
I feel awfuly bad about your son, I can't tell you how bad.
-
I knew him a long time.
-
I come by to say that if you want me to take his ashes up there on Brokeback like his wife said he wanted to, then I'd be happy to.
-
tell you what. I know where Brokeback Mountain is.
-
Jack thought he was too goddamn special to be buried in the family plot.
-
Jack used to say, 'Ennis del Mar', he used to say, 'I'm goin' a bring him up here one a these days and we'll lick this damn ranch into shape.'
-
He got some half baked notion the two of yous was going to come up here, whip the place into shape
-
Then this spring he's got another fella's goin' a come up here with him and build a place and help run the ranch, some ranch neighbour a his from down in Texas.
-
He's gonna split with his wife and come back here.
-
So he says. But like most of Jack's ideas, it never come to pass.
-
I kept his room the way it was when he was a boy, i think he appreciated that.
-
You are welcome to go up in his room, if you want.
-
I'd like that.
-
Tell you what, we got a family plot and he's goin' in it.
-
Yes sir (bitterly)
-
Ma'am, thank you for this.
-
YOu come and see us again
-
Hey there, junior.
-
Hey Daddy, like the car?
-
Is it yours?
-
No Kurts
-
Thought you was seein' Troy.
-
Troy, Daddy that was 2 years ago
-
Troy still playin' baseball?
-
I don't know what he's doin I'm seeing Kurt now
-
And what's this Kurt fella doin'?
-
Works in the oil fields
-
He's a roughneck.
-
You're ninetenn you can do what you want
-
Daddy, you need more furniture.
-
when you got nothin you don't need nuthin'
(I love that line...)
-
So what's the occasion?
-

-
How long you known this Kurt fella?
-

-

-
This Kurt fella, does he love you?
-
Yes, Daddy. He loves me. :)
-
The wedding will be June (?) at the Methodist Church.
-
Yes, Daddy. He loves me. :)
Was hoping you'd be there.
-

~NEW ROUND~
Jack kicks truck:
SH*T!!!
-
you pair of dueces are looking for work I suggest you get your scrawny asses in here pronto
-
Forest service has designated campsites on the allotments.
-
them camp-sites cn be thre, four miles from where we pasture the woollies.
-
Bad predator loss if there's no one lookin' after 'em at night.
-
Now what I want is the camp tender to stay at camp like the Forest Service says.
-
But the herder (looks at Jack) is gonna pitch a pup tent on the QT with the sheep and he's gonna sleep there.
-
Eat your supper, breakfast in camp, but you sleep with the sheep, hundred percent, no fire, don't leave no sign.
-
shoot ourselves a nice elk
-
Eat your supper, breakfast in camp, but you sleep with the sheep, hundred percent, no fire, don't leave no sign.
You roll up the tent every mornin' case the Forest Service comes snoopin' round
-
Aguirre answers ringing phone
Aguirre: Yeah. No. NO! Not on your f**king life.
-
You got your dogs, your 30/30, sleep there. Last summer I had goddamn near 25% loss, I don't want that again.
-
You, Fridays at noon be down at the bridge with your grocery list and mules...somebody with supplies will be there at the drop off
-
Tomorrow mornin' we'll truck you up to the jump-off.
-
Jack Twist.
-
Ennis.
-
Ennis.
-
Your folks just stop at Ennis?
-
Del Mar.
-
well, nice to meet you, Ennis Del Mar.
-
My second year up here.
-
last year, we had one lightning storm that killed 42 sheep...I thought I'd asphyxiate from the smell.
-
Aguirre got all over my ass like I'm supposed to control the weather.
-
But it beats workin for my old man...can't please my old man no way.
-
You from ranch people?
-
I was.
-
But it beats workin for my old man...can't please my old man no way.
Why I took to rodeoin'. You ever rodeo?
(Toadily and Hanna - we missed this bit!)
-
Yeah, once in a while, when I got an entry fee in my pocket.
-
Yeah. Are you from ranch people?
-
I was.
-
Your folks run you off?
-
No. They run themselves off.
-
There was one curve in the road in 43 miles, and they missed it.
-
Bank took the ranch.
-
Brother and sister raised me mostly.
-
Shit. That's hard.
-
Can I?
-
One thing - don't never order soup. Them soup boxes is hard to pack.
-
well I don't eat soup....
-
You wanna watch it there - that mare's got a low startle point
-
I doubt there's a filly that can throw me.
-
Let's get, 'less you wanna stand around tyin' knots all day.
-
Can't wait till I got my own spread an I don't have to put up with Joe Aguirre's crap no more
-
I'm savin' for a place myself.
-
Me and Alma's gettin' married when I come down off this mountain so...
-
That stay with the sheep, no fire bulls*it? Aguirre's got no right makin' us do somethin' against the rules.
-
No more beans!
-
Dammit! Sh*t!
-
Something wrong?
-
Yeah. Uh...why didn't we get the powdered milk and the spuds?
-
That's all we got.
-
Here's next week's.
-
Thought you didn't eat soup?
-
I'm sick of beans.
-
Too early in the summer to be sick of beans
(ha ha - as I type this I can hear that Basque accent. I love that!)
-
Shit.
-
Where the hell have you been? I been up with the sheep all day, come in hungry as hell and all I find is beans
-
Where the hell ya been? :X
-
What in hell happened, Ennis?
-
Where the hell ya been? :X
Where the hell you been? I've been up with the sheep all day, I get down here hungry as hell and all I find is beans..
What the hell happened, Ennis?
-
Come on a bear's what happened. Horse spooked, goddamn mules took off, scattered food everywhere.
-
Beans are about all we got left
-
(As Jack hands him water)
You got whisky or somethin'?
-
Dumb ass mule
(I love Ennis getting angry at the mule!)
-
Well, we got to do something about this food situation.
-
maybe I'll shoot one of the sheep
-
What if Aguirre finds out?
-
we're supposed to guard the sheep not eat 'em, huh?
-
What's the matter with you? There's a thousand of 'em.
-
well, I'll stick with beans
-
But I won't.
-
New scene
Ennis shoots elk
Jack: Whoooeeee!
-
Was gettin' tired of your dump ass missin'.
-
Let's get a move on - don't want the Game and Fish catch us with no elk
-
New scene: Jack rides his horse into camp
Jack: I'm commuting 4 hours a day
-
Come in for breakfast, go back to the sheep, evenin' get 'em bedded down, come in for supper, go back to the sheep, spend half the night checkin' for damn coyotes. Aguirre got no right makin' me do this
^*) ^*)
(Jack does rant better than most!)
-
you wanna switch? I wouldn't mind sleepin out there.
-
That ain't the point. Point is, we both ought to be in this camp.
-
and, that goddamned pup tent smells like cat piss or worse.
-
Wouldn't mind bein' out there.
-
Well, I'm happy to switch with you, but I gotta warn you I can't cook worth a damn...am pretty good with a can opener, though.
-
Can't be no worse than me, then.
-
You won't get any sleep up there (I think...)
-
new scene
Jack is now camp tender, opening cans of beans
Ennis: Shot a coyote just at first light...big son of a b**ch, balls on him the size of apples. Looked like he could eat a camel.
-
Ennis: You want some of this hot water?
(bean explosion)
-
Shit. It's all yours.
(Jack spends the next few minutes desperately trying not to look :P)
-
new scene: Jack shows off his rodeo belt buckle to Ennis
Ennis: Don't rodeo much myself
-
I mean - what's the point a ridin' some piece a stock for eight seconds?
-
Money's a good point
-
not if you get stomped winning it. huh? ???
-
Yeah..
-
well, my old man was a bullrider, pretty well known in his day
-
Never taught me anything, never once come to see me ride.
-
your brother and sister do alright by you?
-
they did the best they could after my folks was gone
-
seeing they didn't lieave us nothing except 24 dollars in a can.
-
Got me a year of high school - till the transmission went on the pickup
-
My sis left, married a roughneck, moved up to Casper.
-
Then my brother and me got work on a ranch up near Worland, till I was nineteen
-
Then he got married, no room for me, so that's how i ended up here.
-
Friend, that's the most you've spoke in two weeks
-
Hell that's the most I spoke in a year
-
Now my daddy - he was a fine roper
-
He didn't rodeo much though...he thought rodoe cowboys was all f**k-ups
(Ennis gives Jack a sly look) <^(
-
The hell they are
-
YeeHaw! I'm spurring his guts out, waving to the girls in the stand...
-
I'd say my Daddy was right
-
Tent don't look right.
-
Leave it be. It ain't going nowhere.

If I was lucky that harmonica would have broken in two. :)

-
Headed down tp Texas for rodeoin'. That's how I met Lureen.

-
Army didn't get you?
-
Nah too busted up

And rodeo ain't like it was in my daddy's time.

-
What I'm sayin'you got your wife and baby down in Texas, and I got my life in Riverton.

You and Alma that's a life
-
Shut up about Alma. This ain't her fault.
-
bottum line is, we are around each other and ths thing gets a hold of us
-
in the wrong place, wrong time, we'll be dead.
-
there was these two old ranch guys Rich and Earl
-
They was a joke in town, even though they were pretty tough old birds.
-
THey found Earl dead in a irrigation ditch
-
They'd took a tire iron to him, spurred him up, drug him around by his dick till it pulled off..
-
You seen this?
-
Yeah, I was nine years old.
-
My daddy made sure my brother and me seen it
-
Hell, for all I know, he done the job.

-
Well, I could of swore I left it here.
-

-
Bobby, if you don't eat your dinner, I'm gonna have to turn off that television.
-
Why, Momma? I'm gonna be eating this food for the next two weeks.
-
You heard your mama.
-
You can eat your dinner. Then you can watch the game.
-
Daddy? Daddy!
-
Well,we don't eat with our eyes.
You want your son to grow up to be a man, don't you daughter?
Boys should watch football.

Not until he finishes the meal his mama spent three hours fixin'.
-
Sit down you old son of a bitch!
This is my house! This is my child! And you're my guest! So sit the hell down, or I'll knock your ignorant ass into next week...

Sit down you old son of a b**ch
-
This is my house and this is my child! And you're my guest!

*Scene shifts to Thanksgiving dinner at the Monroe home*
Daddy, tell about when you rode broncs in the rodeo.
-
Short story, honey.
-
Only 'bout three seconds I was on that brond, and the next thing I knew I was flyin' through the air.
-
Only I wasn't no angel like you and Jenny, and didn't have no wings.
-
And that's the story of my saddle bronc career.
-
You ought to get married again, Ennis.
-
Me and the girls worry about you being alone so much
-
Once burned...
-
Once burned...
-
You still go fishin' with Jack Twist?
-
Not often.
-
You know, I used to wonder how come you never brought any trouts home.
-
Always said you caught plenty, and you know how the girls and me like fish.
-
So one night I got your creel case open the night before you went on one a your little trips, price tag still on it after five years, and I tied a note on the end of the line.
-
It said, "Hello Ennis, bring some fish home, love, Alma."..
-
... And then you come back loockin' all perky and said you caught a bunch a browns and ate them up?
-
First chance I got I looked in your creel case and there was my note, still tied there. That line ain't never seen water...
-
it means nothing Alma
-
Don't try to fool me no more Ennis, I know what it means
-
Jack Twist? Jack nasty. you didn't go up there to fish, you and him -
-
You don't know nothin' about it.
-
I'm gonna yell for Monroe!
-
Go on and fu**in' yell.
-
I'll make him eat the f**kin' floor, and you too!
-
Get out, get out, get out!
-
Get out of my house, Ennis Del Mar! You hear me? You get out!

Bye Daddy!

Hey asshole, watch where you're goin'!

new scene: Ennis and Jack camping
Jack: All I'm saying's what's the point in making it if the taxes don't get it then the inflation eats it all up
-
You should see Lureen putting numbers into the adding machine, her eyes getting smaller and smaller
-
it's like watching a rabbit trying to sqeeze into a snakehole with a cayote on its tail
-
Sounds like high class entertainment
-
for what it's worth
-
you n' Lureen, it's normal and all?
-
she don't suspect
-
you ever get the feeling... when you're in town, and someone looks at you suspicious, like he knows? and then you go out to the pavement and everybody's looking at you like they all know too?
-
Well maybe you ought to get out of there, go someplace new....maybe Texas?
-
Texas?
-
Sure - and maybe you can convince Alma to let you and Lureen adopt the girls and we can all live together herding sheep and it'll rain money from LD Newsome and whiskey'll flow in the streams....that's real smart Jack
^*) ^*)
-
Oh, go to Hell, Ennis del Mar. If you want to live your miserable f**king life, you go right ahead...I was just thinking out loud
-
Yeah, you're a real thinker, you got it all figured out....Jack F**kin' Twist
-
I just finished my shift you wanna dance?

I was just on my way to the...
-
My names Cassie, Cassie Cartwright

No more dancing for me

Youre safe my feet hurt
-

-
what do you do Ennis Del Mar
-
earlier today I was castrating calves
-
what are you doing?
-
trying to get a foot rub, dummy
-
Pledged Tri Delt at SMU and I sure never thuoght I'd end up in a pokey little place like Childress, but then I met Randall bla bla bla bla bla...
-
Tri Delt, I was Kappa Phi myself
-
Well, even though we ain't quite sorority sisters, we may have to dance with ourselves, Lureen...
-
Our husbands ain't the least bit interested in dancing...
-
and they don't have a smidgen of rhythm between them
-
It's funny, isn't it? Husbands don't never seem to want to dance with their wives.
-
why do you thing that is, Jack?
-
Wouldn' t know about that. Wanna Dance?
-
yes, thank you!
-
thanks for asking me to dance, Randall never does blah blah blah
-
Ever notice how a woman'll powder her nosebefore a party starts, and then again powder it when the party is over?
-
Why powder your nose just to go home to bed?
-
I don't know. Even if I did know I could never get a word in with LaShawn...woman talks a blue streak
-
Lively little gal.
-
You like working for Roy Taylor? He's solid.
-
You'll like working for Roy Taylor...he's solid
-
Yeah Roy's a good ol boy
-
He's got a little cabin down on Lake Kemp.
-
Croppie house, a little boat, we shoudl go up there sometime
-
Drink a little whiskey, fish some. Get away, you know?
-
I spent more money than I made, more than Randall will ever make
-
Hey there junior, you ready?
-
You think your Daddy will ever see fit to settle down again?
-
don't know...maybe Daddy's not the marrying kind
-
Or you think I'm not the right one for him
-
you're good enough
-
You don't say much but you get your point across
-
sorry, I didn't mean to be rude
-
No cowboy you're stayin your feet
-
I'll pick you and Jenny up next weekend after church.
-
Daddy I was thinkin' with the new baby and all Mom and Monroe
have gone all strict on me
-
they're stricter on me than Jenny even
-
I was thinking maybe I could move in with you
-
I'd be a big help to you, I know I would.
-
Uh, you know I ain't set up for that
-
And with the rroudup coming, I won't ever be home.
-
it's alright daddy.

Alright - I'll see you on Sunday then

Bye, Daddy

I've been puttin' the blocks to this good lookin' lil gal over in Riverton...wants to be a waitress or something....ah dunno.
-
What about you an Lureen?
-
Lureen's good at making hard deals in the tractor business
-
but as far as our marriage goes, we could do it over the phone
'
-
I sorta have this thing going with a ranchers wife
-
I expect to get shot by the husband or Lureen, one, every time I sneak off to see her
-
You prob'ly deserve it....
-
Truth is, sometimes I miss you so bad I can't hardly stand it.
-
(New scene - next morning at the trailhead)
Well, guess I'll head up to Lightning Flat, see the folks....
-
there's something I've been meaning to tell you bud...
-
It's likely November before I can get away again
-
Looks like it will be November before I can get away again, after we ship stock and before the winter feeding starts
-
November? What the hell happened to August?
-
Christ, Ennis, you had a f**king week to say some little word about it
-
And why is it we're always in the friggin' cold? We oughta go south - we oughta go to Mexico
-
Mexico? Jack you know all the travelin I do is around a coffee pot to find the handle
-
Mexico? You know me, Jack, all the travelling I've ever done is going around the coffeepot looking for the handle
-
Lighten up on me Jack. We can hunt in November, kill ourselves a nice elk. Try if I can get Don Wroe's cabin again - we had a nice time that year, didn't we?
-
Never enough time, never enough
:\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'(
-

-
Jack, I gotta work. In them earlier days I used to quit the jobs
-

-
Them earlier days I used to quit the jobs.
-
Let me tell you, I can't quit this one and I can't get the time off
-
I tell you, I can't quit this time. and I can't get the time off either
-

-
I gotta say this to you one time Jack f**kin' Twist, and I ain't foolin'
-
What O don't know, all them things I don't know... could get you killed if I should come to know them.
-

-
Go ahead!
-

-
But, you didn't want it, Ennis
-
You wouldn't do it, Ennis, so what we got now is Brokeback Mountain.
-
Everything built on that
-
everything's built on that, that's all we got boy, f***kin' all, so I hope you know that if you never know the rest
-
Count the damn few times we been together in nearly twenty years, and then measture the short f**kiing leash you keep me on, then ask me about Mexico and tell me you'll kill me for needing something I don't hardly never get
-
Count the damned few times we been together in nearly twenty years.

Oh your the fishin buddy or the huntin buddy, I know that
(we skipped)
Who? Who is this?
-
Ennis del Mar...I'm an old buddy of Jack's
-
Jack used to mention you.
-
you're the fishing buddy or the hunting buddy, I know that
-
Would have let you know, but wasn't sure about your name and address.
-
Oh your the fishin buddy or the huntin buddy, I know that
Would have let you know, but wasn't sure about your name or address...Jack kept his friends addresses in his head.
-
Why I was callin', to see what happened...
-
Why I was callin' - to see what happened
:\'( :\'(
-
Oh yeah. Jack was pumping up a flat on the truck out on a back road when the tire blew up.
-
The rim of the tire blew into his face crushing his jaw
-
broke his nose and jaw, knocked him unconscious on his back...by the time somebody had come along, he had drowned in his own blood
-
... knocked him unconcious on his back.
-
It was a terrible thing...he was only 39 years old
-
...Hello?
-
He buried down there?
-
They put a stone up, half his ashes are interned there the other half are with his folks
-
He used to say he wanted his ashes scattered on Brokeback Mountain, but I wasn't sure where it was.
-
I thought Brokeback Mountain might be around where he grew up
-
but knowin' jack it must have been some pretended place
-
Where the bluebirds sing and there is a whiskey spring.
-
No, ma'am, we was herding sheep up on Brokeback one summer, back in '63
-
Well he said it was his favorite place.
-
I thought he meant to get drunk - he drank a lot
-
His fokes still up in Lightning Flat?
-
they'd be there until they die
-
Um, thank you for your time.
-
Get in touch with his fokes. I think they'll appreciate it if his wishes were carried out, half the ashes remain.
-
(We skipped)
I am sure am sorry... we was good friends...
Get in touch with his fokes. I think they'll appreciate it if his wishes were carried out.
About the ashes I mean.
-
Want a cup of coffee, don't you? Piece of cherry cake?
-
new scene: Ennis at Jack's parent's ranch
Jack's Mom: Want a cup of coffee don't you? Piece of cherry cake?
-
Thank you ma'am. I'll take a cup of coffee, but I can't eat no cake just now.
-
I feel awful bad about Jack...can't begin to tell you how bad I feel
-
If you want me to take his ashes up there on Brokeback I would be happy to do it.
-
Tell you what. I know where Brokeback Mountain is.
-
Ennis Del Mar he used to say
-
Tell you what. I know where Brokeback Mountain is.
(we skipped)
He tought he was too goddamm special to be buried in the familly plot.
Jack used a say, Ennis Del Mar he used to say.
I'M goin' a bring him up here one a theese days and we'll lick this damn ranch into shape.
-
Then he was gonna bring some other fella, some rancher
-
Then he was gonna bring some other fella, some rancher
We forgot:
He had some half-baked notion the two of you was goin' a move up here, build a cabin, help run the place.
Then this spring he's got another fella's goin' a come up here with him and build a place and help run the ranch, so ranch neighbor a his from down Texas, He's goin' a split up with his wife and come back here.
So he says. But like most a Jack's ideas it never come to pass.
-
I kept his room like it was when he was a boy. I think he appreciated that.
-
You are welcome to go up to his room, if you want.
-
I'd like that ma'am, thank you. :-\\
-
Ennis enters Jack's closet and discovers his and Jack's shirts from the first summer together on Brokeback Mountain. He discovers his shirt is embracing Jack's shirt. Ennis, now in shock at discovering just how much Jack loved him, puts the shirts to his face to smell them and says,
I love you.
Note: Not everyone hears this.
-
(never heard it, we won't start this here ;) :-X)
Tell you what, we got a familly plot and he's goin' in it.
-

One more time....from the top..... :c)
(Scene: outside the Farm and Ranch Employment trailer, Signal, Wyoming, 1963)
Shit....
-
you pair a duces looking for work I suggest you get yer scrawny asses in here pronto.
-
Now up on Brokeback the Forest Service got designated campsites on the allotments
-
Them sites can be three, four miles from where we pasture the woollies.
-
Bad predator loss if there's nobody lookin' after 'em at night.
-
Now what I want
is a camp tender in the main camp where
the Forest Service says, but the herder...
-
pitch a pup tent ont the Q.T. with the sheep, and he's going to sleep there. Eat your supper, breakfast in camp,.....
-
...but you sleep with the sheep, hundred percent, no fire, don't leave no sign. You roll up that tent every mornin' case Forest Service snoops around.
-
Yeah? No. No. Not on your f***in' life.
-
You got your dogs, your 30/30...you sleep there.
-
Last summer I had goddamn near 25% loss, I don't want that again.
-
You (looks at Ennis) Friday's at noon be down at the bridge with your mules and your next weeks list. Someone with supplies will be there to meet you.
-
Tomorrow mornin' we'll truck you up to the jump-off.
-
Aguirre dismisses them with a look. They leave his office.
Jack spits, lights a cigarette, offers his hand to Ennis and says..."Jack Twist" Ennis takes his hand and replies, "Ennis".
-
Your folks just stop an Ennis?
-
Del Mar
(BTW - I like the way this is going so far....scene descriptions as well as dialogue!)
-
Nice to know you, Ennis del Mar.
-
(New scene - Jack and Ennis in a bar in Signal)
My second year up here. Last year a lighting storm killed 42 sheep, thought I was gonna asphyxiate from the smell.
-
Aguirre got all over my ass, like I was supposed to control the weather.
-
Still, beats workin' for my old man - can't please my old man, no way.
-
(Jack coughs - I love that cough ^*())
Its why I took the rodeo....you ever rodeo?
-
Uh, you know...once in a while...when I got the entry fee in my pocket.
-
you from ranch people?
-
I was...
-
your folks run you off?
-
No, they run themselves off..
-
One curve in the road in 43 miles...and they missed it
-
So the bank took the ranch, and my brother and sister, they raised me mostly.
-
shit, thats hard
-
Can I?...Lights cigarette.
-
(New scene, next morning at the jump off)
One thing - don't never order soup. Them soup boxes is hard to pack.
-

You want to watch it there. That horse has a low startle point.

-
Where the hell have you been? I been up with the sheep all day, come in hungry as hell, and all I find is beans
-
what in the hell happened, Ennis?
-
a bear is what happened
-
Come on a bear's what happened. Goddamn horse spooked, mules took off, scattered food everywhere. Beans is about all we got left
-
Whiskey.
-

-
Dumbass mules!
(Yeah - I've wanted to do that line since this thread started!!)
-

-

-
We're suppose to guard the sheep not kill em
-
I'll stik to beans
-
Well I won't.
-

Let's get out of here...we don't want Game and Fish to catch us with no elk
-
I'm commuting four hours a day
-
come in for breakfast, then go back to the sheep. In the evening get them bedded down, come in for supper and then go back to the sheep
-
Spend half the night checkin' for damn coyotes. Aguirre got no right makin' me do this.
-
You wanna switch...I wouldn't mind sleeping out there
-
you wanna switch? I don't mind sleeping out there
-
That ain't the point...the point is we should both be in this camp
-
Wouldn't mind bein' out there

Looked like he could eat himself a camel
-

-
Money's a good point

(I acutally did this one by memory, os it might be messed up a bit)
-
My old man, he was a bullrider, pretty well known in his days, though he kept all the secerets to himself. never taught me a thing, never once come to see me ride.

The penticost...see I don't know what the Penticost is

I Think it's that the world ends and boys like us march off to hell
-
Uh uh, speak for yourself.
-
You may be a sinner, but i ain't yet had the opportunity
(I love this lline) :8
-
You may be a sinner, but I ain't yet had the oppurtunity.

You can't hardly stand,

-
That next summer, I drove back up to Brokeback, talked to Aguirre 'bout a job.
-
he told me you hadn't been back, so I left...headed out to Texas for rodeoing
-
How I met Lureen. Made $2,000 that year bullridin', nearly starved.
-
Lureen's old man's got some serious money...farm machinery business. Course he hates my guts.
-
Hmm. And the army didn't get you?
(Aw, Ennis is so sweet - remembering everything Jack said when they parted)
-
Army didn't get you?
-
No too busted up
-
And rodeo ain't like it was in my daddy's time.
-
Got out while I could still walk.
-
Swear to God I didn't know we were going
to get into this again.
(pause)
Hell yes, I did. Red-lined it all the
way, couldn't get here fast enough. What
about you?
( I like this part and couldn't resist doing the whole thing ;D )
-
Me? I don't know.
-
old Brokeback got us good, didn't it?
-
What are we gonna do now?
-
I think there's nothing we can do
-
I doubt there's nothin' we can do.
I'm stuck with what I got here. Makin' a
living's about all I got time for now.
-
Me and Jack's heading up to the mountains for a day or two.
-

It could be like this, just like this always

-
Together, it could be a sweet llife?
(so sad)

He more or less already said it
-
No it ain't gonna be that way
-
You got your life in Texas, and I got my life here in Riverton
-
That so you and Alma that's a life
-
Now you shut up about Alma, this aint her fault
-
Bottom line, we're around each other and this thing grabs on to us again in the wrong place, wrong time, we'll be dead.
-
bottom line is, we are around each other and this thing gets hold of us, in the wrong place at the wrong time and we're dead
-
I tell you...there was these two old guys ranched up together down home - Earl and Rich. They was the joke of the town, even though they were tough old birds.
-
they found Earl dead in a drainage ditch
-
They'd took a tire iron to him...spurred him up....drug him round by his dick till it pulled off
-
You seen this?
-
I was...what...9 years old. My daddy made sure me and my brother seen it.
-
for all I know he done the job.
-
Two guys livin' together? No way. We can get together once in a while way the hell out in the middle of nowhere but....
-
Once in awhile, every four blanking years?
-
If you can't fix it, Jack, you gotta stand it
-

-
Long as we can ride it - ain't no reins on this one :\'( :\'( :\'(
(Yes there are - I'm right here ;D)

-
YOu know you have been going up to Wyoming all these year, why can't you buddy come down here to fish
-
Because the big hornmouths (??) aren't in Texas

-

-
Yeah, well, I'll be back in a week.
-

-
Well I don't have your Godd*mn parka. You know, you're worse than Bobby when it comes to losing things.

-
I thought you were gonna call.

We missed:

And now:
or I'll knock your ignorant ass into next week!
-
Daddy tell the story about when you rode broncs
-
That's a short story honey...I was only on that bronc about three seconds...
-
Next thing I knew I was flyin' through the air....
-
then I went flying through the air
-
Only i wasn't no angel like and Jenny, and I didn;t have no wings.
( Or any idea of English grammar.)
-
Ennis you should get married again, the girls and I worry about you being alone so much
-
Once burned...
-
Do you still go fishing with Jack Twist?
-
Not often.
-
I used to wonder why you never brought any trouts home
-
you always said you caught plenty and you know how much me and the girls like fish
-
so I got your case open the night before you went on one of your little trips...prise tag still on it after 5 years....
-
...and i tied a note on the end of the line...
-
it said 'hello ennis, bring some fish home, love alma'
-
...And then you come back, looking all perky like...
-
saying you caught plenty and you ate them all up
-
do you remember?
-
I looked in that case for a chance I got and there was my note still tied there
-
That line never touched water in its life
-
now that don't mean nothing alma
-
(this is fun! lol.)
Dont try and fool me no more, Ennis, I know what it means.
-
( ooooooh, I LOVE THIS! )
Jack Twist....JACK NASTY!!! YOU DIDN'T GO UP THERE TO FISH...you and him....
-

Ennis says, "Alma..."
And then she goes into the Jack Nast rant.
Jack Nasty. You didnt go up there to fish. You and him...
Now you listen to me, you dont know nothin' about it
-
I'm gonna yell for monroe....

-
Hey a**hole watch where you're goin'?!
-
you stupid f***!
-
(time to be Jack now! :P)
All I'm sayin' is, what's the point to makin' it?
-
If the taxes don't get it, inflation eats it all up.
-
You should see Lureen, punchin' numbers into her addin' machine, huntin' for extra zeros...
-
looks like a rabbit trying to get into a snakehole with the coyote on it's tail
-
actually i think we missed a line...
"..her eyes gettin' smaller and smaller, it's like watchin' a rabbit tryin' to squeeze itno a snakehole with a coyote on its tail."
(Ennis time)
That's some high-class entertainment
-
For what it's worth.
-
Lureen. You and her, it's normal and all?
-
(Jack nods)
She don't never suspect?
-
You ever get the feeling, I don't know, like you go into to town and someone looks at your suspicious, like they know...
-
Then you go outside and everyone's lookin' at you...like they all know too?
-
Maybe it's time you moved outta there
(it was you twit ...sorry I get Mad at Ennis at this scene)
-
Move some place new, maybe Texas (I'm gonna cry :\'( )
TEXAS?
(Ennis, yer a prick) ;D
-
sure, and maybe you'll convince Alma to let you and Lureen could adopt the girls
(I feel like crying myself :\'()
-
and it will rain money from L.D.Newsome and whisky will flow in streams, that's real smart jack!
-
go to hell Ennis Del Mar. you wanna live your miserable f**kin' life? go right ahead. I was just thinking out loud
-
yp, you're a real thinker

-
This morning I was castrating a calf

-
OMG new scene: Jack and Lureen at charity dinner with Randall and LaShawn
LaShawn: Well I pledged Tri Delt at SMU and I sure never thought I'd end up in a pokey little place like Childress
-
but I met old Randall here
-
he was an animal husbandry major and we been here a month...he got the foreman's job at Roy Taylor's ranch.
-
Like it or not, here I am!
-
oh, you were Tri Delt? I was Kappa Phi myself
-
well although we're not quite sorority sisters we may just have to dance with ourselfes Lureen...
-
Our husbands ain't the least bit interested in dancin', they don't seem to have s smidgin of rhythm between 'em.
-
husbands, don't seem to ever want to dance with their wifes. why do you think that is jack?
-
Ain't never give it a thought
-
you wanna dance?
-
Yes. Thank you for asking me to dance, I really appreciate that, I really do. Randall never does.
-
Thank you for asking me to dance, I really appreciate that...I really do....Randall never asks me to dance, I think the last time was at our wedding.
-
It's a good thing that you and Lureen happened along when you did, or else we'd still be stuck on the side of the road in that dern pickup.
-
ever notice how a woman will powder her nose before a party starts
-
Then she'll powder it again once the party's over?
-
( we skipped the whole freakin' LaShawning part...but hell, I ain't doing it! :8 )
I mean, why powder her nose just to go home and go to bed?
-
Dont know. Even if I wanted to know, couldnt get a word in with Lashawn long enough to ask.
-
Woman talks a blue streak.
-
Lively little gal.
-
You'll like working for Roy Taylor. He's solid, Roy.
-
Yeah. Roy, he's a good ole boy.
-
He's got a little cabin down on Lake Kemp. Got a croppie house, a little boat.
-
Said I could use it whenever I want.
-
We oughta go down there some weekend. Drink a little whiskey, fish some
-
get away, ya know?
-
...when I was right out of SMU I coulda had my pick of pretty much any job in North Dallas, so my pick was Neiman Marcus which was a disaster because where clothes is concerned, honey, I got no resistance
-
I was spending more than I made, more than Randall will ever make
-
we come out here thinking ranching was still big hats and marlboros, boy, were we behind the times...
-

-
I'll pick you and Jenny up after Church on Sunday
-
Wait... you skipped the whole scene!
hey there junior!
...you ready?
and then Cassie and Junior at the diner:
whaddya think, your daddy ever gonna see fit to settle down again?
-

-
Or do you think I'm no the one for him
-
You're good enough.
-
YOu don't say much but you get your point across
-
Sorry. I didn't mean to be rude.
-
Come on, Cowboy, you're stayin on your feet
-
I'll pick you and Jenny up next weekend after church.
-
you alright?
-
Daddy I was thinking, Mom and Monroe have gone all strict on me, me more than Jenny
-
I was thinking maybe...maybe I could come and stay with you, Daddy...I'd be a big help, I know I would
-
I'm not set up for that, got the round up coming up
-
with the roundup coming up, I wouldn't never be home
-
it's okay daddy, I understand.
-
See you on Sunday then...bye, Sweetheart
-

-

-
I been putting the blocks to this cute little ole gal in Riverton...waitress wants to be a nurse...I don't know
-
i've been putting the blocks to a good looking woman in Riverton, wants to be a nurse...I don't know
-
What about you and Lureen?
-
she's good at making business but as far as our marriage is concerned, we can do it over the phone
-
I kinda got a thing going with this ranch foreman's wife down the road in Childress
-
I'm gonna get shot by her husband or Lureen each time I slip off to see her
-
well, you probably deserve it
-
tell you what....truth is....sometimes I miss you so much I can hardly stand it.
:\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'(
-
I guess I'll head on up to Lightning Flat. See the folks for a day or two.
-
Theres somethin' i been meaning to tell ya, bud
-
It's likely November before I can get away again, after we ship stock and before the winter feedin' starts.
-
November? What in the H*ll happened to August?!
-
Christ, Ennis, you had a whole f*ckin' week to say some little word about this.
-
And why is it we're always in the friggin cold?! We oughta go south where it's warm! We oughta go to Mexico!
-
Mexico? Hell...you know me. 'Bout all the travelin' I ever done is goin' around the coffeepot, lookin' for the handle.
-
Lighten up on me Jack. We can hunt in November; kill a nice elk.
-
Try if I can to get Don Wroe's cabin again. We had a good time that year, didn't we?
-
There's never enough time; never enough. :(
-
You know friend, this is one goddamn b*tch of a unsatisfactory situation.
-
You used to come away easy; now it's like seeing the pope.
-
Jack, I got to work. Them earlier days I'd just quit the jobs. You forget how it is, bein' broke all the time.
-
You ever hear of child support? Let me tell you; I can't quit this one.
-
And I can't get the time off. Was tough enough gettin' this time. the trade-off was August.
-
You got a better idea?
-
I did, once.
-
Ya been to Mexico Jack fu**in' Twist
-
I heard about what they got in Mexico for boys like you.
-
Hell, yes I been ta mexico is that a fu**in problem!?
-
I got a say this to you one time, Jack f*ckin' Twist. And I ain't foolin'. What I don't know, all them things I don't know...could get you killed if I should come to know them. And I ain't jokin'.
-
Try this one - and I'll say it just one time!
-
Go ahead!
-
Tell you what - we could've had a good life together, a f*ckin real good life! Had us a place of our own. But you didn't want it Ennis!
-
So what we got now, is Brokeback Mountain! Everything built on that. It's all we got boy, f*ckin' all, so I hope you know that if you don't never know the rest!
-
You count the d*mn few times we been together in nearly 20 years! Measure the short f*ckin leash you keep me on! Then ask me about Mexico and tell me you'll kill me for needin somethin I don't hardly never get!
-
You have no idea how bad it gets. I mean, I'm not like you. I can't make it on a couple of high altitude f*cks once or twice a year.
-
You are too much for me Ennis, you son of a whoreson bitch.
-
I wish I knew how to quit you! :\'( :\'(
-
Well why don't you then?! Why don't you let me be?! It's cause of you, Jack, that I'm like this. I'm nothin', I'm nowhere...
-
Can't go there just now. :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'(
-
Get the f*ck off me!
-
Come here...it's alright....it's alright.....damn you Ennis...
-
(flashback flashback :P)
Come on now, you're sleepin' on your feet like a horse.
-
We forgot:
I just can't stand this anymore Jack.
(flashback flashback :P)
Come on now, you're sleepin' on your feet like a horse.
My mama used to say that to me...and sing...
-
(oh wow we did)
I got to go.
-
See you in the mornin'. <^(
-
Hey Ennis del Mar. Where ya been?
-
Here and there.
-
I left word with Steve at the ranch. And you must have gotten those notes I left at your place.
-
Looks like I got the message in any case.
-
Carl? Yeah, Carl's nice. He even talks.
-
Well then, good for you.
-
Yeah, well, good for me.
-
I don't get you Ennis Del Mar.
-
I'm sorry. Was probably no fun anyway, was I?
-
Ennis, girls don't fall in love with fun!
-
Hello?
-
Uh hello? This is Ennis Del Mar...uh...
-
Who? Who is this?
-
Ennis Del Mar...I'm an old buddy of Jack's...I...
-
Jack used to mention you. You're the fishing buddy or the hunting buddy, I know that.
-
Woulda let you know what happened but wasn't sure about your name or address....Jack kept his friends' addresses in his head.
-
Why I was callin', to see what happened....
-
Yeah, Jack was pumpin up a flat on the truck out on a back road when the tire blew up.
-
The rim of the tire slammed into his face and broke his nose and jaw, knocked him unconcsious on his back.
-
By the time somebody came along, he had drowned in his own blood. He was only 39 years old.
:\'( :\'(
-
....Hello???
-
Is he buried down there?
-
We put a stone up. He was cremated, like he wanted, and half his ashes was interred here. The rest I sent up with his folks.
-
He used to say he wanted his ashes scattered on Brokeback Mountain, but I wasn't sure where that was.
-
I thought Brokeback Mountain might be where he grew up. But knowing Jack, it might be some pretend place where the bluebirds sing and there's a whiskey spring.
-
No ma'am, we was herding sheep up on Brokeback one summer......back in '63.
-
(thanks for the congratulations Flwchild! this has been really great posting in here. hope you have a good night/morning. :P)
Well, he said it was his favorite place. I thought he meant to get drunk. he drank a lot.
-
(same to you! It's been fun!)
His folks still up in Lightnin' Flat?
-
(ok last one for me)
They'll be there till the day they die.
-
(night TD! :))
I thank you for your time...I sure am sorry...we was good friends...
-
Have a cup of coffee, won't you? Piece of cherry cake?
-
Yes ma'am I'll have a cuppa coffee, but I can't eat no cake just now.
-
I feel awful bad about Jack. . . can't begin to tell you how bad I feel. I knew him a long time.
I come by to say that if you want me to take his ashes up there on Brokeback like his wife said he wanted, I'd be happy to.
-
Tell you what, I know where Brokeback Mountain is
-
he thought he was too damn good to be buried in the family plot
-
Jack used a say, 'Ennis del Mar,' he used a say,'I'm goin' a bring him up here one a these days and we'll lick this damn ranch into shape.'
[I refuse to include a description of JT's actions at this point.]
-
He had some half baked notion the two of you was gonna move up here, build a cabin, help run the place
-
Then this spring he's got another fella, a rancher, gonna leave his wife, gonna come up and help run the place
-
some neighbour of his from Texas
-
He's gonna split with his wife and come out here
-
So he's says.
-
but like most of Jack's ideas it never come to pass
-
I kept his room like it was when he was a boy. I think he appreciated that.
-
You are welcome to go up to his room if you want
-
I'd like that, ma'am, thank you.
-
tell you what we got a family plot he's going in it
-
tell you what we got a family plot he's going in it
One of the saddest lines
Yes sir
-
You come back and see us again.
-
Yeah
-
you come back and see us again...
-
Thank you for this
-
Thank you for this
End of scene, but when does Ennis say this? I've never heard him say that before
-
he says thank you under his breath
-
(wow movie's almost done :P)

No. They run themselves off. One curve in the road in 43 miles, and they miss it. Killed 'em both.
Bank took the ranch. Brother and sister raised me, mostly.
-
Sheet that's hard
-
Brokeback trailhead: Basque.
Don't let 'em stray. Joe'll have your ass, if you do. Only thing, don't never order soup.
Them soup boxes are hard to pack.
-
I don't like soup
-
That horse looks like it's got a low startle point.
-
I doubt there's a mare that could throw me
-
Let's get, 'less you wanna stand around and tie knots all day.
Scene change to Brokeback Mountain, next morning, breakfast.
-
Shit. Can't wait 'til I got my own spread, won't have to put up with Joe Aguirre's crap no more.

Jack: What in hell happened Ennis?
Ennis: Come on a bear.
Goddamn horse spooked, the mules took off. Scattered food everywhere.
Beans 'bout all we got left.
Ennis: Whiskey.
-
Well, we got to do somethin' 'bout this food situation.
-
Maybe I'll shoot one of the sheep.
-
What if Aguirre finds out?
-
We're supposed to guard the sheep, not eat them.
-
What's the matter with you? There's a thousand of 'em.
-
I'll stick with beans.
-
Well I won't.
-
New scene (Ennis shooting the elk)

Jack: I'm commutin' four hours a day. Come in for breakfast, go back to the sheep, evenin' grt 'em bedded down, come in for supper, go back to the sheep, spend half the night checkin' for damn coyotes.
Aguirre got no right to make me do this.
-
Do ya wanna switch?
-
you wanna switch? I wouldn't mind sleeping out there
-
Ain't the point. Point is, we both ought to be in this camp. And that goddamn pup tent smells like cat piss or worse.
-
Wouldn't mind bein' out there.
-
Happy to switch but give you warnin', I cant cook worth a damn.
-
I'm pretty good with the can opener, though.

-
Money's a point
**Ennis makes some agreeing noise**
Sure enough, if ya don't get stomped winnin' it, huh?
-
Jack: My ol' man was a bullrider, pretty well knowed in his day, though he kept his secrets to himself. Never taught me a thing. Never once come to see me ride.
-
Your brother and sister do right by you?
-
Ennis: Did the best they could after my folks was gone, considerin' they didn't leave us nothin' but $24 in a coffee can.
Ennis' tongue loosens suddenly.
-
Got me a year a high school before the transmission went on the pickup.
-
Ennis: My sis left, married a roughneck, moved to Casper.
-
Me and my brother we went and got ourself work on a ranch up near Worland until I wqs nineteen.

-
That's how come me ended up here.

Silence
Jack looks over at Ennis, smiles
What?

-
Hell, that's the most I've spoke in a year.

My dad now, he was a fine roper.

Jack: The hell they are!

Ennis: well... (or whatever he was mumbling there)

Jack gets up, does a pretend bullride around the campfire, bucking and twisting...
Yeehaw! Yeehaw! I'm spurring his guts out!.....

-
No way! Yeeee-haaw!
-
I think my dad was right
-
tent don't look right
-
Well it ain't goin' nowhere - leave it be
-
that harmonica don't sound right
-
That's cause it got kinda flattened when that mare threw me...
-
Ennis: I thought you said that mare couldn't throw you.
-
Well she got lucky.
-
If I was lucky, that harmonica woulda broke in two.
-
Scene change: Jack and Ennis sit by fire as Jack sings a pentacostal hymn.
Jack: "I know I shall meet you on that final day, Water walkin' Jesus, take me away..."
-
Very good...
-
Jack: My mama, she believes in the Pentecost.
-
wha' 'xactly is the pentecost, my folks, they was methodist?
-
Pentacost... I don't know what the Pentacost is. mom never explained it to me.
-
(Jack) I guess it's when the world ends and fellas like you and me march off to Hell.
-
Ennis: Uh uh, speak for yourself. You may be a sinner, but I ain't yet had the opportunity.
-
Sh*t. I'm goin' to go up to the sheep.
-
Give 'em hell.
-
Jack : You can't hardly stand, its too late to go to them sheep.
-
You got an extra blanket, I'll roll up out here and grab forty winks, ride out at first light.
-
Jack throws him a blanket.
Ennis rolls up in it, lays by the fire.
Jack: Freeze your ass off when that fire dies down. Better off sleepin' in the tent.
-
Later that night...Ennis is shivering outside, Jack wakes and hears him
Ennis!

Huh ?

JACK: Told me you hadn't been back there, so I left. Headed down to Texas for rodeoin'.
-
How i met Lureen
-
JACK: Made $2,000 that year bullridin', nearly starved.
-
Lureen's Dad there's serious money there
-
Lureen's old man's got some serious money, farm machine business.
-
Course he hates my guts.
-
course he hates my guts
-
ENNIS: Army didn't get you?
-
Nope, too busted up.
-
No too busted up
-
rodeoing aint what it was
-
got out while I could still walk.
-
Swear to God I didn't know we was going to get into this again.
-
oh the hell I didn't, I red lined it all the way up here
-
What about you?
-
Me....I dont know
-
Old Brokeback got us good dont' it
-
what are we gonna do now?
:-\\
-
I doubt theres nothing we can do
-
I'm stuck here with what i got
-
making a living's all I got time for now
-
New scene.
Me and Jack's heading uo to the mountains for a day or two.
-
do a little fishing
-
You know, your friend could come inside, have a cup of coffee..
-
he's from Texas
-
Texans don't drink coffee?
-
sure that foreman won't fire you for taking off?
-
That foreman owes me. I worked on a blizzard last christmas, remember? Besides, it's just a couple of days.
-
catch me a fish Daddy
-
Come here.
-
See you Sunday latest
-
Last one in...!
-
anything interesting up there in heaven
-
I was just sending a prayer of thanks.
-
for what?
-
For you forgettin' to bring that harmonica. I'm enjoyin' the peace and quite.
-
you know it could be like this, just like this always
-
Yeah, how you figure that?
-
what if you and me had a littel cow and calf operations, could be a sweet life.
-
Hell, Lureen's old man, you bet he'd give me a downpayment if I'd get lost. He already more or less said it..
-
Told you it ain't gonna be that way
-
What I'm sayin', you got your wive and baby down in Texas, and I got my life in Riverton.
-
that so you and Alma that's a life
-
Shut up about Alma. This ain't her fault.
-
bottom line we're around each other and this thing takes hold of us, and we're dead
-
There was these two old guys ranched up together down home, Earl and Rich.
-
they were the town joike even though they were pretty tough old birds
-
They found Earl dead in an irrigation ditch.
-
they took a tire iron to him and spurred him up by his dick til it pulled off.
-
you seen this?
-
I was what, nine years old?
-
Hell, for all I know he done the job.
-
two guys living together no way.
-
Now, we can get together once in a while, way the hell out in the middle of nowhere....
-
Once in awhile, every four !@#$ years?
-
Now Jack, if you can't fix it, you gotta stand it :\'(
-
for how long? :-\\
-
ENNIS: Long as we can ride it.
Ain't no reins on this one.
-
**Wings plays and Jack rubs Ennis's ear, one of my fav. parts in the movie. New scene.**
-
suppers on the stove
-
ENNIS: No one's eatin' it unless you're servin' it, Alma.
-
I already promised I would take the shift.
-
ENNIS: Well tell him you made a f**kin' mistake.
-
God Damnit Alma
-
ENNIS: Hey!
-
You girls need a push?
-
no
-
didn't that piss ant used to ride the bulls?
-
He used to try :\'(
-
Honey you seen my blue parka?
-
LUREEN: Last time I seen it you was in it...that day we had that big ice storm.
-
well I could swore I left it here
-
LUREEN: You know, you been going up to Wyoming all these years. Why can't your buddy come down here to Texas and fish?
-
Because the Big Horn Mountains ain't in Texas. besides, I don't thing his pick up could make it down here.
-
LUREEN: New models coming in this week,
remember...and you're the best combine
salesman we got...the only combile
salesman, in fact. Daddy can't drive
these newfangled combines.
-
well, I'll be back in a week, unless I freeze to death, and I'll freeze if I don't find that parka
-
LUREEN: I don't have your goddamn parka. You're worse than Bobby when it comes to losing stuff.
-
Speaking of Bobby, did you call his teacher?
-
I thought you was gonna call
-
I complain to much, that teacher don't like me
-
And now it's your turn
-
alright, alright, fine, I'll call later.
-
JACK: Gotta go, got fourteen hours of driving ahead of me.
#2100
-
see now, it don't seem fair... you goin' up there 2, 3 times a year... with him never comin' down here.
-
Youre late
-
Look what I brought.
-
beans!
-
Gonna fix 'em just the way I used to.
-
I think we forgot an entire scene after Jack and Lureen.
ENNIS: You be good for your mama.
ALMA: Ennis...they got a openin' over at the power company. Might be good pay.
ENNIS: Clumsy as I am, I'd probably get electrocuted.
ALMA JR: Daddy, the church picnic's next weekend. Will you be back from fishin' by next weekend?
JENNY: Can't you take us, Daddy? please?
ENNIS: All right...long as I don't have to sing.
ALMA: You forgettin' something?
SCENE CHANGE TO MOUNTAINS
JACK: You're late.
ENNIS: Look what I brought.
JACK: Beans
ENNIS: Gonna fix 'em just the way I use to.
-
Ok wait.... I don't remember anything about the 'beans' part.
After Ennis says 'Look what I brought' (meaning the hourses) the next thing he says is 'This way' (when they are riding on the hourses in the next scene.)
Am I going crazy?
-
OOOOOOkay....... I know what you guys are talking about now.
I just watched the scene a couple times with the subtitles and they don't show the 'beans' part...... but then I turned it up louder and listened again and I heard it! I was like "Ooooohhh 'beans'...."
-
Plus we are cheating, it's in the screen play
-
Well, since the next bit in the screen play isn't in the movie as far as I can hear, I'm going to the next scene, Jack with Bobby.
Whoa, son, there you go.
-
No hands (I think...)
-
It's all yours, Bobby. It's all yours.
-
Well, since the next bit in the screen play isn't in the movie as far as I can hear, I'm going to the next scene, Jack with Bobby.
I don't understand why you can not hear Jack say, "You're late" and Ennis say, "Look what I brought" etc. etc. etc. It is said so clearly on my copy of the film.
-
SCENE CHANGE: ENNIS FEEDS THE CATTLE
ENNIS: Come on! Come on!
-
New scene.
It's saturday night. We could still smarten up, head over to the church social.
-
ENNIS: That fire-and-brimstone crowd?
-
I think it'd be nice.
-
SCENE CHANGE: ENNIS AND ALMA MAKING LOVE
ALMA: As far behind as we are on the bills, it makes me mervous not to take no precautions....
-
If you don't want no more of my kids, I'll be happy to leave you alone.
-
I'd have 'em if you'd support 'em.
-
Scene change: Ennis and Alma in a bleak little courthouse
...Custody of the two minor children, Alma Jr. and Jennifer del Mar, is awarded to plaintiff.
-
Defendant is ordered to pay child support of $125 a month, for each of the minor children until they reach the age of 18 years...
Del Mar divorce granted, this 6th day of November 1975.
-
what're you doing here?
-
Got your message 'bout the divorce.
-
This is my friend, Jack.
-
these are my girls Alma jr and Jenny
-
say hi girls...
-
I got your card about the divorce, so here I am :(
-
ENNIS: Yeah.
-
Had to ask about 10 people where you'd moved to
-
I guess I thought this meant you'd.....
-
ENNIS: Jack...Jack, I don't know what to say.
(What a dumb SOB! Say yes you fool!!!)
-
See... I got the girls this weekend.
-
ENNIS: I'm sure as hell sorry. You know I am.
-
See, I only get them once a month, and I missed last month. So I just.... because of the roundup.
(It's so sad because I'm sure the girls would have been just fine with Jack hanging out with them. But, ya know, Ennis doesn't think too clearly sometimes.... it's all fogged up by his fears) :(
-
ENNIS: (in agony now) ...Jack...
-
Yeah...all right.
-
I'll see you next month then
:\'( :\'( :\'(
-
SCENE CHANGE: Mexican male prostitute.
YOUNG MEXICAN: ...Senor...
-
Senor?
:\'(
-
here we go...
-
Whoa, there, Rodeo...the stud duck does the carving around here.
-
You bet, L D - was just saving you the trouble.
-
Bobby, if you dont eat your dinner, Im gonna have to turn off that television.
-
Why Mama? I'm gonna be eatin this food for the next two weeks.
-
Hey you heard your mama.
-
you can finish your meal and then you can watch the game
-
Daddy? Daddy!
-
hell, we don't eat with our eyes... you want your son to grow up to be a man, don't you daughter? boys should watch football
-
No until he fnishes a meal his Mama spent three hours fixing
-
Sit down you old son of a bitch!
-
this is my house, this is my child you're my guest
-
You sit down before I knock your ignorant ass into next week.
-
SCENE CHANGE: Ennis, Alma, Monroe and the two girls are sitting down to Thanksgiving Dinner.
ALMA JR.: Daddy, tell about when you rode broncs in the rodeo.
-
short story honey. only 'bout three seconds I was on that bronc, an' the next thing I knew I was flying through the air.
-
Only I wasn't no angel like you and Jenny, and I didn't have no wings.
-
ENNIS: And that's the story of my saddle bronc career.
-
New scene. Ennis and Alma in the kitchen.
You ought to get married again, Ennis. Me and the girls worry 'bout you bein' alone so much.
-
Once burned...
-
Do you still go fishing with Jack Twist?
-
not often
-
You know, I used to wonder how come you never brought any trouts home.
-
Always said you caught plenty and you know how me and the girls like fish.
-
so one day I got you creal case open the night before you went on one of your little trips...price tag still on it after 5 years...and I attached a note at the end of the line, said 'hello ennis, bring some fish home, love alma'...
( sorry, I got a little carried away, but alma's whole monologue seems like one big sentece to me so... )
-
and then you come back lookin all perky and said you'd caught a bunch of brownies and you ate them up. Do you remember?
-
I looked in that case for a chance I got, and there was my note still tied there, that hook didn't touch water in its life!!!!!!!!!!!
-
That don't mean nothin' Alma.
-
That don't mean nothing, Alma..
-
Dont try to fool me no more Ennis, I know what that means.
-
Jack Twist?
-
Jack Nasty..
-
You didn't go up there to fish. You and him...
-
You don't know nothing about it...
-
I'm going to yell for Monroe
-
You do that - I'll make you eat the f*ckin' floor - and him too
-
GET OUT, GET OUT ENNIS DEL MAR, GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!!!
-
Daddy!
-
Bye daddy!
-
SCENE CHANGE: Riverton street. Ennis walks in front of a truck that has to slam on the breaks or hit him.
ROUGHNECK: Hey, asshole, watch where you're goin'!
-
my point is what's the point of making it? If the taxes don't get it inflation will
-
You should see Lureen, punchin' numbers into her adding machine, huntin' for extra zeros, her eyes gettin' smaller and smaller. It's like watchin' a rabbit tryin' to squeeze into a snake hole with a coyote on its tail.
-
sounds like some high class entertainment if you ask me
-
JACK: For what it's worth.
-
ENNIS: Lureen. You and her, it's normal and all?
-
JACK: Sure
ENNIS: She don't never suspect?
(Sorry to have stolen two lines, but Jack's one wasn't exactly inspiring!!)
-
ENNIS: You ever get the feelin', I don't know, when you're in town, and someone looks at you, suspicious...like he knows. And then you get out on the pavement, and everyone, lookin' at you, and maybe they all know too?
-
well, maybe you oughta move somewhere else, set yourself up somewhere different, maybe Texas
-
ENNIS: Texas? Sure, and maybe you'll convince Alma to let you and Lureen adopt my girls, and then we could all live together, herding sheep, and it'll just rain money from L.D. Newsom, and whiskey'll flow in the streams, Jack. That's real smart.
-
Aw, go to hell, Ennis del Mar.
-
JACK: You want to live your miserable fu*kin' life, go right ahead.
-
I'll just think it out loud.
-
Yeah, you're a real thinker ain't you, Jack Twist
-
Yup, you're a real thinker there. God damn. Jack fu*kin' Twist, got it all figured out there ain't you.
-
Just finished my shift. Wanna dance?
-
I was just....
-
I'm Cassie...Cassie Cartwright.
-
Ennis....del Mar
-
no more dancing for me I hope
-
You're safe. My feet hurt.
-
hard work is it?
-
Yeah, drunks like you demanding beer after beer, smoking. Gets tiresome.
-
what do you do Ennis Del Mar?
-
Earlier today I was castratin' calves.
(our Ennis is such a smooth talker ::))
-
ENNIS: What are you doin'?
-
Tryin' to get a footrub....dummy.
-
SCENE CHANGE: Childress dance hall.
LASHAWN: Pledged Tri Delt at SMU and I sure never thought I'd end up in a pokey little place like Childress, but then I met Randall at an Aggie game, and he was an animal husbandry major, and we been here a month, he got the forman job over at Roy Taylor's ranch. Like it or not, here I am!
-
Oh, you was Tri Delt? (very frosty) I was Kappa Phi myself.
-
LASHAWN: Well, even though we ain't quite sorority sisters, we may have to dance with ourselves, Lureen. Our husbands ain't the least bit interested in dancin', they don't seem to have a smidgin of rhythm between 'em.
-
It's funny, ain't it? Husbands don't never seem to wanna dance with their wives. Why do you think that is, Jack?
-
JACK: Ain't never give it a thought.
(to Lashawn)
Wanna dance?
-
Thank you for asking me to dance with you, i appreciate that, i really do.
-
Randal never does...
-
it's a good thing we ran into you and Lureen when we did
-
otherwise we'd still be stuck on the road with that darn pickup
(?)
-
I told Randall we outta take the car but he didnt' listen to me, he never listens to me
-
he wouldn't listen to me if he were going deaf tomorrow, ha!
-
i told Randall it takes more than chewing gum and baling wire to keep a pickup goin'.
-
well, he's never been very mechanical though.
:8
-
Ever notice how a woman'll powder her nose before going to a party, then powder it again when the party's over? why powder your nose just to go home n' go to bed?
-
I don't know
-
even if I wanted to know couldn't get a word in edge wise with LeShawn the woman talks a blue streak
-
lively little gal
-
You'll like workin' for Roy Taylor - he's solid
-
yeah Roy, he's a good old boy
-
he's got a little cabin down at Lake Kemp. got a croppie house, little boat... said I can use it whenever I want.
-
We ought to go down there some weekend.
-
you know... get away.
-
drink whiskey, do a little fishing, you know?
(what a creep)
-
escape....
-
......when I was straight out of SMU I coulda had my pick of pretty much any job in North Dallas..
( as long as the customers were deaf?)
Blah, blah, blah...
...were we behind the times.
-
Hey there Junior, you ready?
-
new scene: Ennis, Junior and Cassie in bar
Cassie: Well, what do you think? You think your daddy's ever going to see fit to settle down again?
-
I don't know. Maybe he's not the marrying kind. ( ??? )
-
you don't think so? Or maybe you don't think I'm the one for him?
-
You're good enough.
-
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be rude.
-
We forgot: You don't talk much but you get your point across.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be rude.
-
Cassie pulls Ennis on to the dance floor
Cassie: Come on, cowboy...you're staying on your feet
-
SCENE CHANGE: Ennis drives Alma Jr. home.
ENNIS: I'll pick you and Jenny up next weekend after church.
-
Fine.
-
You all right? Yes Sure?
-
Daddy I was thinkin....what with the new baby and all....Ma and Monroe've been awful strict on me. More on me 'en Jenny even.
-
Daddy, I was thinking, maybe I could...maybe i could come stay with you, I know I'd be a big help I know I would
-
Now honey you know I ain't set up for that...and with the round-up coming, I won't ever be home.
-
ALMA JR.: It's all right Daddy.
-
I ain't sayin' i wouldn't want to...
-
no, really daddy, it's okay...
-
See you on Sunday then
-
ALMA JR: Bye
ENNIS: Bye sweetheart.
SCENE CHANGE: Jack and Ennis are sitting around the campfire by the lake sharing a bottle of whiskey and a joint.
-
It's gonna snow tonight for sure.
-
JACK: All this time, and you ain't found nobody else to marry?
(wishful thinking: ENNIS: No Jack, I am in love with you.)
-
Been putting the blocks to a cute little gal over in Riverton...waitress...wants to be a nurse...I don't know
-
what about you and lureen?
-
Lureen's good at making hard deals in the machinery business, but as far as our marriage is concerned, we could do it over the phone.
-
I kinda got a thing going with a ranch foreman's wife over in Childress
-
think I might get shot by lureen or her old man each time I slip off to see her
-
yeah, well you probably deserve it
-
Tell you what.....
-
the truth is, sometimes I miss you so much I can hardly stand it
(I just love that line) :\'( :\'( :\'(
-
SCENE CHANGE: Next morning, trailhead next to lake.
JACK: Guess I'll head on up to Lightenin' Flat. See the folks for a day or two.
-
there's something I've been meanin' to tell ya bud.
-
ENNIS: It's likely November before I can get away again, after we ship stock and before winter feedin' starts.
-
november? well what in hell ever happened to august?
-
JACK: Christ, Ennis, you had a f**kin' week to say some little word about this.
-
and why are we always in the frigging cold weather?
-
We oughta go south, where it's warm. You know, we oughta go to Mexico.
-
ENNIS: Mexico? Hell...you know me. 'Bout all the travelin' I ever done is goin' around the coffeepot, lookin' for the handle.
-
Lighten up on me Jack.
-
ENNIS: We can hunt in November, kill a nice elk. Try if I can get Don Wroe's cabin again. We had a good time that year, didn't we?
(Almost soulds like Ennis is saying there are years they don't have such a good time.)
-
Never enough time, never enough.
[And he has so little of it left.]
-
You know friend this is a G*ddamn bitch of an unsatisfactory situation.
-
JACK: You used to come away easy. Now it's like seein' the Pope.
-
Well, I gotta work Jack. In them early days I used to quit the jobs. You forget what it's like, bein' broke all the time. You ever hear a child support, huh? Well I tell you...I can't quit this one, and I can't get the time off. It was hard enough gettin' this time - the trade off was August.
You got a better idea?
(Sorry...got a bit carried away there...)
-
I did once
-
you did once... you ever been to Mexico Jack, huh? 'coz I heard what they got in Mexico for boys like you.
-
Hell yes i been in mexico, is that a fu**in' problem?
-
I'm going to say this one time Jack f*cking Twist
-
...and I ain't foolin'. what I don't know, all them things I don't know, could get you killed if I come to know them.
-
Try this one, and i'll say it just once.
-
And I ain't jokin'
-
go ahead
-
Tell you what, we could of had a good life together, a fu**in' real good life, had us a place of our own.
-
but you didnt want it Ennis
-
So what we got now is brokeback mountain.
-
thats all we got, boy, f*cking all, so I hope you know that, if you dont ever know the rest.
-
Count the damn few times we been together in nearly twenty years.
-
Measure the short f*ckin' leash you keep me on...then you ask me about Mexico and tell me you'll kill me for needin' somethin' I don't hardly never get
-
You got no idea how bad it gets.
:\'(
-
And I'm not you. I can't make it on a couple a high altitude f*cks once or twice a year.
-
You're too much for me, Ennis, you son of a whoreson bitch. I wish i knew how to quit you.
:\'(
-
Well why don't you then? Why don't you let me be, huh? It's because of you, Jack, that I'm like this...I'm nothin'...I'm nowhere...
:\'( :\'( :\'(
-
Then why dont you....why dont you just leave me be, huh
:\'( :\'( :\'(
-
ENNIS: Then why don't you?! Why don't you let me be? It's because of you, Jack, that I'm like this. I'm nothin'. I'm nowhere.
-
Ennis: Get the f**k off me
Jack: It's alright, it's alright....Damn you Ennis
-
Come on now, you're sleepin' on your feet like a horse.
-
my momma used to sing that to me, when I was little...
:\'( :\'( :\'( :\'(
-
I got to go. See you in the morning..
-
I gotta go - I'll see you in the mornin'
:\'( :\'( :\'( :\'(
(Oh why couldn't it be like that...just like that...always?)
-
Long pause...for crying purposes :\'( :\'(
New scene:
Cassie:
Hey, Ennis Del Mar, where you been?
-
Here and there..
-
I left word for you with steve at the ranch...and you must have got those notes I left at your place..
-
Well I guess I got the message in any case....
-
Carl? Yeah, Carl's nice...he even talks
-
good for you
-
yeah...good for me
-
I don't get you, Ennis del Mar.
-
sorry...probably wasnt much fun anyways was I
-
Ennis, girls don't fall in love with fun!
-
(Oh god...the really horrendous bit)
New Scene:
Lureen: Hello
Ennis: Hello, this is Ennis Del Mar
-
who? who is this?
-
Ennis Del Mar. An old buddy of Jack's.
-
oh, Jack used to mention you- you're the fishing buddy, or the hunting buddy, I know that.
-
Would've let you know about what happened, but I wasn't sure about your name or address. Jack kept his friends addresses in his head.
-
that's why I'm calling...to see what happened?
-
Oh yeah. Jack was pumping up a flat on the truck out on the back road when the tyre blew up. The rim of the tyre slammed into his face, broke his nose and jaw and knocked him unconscious on his back. By the time somebody came along he'd drowned in his own blood. He was only 39 years old.......
(God I hated writing that!) :\'(
-
Hello....hello?
-
Is he buried down there?
-
LUREEN: We put a stone up.
-
He was cremated, like he wanted. Half his ashes was interred here. The rest I sent up with his folks.
-
LUREEN: He use to say he wanted his ashes scattered on Brokeback Mountain, but I wasn't sure where that was.
-
Knowing Jack it could be some pretend place, with a whisky stream and blue birds sing
-
No ma'am, we was herding sheep up on Brokeback one summer.... back in '63.
-
Well, he said it was his favourite place..( :\'( :\'( :\'()
-
I thought he liked to go there to get drunk....he drunk a lot
-
LUREEN: I thought he meant to get drunk. He drank a lot.
-
His folks still up in Lightning Flat?
-
Be there till the day they die.
-
I thank you for your time...I sure am sorry...we was good friends.
-
Get in touch with his folks. I s'ppose they'd appreciate it if his wishes were carried out...about the ashes I mean.
-
Want a cup of coffee, don't you? Piece of cherry cake?
-
Yes, ma'am, I'll have a cup of coffee, but I can't eat no cake just now..
-
I feel awful bad about Jack...can't begin to tell you how bad I feel...I knew him a long time.
-
I came by to say that, if you want me to take his ashes up there on Brokeback like his wife said he wanted to, then I'd be happy to.
-
Tell you what: I know where Brokeback Mountain is. He thought he was too Goddamn special to be buried in the family plot.
-
Jack used to say, Ennis Del Mar, he used to say, I'm gonna bring him up here one o'these days and we're gonna lick this damn ranch into shape
-
He had some half-baked notion the two of you was gonna move up here, build a cabin, help run the place.
-
Then this spring he's got another fella gonna come up here - some ranch neighbour a his from Texas...
(Stop it! Ennis - don't believe him..... :\'()
-
He's gonna split up with his wife and come back here. But like most of Jack's ideas, it never come to pass.
-
Gonna split up with his wife and come back here, so he says, but like most of Jack's ideas it never came to pass.
-
I kept his room like it was when he was a boy.
-
I kept his room like it was when he was a boy.
-
I think he appreciated that.
-
You are welcomed to see his room..if you'd like.
-
Tell you what, we got a family plot, he's going in it
-
Yes, sir.
-
you come back and see us again.
-
Ennis: Thank you for this..
-
Hey Junior
-
Hey, Daddy.
-
Like the car?
-
is it yours?
-
It's Kurt's.
-
I thought you were dating Troy.
-
Troy? Daddy that was two years ago!
-
Troy still playin' baseball?
-
I don't know what Troy is doing...I'm seeing Kurt now
-
What's this Kurt fella do?
-
He works out in the oil fields
-
he's a roughneck, huh
-
You are nineteen, guess you can do whatever you want.
-
Well, you're 19 now...I guess you can do whatever you like
-
yeah.
-
Daddy, you need more furniture
-
If you don't got nothin', then you don't need nothin'.
-
So...what's the occasion?

THE BEGINNING
JOE AGUIRRE: If you pair of duces are lookin' for work, I suggest you get your scrawny asses in here, pronto.
-
Forest service got designated campsites on the allotments. Them camps can be 3, 4 miles from where we pasture the whoollies. Bad predator loss if there's nobody lookin' after 'em at night.
-
Now what I want is a camp tender in the main camp whee the Forest Service says, but the herder pitch a pup tent on the QT with the sheep, and he's goin' to sleep there.
-
Eat your supper, breakfast in camp, but you sleep with the sheep, hundred percent, no fire, don't leave no sign. You roll up that tent every mornin' case Forest Service snoops around.
-
(picks up phone) Yeah , no not on your !@#$ life!
-
JOE AGUIRRE: You got your dogs, 30/30, sleep there.
-
I had damn near 25% loss last year - I don't want that again.

Nice to know you, Ennis Del Mar

Last year a lightnin' storm killed 42 sheep. Thought I was gonna asphyxiate from the smell.
-
JACK: Aguirre got all over my ass like I'm supposed to control the weather.
-
But beats working for my old man.
-
Can't please my old man, no way.
-
Why I took to rodeoin'. You ever rodeo?
-

-
are you from ranch people?
-
yea I was
-
Your folks run you off?
-
no, they ran themselves off...
-
One curve in the road in 42 miles...and they missed it
-
ENNIS: Killed 'em both. Bank took the ranch. Brother and sister raised me, mostly.
-
Shit. That's hard.
-
can I?
-
One thing - don't never order soup. Them soup boxes is hard to pack.
-
well, I dont eat soup
-
You wanna watch it there - that mare's got a low startle point
-
I doubt there's a filly that can throw me.
-
Let's get, 'less you want to stabd around and tie knots all day.

OH, sh*t, I can't wait till I get my own spread and I don't have to put up with Joe Aguirees crap no more.
-
I'm saving for a place myself. me an' Alma, we're getting married when I come down from this mountain
-
That sleep with the sheep, no fire bullshit.. - Aguirees got no right asking us to do anything against the rules.
-
New scene: the boys in camp after breakfast.

Supply man: Something wrong?
Ennis: Yeah, so why didn't we get the powdered milk and the spuds?

JACK: Where the hell you been? I been up with the sheep all day, come in here hungry as hell and all I find is beans ^*)
-
what in the hell happened Ennis?
-
I came up on a bear is what happened.
-
Horse spooked, goddamn mules took off, scattered food everywhere. Beans is about all we got left.
-
Got no whiskey or somethin'?
-
Well, we got to do somethin' about this food situation.
-
Maybe I'll shoot one of the sheep
-
What if Aguirre finds out? We're supposed to guard the sheep, not eat 'em.
-
I'll stick to beans
-
Well I won't.
-
Sorry, can't help it, you just skipped a sentence after "we're supposed to guard the sheep, not eat 'em" -
Jack: what's the matter with you? there's a thousand of 'em

Aguirre got no right makin' me do this

You wanna switch? I wouldn't mind sleeping out there...
-
Ain't the point. Point is we both ought to be in this camp.
-
and that godd**ned pup tent smells like cat piss or worse...
-
Wouldn't mind being out there.
-
JACK: Happy to switch, but give you warnin', I can't cook worth a damn. Am pretty good with a can opener, though.

JACK: Shit (as he spills the beans all over himself). No, it's all yours.
-
Jack does his belt buckle flick. :c)
Ennis:
Don't rodeo much myself.
-
ENNIS: What's the point of ridin' some piece of stock for eight seconds?
-
Money is a good point.
-
ENNIS: Sure 'nough - long as you don't get stomped winnin' it
-
Yeah, my old man was a bull-rider, pretty well-knowed in his day, though he kept his secrets to himself.
-
never taught me a thing, never once came to see me ride
-
Your brother and sister do right by you?
-

Got me a year a high school, 'fore the transmission went on the pickup

Friend, thats the most you've spoke in the last two weeks
-
Hell, that's the most I've spoke in a year :c)

-
there ain't nothing you can do about it down there, neither, unless you can cure pnuemonia
-
SCENE CHANGE: Hail storm
JACK: Damn! Jesus!

-
Says there's a storm comin' in from the Pacific - worse than this one
-

-
JACK: Might go up to my daddy's place, give him a hand through the winter. Or I might come back....if the army don't get me.
(You know, I just now realized that makes no sense. He is going to his fathers for the winter...OR...he might come back. Come back to Brokeback for the winter if he doesn't go to his fathers? What am I missing here?)
-
JACK: Might go up to my daddy's place, give him a hand through the winter. Or I might come back....if the army don't get me.
(You know, I just now realized that makes no sense. He is going to his fathers for the winter...OR...he might come back. Come back to Brokeback for the winter if he doesn't go to his fathers? What am I missing here?)
I didn't think he said "or". I thought the lines were
Might go up to my daddy's place, give him a hand through the winter. (PAUSE) I might be back...if the army don't get me.
Figured he was just letting Ennis know what he was going to be doing through the winter too, just in case Ennis decided he couldn't go through with the wedding and wanted to come looking for Jack.
Anyway....on with the recital.....
ENNIS: Well, I guess I'll see you around then
-
(Nope, Jack says "or I might be back". How odd)
JACK: Right.

Ennis, I know you'd like it too.

-
Headed down to Texas for rodeoin'. How I met Lureen. Made 2000 dollars that year, I nearly starved.

JACK: Anything interesting up there in heaven?
-
Just, sending up a prayer a thanks....
-
for what?
-
ENNIS lying through his teeth: For you forgettin' to bring that harmonica. I'm enjoyin' the peace and quiet.
-
it could be like this , just like this always.
-
(Oh my gosh. I am sorry Toadily but this is my favorite line in the movie and I have to get it exactly correct.)
JACK: You know, it could be like this...just like this, always.
-
Yeah? How you figure that?
-
JACK his voice so full of hope: What if you and me had a little ranch somewhere, little cow-and-calf operation, it'd be some sweet life.
Hell, Lureen's old man, you bet he'd give me a downpayment if I'd get lost. Already more or less said it...
-
Ennis: Told you, ain't goin' to be that way.
-
Well,you got your wife and baby in Texas
-
and I got my life in Riverton
-
JACK: Is that so? You and Alma, that's a life?
-
you shut up about Alma, this aint her fault
-
Bottom line is....we're around each other and this...thing...grabs hold of us again, in the wrong place, the wrong time, then we're dead
-
I tell you, there were these two old guys ranched up together down home, Earl and Rich, and they were the joke of the town. Even though
they were pretty tough old birds.
-
Anyway...they found Earl dead in an irrigation ditch. They'd took a tire iron to him, spurred him up, drug him round by his dick till it pulled off....
-
Jack: You seen this?
-
my dad, he made sure me and my brother seen it
-
for all I know, he done the job
-
Two guys livin' together? No way
-
now, we can get together every once in a while way the hell out in the middle of nowhere but..
-
Once in a while? Every four f***in years?
-
If we can't fix it, we gotta stand it....<pause for Kleenex break>.............
-
For how long?

The screenplay has the following which I did not hear in the movie. However, they boys said something to each other while they were riding their horses.

SCENE CHANGE: THANKSGIVING
Whoa, there, Rodeo...the stud duck does the carving around here.
-
JACK: You bet L.D....just thought I'd save you the trouble.
-
Lureen: Bobby, if you don't eat your dinner I'm going to have to turn off that television
-
Why Mama? I'm gonna be eating this food for the next two weeks!
-
Jack gets up, turns off the television.
JACK: You heard your mama. You eat your dinner. Then you can watch the game.
-
L.D. goes to turn the television back on
Lureen: Daddy? Daddy!?
-
L.D. Newsome picks up the carving tools.
L. D. NEWSOME: Hell, we don't eat with our eyes.
You want your son to grow up to be a man, Don't you daughter?
(Looks directly at Jack)
Boys should watch football.
( I agree, especially gay boys. Some of those players are HOT!) :8
-
Jack gets up and goes to turn the television off again
Jack: not until he finishes eating the meal his moma spent three hours fixing
-
Now L.D. Newsome goes toward the television again to turn it back on when we hear:
JACK: Sit down, you old son of a bitch!
L.D. Newsome stops dead in his tracks.
JACK: This is my house! This is my child! And you're my guest! So sit the hell down, or I'll knock your ignorant ass into next week....
L.D. is so startled, he automatically obeys.
Lureen smiles.
Bobby goes back to eating.
Jack gets up and starts hacking at the turkey.
-
new scene: Thanksgving at Alma and Monroe's house in Wyoming
Junior: Daddy, tell us about when you rode broncs in the rodeo
-
(Well honey. There is this guy named Jack and what a ride he....OH! You said in the rodeo!) ;D
ENNIS: Short story, honey. Only 'bout three seconds I was on that bronc, an' the next thing I knew I was flyin' through the air. Only I wasn't no angel like you and Jenny, and didn't have no wings.
Ennis smiles at her.
And that's the story of my saddle bronc career.
-
new scene: Ennis and Alma in the kitchen after supper
Alma: You ought to get married again, Ennis...
-
Me and the girls worry about you being alone so much.
-
ENNIS: Once burned....
-
You still go fishing with Jack Twist?
-
ENNIS: Not often. (enough) :)
-
:)
You know I used to wonder how come you never brought any trouts home.
-
From her tone, ENNIS knows something is coming.
ALMA: ...Always said you caught plenty, and you know how me and the girls like fish.
(pause)
So one night I got your creel case open the night before you went on one a your little trips--price tag still on it after five years--and I tied a note on the end of the line. It said, 'Hello, Ennis, bring some fish home, love Alma"...
(pause)
...And then you come back lookin' all perky and said you'd caught a bunch a browns and ate them up. Do you remember?
(Looks at ENNIS, stiff)
I looked in the case first chance I got and there was my note still tied there.
-
that don't mean nothing Alma
-
Don't lie to me no more Ennis, I know what it means.
Jack Twist? Jack Nasty....you don't go up there to fish.
You and him...
-
You dont know nothing about it
-
Tears spring to her eyes, she drops a dish.
ALMA: I'm going to yell for Monroe.
(A hell of a lot of good Monroe is going to do.)
-
Ennis, pulling his fist back as if to punch her: You do that, I'll make you eat the floor, and him too!
-
Alma shouting: Get out of my house! Get out ! Get out of my house!
-
Daddy? Daddy?! Daddy !!!!
-
Bye daddy....
-
Alma Jr. Bye....
New Scene: Ennis pulls up in truck, crosses road. Tyres screech.
Driver: Hey Asshole! Watch where you're going!
-
Ennis walks to the driver's side of the truck that just almost hit him and starts to punch the driver. The driver gets out of his truck with Ennis punching at him. He proceeds to beat Ennis mercilessly.
-
Driver: You're a gaddamn...little f**k. Damn it!
-
SCENE CHANGE: (Jack and Ennis together in the mountains washing up the dishes....)
Jack: All I'm sayin' is, what's the point to makin' it? If the taxes don't get it, the inflation eats it all up. You should see Lureen, punchin' numbers into her addin' machine, her eyes gettin' smaller and smaller.
-
like watching a rabbit trying to get into a snake hole with the coyote on it's tail
-
Ennis: Sounds like some high-class entertainment, you ask me.
-
Jack: for what it's worth
-
You and Lureen, it's normal and all?
-
Jack nods his head: yeah, sure
-
Ennis: She don't never...SUSPECT?
Jack shrugs, sideway glance. (drool....love that sideways glance...)
-
Ennis nervously: you ever get the feeling, I don't know...when you're in town and someone looks at you kind of SUSPICIOUS....like he KNOWS
-
D'you ever get the feeling, ahdunno, when you're in town, and someone looks at you, suspicious, like he knows? and then you go out to the pavement and everybody's looking at you like they all know too?
-
well maybe you should get outta there you know? find yourself some place different, maybe texas.
-
ENNIS: Texas? Sure, and maybe you'll convince Alma to let you and Lureen adopt the girls, and then we could all live together, herding sheep, and it'll just rain money from L.D. Newsome and whiskey'll flow in the streams....
-
Jack: Oh, go to hell, ENNIS DEL MAR. If you want to live your f**cking miserable life, you just go right ahead...I was just thinking out loud.
-
Ennis: Yep, you're a real thinker there.... Goddamn.
-
you got it all figured out, ain't ya, Jack F**king Twist!
-
New Scene: Ennis in bar, sitting alone, smoking a cigarette. Cassie appears, goes to the juke box and selects, 'Devils Right Hand'. Ennis gets up and Cassie approcahes him and says:
Cassie: Just finished my shift...you wanna dance?
-
I was just...
-
I'm Cassie, Cassie Cartwright.
-
Ennis....del Mar.
-
Ennis and Cassie finish their dance and Ennis sits down
Ennis: no more dancing for me....I hope
-
Cassie: Nope. You're safe. My feet hurt.
-
hard work, is it?
-
Cassie: Yeah, drunks like you demanding beer after beer, smoking. Gets tiresome.
-
What do you DO, Ennis del Mar?
-
This morning i was castrating a calf
-
Cassie making a face, putting her feet on Ennis's thigh
Ennis: what're YOU doing?
-
Cassie: Trying to get a foot rub, Dummy.
-
(Trying to cop a feel. Oops!)
CASSIE: Trying' to get a foot rub, dummy.
-
Ennis: alright... that okay?
-
SCENE CHANGE: Childress dance hall.
LASHAWN: Pledged Tri Delta at SMU and I sure never thought I'd end up in a pokey little place like Childress, but then I met Randall at an Aggie game, and he was an animal husbandry major, and we been here a month, he got the foreman job over at Roy Taylor's ranch. Like it or not, here I am!
-
LUREEN: Oh, you was Tri Delt? I was Kappa Phi myself.
-
Well, even though we ain't quite sorority sisters, we may have to dance with ourselves, Lureen. Our husbands ain't the least bit interested in dancin', they don't seem to have a smidgin of rhythm between 'em.
-
LUREEN: It's funny, ain't it? Husbands don't never seem to dance with their wives.
(sarcastic)
Why do you think that is, Jack?
-
Ain't never give it a thought.
(to LaShawn): wanna dance?
-
JACK looks at Randall and says: Do you mind?
Randall shakes his head no.
-
Thank you for asking to dance with me, I really appreciate that, Randall never does...
-
It's a good thing you and Lureen happened along when you did, or we'd still be stuckon the side of the road in that dern pickup.
-
I told Randall it takes more than bailing wire and chewing gum to fix it, but he never listens to me, he wouldn't listen to me if he was going deaf tomorrow, ha!
-
Bla bla bla bla...
New scene:
JACK: Ever notice how a woman'll powder her nose before a paty starts, and the powder it again when the party's over?
-
why powder your nose just to go home and go to bed?
-
Don't know. Even if I wanted to know, couldn't get a word in with LaShawn long enough to ask. Woman talks a blue streak.
-
lively little gal
-
You'll like working for Roy Taylor. He's solid.
-
Yeah, Roy, he's a good old boy
-
He's got a little cabin down on Lake Kemp. Got a croppie house, little boat... said I can use it whenever I want.
-
we ought to go down there some weekend...drink a little whiskey...fish some...get away, you know?
-
...when I was right out of SMU I coulda had my pick of petty much any job in North Dallas, bla bla bla......
-
...when I was right out of SMU I coulda had my pick of pretty much any job in North Dallas, so my pick was Neiman Marcus which was a disaster because where clothes is concerned, honey, I got no resistance, I was spending more than I made, more probably than Randall ever will make...we come out here thinking ranching was still big hats and Marlboros, boy, were we behind the times....
-
New scene.
Here there Junior, you ready?
-
new scene: Alma Jr. and Cassie sitting at table in bar
Cassie: Well, what do you think? Your daddy ever gonna see fit to get married again?
-
Don't know. Maybe he's not the marrying kind.
-
you really think that...or you don't think I'm the one for him?
-
Junior: You're good enough.
-
You're good enough.
-
Well you don't say much, but you get your point across.
( I love that line :D )
-
Junior: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be rude.
(I'm just saying it like it is you dumb twit...)
-
Ennis rejoins them. Cassie jumps up.
CASSIE: C'mon cowboy, you're stayin' on your feet.
Ennis looks at Alma Jr.
Alma Jr. nurses a coke at the table. Pensive, watches Cassie and Ennis dance.
-
New Scene: Enni drives Alma Jr. home.
I'll pick you and Jenny up next weekend after church.
-
ALMA JR: Fine.
-
You allright?
-
Daddy I was thinkin....what with the new baby and all....Ma and Monroe've been awful strict on me. More on me 'en Jenny even.
-
ALMA JR. (continued): (pause) I was thinking, maybe I could...maybe I could come stay with you, Daddy...I'd be a big help to you, I know I would.
-
Now honey you know I ain't set up for that...and with the round-up coming, I won't ever be home.
-
it's allright, daddy
-
ENNIS: I ain't saying I wouldn't want...
-
no, it's allright, I understand
-
so I'll see you next Sunday, then
-
Bye.
-
Bye, Sweetheart
-
New scene:
It's gonna snow tonight for sure.
-
Yep
-
All this time and you ain't found nobody else to marry?
-
ENNIS: Been puttin' the blocks to a good-lookin' little gal over in Riverton. Waitresses part-timr, wants to go to nursing school.
What about you and Lureen?
-
Lureen's good at making hard deals in the machinery business but as far as our marriage goes, we could do it over the phone.
-
Lureen's good at makin' hard deals in the machinery business, but so far as our marriage goes, we could it over the phone.
-
JACK: I kinda got a thing goin' with a ranch forman's wife over in Childress. Expect to get shot by Lureen or the husband one, ever' time I slip off to see her.
-
Probably deserve it.
-
you probably deserve it, huh
-
JACK looks at Ennis: Tell you what...truth is, sometimes I miss you so much I can hardly stand it...
(In other words: I love you so much Ennis.)
:\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'(
-
New scene.
Guess I'll head up to Lightnin' Flat.
-
See the folks for a day or two.
-
Somethin' i been meanin' to tell you, bud.
-
It's likely November before I can get away again.
-
November? Well what in hell ever happened to august?
-
Christ Ennis you had a f*cking week to same some little word about this.
-
And why is it we're always in the friggin' cold?
-
we ought to go some place warm...we ought to go to Mexico!
-
Mexico? you know me Jack, 'bout all the travelin I done is around the coffee pot looking for the handle
-
Lighten up on me, Jack. We can hunt in November, kill a nice elk. Try if I can get Don Wroe's cabin again. We had a good time that year, didn't we?
-
There's never enough time, never enough...
(turning to Ennis)
You know friend, this is a goddamn bitch of an unsatisfactory situation. you used to come away easy, now it's like seein' the Pope.
-
Jack, I got to work. Them earlier days I used to quit the jobs. You forget how it is, bein' broke all the time. You ever hear of child support? Let me tell you, I can't quit this one. And I cant't get the time off.
-
It was hard enough gettin' this time - the trade off was August. You got a better idea?
-
I did once.
-
You did once.
You been to Mexico, Jack f***in' Twist? Cos I hear what they got in Mexico for boys like you.
-
Hell yes, I been to Mexico. Is that any fu**in' problem?
-
What I don't know...ALL THEM THINGS THAT I DON'T KNOW....I can get you killed if I come to know them.
:\'( :\'( :\'(
-
Try this one...
and I'll say it just one time.
-
Go ahead...
-
Tell you what, we could of had a good like together, a fu**in' real good life, had us a place of our own.
-
But you didn't want it Ennis! So what we got now is Brokeback Mountain! Everything built on that. It's all we got, boy, f*ckin' all! So I hope you know that if you don't never know the rest!
:\'( :\'(
-
You count the damn few times we been together in nearly 20 years...and you measure the short f*ckin' leash you keep me on....then you ask me about Mexico and tell me you'll kill me for needin' somethin' I don't hardly never get. You have no idea how bad it gets...and I'm not you...I can't make it on a couple a high altitude f*cks once or twice a year.
(Sorry...got carried away there...)
-
You're too much for me Ennis, you son of a whoreson bitch.
I wish I knew how to quit you. :\'( :\'( :\'(
-
Then why dont you ? why don't you just let me be, cause a you Jack, I'm like this , nothin ,and nowhere.....
-
get the f*ck off me!
-
Sorry, it's all right....it's all right....damn you, Ennis!
-
come on, you're sleeping on your feet like a horse
-
(jack's soft purring and Ennis humming in his ear) gotta go, see you in the mornin.
-
I like that soft purring thing, but doesnt Ennis say something else
my mamma used to sing that to me, when I was little
-
..then he hums a bit....and then: I gotta go. See you in the morning. <a moment of silence as we try to catch our breath and bring it down to small little hiccups..>
SCENE CHANGE: Ennis eating apple pie in the diner <sniff>
Cassie: Hey, Ennis Del Mar, where you been?
-
Ennis: Here and there
-
I left word for you with Steve at the ranch. And you must have got those notes I left at your place.
-
Looks like I got your message in any case
-
Carl? Yeah, Carl's nice. He even talks.
-
Well then, good for you.
-
Yeah well good for me
-
I don't get you, Ennis Del Mar.
-
I'm sorry.
-
Guess I never was no fun.
-
Oh Ennis Girls don't fall in love with fun
-
Scene changes to outside Riverton post office.
Hello?
-
Uh hello... this is Ennis Del Mar...uh
-
Who? Who is this?
-
Ennis Del Mar. I'm an old buddy of Jack's...
-
Jack used to mention you.
-
You're the fishin' buddy...or the huntin' buddy. I know that.
-
Would have let you know but i wasn't sure about your name or address.
-
Jack kept his friends' addresses in his head.
-
I was calling to see what happened.
-
Oh yeah. Jack was pumping up a flat on the truck out on the back road when the tire blew up.
:-\\ :\'(
-
The rim of the tire slammed into his face and broke his nose and jaw, knocked him unconscious on his back. :\'( :\'( :\'(
-
By the time somebody came along, he had drowned in his own blood. Terrible thing. He was only 39 years old.
:\'( :\'(
-
Hello?
-
Uh...is he buried down there?
-
We put a stone up.
-
He was cremated, like he wanted, and half his ashes was interred here. The rest I sent up with his folks.
-
He used to say he wanted his ashes scattered up on Brokeback Mountain, but i wasn't sure where that was.
-
I thought Brokeback Mountain might be around where he grew up.
-
But knowing Jack it might be some pretend place where the bluebirds sing and there's a whiskey spring.
-
No ma'am...we was herding sheep up on Brokeback one summer, back in 63.
-
Well he said it was his favorite place.
-
I thought he meant to get drunk. He drank a lot.
(my poor Jack :()
-
His folks still up in Lightening Flat?
-
They'll be there till the day they die.
-
Thanks for your time, I sure am sorry We was good friends. :\'( :\'(
-
LUREEN: Get in touch with his folks. I suppose they'd appreciate it if his wishes was carried out. About the ashes, I mean.
Although she is polite, her little voice is as cold as ice.
Ennis hangs up.
He looks like death.
-
New scene: Ennis at Jack's parents place at Lightning Flat
Want a cup a coffee, don't you? Piece a cherry cake?
-
Yes ma'am I'll have a cup of coffee,but I can't eat no cake just now. Thank you
-
ENNIS: I feel awful bad about Jack...can't begin to tell you how bad I feel. I knew him a long time. (Pause) I come by to say that if you want me to take his ashes up there on Brokeback like his wife said he wanted, I'd be happy to.
-
Tell you what , I know where Brokeback Mountain is
-
JOHN TWIST: He thought he was too goddamn special to be buried in the family plot.
-
Jack used to say, "Ennis Del Mar", he used to say, "I'm goin' a bring him up here one a these days and we'll lick this damn ranch into shape." He had some half-baked notion the two a you was goin' a move up here, build a cabin, help run the place.
-
then this year, he had another fella that was gonna come up here...build a cabin, help run the ranch. some neighbour of his from texas.
-
He' goin' to split up with his wife and come back here.
So he says. But like most of Jack's ideas it never come to pass.
-
MA TWIST (putting her hand on Ennis' shoulder to reassure him): I kept his room the way it was when he was a boy. I think he appreciated that. You are welcome to go up to his room, if you want.
-
I'd like that, ma'am, thank you.
-
hey there junior!
-
we skipped:
John Twist: Tell you what, we got a family plot and he's goin' in it.
Ennis: Yes, Sir.
Jack's Mom: You come back and see us again..
Ennis: Ma'am. Thank you for this.
-

From the beginning.
Joe Aguirre: If you pair of deuces are lookin' for work, i suggest you get your scrawny asses in here, pronto!
-
Forest Service got designated campsites on the allotments. Them camps can be 3, 4 miles from where we pasture the woollies. Bad predator loss if there's nobody lookin' after 'em at night.
-
Now what i want is a camp tender in the main camp where the forest service says, but the hender...
-
..pitch up a pup tent on the Q.T. with the sheep, and he's goin' to sleep there.
-
Eat your supper, breakfast in camp, but you sleep with the sheep, hundred percent, no fire, don't leave no sign.
-
You roll up that tent every mornin' case Forest Service snoops around.
-
Yeah? No. No. Not on your fu**in' life.
-
You got your dogs, your 30/30, sleep there.
-
Last summer i had goddamn near 25% loss.
-
I don't want that again. You...
-
Fridays at noon be down at the bridge with your grocery list and mules.

Somebody with supplies will be there at the pickup.

Tommorrow mornin' we'll truck you up to the jump-off.

Aguirre got all over my ass like I'm supposed to control the weather.
-
it beats working for my old man, cant please my old man, no way
-
that's why I took to rodeoin'. you ever rodeo?
-
You know every once in a while when I got the entry fee in my pocket
-
Mmm. You from ranch people?
-
I was.
-
Your folks run you off?
-
Nope. They run themselves off.
-
One curve in the road in 43 miles and they missed it.
-
Killed 'em both. Bank took the ranch. Brother and sister raised me, mostly.
-
Shit that's hard
-
At the trailhead now.
Don't let 'em stray. Joe'll have your ass if you do.
-
Only thing- don't never order soup
-
Them soup boxes are hard to pack.
-
That horse looks like it's got a low startle point.
-
We left out Ennis saying:
Don't eat soup.
Jump to:
I doubt there's a filly that can throw me.
-
(oops %&))
Let's get unless you want to stand around tying knots all day.
-
Up on the mountain now, sitting by the fire:
Shit. Can't wait till I get my own spread. Won't have to put up with Joe Aguirre's crap no more.
-
I'm saving for a place myself. Me and Alma's getting married when I come down from this mountain.
-
That stay with the sheep, no fire bullsh*t. Aguirre's got no right makin' us do something against the rules.
(I love the way he completely ignores what Ennis said - oh Jack! <^()
-
(Scene change)
No more beans. ;D
-
Jack shoots at coyote and misses.
Dammit. Sh*t!
-
Ennis is getting supplies
Basque: Something wrong?
-
Well...where's the powdered milk and the spuds?
-
That's all we got.
-
Well ok...here's next week's.
-
Thought you didn't eat soup
-
I'm sick o' beans.
-
It's too early in the summer to be sick of beans.
(o/t but I;m cracking up- Ennis doesn't talk and this guy is all in his business ;D done with o/t)
-
Ennis is off chasing his horse. Jack comes down to an empty camp.
Sh*t.
-
Where the hell you been?
-
Been up with the sheep all day, I get down here hungry as hell and all I find is beans. ( ^*))
-
What in the hell happened Ennis?
-
I come on a bear, that's what happened.
-
Goddamn horse spooked,, the mules took off, scatered food everywhere.
-
beans 'bout all we got left
-
Jack hands Ennis some water
ENNIS: You got whisky or somethin'?
-
you got whiskey or something?
-
Ennis mumbling: Dumb ass mule, I can' t believe this.........
-
well, we got to do something about this food situation
-
Maybe I'll shoot one of the sheep.
-
what if aguirre finds out huh? we're meant to guard the sheep, not eat em
-
What's the matter with you? There's a thousand of 'em.
-
I'll stick with beans
-
Well I won't.
;D
-
New scene: Ennis, concentrating hard, lines up a shot at an elk. Jack sits by his side watching. Ennis fires and the elk staggers and falls
JACK: Woooo-weeee, yeah!
-
I was sick of your dumb ass missing
(thats Ennis' attempt at flirting)
-
Ennis shoves Jack, playfully, both laughing:
Let's get a move on - don't want Game and Fish to catch us with no elk
-
New scene
I'm commutin' four hours a day. come in for breakfast, go back to the sheep, evenin' get 'em bedded down, come in for supper, go back to the sheep, spend half the night checkin' for damn coyotes. Aguirre got no right making me do this.
-
Ennis: You wanna switch? I don't mind sleeping out there.
-
That ain't the point.The point is , we both oughta be in this camp.
-
That ain't the point. Point is, we both oughta be in this camp. Goddamn pup tent smells like cat piss or worse.
-
Ennis: I wouldn't mind bein' out there.
-
Well I'm happy to switch but I warn ya, I can't cook worth a damn. Pretty good with a can opener though.
-
Well you can't be no worse than me then....
(Passes Jack his food) here you go..
-
You don't get much sleep, I tell you that.
-
New scene: next day, in camp, Jack opening a can of beans while Ennis shaves
ENNIS: Shot a coyote up there. Big son of a bitch. Balls on him size a apples.
-
He looked like he could eat himself a camel....you want some 'o this hot water?
-
its all yours
-
New Scene:
Ennis sits and eats by the camp fire, Jack approaches, pings his Rodeo belt buckle.
Ennis: I don't Rodeo much myself, I mean what's the point of riding some piece of stock for 8 seconds?
-
Jack: Money's a good point
-
True enough. If ya don't get stomped winning it. Huh?
-
Yeah, my old man was a bull-rider, pretty well-knowed in his day, though he kept his secrets to himself
-
Never taught me a thing. Never once came to see me ride.
-
Your brother an' sister do right by you?
-
They did the best they could after my folks was gone....considering they didn't leave us nothin' but $24 in a coffee can.
-
Got me a year of high school before the trasmission went on the pickup.
-
Then my sis married a roughneck, moved to Casper. My brother and me got work on a ranch up near Worland, till I was 19. Then he got married and...no more room for me. That's how come...me end up here.
-
Whut?

Hell, that's the most I spoke in a year.

Now, my daddy, he was a fine roper. Didn't rodeo much...he thought rodeo cowboys was all f*ck ups....
-
Hell, they are ......... Glaring at Ennis.
-
Jack: Yee Haw!
Jumps around pretending he's on a bull.
Ennis: There you go...
Jack: (Still Jumping) I'm spurrin his guts out! Waving to the girls in the stands! He's kicking me to high heaven! (Collapses)
-
Rosie - you missed a bit: But he can't dashboard me, no way! (collapses)
Ennis (laughing): I think my dad was right
Both laugh.
-
(now setting up at the higher camp)
Tent don't look right.
-
it ain't going nowhere...let it be
-
That harmonica don't sound right either.
-
that's because it kind of got flattened when that mare threw me
-
oh yeah, I thought you said that mare couldnt throw you?
-
She got lucky.
-
yeah well if I got lucky that harmonica would have broke in two
-
-evening by the fire: Jack singing-
I know I shall meet you on that final day..water walking Jesus take me away...
-
Very good!
( Is he tone-deaf?)
-
my mamma, she believes in the pentacost
(no, Ennis isnt deaf, he's in love)
-
my mamma, she believes in the pentacost
(no, Ennis isnt deaf, he's in love)
-
Yeah? Excatly what is the pentecost?
-
I mean, my folks, they was Methodists
-
Well, the pentecost.. I don't know.
-
I don't know what the Pentecost is...Mama never explained it to me
-
I guess it's when the world ends and fellas like you and me march off into hell
-
speak for yourself, you may be a sinner, but I aint yet had the opportunity
(why Ennis, are you flirting?)
-
Shit. I'm goin' to go up to the sheep now.
-
Give'em hell!
-
You can't hardly stand, it's too late to go to them sheep.
-

Jack throws up his hands : Alright.
-
Ennis shaking and klicking his teeth..

-
Says there's a storm comin' in from the Pacific - worse than this one
-
that snow barely stuck an hour
-
Besides, that sonofabitch is cutting us out of a whole month's pay. it ain't right.
-
I can spare you a loan, bud, if you're short on cash ...give it to you when we get to Signal.

-
Old Brokeback got us good
-
Old Brokeback got us good
We missed a lot in here.
Went down to Texas for rodeoin'. How I met Lureen. Made 2000 dollars that year bullridin', nearly starved. Lureen's old man's got some serious money, farm machine business...course he hates my guts.
-
Army didn't get you?
-
Nope, too busted up.
-
Rodeo ain't what it used to be, got out while I could still walk
-
Swear to God I didn't know we was going to get into this again.
-
Hell yes I did, red lined it all the way up here
-
Couldn't get here fast enough. What about you?
-
Me? I dont' know
-
Old Brokeback got us good.
-

-
I doubt there's nothing we can do. I'm stuck with what I got here & makin' a livin's about all I got time for now.
-
Me and Jack's heading up to the mountains to do a little fishing
-
Couldn't your friend come inside; have a cup of coffee?
-
He's from Texas
-
[And just maybe it's not Alma holding the baby in this scene?]
I don't think there is any doubt it is Lureen holding Bobby and not Alma. :8
-
ALMA: Texan's don't drink coffee?
-
Are you sure that foreman wont get mad for you taking off
-
That foreman he owes me, I worked through a blizzard last Christmass, remember that? besides, it'll only be for a coupla days
-
Alma Jr: Bring me a fish, Daddy, a big fish.
ENNIS (to Alma Jr.): Come here.
Gives her a big kiss.
Turns to Alma.
Awkward.
Gives her a quick one-arm hug, kisses her on the cheek. Definately not like the kiss he gave Jack and Alma saw.
ENNIS: See you Sunday, latest.
Ennis leaves.
-
(into the mountains now)
Last one in....!
-
Scene changes to a campsite.
Is there anything interesting up there in heaven?
-
Ennis : I was just sending up a prayer of thanks
-
For what?
-
for you not bringing that harmonica I am enjoying the peace and quiet
-
You know, it could be like this, just like this, always.
-
Yeah, how you figure that?
-
what if you and me got ourself a little cow and calf operation
-
... be a sweet life. Hell, Lureen's old man, you'd bet he'd give me a downpayment to get lost, he more or less already said it...
-
You know what, I already told you, it aint gonna be that way
-
What i'm sayin', you got your wife and baby down in Texas, i got my life in Riverton.
-
Is that so? You and Alma? That's a life?
-
You shut up about Alma, this aint her fault
-
Bottom line, we're around each other and this thing grabs on to us again in the wrong place, the wrong time, then we'll be dead.
-
There was these two old guys ranched together down home, Earl and Rich.
-
They was the joke of town although they were two tough old birds
-
Anyway they... they found Earl dead in an irrigation ditch. Took a tire iron to 'im.
-
ENNIS: They'd took a tire iron to him, spurred him up, drug him around by his dick till it pulled off....
-
you seen this?
-
I wasn't... nine years old. My daddy, he made sure me and brother seen it.
-
Hell, for all I know he done the job.
-
Two guys living together? No way...We can get together - once in a while, way the hell out in the middle a nowhere but...
-
Every once in a while? Every four f*cking years?
-
If you can't fix it, Jack, you gotta stand it.
-
For how long? <and out comes the Kleenex box again>
-
For as long as we can ride it.

That fire and brimstone crowd
-
Well, I think it would be nice
-
As far behind as we are with the bills, makes me nervous to take no precautions
-
ENNIS: If you don't wnt no more of my kids, I'll be happy to leave you alone.
-
I'd have 'em if you'd support 'em.
-
Custody of the two minor children,Alma Del Mar and Jennifer Del Mar is awarded to plaintiff.
-
Defendant is ordered to pay child support to the plaintiff in the sum of $125 a month for each of the minor children until they reach the age of 18 years.
-
Alma looks sad, but determined...cries quietly.
JUDGE: ...Del Mar divorce granted, this 6th day of November 1975.
Ennis weeps
-
Jack pulls up to Ennis's new place after the divorce and they hug.
What're you doin' here?
-
I heard about the divorce.
-
Ennis to Alma Jr and Jenny: Girls, this here is my friend Jack. Jack, these are my girls, Alma Jr. and Jenny.
-
Say hi, girls.
-
say hi girls
Hi
-
Your card said the divorce came through so....here I am.
:-\\
-
got your card about the divorce...so here I am (Jake doing some MAGNIFICANT acting here...)
-
Ennis glances back and brings Jack over to the truck.
Ennis: This is my friend Jack. <time for the waterworks...sniff>
-
got your message about the divorce. Had to ask about 10 different people where you'd moved to....
(god, this scene just tears me up - Jake is incredible in this scene).... :\'( :\'( :\'(
-
JACK: ...I guess I thought this means you'd...
-
Jack, I dont know what to say...
:\'( :\'(
-
ENNIS: I got the girls this weekend..I'm sure as hell sorry. You know I am.
Jack nods...tries to retain some dignity, caught yet again in a wrenching situation with ENNIS, feels totally powerless.
-
See, I only get them once a month.
-
ENNIS: Missed last month 'cause of the roundup.
A beat.
ENNIS: ...Jack...
-
Yeah...all right..
-
Jack: I'll see you next month then.
<Damn you, Ennis, you whoreson son of a bitch! Sob!>
-
SCENE CHANGE: Mexico
YOUNG MEXICAN: ...Senor...
Jack stops. Hesitates a moment.
Then nods.
They walk off together. :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'(

Thanksgiving at Twist's house:
Here we go.
-
hold it there rodeo
-
Stud duck will do the carving around here
-
Stud duck will do the carving around here
-
You bet LD, just thought I'd save you the trouble.
-
LUREEN: Bobby, if you don't eat your dinner, I'm gonna have to turn off that television.
-
Why Mama? I'm gonna be eating this food for the next two weeks.
-
You heard your Mama, first you finish your meal then you watch the game
-
Jack turns the television off.
L.D. Newsome goes to turn the television back on.
LUREEN: Daddy?
(pause)
LUREEN: Daddy!
-
You don't eat with your eyes do you? You want your boy to grow to be a man dont you? boys should watch Football
-
Not til he finishes the meal his Mama spent 3 hours fixin'.
-
you sit down you ol son of a bitch
-
This is my house. This is my son and you are my guest. So sit down before I knock your ignorant ass into next week!
-
scene change, very tense Thanksgiving table at Almas new home
Daddy tell the story about when you rode broncs
-
ENNIS: Short story honey. Only 'bout three seconds I was on that bronc, an' the next thing I knew I was flyin' through the air. Only I wasn't no angel like you and Jenny, and didn't have no wings.
(ENNIS smiles at her)
And that's the story of my saddle bronc career.
-
Scene change: After dinner, Alma's kitchen, Ennis brings the plates through
ENNIS: Here you go
-
you should get married again Ennis. me and the girls worry about you being alone so much.
-
Once burned
-
You still fishing with that Jack Twist?
-
Not often
-
You know, I used to wonder how come you never brought any trouts home.
["Trouts" ?]
-
["Trouts" ?]
Trouts are a kind of fish welshwitch.
From her tone, ENNIS knows something is coming.
ALMA: ...Always said you caught plenty, and you know how me and the girls like fish.
(pause)
So one night I got your creel case open the night before you went on one a your little trips---price tag still on it after five years---and I tied a note on the end of the line. It said, 'Hello, Ennis, bring some fish home, love, Alma...
(pause)
..And then you come back lookin' all perky and said you'd caugh a bunch a browns and ate them up. Do you remember?
-
I looked in the case first chance I had and there was my note still tied there.
[No, trout is or are a type of fish. Fish names don't have plurals. I'd quite like to go through the text getting rid of all the "ain't"s and double negatives - once an English teacher...]
-
Don't lie to me no more Ennis, I know what it means. Jack Twist? Jack Nasty....you don't go up there to fish. You and him...
-
ENNIS: Now you listen to me, you don't know nothin' about it.
Tears spring to Alma's eyes, she drops a dish.
-
I'm going to yell for Monroe
-
You do that - I'll make you eat the floor...and him too!
-
Get out, get out, get out!
-
Daddy
-
Bye, Daddy...
-
New Scene: Ennis pulls up in truck, crosses road. Tires screech.
Driver: Hey Asshole! Watch where you're going!
-
All I'm sayin' is, what's the point to makin' it?
-
If the taxes don't get it the inflation will eat it all up
-
You should see Lureen, punchin' numbers into her addin' machine, her eyes gettin' smaller and smaller..
-
JACK: ...it's like watchin' a rabbit tryin' to squeeze into a snakehole with a coyote on its tail.
Ennis: High-class entertainment.
JACK: For what it's worth.
ENNIS: Lureen. You and her, it's normal and all?
JACK: Sure.
ENNIS: And she don't ever suspect?
Jack shakes his head no.
[It has been more than 12 hours without a post so I did a few lines.]
-
You ever get the feeling, I don't know, when you're in town, and someone looks at you suspicious...like he knows. And then you get out on the pavement and everyone's looking at you like they all know too?
-
JACK: Maybe it's time you moved outta there. You know, set yourself up somewhere different. Maybe Texas.
-
Texas? Sure and maybe you'll convince Alma to let you and Lureen adopt the girls and then we could all live together herding sheep and it'll rain money from LD Newsome and whiskey'll flow in the streams...
-
Aw, go to hell, Ennis Del Mar.
-
You want to live your miserable f*ckin' life, go right ahead! I was just thinkin' out loud.
-
Yur a real thinker there, yeah that Jack Twist
-
You're a real thinker, ain't you?
-
Next scene:
I just finished my shift, wanna dance?
-
ENNIS (pointing over CASSIE"S shoulder to the men's room): Was on my way to the...
-
I'm Cassie....Cassie Cartwright.
-
Ennis....Del Mar.
(cute little grimace)
-
no more dancing for me I hope
-
No, you're safe - my feet hurt
-
Hard work, is it?
-
CASSIE: Yeah, drunks like you demanding beer after beer, smoking. Gets tiresome. What do you do Ennis del Mar?
Ennis has the reputation of being a drunk??????? What a bitch!!!!!!
-
Well earlier today I was castratin' calves.
(that sweet talker ;))
-
What are you doing?
(didn't he ask the same thing in FNIT scene?)
-
Tryin' to get a foot rub...dummy.
-
Scene changes to Childress - charity dance.
Jack and Lureen are at a table with LaShawn, Randall and others.
Pledged Tri Delt at SMU and I sure never thought I'd end up in a poky litttle place like Childress, but then I met old Randall at an Aggie game, and he was an animal husbandry major,and we been here a month, he got the foreman job over at Roy Taylor's ranch.
[Takes breath - me not her.]
-
Like it or not, here I am.
-
LUREEN: Oh, you was Tri Delt? I was Kappa Phi myself.
-
Well, even tough we ain't quite sorority sisters, we may have to danse with ourselves, Lureen.
-
Our husbands don't have a smidgen of rythm between 'em
-
We missed:
Our husbands ain't the least bit interested in dancin'
Now:
It's funny isn't it? Husbands don't never seem to want to dance with their wives.
-
LUREEN: Why do you think that is, Jack?
JACK: Ain't never give it a thought.
(to Lashawn)
JACK: Wanna dance?
-
JACK looks at Randall and says: Do you mind?
Randall shakes his head no.
-
okay, let's just get this over with
LaShawn: Thank you for asking me to dance. I really appreciate that, I really do. Randall never asks me to dance....the last time, I think was at our wedding.
It's a good thing that you and Lureen came along when you did, or else we'd still be stuck on the side of the road in that dern pickup. I told Randall we should take the car, but of course he don't never listen to me. HE WOULDN'T LISTEN TO ME IF HE WAS GOING DEAF TOMORROW.
I told old Randall it would take more than chewing gum and baling wire to keep that old pickup going. Of course, he ain't never been very mechanical...
-
New scene:
JACK: Ever notice how a woman'll powder her nose before a paty starts, and the powder it again when the party's over?
-
Why powder youir nose just to go home to bed?
-
RANDALL: Don't know.
(pause)
RANDALL: Even if I wanted to know, couldn't get a word in with LaShawn long enough to ask.
Woman talks a blue streak.
-
Lively little gal... you'll like working for Roy Taylor. He's solid.
-
Randall: yeah, that Roy, he's a good ole boy
-
Randall: He's got a little cabin on Lake Kemp.
-
Got a croppie house, little boat. Said I could use it whenever I want.
-
Randall: We ought to go down there some weekend. Drink a little whiskey...fish some. Get away...you know?
Jack blinks repeatedly
-
Randall: We ought to go down there some weekend. Drink a little whiskey...fish some. Get away...you know?
Jack blinks repeatedly
:8 :8 :8 :8 Sorry for that giggle break. To continue...
LaShawn:...when I was right out of SMU I coulda had my pick of pretty much any job in North Dallas, so my pick was Neiman Marcus which was a disaster because where clothes is concerned, honey, I got no resistance, I was spending more than I made, more probably than Randall ever will make...we come out here thinking ranching was still big hats and Marlboros, boy, were we behind the times....
-
(next scene, Monroe's House, Junior is waiting for Ennis to pick her up)
Ennis: Hey there Junior, you ready?
-
Cassie at the bar:
So what do you think? Your daddy ever gonna see fit to settle down again?
-
Don't know. Maybe daddy's not the marrying kind.
-
You don't think so,or you don't think I'm the one for him ?
-
ALMA JR: You're good enough.
-
Cassie : You don't say much,but you get your point across.
-
ALMA JR: (embarrassed at how rude she's been) I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be rude.
-
you're staying on your feet cowboy.
-
Cassie and Ennis dance. Junior watches them.
New Scene: Ennis drives Alma Jr. home.
Ennis: I'll pick you and Jenny up next weekend after church.
Junior: Fine.
-
Ennis: Are you alright?
-
ALMA JR.: Yes
-
You sure?
-
Daddy, I was thinking,what with the new baby and all ....Ma and monroe, they've been awful strict on me.
-
More on me 'n on Jenny even.
-
ALMA JR.: I was thinking, maybe I could...maybe I could come stay with you, Daddy...I'd be a big help to you, I know I would.
-
ENNIS: Now honey, you know I ain't really set up for that. And with the roundup coming, I won't ever be home.
-
ALMA JR.: It's all right, Daddy.
-
I ain't sayin' I wouldn't want.....
-
ALMA JR.: No, it's all right. I understand.
-
Ennis: See ya next Sunday then.
-
Alma Jr.: Bye.
-
ENNIS: Bye, sweetheart!
-
(Next scene: Wyoming Mountains, Ennis and Jack sitting around the campfire accross the lake, it's night.)
Jack: I'ts gonna snow tonight for sure. All this time, and you ain't found nobody else to marry?
-
Jack lights a joint, takes a drag.
ENNIS (noncommittal): Been puttin' the blocks to a good-lookin' little gal over in Riverton. Waitress part-time, wants to go to nursing school.
Jack passes the joint to ENNIS.
Now ENNIS gives JACK a look--there is still much uncharted territory between them. [Which indicates to me they rarely talked about themselves and their feelings for each other,to each other. There was much unsaid.]
ENNIS (continued): What about you and Lureen?
Takes a hit on the joint and passes it back to JACK.
-
JACK: Lureen's good at makin' hard deals in the machinery business but as far as our marriage goes? We could do it over the phone.
-
Jack: I kinda got this thing goin' with a...[slight pause - Jake does this so well] ranch foreman's wife over in Childress. Bound to get shot by Lureen or the husband every time I slip off to see her.
Poor Jack...out of all the other men and women he's been involved in, he's sitting next to the only one he truly belongs with, and he can't even confide in him properly... :(
-
Ennis: Well, you probably deserve it, huh?
-
Tell you what. Truth is.....sometimes I miss you so much I can hardly stand it. :\'( :\'(
-
new scene: next morning, after packing up the camp, Jack and Ennis are standing by Jack's truck
Jack: Well, I guess I'll head on up to Lightning Flat...see the folks for a day or two
-
bud there's something I been meaning to tell ya
-
Its likely November before I can get away again, after we ship stock and before the winter feedin' starts.
-
November?! What in the Hell happened to August?
(I'm sorry Jack :()
-
Christ, Ennis, you had a fu**in' week to say some litle words about this. :-\\
-
Why is it we're always in the friggin' cold?
-
We oughta to go south, where it's warm. We oughta go to Mexico.
-
Mexico? Hell, Jack, you know me, about the only travelin' I ever done is round the coffee-pot, lookin' for the handle.
-
Mexico? Hell, Jack, you know me. About all the travelin' I ever done is around a coffee pot looking for the handle.
-
Lighten up on me Jack. We can hunt in November, kill a nice elk.
-
I'll try if I can get Don Wroe's cabin again.
-
We had a good time that year, didn't we?
-
JACK (with bitter disappointment in his voice): Never enough time, never enough.
(JACK looks at Ennis)
You know friend, this is a goddamn bitch of an unsatisfactory situation. You used to come away easy. Now it's like seein' the Pope.
-
Jack, I gotta work. You forget what it's like bein' broke all the time. You ever hear a child support, huh?
In them early days, I used to quit the jobs. But I tell you - I can't quit this one, and I can't get the time off.
It was hard enough gettin' this time - the trade off was August.
What, you got a better idea, huh?
-
JACK (bitter and accusatory): I did, once.
-
You did, once. Have you been to Mexiko, Jack Twist?
-
'Cos I hear what they got in Mexico for boys like you...
-
Hell, yes, I`ve been to Mexiko. Is that a f....in`problem?
-
I got to say this to you one time, Jack f*ckin Twist. And I ain't foolin'. What I don't know...all them things I don't know...could get you killed if I should come to know them. I ain't jokin'.
-
JACK: Try this one...
(pause)
...and I'll say it just one time.
-
Go ahead!
-
JACK: Tell you what, we could of had a good life together, a f**kin' real good life, had a place of our own. You wouldn't do it Ennis, so what we got now is Brokeback Mountain. Everything built on that. It's all we got, boy, f**kin' all, so I hope you know that if you don't never know the rest. Count the damn few times we been together in nearly twenty years. Measure the f**kin' short leash you keep me on, then ask me about Mexico and then tell me you'll kill me for needin' somethin' I don't hardly never get. You got no idea how bad it gets. I'm not you. I can't make it on a couple of high-altitude f**ks once or twice a year.
(pause)
You're too much for me, Ennis, you son of a whoreson bitch.
(pause)
I wish I knew how to quit you.
-
Tell you what, we could of had a good life together,fu**in' real good life, had us a place f our own.
-
Well, Patriot said the whole speech, so...
Ennis: [crying] Well why don't you? Why don't ya just let me be, huh? It's cause a you, Jack, that I'm like this. I'm nothin'...I'm nowhere...
:\'( :\'( :\'(
This is getting too much...
-
Jack is approaching Ennis , trying to comfort him...
Ennis :Get the f*** off me!!
-
Jack: C'mere, it's all right, it's all right. Damn you Ennis....
-
new scene: Flashback scene
Jack is standing half-asleep in front of the campfire. Ennis walks up from behind Jack and puts his arms around Jack
Ennis: come on, you're sleeping on your feet like a horse
<^( <^( <^(
-
Ennis: My momma used to say that to me when I was little. And sing to me...
[Ennis hums and rocks Jack back and forth.]
<^(
-
Ennis: I got to go
Ennis gives Jack one last hug and gently pushes him away <^(
Ennis: see ya in the morning
-
(next scene, in a Dinner, Ennis is eating apple pie)
Cassie: Ennis Del Mar, where you been?
-
Here and there.
-
I left worrds for you with Steve at the ranch. And you must got those notes I left at your place?
-
Looks like I got the message in any case.
-
Carl? Yeah, Carl's nice. He even talks.
-
Well good for you.
-
Yeah, well, good for me...
I don't get you Ennis del Mar.
-
I'm sorry. I was probably no fun anyway, was I?
-
Ennis... girls dont fall in love with fun :\'(
-
Ennis has received the postcard marked "deceased" and is on the phone calling Lureen:
Hello?
-
Huh, hello, this is Ennis del Mar, I, huh...
-
Who? Who is this?
-
Ennis de Mar. I'm an old buddy of Jack's, I...
-
Jack used to mention you. You're the fishin' buddy...or the hunting buddy...I know that.
-
Would hae let you know, but wasn't sure about your name or address. Jack kept his friends addresses in his head.
-
Why I was callin', to see what happened.
-
Oh yeah, Jack was pumping up a flat on the truck out on a back road when the tire blew up. The rim of the tire slammed into his face and broke his nose and jaw, knocked him unconscious on his back. By the time somebody came along, he has drowned in his own blood. Terrible thing. He was only 39 nine years old.
:\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'(
-
Hello?
-
He buried down there?
-
We put a stone up. He was cremated, like he wanted and half his ashes was interred here. The rest I sent up with his folks.
-
He used to say he wanted his ashes scattered on Brokeback Mountain, but I wasn't sure where that was.
-
I thought Brokeback Mountain might be around where he grew up. But knowing Jack, it might be some pretend place where the bluebirds sing and there's a whiskey spring.
-
:\'(
... No, ma'am, we herded sheep up on Brokeback one summer...
-
Well he said it was his favorite place. I thought he meant to get drunk...he drank a lot.
(my poor Jack :\'( )
-
His folks still in Lightnin' Flat?
:\'( (Aaw Ennis)
-
They'll be there till the day they die.
-
Thanks for your time, then... I sure am sorry... we was good friends...
:\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'(
-
You should get in touch with his folks. I suppose they'd appreciate it if his wishes was carried out....about the ashes, I mean.
-
(Next scene, Jack's parent's house, Ennis can't see Jack in either of them)
Jack's mother: Want a cup of coffee, don't you? Piece of cherry cake?
-
Thank you ma'am. I'll take a cup of coffee but I can't eat no cake just now.
-
I feel awfull bad about Jack... can't begin to tell you how bad I feel. I knew him a long time.
-
I come by to say that if you want me to take his ashes up there on Brokeback like his wife said he wanted, I'd be proud to.
-
Tell you what. I know where Brokeback Mountain is. He tought he was too goddam special to be buried in the familly plot.
-
Jack used to say "Ennis Del Mar" he used to say...I'm gonna bring him up here one o' these days and we're gonna lick this ranch into shape.
-
He had some half-baked notion the two a you was goin' a move here, build a cabin, help run the place.
-
<spit>
Then this spring....got another fella gonna come up here with 'im...
-
Then this spring....got another fella gonna come up here with 'im...
...and build a place and help run the ranc, some ranch neighbor a his from down in Texas.
-
Gonna split up with his wife and come back here...so he says.
-
But like most a Jack's ideas it never come to pass.
-
I kept his room like it was when he was a boy. I think he appreciated that.
-
You are welcome to go up in his room if, you want.
(gosh! :\'()
-
Yeah, I'd like that. Thank you.
-
Tell you what, we got a familly plot and he's goin' in it. :( :\'(
-
Yessir....
-
You come back and see us again.
-
You come back and see us again.
-
Well hey there, Junior...
-
Hey daddy.
-
Like the car?
-
Yeah. Is it yours?
-

-
I thought you were seein'...uh..Troy.
-
Troy?! Daddy, that was...two years ago!
-
Troy still playing baseball?
-
I don't know what he's doing, I'm seeing Kurt now.
-
Well what does Kurt do?
-
Works out in the oil fields.
-
So he's a roughneck, huh?
-
<laughs> Yeah!
-
I guess you're 19, you can do whatever you want. Isn't that right?
-
Sure!
-
Daddy you need more furniture.
-
Well, y'ain't got nuthin, you don't need nuthin. So what's the occasion?
-
Me and Kurt...we're getting married.
-
Well, how long you known this guy for?
-
About a year.
-
The wedding'll be June 5th at the Methodist Church. Jenny'll be singing and Monroe's gonna cater the reception.
-
Now this Kurt fella...he loves you?
-
Yeah Daddy....He loves me.
-

You know what? I reckon they can find themselves a new cowboy.
-
My little girl's gettin' married
(Raises glass)
To Alma and Kurt

Jack, I swear

-
Okay, let's start again
Scene: Signal, Wyoming - Spring 1963 - Early morning
Ennis Del Mar is leaning against the Farm and Ranch Employment trailer. The sign on the door says "Trespassers will be shot. Survivors will be shot again."
A very noisy old brokendown black truck drives up. Jack Twist gets out of the truck, slams the door, kicks the truck and says:
Jack: S**t!
-
[Jack leans against his truck and looks surreptiously at Ennis, who avoids his glance.]
[A while later, Jack is shaving and again, peering at Ennis through the truck mirror. A car pulls up, and Ennis and Jack spring to attention. Aguirre gets out, goes into his trailer, and within a minute opens the door again.]
Aguirre: You pair a deuces lookin' for work, I suggest you get your scrawny asses in here pronto.
That was the shortened version.
-
[Ennis and Jack go into the trailer. Aguirre takes off his hat and sits down]
Now up on Brokeback, Forest Service got designated campsites on the allotments. Those camps can be three, four miles from where we pasture the woolies. Bad predator loss if there's no-one lookin' after them at night.
-
Now what I want is a camp tender in the main camp where the Forest Service says, but the herder pitch up a pup tent in the Q.T. with the sheep, and he's going to sleep there.
-
Ole Brokeback got us good, didn't it? (goody, I love that line)
-
Ole Brokeback got us good, didn't it? (goody, I love that line)
Erm... we were at
Now what I want is a camp tender in the main camp where the Forest Service says, but the herder pitch up a pup tent in the Q.T. with the sheep, and he's going to sleep there.
-
Eat your supper, breakfast in camp, but you sleep with the sheep, hundred percent, no fire, don't leave no sign. You roll up that tent every morning in case Forest service snoops around.
-
Yeah? No! No! Not on your fu**in' life.
You got your dogs, your 30/30, sleep there.
-
JOE AGUIRRE: Last summer I had goddamn near 25% loss. I don't want that again. You...(points at Ennis--takes him in)... Fridays at noon be down at the bridge with your grocery list and mules. Sombody with supplies will be there at the pickup.
Joe grabs a cheap watch. Tosses it to ENNIS as if he's not worth the reach.
JOE AGUIRRE: Tomorrow mornin' we'll truck you up to the jump-off.
#2500
-
Jack Twist.
-
Ennis.
-
Your folks stop at Ennis?
-
ENNIS: Del Mar
-
Nice to know you Ennis Del Mar.
-
New Scene: Ennis and Jack are drinking in a bar in Signal
Jack: My second year up here. Last year, a lightnin storm killed 43 sheep. Thought I was gonna asphyxiate from the smell. Aguirre got all over my ass like I was supposed to control the weather. Still, beats workin' for my old man...can't please my old man, no way
-
JACK: That's why I took to rodeoin'. Ever rodeo?
-
You know...I mean once in a while, when I got the entry fee in my pocket.
-
You from ranch people?
-
ENNIS: I was.
-
Your folks run you off?
-
Ennis: Well...they run themselves off. There was, uh, one curve in the road in forty three miles and they miss it. So the bank took the ranch and my brother and sister, they raised me mostly.
-
Jack: S**t...that's hard
-
Jack: S**t...that's hard
And so was Jack! :8
SCENE CHANGE The boys are up at the Jump-of point.
BASQUE: Don't let 'em stray. Joe'll have your ass, if you do. Only thing, don't never order soup.
(spits)
Them soup boxes are hard to pack.
-
I dont eat soup.
-
That horse looks like it's got a low startle point.
-
Jack: Doubt there's a filly that could throw me. Now, let's get, unless you wanna stand around all day tyeing knots.
-
I doubt there's a filly that could throw me.
(Yeah, but a stallion's just about to.. ::) )
-
Shit. Can't wait 'till I go my own spread, won't have to put up JOe Aguirre's crap no more.
-
I'm saving for a place myself
-
Me and Alma's gettin' married when I come down off this mountain
-
Jack: Well, that "stay with the sheep, no fire" bulls**t...Aguirre got no right makin' us do somethin' against the rules.
-
Jack mounts his mare. (I think they mean he got on her back.) :8

ENNIS (exhausted): Come on a bear.

Ennis: What if Aguirre finds out, huh? We're supposed to guard the sheep, not eat 'em
-
Jack: What's the matter with you? There's a thousand of 'em.

Ennis: Hmph. I'll stick with beans.

new scene: Jack comes riding in for supper
Jack (bitchin as usual) ^*): I'm commuting four hours a day...come in for breakfast, go back to teh sheep. Eveining get them bedded down, come in for supper and go back to the sheep. Spend half the night checking for them damn coyotes.
-
Jack (still bitchin') Aguirre got no right to make me do this.
-
Ennis: You wanna switch? I wouldn't mind sleepin' out there...
-
Ain't the point. Point is, we both ought to be in this camp. And the goddam pup tent smells like cat piss or worse.
-
wouldn't mind bein' out there.
-
Well, I'm happy to switch, but I warn you, I can't cook worth a damn.
-
I am pretty good with a can opener though
-
You cant be no worse than me then.
-
new scene: Ennis saddles up and rides off to 'sleep with the sheep'
Jack: won't get much sleep, I'll tell ya that...

To continue....
Jack: I'm It's all yours.
-
(change of scene, after supper, Jack just went for a piss and flicks his rodeo belt buckle with his fingers)
Ennis: Don't rodeo much myself. What's the point of ridin' some piece of stock for eight seconds?
-
Money's a good point.
-
True enough, if you don't get stomped winnin' it.
-
My old man was a bull rider, pretty well known in his day, though he kept his secrets to himself. Never taught me a thing, never once come to see me ride.
-
Your brother and sister do right by you?
-
They did the best they could after my folks was gone, considering they didn't leave nothin' but $24 in a coffee can.
-
Got me a year a high school before the transmission went on the pick up. My sis left, married a roughneck, moved to casper. Me and my brother got work on a ranch near Worland until I was nineteen. He got married last month. No romm for me. That's how come to me to end up here.
-
Whut?
-
Friend, that's more words than you've spoke in the past two weeks.
-
H*ll, that's the most I spoke in a year.
-
My dad now, he was a fine roper. Didn't rodeo much, tough. Thought rodeo cowoys was all fucked-ups.
-
The H*ll they are!
-
Yeeehaw! Yeeehaw! I'm spurrin' his guts out! Wavin' to the girls in the stands! He's kickin' to high heaven, but he can't dashboard me! No way! Yeeehaw!
-
I think my dad was right.
(I love happy Ennis)
-
(new scene)
Ennis: Tent don't look right
-
It ain't goin' nowhere. Let it be.
-
That harmonica don't sound quite right
-
That's cause it got kind of flattened when that mare threw me.
-
I tought you said that mare couldn't throw you.
-
She got lucky.
-
If I was lucky, that harmonica woulda broke in two. :8
-
Night in camp: Jack is singing.
"I know I shall meet you on that final day, Water Walkin' Jesus, take me away."
-
Ennis: Very good...
-
Jack: My mama - she believes in the Pentecost
-
oh yeah, what exactly is the pentacost, my folks, they was methodist
-
the pentacost.....I don't know, I don't know what the pentacost is, mama never explained it to me.
-
Jack: I guess it's...when the world ends, and fellas like you an' me, we march off to hell. *sneaks a look at Ennis*
-
Ennis: Speak for yourself....you may be a sinner, but I ain't yet had the opportunity
(Opportunity coming your way, Ennis ^-^)
-
Shit. I'm goin' to go up to the sheep now.
-
Jack: Give'em hell!
-
Ennis drunk and crawling around on his hands and knees: Um....It's too late to go to them sheep (nice veiw for Jack and me too!)
-
Ennis (slurring his words in such a cute way!): You got an extra blanket? I could just roll up out here and grab forty winks...ride out at first light
-
Jack: you'll freeze your a** off once that fire dies down...better off sleeping in the tent
-
Jack: Ennis!
-
Ennis (sleepily): Whut?!
<^( <^(
-
Jack: Quit your hammerin' and get over here.
-
What you doin? :s)
-
Jack: see you for supper
-
This is a one-shot thing we got goin' on here.
-
Nobody's business but ours.

You know I ain't queer.
-
Me neither

Aguirre: Twist, your Uncle's in the hospital, with pneumonia
-
Doctors don't expect he'll make it. Your Ma sent me to tell you so, here I am.

-
he says theres a storm coming...moving in from Pacific...worse than this one.
-
That snow barely stuck anhour. Besides, the sonofabitch is cutting us out of a whole's month pay. It ain't right!
-
Well...I can spare you a loan bud if your short on cash...give it to you when we get to Signal.

-
Maybe not.
-
Be tryin' to get somethin' on a ranch I guess.
-
You?
-
Might go up to my daddy's place, give him a hand through the winter.

Well, see you around, I guess.
-
Right.
-
New scene:

Alma: Girls alright?

Ennis: Jenny stopped her coughin'. I should take the girls into town this weekend. Get 'em an ice cream.
-
Can we move to town? Tire of these lonesome old ranches…no ones around for junior to play with…besides I’m scared for Jenny, scared if she has another one of them bad asthma spells.
-
Rents in town are too high.
-
Alma: there's a cheap place in Riverton...over the laundromat. I bet I could fix it up real nice...
-
I bet you could fix this place up real nice if you wanted to.
-
Ennis, I know you'd like it too.A real home,somebody for the girls to play with.

Not so lonely like you was raised. You don't want it to be so lonely, do you?

-
Jimbo: No thanks cowboy.
-
Jimbo continues: If I was to let every buckaroo that I pulled a bull off of buy me a beer, I'd have been an alcoholic a long time ago...
Jimbo looks nervous: Pulling bulls off you bucaaroos is just my job. Save your money for your next entry fee, Cowboy.

BIKER #1

Lureen: You don't think I'm too fast do you?
-
Maybe we should put the brakes on?
-
Jack: That's your call. Fast or slow, I just like the direction you're going in.
-
I guess you are in a hurry.
-
Lureen: My daddy's the hurry. Expects me home with the car by midnight.

-
Mama, I need Crayolas.
-
Not now Alma. Ennis, you said you'd take them tonight....
-
I can't afford not to be there when them heifers calve. Be my job if I lose any of 'em.
-
What about my job?
Oh, all right then...I'll call my sister, maybe she can keep 'em till I get off.
-
I may be half of the night. Bring home some round steak if you think of it.
-
Monroe, I am so sorry.
-
It's okay Alma. It's okay.

-
No...uh...Jack, he rodeos mostly. We was fishin' buddies.

-
Alma: Sure enough.
-
Ennis? Can you get me a pack of smokes?
-
Alma, you want smokes there's some in the pocket of my blue shirt in the bedroom.
-
Damn. Four years.
(I think we skipped a line when Jack said - "Pleased to meet you, ma'am.")
-
(I think we skipped a line when Jack said - "Pleased to meet you, ma'am.")
(Yup, you're right)
Ennis: Four years. Didn't think I'd hear from you. Figured you was sore about that punch.
-
Jack: Naw. I went next summer & drove to BB & talked to Aguirre about a job & he told me you hadn't been back so I left. I went down to Texas for rodeoing - that's how I met Lureen. I made $2,000 that year bull riding & nearly starved. But Lureen's old man, makes serious money. Farm machine business. Of course he hates my guts, so...
-
The Army didn't getcha?
-
Nope..too busted up. Rodeoin' ain't like it was in my daddy's day...I got out while I could still walk
-
Swear to God I didn't we was going to get into tihs again.
Hell yes, I did. Red-Lined it all the way, couldn't get there fast enough. What about you?
-
Me? Mmmm...ahdunno....
(I really wish Jack could have seen Ennis's smile here)
-
Old Brokeback got us good, didn't it?
So what're we gonna do now? :-\\
-
Ennis: I doubt there's nothing we can do. I'm stuck with what I got here.... and makin' a livin's about all I got time for now.
-
Hey....well, me and Jack's heading off to the mountains for a day or two, do ourselves a little fishing
-
Alma: You know your friend can come inside & have a cup of coffee.
-
He's from Texas!
-
Texans don't drink coffee?
-
you sure that foreman won't fire you for taking off?
-
Ennis:
You know, that foreman, he owes me. I worked through a blizzard last Christmas. You remember that?
Besides, it'll only be a couple of days.
-
Alma Jr.
Bring me a fish, Daddy, a big fish.
-
Ennis: com'ere (picks up Jr, kisses her, puts her in Alma's arms)
See you Sunday, latest.
-
(The mountain, Ennis & Jack jump in the lake from a cliff)
Ennis:
Last one in...
-
Anything interesting up there in heaven? <^( <^( <^(
-
I was just sending a prayer of thanks
-
For what?
-
For you forgetin' to bring that harmonica. I'm enjoyin' the peace and quiet.
-
You know, it could be like this, just like this, always..
<^( :\'(
-
Yeah? How you figure that? :-\\
-
What if you and me had a little ranch together somewhere, little cow and calf operation, it'd be sweet life.
-
Hell, Lureen's old man, you bet he'd give me a downpayment if I'd get lost. Already more or les said it.
-
Told you, ain't goin' to be that way. :\'(
-
What I'm sayin', you got your wife and baby down in Texas, I got my life in Riverton. :(
-
Is that so? You and Alma, that's a life?
-
Shut up about Alma. This ain't her fault.
-
Bottom line, we're around each other and this thing grabs on to us again in the wrong place, wrong time, we'll be dead.
-
There was these two old guys ranched together down home, Earl and Rich.
-
They was a joke in town, even tough they was pretty tough old birds. They found Earl dead in a irrigation ditch. They'd took a tire iron to him, spurred him up, drug him around by his dick till it pulled off...
-
You seen that?
-
I was what, nine years old? My daddy, he made sure me and my brother seen it. Hell, for all I know, he done the job.
-
Two guys livin' together? No way. We can get together once in a while way the hell out of nowhere, but...
-
... Once in a while... ever' four fu**in' years?
-
If ya can't fix it Jack, you gotta stand it :-\\
-
For how long?
-
Jack:
For how long?
:\'( :\'( :\'(
-
Long as we can ride it.
Aint' no reins on this one.
-
(New scene)
Alma:
Supper's on the stove
-
no one's eating unless you're servin' it!

Well, tell him you made a fu**in' mistake.
-
Alma! Goddammit!
-
Hey.
You girls need a push?
-
No!
-
(new scene) Didn't that pissant used to ride bulls?
-
He used to try.
-
Jack:
Honey, you seen my blue parka?
-
Last time I seen it you was in it...day we had that big ice storm
-
Well, I could of swore I left it here.
-
You know, you been going up to Wyoming all these years. Why can't your buddy come down here to Texas and fish?
-
'Cause the Big Horn Mountains ain't in Texas. Doubt his pickup would make it this far anyways.
-
New odels coming in this week, remember... and you're the best combine salesman we got... the only combine salesman, in fact. Daddy can't drive the newfangled combines.
-
Well, I'll be back at the weekend...that is if I don't freeze to death, which I will if I don't find that parka...
-
Honey, I don't have your god damn parka. You know you're worst than Bobby when it comes to loosing things.
-
Speaking of Bobby, did you call the school back yet about getting a tutor?
-
Jack: That teacher don't like me - I complain too much - now it's your turn to call.
-
(rewind)
Jack: Speaking of Bobby, did you call the school back yet about getting a tutor?
(we missed)
Lureen: I tought you were gonna call

(play)
Lureen: OK, fine.

Still don't seem fair, you drivin' up there two or three times a year, him never comin' down here.

Alma: Ennis, you forgetin' somethin'?
-
Jack (smiling): You're late
-
Jack: The you go. No hands!
-
It's all yours Bobby, it's all yours.
-
Ennis (feeding cows): Come on! Come on!
-
LATER:
Alma:
It's Saturday night. We could still smarten' up, head over to the church social.
-
Ennis: That fire-and-brimstone crowd?
-
I think it'd be nice.
-
LATER
ALMA: Ennis, as far behind as we are on the bills, makes me nervous not to take no precautions....
-
Ennis:

-
I'd have 'em if you'd support 'em.

(Thanksgiving scene in Childress)
L.D. Whoa, now Rodeo... the stud duck does the carving around here.
>:(
-
Jack: You bet LD. I was just saving you the trouble.
-
Lureen: Bobby, if you don't eat your dinner, Im gonna have to turn off that television.
-
Bobby: Why, Mama? I'm gonna be eating this for the next two weeks.
-
Jack: You heard your mama. You can eat your dinner. Then, you can watch the game.
-
Lureen: Daddy. Daddy.
-
L.D.: Hell, we don't eat with our eyes. You want your son to grow up to be a man, dont you? Boys should watch football.
:(
-
Jack: Not until he finishes the meal that his momma spent 3 hours fixin'
-
L.D. walks towards the TV
Jack: You sit down,you old son-of-a-bitch! This is my house,this my child and you're my guest!
and you sit down before I knock your ignorant ass into next week! O0
-
(Thanksgiving Scene in Riverton)
Alma Jr. Daddy tell about when your rode broncs in the rodeos.
-
Ennis: Well, it was a short story, honey.
It was only three second I was on that bronc. The next thing I knew, I was flying through the air.
-
Only I was no angel like you and Jenny here, I didn't have no wings...
-
And that's the story of my saddle bronc carreer.
-
In Alma's kitchen:
Ennis: There you go.
-
Alma: You ought to get marry again, Ennis.
-
Me and the girls worry 'bout you being alone so much.
-
Ennis: Well, once burned.
-
You still go fishing with Jack?
-
Not often.
-
You know, I used to wonder how come you never brought any trouts home.
-
Always said you caught plenty and you know how me and the girls like fish.
-
So one night I got your creel case open the night before you went on one a your little trips, price tag still on it after five years, and I tied a note on the end of the line. It said ''Hello Ennis, bring some fish home, love Alma''
-
And then you come back lookin' all perky and said you'd caught a bunch of browns and ate 'em up. Do you remember?
-
I looked in the case first chance I got and there was my note still tied there.
-
"That line hadn't touched water in its life.
-
That don't mean nothin' Alma...
-
Don't try and fool me no more Ennis, I know what that means!
Jack Twist? Jack Nasty!!
-
You didn't go up there to fish. You and him...
-
Ennis: Now you listen to me, you don't know nothin' about it.
-
I'm gonna yell for Monroe.
-
:-\\
Go on and f*ckin' yell... I'll make him eat the f*ckin' floor and you too...
:-\\ :\'(
-
Get out! Get out!
(I hate this part :( )
-
Get out of my house Ennis Del Mar! You hear me? You get out! :(
-
Daddy?
-
Bye, daddy...
-
(Ennis walks in front of a truck)
Hey asshole, watch where you're goin'!
-
(next scene, Ennis & Jack accross a river)
Jack: All I'm sayin' is, what's the point to makin' it?
-
If the taxes don't get it, the inflation will eat it all up.
-
You should see Lureen, punchin' numbers into her adding machine, huntin' for extra zeros, her eyes gettin' smaller and smaller, it's like watchin' a rabbit tryin' to squeeze into a snakehole with a coyote on its tale.
-
That's some high class entertainment, if you ask me.
-
For wath it's worth.
-
You and Lureen, it's normal and all?
-
(Jack nodes)
And she don't ever suspect?
-
You ever get the feelin'...I don't know uh...when you're in town and someone looks at ya, suspicious, like he knows. Then you go out on the pavement and everyone's lookin' at you like they all know too?
-
Maybe it's time you moved outta there. You know, set yourself up somewhere different, maybe Texas.
-
Texas? Sure, and maybe you can convince Alma to let you and Lureen adopt the girls. Then we could just live together, herdin sheep. And it'll rain money from LD Newsome and whiskey'll flow in the streams. Jack, that's real smart.
:-\\
-
Oh hell,you wanna live your miserable f***in' life,then go right ahead!!
I was just thinkin' out loud!
-
Yeah, you're a real thinker....Jack F*ckin Twist...
-
cassie: I just finished my shift, wanna dance?
-
Ennis: Was on my way to the...
-
My name's Cassie. Cassie Cartwright. ??
-
Ennis.... Del Mar
-
No more dancin' for me, I hope.
-
You're safe, my feet hurt.
-
Hard work, is it?
-
Yeah, drunk like you demanding beer after beer, smoking. Gets tiresome. What do you do, Ennis Del Mar?
-
Well earlier today I was castrating calves.
-
what are you doin'?
-
Trying to get a foot rub, dummy.
-
All right..is that good?
-
New scene, the CHildress Dance Hall
LaShawn: Pledged Tri Delt a SMU and I sure never tought I'd end up in a pokey little place like Childress, but then I met Randall at an Aggie game, and he was an animal husbandry major, and we have been here a month, he got the foreman job over at Roy Taylor's ranch. Like it or ont, here I am! :i
-
(Lureen, somewhat snotty)
Oh you was Tri Delt? I was Kappa Phi myself.
-
Well, even though we ain't sorority sisters, we may have to dance with ourselves, Lureen. Our husbands ain't the least bit interested in dancin', they don't seem to have a smidgin or rythm betwen 'em. :P
-
It's funny, isn't it? Husbands don't never seem to wanna dance with their wives.
Why do you think that is Jack?
-
Ain't never give it a tought.
(to Lashawn)
Wanna dance?
-
Lashawn: Do you mind?
Randall: No,no problem.
-
LaShawn: Thank you for asking to dance with me, I really appreciate it, I really do...
-
LaShawn: It's a good thing that you and Lureen happened along when you did, or else we'd still be stuck on the side of the road in that dern pickup.
-
I told Randall ...blah..blah...blah..
he's never been very mechanical though.
-
Jack: Ever notice a woman'll powder her nore before a party starts, and then powder it again when the party's over?... Why powder your nose just to go home to bed?
-
Randall (smiles): Don't know. Even if I wanted to know, couldn't get a word in with Lashawn long enough to ask. Woman talks a blue streak.
-
Jack: Lively little gal... You'll like working for Roy Taylor. He's solid.
-
Yeah, Roy, he's a good ol' boy.
-
Randall: He's got a little cabin, down on Lake Camp , got a crop house a little boat, said I could use it whenever I want...
-
Randall: We ought to go down there some week-end. Drink a litle whiskey, fish some. Get away you know?
-
LaShawn: ...when I was right out of SMU I coulda had my pick of pretty much any job in North Dallas, so my pick was Neiman Marcus blah blah blah... I was spending more than I made blah blah... we come out here thinking ranching was still big hats and marlboros, boy, we were behind times...
-
Ennis:Hey there Jr.you ready?
-
New scene: bar where Cassie works. Alma, Jr. and Cassie seated at table, Ennis at jukebox
Cassie: What do you think? Is your daddy ever going to see fit to settle down again?
-
Jr.: Don't know. Maybe he's not the marrying kind.
-
Cassie: You don't think so? Or you don't think I'm the one for him?
-
You're good enough.
-
You don't talk much, but you get your point accross.
-
Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude.
-
C'mon cowboy you're stayin' on your feet
-
Excuse me darlin'.
-
New scene - Ennis and Junior in the car.
Ennis: So, I'll pick you and Jenny up next weekend after church
-
Jr.: Fine.
Ennis: You alright?
-
Jr: Yes
Ennis: Sure?
-
Jr: Daddy, I've been thinking, with the new baby comming, Mom and Monroe would be awfully strict on me. More so than Jenny even. I was thinking maybe...maybe I can move in with you. I'd be a good help, I know I would. ???
-
Ennis: Now honey, you know I ain't really set up for that. And with the round up coming, I won't ever be home.
-
Jr: That's all right Daddy.
Ennis: Now I'm not saying I wouldn't...
-
Jr: Not it's allright! I understand...
-
See you next Sunday, then.
-
Jr: Bye.
Ennis: Bye sweet heart.
-
(New scene: Ennis and Jack sitting around the campfire)
Jack: It's gonna tonight for sure... All this time, and you an't found nobody else to marry?
-
Ennis: I've been putting the blocks to a good looking little gal over in Riverton, a waitress. wants to go to nursing school... ahdunno
-
What about you and Lureen?
-
Lureen's good at making deals, but as far as our marriage....it can be done over the phone.
-
I kinda got a thing going with a ranch foreman's wife over in Childress. Expect to get shot by Lureen or her husband each time I slip off to see her.
-
You probably deserve it.
-
Tell you whut...sometimes I miss you so much I can hardly stand it. (ok I'm crying now. :\'( )
-
(New scene: Ennis & Jack are ready to part)
Jack: Guess I'll head on up to Lightnin' Flat. See the folks for a day or two.
-
There's been something I been meaning to tell you, Bud.
-
It's likely November before I can get away again, after we ship stock and before the winter feedin' starts.
-
November?? What in the hell ever happen to August?
-
AWH!.. The confrontation,their last scene together... :\'(
Christ, Ennis!!!! You know you had a fu#$' week to say some kinda word about this...
-
And why is it we're always in the friggin' cold? we oughta go south where it's warm, we oughta go to Mexico.
-
Mexico? Hell Jack you know me, all the travelling I ever done is round the coffee pot looking for the handle.
-
Lighten up on me Jack. We can hunt in November, kill us a nice elk. I'll try if I can get Don Wroe's cabin again, we had a good time there that year didn't we?
-
Jack:There ain't never enough time,never enough!
-
You know, friend, this is a godamn bitch of an unsatisfactory situation. you used to come away easy, now it's like seein' the Pope.
-
Jack, I gotta work, huh? I mean,in them earlier days I'd just quit the job.
Well you...you forget what it's like bein' broke all the time.
-
You ever of child support? Let me tell you, I can't quit this one. And I can't get the time off.
Was tough enough gettin' this time. The trade off was August.
You got a better idea?
-
Jack: I did once.
-
Ennis: You did once.. Have you been in Mexico Jack Twist??!! 'Cause I hear what they got in Mexico for boys like you...
-
Jack: Hell yes I've been to Mexico, is that a f@#king problem?
-
I got a say this to you one time, Jack f***in’ Twist. And I ain’t foolin’ .
-
What I don't know,all them things that I don't know,I'd get you killed if I come to know them!!
I ain't jokin'!
-
Jack: well try this one, and I'll say it just one time!
-
Go ahead!
-
We coulda had a life together, f***ing real good life, have us a place of our own. but you didn't want that Ennis, so all we've got now is Brokeback mountain!
-
Everything is built on that, that's all we got...fu*ckin all!! So I hope you know that,if you don't never know the rest!!!
:\'(
-
You count the damn few times we've been together in nearly twenty years, and you measure the f***in' short leash you keep me on, and then you ask me about Mexico and tell me that you'd kill me for needing something I don't hardly never get.
-
You have no idea how bad it gets!!!!
-
I'm not like you I can't make it in a couple of high altitude f*cks once or twice a year..
-
You're too much for me Ennis, you son of a whoreson bitch. I wish I knew how to quit you... :\'(
-
Then why don’t you?!
It’s ‘cause ‘a you Jack I’m like this, I’m nuthin’ I’m nowhere’.
-
Get the f**k off me!
-
Sch,sch, it's allright it's allright....damn' you Ennis...
:\'(
-
I can’t stand this anymore Jack . . . .
-
The dozy embrace scene: <^(
Ennis: And now you're sleepin' on your feet like a horse..
-
Flashback Brokeback Mountain 1963
My mama used to say that to me when I was little . . .
-
And sing...hums..
-
I got to go . . . .
-
See you in the mornin'
(I'm a wreck... :\'( )
-
from the screenplay:
A shuddering snort from Ennis's horse, the grind of hoof on stone, and Ennis rides away, a very young Jack watching him go . . . . .
-
Ennis drove off with his jalopy truck,old Jack looks as the truck drove away, with his sooo so full of sadness look..and that was the last time we see Jack.alive... sigh..
-
again from the screenplay:
. . . . that dozy embrace solidified in his memory as the single moment of artless, charmed happiness in their seperate and difficult lives.
-
New scene: Ennis and Cassie at the diner.
Cassie: Hey, Ennis Del Mar. where you been?
-
Here and there.
-
I left words for you with Steve at the ranch. And you must got those notes I left at your place.
-
Looks like I got the message, in any case.
-
Carl, yeah, Carl is nice, he even talks.
-
Good for you.
-
"Yeah, ....good for me...I don't get you Ennis Del Mar. "
-
Sorry....I was probably no fun anyways, was I.
-
A last line from Cassie before it moves on:
Ennis, girls dont fall in love with fun.
-
Ennis gets his postcard back....
Jack,how about November 7 for you? I can meet you at pine creek.
Ennis Del Mar.
With a red stamp across it :
DECEASED :\'(
-
(next scene, Ennis in a phone booth is calling Lureen)
Lureen: Hello?
-
Uh, hello, this is Ennis Del Mar, I, uh, . . . .
-
Who? Who is this?
-
Ennis Del Mar. I'm an old buddy of Jack's, I . . . .
-
Jack used to mention you. You're the fishing buddy or the huntng buddy, I know that. Would have let you know, but wasn't sure about your name or address. Jack kept hid friends' addresses in his head.
-
Why I was callin.. to see what happened
-
Oh yeah, Jack was pumping up a flat on the truck out on a back road when the tire blew up. The rim of the tire slammed into his face and broke his nose and jaw, knocked him unconscious on his back. By the time somebody came along, he had drowned in hs own blood. Terrible thing. He was only thirty-nine years old.
:\'( :\'( :\'(
-
Ennis can't answer right away.
He wonders, suddenly if it was the tire iron.
-
Lureen: ...Hello?
-
Ennis: he burried down there? :\'(
-
Lureen:
We put a stone up. He was cremated, like he wanted, and half his ashes was interred here. The rest I sent up with his folks. He use to say he wanted his ashes scattered on Brokeback Mountain, but I wasn't sure where that was. I thought Brokeback might be around where he grew up. But knowing Jack, it might be some pretend place where the bluebirds sing and there's a whiskey spring.
-
Ennis: No, ma'am, we herded sheep up on Brokeback one summer...
-
Ennis:
. . . . back in '63.
-
Lureen: Well, he said it was his favorite place. I tought he meant to get drunk. He drank a lot.
-
Ennis:
His folks still up in Lightin' Flat?
-
Lureen: They'll be there till the day they die.
-
I thank you for your time . . . . .
I sure am sorry . . .
we was good friends.
-
Lureen: Get in touch with his folks. I suppose they'd appreciate it if his wishes was carried out. About the ashes I mean.
-
Ennis hangs up.
He looks like death.
-
(Next scene, Jack's parent's house in Lightning Flat)
Jack's mother: Want a cup of coffee, don't you? Piece of cherry cake?
-
Ennis
Thank you ma'am. I'll take a cup a coffee, but I can't eat no cake just now.
-
Ennis: I feel awfull bad about Jack... can't begin to telll you how bad I feel. I knew him a long time.
-
Ennis:
I come by to say that if you want me to take his ashes up there on Brokeback - like his wife said he wanted - I'd be happy to . . . .
silence . . .
Ennis clears his throat.
-
Tell you what. I kn ow where Brokeback Mountain is. Thought he was too Godd*** special to be buried in the family plot.
-
Jack used to say, "Ennis Del Mar" he used to say, "I'm gonna bring him up here one of these days and we're gonna lick this damn Ranch into shape". he had some half baked notion the two of you was goin' a move up here, build a cabin, help run the place.
-
Then this spring he got another fella goin to come up here with him and build a place and help run the ranch, some ranch neighbour a his from down in Texas. He's goin a split up with his wife and come back here.
So he says. But like most of Jack's ideas it never come to pass.
-
Jack's mum: I kept his room like it was when he was a boy. I think he appreciated that.
(pause)
You are welcome to go up to his room, if you want.
-
I'd like that, ma'am, thank you.
-
We see Ennis climb a narrow set of stairs. Enter Jack's room, tiny and hot, afternoon sun pouring through the west window, hitting the narrow boy's bed against the wall.
-
a well-used desk and a wooden chair stand against the other wall. A small .22 hangs in a rack over the bed.
-
A window looks down on the dirt road stretching south . . . . The only road out of this godforsaken place. Ennis goes to the window opens it. Positions a wooden stick to prop it open.
Sits for a moment, looking out at the bleak place.
Turns, looks around the room.
-
Ennis sees the closet. gets up, walks over to it.
-
Sees Jack's old boots, then spots the shirts, hanging in the closet...
His shirt hidden here inside Jack's own shirt,covered with his blood...
From the SS :
"The pair like two skins, one inside the other, two in one. He pressed his face into the fabric and breathed in slowly through his mouth and nose, hoping for the faintest smoke and mountain sage and salty sweet stink of Jack but there was no real scent, only the memory of it, the imagined power of Brokeback Mountain of which nothing was left but what he held in his hands."
-
I need a moment to recover. it seems wrong to just go on after that... :\'(
-
Ennis is back downstairs, the two folded shirts in his hands.
He nods to Jack's mother for permission to take the shirts, and gently shields them from the view of Jack's father.
He hands the two shirts to Jack's mother, she places her hand on Ennis' hand and puts the two shirts in a paper sack for Ennis.
-
:\'( :\'( :\'(
-
John Twist: Tell you what, we've got a family plot and he's goin' in it.
-
Ennis:
Yes sir.
-
Jack's mum: you come back and us again.
-
Ennis nods:
Ma'am.
Thank you for this.
Ennis puts his hat on.
Leaves.
Ennis looks back at the house, up at the window to his lover Jack's room.
-
From the short story: Bumping down the washboard road Ennis passed the country cemetery fenced with sagging sheep wire, a tiny fenced square on the welling prairie, a few graves bright with plastic flowers, and didn't want to know Jack was going in there, to be buried on the grieving plain. :\'( :\'( :\'(
-
Exterior, Riverton WY, afternoon 1984.
A new mailbox sits in front of the trailer house.
Ennis has a set of stick-on numbers in his hand.
Peels off the 1 and precisely applies it, then the 7, - 17.
Steps back, admires his work.
An '82 Camaro pulls into the driveway.
The engine cuts. Alma Jr. steps out of the Camaro and closes the door.
Ennis smiles as Alma Jr. walks up to her father.
-
Ennis: Hey there Jr.
-
Hey daddy...
-
Junior: Like the car?
-
Is it yours?
-
Junior: It's Kurt's.
-
Ennis:
Thought you was seein' Troy.
-
Junior: Troy? Daddy that was 2 years ago!
-
Ennis: Hmm. Troy still playin' football?
-
Junior: I don't know what he's doin', I'm seein' Kurt now.
-
Ennis:
What's this Kurt fella do?
-
He works on the oil fields.
-
So he's a roughneck,huh?
-
Ennis:
You're nineteen, guess you can do whatever you want, huh?
Ennis opens the trailer door for Alma, Jr. they go inside and the door slams close.
-
Daddy, you need more furniture.
-
when you aint got nothing, you dont need nothing. :\'( :\'(
-
Ennis : So what's the occasion?
-
Junior: Me and Kurt... we're getting married.
-
Ennis:
How long you known this Kurt fella?
-
Junior: About a year. Wedding'll be June 5th at the Methodist Church. Jenny's singing, and Monroe gonna cater the reception.
-
Ennis:
This Kurt fella . . .
Does he love you?
-
Junior: Yes Daddy. He loves me.
-
Ennis looks out the window.
Junior: was hopin' you'd be there.
-
Ennis:Still looking out the window
I think I'm supposed to be on the round-up down near the Tetons...
Looks at Junior with eyes full of sorrow,regret ..
-
from the screenplay:
Something sags a little in Alma Jr. nods her head.
Understands.
Ennis looks across at his daughter, sees her disappointment.
He stands. Goes to the fridge, opens it. Takes out a half-empty bottle of cheap white wine, a leagacy of Cassie.
Ennis: (smiles at his daughter)
You know what? I reckon they can find themselves a new cowboy.
-
my little girl... is getting married.
-
from the screenplay:
Hands her a glass of wine. Sits.
Ennis:
To Alma and Kurt.
Alma Jr. smiles and clinks her glass with her daddy's.
Ennis smiles back at his luminous daughter. But his smile can't hide the regret and longing, for the one thing that he can't have. That he will never have.
-
Ennis watches Alma drive off, goes back into his trailer and finds her sweater. Looks out but she's gone so he folds it and goes to put it in the closet. The closet door swings open and we see THE SHIRTS hanging there, Ennis' plaid one over Jack's blue. He does up a couple of the snaps on Jack's shirt, smoothes it down then straightens the postcard of Brokeback that is next to them. Steps back, tears in his eyes...
Jack, I swear

Great work everyone.
I can't look at the still of the shirts hanging next to the tacked up postcard in the closet door without freezing in thought.
I don't know that I'll ever come across a piece of media, from movie to photography and music, that I will relate to as much as BBM; this still shot alone sums it up so abruptly. And by 'it' I'm not even sure if I mean the movie, my life, or the whole world as I've come to know it.
Is there a pill or rain dance to help to dissolve the haunt?
Not that I believe in ghosts...
But like most things - electricity, light bulbs, engines, some genius was bound to produce bbm. Annie knew there was something ingenius behind feeling this human. I'm glad she not only portrayed it, but simply stepped up and put it out there.
It was necessary.
Thanks for haunting me, AP..
I feel less misunderstood.

I think I need to cry along for awhile. :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'(
-
Ennis closes the truck door and walks towards a trailer.
He leans against the trailer as he watches a train go by.
-
As Ennis saves his one cigarette and put it in his jacket pocket, he hears the back fire of an approaching black pickup...
-
The black truck turns and parks quickly. Jack comes out of the car looking mad. He kicks his car.
-
Jack: Shit.
-
An old stationwagon races along, whips into the parking lot, throwing dust. The stationwagon stops about two feet from the steps of the trailer office, as Ennis jumps up to get out of the way.
Aguire: If you pair of deuces are lookin' for a job, I suggest you get your scrawny asses here, pronto.
-
Inside the dusty, choky little trailer office:
Joe Aguire:
Up on Brokeback the Forest Service got designated campsites on the allotments. Them camps can be three, four miles from where we pasture the woolies. Bad preditor loss if nobody's lookin' after 'em at night.
Now what I want (looks at Ennis) . . is the camp tender in the main camp where the Forest Service says, but the herder (points at Jack) . . .
Pitch a pup tent on the Q.T. with the sheep, and he's gonna, sleep there. Eat your supper n' breakfast in camp, but you sleep with the sheep. Hundred percent, no fire, don't leave no sign . . ya' sleep there. Roll up that tent every mornin' case Forest Service snoops around . . . .
-
phone rings
Aguirre: Yeah? No. No. Not on your f*ckin' life!
-
You got your dogs, your 30/30, you sleep there. Last summer I had goddamn 25% loss, I don't want that again.
You (points at Ennis).. Fridays at noon be down at the bridge with your groery list and mules, somebody with supplies will be there at the pickup.
-
Aguirre:
Tomorrow mornin' we'll truck you up to the jump off.
Joe lights a cigarette. Picks up the phone. Pauses. Looks at them hard.
-
Outside the trailer, Jack offers his hand.
Jack Twist.
-
(shake hands)
Ennis: Ennis...
-
Your folks just stop at Ennis?
-
Del Mar
-
Nice to know you, Ennis Del Mar.
-
(Ennis & Jack sitting in a bar)
Jack: My second year up here. Last year one storm the lightnin' killed 42 sheep.
-
Jack: Thought I'd asphyxiate from the smell.
-
Jack: Aguirre got all over my ass like I was supposed to control the weather. Still, beats workin' for my old man. Can't please my old man, no way
-
That's why I took to rodeoin'.
You ever rodeo?
-
Ennis: Well, you know...uh...once in a while, when I got the entry fee in my pocket
-
Yeah, you from ranch people?
-
I was

The thousand sheep, the dogs, the horses, Jack and Ennis and the pack mules slowly flow out above the tree line, into the vast flowering meadow of the mountainside.

-
Ennis: I been saving for a place myself. Alma and me, we'll be getting married after I get off this mountain.

-
Basque: It's all we got.
Ennis: well here's next week's
-
Basque:
Thought you didn't eat soup?
-
Ennis: Well, I'm sick of beans.
-
It's too early in the summer to be sick of beans.
-
(Ennis meets a bear on is way back to the camp, he's trown from his horse. The horse races off the trail, the mules too scattering the food everywhere)
Ennis: Come back here you son's a bitches!
-
Dusk:
Jack is back from the sheep, hungry, looking for his meal. Jack looks around the campsite Ennis is nowhere to be found.
Night:
The campfire flickers of Jacks face. Jack knows Ennis wouldn't lag . . . is clearly worried. Takes a swig out of the whiskey bottle.
Hears a twig snap, looks up . . .

Ennis rides into camp, dismounts.
Ennis:
Whoa there, whoa. Ugh . . . f*** it.

Jack: Where the hell you been? Up with the sheep all day, I get down here, hungry as hell and all I find is beans...
-
Jack is startled by the sight of blood all over the side of Ennis's head -
Jack:
What in the hell happened, Ennis?
-
I come on a bear is what happened. Goddamn horse spooked and the mules took off and scattered food everywhere. Beans is about all we got left.
Got whiskey or somethin'?
Dumbass mule.
-
Ennis: (exasperated)
I can't believe that. . . .God Damn!
Jack: (dabs at Ennis's bloody head with his wetted handkerchief)
Let me see here . . .
-
Ennis takes Jack's handkerchief and puts it to his own head.
Jack: Well, we gotta do somethin' about this food situation.....Maybe I'll shoot one of the sheep.
-
Ennis: Yeah, what if Aguirre finds out, huh? We suppose to guard the sheeps not eat them.
-
Jack:
What the matter with you? There's a thousand of 'em.
-
Ennis: I'll stick with beans.
-
Jack: Well, I won't.
-
Ennis takes aim and fires his 30/30.
Jack:
Whooee!! YEAH ! !
Ennis:
Was gettin' tired of your dumbass missin' .

Jack:
I'm commutin' four hours a day.
-
Come in for breakfast, go back to the sheep, evenin' get em' bedded down, come in for supper, go back to the sheep, spend the night checkin' for damn coyotes...
Aguirre got no right to make us do this.
-
Ennis: Well, you wanna switch, I wouldn't mind bein' out there
-
Ain't the point. Point is we bot ought to be in ihs camp. And the goddam pup tent smells like cat piss or worse.
-
Ennis: I wouldn't mind bein' out there.
-
Well, I'm happy to switch. But I gotta warn ya. I can't cook worth a damn.
Am pretty good with a can opener though.
-
Ennis: You can't be no worse than me, then....Here you go.
-
New scene: Jack is opening a can of beans and Ennis is undressing to clean himself
Ennis: Shot a coyote, big son of a bitc, balls on him size a apples. Looked like he could eat a camel. You want some of this hot water?
-
Jack pushes the lid into the can of beans and spills them over himself
Shit! No - it's all yours
(BTW, Cham - you missed the scene where Ennis is leaving to go up to the sheep and Jack says Won't get no sleep, I tell you that)
-
New scene finishing supper in camp.
Jack’s just finished pissing, shows Ennis his rodeo belt buckle.
Ennis is finishing off a can of beans.
Ennis:
Hmm. . .
Don’t rodeo much myself.
I mean what’s the point of ridin’ some piece a’ stock for eight seconds?
(BTW Cham #2, it's an elk not deer Ennis shoots #9959)
-
Jack: Money's a good point...
-
Ennis:
True enough. If you don't get stomped winin' it. Huh?
-
Jack: unscrews whiskey cap, leans in towards the fire, keeping one foot slack among its perimeter of boulders, and pours Ennis a healthy shot of something strong.
My old man. He's a bullrider.
Ennis: reaches for his blue cup
Thank you..
-
Jack: Pretty well known in his day. Though he kept his secrets to himself.
Never taught me a thing, never once come to see me ride.
-
Jack takes two swigs from the bottle, Ennis nurses his cup.
Jack:
Your brother and sister do right by you?
-
Ennis: They did the best they could, after my folks was gone. Got me a year a high school, before the transmission went on the pickup...
-
Ennis continues:
Then my sis left, met a roughneck, moved to Casper.
Me an my brother, we, we went ‘n got ourselves some work on a ranch up near Worland.
'Till I was nineteen. Then he got married, ‘n ah, . . . no more room for me.
That’s how come, ah, . . . me end up here.
Ennis takes a swig from his cup . . .
-
Jack looks at Ennis, the beginnings of a smile on his face. Ennis looks back, one eyebrow raised, puzzled
Ennis: Whut?
-
Friends, thats more words you spoke in the past two weeks.
-
Ennis smiles back:
Hell, that's the most I spoke in a year.
-
My dad now, he was a fine roper . Didn't rodeo much, tough. Tought rodeo cowboys was all fucked ups.
-
Like hell they are
-
Yee-haw! I'm spurrin' his guts out! Wavin' to the girls in the stands! He's kickin to high heaven, but he can't dashboard me! No way!
-
Ennis: I think my daddy was right.
-
New scene: New camp, Ennis is trying to adjust a tent pole...
Ennis: Tent don't look right
-
Jack lies back, playing his harmonica
Jack: Well it ain't goin' nowhere - leave it be
-
Ennis:
That harmonica don't sound right.
-
Jack: That's 'cos it got kinda flattened when that mare threw me
-
Ennis:
Thought you said that mare couldn't throw you.
-
Jack (in an incredibly cute sing-song voice): She got lucky....
-
Ennis:
Well, if I was lucky, that harmonica woulda' broke in two.
-
New scene: Both boys in the new camp, evening, after dinner.
Jack (singing loudly): I know I shall meet you on that final day...water walking Jesus take me away
-
Ennis: Very good...
-
Jack: My mamma - she believed in the Pentecost
-
Ennis: Yeah? Exactly what is the Pentecoat?... I mean my folks was Methodist.
-
Jack: The Pentecost. I don't know. I don't what the Pentecost is. Mom never explain it to me. I guess when the world ends, fellas like you and me march off to hell.
-
Ennis:
Uh, speak for yourself.
You may be a sinner, but I ain't yet had the opportunity.
Ennis smiles at Jack and they both laugh.
-
New scene: Later the same night, both still sitting by the campfire
Ennis (very drunk): Well, I guess I'll head on up to them sheep now....
-
Jack:
Give 'em hell . . .
Ennis: (stumbling on hands and knees)
No-um, well I reckon it's damn, it's too late to go up to 'em sheep . . . they're . . . (points to the mountainside)
Ya know, you got an' extra blanket . . .
I'll just roll up out here - grab forty winks . . .
I'll, I'll ride out at first light . . . wuh . . ah h h h (collapses on the ground)
-
coldest point of the night, fire dead. Ennis outside, shivers,teeth chatter uncontrollably
(From the tent)
Jack: Ennis!
-
Cham - you missed a line....
Jack: Freeze your ass off when the fire dies down....be better off sleepin' in the tent
-
Cham - you missed a line....
Jack: Freeze your ass off when the fire dies down....be better off sleepin' in the tent
Cham, how could you? (t)
Ennis: Oh, that good.
Jack: All right.
Jack walks to the tent and enters.
-
So, then it's Cham's line...
coldest point of the night, fire dead. Ennis outside, shivers,teeth chatter uncontrollably
(From the tent)
Jack: Ennis!
Ennis: Whut?
-
quit yer hammerin' and get over here!
-
New scene: Much later, both boys in the tent. Jack is awake and reaches over behind him, grabs Ennis' hand and places it on his crotch. Ennis jumps up like he's touched fire but Jack grabs him, holds his head and stares into his eyes then pushes Ennis' hand down to his crotch again. He then removes his jacket...
Ennis (voice blurred by sleep and drink): Wharryadoin'?
-
Jack unbuckles his belt with one hand :clap: :clap: :clap:
-
Jack unbuckles his belt with one hand :clap: :clap: :clap:
:8 :8 :8 :8
Ennis suddenly reacts, flips Jack over, undoes his own belt and jeans, pulls Jack's jeans down, spits in his hand and enters Jack. They go at it in silence apart from some grunts and moans (and maybe some words that some people say they've heard!)
(This isn't so much of a recital as an entire screenplay!)
-
Then out, down and asleep.
-
New scene: Next morning, Ennis wakes, sits up, rubbing his eyes. Realises where he is, turns and looks at a still sleeping Jack, then down at where his jeans are still pushed down. Looks out of the tent then pulls his jeans up and leaves.
Ennis is packing the horse when Jack comes out of the tent behind him, approaching as Ennis mounts the horse
Jack: See you for supper
-
New scene, Ennis sits atop of his buckskin and rides along a ridge. Something eats his mind.
??? ::)
(...)
Ennis discovers a shredded sheep, clearly victim of a coyote pack.
A look of shame washes accross Ennis's face. :-\\
(...)
Ennis meets Jack on the mountain... they look off in the distance
Ennis: It's a one-shot thing we got goin' here.
-
Jack: It's nobody's business but ours.
-
Ennis: You know I ain't queer.
-
Jack: Me neither.
-
new scene: It's night, Ennis is sitting by the fire, Jack is in the tent. Ennis, pensive, glances over the tent. Decides.
Jack waits for Ennis, sits atop the bedroll, Ennis cautously steps in... Jack grabs Ennis's arm, pulls him in...
Jack: I's all right... It's all right :-\\ :\'( <^(
-
New day. Aguirre approaches Jack:
Twist, your Uncle Harold is in the hospital with pneumonia. Docs don't expect he'll make it.
Your ma sent me to tell you. So here I am.
-
Jack: Bad news. Ain't much I can do about it here, I guess.
-
Ain't much you can do down there neither. Not unless you can cure pneumonia.
-
Hail storm scene, Ennis & Jack are trying to grab their gear before it blows away.
Jack: Aw, hell!
-
Them sheep'll drift if I don't get back up there tonight.
-
Jack: You'll get pitched off your mount in a storm like this, wish you hadn't tried it. Close it up!
-
New scene: Next morning, Jack and Ennis on horseback survey the scene of two lots of sheep mixed in together. Two Chilean herders are in amongst the sheep
Ennis: What are we supposed to do now, huh?
-
Jack: Get on in there and untangle them Chilean sheep out of our's I guess.
-
New scene: Jack is in amongst the sheep, dragging them away from the Chilean ones. Ennis is on horseback trying to keep the sheep from mixing again
Jack: Goddamnit! Goddamn paint brands have wore off....
-
Ennis: We gotta try, at least we can get the count right for Aguirre.
-
F*ck Aguirre! ;D
-
Ennis: F*ck Aguirre? What if we need to work for him again? We gotta stick this out, Jack.
-
New scene: Ennis and Jack riding back to camp after sorting out the sheep. Jack is playing his harmonica
Ennis (smiling): You'll run them sheep off again, you don't quieten down
-
New scene: Jack is packing gear
Ennis: What you doin'?
-
Jack: Aguirre came by again, said my uncle didn't die after all. Says bring 'em down.
-
Ennis: Bring 'em down? Why? Its the middle of August.
-
Jack: Says there's another storm comin', movin' in from the Pacific.
-
Ennis:
Wuh, that snow barely stuck an hour. . . . Huh?
Besides, that sonofabitch is cuttin' us out of a whole month's pay. It ain't right!
-
Jack:
I can spare a loan, bud. If you're short on cash... give it to you when we get to signal...
-
Ennis:
I don't need your money, I ain't in the poorhouse.
-
Jack: All right. :-\\
-
new scene, up on the hill.
Ennis sits alone, Jack takes his lariat, heads up the hill.
Jack:
Time to get goin' cowboy.
-
Hey now, this ain't no rodeo.
-
Ennis pulls Jack and Jack fell over him.
Jack: Oh, sh*t!
Both men roll down the hill fighting, Jack playfully, Ennis for real.
-
from the screenplay
They start to wrestle, Ennis is only half-playing – tense.
Jack is not quite fighting either, but the mood quickly darkens when Ennis slips and Jack accidentally knees him in the nose. Blood pours on both of them. Jack gets up, tries to staunch the blood coming from Ennis’s nose with his own shirtsleeve and comfort Ennis . . . .
Jack:
Ennis, . . . Ennis, . . . Ennis . . . come here.
You’re OK, . . . you’re OK . . .
-
Next scene: The boys ride ride together, side by side, each to full of feeling to speak.
Next scene: Aguirre, stern and not pleased looks over the milling sheep, the boys lean against the fence.
Aguirre: Some of these never went up there with you... The count ain't what I'd hoped for, neither. You ranch stiffs ain't never no good...
-
Ennis and Jack are trying to start Jack's truck.
Ennis: Give it some gas
Ennis rumbles through his sack.
Ennis: I can't believe I left my shirt up there.
-
Jak: Yeah... You gonna to this again next summer?
-
Ennis:
Well, maybe not.
Like I said, me 'n Alma gettin' married in November.
So, . . ah, . . try to get somethin' on a ranch I guess.
You?
-
Jack:
Might go up to my daddy's place, give him a handthrough the winter... Or I might come back... if the army don't get me.
-
Ennis:
Well, see ya' round, I guess . . .
-
Jack gets in his pickup, adjusts the rearview mirror... Drives away. We see Jack look back at Ennis thru is rearview mirror. Ennis puts his hands in his pockets, watches him go. Stands there in the wind. Jacks pickup is soon out of sight.
He starts down the street, but before he can get a half a block, Jack's leaving proves too much: he feels like someone's pulling his guts out, hand over hand, a yard at a time.
He stumbles into an alley, drops to his knees. Kneels there, silent as pain, longing, loneliness, overpower Ennis. Emotions stronger than he's ever felt for another person consume him: he feels as bad and confused as he ever has in his life. Conflicted, he is angry at himself, for all that has happened, and for all that he is feeling. Punches the wall, bloodying both his knuckles.
A cowboy passes the alley. Pauses, looks at Ennis.
Ennis glares at him.
Ennis:
What the f*ck you lookin' at?
The cowboys moves on.
-
(it's been a week, I guess NOBODY wants to posts this line >:D . . . )
Minister:
. . . under the powers vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride . . and if you don't, I will . . .
-
Ennis and Alma, playing in the snow..
Ennis: are you allright?
-
Alma pulls him down to the snow and they start "wrestling"...
Alma (laughing): No, don't, stop!
-
Next scene, Ennis working with the road work team, Timmy, one of the co-worker talks incessantly:
My old lady's tryin' to get me to quit this job, says I'm getting too old to be breakin' my back shoveling asphalt...
I told her strong backs and weak minds run in my family. Didn't think that was too funny...
I told her keeps me fit.
-
New scene, Joe Aguirre's Farm & Ranch Employment trailer early summer 1964, he hears a knock on the door:
Aguirre:
Yeah?
Jack enters, door slams behind him.
Well, look what the wind blew in.
-
Jack:
Hi Mr. Aquirre, wonderin' if you was needin' any help this summer.
-
Joe Aguirre:
You're wastin' your time here.
-
You got nothing? nothing up on Brokeback?
-
Joe Aguirre:
Ain't got no work for you.
-
Jack nods politely, starts to leave, then stops, turns back to Aguirre,
"Hey, Ennis Del Mar ain't been around, has he?" he says, with hope shimmering softly in his voice.
-
Aguirre: You boys sure found a way to make the time pass up here...
Twist, you guys wasn't gettin' paid to leave the dogs baby-sit the sheep while you stemmed the rose...
Get the hell out of my trailer!
-
new scene: Lonesome line cabin on the vast high plains, Alma doing wash at the sink with a washboard. Radio playing, babies crying in the background. Ennis comes in from work on a ranch . . . .
Ennis:
How my girls doin'?
-
"They're alright...Jennie's still got her runny nose..." Alma replies.
-
Ennis goes over to the girls room, they're both crying, he picks up Jenny, tries to calm her down.
Alma (shouting from the kitchen): Ennis could you wipe Alma Jr's nose?
-
I could if i had three hands
-
Ennis comforts both squalling babies, then, later, he wearily sits on his and Alma's bed in his pajama bottoms where we see just a hint of lovely buttcheek cleavage...
"Th' girls alright?" Alma murmurs as she comes up behind Ennis across the bed. She lovingly puts her arms around his shoulders from behind...Ennis closes his eyes and longingly remembers a much too long ago dozy embrace in the arms of his beloved...
-
Ennis: Jenny stopped her coughin'. I should take the girls into town this weekend. Get 'em an ice cream.
-
"Oh, Ennis," Alma whispers, seductively against his neck, as Ennis heaves a deep sigh, "Can't we move to town? Tired of these lonesome ol' ranches. No one for Alma Jr to play with...besides, I'm scared for Jenny. I'm scared if she has one a them bad asthma spells..."
-
Ennis:
No, rent in town's too high.
-
Alma:
There's a cheap place in Riverton, over the laundrymat. I bet I could fix it up real nice.
-
Ennis: (closing his eyes, bending and stretching his neck in the sexiest way imaginable :d))
I bet you could fix this place up real nice if ya' wanted to.
-
Ennis, I know you'd like it too. A real home. Other kids for the girls to play with. Not so lonely, like you were raised. You don't want it so lonely, do you? ::)
-
Ennis:
Ths ain't to lonely, now, is it?
-
"Are you sure the girls are asleep?" Alma murmurs on a soft gasp as Ennis cups her breast and rolls his body partially over and on top of hers.
-
Ennis:
I'm sure.
-
Sighs, moans and kisses as Ennis and Alma begin their lovemaking. "C'mere" Alma whimpers as she pulls Ennis closer, facing her.
Ennis, however, perhaps aching to be with his one true beloved, closes his eyes, flips Alma over onto her stomach and takes her, desperately trying to imagine he is making love to Jack, again, back up on Brokeback, that summer that got 'em good.
Cut to rodeo as Jack and the bull he is riding crash out of the gate.
"Let 'er rip and snort, boys, Twist hangin' on fer dear life..." After Jack is dumped from the bull, the rodeo clowns take over and allow him to head for the fence.
"...Fine ride for Mr. Twist, four seconds for him..."
"SHIT!" Jack curses, frustrated.
"Give 'em a hand, folks, our very own rodeo clowns..."
-
New scene: Jack at the bar.
Jack: Like to buy Jimbo here a bear. best rodeo clown I've ever worked with.
-
Jimbo: No thanks, cowboy. If I was to let every rodeo hand I pulled a bull off of buy me a beer I'd been an alcoholic long ago...
-
They both laugh, but then Jimbo senses something he doesn't like...
"pulling bulls off you buckaroos is just my job. So save your money for your next entry fee, cowboy."
-
Jimbo tosses a dollar bill onto the bar, rolls his eyes at the bartender and strolls over to his buddies at the pool table, who gather around him in a protective circle.
Jack, humiliated, turns his head and stares at the group of macho he-men.
"Y'ever try calf ropin'?" the bartender snidely asks.
-
do I look like I can afford a fing calfing horse?
-
Next scene, 4th of July, Ennis, Alma and the girls are looking for a place to sit in the crowd.
Ennis: We should move closer
-
Alma: "No, c'mon, let's don't. Jennie'll get scared"
-
Ennis: (holding Junior) here we go darlin'
-
Woooeee...look at this crowd!
-
Biker 1 (continues): There's bound to be lots of pussy on the hoof in a crowd like this.
-
Biker #2 All swelled up with patriotic feeling and ready to be humped like a frog.
-
Biker 1: Where do you think the most pussy's at Las Vegas or California?
-
Hell, how would I know....but if you make it between Wyoming and Montana, I'd pick Wyoming in a minute.
-
Ennis: Hey, you boys wanna keep it down, I got two little girls here.
-
Biker: "F*ck you..." Turning to his buddy, he mutters, "As*hole," as his buddy chuckles.
-
Biker: asshole probably stopped puttin' it to his wife after the kids come, you know how that is...
-
Ennis hands the baby to Alma, gets up, goes toward the lowlifes and growls, "Now, I don't want any trouble from you, you need to shut your slopbucket mouth, ya' hear me?"
-
BIKER: you oughta listen to your ol' lady then.
-
Ennis snarls, "That right?" Biker mutters something, Ennis grabs him, shoves him aside roughly. He gives a roundhouse kick at the other one, who goes a-flyin'.
"Whut about it? You wanta lose half your fu**in' teeth, huh?" he growls at the first dirtbag.
"Not tonight Bud, I'd sure rather not," the chickenshit pleads, as he crawls away from Ennis, turning to check on his comatose buddy.
Fireworks explode, the girls are squallin', Alma is in shock, and Ennis just stands there, silouhetted against the brightly lit-up sky, wishin' he woulda killed at least one of the m*f*ckers.
(Hope nobody minds I took some license here, just to get thru a difficult scene.)
-
Not at all Chico. :)
Scene change to Texas rodeo:
Here she comes ladies and gentlemen, look at her fly, Miss Lureen Newsome from right here in Childress, Texas. Oh boy, and her time is...sixteen and nine tenths seconds. Let's give her a big hand!
-
Jack grabs Lureen's red cowgirl hat that flew off her head as she exited the field. As she rides back to Jack to retrieve it, he holds it out to her and simply says, "Ma'am?"
Lureen clicks her tongue at him and rides off, shooting him a toothy grin over her shoulder.
-
Next, bull riding scene
Announcer:
What a heck of a way to make a living! Next up is an up and comer, Jack Twist from all way up in Wyoming. He's on board Sleepy today! Let's hope he is not!
-
That sure look like the winnin' ride to me!
-
Next scene, in the bar
Jack (to the bartender):
You know that girl?
-
(Bartender) I surely do - Lureen Newsome. Her daddy owns a farm machine business - $100,000 tractors, that kind of thing
-
Lureen:
What are you waiting for, cowboy . . . . a matin' call?
-
Next scene, Jack and Lureen are making out in the car.
Lureen:
You don't think I'm too fast, do you?
-
Lureen Newsome: Maybe I should put on the brakes?
Jack: Fast or slow, I like the direction you're going.
-
Jack: I guess you're in a hurry
-
My Daddy's the hurry, he wants the car back by midnight.
-
New Scene: Enniss' truck pulls to the curb in front of the super market. He wrestles two squirming kids into the store.
"Hey, Monroe,"
"Hey, Ennis"
"Is Alma here?"
"Uh, yeah, she's in the condiments aisle"
"Th' wha'?"
"Ketchup."
"Thanks."
-
Alma: Hi honey. What're you all doing here?
-
Ennis:
In a big hurry. My boss called, got to run up to the ranch . . . all the heifers musta' decided to calve at the same time. Thought I could drop the girls with you.
-
Alma:
Ennis I got a million things to do here before I can leave. I don't get off for another 3 hours.
-
Alma Jr.:
Mama, I need Crayolas...
-
Alma:
Not right now, Alma. Ennis you said you could keep 'em tonight.
-
Ennis:
I can't afford to not be there when them heifers calve.
Be my job if I lose any of 'em.
-
Alma:
What about my job?
(she gives up)
Oh, all right then... I'll call my sister, maybe she can keep 'em till I get off.
-
Ennis: I'll be gone half the night. Bring home some round steak if you think of it
-
(Jenny reaches up and pulls a jar of peanuts out from a stack on a shelf, causing half the jars to crash to the floor and shatter)
Alma:
Monroe I'm so sorry..
-
(Monroe, a little shock at what he see)
Oh boy.
It's all right Alma, I'll get it!
-
Alma:

Monroe:

L.D: good job girl, he's the spittin' image of his Grandpa. isn't he the spittin' image of his Grandpa?
-
new scene, Riverton WY, Del Mar Apartment, 1967
Ennis comes driving home in his old pickup bounds up the stairs at the end of the day, hangs his hat and enters the kitchen where Alma is cooking with Jr.:
Ennis:
Hi honey.
-
"Hey, Ennis, you know somebody name a Jack?" Alma innocently asks him.
-
Ennis:
Maybe, why?
-
You got a postcard coming in general delivery
-
Ennis picks up the postcard, reads that Jack is planning to come thru on the 24th, turns around and looks to see if Alma is looking.
"Is he somebody you cowboy'd with, 'er whut?" Alma asks.
Ennis turns back around, reads the card, again, stunned, lips moving, to be sure it really says what he thinks it says.
-

Ennis replies to Alma:
Nah, Jack, he rodeos mostly . . . . .
We was fishin' buddies . . . .

*o) My DVD player has to cool down, but that was awesome, jackster!

Next scene, after Ennis mailed his answer on a postcard...

Ennis, nervous, is waiting for Jack wearing his best shirt.

Alma (hopefull for some social):
Maybe we could get a baby-sitter, take your friend to the Knife & Fork?
-
Jack ain't a restaurant type.
-
Ennis (continued):
We'll more'n likely just go out and get drunk... if he shows.
-
(Sound of a truck engine: Ennis goes to window, looks out, sees Jack get out of his truck, smiles, runs out the door tucking his shirt tail in. Out on the landing: big smile lights up his face.)
Ennis: "Jack f**kin' Twist!!"
-
Jack (huging Ennis): Son of a b*tch! :) :-\\ :\'(

Ennis (from SS):
Little darlin'
-
Ennis mutters something, maybe, "Alright" and starts pushing Jack backwards towards the building. The sound of boots on boards, then Ennis slams Jack up against the wall, knocking his hat off and locking his lips hungrily onto Jack's, nearly breaking Jack's nose in his desperate need for his man. Jack's hands come up to Ennis' neck, they break loose for breath, and Jack looks at Ennis longingly, almost tearfully, reverently. Suddenly, with a burst of breath, Jack hauls off and slams Ennis against the opposite wall and devours his lips in a near-violent kiss, missing his mark at first, in his haste, their faces and noses and foreheads crushed together, four hands grabbing face, hair, necks, in their consuming passion.
The door to Ennis' apartment opens. Alma blandly looks out to see what is holding them up outside, then her expression turns to disbelief, then shock as she sees her husband and this stranger locked in a tight embrace on the steps below, passionately kissing.
Alma turns away, slams the door shut and walks into the kitchen, breathless and stunned.
Out on the steps, Ennis begins to become aware of his surroundings, starts looking guiltily around, torn between his desire to ravage Jack right there on the steps and his fear of being discovered.
Jack just wants to keep going, but Ennis pushes him away slightly, but nuzzling Jack's forehead and nose, muttering, "Later", as he gives a last nuzzle, then walks toward the apartment stairs, leaving Jack to stare after him, wondering what in the hell had just happened.
-
Ennis comes in the house while Alma is trying to recover from the impression,followed by a quivering Jack;he dries his lips with his shirt sleeve in order to put the remains of their passion away from them.He says:Alma,this is Jack Twist;Jack, this is my wife,Alma.They say hello to each other and then the cry of a baby sounds.
-
Jack:
You got a kid?
-
Ennis:
Yeah, I got two little girls. Alma Jr. and Jenny.
-
"I got a boy," Jack said, breathlessly, licking his lips, still tasting Ennis's beer-and-cigarette-flavored kisses while gazing at Ennis' mouth.
"Yeah?"
"Eight months old. Smiles a lot. Married the pertiest little gal in Childress, Texas. Lureen." Ennis grunts, and Jack looks down, still trembling from what just happened, still trying to catch his breath and maintain some facade of normality in front of Ennis' wife, who could only stare at him.
-
Ennis smiles at Jack, then looks at Alma:
Ennis could feel the vibration of the floor from Jack's shaking,
is eager to leave:
"Jack ‘n me is goin’ out an get a drink.
Might not get back tonight,
we get to drinkin' and talkin’ an all."
(https://ennisjack.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi139.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fq313%2Fjackster545%2Fdrinkin.jpg&hash=ea6db4c470933c23713e435af2d0d31e6a838696)
-
Alma:
Sure enough.
-
Jack and Ennis go out while Alma is stunned.We see a nocturne view of a motel and after that our two heroes in bed, strongly embraced.Concretely a foreground of Jack that approaches his face to Ennis hair and says:Four years,damn¡ :d)
-
Ennis:
Yeah, four years.
Didn't think I'd hear from you again.
Figured you was sore about that punch.
-
Jack: 'Naaaa....well, that next summer I drove back up to Brokeback, talked to Aguirre 'bout a job, an' he told me you hadn't been back, so I left. Went down to Texas for rodeoin'...'s how I met Lureen. Made two thousand dollars bull-ridin' that year, nearly starved. Lureen's ol' man...makes serious money. Farm machine business....'course he hates my guts.
-
Ennis:
Army didn't get you?
-
Jack:
No, too busted up. That rodeoing ain't what it was in my daddy's day.
(Ennis interjects: Nope.)
Got out while I could still walk. (Ennis: Hmmm)
Swear to God I didn't know we's gonna' get into this again (pause) . . . .
Ah yes I did, I redlined it all the way, couldn't get here fast enough (chuckles).
What about you? . . .
(https://ennisjack.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi139.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fq313%2Fjackster545%2Fwhataboutyou.jpg&hash=d7459829f27ece6ef45cd98e8bbb0ceb8d352f4a)
-
Ennis struggles with his answer, "Me?, ahh, I dunno...."
Jack whispers in his ear in a hot, soft and sexy voice.
"Ol' Brokeback got us good, don't it?"
-
Jack: So what're we gonna do now?
-
Ennis: I doubt there nothin' we can do. Now, I'm stuck here with what I got. Making a living is about all the time I got.
-
Del Mar apartment: Riverton, Wyoming
Alma sits at kitchen table drinking coffee. Looks tense, eyes red-rimmed as if she has been crying.
Ennis comes in the door, hurriedly begins packing up clothes etc.
Ennis:
"Me and Jack's heading up to the mountains for a day or two. Do a little fishin'."
-
Alma looks out the window and sees Mr. Sexy-in-a-devil's-red-shirt leaning against his truck in an exquisitely alluring come-jump-my-bones pose.
Alma: 'You know, your friend could come in and have a cup of coffee."
-
Ennis (as if this is explanation enough):
He's from Texas.
-
Alma:Texans don't drink coffee?
-
Alma:
You sure that foreman won't fire you for takin' off?
-
Ennis: "Y' know, that foreman, he owes me. I...I worked thru a blizzard last Christmas, y' remember that?" Ennis said as he picked up his fishing pole, sounding like he didn't even believe himself. He was breathing hard from excitment.
"Besides, I'll only be a coupla days," rushing out of the bedroom, clearing his throat as he escaped Alma, a look of abject misery on her face.
-
Alma Jr.
Bring fish Daddy, a big one!
-
Ennis takes the little girl in his arms,kisses her and gives her to Alma,who is at the point of start crying.Ennis also kisses her and says:See you on Sunday.Then he leaves,while Alma embraces the baby,already crying.
-
Jack (as he crushes his cigarette under his boot and gets in the truck cab):
I'm starving, wanna' get somethin' ta eat?
Ennis (putting his gear in the truck):
Yup.
-
New scene: Jack's red and white truck rolls down the highway toward the mountains. We see it pull up to a lake and our two boys depart the truck.
"Last one in...!" one of them shouts, as they strip down to starkers.
We are then treated to an amazing sight :*( as both boys run and jump off the cliff into the lake, whoopin' and hollerin' as they surface in the cold water....
-
New scene , night at a campsite,Ennis laying, looking up..
Jack:Is there anything interesting up there in heaven?
-
Ennis:
Just sendin' up a prayer of thanks.
-
Jack:
"For what??"
-
-For your forgettin´to bring that harmonica-answers Ennis,wrinkling. ;)
-
(Jack chuckles, and Ennis finishes, "I'm enjoyin' the peace 'n' quiet.")
Jack says, gently, running his fingernail around the label of his beer bottle, a small, wistful smile on his face:
"You know, it could be like this, just like this, always."
-
Ennis (with a sudden look of concern on his face):
Yeah, how do ya' figure that?
-
"Well, what if you an' me had a little ranch, somewhere...little... cow 'n' calf operation. Be a sweet life. An', hell...Lureen's ol' man, you bet he'd give me a down payment to get lost...I mean he more or less already said it." Jack's luminous eyes looked hopefully at Ennis.
-
Ennis (looking at Jack with sorrow in his eyes):
No, I . . . (Ennis gets up and sits close to Jack)
I told you it ain't gonna be that way . . .
-
Ennis: What I'm sayin', you got your wife and baby down in Texas, I got my life in Riverton.
-
Jack: Is that so? You and Alma, that's a life?
-
Ennis (looking back at Jack):
You shut up about Alma. This ain't her fault.
(Jack looks pained)
Bottom line is, we're around each other and
this thing grabs hold of us again, in the
wrong place, in the wrong time, an' we're dead.
-
Ennis: There was these two old guys ranched together down home, Earl and Rich.They was a joke in town, even tough they was pretty tough old birds. They found Earl dead in a irrigation ditch. They'd took a tire iron to him, spurred him up, drug him around by his dick till it pulled off...
-
Jack, with horror in his eyes: "You seen this?"
-
Ennis:
Yeah, I was whut, nine years old . . . . (flashback of a disturbed look on a very young Ennis)
My dad he, he made sure me an' my brother seen it . .
Hell, for all I know he done the job . . .
Two guys livin together? No way.
Ya' know we can get together once an' while, way the hell out in the middle a' nowhere, but . . .
(Jack looking at Ennis with a questioning look on his face)
-
"Once in a while...ever' four fu**in' years?"
-
Ennis:If you can't fix it, Jack, you gotta stand it.
-
Jack's heart is breaking.
"Fer how long?' he asks, sadly, resigned that his dream is being shattered before his very eyes.
-
Ennis:
Long as we can ride it.
There ain't no reins on this one.
(Jack gently caresses Ennis's ear and cheek)
(https://ennisjack.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi139.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fq313%2Fjackster545%2Fennisfireside.jpg&hash=c2da5df2fc151d50e834f4599d5a3d6fb253ab90)
-
Melancholy guitar music plays as the scene shifts to Alma and Jenny swinging in the creaking swings. We hear Ennis' voice shouting muffled in the background:
"It's nearly suppertime, where the hell ya think yer goin'?"
-
Alma:
Supper's on the stove!
-
Ennis: No one's eatin' unless you're servin' it!!
[Cham - you skipped an angry interchange here . . . ::) ]
Alma: To work.
Ennis: Yeah, I thought you had the day off.
Alma: Well you thought wrong!
Ennis: The girls need to be fed.
Alma: Well you take care of it!
Ennis: Alma, . . Alma, . . . ALMA!!
(then: Supper’s on the stove!)
-
Ennis (to the girls):
Hey... you gilrs need a push?
Girls: No.
-
Ennis angrily kicks a tar bucket before striding quickly up the steps to the apartment.
Next scene: Our boy Jack is up on a combine, shouting down to a group of leery good ol' boys with too much cash to burn.
"Listen to her purr, gentlemen. You ain't gonna get that with your Caddie. I told you she could do it, now lemme show ya'!"
Jack gives the good ol' boys a demonstration of the Versatile combine's talents.
-
Scene inside Lureens nicely appointed office, Jack's bullriding belt buckles mounted and displayed on the wall behind her. Two well dressed farmers glance out the window at Jack's freewheeling demonstration of the fancy farm equipment
Farmer#1: Didn't that piss-ant use to ride the bulls?
Farmer#2: He used to try . . . .
Lureen looks over at them, mildly disappointed.
-
Next scene:
Alma comes home, carrying a brown paper bag full of groceries. She sets it on the table and glances at the mail. Besides the black and white grocery store flyer with honey on special for $1.49, she sees a postcard. Flipping it over, she reads that Jack will be seeing Ennis in a coupla weeks and that the fish should be jumping. She hears a door slam and quickly hides the postcard inside the flyer.
New scene:
Jack comes down the hall to Lureen's office
"Honey...you seen my blue parka?"
-
Lureen:
No, but I see that HOT bod poured into your blue jeans . . . .
Oh wait, that's a different movie . . . . ::)
Lureen: (not even bothering to look up!! %&))
Um, last time I seen it you was in it, day we had that big ice storm.
-
Jack: Well, I could of swore I left it here.
-
Lureen:
"You know, you been going up to Wyoming all these years, why can't your buddy come down here to Texas and fish??"
-
'Cause the Big Horn Mountains ain't in Texas. Doubt his pickup would make it this far anyways.
-
Lureen:
'Cause the new models coming in this week, remember... and you're the best combine salesman we got... the only combine salesman, in fact. Daddy can't drive these newfangled combines.
-
Jack:
Well, I'll only be gone a week. That is unless I freeze to death, and I might freeze if I don't find that parka.
-
Lureen:
"Well, I don't have your goddam parka. You know you're worse than Bobby when it comes to losin' stuff."
-
Speaking of Bobby, did you call the school back yet about getting a tutor?
-
I thought you were gonna call?
-
Jack: That teacher don't like me - I complain too much - now it's your turn to call.
-
Lureen, looking totally bored with the whole conversation:
"Right. oh, ok, so fine. I'll just, I'll call later," she says, without even bothering to tear herself away from her adding machine.
Jack just looks at her, baffled by her seeming indifference to their only child's education.
"Right....right," Jack murmurs, as he goes over to Lureen, bends over, gives her a dry peck on the lips.
"I got fourteen hours a drivin' ahead a me", he says, softly.
"See, now, it don't seem fair", Lureen says, with exasperation, "You goin' up there two, three, times a year and him never comin' here," in a quiet, sing-songy giving up kinda tone.
Jack turns around in the hallway, headin' out, and gives her a vague wave.
-
New Scene in the DelMar apartment:
Ennis is packing for his fishin' trip, going through the closet while the radio blares in the background. Ennis picks one of his shirts, takes a quick wiff of the collar and stuffs it in his duffel bag. He moves out to the kitchen grabbing his thermos and kissing his two young daughters on the way.
ALMA (readin' through the newspaper ignoring Ennis):
Ennis, they got a openin' over at the power company, might be good pay.
ENNIS:
Uh, clumsy as I am, I'd probably get electrocuted.
-
Hey, what gives?????????????
-
Hey, what gives?????????????
OT - :s) I think there was a slight miss-step here . . . . next line is:
ALMA JR.:
Daddy, the church picnic's next weekend.
Will you be back from fishin' by next week weekend?
-
Ennis, leaning in toward the girls playing on the living room floor:
"Well, alright, as long as I don't have to sing! Uuh?" as the girls giggle and one of them says playfully, "Daaaadiieeeeeee!"
Ennis grabs his wicker basket off the table where Alma is sitting, reading the paper, and his hat off the rack, preparing to fly out the door, his feet not quite touching the floor in his excitement to see his man Jack.
-
Alma: You forgettin' somethin'?
-
Jack (smiling): You're late
-
"Look what I brought," we hear Ennis mumble in the background, as he and Jack meet up again to spend some time together. Meals are cooked, horses are ridden and the boys enjoy each other's company in their own unique way.
Next scene: Jack is up in the cab of the combine with Bobby on his lap.
"Whoa! There ya go, no hands!" Jack laughs as little Bobby takes control of the combine and steers it around the parking lot.
Lives go on; Ennis works hard on the ranch and finally gets to relax all stretched out in front of the TV. Some snarky show is on.
"Come on in, Allen. I been tryin' to call you for hours" some thug says as he points a gun to Allen's head with it's 1970's too-long hair.
Alma speaks.
-
It's Saturday night. We could still smarten up, head over to the church social.
-
Ennis, that fire and brimstone crowd. %(
-
Alma (miffed, but resigned):
Well I think it'd be nice.
-
Bed scene:
Alma:
As far behind as we are on the bills, it makes me nervous not to take no precautions...
-
Ennis
Well if you dont want no more of my kids i,ll be happy to leave you alone
-
Alma:
I´d have´em,if you´d support´em.
-

Defendent is ordered to pay child support to the plaintiff in the sum of 125 dollars per month for each of the minor children untill they reach the age of 18 years.
Delmar divorced granted this 6th day of november 1975.
-
Next scene:
We see a battered and rusty "Entering Wyoming" sign as Jack drives his Ford pickup truck across the rolling hills. Jack is driving towards Ennis, lookin' all perky and whistling and singing to "King of the Road" as he grins in anticipation of what he thinks is about to happen.
As he pulls into Ennis' driveway, beeping his horn, Ennis is loading his girls into his truck, about to take off. He comes around the side of his truck when he sees who is pulling in. He shakes his head and goes toward Jack, who climbs out of his truck with a big $hit-eatin' grin on his face.
"Whut're you doin' here, huh?" Ennis says, by way of greeting. They give each other a big, warm hug.
-
Jack:
Got your message 'bout the divorce.
-
ENNIS: (breaking the embrace and pointing Jack towards his pickup)
Come here . . .
Now this here's Jack, Jack these are my little girls, there's Alma Jr. and Jenny.
JACK: (peeks in the pickup window and nods his head with big Jack smile) Hey.
ENNIS: Say Hi girls.
-
[Jack and ennis walk away from the truck ]
Jack says i got your message about the divorce so here i am.
-
Ennis: Yeah.
-
"So", Jack shrugs, breathing hard and smiling at Ennis, "Here I am,"
-
Ennis looking uncomfortable, jack says well i thought this meant that you.
-
ummm.... sorry Jack... uh...
-
Sorry after jack says so here i am he said had .to ask about ten different people in riverton where you moved to. jumping ahead of myself.
-
ENNIS (looking Jack in the eye):
You know I am.
Ya see, I only get 'em once a month, and uh, . . .
I missed last month, so I just . . . .
because 'a the roundup . . . so uh, . . .
well . . . .
JACK (heavily disappointed, looking away):
Yeah, all right . . .
ENNIS:
Jack . . .
:-\\ :-\\ :-\\ :-\\
-
JACK~ so i,ll see you next month then. :\'( :\'(
-
As Jack turns away from Ennis, wiping his mouth with his hand, his heart in a million little pieces, Ennis spits in frustration. He feels terrible at having pushed Jack away, but Jack's sudden appearance had caught him off guard, and with his girls right there, he hadn't had time to think.
Back in Jack's truck, heading south again much sooner than he had expected, the radio plays a sad song about a love that would never grow old.
Jack weeps, the endless road in front of him blurring with his tears.
He heads across the Mexico border to search out a way to ease the pain and longing he feels deep within his soul.
-
Apparently, cinematographers on major movies don't make that much money because at least one of 'em moonlights as a Mexican male prostitute.
Senior?
-
Jack stops in front of the prostitute and nods.Both men get lost in a dark alley.
-
New Scene.
Twist House Thanksgiving Dinner. Jack picks up the beautiful roast turkey on a silver platter and carries it from the kitchen to the dinning room and sets it on the table.
Jack:
Here we are . . .
-
"Yo, there, Rodeo," L. D. Newsome says, throwing his napkin down on the table, getting up out of his chair and arrogantly taking the serving knife and fork from Jack.
"Stud Duck do the carvin' 'round here..."
Jack smiles and relinquishes the cutlery politely.
-
Jack (sittin' down, looking disgusted with his SOB father-in-law):
Uh, . . . you bet LD, I was jus' uh, . . saving you the trouble.
-
Laureen says bobby if you dont eat your dinner i going to havto turn of that television.
-
Bobby, all dark-haired and blue-eyed just like his daddy, with his voice all high and whiny and his face twisted up, asks, "Why, Momma? I'm gonna be eatin' this food for the next two weeks?"
-
Jack: You heard your mama. You can eat your dinner. Then, you can watch the game.
-
L.D. Goes to the T.V.
Lureen: Daddy?... Daddy!
L.D. Turns the T.V. back on ::)
-
L.D.Newsom:
Hell, we don't eat with our eyes.
Ya, want your boy to grow up to be man, dontcha darlin'
A boy should watch football.
-
Jack: Not until he finishes the meal his mama spent three hours fixin'.
-
( I can't believe I get this one!)
During previous speech, Jack rises from his chair, goes over to TV and snaps it off, returns to his seat.
LD rises from his seat, heads toward the TV.
Jack (angrily, pushed beyond his limit):
Now you sit down you old son-of-a-bitch!! This is my house, my child, and you are my guest. Now you sit down before I knock your ignorant ass into next week!!!
LD meekly returns to his seat. Jack begins carving the turkey. Lureen unsuccessfully tries to surpress a smile of appreciation.
-
Next thanksgiving scene, Alma's and Monroe's house
Alma Jr. (to Ennis):
Daddy, tell about when you rode broncs in the rodeo.
-
Short story, honey. Only about 3 seconds I was on that bronc and the next thing i knew I was flyin' through the air. Only thing, I wasn't no angel like you and Jenny and didn't have no wings. And that's the story of my saddle bronc career. (Look from Alma and Monroe turns on the knife to slice more turkey ;D)
-
Next scene, Ennis in the kitchen, with Alma
Alma: You ought to get married again Ennis... Me and the girls worry 'bout you bein' alone so much.
-
Ennis: Once Burned
(Maybe I'll get to do "Jack Nasty" tonight :clap:)
-
Alma: You still go fishin' with Jack Twist?
-
Ennis: Not often
-
Alma: You know, I used to wonder how come you never brought any trouts home...
...Always said you got plenty , and you know how me and the girls like fish.
-
Alma again: So one night I got your creel case open the night before you went on one of your little trips- price tag still on it after five years- and I tied a note on the end of the line. It said "Hello Ennis, bring some fish home, love Alma.
-
Alma (still): ... And then you came back lookin' all perky and said you caught a bunch a browns and ate them up. Do you remember?
-
Alma: I looked in that case first chance I got and there was my note still tied there. That line hadn't touched water in it's life.
-
Ennis: That don't mean nothin', Alma.
-
Alma: Don't try an' fool me no more, Ennis. I know what it means. Jack Twist?
Ennis: Alma....
Alma: JACK NASTY! You didn't go up there to fish!
-
Ennis: Now you listen to me, you don't know nothin' about this.
-
Alma: I'm going to yell for Monroe
-
Ennis: Go and f*ckin' yell. I'll make him eat the f*ckin floor and you, too!
-
ALMA (shouting):
Get out, get out! Get out of my house Ennis del Mar! Get out!
Alma's crying, dishes and plates rattle in the kitchen.
MONROE: (smoking a cheap cigar, mews)
Alma?
Ennis puts on his hat and storms out, running out the door and down the steps, stuggling to put on his Levi jacket as he goes to his pickup truck.
-
Girls : Daddy ?? Bye daddy, bye..
-
Ennis drives to the Black and Blue Eagle Bar. Parks his one-eyed pickup across the street in the snow. Gets out and heads right to the bar without lookin' up the street. A flatbed pickup slams on the brakes, skids, almost hits him. A big roughneck driving the pickup yells out:
Hey asshole, watch where you're going!!
Ennis’s uncommonly quick reflexes snap into action and he quickly goes to the driver’s door and begins throwing punches at the driver. The big driver gets out and, just as quickly, thows Ennis against the truck yelling, "Goddamn, Goddamn" and out punches Ennis who ends up down on the pavement getting jabbed in the ribs and balls while the driver yells, F u c k, Dammit, and continues his punches.
-
Next scene, Ennis & Jack by the river.
Jack: All I'm sayin' is, what's the point to makin' it? If the taxes don't get it, the inflation will eat it all up.You should see Lureen, punchin' numbers into her adding machine, huntin' for extra zeros, her eyes gettin' smaller and smaller, it's like watchin' a rabbit tryin' to squeeze into a snake hole with a coyote on its tale.
-
ENNIS (washin' the dishes in the stream):
That's some high-class entertainment if ya' ask me.
-
For what it's worth.
--------------
Congrats jackster-500 posts! You are jacked ^f^
-
Congrats jackster-500 posts! You are jacked ^f^
[ O.T. Thanks, Ma'am. :c) ]
-
ENNIS (suddenly gets unusually serious, looks at Jack):
You an' Lureen, . . . it's normal an' all?
-
"Sure," Jack shrugs, tossing a stone into the river.
-
Ennis:
And she don't ever suspect?........
You ever get the feelin'...I don't know uh...when you're in town and someone looks at ya, suspicious, like he knows. Then you go out on the pavement and everyone's lookin' at you like they all know too?
-
Jack licks his lips, sighs, makes a decision and stands up, facing Ennis. "W'l, maybe you oughta get outta there, ya' know? Find yourself someplace different...maybe Texas"
-
Ennis angrily :
Texas? Sure, and maybe you can convince Alma to let you and Lureen adopt the girls. Then we could just live together, herdin' sheep. And it'll rain money from LD Newsome and whiskey'll flow in the streams. Jack, that's real smart.
-
Jack, picking up his cup from the side of the stream, spits, "You go to hell, Ennis Del Mar!" and strides angrily back up toward the tent, as Ennis continues to taunt him. Throwing his hands into the air, he growls, "I was just thinkin' out loud!"
-
ENNIS:
Yep, you're a real thinker there.
(knocks a pan into the stream, goes chasing after it, says to himself)
Goddam, . . . Jack F.u.c.k.i.n' Twist, got it all figured out ain't he . . . .

Bar scene... introducing Cassie.
Cassie: Just finished my shift. Wanna dance?
-
Ennis:I was just on my way to the...
-
Cassie: I'm Cassie... Cassie Cartwright
-
Ennis...Del Mar.
-
Ennis: No more dancin' for me...
-
Cassie : You're off the hook; my feet hurt.
-
ENNIS (smiling):
Hard work, is it?
-
Cassie: Drunks like you, demandin' beer after beer. Smokin'. Gets tiresome.
Cassie: So... What do you do Ennis Del Mar?
-
ENNIS:
Well, earlier today I was castratin' calves.
-
Cassie : Ugh. [places her bare feet in his lap]
Ennis : What are you doing?
-
Cassie: tryin' to get a food rub, dummy.
-
Ennis : All right. [rubs feet]
Ennis : That good?

New scene, the CHildress Dance Hall
LaShawn: Pledged Tri Delt a SMU and I sure never tought I'd end up in a pokey little place like Childress, but then I met Randall at an Aggie game, and he was an animal husbandry major, and we have been here a month, he got the foreman job over at Roy Taylor's ranch. Like it or ont, here I am!
-
Lureen: Oh, you was Tri Delt? I was Kappa Phi myself.
-
LaShawn: Well, even though we ain't sorority sisters, we may have to dance with ourselves, Lureen. Our husbands ain't the least bit interested in dancin', they don't seem to have a smidgin or rythm betwen 'em. Blah,blah,blah..
-
Lureen:
It's funny, ain't it?
Husbands don't never seem to dance with their wives.
Why do you think that is, Jack?
-
Don't never give it much thought. You wanna dance? (Jack to LaShawn)
-
LaShawn, delighted, says, "Yes! Thank you!" while looking to see if Randall is ok with it.
"Do you mind?" Jack asks Randall, as Randall smiles and shakes his head no and looks as if it were the last thing in the world that would bother him.
"Alright," Jack murmurs, as Randall's eyes lock onto Jack's for a long instant.
-
LaShawn: Thank you for asking to dance with me, I really appreciate it, I really do...
blah,blah,blah
-
blah, blah, blah, blah,...of course he's never been very mechanical.
-
Next scene: Outside the dance hall, Randall and Jack are sitting awkwardly, a little too closely, on the bench near the front door, waiting for their wives to come out of the restroom. People are leaving for the night. Jack is smoking yet another cigarette, looking around, trying to break the uncomfortable silence. He finally thinks of something, embarrassed at how lame it is, but desperate to just say anything.
"Y'ever notice how a woman'll powder 'er nose b'fore she goes to a party? Then, she'll powder it again once the party's over? I mean, why powder yer nose jus' ta go home an' go ta bed?"
-
Randall (smiles): Don't know. Even if I wanted to know, couldn't get a word in with Lashawn long enough to ask. Woman talks a blue streak.
-
Jack, smiling, shaking his head, agrees. "Lively little gal."
-
Jack:
You'll like working for Roy Taylor. He's solid.
-
"Oh, yeah, Roy, he's a good ol' boy," Randall agrees, then the two of them settle into an uneasy quiet. "Uh, he's got a little cabin down on Lake Kemp," Randall says, too casually, "Little crappie house, little boat...said I could use it whenever I want..."
They sit there, awkwardly, until Jack looks up and nods his head in understanding.
"We oughta go down there some weekend," Randall continues, "Drink a little whiskey, fish some...get away...ya know?"
-
OT: DAM, thank you for marrying pix with the words/commentary! Exquisite!
Sorry for ther interruption. Please proceed!
-
Despite what Thomas posted, we already have many threads with pictures from many scenes of the movie. Posting pictures slower the loading of the pages. Maybe we should keep this thread here picture free in order to help members who don't have high speed connexions?
My two cents. ;)

OT: That's fine, Cham! DAM, I hope you don't mind. In any case, I enjoyed the commentary very much. :)
-
Back to schedule....
LaShawn: ...when I was right out of SMU I coulda had my pick of pretty much any job in North Dallas, so my pick was Neiman Marcus blah blah blah... I was spending more than I made.... blah blah... we come out here thinking ranching was still big hats and marlboros, boy, we were behind times...

New scene
Outside Monroe & Alma's house, Riverton WY, 1979, Ennis pulls up in his pick up to get Alma, Jr. -
ENNIS:
Hey there Junior, ya' ready?
-
At the bar,
Cassie to Alma Jr. : What do you think? Is your daddy ever going to see fit to settle down again?
-
ALMA JR.
Uh, I Don't know.
(pause)
Maybe he's not the marrying kind. (smart girl! ;) )
-
Cassie:You don't think so? Or you don't think I'm the one for him?
-
Alma, Jr.: "Yer good enough. I just don't think he's the marrying kind."
-
Cassie: You don't say much but you get your point across
-
ALMA JR.:I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be rude
-
(Ennis returns from the jukebox and rejoins them)
CASSIE: C'mon cowboy you're stayin' on your feet.
(Ennis looks at Alma Jr.)
-
Excuse me darlin'.
-
New Scene. Ennis is driving Alma Jr. home in his old pickup.
ENNIS: So I'll pick you and Jenny up next weekend after church.
-
Jr.: Fine.
Ennis: You alright?
Jr: Yes
Ennis: Sure?
-
Alma jr.:Daddy. I was thinking, what with the new baby and all... Ma’ and Monroe, they've been awful strict on me. More on me than on Jenny even (pause) I was thinking, maybe I could… maybe I could come stay with you, Daddy... I'd be a big help to you, I know I would.
-
Ennis: Now honey, you know I ain't really set up for that. And with the round up coming, I won't ever be home.
-
Alma Jr.:It's all right, Daddy.
Ennis:I ain't saying I wouldn't want...
-
Alma Jr.: It's alright I understand.
Ennis: I'll see ya' on Sunday then.
Alma Jr.: Bye.
Ennis: Bye sweetheart.
(Ennis watches his daughter go into the house and slowly drives off in his old pickup)
-
Next scene: Ennis and Jack sitting at the campfire by the lake, it's night.)
Jack: It's gonna snow tonight for sure.
All this time, and you ain't found nobody else to marry?
-
Ennis:
I been puttin' the blocks to good lookin' little gal over in Riverton.
A waitress . . . . Wants ta' go to nursin' school or sumthin' . . .
I don't know . . .
(takes a swig of Old Rose whiskey, looks at Jack)
What about you an' Lureen?
-
Jack: Lureen's good at making hard deals in the machinery business, but as far as our marriage is concerned,
we could do it over the phone.
-
Jack: I kinda got a thing goin' with a ranch foreman's wife over in Childress. Expect to get shot by Lureen or the husband one, ever' time I slip off to see her.
Ennis: (laughs) Probably deserve it
-
Jack smiling at Ennis then he get's serious..:
Tell you what.....the truth is..........sometimes I miss you so much I can hardly stand it. :\'(
-
(from the complete unedited movie script, but not included in the final film)
ENNIS: I know the feelin'
-
Next morning, Jack and Ennis are packing up their trucks preparing to go home
Jack (glancing at Ennis): Guess I'll head up to Lightning Flat...see the folks for a day or two
-
ENNIS: (uncomfortable) Somethin' I been meanin' to tell you, bud. It's likely November before I can get away again, after we ship stock and before the winter feedin' starts.
-
JACK: (stunned)
November? What in the hell happened to August?
Christ, Ennis, you had a f**kin' week to say some little word about this.
-
(ENNIS is silent)
JACK: And why's it we're always in the friggin' cold weather? We oughta go south, where it's warm. We oughta go to Mexico.
-
ENNIS: (trying to lighten the mood)
Mexico?
Hell, you know me Jack . . . 'bout all the
travelin' I ever done is goin' round
the coffepot, lookin' for the handle.
(Jack is silent)
-
Ennis: lighten up on me, Jack. We can hunt in November, kill a nice elk. Try if I can get Don Wroe's cabin again. We had a good time that year, didn't we?
JACK: (starts popping his glove on his leg again - bitter disappointment)
Never enough time, never enough (looks at ENNIS) you know, friend, this is a goddamn bitch of a unsatisfactory situation. You used to come away easy. Now it's like seein' the Pope.
-
ENNIS:
Jack, I gotta' work. Them earlier days I used to quit the jobs. You forget how it is, bein' broke all the time. You ever hear of child support? Let me tell you, I can't quit this one. And I can't get the time off.
Was tough enough gettin' this time. The trade off was August.
(Ennis frustrated that Jack ain't buying it)
You got a better idea?
-
JACK: (bitter, accusatory) I did, once.
-
Ennis(in a mocking tone):You did, once...
He walks towards Jack,by saying:
Have you ever been to Mexico,Jack?
-
Ennis:
'Cause I hear what they got in Mexico for boys like you...
-
Hell yeah, I been in Mexico... Is that a f***in problem??
-
Ennis(progressively angry and being closer to Jack):I'm gonna tell you this one time, Jack fu**in' Twist, an' I ain't foolin'. What I don't know - all them things that I don't know - could get you killed if I come to know them. I ain't jokin'.
Jack: Yeah well try this one, and I'll say it just once!
Ennis Del Mar: Go ahead!
-
(My God, this one breaks my heart everytime :\'( ) :
Tell you what, we could have had a good life together, fu**in' real good life... had us a place of our own.
But you didn't want it Ennis! So what we got now is Brokeback Mountain!
-
(Mine too,Iswear,mine too is broken...)
Jack:Everything's built on that! That's all we got, boy, fu**in' all. So I hope you know that, even if you don't never know the rest! You count the damn few times we have been together in nearly twenty years and you measure the short !@#$ leash you keep me on - and then you ask me about Mexico and tell me you'll kill me for needing somethin' I don't hardly never get. You have no idea how bad it gets!
-
JACK:
I'm not YOU. I can't make it on a few high altitude fucks once or twice a year.
You're too much for me Ennis, you son of a whoreson bitch.
I wish I knew how to quit you.
-
So why don't you? Why don't you just let me be? It's because of you Jack that I'm like this... I'm nothing, I'm nowhere.
-
Jack approaches to Ennis saying:Ennis,son of a bitch...(He tries to embrace him).
Ennis(pushing him):Get the f*** off me!
He falls in Jack´s arms crying:I can't stand being like this no more, Jack...
-
Flashback Brokeback Mountain 1963
The dozy embrace scene: <^(
Ennis hugs Jack from behind and says:
And now you're sleepin' on your feet like a horse..
My mama used to sing that to me when I was little . . . hums....

ENNIS:
I got to go . . .
-
Ennis pushes slightly Jack as he left him to ride his horse and go away to the mountain.We see Jack who follows him with a glance full with peace and love.Immediately,this look changes to show us an older Jack,whose look and glance differs greatly from the young Jack of the embrace;now He's looking at Ennis going away also,in his truck.
-
new scene
Ennis is sitting at a table eating a piece of pie in the diner in Riverton. Cassie walks into the diner with a man.
Cassie: Hey, Ennis del Mar...where you been?
-
Ennis: Here and there
-
Cassie: (quieter) I left word for you with Steve at the ranch. And you must of got those notes Ileft at you place.
-
ENNIS:
(glances over at Carl)
Looks like I got the message in any case.
-
CASSIE: Carl? Yeah, Carl's nice. He even talks...
-
ENNIS: Well then, good for you
-
Cassie: Yeah, good for me.
-
I don't get you Ennis Del Mar
-
ENNIS: Sorry. I probably wasn't any fun anyway, was I?
-
Cassie: Ennis... girls don't fall in love with fun!
-
New Scene:
Outside Riverton, WY Post Office, 1982. Ennis has just picked up his mail.
Stops, there is a postcard with his own handwriting on it addressed to Jack Twist.
It is stamped DECEASED.
(https://ennisjack.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi139.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fq313%2Fjackster545%2Fdeceased.jpg&hash=b2ce9191c94f7452c18f6cc03591df62ae805573)
Ennis silently groans. Goes to the nearby pay phone.
-
Lureen: Hello?
-
Ennis:Uh, hello, this is Ennis Del Mar, I, uh....
-
LUREEN:
Who?
Who is this?
-
ENNIS:Ennis Del Mar. I'm an old buddy of Jack's, I....
-
Lureen: Jack used to mention you. You're the fishing buddy or the hunting buddy, I know that. Would have let yu know, but wasn't sure your name or address. Jack kept hir friend's addresses in his head.
-
ENNIS:
That's why I'm callin', is ta' see what happen'd . . . .
-
LUREEN: Oh yeah. Jack was pumping up a flat on the truck out on a back road when the tire blew up...
-
...The rim of the tire slammed into his face and broke his nose and jaw, knocked him unconscious on his back. By the time somebody came along, he had drowned in hs own blood. Terrible thing. He was only thirty-nine years old. :\'(
-
Ennis can't speak . . . .
He wonders, suddenly if it was the tire iron:
FLASHBACK Ennis' POV:
We see Jack being beaten unmercifully by assailants using a tire iron.
Ennis doesn't know which way it was, tire iron or a a real accident.
-
Lureen: ...Hello?
-
ENNIS:He buried down there?
-
LUREEN:
We put a stone up. He was cremated, like he wanted, and half his ashes was interred here. The rest I sent up with his folks. He used to say he wanted his ashes scattered on Brokeback Mountain, but I wasn't sure where that was. I thought Brokeback Mountain might be around where he grew up. But knowing Jack, it might be some pretend place where the bluebirds sing and there's a whiskey spring.
-
Ennis: No, ma'am, we herded sheep up on Brokeback one summer, back in '63.
-
LUREEN: (swallows hard) Oh. Well, he said it was his favourite place. I thought he meant to drink. He drank a lot.
-
ENNIS:His folks still up in Lightnin' Flat?
-
they'll be there 'til they die
-
Ennis: Well,thank you for your time.I sure am sorry.We was good friends.
Lureen:Get in touch with his folks.I supoose they´d appreciate it if his wishes was carried out.About the ashes,I mean.
(She hangs up the phone)
-
New scene.
ENNIS pulls his pickup truck up in front of the TWIST house, Jack’s childhood home.
A woman, probably 60 to 65 comes out the door, stands proudly on the porch. This is Jack’s mother.
Next scene.
ENNIS sits at the kitchen table, across from him sits Jack’s father, tough, weather-beaten, testy. Ennis can’t see Jack in either of them.
JACK’S MOTHER:
Want a cup of coffee, don’t you? Piece of cherry cake?
-
ENNIS: (stiff but polite)Thank you, ma'am. I'll take a cup a coffee, but I can't eat no cake just now (JOHN TWIST stares at ENNIS with an angry, knowing expression) I feel awful bad about Jack... can't begin to tell you how bad I feel. I knew him a long time.
(pause) I come by to say that if you want me to take his ashes up there on Brokeback like his wife said he wanted, I'd be proud to (uncomfortable silence - ENNIS clears his throat, but then says nothing)
-
OLD MAN TWIST:
Tell you what. I know where Brokeback Mountain is.
Thought he was too goddamn special to be buried in the family plot.
-
JOHN TWIST:Jack used a say, “Ennis del Mar”, he used a say, “I'm goin' a bring him up here one a these days and we'll lick this damn ranch into shape”. He had some half-baked notion the two a you was goin' a move up here, build a cabin, help run the place (pause) then this spring he's got another fella's goin' a come up here with him and build a place and help run the ranch, some ranch neighbor a his from down in Texas. He's goin' a split up with his wife and come back here (sarcastic) So he says. But like most a Jack's ideas it never come to pass
-
Jack's mum(touches Ennis's shoulder): I kept his room like it was when he was a boy. I think he appreciated that......
You are welcome to go up to his room, if you want.
-
ENNIS:
Yeah, ma'am I'd like that.
-
Bedroom & closet scene, Ennis finds the shirts and is back dowstairs with them, Mrs. Twist nods and place the shirts in paper bag & give them to Ennis.
JOhn Twist: Tell you what, we got a family plot and he's goin' in it.
-
ENNIS: ENNIS: (resigned to this fact, nods at the old man as if he understands) Yes sir.
JACK's MOTHER: (hands him the sack with the two shirts)You come back and see us again.
-
ENNIS:
(nods)
Ma'am. Thank you for this.
-
New Scene
ENNIS's modest little trailer house, his battered pickup parked in front.
A new mailbox on the trailer house just to the right of the front door.ENNIS has a set of stick-on numbers in his hand. Peels the 1 off and precisely applies it, then the 7:17. Steps back, admires his work.
We see a 1982 Chevy Camaro pull into his driveway behind his truck. Engine cuts. ALMA JR. steps out of the Camaro and closes the door. ENNIS smiles. ALMA JR. walks up to her father
ENNIS: Hey there, Junior....
-
Alma Jr. :Hey daddy, like the car?
-
ENNIS:
(nods)
Ugh, yeah.
Is it yours?
-
ALMA JR.:It's Kurt's.
-
ENNIS: Kurt? I thought you was seein' Troy?
-
Alma Jr: Troy? Daddy that was 2 years ago!
-
ENNIS: Huh. Well. Troy still playin' baseball?
-
Alma Jr: I don't know what he's doin', I'm seein' Kurt now.
-
ENNIS: Well, what does Kurt do?
-
Alma Jr: He works on the oil fields.
-
ENNIS:
Ah, he's a roughneck, huh? . . .
ALMA, JR. (laughs)
Yeah
ENNIS:
I guess you're nineteen, you can do whatever you want, is that right?
ALMA, JR.
Sure.
-
Junior: Daddy, you need more furniture.
-
ENNIS: You don't got nothin', you don't need nothin'
-
ALMA JR. :Me and Kurt...we're getting married
-
Ennis :
So what's the occasion?
-
ALMA JR.: Me and Kurt...we're getting married
-
ENNIS:
Uhn, . . . How long you known this guy for?
-
Junior: About a year. Wedding'll be June fifth at the Methodist Church. Jenny's singing, and Monroe's gonna cater the reception.
-
ENNIS:This Kurt fella...does he love you?
-
ALMA JR.:
Yeah Daddy, he loves me.
(https://ennisjack.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi139.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fq313%2Fjackster545%2FEnnishelovesme.jpg&hash=7424ce6fabc48f5a7f727a375045e5b68b3b25a2)
Ennis looks wistfully out the window . . . .
-
He seems at the point of crying;after some moments of silence,Jr. says:
-Was hoping you'd be there.
Ennis:
-Yeah.I think I'm supposed to be on a round-up near the Tetons.
-
ENNIS:
(pauses, thinks, gets up goes to the fridge)
You know whut, I reckon they can find themselves a new cowboy.
-
....my little girl... is getting married.
Hands her a glass of wine.
To Alma and Kurt.!
-
Ennis:Jack I swear... :\'(
-
:\'(
Let's rewind to the very beginning...
Jack (kicking his truck): Shi-it!
-
An old stationwagon stops about two feet from the steps ,Ennis jumps up to get out of the way.
Aguire: If you pair of deuces are lookin' for a job, I suggest you get your scrawny asses here, pronto.
-
Aguirre: Now up on Brokeback the Forest Service got designated campsites on the allotments. Them camps can be 3, 4 miles from where we pasture the woollies. Bad predator loss if there's nobody lookin' after 'em at night.
-
AGUIRRE continues:
Now what I want . . .
(looks at Ennis)
Is the camp tender in the main camp where the Forest Service says,
but the herder . . .
(looks at Jack)
Pitch a pup tent on the Q.T. with sheep, and he's gonna' sleep there.
Eat yur' supper and breakfast in camp, but sleep with sheep, - hundred percent.
No fire, don't leave no sign, roll up that tent every mornin' case the
Forest Service snoops around.
-
Aguirre:(phone rings): Yeah? No. No. Not on your f*ckin' life!... hangs up
....You got your dogs, your 30/30, you sleep there. Last summer I had goddamn 25% loss, I don't want that again.
You (points at Ennis).. Fridays at noon be down at the bridge with your groery list and mules, somebody with supplies will be there at the pickup.
Tomorrow mornin' we'll truck you up to the jump off.
Picks up the phone. Pauses. Looks angrily at Ennis and Jack.
-
(Outside the door to Aguirre's trailer)
JACK:
extending his hand
Jack Twist.
-
ENNIS....
-
JACK (with his cute, sly smile):
Your folks just stop at Ennis?
-
ENNIS: (mumbles) del Mar
-
JACK:
Nice to know you, Ennis Del Mar.
(Jack's thinkin' this summer might not be so bad,
if he can get rid of that damn pup tent) ;)
-
(Modified 'cos I missed a bit!)
The boys move to a bar down the street
JACK (taking a swig from his beer): My second year up here. Last year a lightnin' storm killed 42 sheep - thought I'd asphyxiate from the smell. 'Course Aguirre got all over my back like I'm supposed to control the weather. Still, beats workin' for my old man - can't please my old man, no way. Why I took to rodeoin'. You ever rodeo?
ENNIS: Well, you know, once in a while, when I got the entry fee in my pocket.
JACK (nods): You from ranch people?
-
ENNIS:
Yeah, . . . I was.
-
Jack:Your folks run you off?
-
ENNIS:
No. They run themselves off.
There's one curve in the road in 43 miles, and they missed it.
So the bank took the ranch.
Brother and sister they raised me mostly.
-
JACK:
Shit. That's hard.
-
Ennis, pointing to Jack's lighter: Can I?
Jack hands him the lighter
Ennis: Thank you.
-
NEW SCENE AT TRAILHEAD ON BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN
Sheep trucks unloading, Ennis packing his mules.
BASQUE: (watching Ennis)
Don't let 'em stray. Joe'll have your ass if you do.
Only thing, don't never order soup.
Them soup boxes are real hard to pack.
-
ENNIS: Well, I don't eat soup
-
ENNIS:
(watching Jack trying to control his skittish mare)
You wanta' watch it there, that horse has a low startle point.
-
JACK:
(cocky)
I doubt there's a filly that can throw me.
Let's get, 'less you wanna stand around and tie knots all day.
ENNIS:
(looks longingly after Jack as his filly trots away)
-
(Several beautiful scenes with no dialog)
The thousand sheep, dogs, horses, Jack and Ennis move up onto the mountainside.
Jack and Ennis tend the sheep, whistle at the dogs, then we see them both alone, lost in their own thoughts.
Ennis and Jack set up their camp by a stream.
Jack slowly rides off to spend the night alone with the sheep, looks longingly down the mountain at Ennis’s bright campfire.
In the morning he comes back to camp for breakfast with Ennis.
-
JACK finishes his breakfast.
JACK (bitching):
Shit. Can't wait 'til I got my own spread, won't have to put up with Joe Aguirre's crap no more.
-
ENNIS:
Uh, I'm savin' for uh place myself. . . . uh, . . .
Alma an' me, we'll . . we'll be gettin' married when I come down off this mountain.
-
JACK:
Shit, that stay with the sheep, no fire bullshit. Aguirre's got no right makin' us do somthin' against the rules.
-
several more beautiful scenes with no dialog -
Jack mounts his horse to head to the sheep, she crow hops a little, meanwhile . . .
Ennis watches him ride off (longingly?).
Jack’s up on the mountain, naps with the dogs and sheep.
Ennis down in camp whittles a wood horse to while away the time.
Next scene:
Ennis cleans up the campfire from a meal, Jack mounts his horse to ride back to the sheep.
JACK shouts back to Ennis as he rides off:
No more beans!
-
JACK, up with the sheep now, holds his rifle, takes a bead on a big coyote. Shoots. Misses.
JACK:Dammit!
-
New Scene
Ennis at the bridge with the Basque and the pack mules, Ennis shakes his head, steps back . . .
ENNIS
Uh, I dunno . . .
BASQUE
Sumthing wrong?
-
ENNIS: ( a look of disappointment )
Where's the powdered milk and the spuds?
-
BASQUE: It's all we got
-
ENNIS:
Well, eh . . . ?
ah, well here's next weeks.
-
BASQUE: (looks at the list, and looks at Ennis with a knowing grin)
Thought you didn't eat soup!
-
Ennis: Well, I'm sick of beans.
-
BASQUE: (still grinning)
Too early in the summer to be sick a' beans.
-
Ennis leaves with the animals.Suddenly,a bear appears and the mule throw him on the ground.Ennis runs, trying also to pick some of the supplies.
Meanwhile,Jack returns to the camp and gets surprised of not finding Ennis.We see him,already by night,sitting next to the bonfire and drinking whiskey.At the end,Ennis arrives groaning and in bad humour.He doesn´t seem to realise his fellow is there.
-
JACK (in full on bitch mode): Where the hell you been? I'm up with the sheep all day, come back here hungry as hell and all I find is beans.
Ennis storms past him and Jack catches sight of the cut on his head. His tone softens and he continues,
What in the hell happened, Ennis?
-
Came upon a bear is what happened. Goddamn horse spooked and the mules took off, scattered food everywhere. Beans 'bout all we got left.
-
Jack takes off his bandana, wets it and presses it to Ennis's head. Ennis takes it off him, their fingers brushing. Jack then offers Ennis the water canteen but Ennis wants something stronger
ENNIS: You got whiskey or somethin'?
-
Ennis takes the whiskey, all grumpy...mumbles... "Dumb ass mule."
Jack: Well, we gotta do somethin' about this food situation.....Maybe I'll shoot one of the sheep.
-
ENNIS:
Whut if Aguirre finds out, huh? We're

Fayette turns to her husband, L.D. and says: L.D., where did you put them?
-
L.D: oh i left them in the trunk... rodeo el' get em'.
(throws jack they keys which land on the floor)
-
Jack picks up the keys
Fayette: Oh, L.D., I can already see who littel Bobby looks like.
-
L.D: good job girl, he's the spittin' image of his Grandpa. isn't he the spittin' image of his Grandpa?
Jack, while standing by the door, looks like outsider on the whole scene with a bitter expression on his face for a few seconds, and leaves the room.

New scene: Riverton, WY
Ennis drives his pick-up truck into a small parking lot behind a laundromat. Ennis gets out of the pick-up and walks up the back stairs and enters a small apartment.
Alma is in the kitchen at the stove cooking. Alma Jr. is 'cooking' on a toy stove.
Alma: Hey, Honey.
Ennis walks to the sink and washes his hands.
Alma: Ennis? Do you know somebody by the name of Jack?
Ennis, his back to Alma, freezes for a moment.
Ennis: I might. Why?
Alma: You got a postcard...it come General Delivery.

Heard you was in Riverton. I'm coming thru on the 24th,
thought I'd stop and buy a beer. Drop me a line
if you can, say if your there.
Jack"
-
Ennis, with trembling hands, reads the post card, then turns it over and looks at the address. He caresses the postcard with his thumb.
Alma: Is he somebody you cowboy'd with?
Ennis: No, Jack...he rodeos mostly.
Ennis pauses for a second and continues: We was fishing buddies.
Ennis walks out of the kitchen
-
Next scene: Ennis writes on a postcard "you bet" mail it and tap on the postbox.

New Scene: Del Mar Apartment
Ennis walks into the living room carrying a bottle of beer and sits down in a chair by the window. Alma is sitting on the couch coloring in a coloring book with Alma Jr.
Alma: Maybe we could get a baby-sitter and take your friend to the Knife and Fork
Ennis: Jack ain't the restaurant type. More than likely we'll just go out and get drunk...
Ennis looks out the window: IF HE SHOWS.
-
Ennis waits expectantly for Jack, smoking drinking beer, stands up looking out the window seats down looks like he falls asleep...
Sound of a truck engine: Ennis goes to window, looks out, sees Jack get out of his truck, smiles, runs out the door tucking his shirt tail in, out on the landing, big smile lights up his face, in just one moment it is clear that the passage of time has only strengthened the men's attachment.
Ennis: "Jack f**kin' Twist!!" <^(
-
Jack: "sonofabitch..."
-
ennis bounds down the steps to at a time and jack walks towards him the pair embrace and jack wispers "son of a bitch" (maybe not your typical endearment but he said it nicely :P)
ennis then looks around before pushing jack againt the wall and engaging a kiss (a mind blowing kiss!! <^( <^() jack then pushed ennis against the opposite wall and they kiss some more <^( <^( <^(
-
Ennis: "Later..."
-
alma comes to the door and sees them kissing she looks devestated and speechless and slowly steps back in the house, ennis breaks the kiss and gentally presses his forhead against jacks nose as he does so, then then move around like they may kiss again. (appearing to sniff each other)
-
Inside the Del Mar's apartment:
Ennis: "Alma, this is Jack Twist. Jack, this is my wife Alma"

New scene, Del mar apartment. Ennis comes home. Alma is there.
Ennis: Me and Jack's heading to the mountains for a day or two. Do a little fishin.
-
Alma (in her nightgown and robe) walks quickly to the front window and looks out and sees Jack leaning on the side of his truck.
Alma (slowly): You know, your friend could come in and have a cup of coffee.
Ennis (not meeting Alma's eyes): He's from Texas
Alma: Texans don't drink coffee?
-
Alma: You sure that foreman won't fire you for takin' off?
-
Ennis: that foreman he owes me. I worked through a blizzard last christmas, remember that? Besides, I'll only be a couple days.
-
Alma, Jr. comes running into the room
Junior: Bring me a fish Daddy...a BIG FISH!
-
Ennis: "c'mere... you be a good girl to your mama"
-
Ennis picks Alma Jr. up and gives her a big kiss. He hands Alma Jr. to Alma and puts one arm around Alma, gives her a quick hug and a kiss on the cheek.
Ennis: see 'ya Sunday, ladies.
Ennis leaves in a hurry. Alma, holding Alma Jr., looking sad starts to cry and wipes her tears away.
-
Jack, as he crushes his cigarette under his boot and gets in the truck cab :
I'm starving, wanna' get somethin' ta eat?
Ennis , putting his gear in the truck: Yup.
-
New scene: Jack's truck driving in the mountains. The truck stops near the edge of a cliff. Jack and Ennis get out of the truck running (taking off their clothes as they run) toward the cliff.
Jack: the last one in....
Jack and Ennis, both naked, jump off the cliff into the river below.
-
New scene , night at a campsite,Ennis laying, looking up..
Jack:Is there anything interesting up there in heaven?.....
(Can't help to think about the bitter irony of that question!!! :\'( )
-
Just sending a prayer of thanks.
-
jack: for what?
ennis: for you forgetting to bring that harmonica (grins and does an almost laugh type thing)
-
Ennis (continues): I'm enjoying the peace and quiet
Jack, glancing over at Ennis: You know, it could be like this, just like this...Always.
-
Ennis (with a sudden look of concern on his face):
Yeah, how do ya' figure that?
-
Jack:What if me and you had a little ranch together somewhere, little cow-and-calf operation, it'd be some sweet life. Hell, Lureen's old man, you bet he'd give me a down-payment if I'd get lost. Already more or less said it....
-
Ennis (looking at Jack with sorrow in his eyes):
No, I . . . (Ennis gets up and sits close to Jack)
I told you it ain't gonna be that way . . .what I'm sayin', you got your wife and baby down in Texas, I got my life in Riverton.
-
Jack: is that so? you and Alma, thats a life?
-
Ennis: hey, you shut up about alma, this aint her fault
-
Bottom line is, we're around each other, and if this thing grabs hold of us at the wrong place, at the wrong time, we're dead.
-
Scene switches from Ennis and Jack to a younger Ennis walking down a dirt trail with his older brother and his father.
Ennis: There was these two old guys who ranched together down home, Earl and Rich. They was the joke in town, even though they was pretty tough old birds. They found Earl dead in an irrigation ditch. They took a tire iron to him, spurred him up, drug him around by his dick till it pulled off...
young Ennis sees Earl's body and his eyes widen in shock
-
Jack (quietly): You seen that?
-
Ennis, shoulders hunched, head down: I was, what? Nine years old? My daddy, he made sure me and my older brother K.E., seen it. Hell, for all I know, he done the job hisself...
Two GUYS living together? NO WAY. We can get together, once in a while, way the hell out in the middle of nowhere, but...
-
Jack: once in a while? every four !@#$ years?
-
Ennis: if you cant fix it Jack, you've got to stand it... :\'( :\'(
-
Jack (sounding adorable and pissed off simultainiously): for how long?
-
Ennis: As long as we can ride it. There ain't no reins on this one.....
Jack gently caresses Ennis's ear and cheek <^(
-
NEW SCENE: Riverton - the parking lot behind Ennis and Alma's apartment (above the laudromat). Alma Jr. and Jenny are swingiing on a swing set.
Alma's voice (heard from inside the apartment) yelling: SUPPER IS ON THE STOVE!
The apartment door opens and Alma comes rushing out.
-
ENNIS:
No one's eatin' it unless your serving it!
-
Alma (yelling) as she runs down the stairs: I ALREADY PROMISED I'D TAKE THE EXTRA SHIFT!
-
Ennis (shouting): well tell em you made a mistake then!
-
ENNIS:
Goddamn it! . . Alma! . . . Alma!
(she ignores him, goes on her way)
(Ennis walks dejectedly back to the apartment)
You girls need a push or sumthin'?
-
Alma Jr. and Jenny both stop swinging and look up at Ennis.
Both: No.
Both girls start swinging again.
Ennis nods his head and continues to walk back up the stairs to the apartment.

JACK:
(climbing into a combine, in his best eager-beaver, salesman come-on style)
Listen to her purr Gentlemen, you're not gonna' get that with your Caddy.
I told you she could do it, now let me show you.
-
Meanwhile inside the office, two farmers looking out the window at Jack's demonstration of the farm equipment.
Farmer#1: Didn't that piss-ant use to ride the bulls?
Farmer#2: He used to try . . . .
Lureen glance at them, angrily.

JACK:Honey, you seen my blue parka?

Lureen: Um, last time I seen it you was in it, day we had that big ice storm.
-
Jack opens a closet door: Could of sworn I left it here...
-
Lureen: You know, you been going up to Wyoming all these years, why can't your buddy come down here to Texas and fish??
-
JacK: 'cause the Big Horn Mountains ain't in Texas....doubt his pickup would make it this far, anyway.
-
Lureen:New model coming in this week,remember?You're the best combine salesman we got.You're the only combine salesman,in fact.
(Meanwhile,Jack is looking for his parka and seems not to pay attention to his wife's chatter).
-
Jack: Well, I'll only be gone a week. That is unless I freeze to death, and I might freeze if I don't find that parka.
-
Lureen (snappishly): Well, I don't have your goddamned parka. You're worse than Bobby when it comes to losing stuff...
-
Jack: Oh,speaking of Bobby,did you call his school about getting him a tutor?
Lureen: I thought you were going to call.
Jack:I complain too much.The teacher don't like me.
Lureen: Right.
-
Lureen:"Oh, ok, so fine. I'll just, I'll call later,"
"Right....right," Jack murmurs, as he goes over to Lureen, bends over, gives her a dry peck on the lips.
"I've got fourteen hours a drivin' ahead a me".
-
Lureen: It don't seem fair, you driving up there two or three times a year, him never coming down here...
Jack walks out the door while Lureen is still talking.
-
New scene: Del Mar Apartment. Ennis is packing for a fishing trip.
Alma: Ennis, they got an opening over at the power company. Might be good pay.
-
Ennis is looking in a low cabinet, finds his thermos and puts in in his bag.
Ennis: Clumsy as I am, I'd probably get electrocuted.
-
Alma Jnr: Daddy, the church picnic's next weekend, will you be back from fishin by next weekend?
-
Ennis:
"Well, alright, as long as I don't have to sing! Uuh?" as the girls giggle and one of them says playfully, "Dadie!"
Ennis grabs his basket off the table , preparing to leave.
Alma:
"You forgetin' something?"
-
Ennis looks around and quckly grabs his tackle box off the kitchen table without a word to Alma and rushes out the door. Alma, sitting at the kitchen table holding her coffee cup, stares off into space.
-
Next scene:
Jack is on the mountain,when Ennis arrives on his truck.They smile at each other.
Jack:You're late.

We can see Ennis working,giving grass to the cows.
Another scene:
He's with Alma and the girls in their dinning room,watching TV.Ennis looks like really bored,lying in the sofa.
Alma:It's Saturday night.You know...we could still smarten up and head on over to the church social.
Ennis:That fire and brimstone crowd?
-
Alma is sitting in a chair knitting: Well, I think it would be nice.
Ennis drinks his beer and doesn't answer.
-
ENNIS packs and mounts his horse.
JACK watches from a distance, then walks up to Ennis.
JACK: Won't get much sleep. I'll tell you that.
-
ENNIS packs and mounts his horse.
JACK watches from a distance, then walks up to Ennis.
JACK: Won't get much sleep. I'll tell you that.
I think that the next is the bed scene:
Alma:As far behind as we are on the bills, it makes me nervous not to take no precautions...
-
I think that the next is the bed scene:
Alma:As far behind as we are on the bills, it makes me nervous not to take no precautions...
Hmm...I think you skipped a few pages, hpv. They are still on the mountain?
-
Andrew, I think hpv quoted the scene that followed what jesseanne quoted - look at the post before yours. The bed scene follows the "fire and brimstone" discussion.
Alma:As far behind as we are on the bills, it makes me nervous not to take no precautions...
Ennis: If you don't want no more of my kids, I'd be happy to leave you alone.
-
Alma: I'd have 'em if you'd support 'em.
-

Ennis: If you don't want no more of my kids, I'd be happy to leave you alone.
Curious, what the hell happened to August? I thought there was one with Jack saying to Ennis...
You won't get much sleep. I will tell you that.
...
Oh well, carry on. I guess Ennis had to work in August. :8
-
Divorce court scene :
Custody of the two minor children Alma Delmar Jr and Jennifer Delmar is awarded to the plaintiff. Defendant is ordered to pay child support to the plaintiff in the sum of 125 dollars per month for each of the minor children until they reach the age of 18 years.
Delmar divorced granted this 6th day of November 1975.
(Lance, they went up the mountain 2-3 times a year..."what the hell happened to August" is from the confrontation scene... :) )
-
sorry for OT, but I am sometimes too much of a bloodhound and not easily letting things go.
I meant what happened to August as in, if you look at the posts, there is a gap between July 21, and August 4. The post that I thought I was responding to, was probably August 3. Anyway, it don't matter much.
New Scene:
Ennis and Jack sitting by the fire after supper. Ennis enjoying his beans, licking his chops, and working his fork to get the last bean.
Jack: Your brothers and sisters do right by you?

Lance, the scene you are thinking of took place in 1963. The scene we are up to (Ennis and Alma's divorce) takes place in 1975.
NEW SCENE: 1975, Wyoming - outside Ennis' home
Alma Jr. and Jenny are sitting in Ennis' truck. Ennis is standing by the truck. Jack drives up in his truck (King of the Road is playing on the radio).
Jack gets out of his truck and he and Ennis walk toward each other and hug each other tightly.
Ennis (smiling): "What are you doing here?"
-
Jack:
I got your message about the divorce so here I am.
-
Well Jack, uh... You see, I have the girls this weekend and I already missed last month...
-
Jack:
I got your message about the divorce so here I am.
Ennis walks Jack over to his truck and leans in and says to Alma Jr. and Jenny: "This is my friiend, Jack Twist. Jack, these are my girls, Alma Jr. and Jenny."
Jr and Jenny look and Jack.
Ennis: "Say 'hi' girls."
Jr. (shyly) and Jenny (smiling): "HI!"
-
Ennis walks Jack over to his truck and leans in and says to Alma Jr. and Jenny: "This is my friiend, Jack Twist. Jack, these are my girls, Alma Jr. and Jenny."
Jr and Jenny look and Jack.
Ennis: "Say 'hi' girls."
Jr. (shyly) and Jenny (smiling): "HI!"
Jack and Ennis move away from the truck.
Jack: Your card said the divorce came through, so... here I am. Had to ask about ten different people in Riverton where you'd moved to.
Ennis doesn't answer, looks down.
Jack: ...I guess I thought this means you'd...
-
Ennis (looking pained): Jack, sorry...I don't know what to say. I got the girls this weekend. See I only get them once a month and I missed last month because of the roundup.
I'm sorry as hell...you know what I mean
-
(We forgot : after Jack says "so here I am " he said: had to ask about ten different people in Riverton where you moved to.)
Now back to recital.........
JACK (heavily disappointed, looking away): Yeah, all right . . .
ENNIS: Jack . . .
JACK: ( with a relinquish in his voice) : So I'll see you next month then. :-\\
-
Jack turns away and walks back to his truck, gets in and drives away. Ennis, looking miserable, watches him drive away.
New scene: Jack angrily wipes tears from his eyes.
New scene: We see Jack's truck on the highway to Mexico.
-
New scene: Juarez, Mexico. Night. A crowded street that opens to a dark alley.
Little girl: Vendo (venda?) chickle(t)! Vendo (venda?) chickle(t)!
In the background, we here the opening verses of the song:
Siempre que te pregunto
Que, cuándo, cómo y dónde
Tú siempre me respondes
Quizás, quizás, quizás...
-
Mexico, an alley with all kind of types...
Jack stops in front of a Mexican male prostitute that asks: :"Senior?"
Jack nods and both men get lost in the dark alley.
-
New Scene: The home of Jack and Lureen Twist. Thanksgiving Day
Jack and Lureen are carrying food from the kitchen to the dining room. Sitting at the dining room table are Lureen's parents, L.D. and Fayette, and Jack and Lureen's son, Bobby. In the next room a football game is playing on the television.
Jack places a platter with a roasted turkey on the dining room table and prepares to carve the turkey. L.D. takes the carving knife and fork away from Jack and says:
LD: Whoa, there Rodeo, the stud duck does the carving around here...
-
Jack: You bet L.D... just thought I'd save you the trouble.
-
Bobby is staring at the TV and eating at the same time.
Lureen: Bobby, if you don't eat your dinner, I'm gonna have to turn off that television.
-
Bobby: why mama, we're gonna be eating this food for the next two weeks!
-
Jack: You heard your mama, you eat your dinner, then you can watch the game.
-
L.D.: Hell, we don't eat with our eyes... boys should watch football.
-
Jack (standing up to turn the tv off): not until he finishes the meal his mama spent 3 hours fixin'
-
LD rises from his seat, heads toward the TV.
Jack: (angrily, pushed beyond his limit):
Now you sit down you old son-of-a-bitch!! This is my house, my child, and you are my guest. Now you sit down before I knock your ignorant ass into next week!!!
( Oh, I love that line...lol)
In shock, LD meekly returns to his seat. Jack begins carving the turkey. Lureen unsuccessfully tries to suppress a smile of appreciation.
-
New Scene: Riverton,WY. Thanksgiving night at the home of Alma and her new husband, Monroe.
Monroe is sitting at the head of the table carving a turkey with an electric carving knife (he he he ;D). Alma, who about 6 months pregnant, sits opposite Monroe. Jenny and Ennis sit at the table on Alma's right and Alma Jr. is sitting on Alma's left opposite Ennis.
Alma looks angry and Ennis looks VERY uncomfortable.
Jr.: Daddy, tell us about when you rode broncs in the rodeo....
-
ENNIS: Short story honey. Only 'bout three seconds I was on that bronc, an' the next thing I knew I was flyin' through the air. Only I wasn't no angel like you and Jenny, and didn't have no wings.
(ENNIS smiles at her)
And that's the story of my saddle bronc career.
-
New scene: Ennis and Alma in the kitchen.
Alma: You ought to get married again Ennis. Me and the girls worry 'bout you being alone so much.
-
Ennis, embarrassed, looks at his feet and mumbles: once burned
-
Alma: do you still go fishing with Jack Twist?
-
Ennis: Not often.
-
Alma takes a deep breath and says: you know, I used to wonder how come you never brought any trouts home.
her voice is trembling as she continues: always said you caught plenty, and you know how me and the girls like fish.
-
ENNIS: (in one of his great gutteral, emotive, expressions)
Auhm.
-
Alma again: So one night I got your creel case open the night before you went on one of your little trips- price tag still on it after five years- and I tied a note on the end of the line. It said "Hello Ennis, bring some fish home, love Alma."
-
Alma (continuing): and then you come back looking all perky and said you'd caught a bunch of browns and ate them all up. Do you remember?
Alma looks quickly at Ennis and continues: I looked in that case the first chance I got and there was my note still tied there. That line never touched water a day in it's life...
-
ENNIS: (beginning to boil)
That doesn't mean nuthin' Alma.
-
Alma: Don't try an' fool me no more, Ennis. I know what it means. Jack Twist?
Ennis: Alma....
Alma: JACK NASTY! You didn't go up there to fish!
(I don't believe I got this line) :)
-
Alma (crying): you and him-
ennis (cutting alma off short and grabbing her angrily by the arm):you dont no nothin about him.
-
Alma:(With fear in her eyes) I'm going to yell for Monroe!
-
ENNIS:
Go ahead an' fukin' yell, I'll make him eat the fukin' floor!!
ALMA: (screaming)
GET OUT!! GET OUT!!
ENNIS:
An' you too!
-
Alma is crying and screaming. Ennis walks quickly from the kitchen through the living room where Alma Jr., Jenny and Monroe are watching television. Ennis grabs his coat and hat and heads out the door without saying a word.
Junior and Jenny run outside and stand on the front porch. Ennis walks across the street to his truck and gets in.
Jenny: Daddy?
Junior: Bye, Daddy...
Ennis drives away
-
Ennis speeds to to the Black N' Blue Eagle bar.
Parks his one eyed pickup across the snowy street, makes a bee-line to the bar.
Walks right in front of another pick-up, driver hits the brakes, skidding to a stop just short of Ennis.
OTHER DRIVER: (yellin' out the window)
Hey asshole! Watch where you're goin'!
Ennis snaps, attacks the driver through the open window.
Fight ensues. Driver, bigger n' Ennis, jumps out, pounds Ennis to the ground.
Gives him repeated kicks and jabs to ribs and groin.
Fadeout.
-
Next scene:
Ennis and Jack are on the mountain.We see them riding on their horses around beautiful landscapes.They have put their tent by the river when Jack says:
Jack: All I ask is what's the point of making it?If the taxes don't get it,the inflation will eat it all up.
-
Jack: You should see Lureen, punchin' numbers into her adding machine, huntin' for extra zeros, her eyes gettin' smaller and smaller, it's like watchin' a rabbit tryin' to squeeze into a snake hole with a coyote on its tale.
-
Ennis: sounds like some high class entertainment
-
JACK: (idly pitchin' stones)
For what it's worth.
-
Ennis: You an' Lureen, . . . it's normal an' all?
-
JACK:
Sure.
-
Ennis: And she don't ever suspect?
-
Ennis is washing dishes in the mountain stream. He glances sideways at Jack and continues speaking: You ever get the feeling, I don't know, when you're in town, and somebody looks at you, kind of suspicious...like he KNOWS? And then you get out on the street, and everyone is looking at you, like maybe they all know, too?
-
Jack remains thoughtful for a while,then he puts himself on foot and says:
-Well,maybe you ought to get out of there,you know?
Ennis looks at him,doubtful;Jack makes a gesture of pretended indifference:
-Find yourself someplace different,maybe Texas.
-
Ennis scoffs and says sarcastically: Texas? Sure. And, then maybe you'll convince Alma to let you and Lureen adopt my girls. Then we could ALL live together herding sheep and it'll just RAIN money from L.D. Newsome. And, whiskey will flow from the streams...
-
Jack: aw, go to hell, Ennis del mar. You wanna live your miserable fu**in life, go ahead. I was just thinkin out loud.
-
Ennis is squatting at the river's edge washing dishes. Jack turns and walks away from Ennis.
Ennis (still angry): You're a real thinker, ain't you? Yeah, Jack Twist, you got it all figured out, ain't you?
Ennis drops one of the plates he's washing. Ennis stands up and walks into the water to retrieve it as it begins to float away on the current.
-
New Scene, cowboy bar:
Ennis finishes his beer, gets up. Waitress grabs his hand:
CASSIE: Just finished my shift, . . . wanna dance?
ENNIS: Well, uh, I was just (points to the men's room) on my way to the . .
CASSIE: I'm Cassie, Cassie Cartwright.
ENNIS: Ennis . . . DelMar.

Ennis returns to the table, sits.
Ennis: No more dancin' for me... I hope..
-
Cassie: You're safe. My feet hurt.
-
Cassie and Ennis sit down opposite each other at a table. Cassie takes off her shoes and rubbing one of her feet. Ennis smiles at her.
Ennis: Hard work, is it?
-
Yeah, drunks like you demanding beer after beer, smoking. Gets tiresome.
-
Cassie: So... What do you do Ennis Del Mar?
-
Cassie puts her feet in Ennis's, ahem, lap.
ENNIS:
What a' you doin'?

-
Cassie: Trying to get a foot rub,dummy.
Ennis: Allright.(He begins to rub her foot).That's good?
Cassie:Huum.
-
New scene, the Childress Dance Hall.
LaShawn: Pledged Tri Delt a SMU and I sure never tought I'd end up in a pokey little place like Childress, but then I met Randall at an Aggie game, .......blah,blah,blah.......... Like it or not, here I am!
-
;D blah blah blah
Lureen: Oh you was Tri Delt? I was Kappa Phi myself.
-
Lashawn (dramatically): Well, even though we ain't quite sorority sisters, we my just have to dance with ourselves, Lureen! Our husbands ain't the least bit interested in dancing. They probably don't have a smidgin of rhythm between them.
*(I LOVE Lashawn! She totally cracks me up!) &**) BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH
-
Lureen: It's funny isn't it? Husbands don't never seem to want to dance with their wives.
Why do you think that is Jack?
-
Jack brushes cigarette ash off his shirt and refuses to meet Lureen's eyes as he says: Ain't never gave it any thought.
Jack then turns to Lashawn and says: Wanna dance?
-
Lashawn (a little surprised):Yes,thank you.
Jack(to Randall): Do you mind?
Randall:No it's allright.
Jack(repeats):Alright.
-
Jack makes eye contact with Randall then follows Lashawn to the dance floor as she just chatters away: Thank you for asking me to dance. I really appreciate that...I really do.
Lureen, sitting at the table, looks upset, rolls her eyes in Jack's direction and continues to smoke her cigarette.
Jack and Lashawn start to dance and she continues to just chatter away: It's a good think that you and Lureen happened along when you did or else we'd still be stuck on the side of the road in that darn old pick-up. I told Randall that we should take the car but he don't never listen to me. He wouldn't listen to me if he was going deaf tomorrow.
Lashawn laughs nervously and continues to chatter: I told Randall that it would take more than chewing gum and bailing wire to fix that pick-up.
Jack looks over Lashawn's shoulder at Randall as Lashawn continues to chatter: Well, he's never been very mechanical...
>:D :8 >:D :8 >:D :8 >:D :8 >:D :8 >:D :8 >:D :8 >:D :8 >:D :8 >:D :8 >:D :8 >:D :8 >:D :8 >:D :8 >:D :8
-
New scene outside the dance hall (finally), Jack an' Randall sittin' on a bench.
JACK:
Ever notice how a woman will powder her nose before she goes to a party,
then she'll powder it again once the party's over?
I mean, why powder your nose just to go home an' go to bed?
(some a Jacks most riveting dialog, here ;) )
-
Randall: Don't know.
Randall takes a puff of his cigarette: Even if I wanted to know I couldn't get a word in with Lashawn...woman talks a blue streak.
-
Jack: Lively little gal.
(A few seconds of silence,that Jack breaks):
You'll like working for Roy Taylor.He's solid,Roy.
Randall: Oh,yeah,Roy,he's a...He's a good old boy.
Another silence's seconds,that Randall breaks this time):
He's got a little cabin down on Lake Kemp.Got a croppie house,little boat.Said I could use it whenever I want.
-
Randall, not looking at Jack, continues speaking quietly: We ought to down there some weekend. Drink a little whiskey...fish some. Get away...you know?
Jack doesn't answer him but looks straight ahead and blinks his eyes rapidly.
-
We see Jack's surprised and a little anxious face while the two women are coming,of course speaking:
-LaShawn:And that was right out of SMU,I could've had my pick of pretty much any job in North Dallas,so my pick was Neiman Marcus...which was a desaster because,honey,where clothes is concerned...I got no resistance.I was spending more than I made.(bla,bla,bla).
The two men,a little uneasy,get up when the women are coming down the stairs.They don't say a word.
-
New scene: Alma Jr. is standing on the steps of the home she shares with her mother, sister and stepfather. Ennis drives up in in his truck. Cassie is sitting in the passenger seat.
Ennis: Hey there, Junior. You ready?
-
At the bar,
Cassie to Alma Jr. : What do you think? Is your daddy ever going to see fit to settle down again?
-
Alma Jr. stares at the table, not wanting to look Cassie in the eye: Don't know...maybe Daddy's not the marrying kind.
-
Cassie (looking disappointed) : You don't say much but you get your point across....
-
Alma, Jr. (looking embarrassed): Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude.
-
Ennis returns to the table,
Cassie to Ennis: C'mon cowboy you're stayin' on your feet.
-
New scene: Ennis driving his truck with Alma, Jr. riding in the passenger seat.
Ennis glances at Junior and says: So, I'll pick you and Jenny up next weekend after church...
-
Alma Jr.: Fine.
Ennis: You alright?
Alma Jr: Yes
Ennis: Sure?
-
Alma, Jr. licks her lips quickly and looks nervously at Ennis: Daddy, I was thinking. With the new baby, Mom and Monroe have been awful strict on me. More on me than on Jenny even.
Jr. continues: I was thinking, maybe I could, may I could come and stay with you, Daddy. I'd be an awful big help to you, I know I would.
-
Ennis:(Sighs deeply, stops the car in front of Almas' Jr. house then says,stressed and even not looking at her) :
Now honey, you know I ain't really set up for that. And with the round up coming, I won't ever be home.....
Alma Jr. (sad and with resignation): It's all right, daddy...
Ennis: (looks at her) : Well, you know, I'm not sayin' I wouldn't....
-
Alma, Jr., opens the door of the truck and gets out. She looks sad and says: No, it's alright.
Ennis: See you next Sunday then
Junior: Bye
Ennis: Bye sweetheart.
Junior goes into the house. Ennis drives away
-
Next scene: Ennis and Jack sitting at the campfire by the lake, it's night.
Jack: It's gonna snow tonight for sure. looks at Ennis
All this time, and you ain't found nobody else to marry?
-
Ennis: I been putting the blocks to a good looking little gal over in Riverton. Waitress. Wants to go to nursing school.
Ennis shrugs and mumbles: I don't know... What about you and Lureen?
-
Jack: Lureen's good at making hard deals in the machinery business, but as far as our marriage is concerned, we could do it over the phone.
I kinda got a thing goin' with a ranch foreman's wife over in Childress. Expect to get shot by Lureen or the husband one, ever' time I slip off to see her... chuckles
-
Ennis, laughing, too, replies: Yeah, you probably deserve it.
-
Jack smiles at Ennis then he get's serious and melancholic,
Jack: Tell you what.....the truth is..........sometimes I miss you so much I can hardly stand it.
I can't believe I got this line to recital... sigh.. :\'(
-
Ennis gives Jack a sad little smile and looks at the fire.
New scene: Later that night in the tent. Jack is asleep on his right side. Ennis is spooned up behind Jack with his left arm around Jack.
New scene: The next morning. Jack and Ennis are loading their trucks, preparing to leave. Jack and Ennis are standing near Jack's truck.
Jack: Guess I'll head on up to Lighting Flat...see the folks for a day or two?
-
ENNIS: (uncomfortable,says, not looking at Jack and rubs the cars' handle) Somethin' I been meanin' to tell you, bud. It's likely November before I can get away again, after we ship stock and before the winter feedin' starts. (biting his nails looks at Jack)
-
Jack: (surprised) November? What the hell happened to August? (now angry) Christ, Ennis! You had a whole f**cking week to say some little word about this.
-
JACK: And why's it we're always in the friggin' cold weather? We oughta go south, where it's warm. We oughta go to Mexico.
-
Jack walks away from his truck and stands with his back to Ennis.
Ennis: Mexico? Hell, you know me, Jack...'bout all the travelling I ever done is going around the coffeepot, looking for the handle.
Ennis continues: Lighten up on me, Jack. We can hunt in November, kill us a nice elk. Try if I can get Don Wroe's cabin again...we had a nice time that year, didn't we?
-
Jack: There aint never enough time...never enough...
-
Jack turns and looks at Ennis and says agitatedly: You know, Friend, this is a godd*mn b*tch of an unsatisfactory situation. You used to come away easy...NOW it's like seeing The Pope!
-
Ennis shrugs his shoulders and says:
-Jack,I got to work,huh?.I mean,in them earlier days,I'd just quit the job.I mean,you...You forget what it's like being broke all the time.
-
Ennis: (continues)Let me tell you, I can't quit this one. And I can't get the time off.
Was tough enough gettin' this time. The trade off was August.
Ennis:(frustrated that Jack ain't buying it) You got a better idea?
JACK: (bitter, accusatory) I did, once....
-
Jack is angry and now facing Ennis.
Ennis: (quietly) You did once.
Ennis begins to walk SLOWLY toward Jack. He looks Jack in the eye while speaking slowly and carefully: You been to Mexico, Jack? Cause I heard what they got in Mexico for boys like you.
-
Jack (defiantly):Hell yeah, I been in Mexico... Is that a f***in problem??
-
They look at each other defiantly for some instants.Ennis gets closer to Jack and tells him in a threatening way:
-I'm going to tell you this one time,Jack !@#$ Twist.And I ain't fooling.What I don't know...All them things that I don't know...-he pushes Jack by saying that-could get you killed if I get to know them.I ain't joking.
-
JACK:
Yeah, Well try this one, an' I'll say it just once.
ENNIS:
Go ahead!
-
Jack: Tell you what...we coulda had a good life together...a f!@#ing real good life, had us a place of our own.
-
Jack: (continues with an accusatory voice...his back to Ennis)
But you didn't want it Ennis! So so all we've got now is Brokeback Mountain!
Everything's built on that! That's all we got, boy, fu**in' all. So I hope you know that, even if you don't never know the rest!
-
ENNIS: (turns towards the truck and mutters something only the horses can understand)
(https://ennisjack.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi139.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fq313%2Fjackster545%2FEJfight.jpg&hash=594ace85f4b7113f2e360658a4ba6e598da6aaaa)
JACK: (still shouting at Ennis)
You count the damn few times that we've been together in nearly twenty years, and you measure the short f**kin' leash you keep me on, an' then you ask me 'bout Mexico an' you tell me you kill me for needin' something that I don't hardly never get.
-
Jack: You have no idea how bad it gets!!!!I'm not like you I can't make it in a couple of high altitude f*cks once or twice a year..You're too much for me Ennis, you son of a whoreson bitch.
I wish I knew how to quit you...
............
( I'm a wreck right now... :\'( )
-
ENNIS: (turning back to Jack with tears in his eyes, but accusation in his voice)
Then why don't you?
Why don't you just let me be, huh?
'Cause a' you Jack - that I'm like this.
I'm nuthin' . . . I'm nowhere . . .
argh . . .
-
Ennis is crying and Jack,then,go back to him,noddling his head and tying to embrace him.
-Ennis...
-Get the f*** off me ¡
He pushes Jack who,however,tries again to embrace him.Ennis runs down in his arms while Jack comfort him.
-It's allright...(Ennis is crying desperately)Goddamn,Ennis.
-I just can't stand this anymore,Jack...
-
Flashback Brokeback Mountain 1963
The dozy embrace scene:
Ennis hugs Jack from behind and says:
And now you're sleepin' on your feet like a horse..
My mama used to sing that to me when I was little . . . hums....
-
Ennis: and sing to me...
Ennis starts humming a lullaby while nuzzling Jack's neck.
-
ENNIS:
I gotta' go.
(Jack nods)
See ya' in the mornin'.
(Ennis slowly walks away, mounts his horse, rides off)
(Jack watches him ride-off with longing and love in his eyes)

-
Flashforward to 1983.
Jack is standing by his truck watching Ennis drive away.
-
New scene, diner in Riverton, Ennis is eating a piece of pie, when Cassie walks into the diner with a man,
she notices Ennis and with a bitter expression on her face approaches his table.
Cassie: Hey, Ennis del Mar...where you been?
-
ENNIS: (not even lookin' up from his pie)
Here n' there.
-
Cassie looks at Ennis for a long moment then says quietly: I left word for you with Steve at the ranch. And, you must have gotten those notes I left at your place?
-
Ennis looks past Cassie at Carl: Looks like I got the message in any case.
-
Cassie briefly glances over her shoulder at Carl and says to Ennis: What? Carl? Yeah, Carl's nice...he even talks.
-
Ennis: Well good for you...
-
Cassie: (eyes full of tears) Yeah, ....good for me...I don't get you Ennis Del Mar.
-
Ennis looks at her sadly.
-I'm sorry.(she's crying now).I was probably no fun anyways,was I?
-Ennis,girls don't fall in love with fun.
She runs away crying,while Ennis remains alone,with a sad expression in his face.
-
New scene: Outside view of Riverton Post Office
Ennis walks at a casual slow pace out of the post office. He has a pile of mail in his hand. He removes the rubber band from around the mail and begins to sort through the mail.
He separates one piece of mail from the pile. It is a postcard with his handwriting on it. It is the postcard he sent to Jack saying that November still looked like the first chance he would be able to meet him again. Ennis turns the postcard over and suddenly STOPS WALKING in the middle of the street and just stands there staring at the postcard in his hand.
Stamped on the front of the postcard across Jack's address is: DECEASED
-
New scene: phone ringing is picked up by Lureen: Hello?
Ennis: Hello, this is, uh, Ennis del Mar, uh...
Lureen: Who? Who is this?
Ennis: Ennis del Mar. I'm an old buddy of Jack"s..
-
Lureen: I know you... You're the huntin' buddy or fishin' buddy... I know that...
-
Lureen:-Would've let you know what happened,but...I wasn't sure about your name or address.Jack kept his friends' addresses in his head.
-
Ennis, numb with shock says: that's why I'm calling...to see what happened.
-
Lureen (in a low voice); Oh yeah...
(then as if reciting from a script); Jack was pumping up a flat on the truck out on a back road when the tire blew up. The rim of the tire slammed into his face, broke his nose and jaw and knocked him unconscious on his back. By the time someone come along and found him he drowned in his own blood...
-
Lureen (continues):
. . . he was only thirty-nine years old.
(we see a vivid cut of Ennis's imagination - Jack being beaten with tire iron)
(Ennis is choked, can't speak)
Hello, . . . . Hello, . . . . . Hello?
-
Ennis, fighting back tears, says: Is he buried down there?
-
LUREEN: (With voice cold as ice)
We put a stone up. He was cremated, like he wanted, and half his ashes was interred here. The rest I sent up with his folks. He used to say he wanted his ashes scattered on Brokeback Mountain, but I wasn't sure where that was. I thought Brokeback Mountain might be around where he grew up. But knowing Jack, it might be some pretend place where the bluebirds sing and there's a whiskey spring.
-
ENNIS: (mumbles into the phone)
No, ma'am, we . . . we wus herding sheep on Brokeback one summer . . . back in '63.
-
Lureen: Ummmm.... Well, he said it was his favorite place. I thought he meant "to get drunk. He drank a lot...
-
ENNIS: (struggling to speak)
Is his folks still . . . up in Lightin' Flat?
-
Lureen: They'll be there till the day they die.
-
ENNIS: (still struggling to speak)
I thank you for your time.
I sure am sorry.
We wus good friends . . .
-
-Lureen: Get in touch with his folks.I suppose they'd appreciate it if his wishes was carried out.About the ashes,I mean.
(She hangs up the phone.).
-
Lureen:(Probably realizing now the true relationship between her husband and Ennis, with tears in her eyes and a icy cold voice )
Get in touch with his folks.I suppose they´d appreciate it if his wishes was carried out.About the ashes,I mean...
(She hangs up the phone)
Ennis, hears the click of the phone, still in shock, looks with disbelieve on the headphone and hangs up as well....

New scene: Twist Ranch, Lightning Flat, Wyoming
Ennis drives his pick-up truck onto the Twist Ranch and parks near a barn. Ennis gets out of the truck and walks toward the Twist house. Mrs. Twist comes out of the house and stands near the door waiting for Ennis.
-
Inside the Twist house: Ennis and Jack's father sit at the kitchen table while Jack's mother is in the kitchen making coffee. She comes out and says to Ennis: Want a cup of coffee, don't you? Piece of cherry cake?
-
ENNIS: (very softly)
Yes ma'am, I'll have a cup a coffee, . . but ah, . . I can't eat no cake just now. Thankyou.
-
Jack's mother goes back to the kitchen to get the coffee.
Ennis: I feel awful bad about Jack...(Jack's mother sets cup of coffee on table and remains standing near Ennis)...thank you.
Ennis continues: I can't begin to tell you how bad I feel. I knew him a long time. I come by to say that if you want me to take his ashes up there on Brokeback...like his wife said he wanted to...then I'd be happy to.
-
Jack's father spits in his cup
Tell you what. I know where Brokeback Mountain is.
^*) ^*)
-
John Twist continues:
He thought he was too goddamn special to be buried in the family plot.
-
OMT keep on talking:-Jack used to say,"Ennis del Mar"he used to say."I'm going to bring him up here on of these days adn we'll lick this damn ranch into shape."
-
John Twist continues: He had some half-baked notion the two of you was going to move up here, build a cabin, help run the place.
John gives Ennis a long cold glance and goes on: Then this spring he's got another fellow that's going to come up here with him, build a cabin and help run the place. Some ranch neighbor of his from down in Texas...he's going to split up with his wife and come back here. A pause, then sarcastically: So he says. But like most of Jack's ideas, it never come to pass.
-
(Ennis looks stricken)
JACK'S MA': (trying to comfort Ennis)
I kept his room . . . like it was when he was a boy.
I think he appreciated that.
You are welcome to go up to his room . . . if ya' want.
ENNIS: (softly)
Yeah I'd like that, Thankyou.
(https://ennisjack.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi139.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fq313%2Fjackster545%2FEnnishand.jpg&hash=ab4f0334db9b4355299cf9e7374d127b8f38c263)
-
Ennis goes up the stairs and enters into Jack's room.He takes a look of the full room first to take a little cowboy figure in his hands.His eyes are full with tears.He opens the window,as wishing that some fresh air enters into the room and makes him feel a little less drowned...Then,he realises Jack's wardrobe and goes there;he looks and caresses his clothings and boots.Suddenly,he finds the shirts:his and Jack's of the happy times in BBM.He hugs and caresses Jack's shirt and a slight "I love you" comes from his lips. :\'(
-
Ennis, carrying the two shirts, goes downstairs and enters the kitchen. John Twist is still sitting at the kitchen table. Ennis turns his body slightly to keep John Twist from seeing the two shirts, but holds them up slightly to show them to Mrs. Twist. Mrs Twist pulls a paper bag from the counter and puts the two shirts into the bag.
John Twist (cold and angry): Tell you what, we got a family plot and he's going in it.
Mrs Twist, with her back to her husband, gently hands the bag to Ennis.
-
Ennis (resigned to this fact), nods at OMT: Yes sir.
Ma Twist (with sympathy): You come back and see us again.
-
ENNIS: (can barely speak, nods his head, says softly)
OK.
(Ennis exits the door, turns, holding the bag of shirts and whispers to Mrs. Twist)
Thank you for everything.
-
Next scene: We see Ennis putting some numbers in his letter box,when Junior arrives in her new car.
Ennis:-Well,hey there,Junior.
Jr.:-Hey,Daddy.
Ennis:-Come here.(They kiis and hug each other).
-
Alma Jr. :Like the car?
Ennis:(nods)
Ugh, yeah, is it yours?
-
Alma Jr.: It's Kurt's.
-
ENNIS:
I thought you'r seein' . a . Troy.
-
Alma Jr: (Surprised) Troy?... Daddy that was 2 years ago!
-
Ennis: Is Troy still playin' baseball?
Alma Jr: I don't know what Troy's doin' now. I'm seein' Kurt.
-
Ennis-Well,what does Kurt do?
Jr.-Works out in the oil fields.
Ennis-So,he's a roughneck,huh?
Jr.-Yeah.
-
Ennis and Jr. walk slowly toward his trailer.
Ennis: Well, you're 19 now...I guess you can do what you want.
Ennis playfully nudges Jr. with his shoulder to her shoulder.
-
Jr: Sure.
Ennis and Jr go into the trailer.
Jr sits down and takes her jacket off while Ennis gets coffee.
Jr: Daddy you need more furniture.
-
Ennis: well, if you ain't got nothin, you dont need nothin.
-
Junior is sitting on Ennis' bed. Ennis hands her a cup then sits in an armless chair facing her.
Ennis (cheerfully): So, what's the occasion?
-
ALMA JR. :Me and Kurt...we're getting married .
-
ENNIS: (his face darkens, utters an undecipherable expression of concern)
Wellngh . . . .
Well how long ya' known this guy for?
-
Alma Jr: About a year. The wedding 'll be June 5th at the Methodist church... Jenny 'll be singin',... and Monroe's gonna cater the reception...
-
Ennis remains thoughtful,with a sad look in his eyes.Then,he says:
-Now,this Kurt fella...he loves you?
Jr.-Yeah,daddy-she smiles-He loves me.
Ennis looks outside the trailer.He seems at the verge of crying.Jr. keeps on talking:
-Was hoping you'd be there.
-
Ennis: Yeah....I think I'm supposed to be on a round-up near the Tetons...
(pauses, thinks, gets up, goes to the fridge)
You know what, I reckon they can find themselves a new cowboy.
-
Ennis takes two glasses from the cabinet and pours a little whiskey (or wine?) in each of them.
Ennis: MY LITTLE GIRL is getting married. Alma Junior smiles at Ennis with love in her eyes.
He walks back over to Jr. and hands her a glass, then sits back down in the chair.
Ennis raises his glass: To Alma and Kurt!
-
Alma Jr and Ennis clink their glasses together and take a drink.
New scene: Ennis stands outside and watches as Alma Jr drives off down the dusty road.
He turns around and goes back inside the trailer
-
Ennis walks slowly toward the back of his trailer. He sees Alma Jr.'s sweater on his bed. Ennis picks up the sweater and walks quickly to the door. He opens the door and looks out, but Alma Jr. is gone.
He goes to his little closet, and opens the closet door. He folds Jr.'s sweater, gives it a little kiss and places it on the top shelf of the closet.
-
As he opens the closet door wider, we see THE SHIRTS, on a wire hanger suspended from a nail. Next to them is a postcard of BBM tacked to the door. Ennis has taken his shirt from inside Jack's and tucked Jack's shirt inside his own.
-
Ennis gently touches THE SHIRTS. He buttons the top button on Jack's shirt. Ennis then reaches up and gently straightens the postcard.
With tears in his eyes, Ennis says quietly: Jack, I swear...
Ennis stands looking at the shirts and the postcard for a few seconds longer, then slowly closes the closet door and walks away.
-
Sorry....but :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'(

Be kind , rewind... to the very beginning...
-------------------------------------------
Truck stops and young Ennis jumps out put his jacket on, walks towards Aguirre's trailer.
1963, Signal, Wyoming
Train passes............
-
Ennis puts out a half smoked cigarette and puts it in his pocket. The train that has just passed sounds it horn, and then we hear a truck backfiring, gears grinding, as it comes towards Aguirre's trailer. Driving the truck is Jack...he pulls up near the trailer and puts on the handbrake. The rear wheels turn once more. Jack gets out of the truck, kicks the rear tire, says "sh*t".
-
(scene with no dialogue)
Jack looks at the truck disgustedly.
Then turns, spies Ennis standing by the door, takes a few steps towards him, watches him for a few seconds.
Ennis shuffles, looks down, not acknowledging Jack presence.
Jack looks away to the distance, walks back to his truck.
Leans provocatively against the truck still watching Ennis.
-
Jack bows his head...
(Break in the scene)
We see Jack shaving with the aid of the rear-view mirror... He hears the sound of a truck approaching...
-
An old station wagon stops about two feet from the steps of the trailer,Ennis jumps up to get out of the way.
Aguire: If you pair of deuces are lookin' for a job, I suggest you get your scrawny asses here, pronto.
-
The boys enter Aguirre's trailer office.
Jack stands erect, feet apart, chest up, hands in his jeans pockets.
Ennis leans casually against the wall, (in a classic Contrapposto stance) hat in hand.
AGUIRRE begins:
Up on Brokeback the Forest Service' got designated campsites on the allotments . . . .
-
Aguirre continues: Them camps can be three, four miles from where we pasture the woolies. Bad predator loss if there's nobody looking after them at night. Aguirre pauses and looks at Jack and Ennis. Now what I want, looking at Ennis, is the CAMP TENDER in the main camp where the Forest Services says, but the HERDER, Aguirre nods his head at Jack, he's gonna pitch a pup tent on the Q.T. with the sheep, and he's gonna SLEEP there. You eat your supper and breakfast in camp, but you SLEEP with the sheep. One hundred per cent! NO FIRE. DON'T LEAVE NO SIGN. You roll up that tent every morning in case Forest Service comes snooping around.
-
Aguirre is interruped by the ringing of the phone...
Aguirre: Yeah? No. No! Not on your f*ckin' life!
He bangs the phone down..
All this time, Ennis and Jack look at the other while the other is not looking...
-
Aguirre starts in again at the boys, pointing at and looking Jack in the eye:
You got your dogs, your 30/30, you sleep there,
Last summer I had goddamn near 25% loss, I don't want that again. . .
-
Aguirre:
You (points at Ennis).. Fridays at noon be down at the bridge with your grocery list and mules, somebody with supplies will be there at the pickup. (throws a hand watch towards Ennis)
Tomorrow mornin' we'll truck you up to the jump off.
Aguirre sits at the table lights a cigarette picks up the phone... pauses... looks angrily at Ennis and Jack.
(can I say it here??...fu*ck Aguirre.... ;) )
-
Jack and Ennis leave the trailer, pause on the stairs.
Jack immediately lights up a cigarette, Ennis plays with the watch.
Jack turns, looks at Ennis, extends his hand:
JACK: Jack Twist
-
Ennis shakes Jack's hand, and replies : Ennis.
BTW: I like the sign on the door of Aquirre's trailer 'Trespassers will be shot, survivors will be shot again' :)....
-
Jack: Your folks stop at Ennis?
-
Ennis continues to fumble with the watch, not looking at Jack . . .
"Del Mar"

-
Ennis is standing on the ground looking at the watch in his hand. Jack is standing on the steps next to him, so he has to look down to see Ennis' face. Jack leans down a little and makes an effort to catch Ennis' eye.
Jack: Nice to meet you, Ennis del Mar.
-
New scene, in the bar.
JACK (taking a swig from his beer): My second year up here. Last year a lightnin' storm killed 42 sheep - thought I'd asphyxiate from the smell. 'Course Aguirre got all over my back like I'm supposed to control the weather. Still, beats workin' for my old man - can't please my old man, no way. Why I took to rodeoin'. You ever rodeo?
-
Ennis: you know, uh...once in a while, when I got the entry fee in my pocket.
-
JACK (nods): You from ranch people?
-
Ennis: Yeah. I was.
-
Jack glances sideways at Ennis, taking in his worn clothing and spare clothes in a paper sack and says slowly: Your folks run you off?
-
Ennis replies: No, they run themselves off...there was only one curve on the road in 43 miles, and they miss it. The bank took the ranch, and my brother and sister, they raised me mostly.
-
Jack looks slightly stunned, sorry he asked:
JACK: Shit. . . . That's hard.
Ennis tries to break the mood, reaches for the unsmoked half a cig in his pocket and gestures to Jack for his lighter.
ENNIS: Can I? . . . . thank you
-
New Scene. At the Jump Off. The Chilean responsible for supplies talks with Ennis:
Chilean: One thing: don't ever order soup. Them soup boxes are hard to pack.
-
Ennis is checking his new horse's saddle. He has his back to the Chilean as he replies quickly: Don't eat soup.
-
ENNIS: (watching Jack trying to control his horse)
You wanta' watch it there, that horse has a low startle point.
-
Jack (as he gets his horse under control): I doubt there's a filly that could throw me. Let's git unless you wanna stand around tyin' knots all day.
-

Camp scene up on BBM. Ennis is cooking as Jack arrives.
Jack: Oh sh*t! Can't wait till I got my own spread and won't have to put up with Joe Aguirre's crap no more.
-
Ennis: I'm saving for a place myself. Me and Alma, we'll be getting married when I come down off this mountain.
-
Jack (shaking his head): That stay with the sheep no fire bullsh*t...Aguirre's got no right makin' us do somethin' against the rules.
-
(another important scene with no dialogue)
Jack mounts his horse to go back to the sheep, but the horse bucks and snorts a little while Jack struggles to control the filly . . . .
Meanwhile Ennis, who's been cleaning up the dishes, watches the whole thing.
Jack give's an embarrassed glance at Ennis.
Ennis watches Jack ride off . . . .

-
Jack is with the sheep and dogs having a nap, while Ennis down in camp whittles a little wood horse looks up to the sky...
Next scene:
Ennis cleans up the campfire from a meal, Jack is on his horse preparing to ride back to the sheep,
shouts back to Ennis as he rides off:
No more beans! :)

Jack: Damn it!
-
New scene:
Ennis is down at the bridge getting his supplies, finishes packing the mules, steps back, looks at the mules and shakes his head.
Basque: Something wrong?
Ennis: Yes sir...why didn't we get the powdered milk and the spuds?
Basque: That's all we got.
-
Ennis: Here's next week's...
-
The chilean looks at the list and says:
-Thought you didn't eat soup.
Ennis:-Yeah,well,I'm sick of beans.
Chilean:-Too early in the summer to be sick of beans.
-
Ennis grabs the mules' reins, gives the Chilean a dirty look,
heads back to camp after instructing the mules . . . .
ENNIS: Come On!
Ennis heads back up the mountain enjoying the scenery,
being horseback, humming to himself . . .
-
New scene: Ennis is riding his horse and leading two mules. He comes to a clearing which has a small stream. On the far bank of the stream is a bear looking for fish. The bear growls loudly at Ennis. The sight and sound of the bear scares Ennis' horse. The horse rears up and throws Ennis. The horse and mules run away from the bear (and Ennis). The running causes the packs on the mules to come off and food is scattered all over the trail. Ennis, with blood on his forehead, goes chasing after the horse and mules.
Ennis (angrily): Come back here...
-
New Scene. Jack is seen riding back to camp at the end of the day. He remains on the saddle as he scans around looking for Ennis. There is a worried and puzzled expression on his face even as he dismounts...
-
Jack, sitting next to the bonfire and drinking whiskey, finely Ennis arrives groaning and in bad humor.
JACK (in full on bitch mode): Where the hell you been? I'm up with the sheep all day, come back here hungry as hell and all I find is beans.
Ennis storms past him and Jack catches sight of the cut on his head. His tone softens and he continues,
What in the hell happened, Ennis?
-
Ennis: I come on a bear is what happened... Goddamn horse spooked and the mules took off, and scattered food everywhere. Beans is about all we got left. ... Got a whiskey or somethin'? ... Dumbass mule...
-
Jack dips his bandana in a pot of water then goes to tend to the cut on Ennis's head. Ennis grabs the bandana away from him and does it himself...but their fingers touch for a brief second before he does.
Jack: Well, we gotta do somethin' 'bout this food situation. Maybe I'll shoot one a the sheep.
-
Ennis: What if Aguirre finds out, huh? We're supposed to guard the sheep, not eat 'em.
-
Jack: What's the matter with you? There's a thousand of them...
-
ENNIS:
I'll stick with beans . . .
-
Jack: Well I won't....
-

-
Jack continues: I come in for breakfast, I go back to the sheep, evenin' get 'em bedded down, come in for supper, go back to the sheep, spend half the night checkin' for damn coyotes. Aguirre got no right makin' me do this...
-
Ennis: Ya wanna switch? I wouldn't mind sleepin' out there...
-
JACK:

Point is, we Both oughtta' be in this camp.
Goddamn pup tent smells like cat piss or worse.
-
Ennis: I wouldn't mind being out there...
-
Jack: Well I'm happy to switch but I warn you...I can't cook worth a damn...But I'm pretty good with a can opener...
-
Ennis: Can't be no worse than me, then.
-
Ennis: (Handing Jack his dinner) Here ya go!
-
new scene, later after supper.
Ennis is preparing to mount his horse,
Jack walks up looking pretty morose that his plan for both spending the night in camp has come to naught.
Looks at Ennis . . .

ENNIS: Yup.
(then to his horse) Come on . . .
(begins his journey to the sheep)
Jack for the first (but not the last) time watches as Ennis rides slowly away . . .
-
The "can of beans" scene. ;)
As jack was trying to open a can of beans... Ennis undresses...
ENNIS Shot a coyote up there... Big son of a bitch... balls the size of apples.... Looked like he could eat himself a camel... You want some of this hot water?
-
Jack, spilling the beans,says: No it's all yours.
Jack studiously keeps his eyes on the potato he is peeling as Ennis, totally naked, washes himself in the background.
-
Yet another, ahem, riveting scene with absolutely no dialogue . . . .
(https://ennisjack.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi139.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fq313%2Fjackster545%2FJack-wEnnis-washing.jpg&hash=ee1a40beb3ffbb90e254ea8e37a7c4223b4a026d)
-
Next scene:
Jack, shows Ennis his rodeo belt buckle. Ennis is eating a can of beans.
Ennis:Hmm. . .Don’t rodeo much myself.
I mean what’s the point of ridin’ some piece a’ stock for eight seconds?
-
Jack: Money's a good point.
(... sits back down next to Ennis and takes the bottle )
-
Ennis, still eating from his can of beans, replies: Sure enough...if you don't get stomped winning it...huh?
-
..... ( Jack kinda' laughs )
..... my old man, he´s a bull rider, ( pours a little whiskey in Ennis' cup ), pretty well known in his day, though he kept his secrets to himself...... never taught me a thing, never once come'a see me ride...... ( takes another sip of whiskey ).....
-
Jack continues...
Jack: Your brother and sister do right by you?
-
ENNIS:
They did the best they could after my folks wus gone . . . .
Considerin' they didn't leave us nuthin' but twentyfour dollars in a coffee can . . .
-

-
While Ennis is talking ,Jack looks at him and a little smirk appears on his face,
Ennis noticing his reaction to his story, asks : Whut?
JACK (still smiling): That's more words than you've spoke in the past two weeks.... :)
-
hell, that´s the most i spoke in a year.
-
ENNIS: (continues after a pause)
My dad he , he was a fine roper, didn't rodeo much,
he thought rodeo cowboys wus all f**kups.
gives Jack a sly look, . . . seein' if can get a rise

-
Jack, smiling, takes the bait: THE HELL THEY ARE!
-
ENNIS: (see's he's got Jack on the hook, plays him along nice an' slow)
Ungh, . . . Well . . .
-
Ennis is sitting on a log in front of the campfire.
Jack jumps up and pretends to be be riding a bull while he yells: Yee haw! I'm spurring his guts out! I'm waving to the girls in the stands! He's kicking to high heaven, but he can't jackboard ME! NO WAY! Yee haw!
Jack stumbles and falls among some supplies. Ennis just laughs.
-
ENNIS: (smilin' and laughin' as he watches Jack fall over himself in the pile of supplies)
I think my dad wus right . .
-
(After a few scenes of Jack and Ennis leading the sheep through the mountains and setting up the camp site...... jack is laying back playing the harmonica,.....Ennis looking at the pup tent......)
Ennis : ..... 'tent don´t look right...
-
Jack: Well it ain't going nowhere leave it be.
-
Ennis: .... tha' harmonica don't sound quite right either.....
-
Jack: That's 'cause it got kind of flattened when that mare threw me...
-
Ennis: I thought you said that mare couldn't throw you..
-
Jack: Well...she got LUCKY...
-
Ennis: ....uugh... if I wus lucky tha'harmonica would've broke in two...... (Jack laughs)
-
After he is satisfied that the tent is standing in the right position, Ennis sits on the log by the fire trying to warm his hands .
ENNIS: Yeah, well, if I'd got lucky that harmonica would've broken too.
Jack laughs...
-
New scene. In the main camp. Ennis and Jack are drinking.
Jack (singing, as Ennis tries to beat the rhythm in the end): I know I shall meet you on that final day | Water Walkin' Jesus, take me awayyyyyyy . . .
-
Ennis : ..... very good !...
-
Jack laughs, says: Hey...
Ennis passes the whiskey bottle to Jack. Jack continues: My mama, she believes in the Pentecost.
-
ENNIS: (passes the bottle back to Jack and casually pokes the fire with a stick)
Oh, yeah . . .?
Whut exactly is the pentacost?
I mean, . . . my folks they, they wus Methodists.
-
Jack : Pentecost....... I don't know, I don't know what the pentecost is..... mam never explained to me,..... I guess it's... when the world ends'n.... fellows like you and me march off to hell....
-
Ennis: speak for yourself...you may be a sinner, but I aint yet had the opportunity
(Ennis, you are such a flirt x***x)
-
Jack, looking at Ennis, hands him the whiskey bottle, says: Mmmm.. (and chuckles).
Ennis: Thank you.
-
Later, Ennis is dizzy drunk, on all fours, and struggles to stand
Ennis: Shit..I'm goin up to the sheep now
-
JACK:
Give ‘em hell . . .
-
Ennis, too drunk to even stand: You know what? I reckon it's too late to go up to the sheep...
-
Ennis (who is such a cute drunk): you got an extra blanket, I'll roll up out here and grab forty winks, ride out at first light.
-
Jack goes to the tent and brings out a blanket: You'll freeze your ass off when that fire dies down.
-
ENNIS: Oh . . . that's good. .
JACK: You're better off sleepin' in the tent . . . (keep tryin' Jack . . ^-^)
ENNIS: na . . yeah . .
-
Ennis, outside, shivers. Jack wakes up.
Jack Ennis
Ennis: what?
Jack: quit your hammerin and get in here
-
Ennis slowly gets up and stumbles drunkenly toward the tent. :clap:
-
Shivering, Ennis enters the tent, lies down, and both fall asleep.
-
..... full moon over the clouds..... ( inside of the dimly lit tent ) Jack, awake, rolls down the covers, searches for Ennis' hand and guides it down towards his own groin......... in a second, Ennis realizes what's going on, and jerks his hand away like lightning........ violently rises, and so does Jack,....... they freeze.... look at each other...... jack starts pulling off his jacket...... ( Ennis mumbles something I just don't understand )..... full of tension, they hold each other....... face against face........ and continue loosening their clothes....... sound of belt buckles,..... hard intakes of breath,.........Ennis violently turns Jack around and puts him on all fours....... he doesn´t resist....... Ennis spits in his hand and puts it on himself............ sharp breaths sounds........ tension....... some punches..... a painful breath exhalation ( from Jack, I suppose).......... the standing tent in the dark....... silence........
-
Early next dawn, Ennis wakes with a splitting headache, sees Jack layin' next to him. Looks out of the tent at the rushing stream and mountain. Hitches up his pants, grabs his hat, heads out to his horse.
Jack comes staggering out of the tent as Ennis prepares to mount. Ennis mounts (his horse ^-^).
JACK: See ya' fur supper.
Ennis looks down at Jack, sayin' not a goddamn word, grabs the reins, instructs his horse . . .
ENNIS: Hey-ah, come on . . .
Jack watches him gallop off.
-
Ennis rides up through the mountains to the sheep.......... the flock is grazing..... then he notices something (dogs barking) and hurries galloping towards it....... to discover it's a dead sheep half eaten up by the coyotes....... sad look on his face when looking at it (... or may be ashamed for not having been there to avoid it).....
-
Later, Jack waits for Ennis by the grazing sheep. Ennis walks up, and sits down.
Ennis: this is a one shot thing we got goin on here
-
Jack: It's nobody's business but ours.
-
Ennis : ..... you know I ain't queer.......
-
Jack: me neither
-
( Next scene ) :
...... it's dark,..... Ennis sits thoughtful looking at the fire..... the tent in the background...... Jack's in it getting ready to crash out....... Ennis looks at the tent.... hesitates..... slowly stands up and goes towards it.......
-
Jack (already in the tent), sits up at Ennis's arrival, waits for Ennis to come in and places his hand gently on Ennis's arm, takes his hat away and strokes Ennis's face, pulling him into their first kiss.... <^( <^( <^(

-
Words so softly spoken it's difficult to know who really says them, and what they are, but the meaning is unmistakable.
I'm sorry . . . .
JACK:
It's alright . . .
It's alright . . . .
Come on, lay back . . .

-
New Scene. We seem to see Ennis and Jack goofing off in the morning in the main camp. They chase each other around, wrestle a bit with each other, and end up kissing.
We realize that we are seeing everything through Aguirre's binoculars. He looks away in distaste...
-
Next scene :
.... Jack is chopping wood while Aguirre approaches on his horse...... Jack notices him....
Aguirre : Twist, your uncle Harold's in the hospital with pneumonia, docs don't spect he'll make it.....
...... your mom sent me to tell you so..... here I am.....
Jack : Bad news...... but ain't nothing I can do about it up here, I guess.....
Aguirre : ..... there's not much you can do about it down there neither... (he looks through his binoculars up to where Ennis is tending the sheep).... unless you can cure pneumonia.... (gives Jack a
nasty look, turns around his horse and leaves)
-
(10 days of recital has gone... :( )
New scene: Hailstorm, Jack and Ennis scramble to get in the tent before it gets worse.
Ennis: Them sheep'll drift if I don't get back up there tonight.
-
Jack, shouting to be heard above the storm: You'll get pitched off your mount in a storm like this and wish you hadn't tried..close it up!
-
(10 days of recital has gone... :( )
....... yeah, it's a shame,....... but we'll catch up...... O0
-
Next scene :
Jack and Ennis on their horses are looking at a huge flock of sheep down there, theirs all mixed together with the ones of another shepherds.......
Ennis : ... well, what're we supposed to do now, huh ?
-
Jack: Get on in there and untangle them Chilean sheep from ours I guess.
-
(I wondered for a minute why we were back on the mountain, then I remembered :-\\)
Jack (dragging a sheep out of the mixed group): Damn, half the goddam paint brands are wore off
-
Ennis: We gotta try...the least we can do is get the count right for Aguirre...
Jack, still dragging one of the sheep: F**k Aguirre!!!!
-
Ennis: Oh yeah, f*** Aguirre... What if we need to work for him again, huh? You think of that? We gotta stick this out, Jack!
-
......Jack doesn't say anything and continues dragging the sheep where their others are......
-
(here I go again with this scene....)
Later, Jack and Ennis's sheep move along the meadows of BBM. Jack is playing his harmonica...Ennis looks at Jack ( <^( <^( <^(), says: You'll run them sheep off again if you don't quiet down. Jack keeps playing....

-
And again:
New Scene. Ennis wakes up inside the pup tent. He is cold and blinded by glare coming from outside. He wraps a blanket around himself and goes outside to discover that it has been snowing. He moves around with a jumpy gait trying to keep warm...
-
New scene: Ennis on horseback, rides into camp for breakfast. Jack is taking down the tent. Ennis gets off his horse and walks over to Jack.
Ennis, looking puzzled: What are you doing?
-
Jack (as he disassembles the big tent): Aguirre came by again... Said my uncle didn't die after all.... Says bring 'em down...
-
Ennis, still puzzled: Bring 'em down? Why?...it's the middle of August...
-
Jack: he says there's another storm coming moving in from the pacific, worse than this one.
-
Ennis: Why that snow barely stuck an hour...besides that sonofabitch is cuttin' us out of a whole month's pay...it ain't right...
-
Jack : ... well, I can spare you a loan, bud, if you're short on cash,..... give it to you when we get to Signal.....
-
Ennis: I dont need your money, I aint in the poorhouse
-
Ennis turns and walks away, kicking at a patch of snow, curses: sh*t...
Jack carries on packing up the tent, replies: alright
Ennis sits down on a tree stump, picks up a piece of wood, scratches the ground with it, and then tosses it aside..
-
Some time has elapsed.
Jack has about finished packing and has secured the last of the baggage train. He spies Ennis sulking up on a hillside meadow not far from camp. His eyes are full of compassion. He takes his lasso and approaches Ennis.
Jack: Time to get goin', cowboy...
-
Ennis takes Jack's lasso off, stands up, and walks away, tucking in his shirt.
Jack swings his lasso on to the ground in front of Ennis who steps into it.
Jack pulls it tight causing Ennis to fall, says: there you go, and laughs.
Ennis pulls on the lasso, causing Jack to fall, replies: this ain't no rodeo, cowboy...
They begin to wrestle, Jack laughing, but Ennis more serious.
-
They begin to running down the hillside,in what is at the beginning like a game,but that increasily becames an atruggle.They are more and more angry.
-
Finally, Jack inadvertently elbows Ennis and draws blood from Ennis's nose. Jack comes close and wipes away the blood onto his shirt sleeves, saying:
Jack: Ennis... Ennis... Come 'ere... You OK?
-
..... Ennis deliberately punches Jack hard right in the face and he falls down,...... Ennis, wiping the blood from his nose, picks up his hat, while Jack is on the ground rubbing his head in pain.....
-
New Scene. We see Ennis and Jack bringing down the sheep. They are silent, and hardly look at each other. Ennis wears his spare shirt, and Jack sports the bruise that Ennis gave him. Both of them look contrite, although both remain silent...
-
New scene: The sheep are being corralled. Jack and Ennis lean against a wooden fence while the sheep are being counted. Joe Aquirre walks up to Jack and Ennis.
Aguirre (slowly): Some of these never went up there with you. (Long pause) The count ain't what I hoped for neither. You ranch stiffs ain't never no good...
-
Ennis and Jack remain silent. Aguirre walks away.
New Scene. Ennis helps Jack restart his truck.
Ennis (from under the hood): You wanna give it some gas?
The car restarts. Ennis closes the hood.
Ennis (looking though his bag): I can't believe I left my damn shirt up there...
-
Jack:-Yeah... You gonna do this again next summer?
Ennis : Well, maybe not! Like I said, me and Alma is getting married in November. So... I'll try to get something on a ranch, I guess. And you?
-
JACK: (Looking directly at Ennis, dying inside for a small scrap of emotional recognition.)
Might go up to my daddy's place, give 'em a hand through the winter.
I might be back . . . If the Army don't get me.
ENNIS: (Barely able to look Jack in the eye, conflicting emotions clawing at his gut.)
Well, I guess I'll see ya' 'round, huh?
JACK:
Right.
Ennis walks away, Jack drives off watching the lone figure of Ennis in the rearview mirror.
They won't see each other for more than four years.
-
Ennis continues walking as Jack's truck disappears into the distance. Suddenly, Ennis looks as if he will be sick. He falls into an alley and experiences dry heaves. He punches the wall and cries.
Ennis: God damn, God... (he whimpers)
A passing cowboy notices Ennis and is about to approach him when Ennis turns and says to him:
Ennis: What the f**k are you lookin' at, huh?
The cowboy moves on, leaving Ennis to fend for himself.
-
New scene: Ennis and Alma standing in front of a Preacher on their Wedding Day. Ennis looks nervous and Alma looks happy.
The congregation is saying The Lord's Prayer: and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
-
Minister: Under the powers vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss your bride...
minister adds in a joking manner: and if you don't I will.
The congregation all chuckle. Ennis and Alma smile and kiss one another gently, Ennis carressing Alma's cheek with his thumb.
-
New scene: Ennis and Alma are riding a toboggan down a snowy hill. When they reach the bottom they fall off the toboggan.
Ennis stands up and offers his hand to Alma while saying: You alright?
Alma pulls him down to the snow and they start "wrestling"...
Alma (laughing): No, don't, stop!
-
Next scene:
On a country highway Ennis and other men are laying asphalt while one of them is talking his tongue off to Ennis....
Worker : My old lady's trying to get me to quit this job, she says I'm gettin' too old to be breaking my back shoveling asphalt.......... I told her, strong backs and weak minds run in my family.... didn't think that was too funny (he laughs).... I told her keeps me fit..... ( Ennis doesn't say a word)
-
Ennis looks out into the distance, seeming to be elsewhere...
New scene [this was the last scnee I posted before we lost a lot of posts a few weeks back. ;)]
Ennis and Alma are watching the 1964 film "Surf Party" from inside the truck at a drive-in movie.
[Dialogue from the movie:]
Boy: Mornin'.
Girl: Mornin'.
Boy: Pulled in last night... didn't want to wake you up.
Girl: Oh now, I was just...
Boy: I thought I'd tell you before the sergeant showed up... parking this trailer on the beach is illegal!
All the while, Alma puts Ennis's hand on her swollen abdomen so that he could feel the baby moving... She smiles, and there is a look of wonder on Ennis's face.

Aguirre, answers not even looking at Jack: You're wasting your time here.
Jack, playing nervously with his hat: What,you ain't got nothin'....... nothin' up on Brokeback?
Aguirre gives Jack a long look: Ain't got no work for YOU.
-
There is an awkward moment as Jack looks at Aguirre, turns and starts for the door. He pauses and turns back to Aguirre, and asks: Ennis del Mar aint been around, has he?
-
Aguirre : (without even looking at Jack)..... You boys sure found a way to make the time pass up there, (now looking hard at Jack)...

-
Jack rolls quickly out a' the way to keep from gettin' trampled by the bull
ANNOUNCER: Ah, send in the clowns . . . OK, . . . a fine ride from Mr. Twist, four seconds . . . .

Jack:I d' like to buy Jimbo a beer. Best rodeo clown I ever worked with.
-
Jimbo replies: No thanks, cowboy...if I was to let every rodeo hand I pulled a bull off buy me liquor I'd have been an alcoholic long ago.
Jack is still smiling and looking at him. He looks back uneasily, stands up, takes his beer: Pulling bulls off you buckaroos is just my job...save your money for your next entry fee, cowboy... and walks away to the pool table where his friends gather around and start talking to him...
-
Jack stares dejectedly at the bar . . .
Bartender: You ever try calf ropin'?
Jack: Do I look like I can afford a fu**in' ropin' horse?
Jack stomps outta' the bar.

New scene. July 4 at Riverton. Evening, at the fireworks display. Ennis, Alma, and their 2 girls are looking for a spot to watch the fireworks. They are carrying a picnic basket and seem intent in enjoying the evening with the other people of Riverton who have shown up for the event.
Ennis: Shouldn't we move a little closer?
-
-Alma:No. Come on, let's don't. Jenny'll get scared
Two bikers looking for some mess are sitting next to them.They begin to speak loud:
-Biker 1:Look at this crowd. Bound to be a lot of pussy on the hoof in a crowd like this.

Biker 1: So where da ya figure the most pussies at? Las Vegas or California?

Ennis ,turns toward the bikers clearly upset:
Hey, you wanna keep it down? I got two little girls over here.!
-
Biker 1 : f*** you. Asshole. Probably quit givin' it to his wife after his kids was born.
Biker 2: You know what that's like.
Biker 1. Yeah.
-
The Bikers glare at Ennis. Ennis glares back at the Bikers.
Alma (nervously): let's move, Ennis. Let's just move...
-
Ennis hands Jenny to Alma. Slowly gets up and walks back to where the bikers sit.
ENNIS: Now I don't want any trouble from you, but you need to shut your slop bucket mouth, you hear me?
BIKER 2: You oughta' listen to your old lady then.
ENNIS: That right?
BIKER 2: Yeah, move somewhere else.
Fireworks explode along with Ennis's emotions . . . .
Ennis grabs him, throws him to the ground, swings around, kicks Biker 1 in the face, knocking him out.
ENNIS: Whut about it? You wanna’ lose about half your fu**in’ teeth? Huh?
BIKER 2: Not tonight bud, I'd sure rather not.

Next scene.
In the rodeo,Jack is waiting for his turn.One hears in the megaphon:
- Here she comes, ladies and gentlemen! Oh boy, look at her fly! This is Lureen Newsome from right here in Childress, Texas! Come on, folks, she's gotta hear it, let's give her a big hand! She's turning on two! She's around three! Come on, folks! Help her home! Come on! Come on! And the time is 16 and 9!
-
Jack is sitting on the back of his truck as Lureen Newsome rides past. Lureen's hat blows off her head. Jack stands up and picks up Lureen's hat. Lureen rides back and Jack gives her the red cowboy hat.
Jack (smiling): Ma'am.
Lureen smiles and Jack and makes a flirty little clicking sound with her mouth before she rides away.
-
New Scene. At the Rodeo. Jack is preparing for his ride, checking the grips, etc. We see Lureen approach the front of the stand to watch Jack...
MC: Here comes Scotty Griffiths, out of Lubbock, Texas... Come on, Scotty! Damn it! Let's give Scotty Griffiths a big hand, folks... Better luck next time, cowboy. Boy I tell you folks, what a heck of a way to make a living! ... Next up is an up-and-comer, Jack Twist from all the way up in Lightning Flat, Wyoming. He's onboard Sleepy today! Let's hope he's not! Okay.
The gate is opened at Jack begins his ride.
-
The bull charges out of the chute bucking wildly. Jack hangs on for dear life!
MC: Oh, Boy! Let's hear what the judges have to say. Don't know for sure, but that looked like the winning ride to me...
-
New Scene inside the rodeo bar, Jack sittin' at the bar by himself, glancing over his shoulder at Lureen. Looks up at the bartender and asks:
JACK: You know that girl?
-
Bartender: Sure do. Lureen Newsome. Her dad sell farm equipment. Big farm equipment. Hundred thousand dollar tractors. s--- like that.
Jack looks over at Lureen. Lureen is looking at him. Lureen got up and walked over to Jack.
Lureen: What are you waiting for, cowboy...a matin' call?
-
Jack looks down at his drink, then shyly back at Lureen . . .
Gulps.
;D ;D ;D
-
Jack and Lureen dance to the strains of:
No one’s gonna love you like me
No one else, can’t you see?
No one’s gonna love you like me
No one, no one.
No one else, can’t you see?
No one’s gonna love you like me
No one, no one.
I know sometimes you felt so lonely
I know you felt so sad and blue
But this time, you know I’m the only
Love for you that’s coming through
With everything I say and do
No one’s gonna love you like me
No one, no one.
I know sometimes you felt so lonely
I know you felt so sad and blue
But this time, you know I’m the only
Love for you that’s coming through
With everything I say and do
No one’s gonna love you like me
No one, no one.
No one, no one.
Jack and Lureen toy with each others hands and exchange meaningful looks. But when Jack's face is out of view from Lureen, it assumes a sad, far-off look...
-
Next scene, Jack and Lureen are making out in the car.
Jack is lying on his back in the back seat of the car and Lureen is on top of him. Jack smiles up at Lureen.
Lureen: You don't think I'm too fast, do you? Maybe I should put on the brakes?
Jack: Fast or Slow, I just like the direction you're going in.
Lureen looks a little startled for a moment, then gives Jack a big smile.
-
Lureen suddenly starts to take her top off...
Jack: You ARE in a hurry!
-
Lureen: My daddy is the hurry. Wants me home with the car by midnite
-
New scene. Ennis enters Monroe's grocery store in Riverton.

Ennis continues quickly: all the heifers must be calving at the same time. Thought I'd drop the girls off with you...
-
Alma: Ennis, I got a million things I gotta do here before I can leave... I don't get off for another three hours...
Jr. (interrupting Alma ;)): Mama, I need crayons...
-
Alma to Jr.: not now, Alma. Turns her attention to Ennis and says: Ennis, you said you would keep them tonight...
-
ENNIS: Alma, I can't afford not ta' be there when the heifers calve, it'd prob'ly be my job if I lose any of 'em.
-
Alma: What about my job? (Ennis then gives her a funny look) Okay... Alright... I'll call my sister an' see if she can take 'em.
-
ENNIS: All right, all right. You be a good girl for your mama all right. (Ennis bends and kisses Jr., then turns, walks quickly away) Ah, I’ll be half the night, bring home some round steak if ya’ think of it.
Meanwhile Alma is struggling to control the girls, Jenny is crying, Jr. pulls a jar of peanuts off the shelf %&) . . .
-
Alma Jr. pulls a jar of peanuts off the shelf which causes the display of peanut jars to come crashing to the floor. There's broken glass and peanuts all over the floor. Alma looks stunned.
Monroe comes running at the sound of broken glass.
Alma (almost in tears): Monroe, I AM SO SORRY.
Monroe: It's okay, Alma. It's okay.
-
Alma: Alma, come with me...
Monroe: Watch your feet!
Alma: ...Alma!
Alms takes hold of Jr.'s hand and they walk away.

Fayette: Got two whole boxes of formula for you... a hundred and twenty cans! (To her husband:) Where did you put them?
-
L.D. Newsome: Oh hell, back seat of the car where I left 'em. (indifferently tosses the carkeys at Jack, who, not as quick as Ennis with Aguirres watch, drops 'em) Rodeo can get 'em.
-
Jack picks up the keys as Lureen's mother says: Oh, L.D., I can already see who little Bobby looks like...
-
LD: Good job, little gal! He's the spittin' image of his grandpa...
He suddenly notices Jack and may have sensed a moment of awkwardness... He addresses Jack...
LD: Isn't he the spittin' image of his grandpa?
Jack smiles awkwardly and goes to get the cans from the car -- he appears dispirited...

thought I'd stop and buy a beer. Drop me a line if you can,
say if your there, Jack"
....then turns it over and looks at the address. He caresses the postcard with his thumb.

Ennis, wearing his BEST blue and white striped shirt, walks from the living room to the kitchen to get another beer. As he walks back into the living room Alma says hopefully: Maybe we can get a babysitter...take your friend to the Knife and Fork?
-
ENNIS: (Uttering one of his best multisyllabic, guttural expressions of emotion)
Nahungh, Jack ain't the restaurant type . . .
More an' likely just go out an' get drunk . . . .
(Sits down, looking out the window, takes a swig from the beer bottle, coughs)
If he shows . . .
(Lights a cigarette, takes a drag while lookin' out the window with concern)
-
Sound of a truck engine, Ennis goes to window, looks out, sees Jack gets out of his truck,
big smile lights up Ennis s' face,.......
Ennis: "Jack f**kin' Twist!!"
--------------------------------------------
From the SS (the description in the SS is so beautiful that I had to quote...) :
". A hot jolt scalded Ennis and he was out on the landing pulling the door closed behind him, took the stairs two and two. They seized each other by the shoulders, hugged mightily, squeezing the breath out of each other, saying, son of a bitch, son of a bitch, then, and easily as the right key turns the lock tumblers, their mouths came together, and hard....... his hat falling to the floor, stubble rasping, wet saliva welling, and the door opening and Alma looking out for a few seconds at Ennis's straining shoulders and shutting the door again and still they clinched, pressing chest and groin and thigh and leg together, treading on each other's toes until they pulled apart to breathe and Ennis, not big on endearments, said what he said
to his horses and daughters, little darlin."
sigh...<^(
-
Jack and Ennis embrace.
Jack: Son of a bitch...
There is a pause after the initial embrace. Ennis looks around to see if anyone could see them, and then he shoves Jack up to the wall and kisses him passionately. Slight pause. Jack then shoves Ennis up to a post and kisses Ennis.
-
Ennis & Jack continue their frantic embrace, Alma peeks out the door, gets the shock of her life, closes the doors walks back to the kitchen shaken. Meanwhile down at the foot of the stairs Ennis tries to pull away from Jack, but like a starving man who can't get enough, continues to nuzzle Jack's face . . . mumbles:
ENNIS: Later . . .
They separate and head upstairs . . .
-
Ennis and Jack breathless and excited enter the apartment:
Ennis: "Alma, this is Jack Twist. Jack, this is my wife Alma"
-
Jack doesn't enter the apartment, but rather stands in the hallway doorway with his eyes down. He lifts his eyes for a moment and looks at Alma and quickly says: Howdy.
-
Alma (rather curtly): Hello.
Baby sounds come from another room.
Jack: So, you got a kid?!
-
ENNIS: Yeah, I got two little girls, Alma Jr. an' Jenny.
-
Jack :
I got a boy.
Ennis :
Yeah?
Jack :
Eight months old. Smiles a lot. I married the prettiest little gal in Childress, Texas.
Ennis :
Yeah?
Jack:
Lureen
-
Ennis steps into the hallway and grabs his jacket while speaking to Alma: Jack and me is going out and get a drink...might not get back tonight, we get to drinking and talking....
-
Alma : (trying desperately to hang on and make Ennis to come back quick....)
Ennis could you get me a packet of smokes?
-
Ennis replies as he heads down the stairs: If you need smokes Alma there's some in the pocket of my blue shirt, there in the bedroom.
-
New scene: In bed at the Siesta Motel, Jack, with Ennis lying upon his chest and cradled in his arms, whispers into Ennis's ear:
JACK: Four years, damn.
ENNIS: Yeah, four years . . .
Didn't think I'd hear from you again, I figured you wus sore from that punch.
-
Jack: That next summer I drove back up to Brokeback, talked to Aguirre about a job. He told me you hadn't been back, so I left.
-
Jack: Went down to Texas for rodeoin'... That's how I met Lureen. Made 2 000 dollars that year bullridin'... nearly starved. Lureen's old man... he makes serious money... farm machine business... 'course he hates my guts...
-
Ennis :
And Army didn't get you?
Jack :
No, too busted up. And rodeoin' ain't what it was in my daddy's day. Got out while I could still walk.
-
Jack (with a slight smile on his face): Swear to God I didn't know we was going to get into this again. He pauses, and his smile increases: Yes, I did! Red-lined it all the way...couldn't get here fast enough. What about you?
-
ENNIS: Me?
Ennis struggles to say what his heart knows, but his voice can’t admit.
Ah, . . . ungh, . . . well, . . . ah, . . I dunno' know.
Takes a long drag.
-
Ennis looks sad. Jack says: Old Brokeback got us good, didn't it? Jack pauses and takes a puff on his cigarette: What are we gonna do now?
-
Ennis: I doubt there's nothing we can do. I'm stuck with what I've got here. Makin' a livin' is about all I've got time for now.
-
New scene, Ennis comes home. Alma is there,in her nightgown and robe.
Ennis: Me and Jack's heading to the mountains for a day or two. Do a little fishin.
-
Alma: You know your friend could come inside, have a cup of coffee..
-
Ennis :
Well, he's from Texas.
Alma :
Texans don't drink coffee? ... You sure that foreman won't fire you for takin' off?
-
Ennis: Ya know... that foreman... he owes me. I worked through a blizzard last Christmas, remember that? Besides... I'll only be a couple'a days...
-
Alma, Jr. comes running in from the other room saying: Bring me a fish, Daddy, a BIG fish...
Ennis says: Come here. He picks Junior up and kisses her.
-
Ennis looks at Alma awkwardly, gives her a quick hug, and kisses her on the cheek, says: See you Sunday, latest. and leaves.
-
Alma, holding Jr. in her arms watches the boys drive off together, weakly waves a hand, sniffles and cries as she sees her husband ride off with the man he so clearly loves.
In a new scene the boys head up to the mountains in Jack's snappy red & white pickup. They find the location of the old swimming hole, Jack parks the truck, the boys quickly strip down and, running to the edge of a cliff where, free of their clothes (and any other inhibitions), they jump in.
Ennis (who just can't wait) yells: LAST ONE IN!
Ennis beats Jack in (of course) by a fraction of a second. When their heads emerge from the water they whoop and holler at each other and the trees and rocks. Their joy of being here again with each other is uninhibited.
-
New Scene. At night, by the camp fire. Ennis is gazing up to the night sky, and Jack notices.
Jack: Anything interesting up there in heaven?
-
Ennis: Just sending a prayer of thanks.
-
Jack: For what?
Ennis, smiling, replies: For you forgetting to bring that harmonica. I'm enjoying the peace and quiet.
Jack laughs at this.
-
Jack glances at Ennis and then speaks slowly, carefully choosing his words: You know, it could be like this. Just like this, ALWAYS.
-
ENNIS: Yeah? . . how da' ya' figure that?
-
Jack :(all serious now, looking down) What if me and you had a little ranch together somewhere, little cow-and-calf operation, it'd be some sweet life. (pauses, looks at Ennis) and hell, Lureen's old man, you bet he'd give me a down-payment if I'd get lost, I mean, he already more or less said it....
-
Ennis looks at Jack, frowns, shakes his heads, and in a tone of both doubt and sadness:
No I, . . I told you, . . it ain't gonna' be that way.
Gets up from his recline facing Jack, sits close to Jack, but doesn't look him in the eye, continues . . .
Ya' know you, . . you got your wife n' baby in Texas, n, . . you know I got my life in Riverton.
-
Jack: Is that so...you and Alma...that's a life?
-
Ennis is slightly irritated, and says this as a sullen Jack listens...
Ennis: Now you shut up about Alma -- this ain't her fault. The bottom line is... we're around each other and this "thing" grabs hold of us again... in the wrong place... at the wrong time... we're dead.
-
ENNIS: I'll tell ya', . . . there, there were these two old guys that ranched off together down home, Earl n' Rich . . .
-
(We see in a flashback a little boy Ennis,his brother and father walking from a dusty path).Ennis keeps on talking:
-And they was a joke in town, even though they were pretty tough old birds.Anyway, they... they found Earl dead in an irrigation ditch.
(We see meanwhile young Ennis afraid face by stopping near Earl body).
-
Ennis, head down, shoulders hunched continues: They took a tire iron to him...spurred him up, drug him around by his dick 'til it pulled off,
-
Jack (his face vaguely incredulous): You seen this?
-
ENNIS: Yeah, I wasn't . . . nine years old. My dad he, he made sure me an' my brother seen it. Hell, for all I know he done the job.
-
Ennis continues.
Ennis: Two guys livin' together? No way! Now... we can get together once in a while... way the hell out in the middle of nowhere... but...
-
-Jack(a little angry) : “Once in a while”... every four f@#$ng years?
-Ennis: Well, if you can't fix it, Jack, you gotta stand it...
-Jack: For how long?
-
ENNIS: As long as we can ride it.
There ain’t no reins on this one.

Ennis turns around and walks back towards the girls, who have been swinging on the swingset:

Two ranchers, inside in Lureen's office, are lookin' out the window at Jack put the equipment through it's paces on the lot:
RANCHER 1: Say, isn't that the pissant that used ta' ride the bulls?

Jack :Well, could have sworn I seen it in here.
-
Lureen: Ya' know. You been going up to Wyoming all these years, why can't your buddy come down here to Texas an' fish?
-
Jack :Because the Bighorn Mountains ain't in Texas. And I don't think that his pickup could make it down here, anyway.
Lureen :New model comin' in this week, remember? You're the best combine salesman we got. You're the only one combine salesman, in fact.
Jack :Yeah, I'll be back in a week...That is unless I freeze to death and I'll freeze if I don't find that parka.
-
Lureen (irritated): Well, I don't have your godd**n parka! You're worse than Bobby when it comes to losing stuff.
-
Jack: Oh,speaking of Bobby,did you call his school about getting him a tutor?
Lureen: I thought you were going to call.
-
Jack: I complain too much...his teacher don't like me. Now it's your turn...
Lureen (resignedly): Okay..fine
-
Lureen:Oh, ok, so fine. I'll just, I'll call later.
Right....right, Jack murmurs, as he goes over to Lureen, bends over, gives her a dry peck on the lips.
I've got fourteen hours a drivin' ahead a me.

LUREEN: See now, it don't seem fair. You goin' up there two three times a year . . . .
(Lureen goes back to her paperwork, Jack absently waves goodbye)
New Scene, Riverton, Wyoming, DelMar apartment. Ennis is busy stuffing clothes from the closet in a duffel bag. Casually sniffs one of his own shirts before cramming it in the bag. Kisses his little girls on the way through the living room, heads to the kitchen where Alma is sittin' at the table thumbing through the paper and drinkin' coffee.
ALMA: Ennis they got an opening over at the Power Company, might be good pay.
ENNIS: As clumsy as I am I'd prob'ly get electrocuted.
-
Junior :Daddy! The church picnic's next weekend. Will you be back from fishing by next weekend? Please, daddy? Please!
Ennis :
Well, all right, as long as I don't have to sing.(The little girls laugh).

Ennis grabs his basket off the table , preparing to leave.
Alma: You forgetin' something?
-
ENNIS: Thankya'.

JACK: Your Late!
Ennis smiles back, carrying his fishin’ gear (with the price tag still on it ;)), answers back to Jack:
ENNIS: Look what I brought.
JACK: Beans!
ENNIS: And I’m gonna’ fix ‘em just the way you like.
We next see the boys slowly ridin’ their horses through the soft deep lush green of the mountain forest.

Ennis replies without looking at Alma: That fire and brimstone bunch?
Alma (very quietly): I think it would be nice.
-
New scene. In Ennis's and Alma's bedroom. They are making love. Ennis begins to penetrate Alma, who makes a tiny yelp of pleasure mixed with alarm.
Alma (sotto voce): Ennis... as far behind as we are on the bills, it makes me nervous not to take no precaution...
-
Ennis pulls back, furrows his brow, looks right at Alma.
If you don’t want no more a’ my kids, I’d be happy to leave ya’ alone.
-
Alma(looking unplesantly surprised,but firmly):-I'd have them, if you'd support them.

Next scene:
We see a battered and rusty "Entering Wyoming" sign as Jack drives his Ford pickup truck across the rolling hills. Jack is driving towards Ennis, lookin' all perky and whistling and singing to "King of the Road" as he grins in anticipation of what he thinks is about to happen.
As he pulls into Ennis' driveway, beeping his horn, Ennis is loading his girls into his truck, about to take off. He comes around the side of his truck when he sees who is pulling in. He shakes his head with disbelieve and goes toward Jack, who climbs out of his truck with a big grin on his face. They give each other a big, warm hug.
Ennis (smiling but a bit uncomfortable): Whut're you doin' here, huh?
-
Jack: Got the message about the divorce...
Jack puts his had behind Ennis's neck as it he was about to kiss him. Ennis nervously stops Jack and turns towards the girls back in his truck...
-
Ennis nerviously introduces Jack to the girls.

Jack :Hi.
Ennis :Say "hi", Girls.
Both :Hi!
-
Ennis and Jack step away from the truck.
Jack (smiling): You're card said the divorce came through.... so, here I am.
-
Ennis sounds increasingly awkward while Jack sounds increasingly doubtful:
Ennis: Yeah...
Jack: Had to ask about ten different people in Riverton where you had moved to...
Ennis: Well...
Jack: I guess I thought that this means you... (Jack makes a gesture with his head.)
-
Ennis:No, Jack...I don't know what to say...See, I got the girls this weekend and...Jesus, I...I'm sure as hell sorry. You know I am. See, I only get them once a month, and I missed last month.So I just...Because of the roundup. So ... Well.
-
Jack (trying hard not to show his immense disappointment): Yeah. Alright...
Ennis (trying to comfort Jack): Jack...
Jack: I'll see you next month then...
Jack departs.
New scene. Jack is crying as he drives. Music from the radio:
Go to sleep, may your sweet dreams come true
Just lay back in my arms for one more night
I've this crazy old notion that calls me sometimes
Saying this one's the love of your life.
Cause I know a love that will never grow old
And I know a love that will never grow old.
When you wake up the world may have changed
But trust in me, I'll never falter or fail
Just the smile in your eyes, it can light up the night,
And your laughter's like wind in my sails.
Cause I know a love that will never grow old
And I know a love that will never grow old.
Lean on me, let our hearts beat in time,
Feel strength from the hands that have held you so long.
Who cares where we go on this rugged old road
In a world that may say that we're wrong.
Cause I know a love that will never grow old
And I know a love that will never grow old.
Jack suddenly gets hold of himself and adopts a new look of resolve/determination. He drives to Juarez, just beyond the border...
-
Juarez, Mexico, music....
Jack enters an alley with all kind of types... stops in front of a Mexican male prostitute that asks:
"Senior?"
Jack nods and both men get lost in the dark alley.

New Scene: Childress, TX. The home of Jack and Lureen on Thanksgiving Day.
Lureen, carrying a dish, and Jack, carrying a huge, golden brown turkey, walk into to dining room. Sitting at the dining room table are Jack and Lureen's son, Bobby (about 10 years old) and Lureen's parents, L.D. and Fayette Newsome. Bobby is sitting at the dining room table while watching a football game playing on the television in the next room.
Jack sets the turkey down on the table and reaches for the carving knife and fork.
L.D. snatches the carving knife and fork out of Jack's hands and says: Whoa, there, Rodeo. The 'Stud Duck' does the carving around here..
-
Jack (conceded): You bet L.D... just thought I'd save you the trouble.
-
Lureen notes that Bobby has been watching a football game on TV instead of eating his food.
Lureen: Bobby... if you don't eat your dinner, I'm gonna have to turn off that television!
-
Bobby :Why, mama? I'm gonna be eating this food for the next two weeks.
Jack :Hey, you heard your mama. You finish your meal, and then you can watch the game.
-
Jack walks into the next room and turns the television set off. He walks back into the dining room and sits down. When Jack sits down, L.D. puts down the carving knife and fork and starts walking toward the television set.
Lureen: Daddy?
L.D. turns the television set back on.
Lureen (frustrated and angry): Daddy!
-
L.D.: Hell! We don't eat with our eyes... You want your son to grow up to be a man, don't you, daughter? Boys should watch football!
-
Jack (turn the tv off for the second time...): Not until he finishes the meal his mama spent 3 hours fixin'
LD rises from his seat, heads toward the TV.
Jack: (angrily, pushed beyond his limit):
Now you sit down you old son-of-a-bitch!! This is my house, my child, and you are my guest. Now you sit down before I knock your ignorant ass into next week!!!
( Oh, I love that line...lol)
In shock, LD meekly returns to his seat. Jack begins carving the turkey. Lureen unsuccessfully tries to suppress a smile of appreciation.
-
New Scene. Thanksgiving dinner at Monroe and Alma's house, dinner table with Monroe, Alma, Alma Jr., Jenny, and Ennis. Ennis all duded up with a good shirt, bolo tie, hair slicked back. Tension in the air as the family sits quietly, not much to talk about. Finally Alma Jr. looks at her mom nervously then looks at her dad, pipes up:
ALMA Jr.: Daddy tell about when you rode broncs in the rodeo.
Ennis looks a bit surprised, not very comfortable suddenly having been put on stage, a role he doesn't much like. But doesn't want to disappoint his daughters who he obviously adores. Looks at Alma for some visual approval, then begins a short tale:
ENNIS: Uh. Well, it's a short story honey, wus only about three seconds I was on that bronc. . . Uhm, next thing I knew I was flyin' through the air . . . Only I was no angel like you and Jenny here, (gently rubs Jenny's cheek and ear) I didn't have no wings. (Ennis looks back at Alma with a bit a pride that he done this but Monroe hasn't) An' that the story of my saddle bronc career.
Alma looks a bit frustrated or annoyed, Monroe cuts more turkey with an electric knife.
-
New scene: Later Thanksgiving evening in the kitchen:
Alma is at the kitchen sink preparing to wash dishes. Ennis walks in carrying a couple of plates. Ennis puts the plates in the sink then leans against the counter.
Alma (quietly): You ought to get married again, Ennis. (short pause) Me and the girls worry about you being alone so much.
-
Ennis: not looking back at Alma mumbles with his head down,
Once burned.
-
Alma makes a small startled motion, takes a breath and gives Ennis a quick sideways glance. She clenches her teeth and starts washing a dish. Speaking slowly and quietly she says: You still go fishing with Jack Twist?
-
ENNIS: Hm,uh. . . Not often.
-
Alma(still washing a dish, takes a deep breath and says:
You know, I used to wonder how come you never brought any trouts home.
Ennis's face starting to show distress..while Alma continues angrily: always said you caught plenty, and you know how me and the girls like fish.
-
Alma talks on to an increasingly agitated Ennis:
Alma: So one night I got your creel case open the night before you went on one of your little trips -- price tag still on it after five years -- and I tied a note to the end of the line... It said, "Hello, Ennis, bring some fish home. Love, Alma." And then you come back, lookin' all perky, and said you'd caught a bunch of brownies and you ate them up... Do you remember? I looked in the case first chance I got and there was my note still tied there! That line hadn't touched water in its life!
-
ENNIS: (growls) That don't mean nuthin' Alma.
-
Alma stops washing, half turns toward Ennis and continues angrily: Don't try to fool me no more, Ennis. I know what it means. Jack Twist? Jack 'NASTY'!! You and him didn't go up there to fish...
-
A seething Ennis boils over, grabs Alma's arm, moves his face right up to Alma's, talks through his teeth:
ENNIS: You listen to me, you don't know nothin' about it!!
-
Alma:(With fear in her eyes) I'm going to yell for Monroe!
-
Ennis now in a rage, barely able to control his actions, nearly hits Alma.
ENNIS: Go on a fu**in' yell. I'll make him eat the fu**in' floor and you too!
-
Alma (hysterical): Get out of my house! Get Out!
Ennis leaves the kitchen. Sound of plates breaking.
-
Alma(hysterical)Alma :Get out! Get out! Get out of my house, Ennis del Mar! You hear me? You get out!
Ennis gets out of the house without saying a word,while Monroe and the girls get surprised for the sudden shouts and noise.
Jenny :Daddy?
Monroe :Alma?
Jenny :Bye, Daddy!
Junior :Bye!
-
Ennis drives his truck to the Black and Blue Eagle Bar. He gets out of the truck, slams the door and without checking for traffic walks quickly toward the bar directly in front of a fast moving pick up. The pick up SCREECHES to a halt and Ennis stops in his tracks. The angry driver yells: Hey, as*hole, watch where you're going!"
Ennis, without hesitation, runs up to the driver's window and starts hitting the driver through the open window. The driver pushes Ennis back, opens the door and starts swinging on Ennis. Ennis and the pick up driver are standing in the middle of the street fighting. The driver is taller and heavier than Ennis and literally beats him to the ground and does not stop.
-
Driver: You stupid f*ck! (Between punches) God damn! God! God damn!
Ennis (finally brought down and completely defeated and out of breath): F*ck...
Driver: Damn it!
New Scene. Beautiful music. In complete contrast to the violence of the last scenes, we see Ennis and Jack over the years meeting up in the mountains. We see them by a lake, and crossing a stream. They are visibly aging. Jack, with a paunch and mustache; Ennis his skin and hair aging. In the stream crossing, we clearly see them sullen -- not very happy. Clearly, the years of separation are taking their toll on each of them...
-
Next scene: Jack and Ennis by the river , Ennis is washing the dishes...
Jack: All I ask is what's the point of making it?If the taxes don't get it,the inflation will eat it all up.
-
Jack(smiling slightY):-You should see Lureen punchin' numbers in her adding machine. Hunting for extra zeros, her eyes gettin' smaller and smaller. It's like watchin' a rabbit tryin' to...squeeze into a snake hole with a coyote on its tail.
Ennis :-That's some high class entertainment, if you ask me.
Jack(careless) :-For what it's worth...
Ennis(he seems a little worried) :-You and Lureen, it's normal and all?
Jack(a little surprised for the question) :-Sure.
-
Ennis looks at Jack intensely: And she don't never suspect?
Jack silently shakes his head No.
-
Ennis is washing dishes in the mountain stream. he glances sideways at Jack and continues speaking:
You ever get the feeling... I don't know, when you're in town, and somebody looks at you, kind of suspicious...like he KNOWS? And then you get out on the street, and everyone is looking at you, like maybe they all know, too?
-
Jack (slowly and carefully): Maybe it's time you moved out of there. You know, move yourself somewhere different...maybe Texas.
-
ENNIS: (looks at Jack incredulously) Texas? Sure, an' maybe you can convince Alma to let you an' Lureen adopt the girls. An' we can just live together herdin' sheep. An' it'll rain money from L.D. Newsome, an' whiskey'll flow in the streams Jack. That's real smart, real smart.
JACK: Oh hell, you wanna' live your miserable fu**in' life then go right ahead.
ENNIS: Fine, fine.
JACK: I wus just thinkin' out loud.
ENNIS: Yep, you're a real thinker there. Goddamn, Jack fu**in' Twist, got it all figured out ain't he?
-
New scene. In a Riverton bar. Ennis is drinking beer and smoking. A woman -- Cassie -- goes to the jukebox to start a song. Ennis rises to go to the washroom, but Cassie stops him by taking his arm.
Ennis: I was on my way to the ...
-
Cassie: Just finished my shift. Do you want to dance?
Cassie grabs Ennis' hand and leads him to the dance floor: I'm Cassie. Cassie Cartwright.
Ennis follows a bit reluctantly: Ennis....(pause)... Del Mar
-
They
-
They dance for a while, Ennis hardly moving with one hand in his pocket...
They return to the table.
Ennis: No more dancin' for me... I hope..
-
Cassie (sits down beside Ennis and starts to take of her shoes): You're safe... My feet hurt...
Ennis (with a look of sympathy on his face): It's hard work, is it?
-
CASSIE: Yeah, . . . Drunks like you (!? ^*()) demanding beer after beer, smokin', - gets tiresome. Whata' you do, Ennis DelMar?
ENNIS: (lookin' down at the floor) Ungh, earlier today I was castratin' calves.
-
Cassie(with a funny disgust gesture in her face):-Hug¡
(she puts her feet on Ennis lap).
Ennis:-What are you doing?
Cassie :-Tryin' to get a foot rub, dummy.
Ennis(beginning to rub them) :--All right. That good?
-
Cassie: Uhuh...
New scene: a dance hall in Chirlress. Jack and loreen are at table with Lashawn and Randall Malone. Bubbly Lashawn is talking...
Lashawn: ...and then I pledged Tri Delt at SMU, and I sure never thought I'd end up in a poky little place like Childress! But then I met ol' Randall here at an Aggie game... He was an animal husbandry major... So we been here a month, and he got the foreman job over at Roy Taylor's ranch. Like it or not, here I am!
-
Lureen (condescendingly): You was Tri Delt? I was Kappa Phi myself.
LaShawn: Well, even though we ain't quite sorority sisters, we may just have to dance wit ourselves, Lureen. Our husbands ain't the least bit interested in dancing. They ain't got a smidgen of rhythm between them.
-
Lureen:(With a forlornness smile) It's funny isn't it? Husbands don't never seem to want to dance with their wives.
Turns to Jack: Why do you think that is Jack?
-
Jack looks briefly at Lureen, turns away, brushes cigarette ash from his jacket: Don't ever give it any thought.
Asks LaShawn: Wanna dance?
-
LASHAWN: Yes, thank you.
JACK: (to Randall) You mind? (No)
they start a slow dance to “I Don’t Want to Say Goodbye” by Teddy Thompson
(best part of this scene IMHO) . . .
LASHAWN: (chattering like a squirrel) Thank you for asking me to dance with you, I really appreciate that. Randal never does. It’s a good thing that you and Lureen happened along when you did or else we’d still be stuck along the side of the road in that darn pickup. I told Randall we oughta’ take the car, but he never listens to me, he wouldn’t listen to me if he was goin’ deaf tomorrow. I told him it takes more than chewin’ gum and balin’ wire to fix that old pickup, well he’s never been very mechanical though.
Jack listens patiently, smilin', not sayin' a word . . .
-
Next scene.Jack and Randall are sitting in a bench outside the ballroom.There's a little of tension between the both of them.Jack breaks the silence:
Jack :You ever notice how a woman will powder her nose before she goes to a party? And then she'll powder it again once the party's over? I mean, why powder your nose just to go home and go to bed?
Randall :-Don't know. Even if I wanted to know, I couldn't get a word in with Lashawn long enough to ask. Woman talks a blue streak.
Jack:-Lively little gal. You'll like working for Roy Taylor. He's solid, Roy.
Randall :-Yeah, Roy. He's a good old boy. He's got a little cabin down on Lake Kemp. Got a crappie house, little boat. Said I could use it whenever I want. We ought to go down there some weekend. Drink a little whiskey, fish some. Get away, you know?
-
Next shot, no dialogue, we see Jack, looking off to the distance, appears in thought and somewhat stunned. (OT - Is he wondering is this guy hittin' on him? or is he thinkin' about Ennis?
-
Lashawn and Lureen return from powdering their noses. Lashawn is talking all the time.
Lashawn: ...when I was right out of SMU I coulda had ma pick of pretty much any job in North Dallas... so ma pick was Neiman Marcus... which was a disaster, because honey, where clothes is concerned, I got no resistance... I was spending more than I made... more than Randall ever will make... we come here thinkin ranchin was still big hats and Marlboros... boy, were we behind the times!
The men rise, go to their wives, and go.
-
New scene: Riverton, WY. The home of Alma and Monroe. Alma, Jr. (15 years old) is sitting on the porch waiting for Ennis to pick her up. Ennis drives up in his pick-up. Cassie is sitting in the passenger seat.
Alma, Jr. sees Cassie in the truck and looks disappointed but puts on a small smile for her father.
Ennis: Hey, there, Junior. You ready to go?
-
Scene at the Riverton bar. Ennis is feeding the jukebox, and it starts playing Tammy Wynette's "D-I-V-O-R-C-E".
Our little boy is four years old and quite a little man
So we spell out the words we don't want him to understand
Like T.O.Y or maybe S.U.R.P.R.I.S.E
But the words we're hiding from him now
Tear the heart right out of me.
Our D.I.V.O.R.C.E becomes final today
Me and little J.O.E will be goin' away
I love you both and it will be pure H.E double L for me
Oh, I wish that we could stop this D.I.V.O.R.C.E.
Watch him smile, he thinks it Christmas
Or his 5th Birthay
And he thinks C.U.S.O.T.D.Y spells fun or play
I spell out all the hurtin' words
And turn my head when I speak
'Cause I can't spell a way this hurt
That's drippin' down my cheek.
Our D.I.V.O.R.C.E becomes final today
Me and little J.O.E will be goin' away
I love you both and it will be pure H.E double L for me
Oh, I wish that we could stop this D.I.V.O.R.C.E.
Cassie and Jr. are seated on a table.
Cassie: What do you think? Your daddy's ever gonna see fit to settle down again?
Jr. (nervously fidgeting with her bottle of soda[?]): Don't know. (She pauses significantly.) Maybe he's not the marrying kind.
Cassie (with a slight edge): You don't think so? ... Or you don't think I'm the one for him?
Jr.: You're good enough.
Cassie (smiles): You don't say much... but you get your point across!
Jr. (slightly embarassed): Sorry... I didn't mean to be rude.
Ennis walks up to them.
Ennis: Alright...
Cassie (pulling Ennis back up and leads him to the dance floor): You're stayin' on your feet, cowboy!
Ennis (to Jr.): Excuse me, darlin'...
Jr. watches them go. She looks morose... Ennis and Cassie start to dance...
-
New scene, Ennis and Jr. ridin' back to Alma's house in Ennis's pickup, Jr. lookin' pretty distant, something on her mind.
ENNIS: So I'll pick you an' Jenny up next weekend after church.
JR.: Fine.
ENNIS: You alright?
JR.: Yes.
ENNIS: (knowingly) Are you sure?
-
Junior(a little redundant in speaking at first) :-Daddy, I was thinkin', what with the new baby and all...Ma and Monroe have been awful strict on me. More on me than Jenny even. I was thinkin', maybe I could...Maybe I could come stay with you. I'd be an awful good help, I know I would.
Ennis :-Now, you know I ain't set up for that. With the roundup comin'...I won't ever be home.
Junior :-It's all right, Daddy.
Ennis :-I'm not sayin' that I wouldn't...
Junior :-It's all right. I understand.
Ennis :-Well, see you on Sunday, then.
Junior :-Bye.
Ennis :-Bye, sweetheart.
-
Conclusion of this important scene with no dialogue:
Ennis watches Jr. get out of the truck and run back to the house.
Knows there's nothing he can do to fix her disappointment.
Slowly drives away thinkin' - about . . . ?

-
Ennis: Yup!
Jack (taking a side glance at Ennis): An' all this time and you ain't found nobody else to marry?
-
ENNIS:
I been puttin' the blocks to good lookin' little gal over in Riverton . . . waitress . . . wants ta' go ta' nursin' school or sumthin' . . . . (shakes his head in disgust) . . .
I don't know. (takes another swig from the bottle of Old Rose whiskey, passes it over to Jack)
Whut about you an' Lureen? (gettin' subject away from himself)
-
Jack: Lureen's good at making hard deals in the machinery business, but as far as our marriage goes, we could do it over the phone.
Pauses,takes a drink straight from a bottle of whiskey.
I kinda got a thing goin' with a ranch foreman's wife over in Childress.... continues laughing
I'm scared I'll get shot by Lureen or the husband , each time I slip off to see her...... chuckles .
-
Ennis looks at Jack lovingly and laughs: you probably deserve it...
-
Jack smiles back at Ennis then he get's sad and melancholic, starts talking slowly with intermissions :
Tell you what..... ( Ennis looks at Jack not smiling anymore)
the truth is..........sometimes I miss you so much I can hardly stand it.
( sigh... :\'( )

New scene, next morning on the mountain, boys are packin' up the trucks getting ready to leave. Jack goes to his truck, opens door, repeats his same stance from '63 when they split up:
JACK: I guess I'll head up on to Lightning Flat, see the folks for a day or two.
Jack looks at Ennis hopin' for some kinda' something . . . gets what he doesn't expect. Ennis, nervously messes with the truck trim, not eager to say what he has to.
ENNIS: There's sumthin' I been meanin' to tell ya' bud . . . .
-
Ennis continues:
Ennis: It's likely November before I can come out here again...
Jack's face is inscrutable. Ennis continues -- nervously...
Ennis: After we ship stock and before the winter feedin' starts again...
-
Jack: (stunned)
November? What in hell happened to August? Christ, Ennis, you had a fu**in' week to say some little word about this (Ennis is silent) And why's it we're always in the friggin' cold weather? We oughta go south, where it's warm. We oughta go to Mexico.
-
(Jack,sad and angry for moments, is turning his back to Ennis,who remains at some distance):
-Ennis :Mexico? Hell, Jack, you know me. About all the travellin' I ever done is around a coffee pot, looking for the handle.(Jack keeps in silence).Come on, Jack. Lighten up on me. We can hunt in November. Kill us a nice elk. I'll try if I can get Don Wroe's cabin again. We had a good time that year, didn't we?
-Jack(thinking out loud more than talking) :There's never enough time, never enough...

Jack (looks at Ennis) :...you know, friend, this is a goddamn bitch of a unsatisfactory situation. You used to come away easy. Now it's like seein' the Pope.
Ennis:Jack, I got to work. Them earlier days I used to quit the jobs. You forget how it is, bein' broke all the time. You ever hear of child support? Let me tell you, I can't quit this one. And I can't get the time off (pause) was tough enough gettin' this time. The trade-off was August (pause) You got a better idea?
-
Jack slowly turns to face Ennis, looking at him says with a tone of resentment, regret, and defiance:
JACK: I did once.
ENNIS: (parroting Jack) You did once.
-
Ennis :You been to Mexico, Jack? I heard about what they got in Mexico for boys like you.
Jack : (braced for it all these years, and here it comes, late and unexpected)
Hell yes, I been to Mexico. Is that a fu**in' problem?
-
Ennis closes the distance between them until he is standing inches away from Jack. He moves his face close to Jack's face until they are nose to nose. Ennis looks Jack straight in the eye.
Ennis is very angry and speaks slowly through clenched teeth: I've got to say this to you one time, JACK F*CKIN TWIST, and I ain't foolin'. What I don't know...all them THINGS I don't know...could get you killed if I should come to know them.
Ennis spits on the ground, turns his back on Jack and starts walking away.
-
Jack replies angrily: Yeah, well try this one...and I'll say it just once..
Ennis turns around and says: Go ahead!
Jack with bitterness in his voice: Tell you what...we coulda had a good life together, a f***in real good life...had us a place of our own...but you didn't want it, Ennis!
-
JACK (continues): So what we got now is Brokeback Mountain!!
Jack turns and throws his arms in angry exclamation towards the mountain.
-
Jack: (continues with an accusatory voice...his back to Ennis)
Everything's built on that! That's all we got, boy, fu**in' all. So I hope you know that, even if you don't never know the rest!
Ennis walks away from Jack towards the truck, shakes his head with anger..
-
Jack continues: You count the damn few times we've been together in nearly twenty years and you measure the short f***in' leash you keep me on, and THEN you ask me about Mexico, and tell me you'd kill me for needin' something I don't hardly NEVER get!
-
Jack continues agitated more and more ...:
You have no idea how bad it gets!!!! I'm not like you I can't make it in a couple of high altitude f*cks once or twice a year..You're too much for me Ennis, you son of a whoreson' bitch....
Jack turns toward the lake saying bitterly,: I wish I knew how to quit you..
............
:\'(
-
(one of my favourite parts :c) )
Ennis:Then why don't you?! Why don't you let me be? It's because of you, Jack, that I'm like this. I'm nothin'. I'm nowhere
Jack starts towards him, but Ennis jerks away) get the f*** off me! (Jack moves towards him again, and this time, Ennis doesn't resist)
-
Jack embrace him, Ennis clutches Jack desperately runs down in his arms while Jack comfort him: Sch,sch, it's alright it's alright....(Ennis is crying ) damn' you Ennis....
Ennis: I just can't stand this anymore,Jack...
:\'(

In Annie's words and Ang's pictures
What Jack remembered and craved in a way he could neither help nor
understand was the time that distant summer on Brokeback when Ennis had come
up behind him and pulled him close, the silent embrace satisfying some
shared and sexless hunger.
They had stood that way for a long time in front of the fire, its
burning tossing ruddy chunks of light, the shadow of their bodies a single
column against the rock. The minutes ticked by from the round watch in
Ennis's pocket, from the sticks in the fire settling into coals. Stars bit
through the wavy heat layers above the fire. Ennis's breath came slow and
quiet, he hummed, rocked a little in the sparklight, and Jack leaned against
the steady heartbeat, the vibrations of the humming like faint electricity
and, standing, he fell into sleep that was not sleep but something else
drowsy and tranced until Ennis, dredging up a rusty but still usable phrase
from the childhood time before his mother died, said, "Time to hit the hay,
cowboy. I got a go. Come on, you're sleepin on your feet like a horse,"
and gave Jack a shake, a push, and went off in the darkness. Jack heard his
spurs tremble as he mounted, the words "See you tomorrow," and the horse's
shuddering snort, grind of hoof on stone.
Later, that dozy embrace solidified in his memory as the single
moment of artless, charmed happiness in their separate and difficult lives.
Nothing marred it, even the knowledge that Ennis would not then embrace him
face to face because he did not want to see or feel that it was Jack he
held. And maybe, he thought, they'd never got much farther than that.
Let be, let be.

-
We see Ennis drive off and Jack watches him go...
New scene. At the Greyhound bus station at Riverton. Ennis sits alone in the cafeteria, eating apple pie. Cassie comes in with Carl and spies Ennis.
Cassie (to Carl): Excuse me...
Cassie approaches Ennis.
Cassie (To Ennis): Hey... Ennis Del Mar... Where you been?
-
-Ennis(without any enthusiasm) :Here and there.
-Cassie :I left word for you with Steve at the ranch. And you must've got those notes I left at your place.
-Ennis(looking at Carl) :Looks like I got the message, in any case.
-Cassie(turns her head to look also Carl):Carl? Yeah, Carl's nice. He even talks.
-
Ennis stops eating his pie looks over Cassie's shoulder at Carl who is standing near the wall watching them.
Ennis: Well then, good for you.
-
Cassie: Yeah... Good for me.
Ennis bows his head and Cassie sheds tears of frustration and hurt.
Cassie: I don't get you, Ennis Del Mar...
-
-Ennis :I'm sorry. I was probably no fun anyways, was I?
-Cassie :Ennis, girls don't fall in love with fun!...
(Cassie leaves crying and taking Carl's arm.Ennis remains with a gesture in his face,mixing of sadness and dissapointment).
-
New scene: Outside view of Riverton Post Office
Ennis walks at a casual slow pace out of the post office. He has a pile of mail in his hand. He removes the rubber band from around the mail and begins to sort through the mail.
He separates one piece of mail from the pile. It is a postcard with his handwriting on it. It is the postcard he sent to Jack saying that November still looked like the first chance he would be able to meet him again. Ennis turns the postcard over and suddenly STOPS WALKING in the middle of the street and just stands there staring at the postcard in his hand.
Stamped on the front of the postcard across Jack's address is one word: DECEASED
-
New scene:
Phone ringing is picked up by Laureen: Hello?
Ennis: Hello, this is, uh, Ennis Del Mar, uh.....
Laureen: Who , who is this?
-
Ennis: Ennis del Mar...I'm an old buddy of Jack's...
Lureen: Jack used to mention you...you're the fishin' buddy, or the huntin' buddy..I know that. Woulda let you know what happened, but wasn't sure about your name or address. Jack kept his friends' addresses in his head.
-
Ennis: That's why I'm callin'... uhhh... t'see what happened...
-
-Lureen(talking as if she was reciting by heart,even with a certain coldness):Oh, yeah. Jack was pumpin' up a flat on the truck out on the back road, when the tire blew up. The rim of the tire slammed into his face, broke his nose and jaw and knocked him unconscious on his back. By the time somebody come along, he'd drowned on his own blood. He was only 39 years old.
-
Ennis is in a phone booth, but we see what his is thinking. In his mind's eye, Ennis sees Jack being beaten by three men using tire irons.
There is a long silence, which Lureen breaks: Hello?
Ennis (slowly becoming aware of where he is): He buried down there?
-
LUREEN:
We put a stone up. He was cremated like he wanted. Half his ashes was interred here, the rest was sent up with his folks. He used to say he wanted his ashes scattered on Brokeback Mountain, but, I wasn’t sure where that was. I thought Brokeback Mountain might be around where he grew up. Knowin’ Jack it might be some pretend place, where bluebirds sing and there’s a whiskey spring.
ENNIS: (flinches when he hears the words, can barely speak)
No ma’am, we . . . . we wus herdin’ sheep on Brokeback one summer, back in ’63.
Lureen emits a small gasp, eyes well up when she hears the story, realizes the connection with this man.
-
Lureen: Ummmm.... Well, he said it was his favorite place. I thought he meant, to get drunk. He drank a lot...
-
Ennis (after a moment's hesitation): Is his folks still up'n Lightnin' Flat?
-
Lureen:They'll be there till the day they die.
-
-Ennis :I thank you for your time. I sure am sorry. We was good friends.
-Lureen :Get in touch with his folks. I suppose they'd appreciate it if his wishes was carried out. About the ashes, I mean.
(She hungs the phone.Ennis remains for some instants as if he couldn't believe it).
-
New scene: Lighting Flat, Wyo. Midday. Ennis' old pickup truck arrives at the little barren white farmhouse. Ennis gets out, looks around. Jack's ma looks out the door window, then comes out onto to the porch stands alone welcoming Ennis. Scene moves indoors, we see Ennis sitting quietly with old man Twist in a starkly whitewashed interior. From the kitchen ma' Twist asks:
Ma' Twist: Want a cup a' coffee don't ya, piece of cherry cake?
Ennis: Yes ma'am, I'll have a cup of coffee, but, I can't eat no cake just now.
-
Jack's mother goes back to the kitchen to get the coffee.
Ennis: I feel awful bad about Jack...(Jack's mother sets cup of coffee on a table and remains standing near Ennis)...thank you....Ennis continues: I can't begin to tell you how bad I feel. I knew him a long time. I come by to say that if you want me to take his ashes up there on Brokeback...like his wife said he wanted to...then I'd be happy to.
(Ennis is so devastated and looks like 10 years older...that's so heartbreaking :\'()
-
Jack's father hardly looks at Ennis while he's talking.With a depictful glance,he spits on the cup and begins to talk too:
John Twist :I'll tell you what. I know where Brokeback Mountain is. Thought he was too goddamn special to be buried in the family plot. Jack used to say..."Ennis del Mar", he used to say. "I'm gonna bring him up here one of these days and we'll lick this damn ranch into shape."(In this point,Ennis smiles slightly).
He had some half-baked notion the two of you was gonna move up here, build a cabin, help run the place. Then, this spring, he got another fella gonna come up here with him. Build the place, help run the ranch. Some ranch neighbor of his from down in Texas.(We can see Ennis face changing to surprise,sorrow and anger).
Gonna split up with his wife and come back here...so he says. But, like most of Jack's ideas, never come to pass.
-
Jack's Ma, possibly sensing Ennis' deep emotions, seems to try and comfort him, puts her hand on his shoulder, squeezes ever so gently, and says:
I kept his room like it was when he was a boy, I think he appreciated that. You are welcome to go up to his room, if you want.
Ennis, struggling to talk, to get some kind of words out of his mouth, looks at her with sadness in his eyes, and says in almost a whisper: Yeah, I'd like that, thank you.
He begins the journey up the stark white stairs to Jack's boyhood room.
-
New scene. We see Ennis reach the second floor. The glint of tears (if not tears themselves) can be seen in his eyes/face.
He turns to enter Jack's room...
-
He takes a general glance to all the room,taking into his hands a little wooden cowboy.When he leaves it in the table again,we can clearly see the tears in his eyes. :\'( He opens up the window and looks though it,as if he wants to get Jack's spirit free...Suddenly,he sees an wardrobe in the other room's extreme and he goes there; it's Jack's wardrobe with his clothings.
-
Ennis inside Jack's boyhood closet. Looks at Jacks clothes hanging on the rod, briefly looks at Jacks patchwork coat, he spies a pair of Jack's old packer boots on the floor, kneels down to look at them, picks up one to examine it, turns it over and around in his hands. Ennis notices a small, hidden nook in the back of the closet, peeks inside, something in there catches his eye . . .
-
Ennis can't seem to believe his eyes. He reaches out to touch what to him seems unreal. It is Jack's old shirt from the days of summer 1963, and tucked neatly inside it is his own old shirt -- seemingly lost after their big fight on BBM, right before they took the sheep down. He inspects the sleeves, and yes, he sees the old bloodstains from the fight. He reaches out to take them out of the hiding place.
-
He looks and hardly touches Jack's shirt as if it was made in glass.Slowly,he gets up and embraces the shirts,smelling them,as if he was trying to find Jack's smell in it.An inaudible "I love you" leaves his lips...
-
New scene. The ground floor of the Twist house. Ennis come down the stairs holding the 2 shirts. He spies John Twist and instinctively clutches the relics -- perhaps fearing that even this would not be granted him. He makes a gesture to Mrs. Twist, seeming to ask if he could have them. She -- all seeing and understanding -- gently nods her head and fetches a paper bag. She slips the shirts into the bag, pausing briefly before she inserts them into it...
-
JOHN TWIST: Tell you what, we've got family plot and he's goin' in it.
ENNIS: (barely able to control his combined rage and pain) Yessir.
MA' TWIST: You come back and see us again.
ENNIS: (in a barely audible whisper, nods slightly, looks her in the eye) Yeah.
Ennis walks to the door and exits, looks back at Jack's ma, nods his head slightly, holds up the bag with his and Jack's shirts, smiles a small but comforting private smile and says:
Thank you.
Ennis walks slowly back to his pickup truck.
Takes a glance up at Jack's room, the open window.
Heads across Wyoming, back to his trailer.
-
New scene.We see Ennis putting a number in his letter box,near his trailer.Suddenly,a car appears and Ennis looks at it,surprised.Jr. is driving it,parks it and she approaches her father.
-Ennis :Hey there, Junior.
-Junior :Hey, Daddy.
-Ennis :Come here.(They hug).
-Junior :Like the car?
-Ennis :Yeah. Is it yours?
-Junior :It's Kurt's.
-
Ennis: I thought you was seeing Troy.
Alma, Jr: TROY!?! Junior looks at Ennis in disbelief. Daddy, that was TWO YEARS ago!
-
New scene.We see Ennis putting a number on his letter box
did you know?
"17"
B R O K E B A C K M O U N T A I N
seventeen letters
sorry OT
-
did you know?
"17"
B R O K E B A C K M O U N T A I N
seventeen letters
sorry OT
OT: Yes, it was mentioned in one of the threads by a few people (perhaps by you?) about symbols or details in the movie.
Back to the topic:
------------------------------------------
Ennis seems not to hear. His mind is clearly elsewhere. He has a distant abstracted look... He continues asking about Troy, as if Jr. had not already implied that she and Troy were over...
Ennis: Troy still playin' baseball?
-
-Junior(insisting) :I don't know what he's doing. I'm seein' Kurt now.
-Ennis (a little in his world still):Well, what does Kurt do?
-Junior :Works out in the oil fields.
-Ennis :So he's a roughneck, huh?
-Junior :Yeah.
-
Ennis smiles at his daughter and says: Well, you're nineteen....guess you can do whatever you want.
-
Ennis: Is that right?
Jr.: Yeah. Sure.
Both enter the trailer. Ennis goes to the kitchen while Jr. sits on the bed, takes off her sweater, and puts it next to her. Jr. immediately notices the extreme austerity of the interior.
Jr.: Daddy... you need more furniture...
-
ENNIS: Yeah, well, Got nuthin', ya don't need nuthin'.
-
Ennis seats himself across from Jr. After a slight pause:
Ennis: So what's the occasion?
-
Alma Jr.:
Me and Kurt...we're getting married .
-
Ennis looks a little startled. He leans forward and looks carefully at Junior: How long you known this Kurt fellow?
-
Alma Jr: About a year..... The wedding 'll be June 5th at the Methodist church...
(Ennis, face is down, concern, doesn't look at his daughter....like he don't like what he is hearing)
-
ALMA Jr. continues: Jenny'll be singing, an Monroe is gonna' cater the reception.
Ennis is deeply concerned about something, can't look Jr. in eye, finally begins to talk and slowly looks up at Jr. with compassion and seriousness in his face and voice.
ENNIS: Unh, this, this Kurt fella' . . . he loves you?
-
Jr.smiles:Yeah,daddy...he loves me.
-
Ennis looks away. Something deep inside him is profoundly moved. Jr. notices this and continues half comfortingly and half expectingly...
Jr.: Was hoping you'd be there...
Ennis continues looking into the distance, and says in a very abstracted and remote manner:
Ennis: Yeah... I think I'm supposed to be on a roundup down near the Tetons....
Ennis looks at Jr. apologetically. He suddenly realizes how big a disappointment this was for Jr. Jr. says nothing, but IS clearly disappointed. She looks VEXED...
-
Ennis realises her daughter dissapointment and suddenly says:
-...You know what? I reckon they can find themselves a new cowboy. My little girl, getting married. Huh?
He gets up and serves two glasses of whiskey.Jr.smiles happily.
-Ennis:To Alma and Kurt.
-
Next scene no dialogue.
We see Alma Jr. drive off in a cloud of dust. Ennis standing alone (again) in his driveway watches her depart.
When she's gone Ennis heads back into his trailerhouse, goes inside, hangs his hat on the wall.
Looks around briefly, sees Jr's. sweater which she has forgotten. Picks it up, quickly looks out the door, but Jr's gone. Carefully folds the sweater, briefly sniffs it, takes it to his closet, opens it, puts it on the shelf.
-
Then,he sees the two shirts,now his own above Jack's,as a way of protect it.He fastens it carefully,watches and straightens the post card from Brokeback Mountain that is over the shirts,and with tears in his eyes,he says these enimagtical words:
-Jack,I swear...
-
Our focus shifts to the window, where we see (to paraphrase the screenplay) stretching before us the beautiful but lonely plain.
*Wings*
*He Was A Friend Of Mine* (Bob Dylan, lyrics)
He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
Every time I think about him now
Lord I just can't keep from cryin'
'Cause he was a friend of mine
He died on the road
He died on the road
He never had enough money
To pay his room or board
And he was a friend of mine
I stole away and cried
I stole away and cried
'Cause I never had too much money
And I never been quite satisfied
And he was a friend of mine
He never done no wrong
He never done no wrong
A thousand miles from home
And he never harmed no one
And he was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
Every time I hear his name
Lord I just can't keep from cryin'
'Cause he was a friend of mine.
*The Maker Makes* (Rufus Wainwright)
One more chain I break, to get me closer to you
One more chain does the maker make, to keep me from bustin' through
One more notch I scratch, to keep me thinkin' of you
One more notch does the maker make, upon my face so blue
Get along little doggies, get along little doggies
One more smile I fake, 'n try my best to be glad
One more smile does the maker make, because he knows I'm sad
Oh Lord, how I know,
Oh Lord, how I see, that only can the maker make a happy man of me
Get along little doggies, get along little doggies, get along
THE END
-
Her we go again, from the beginning .........
---------------------------------------
Truck stops and young Ennis jumps out put his jacket on, walks towards Aguirre's trailer.
1963, Signal, Wyoming
Train passes............
-
A rickety truck is seen to approach from the distance. It starts to park in front of Aguirre's trailer, but conks out. Jack Twist exits the drivers side and gives the truck a hearty kick (and some swreaing). He eyes Ennis Del Mar seated on the front steps of the trailer. He looks at Ennis with obvious interest and appears to start moving towards him. Ennis looks at Jack, meets the hot stare full in the face, and bows his head (perhaps in embarrassment). Jack, seeing this, holds back. He makes an almost challenging (and perhaps invitational) pose beside the truck, before he too bows his head...
-
Jack is shaving looking at the rear-view mirror... sound of a truck approaching, old station wagon stops about two feet from the steps of the trailer, Ennis jumps up to get out of the way.
Aguire: If you pair of deuces are lookin' for a job, I suggest you get your scrawny asses here, pronto.
(Well, that's the first line of the movie... :) )
-
Both enter in the trailer.Jack remains stand in the middle,while Ennis stands in a corner.Aguirre begins to talk:
-Aguirre: -Up on Brokeback, the Forest Service has got designated campsites on the allotments. Them camps can be three or four miles from where we pasture the woollies. Bad predator loss if there's nobody looking after them at night. Now, what I want is a camp tender to stay in the main camp where the forest service says.
-
Aguirre continues:
But the herder (looking at Jack)... he's gonna pitch a pup tent on the QT with the sheep, and he's gonna sleep there. You eat your supper and breakfast in camp, but you sleep with the sheep. Hundred percent! No fire... don't leave no sign... you roll up that tent every mornin' case the Forest Service snoops around...
-
Aguirre is interrupted by the ringing of the phone...:
Yeah? No. No! Not on your f*ckin' life! (he slams the headphone down..)
-
Meanwhile,we have seen how both Ennis and Jack are changing some shy glances,when the other is supposed not to realise it...Aguirre keeps on talking:
-Aguirre:-You got your dogs, your thirty-thirty, you sleep there. Last summer I had goddamn near 25% loss, I don't want that again.You.( he points at Ennis and he throws a watch to him): Fridays at noon be down at the bridge with your grocery list and mules... and somebody with supplies will be there at the pick-up. Tomorrow morning we'll truck you up to the jump-off.
-
Aguirre begins to light a cigarette. After lighting it, he notices that that Ennis and Jack are still there. He eyes them a meaningful look which tells them that the "interview" is over. They scurry out of the trailer.
New Scene. Jacka dn Ennis are outside the trailer. Jack lights a cigarette while Ennis puts on the watch Aguirre gave him.
Jack (offering his hand to Ennis abd introduces himself): Jack Twist.
-
ENNIS: Ennis.
-
Jack:-Your folks just stop at Ennis?
Ennis :-del Mar...
Jack:-Nice to know you Ennis del Mar! (he gives while he's speaking a meaningful glance to Ennis,from head to toe).
-
New scene, in the bar.
JACK (taking a swig from his beer): My second year up here. Last year a lightnin' storm killed 42 sheep - thought I'd asphyxiate from the smell. 'Course Aguirre got all over my back like I'm supposed to control the weather. Still, beats workin' for my old man - can't please my old man, no way. Why I took to rodeoin'. You ever rodeo?
-
Ennis doesn't wanna' talk much, nods his head slightly in reply, forces out a few words:
ENNIS: You know, uh, - I mean once in awhile, - when I got the entry fee in my pocket.
-
Jack: You from ranch people?
-
Ennis: I was.
-
Jack: Your folks run you off?
-
Ennis is slightly amused at the irony of Jacks question. Gives a summary of his life in less than thirty words. Jack listens in stunned disbelief . . .
ENNIS: No, they run themselves off. There wus, ah, one curve in the road in fortythree miles an' they missed it. So uh, bank took the ranch, an' brother an' sister they raised me mostly.
-
Jack: Shit...that's hard.
-
Ennis (indicating Jack's lighter): Can I? Thanks!
-
Taking Jack lighter, Ennis relights the butt of the cig that we'd seen him carefully flick off and stuff back in his coat pocket when he's standing all alone in front of Augirre's trailer.
-
New Scene. At the jump-off point where the flock is being assembled. Jack is trying out his horse while Ennis checks with the Basque on the sheep and supplies.
Basque: Don't let them stray... Joe will have your a** if you do! One more thing... Don't never order soup... Them soup boxes are hard to pack!
-
-Ennis:-I don't eat soup. ( to Jack ) You wanna watch it there! That horse has a low startle point.
-Jack :-Doubt there's a filly that could throw me! Let's git, unless you wanna sit around tying knots all day.
Ennis remains with an expression in his face that seems to say that they are going to have a funny time together...
-
Jack: Brokeback got us good, don't it?
-
Jack: Brokeback got us good, don't it?
??
------------
New scene:Accompanied by the so beautiful Gustavo Santaolalla - "Riding Horses" music. (sigh)(http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/brokebackmountain/ridinghorses.htm ....I hope it's OK)
Riding up the mountain with the sheep, Jack is holding a little new born, he and Ennis encouraging them by whistling, occasional tss..tss, whoa,whoa and up,up... dogs are helping round the herd together.
Cheeps' response: .... mmeeeee.... :)
-
New Scene
From a distance, the sound of sheep. Jack finishes his breakfast.
Jack :Shit. Can't wait 'til I got my own spread, won't have to put up with Joe Aguirre's crap no more.
-
Ennis: I'm savin' for a place m'self... Alma and me... we'll be gettin' married when I come down off this mountain!
-
Jack :-Shit, that "Stay with the sheep, no fire" bullshit. Aguirre got no right making us do something against the rules.
-
two important scenes with no dialog but great faces that show the growing bond and attraction between these two men:
Ennis nods in silent agreement with Jack's gripe about Aguirre.
(https://ennisjack.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi139.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fq313%2Fjackster545%2FEnnis-face.jpg&hash=a8556fd013fbc23a609fd5ca226e0ea2c665e6db)
then, Jack heads back to the sheep, his horse crowhops a bit and Jack looks towards Ennis sheepishly, then Ennis (surreptitiously) watches Jack ride off.
(https://ennisjack.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi139.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fq313%2Fjackster545%2FEnniswatchingJack.jpg&hash=926645bb4c7be0dd64d4be2993c4ae23d7963ece)
-
Correct me if I am wrong, but here occurs the scene where Ennis looks up to the Mountain and spies Jack with the sheep (?) This comes along with the various wordless scenes such as Jack sleeping, Ennis carving a wooden horse, etc. Is my memnory correct here?
Anyway, the next piece of dialog we hear:
Jack is about to leave camp. He is on his horse, and as a parting shot at Ennis, says:
Jack: No more beans!
-
Thomas: if your doing this from memory, yours is a whole lot better than mine -
I gotta check the print every time!
FYI - this sequence goes, with Santaolalla's beautiful background score:
Jack sleepin' w/ the dogs;
Ennis carvin' the horse;
JACK: "No more beans"
Ennis washin' and spying Jack on the mountain;
Jack takin' aim at a coyote, missin' and exclaiming:
"Shit!"
-
After all these short scenes,we see Ennis who has gone and looked for some meal with the Basque shepard.
Ennis(thoughful) :I don't know.
Basque :Something wrong?
Ennis :Yeah, so what... Why didn't we get the powdered milk and the spuds?
Basque :That's all we got!
Ennis :Well...here's next week's.(he gives the list to the Basque)
Basque :Thought you didn't eat soup?
Ennis :Yeah, well, I'm sick of beans.
Basque(with a slighty sarcastic smile) :Too early in the summer to be sick of beans.
Ennis ( to the mules and without answering ): Come on.
-
[Thanks jackster! Yes, I am doing this from memory... except when I have to look up song lyrics! :)]
We see Ennis heading back to camp. In the background, we hear "The Streets of Laredo" or "The Cowboy's Lament".
Ennis is by a stream. The horse rears. Ennis sees that a bear is right in front of them. The bear growls menacingly. The horse throws Ennis off. The mules make a disorderly exit, spilling the baggage all around. Ennis, momentarily stunned, goes after them.
Ennis: Hold it! Whoa! Sh*t! Come back here!
-
Meanwhile,Jack arrives to the campside,very surprised for not having found Ennis there.Later on,we see him sitting near the bonfire,drinking some whiskey and waiting for his fellow.Suddenly,he hears a sound; it's Ennis,who approaches to the campside,without realising Jack presence.He's rather angry.
-Ennis ( to the mules ):- Whoa here. Whoa! All right. f*** it. Okay, you bastard.
-Jack(getting up and very angry on his side) :-Where the hell you been ? Been up with the sheep all day, I get down here hungry as hell...all I find is beans. What in the hell happened, Ennis?
-
ENNIS: I come up on a bear's whut happened!
-
Ennis sits down on a log in front of the campfire: Goddamn horse spooked, the mules took off, scattered food everywhere.
Ennis takes a tired breath. Beans are about all we got left.
-
Ennis( continues): Got a whiskey or somethin'? ... Dumbass mule...
Jack dips his bandanna in a pot of water then gently tender the cut on Ennis's head. Ennis grabs the bandanna away from him and does it himself...but their fingers touch for a brief second before he does.
-
Jack is irritated when Ennis takes the bandanna away so quickly. Jack sits down near Ennis and looks in the fire.
Jack: Well, we've got to do something about this food situation. Maybe I'll shoot one of the sheep.
-
Ennis: What if Aguirre finds out, huh? We're supposed to guard the sheep, not eat 'em.
Jack, irritated: What's the matter with you? There's a thousand of 'em.
Ennis: I'll stick with beans.
Jack, determined: Well I won't.
-
New scene: Ennis carefully aims at an elk, levels his gun, fires. elk falls.
Jack: Whoeee!! Yeah!!
Ennis: Gettin' tired a' your dumbass missin' . . . :)
(But we all know that he'll do anything at this point to please Jack...)
-
Jack:Let's get a move on. Don't want the Game and Fish catch us with no deer.
-
The boys sit side-by-side in front of the fire and silently enjoy a meal of "grilled" elk.
New Scene. Ennis, camp tender, is fixin' the meal as Jack slowly saunters in a horseback. Jack groans loudly like an old man as he dismounts, then begins his gripe . . .
JACK: Arghh, ugh. . . . yeah, I'm commutin' four hours a day. (Ennis pays little attention keeps busy with the meal) I come in for breakfast, I go back to the sheep. Evening get 'em bedded down, come in for supper, go back to the sheep. Spend half the night checkin' for damn coyotes'. (slams his rifle down next to Ennis to get his attention) Aguirre got no right ta' make me do this!
-
Ennis:You wanna switch? I wouldn't mind sleepin' out there.
-
Jack, still complaining: That aint the point. The point is, we both oughta be in this camp. And the goddam pup tent smells like cat piss or worse...
-
Ennis: I wouldn't mind bein' out there...
Jack looks momentarily incredulous.
-
JACK: Well, I'm happy to switch w' you, but, I warn ya' I can't cook worth a damn. . . . I am pretty good with a can opener though. (Jack cracks a little smile at his own little joke)
ENNIS: Um, you can't be no worse than me then. . . . Here ya' go. (Ennis "serves" up dinner)
-
Next scene.Ennis rides on his horse for going up in the mountain.
-Jack :-You won't get much sleep, I'll tell you that.
-Ennis :-Yup. ( to his horse ) Come on...
He gets farther while Jack is looking at him with a little smile.
-
New scene. Jack is opening a can of beans for supper while Ennis takes his shirt and socks off prior to washing himself...
Ennis (to Jack): Shot a coyote up there... big SOB... balls the size a' apples... he looked like he could eat himself a camel! Y'want some of this hot water?
-
Jack,who is supposed to be a little nervous before the little striptease of his fellow,gets soaked with the tin's sauce.
-Jack:Shit...It's all yours.
Inmediately,we see how Ennis takes off all his clothes and takes a bath,while Jack,near to us,is trying to take a look while peeling potatoes.We can observe he's rather excited.
-
You can sense that Jack is watching Ennis from the corner of his eyes -- watching Ennis wash his armpits and privates. jack gulps ever so slightly, indicating the suppressed measure of his unease/excitement...
New Scene. Jack has just finished making water. He zips up and approaches Ennis, who is finishing up his can of beans.
Ennis: Hmmmmmm...
Jack's hands frame the rodeo bet buckle, raps it for emphasis, and shows it proudly to Ennis. Ennis continues:
Ennis: Don''t rodeo much m'self... I mean... what's the point of ridin' some piece of stock for 8 seconds?
-
their friendly banter continues . . . .
JACK: Money's a good point.
ENNIS: True enough. If you don't get stomped winnin' it. Huh?
-
Jack takes a drink from the whiskey bottle: My old man was bull rider, pretty well known in his day, though he kept his secrets to himself. NEVER taught me a thing, NEVER once come to see me ride.
-
A momentary awkward pause. jack tries to transfer the focus of the conversation away from himself.
Jack: Your brother and sister do right by you?
-
Ennis clears his throat and replies: They did the best they could after my folks was gone, considering they didn't leave us nother but $24 in a coffee can.
-
Ennis continues...
Ennis: I got me a year of high school before the transmission went on the pickup... my sis left... married a roughneck... moved to Casper... me and ma brother... we got ourselves some work on a ranch up near Worland until I was 19 and then he got married! No more room for me! That's how come me end up here....
He notices Jack grinning.
Ennis: Whut?
-
JACK: Friend, that's more words than you spoke in the past two weeks.
Jack crack a little smile, realizing he's just let Ennis know that he'd noticed.
ENNIS: Hell, that's the most I spoke in a year.
Ennis smiles back, happy to learn that Jack had noticed.
They both seem pleased and surprised by this new found intimacy.
-
There is a short silence.
Ennis, continues with a small smile on his face: My dad, now, he was a fine roper...didn't rodeo much, though. Without moving his head, Ennis gives Jack a quick, sideways glance. He thought rodeo cowboys was all f*ck-ups.
-
Jack, smiling: The hell they are!
-
Jack, laughing, gets up and walks toward Ennis and yells: Yee-haw, yee-haw!
Jack starts jumping around, twisting and waving his hat in the air: I'm spurring his guts out, waving at the girls in the stands! He's kicking to high heaven, but he can't dashboard ME! No way! Yee-haw!
Ennis is watching Jack and laughing.
-
Ennis is watching Jack and laughing.
OT - it is the most beautiful smile from Ennis in the entire movie.

ENNIS:laughin' as he watches Jack fall over himself in the pile of supplies..
I think my dad wus right .
-
New scene. Boys are moving camp to a new location, we see 'em slowly herding the sheep up the mountain with Santaolalla's beautiful background music. They find a new spot near a stream, begin to set up camp. Jack take's a break, stretches out and plays his harmonica while Ennis finishes erecting the tent. Ennis stands back, looking at his work (while Jack's lounging):
ENNIS: Tent don't look right.
-
(hpv, thanks so much for that pic of beautiful smile - I love it and who won't fall for Ennis with that smile?)
Jack, let it be..it ain't going anywhere.
-
(hpv, thanks so much for that pic of beautiful smile - I love it and who won't fall for Ennis with that smile?)
I couldn't resist... and you right.that is a most adorable smile... <^(
---------------------
Ennis(continues to complain):
.... that harmonica don't sound quite right either.....
-
Ennis (listens to Jack's harmonica playing): That harmonica don't sound quite right either...
-
Jack: That's 'cause it got kinda flattened when that mare threw me.
-
Ennis continues to fuss with the tent, ignoring Jack's "let it be" plea.
ENNIS: Oh yeah? Thought you said that mare couldn't throw you!
-
Jack: She got lucky.
Ennis (jokingly): Well, if I got lucky, that harmonica would have broken, too!
They both laugh.
-
New scene. Jack and Ennis are relaxing in camp.
Jack (singing, while Ennis beats time in the end): "I know I shall meet you on that final day... Water Walkin' Jesus... take me awayyyyyyyyy..."
-
Ennis beats out an accompaniment to Jack's signing with a stick on the metal coffeepot.
Takes another swig from the whiskey bottle and passes it to Jack.
ENNIS: Very good.
JACK: Ayee yeah, - my momma, she believes in the Pentecost.
ENNIS: Oh yeah?
-
Ennis: (passes the bottle back to Jack and casually pokes the fire with a stick)
What exactly is the Pentecost? I mean, . . . my folks they, they wus Methodists.
-
Jack: Well, the Pentecost.... Jack stops and looks confused, then continues: I don't know what the Pentcost is. Mama never explained it. Another pause: I guess it's when the world ends and fellows like you and me march off to Hell.
-
ENNIS with his best sh*t eatin' sly grin, smiles at Jack and says:
Speak for yurself. You may be a sinner, but I ain't yet had the opportunity.
JACK nods at Ennis for sharing this bit of very personal information,
I think he says "Hmmm. . . . " and passes Ennis the bottle almost in the manner of a toast.
Ennis receptively takes the bottle, says-
ENNIS: Thank you.
-
New Scene. The same location in camp, but it is now very late into the night. Ennis is still with Jack... Ennis and Jack are quite drunk (Ennis more so, it seems).
Ennis (to Jack): Shit. (He throws the empty bottle. He evidently tries to rise but is unsuccessful.) I'm.. I'm gonna go up to the sheep now...
Jack: Give 'em Hell!
-
Ennis,on his fours, too drunk to even stand :) mumbles :
You know what? I reckon...ee.. it's too late to go up to them sheep...
you got an extra blanket? I.... I'll just roll up out here..eeee.. grab forty winks..,..eee, ride out at first light.
-
Jack gets up slowly and walks to the tent for a blanket. He brings the blanket back and tosses it to Ennis saying: you'll freeze your a*s off once that fire dies down....better off sleeping in the tent...
-
Ennis (flippantly): Yeah...
He proceeds to ignore Jack's suggestion and goes to sleep after covering himself with the blanket.
Jack: Alright...
-
New scene, later that night. Camp fire dies down, coldness descends. Ennis, with only his blanket, chills (as Jack had warned), shivers, puffs, teeth chatter as he tries to keep warm. Wakes Jack with his snorting . . . annoyed, Jack opens the tent flap, yells . . .
JACK: ENNIS!
ENNIS: Whut?
JACK: Jus quit your hammerin' an' get in here!
Ennis sleepily get up, grabs his blanket, staggers to the tent knocking pot and pans on his way. Jack (cleverly?) scoots over, giving Ennis some room to lie down in the tent on Jack's right hand side. Then as Annie says "and in a little while they deepened their intimacy considerably."
-
Later, in the tent, Ennis is sleeping on his back. Jack is lying next to Ennis, his back to Ennis. Jack reaches behind him and 'seizes Ennis' left hand and brought it to his erect c*ck' .
Ennis starts, then comes fully awake. He looks puzzled for a second, then he realizes where he is and where his hand is and he 'jerked his hand away as though he touched fire.'
Ennis on his knees, is backed up against the tent flap. Jack gets on his knees and moves toward Ennis. Ennis grabs Jack by his shoulders. Jack grabs Ennis.
Ennis, confused, says: What are you doing?
Jack moves closer to Ennis until their foreheads are touching. Jack pulls back and makes eye contact with Ennis. Jack suddenly lets go of Ennis and quickly takes off his jacket then begins unbuckling his belt and pants.
-
Jack [probably] attempts to kiss Ennis, but both seem locked in the grip of uncertainty. Each one hold the face of the other, unsure what to do next...
Suddenly, with seeimg resolve, Ennis flips Jack and proceeds to undo his own belt/pants. He pulls Jack's pants down, lubricates himself with his own spittle, and commences penetration.
-
from the SS
. . . . nothing he'd done before, but no instruction manual needed. They went at it in silence except for a few sharp intakes of breath and Jack's choked "Gun's goin off," then out, down, and asleep.
Ennis woke in red dawn with his pants around his knees, a top grade headache, and Jack butted against him.
-
Ennis sits up and rubs his eyes. He looks around, unsure of where he is. He sees Jack lying beside him. Ennis, still sitting, pulls up his pants and crawls out of the tent.
-
New scene. Ennis is outside the tent, getting ready to depart -- without waiting for breakfast. Jack comes out of the tent, looking a bit uncertain as he watches Ennis prepare to depart.
Jack: See you for supper.
-
Ennis, looking uncomfortable, nods his head silently at Jack then rides away.
Ennis rides up the mountain toward where the woolies are pastured. He hears a dog barking and spurs his horse into a light gallop. When he reached the barking dog, he sees a dead sheep, clearly the victim of a coyote.
Ennis looks distressed.
-
Ennis looks distressed because he feels guilty.
When he returned to the camp he says to Jack :
- "What was happened this night it's one time only"
-
Jack: It's nobody's business but ours.
-
New scene: Jack has ridden up to where the woolies are pastured. He is lying on the ground looking at the sheep. Ennis walks up, stands near Jack without looking at him, then drops down and squats on his heels.
Without turning his head, Ennis gives Jack a quick glance then says: It's a one-shot thing we got going here.
Jack: It's nobody's business but ours.
Ennis: You know I ain't queer.
Jack gives Ennis a quick glance, then says slowly: Me neither.
Both continue to stare at the sheep in silence.
-
New scene: It's dark, Ennis sits alone in front of the fire, Jack is inside the tent. We see Jack is rustling around, getting ready for bed.
Ennis looks over at the tent, makes a decision, gets up, and goes over to the tent.
-
New scene. Inside the tent. Jack is lying down inside the tent, shirt off. He eyes Ennis as the latter enters the tent. Ennis kneels before him, hat in hand. Jack takes the hat and sets it aside. He caresses Ennis and they kiss.
Jack: I'm sorry... (He cradles Ennis in his arms) Lie back... Come on...
-
New scene. Inside the tent. Jack is lying down inside the tent, shirt off. He eyes Ennis as the latter enters the tent. Ennis kneels before him, hat in hand. Jack takes the hat and sets it aside. He caresses Ennis and they kiss.
Jack: I'm sorry... (He cradles Ennis in his arms) Lie back... Come on...
<^( <^( <^(
-
Ennis lays his head on jack's chest as Jack makes a slightly rocking motion.
They make love.
New Scene. In camp. Jack and Ennis are horsing around. They embrace and fall to the ground. They kiss... They...
All the while, Aguirre spies both of them through his binoculars...
-
New scene: In camp. Ennis has gone up to the sheep. Jack is chopping wood. Joe Aguirre rides up on his horse and 'fixes Jack with his bold stare."
Joe: Twist, your Uncle Harold's in the hospital with pneumonia. Docs don't expect he'll make it. Aguirre pauses for a moment, then continues: You ma sent me to tell you...so here I am.
-
Jack: Bad news. There ain't nothin' I can do about it up here, I guess...
-
Aguirre (coldly): Ain't nothing you can do about down there neither, not unless you can cure pneumonia.
Aguirre gives Jack a cold look. Then Aguirre lifts his binoculars to his eyes and looks toward where the woolies are pastured and sees Ennis riding his horse. Aguirre lowers his binoculars and gives Jack another cold look, then turns and rides off.
-
Jack also looks up the mountain towards Ennis, where Aguirre was just lookin', pauses for a moment in thought, wondering what else Augirre's been lookin' at with his "big ass pair a binoculars".
As Augirre rides off Jack goes back to splitting wood.
-
New Scene. Ennis and Jack in camp, just when a hailstorm descends upon them. They seek shelter inside the big tent.
Jack: G*ddamn! Jesus!
-
Ennis and Jack look through the tent flap at the hailstorm. Ennis (worried): Them sheep'll drift if I don't get back up there tonight.
-
Jack, shouting to be heard above the storm: You'll get pitched off your mount in a storm like this and wish you hadn't tried..close it up!
-
They close the tent flaps and we see no more... :P
New scene. Ennis and Jack and some Chilean shepherds are surveying their 2 flocks intermingled. Ennis and Jack look on from their mounts while the Chileans argue.
Ennis (to Jack): Well... what're we supposed to do now, huh?
-
JACK: Get on in there - an untangle them Chilean sheep outta' ours I guess.
-
Change of scene: Ennis is still on horseback, but Jack is walking around on the ground separating Aguirre's flock from the Chilean flock.
Jack is dragging a sheep across the pasture: Damn, half the god*amn paint brands have worn off!
-
Ennis: We gotta try...the least we can do is get the count right for Aguirre...
Jack, still dragging one of the sheep: F**k Aguirre!!!!
-
Ennis: Oh yeah... f*** Aguirre... whut if we need to work for him again, huh? You think o' that? We gotta stick this out, Jack!
-
New scene: Beautiful sunset, our boys on a horseback, riding, Jack is playing his harmonica...Ennis looks at Jack with his gorgeous smile and says:
You'll run them sheep off again if you don't quiet down.

Jack smiles back at him and keeps playing....
-
New scene: Up where the woolies are pastured. It's early August. Ennis is sleeping in the pup tent. Ennis wakes up shivering and then crawls out of the pup tent. He stands up and stops in his tracks for a moment. Although it is only EARLY AUGUST the first snow has come early. Ennis is standing in calf deep snow. Ennis starts moving around trying to keep warm.
-
New scene: Jack is dismantling the tent. Ennis rides into camp, gets off his horse and walks over to Jack.
Ennis, looking puzzled: What are you doing?
-
-Jack:-Aguirre came by again. Says my uncle didn't die after all. Says bring them down.
-Ennis :-Bring them down? Why? It's the middle of August.
-
Jack glances at Ennis, but continues dismantling the tent: Says there's another storm coming, moving in from the Pacific...worse than this one.
-
Ennis (still can not believe he has to leave and getting more and more angry) : Why that snow barely stuck an hour...besides that sonofabitch is cuttin' us out of a whole month's pay...it ain't right...
-
Jack continues to pack up while Ennis rambles around in his rant.
JACK: Well, I can spare you a loan bud if you're short on cash. Give it to ya' when we get to Signal.
ENNIS: I don't need your money, - huh? You know I ain't in the poorhouse. (kicks at the snow in his frustration) Shit!.
JACK: (looking confused by Ennis's rancorous reply) Alright.
Ennis is so frustrated he seems beside himself, throws a piece firewood.
Would hit something (Aguirre) if he was there.
-
Jack finishes packing the tent and supplies. He saddles up his horse then looks around for Ennis.
Ennis is sitting alone up at the top of the hill. Jack takes his rope and walks up the hill towards Ennis.
Jack: Time to get going, Cowboy.
-
Jack puts his lace around Ennis body,who pulls it out from him.He begins to walk before Jack,who puts again the lace around Ennis foot,who falls on the ground.Then,Ennis throws from the lace,making Jack falling at his side.
-Ennis :Come here. This ain't no rodeo, cowboy!
-Jack(while he's falling) :Oh, Shit!
What we would believe was going to be a love game,turns into a quarrel.Both fall down the mountain's slope.
-
Ennis and Jack roll on the ground, grapple for each other. Grunts and groans can be heard along with the sound of their bodies hitting the ground and each other. Finally they rise up, Jack slips and catches Ennis's nose, blood flows everywhere, they separate. Jack sees Ennis's predicament goes to his side to calm and comfort the huffing, snorting Ennis, puts his arms around him, tries to stanch the blood with his sleeve.
JACK: Ennis. Ennis. Come here, you're OK, you're OK.
Ennis, upset, dazed, and still confused launches a surprise strike at Jack sending him reeling and groaning to the ground. Ennis picks up his hat, looks down at Jack, walks away.
-
New scene. Ennis and Jack are bringing the sheep back. Ennis and jack are hardly looking at each other. Ennis (wearing his spare shirt) shows a sheepish hint of regret on his face, while Jack (with the big bruise given to him by Ennis) looks impassive but sad. Jack spits.
-
New scene:Jack and Ennis are waiting while Chilean shepards are counting the sheep.Aguirre approaches to them,who don't look at each other,and tell them:
-Some of these never went up there with you. Count ain't what I'd hoped for, neither. You ranch stiffs, you ain't never no good.
-
New scene: Signal, Wyoming
Jack is sitting in his truck, Ennis is standing in front of the truck leaning into the engine, helping Jack get the truck to start.
Ennis: give her some gas...
-
Jack's truck starts in a roar, Ennis slams the hood shut, goes 'round the side of the truck where his flour sack of clothes lays on the ground, picks it up, begins rummaging through it.
ENNIS: Can't believe I left my damn shirt up there.
-
Jack:-Yeah... You gonna do this again next summer?
-
Ennis: Well... maybe not... Like I said, me and Alma's gettin' married in November. So I'll try to get somethin' on a ranch, I guess... And you?
-
Jack: I might go up to my daddy's place, give him a hand through the Winter. Jack pauses then continues: Or I might be back (Jack gives Ennis a hopeful look) if the Army don't get me.
-
Ennis (squinting in the sunlight to hide his unease and sadness): Well... I guess... see you around, huh?
-
Jack: Right.
Ennis turns and walks away. Jack quickly gets into his truck and drives away.
Jack sees Ennis in his rearview mirror.
-
A short vignette with virtually no dialogue, as laid out by Annie Proulx:
Within a mile Ennis felt like someone was pulling his guts out hand over hand a yard at a time. He stopped at the side of the road and, in the whirling new snow, tried to puke but nothing came up. He felt about as bad as he ever had and it took a long time for the feeling to wear off . . .
Ennis pounds the wall of the alley where he kneels with his bare fists. First cursing and shouting, eventually crying and sobbing. A lone cowboy wanders by, looks at the crumpled Ennis wondering whether to help him or not. Ennis shouts in anger:
What the fu*k you lookin' at, huh?
-
New scene. At Ennis's and Alma's wedding ceremony. The pastor and the congregation are saying the Lord's Prayer:
Everyone: . . and forgive our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory, forever.
-
The Pastor: Under the powers vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss your bride...
then adds in a joking manner: and if you don't I will.
Ennis and Alma smile and kiss one another gently, Ennis caressing Alma's cheek with his thumb.
-
New scene.We see Alma and Ennis playing in the snow;they fall laughing.
Ennis(caressing Alma's face): -You're all right ? Huh?
He begins to put snow all over her cap and face.
Alma(laughing):-No...Stop! No please, don't!
-
Ennis affectionately touches Alma's nose.
New scene. Ennis is laying asphalt on a road with another worker.
Worker: My old lady's tryin' to get me to quit this job! Says I'm gettin' too old to be breakin' my back shoveling asphalt... I told her: strong backs & weak minds runs in the family. (Laughs.) She didn't think that was too funny. I told her: it keeps me fit!
Ennis, distracted. looks out in the distance, clearly thinking of someone else...
-
New scene: Riverton, WY.
Ennis and Alma are sitting in a pick-up truck at a drive-in movie. Ennis has his arm around Alma. Alma is about 6 months pregnant. Alma feel the baby move and takes Ennis' hand and places it on her belly so he can feel the baby. Ennis smiles at Alma.
-
New scene: Aguirre's trailer in Signal, WY. Aguirre is sitting at his desk.
Jack Twist walks in.
Aguirre looks up at Jack: Yeah?
-
Aguirre: Well look what the wind blew in...
Jack: Hi, Mr. Aguirre. I was wondering if you was needin' any help this summer...
-
AGUIRRE: You're wastin' you're time here.
JACK: You ain't got nuthin', nuthin' up on Brokeback?
AGUIRRE: (gives Jack the evil eye) Ain't got no work for you.
Jack stops, thinks for a moment, nods his head, begins to get Aguirres drift and moves to leave the trailer . . . just before he reaches the door, he stops, turns around to Aguirre . . . his curiosity gets the better of him. He can't resist asking about what he's been thinkin' about all day (all week, all year) . . .
JACK: Ennis DelMar ain't been around has he?
-
Aguirre looks at Jack angrily.
-You boys sure found a way to make the time pass up there.
Jack realises then that Aguirre saw them in their happy times on BBM.He looks devastated.
-Aguirre:-Twist, you boys wasn't gettin' paid to leave the dogs babysit the sheep while you stemmed the rose.(He makes a pause and looks at Jack even more angrily).Get the hell out of my trailer.
Jack leaves the trailer,humiliated and sad...
-
New Scene: Alma is putting up some laundry to dry. She spies Ennis's truck approaching from the distance...
then we see her in the kitchen, she scrubs clothes on the washboard. Ennis approaches Alma from behind and puts his hands on her shoulders.
Ennis: How are my girls doin'?
-
Alma: Alright... Jenny's still got a runny nose...
-
Ennis looks out the kitchen window briefly before he walks to the back of the house towards the girls' bedroom. He gives Junior a kiss before he goes over to the cot to pick up the crying baby. As he tries to soothe the baby, Junior gets out of her little bed and runs towards Ennis, arms out, also wanting to be picked up. Alma calls out: Ennis, could you wipe Alma Jr's nose?
-
Ennis: If I had three hands I could! (He gathers the girls in his arms) Come 'ere... come 'ere... Uh! Uh!
-
Next scene. Ennis, now in pajama bottoms and sleeveless t-shirt, comes into the bedroom sits on the edge of the bed. The pajamas stretch down and we see :d) . . .
Alma comes in behind Ennis, puts her arms around him in a recreation of the dozy embrace . . .
ALMA: Girls alright?
ENNIS: Yeah. Jenny stopped her coughin' . . . Ah should take the girls inta' town this weekend get 'em an ice cream . . . sumthin' . .
-
Alma (embracing Ennis from behind and using all her powers of persuasion -- she whispers): Ennis! Can't we move to town? I'm tired of these lonesome ol' ranches... No one for Alma Jr. to play with... Besides... I'm scared for Jenny... scared if she has another one of them bad asthma spells...
-
Ennis: Rent in town is too high.
-
Alma (whispering conspiratorially into Ennis's ear): There's a cheap place in Riverton, over the laundomat... I bet I could fix it up real nice!
-
Ennis: I bet you could fix this place up real nice if you wanted to...
-
ALMA: Ennis . . .
ENNIS: (softly) Hmm?
ALMA: I know you'd like it too . . . a real home, little kids for the girls to play with . . . not so lonely like you were raised. You don't want it to be so lonely do you?
ENNIS: Come here . . . (pulls Alma to him, softly kisses her) ain't so lonely now is it? Hmm?
ALMA: Are you sure the girls are asleep?
ENNIS: Yeah. (they begin to make love)
ALMA moans: Come here. . .
Ennis strongly grabs Alma rolls her over, does quickly what she hated . .
ALMA groans: Ennis!
-
Next scene.We see a rodeo,where Jack rides.
-Speaker:-Let her rip and snort, boys! Jack Twist, hangin' on for dear life! And down he goes! Watch out there fella! He's comin' for you! Send in the clowns! Okay, a fine ride by Mr. Twist!
-
Speaker (continues): Four seconds for him... Give 'em a hand, folks! Our very own rodeo clowns!
-
Clowns do their duty and,after that,we see Jack in a tavern.He sees then Jimbo,one of the clowns who have helped him in the rodeo that day.
-Jimbo(to the barman):-Give us a beer, Doug!
Jack approaches to him,very friendly and smiling.
-Jack:-I'd like to buy Jimbo here beer! Best damn rodeo clown I've ever worked with.
-
Jimbo: No thanks, Cowboy. If I was to let every cowboy I pulled a bull off buy me a beer I'd have been an alcoholic long ago.
-
Jimbo notices Jack's meaningful and very "hungry" look. He grows uneasy. Finally, he says:
Jimbo: No thanks, cowboy... If I let every rodeo hand I pulled a bull off of buy me liquor, I'd have been an alcoholic long ago. Pulling bulls off you buckaroos is just my job... so save your money for your next entry fee, cowboy.
He moves away and joins others at the pool table, where whisperings and inquiries begin... All this Jack notices with growing unease...
-
Seeing this,Doug tries to emphatize with Jack and he asks him:
-You ever try calf ropin'?
-Jack:-Do I look like I can afford a fu**in' ropin' horse?
He leaves the money on the counter and goes.
-
New scene: Riverton, WY. 4th of July, evening. A crowded park. A small band is playing The Battle Hymn of the Republic.
Ennis (carrying Alma, Jr) and Alma (carrying Jenny) are walking through the crowded park. They are gathering to watch the 4th of July fireworks.
Ennis: We should move closer.
Alma: No, Jenny will get scared.
-
Two bikers sit immediately behind them and start a loud exchange...
Biker 1: Wooooowwweee! Look at this crowd! There's bound to be a lot of p*ssy on the hoof in a crowd like this!
-
Biker 2: All swelled up with patriotic feeling and ready to be humped like a frog.
-
BIKER 1: Where do ya’ figger the most pussy's at - Las Vegas or California?
BIKER 2: Ya’ make it between Montana or Wyomin’ – I'd take Wyoming.
Ennis, gently caressing baby Jenny's head, becomes annoyed listening to the vulgar discussion behind his family of women.
Finally looks around, politely asks the bikers:
ENNIS: Hey! - Ya’ might wanna keep it down, I got two little girls here . .
-
The bikers continue clearly looking for a fight .....
Biker 1: F*** you. Asshole. Probably quit givin' it to his wife after his kids was born.
Biker 2: You know what that's like.
Biker 1. Yeah.
-
Ennis hears their talk and begins to boil. Slowly he hands little Jenny to Alma and he turns to get up, Alma sees the determined look on his face says to him:
ALMA: Ennis, Ennis, just let's move, - OK?
By this time Ennis is not hearing what Alma says, has only one thing on his mind. As he rises the fireworks begin both inside and outside Ennis, the announcer shouts - There they go!! Ennis walks back to the foul mouthed pair as Alma picks up the girls, begins to move away . . .
ENNIS: Now I don't want any trouble from you, you need to shut your slop bucket mouth, ya' hear me?
-
BIKER 2: You oughta' listen to your old lady then.
-
ENNIS: Is that right?
BIKER2: Yeah, move somewhere else.
Ennis grabs biker2 throws him to the ground, and with his uncommonly quick reflexes, turns, throws his leg and kicks biker1 in the face knocking him out cold.
ENNIS: WHAT ABOUT IT? YOU WANNA' LOSE ABOUT HALF YOUR F**KIN' TEETH? - HUH!!?
BIKER2: Not tonight bud, I'd sure rather not.
Fireworks goin' off everywhere . . .

Nex scene.
In the rodeo,Jack is looking at a girl who is riding.The speaker talks:
-Here she comes, ladies and gentlemen! Oh boy, look at her fly! This is Lureen Newsome from right here in Childress, Texas! Come on, folks, she's gotta hear it, let's give her a big hand! She's turning on two! She's around three! Come on, folks! Help her home! Come on! Come on! And the time is 16 and 9!
-
Lureen loses her hat on the way out. Jack picks it up. Lureen rideas back to where jack is standing.
Jack: Ma'am.
He hands her the hat. Lureen takes it back, puts it back on her head, gives Jack a wink, and rides off.
-
New scene.Now,it's Jack's turn in the rodeo.
-Speaker:-Next up is an up-and-comer! Jack Twist from all the way up in Lightning Flat, Wyoming! He's onboard Sleepy today! Let's hope he's not! Okay! There they go, folks! And look at Sleepy go, boy! He's broke free today, folks! Come on, spin and spin and spin!
-
Jack runs to safety with a big smile on his face and is elated when he hears the Speaker say:
Speaker: I tell you, folks... that sure looked like the winnin' ride to me.
-
Later,in the tavern,Jack is looking at Loreen,who is talking with another cowboy.Jack asks the barman:
-You know that girl ?
-Barman :-I sure do. Lureen Newsome. Her dad sells farm equipment. I mean big farm equipment. Hundred thousand dollar tractors, shit like that!
-
Jack looks over at Lureen, Lureen is looking back at him, finely Lureen approaches Jack.
Lureen: What are you waiting for, cowboy...a matin' call? "s;"
-
New Scene. On the dance floor. Lureen and Jack are dancing.
No one’s gonna love you like me
No one else, can’t you see?
No one’s gonna love you like me
No one, no one.
No one else, can’t you see?
No one’s gonna love you like me
No one, no one.
I know sometimes you felt so lonely
I know you felt so sad and blue
But this time, you know I’m the only
Love for you that’s coming through
With everything I say and do
No one’s gonna love you like me
No one, no one.
I know sometimes you felt so lonely
I know you felt so sad and blue
But this time, you know I’m the only
Love for you that’s coming through
With everything I say and do
No one’s gonna love you like me
No one, no one.
No one, no one.
Lureen looks star-struck at Jack, while Jack taps his fingers on Lureen and returns the gaze. But when he is out of Lureen's view, we see Jack's face taking on a distant, remote, and sad look... He is clearly thinking of someone...
-
New scene.
Later that night. We see a flashy, red '65 T-Bird convertible driving down a dark, deserted backlot somewhere, slows to stop. Inside, Jack n' Lurreen (who's been driving) waste no time, start goin' at it hot n' heavy. Jack is almost pushed into the backseat by Lureen who jumps on him spreading his legs apart. Suddenly she pulls up, takes a breath, looks at Jack:
LUREEN: You don't think I'm too fast do you? Maybe we should put the brakes on?
-
-Jack(smiling):-Fast or slow, I just like the direction you're goin'...
Loreen takes her clothes off.
-Jack(surprised):-You are in a hurry...
-
Lureen: MY daddy's in a hurry, wants me home with the car by midnight
-
New scene. At Monroe's grocery in Riverton. Ennis enters in a hurry, looking for Alma. He has the 2 girls with him. He encounters Monroe.
Ennis: Hey Monroe!
Monroe: Hey Ennis.
Ennis: Is Alma here?
Monroe: She's in the condiments aisle.
Ennis (puzzled): the wut?
Monroe: Ketchup.
Ennis (smiles): Thanks!
-
-Alma Jr.( to Monroe) : Excuse us!
-Ennis : Yeah. Excuse me.
They arrived to the ketchup aisle in a hurrY.Alma seems very surprised to meet them there and then.
-Alma : Hey, honey! Honey, what are y'all doing here?
-Ennis : Big hurry. My boss called and, weel, he wants me to go up to the ranch.
-
Ennis continues: I guess all the heifers must have decided to calf at the same time. I figured I could drop the girls off with you.
Alma, as she takes Jenny from Ennis: Ennis...I...I've got a million things I've got to do before I can leave. I don't get off for another three hours.
Alma Jr, pulling at Alma's smock: Mama, I need crayons.
Alma: Not now, Alma.
-
scene continues . . . we watch as a little family drama plays out in this very public place, we hear shoppers talking in the background, the children (and Ennis) continue to fidget, Alma pleads her case . . .
ALMA: Ennis please, . . . you promised you'd take them tonight.
ENNIS: Alma, I can't afford not to be there when the heifers calve, probably be my job if I lose any of 'em.
ALMA: What about MY job?
Ennis says nuthin', draws back a bit, gives Alma a look, not totally unlike the look he gave the vulgar bikers on the Fourth of July.
-
-Alma(surrenders):-Okay, all right. I'll call my sister. I'll see if she can take them.
-Ennis:-All right. All right.(to the girls) You be a good girl for your mama, all right?(to Alma) I'll be half the night. Bring home some ground steaks if you think of it.
-
Ennis LEAVES. Alma looks tired and upset. At that moment, Alma Jr. tries to take a jar of peanuts from the BOTTOM row of a display of peanut jars and the whole display crashes to the ground. Broken glass jars and peanuts are all over the floor. Alma looks like she wants to cry.
Monroe, the store manager, comes running at the sound of breaking glass.
Alma (on the verge of tears): Monroe, I am SO sorry.
-
Monroe (understanding):It's okay. It's okay, Alma.
Alma : I'll clean this up just as soon as I call my sister to come get the girls.
Monroe (cleaning it all by himself) : Really, Alma, it's okay. I'll get it.
Alma(taking the girls with her) : Alma, come with me.
Monroe : Watch your feet!
-
New scene, the attractive bedroom of the Twist house. Lureen in bed with the new baby, we hear in the background Jack's voice: "Honey, I got a surprise for you" - and in walks Lureen's mother and father to see the baby.
Lureen's mom: I got two whole boxes of formula for you.
The ladies fawn over the baby, Mrs. Newsom asks her husband where the formula is.
Mr. Newsom: Oh hell, back seat a' the car where I left 'em. Rodeo can get 'em.
Newsom throws the keys at Jack without even looking to see if he gets them. Jack, who's caught off guard, misses the throw and they fall to the floor, he bends down and picks them up. Totally ignored by the Newsoms.
-
We see a sadly surprise on Jack's face when he gets the keys.Lureen realises it and look at him with a compassive look while Mrs.Newsome keep on talking.
Mrs.Newsome:-L.D., I can already see who little Bobby looks like.
L.D. : Good job, little girl. He's the spittin' image of his grandpa...L.D. :( to Jack ) Isn't he just the spittin' image of his grandpa?
Lureen : ...Yeah... Look at those eyes.
Jack feels ignored and depicted and prefers to get out of the bedroom to find the keys.
-
New scene: Riverton Wyoming
Ennis is driving his truck and pulls into the parking lot behind a Laundromat. Ennis gets out of the truck and walks up the back stairwell and enters his small apartment which is located directly above the laundromat. Alma is in the small kitchen cooking dinner. Alma, Jr. is standing in front a toy stove 'cooking.'
Ennis walks to the kitchen sink and starts to wash his hands.
Alma, standing at the stove, turns toward Ennis and says, "Ennis, you know somebody named Jack?"
Ennis, still washing his hands, stops moving and glances quickly at Alma, "I might. Why?"
Alma points at the kitchen counter, "You got a postcard...it come General Delivery."
-
Ennis picks up the postcard with a quizzical look on his face. Reads the card in silence.
Friend this letter
is long overdue.
Coming through
on the 24th.
Drop me a line
say if your there.
Jack
After reading the card, Ennis flips it over to see the back, then glances at Alma to see if she's been watchin'. Ennis studies the card again in some disbelief. Meanwhile Alma asks:
Is he somebody you cowboyed with, or what?
ENNIS: (still studying the card): No, Jack he rodeos mostly. We wus fishin' buddies.
Ennis leaves the kitchen.
-
He caresses the card with the top of his finger.Then, he writes in another card a lachonic:You bet. He writes Jack's address and goes to the Mail.
New scene:Alma is playing with the girls,while Ennis is waiting,sitting on the sofa,smoking and drinking beers without stopping.He's clearly nervous and excited.
-Alma:You can color that one, too.
Junior : I'll color the beach.
Ennis gets up and goes to the room his wife and daughter are.
-
Ennis, wearing his BEST blue and white striped shirt, walks from the living room to the kitchen to get another beer. As he walks back into the living room Alma says hopefully:
Maybe we can get a babysitter...take your friend to the Knife and Fork?
-
ENNIS: Naw, Jack ain't the restaurant type. More 'an likely just go out and get drunk. - If he shows.
Ennis, still nervously pacing about, finally sits at the window staring out with both concern and eagerness, lights another cigarette. Finally, late in the day he falls asleep in his chair as Alma and Jr. finish their dinner.
ALMA: Ok, take one more bite 'an then you're finished with dinner. (Jr. complies) There you got it, alright, your excused. (Jr. rushes off to play, Alma whispers) Please . . . Thank you.
Ennis wakes, hears a truck pull up outside, stirs from his chair . . .
-
Ennis looks out of the window and an incandescent smile suffuces his face when he sees Jack getting out of the truck. He rushes out, tucking in his shirt nervously. He reaches the upper landing and looks at Jack right below...
Ennis: Jack f*ckin' Twist!
-
From the SS (the description in the SS is so beautiful that I had to quote...) :
". A hot jolt scalded Ennis and he was out on the landing pulling the door closed behind him, took the stairs two and two. They seized each other by the shoulders, hugged mightily, squeezing the breath out of each other, saying, son of a bitch, son of a bitch, then, and easily as the right key turns the lock tumblers, their mouths came together, and hard....... his hat falling to the floor, stubble rasping, wet saliva welling......"
There is a pause after the initial embrace. Ennis looks around to see if anyone could see them, and then he shoves Jack up to the wall and kisses him passionately. Slight pause. Jack then shoves Ennis up to a post and kisses Ennis.
-
They both melt in one of the most passionate kisses we have could ever seen... (t) After that,Alma looks through the window to see them joined,blended,kissing and caressing each other...She is as stunned by what she has seen that she seems to be unable to breathe...Meanwhile,Jack and Ennis have separated from each other just the minimum to allow Ennis realise they are in the middle on the street.He separates himself from Jack,who is trying to kiss him again,but his love for him obliges him to caress him one more time and rub his nose against Jack's forehead,in a tender and loving gesture... (t) (t) (t)
-
New Scene. Inside the apartment. Ennis, still flush with excitement, tries to introduce Jack to a very disturbed Alma.
Ennis: Alma, this is Jack Twist. And Jack, this is my wife, Alma.
Jack (tipping his hat): Howdy...
Alma (tries to look nonchalant): Hullo...
-
A bay shouts in the inner room...
Jack : Oh, you got a kid.
Ennis : Yeah. I got two little girls. Alma Jr. and Jenny.
Jack : I got a boy.
Ennis : Yeah?
Jack : Eight months old. Smiles a lot. I married the prettiest little gal in Childress, Texas.
Ennis : Yeah?
Jack : Lureen.
Ennis smiles shyly looking at Alma,who keep on having a rather inexpressive face.It's obvious that all of them feels uncomfortable being together.
-
ENNIS: Me an’ Jack gonna’ head out an’ get ourselves a drink. Yeah.
ALMA: Sure enough.
JACK: Pleased to meet ya’ ma’am.
ENNIS: We might not get back tonight, we get to drinkin’ an’ talkin’ in all.
Ennis, radiating excitement and happiness, puts on his hat and heads quickly out the door.
-
Alma (in a last ditch effort to come between the 2 of them): Ennis, would you get me a pack of smokes...
Ennis (cutting her off): ...you need smokes... they're in the top pocket of my blue shirt... they're in the bedroom.
Ennis and Jack exit.
-
Next scene.It's already by night and the red lights of the Motel Siesta bright.Jack gets his face close to Ennis,smelling his hair:They're in bed,after having made love.
-Jack:-Four years, damn!
Ennis : Yeah, four years. Didn't think I'd hear from you again. I figured you were sore from that punch.
-
Jack: That next summer.. I drove back up to Brokeback... talked to Aguirre about a job and he told me you hadn't been back there -- so I left! Went down to Texas for rodeoin'... that's how I met Lureen! Made 2000 dollars that year bullridin' -- nearly starved! Lureen's old man... makes serious money -- farm machine business... course he hates my guts! ...
-
Jack smokes his cigarette and nodds with a sad expression on his face.
-Ennis : -And Army didn't get you?
-Jack : -No, too busted up. And rodeoin' ain't what it was in my daddy's day. Got out while I could still walk.
-
Jack pauses, and looks thoughtful. He moves his lips close to Ennis ear and says: Swear to God I didn't know we was going to get into this again.
Jack pauses again, then gives a little grin and says: Yes, I did. Red-lined it here all the way....couldn't get here fast enough. How about you?
-
ENNIS: Me?..........ah...well...ah...I dunno' know.
Takes a long drag.
-
Dear brokies, I have just now buy the sceenplay, in Vienna mast week..so I can't reply {b}
-
Dear brokies, I have just now buy the sceenplay, in Vienna mast week..so I can't reply {b}
OT: take your time, titabeille. ;)
-------------------------------
Jack (in a conspiratorial whisper): Old Brokeback got us good, don't it? ...
Ennis responds silently by gently shaking Jack's arm.
Jack (continues): What are we gonna do now?
-
Jack's question hits Ennis hard. Ennis looks bleak: Doubt there's anything we can do. I'm stuck with what I got here. Making a living's about all I got time for now.
-
New scene. At Ennis's apartment. Alma has clearly not slept all night. She is at the kitchen table. A few tears roll doen her cheeks. She hears a truck drive up and tries to make herself look reasonably composed...
Ennis comes in, clearly in a hurry...
Ennis (looks at Alma): Hey....
Ennis moves past Alma and continues talking...
Ennis: Me and Jack's headin' up in the mountains for a day or two... Do ourselves a little fishin'!
-
Alma, still in her nightgown goes over to the window, looks out, sees Jack, casually leaning against the truck, smokin' a cigarette like he's feelin' pretty good. Alma's who's apparently been up most of the night, looks frazzled. She seemingly wants to get a better look at and to scope out this Jack fellow . . .
ALMA: Ya' know your friend could come inside and have a cup a coffee.
Ennis is trying as quickly as possible to pull together some camping gear and get out,
wants little interaction with Alma right now.
ENNIS: Aw, he's from Texas.
ALMA: Texans don't drink coffee? (Ennis continues to pack up, grabs his fishin' gear)
You sure that foreman won't fire you for takin' off?
ENNIS: Ya' know that foreman, - he owes me. I, I worked through a blizzard last Christmas, ya' remember that?
'Sides, I'll only be a couple days.
-
Alma Jr.enters running in the room.
-Junior : Bring fish, daddy. A big, big one!
-Alma : ( to Junior ) Come here. (she takes the baby in her arms9.
-
Ennis : ( to Alma ) -Come here. See you Sunday, latest. (He kisses the baby and Alma on their cheeks,letting his wife embracing her daughter and crying).
Meanwhile,Ennis arrives to Jack's truck,all perky and only thinking in the couple of days he's going to spent with his lover.
-Jack:- I'm starvin'. Want to get somethin' to eat?
-Ennis : -Yup.
-
The boys head to the mountains in Jack's pickup as Alma peers from the apartment window, holding Jr., crying and waving goodbye.
The truck pulls up to beautiful mountain ledge, comes to a halt. We hear Ennis yell as he jumps out of the cab strippin' off his clothes:
Last one in . . .
The boys jump, naked and free, into the water below, come up whoopin' and hollerin'.
New scene later that evening, by the campfire, Ennis lies back studying the heavens with a look of sublime contentment.

Jack asks: Is there anything interesting up there in heaven?
-
Ennis: 'Just sending a prayer of thanks....' smirks.
<^(
-
Jack: For what?
Ennis (smiling): For you forgetting to bring that harmonica! I'm enjoying the peace and quiet.
-
You know, it could be this way. Just like this, always.
-
ENNIS: Yeah? . . how da' ya' figure that?
-
Jack (trying to hide very deep feelings about the subject but not completely succeeding): ... What if you and me had a little ranch somewhere... a little cow-and-calf operation... (his voice almost breaking) it'd be a sweet life. I mean -- hell -- Lureen's old man?... you bet he'd give me down payment if I'd get lost... I mean... he more or less already said it.
ENNIS
-
Ennis not smiling anymore... looks at Jack, and says with sadness:
No I, . . I told you, . . it ain't gonna' be that way.
sits close to Jack, but doesn't look him in the eye, continues . . .
Ya' know you, . . you got your wife n' baby in Texas, n, . . you know I got my life in Riverton.
-
Jack, now feelin' an' lookin' so dejected, he can't even look at Ennis, but says:
That so? You an' Alma, that's a life?
-
-Ennis( a bit angry):-Now you shut up about Alma. This ain't her fault.(Jack looks surprised for his lover's reaction,even sad). The bottom line is, we're around each other, and this thing grabs hold of us again in the wrong place, in the wrong time and we're dead.
-
A flashback scene. The Earl and Rich story is narrated. A young Ennis walks with his father and brother in a desolate place. The father shows his 2 sons the body of the dead Earl. The young Ennis's face reflects absolute horror and amazement.
The voice of Ennis: There were these two old guys... ranched up together down home... Earl and Rich. They was the joke of th' town, even though they were pretty tough old birds! Anyway... they found Earl... dead in an irrigation ditch... they took a tire iron to him... spurred him up and dragged him around by his d*ck till it pulled off...
-
Jack ( horrified): You seen this?
-
Ennis continues the story while Jack looks on in horror . . .
ENNIS:
Yeah, I wus what, nine years old. - My dad, he, he made sure me an' my brother seen it. Hell, for all I know he done the job.
Two guys livin' together? - No way. Ya' know we can get together once n' a while way the hell out in the middle a' nowhere . . . but . .
-
Jack(a little angry) : -“Once in a while”... every four !@#$ years?
Ennis : -Well, if you can't fix it, Jack, you gotta stand it.
Jack :-For how long?
Ennis : -As long as we can ride it. There ain't no reins on this one.
Ennis is on the verge of crying.Jack realises the effort that the words he has just said means for him and caresses his face tenderly.

New scene. Outside the riverton apartment. The two girls are on the swing. Alma and Ennis can be heard arguing. Alma storms out, followed by an angry but ineffectual Ennis.
Ennis: It's nearly suppertime... where the hell do you think you're goin'?
Alma: To work!
-
-Ennis : -I thought you had the day off!
-Alma :-Well, you thought wrong. (she keeps on walking fast while Ennis keeps on shouting).
-Ennis :-The girls need to be fed.
-Alma :-Well, you take care of it!
-Ennis : -Alma! Alma ¡
-Alma(without stopping,almost doubling the corner) : -Supper's on the stove.
-
The argument continues at full volume as Alma walks away to her grocery job (and Monroe)-
ENNIS: NO ONES EATIN' UNLESS YOU'RE SERVIN' IT!!
ALMA: I PROMISED TO TAKE THE EXTRA SHIFT.
ENNIS: F**KIN' TELL 'EM YOU MADE A MISTAKE THEN!!
GODDAMN IT ALMA!
ALMA!
Ennis walks back to the apartment, stops briefly at his two girls on their swing:
You girls need push or something?
Girls: No o o o o , , , ,
-
Ennis kicks a bucket in his way and storms up the stairs into the apartment.
New Scene. We see Jack demonstrating a new tractor to a group of potential customers and onlookers.
Jack: Listen to her purr, gentlemen! You ain't gonna get that with your Caddy! I told you what she could do... now let me show you...
Jack proceeds to drive the tractor.
-
Two farmers are watching at him from office window.
-Farmer : -Say, didn't that pissant used to ride the bulls?
-Farmer #2 : -He used to try.
Lureen,who is writing at her desk,get her head up by hearing them,but she doesn't say a word...
-
New scene. Alma enters the riverton apartment with a bag of groceries and the mail. She spies a suspicious postcard and reads it. It is from Jack, confirming their next "fishing" expedition. Alma hears Ennis parking his truck and quickly tucks the postcard back into the folds of the mail ads.
New scene. At the Newsome office. Lureen is at the desk adding numbers in the adding machine. Jack enters looking for something.
Jack: Honey... have you seen my blue parka?
-
-Lureen(without stopping writing and making counts) :-Last time I seen it, you was in it...day we had that big ice storm.
-Jack : -Well, could have sworn I seen it in here.
-Lureen : -You know, you've being going up to Wyoming all these years. Why can't your buddy come here to Texas and fish?
-Jack : -Because the Bighorn Mountains ain't in Texas. And I don't think that his pickup could make it down here, anyway.
-
Lureen (stalling): New model's coming in this week. REMEMBER? and you're the best combine saleman we got. The ONLY combine salesman, in fact.
Jack: I'll be back in a week. That is, I will be, unless I FREEZE. And, I might freeze unless I find that parka.
-
Lureen (in an exasperated tone): Well I don't have your goddamn parka... you know, you're worse than Bobby when it comes to losin' stuff.
-
-Jack : -Well, speaking of Bobby, did you call his school about getting' him a tutor?
-Lureen : -I thought you were gonna call.
-Jack : -I complain too much. That teacher don't like me.
-Lureen : -Right.
-Jack : -Now, it's your turn.
-Lureen :-Okay, fine. So I just...I'll call later.
-
Jack: Fine... (He approaches lureen and they part with a distant kiss) Bye. (He heads out through the door) I got fourteen hours of driving ahead of me.
Lureen (Suddenly exasperated): See now... it don't seem fair! You goin' up there two or three times a year, with him never coming down here. (Jack waves this off and is out.)
-
Next scene,at DelMar's home.Ennis is preparinghis baggage for one of his "fishing trips" while Alma is reading a magazine.
-Alma : -Ennis, they got an opening over at the power company. Might be good pay.
-Ennis : -Well, as clumsy as I am, I'd probably get electrocuted.
-Junior(the two girls are in next room) : -Daddy! The church picnic's next weekend. Will you be back from fishing by next weekend? Please, daddy? Please!
-Ennis : -Well, all right, as long as I don't have to sing.
-
Ennis grabs his basket off the table , preparing to leave.
Alma (sad and with irony in her voice): You forgetin' something?
-
Ennis grabs the fishing tackle box on the table beside Alma and is out. Alma assumes a thoughtful, melancholy air.
New Scene. By a river up in the mountains. Jack is breaking corn cobs into sections and throwing them into a pot of water under a fire. He spies Ennis parking his truck close by. He looks up and stands, his face incandescent with pleasure. Ennis gets out gets out with the equipment in hand. He looks bashful, but is smiling.
Jack: You're late!
-
Ennis, the immense pleasure of being with Jack beaming from his face, walks over to Jack and (in a scene where it is very difficult to hear the dialogue over the background music) holds out a paper sack with two cans.
ENNIS: Look what I brought.
JACK: Beans!
ENNIS: And I'm gonna fix 'em just the way you like.
-
Next scene.In a quick flash,we see Jack riding on a machine 8sorry,I don't know the name in English) with his son Bobby.He seems very happy to be with the boy.
-Jack : -There you go! No hands! It's all yours, buddy! It's all yours.
Meanwhile,at DelMar's home,both Alma and Ennis doesn't look very happy,rather bored and the girls are playing on the floor.
-Alma:-It's Saturday night, you know, we could still smarten up and head on over to the church social.
-Ennis :-That fire an brimstone crowd?
-Alma :-I think it'd be nice.
-
New scene. Ennis and Alma are having sex. Ennis commences penetration and Alma say...
Alma: Ennis... as far behind as we are on the bills... it makes me nervous not to take no precaution.
-
Ennis looks down at Alma, and by the look on his face we can tell whut he's thinkin': - "Huh?"
But what he says is:
ENNIS: If you don't want no more a my kids - I'll be happy to leave you alone.
-
Alma looks at him between angry and rejected,and proudly tells him:-I'd have them, if you'd support them.
Ennis,without a word,let her alone,then and goes to his place on the bed.Alma just turns off the light,in slence too.
-
New scene. The divorce court. The judge is finalizing the divorce. Alma and Ennis are both in tears, but Alma's tears are certainly tears of bitterness...

new scene: We see Jack's pickup flyin' down the highway into Wyoming. Jack behind the wheel, happy as a lark, listenin' to the radio, sings along and snaps his fingers:
JACK: "King a' the Road . . . "
-
Jack arrives where is Ennis waiting on foot,while the girls are on his truck.He goes down from his own truck with an immense smile and run to Ennis and they hug.Jack wants to kiss Ennis,but this one put his hands away and indicates the girls.
-Ennis :-What are you doin' here, huh?
-Jack : -I got your message about the divorce.
-
Jack puts his had behind Ennis's neck as it he was about to kiss him. Ennis nervously stops Jack and turns towards the girls back in his truck..
Ennis :Come here. Well, this here's Jack. Jack, these are my little girls. There's Alma Jr. and Jenny.
Jack :Hi.
Ennis :Say "hi", Girls.
Both :Hi!
-
Jack turns back to Ennis, still very excited, but a bit nervous now...
Jack: Got your card that the divorce came through... So here I am!
-
Ennis: Yeah...
Jack: Had to ask שbout ten different people in Riverton where you had moved to...
Ennis: Well...
-
Scene continues in one of the most difficult encounters between the two men. Ennis caught by surprise with his daughters and Jack so anxious and eager he can barely stand it.
They look directly at each other in silence for a few seconds, Jack quickly realizes he's not gonna get the welcome he was expecting and dreaming of, nervously continues:
JACK: I guess that I thought that this means that you'd . . . Jack shakes his head as if to say "you'd get outta' here"
Ennis looks down at the ground confused.
ENNIS: Jack I, . . . I don't know what to say, . . ah - see I got the girls this weekend . . (finally looks Jack in the eye) an' uh, . . jeez, ah, I'm sure as hell sorry, you know I am. See I only get 'em once a month, an I, I missed last month, so I just, . . . because a' the roundup . . so ah, . . . well . . . .
-
-Jack:-Yeah.All right.
Suddenly,Ennis remains looking at a trunk that is crossing the road,as if he was afraid of beeing seen talking with another man,Jack can't avoid to look at it too,sadly surprised.Passed this impass moment,Ennis seems to try and say something to his lover.
-Ennis:-Jack...
-Jack:-I'll see you next month,then.
-
New Scene. Jack is driving south. Music on the radio.
Go to sleep, may your sweet dreams come true
Just lay back in my arms for one more night
I've this crazy old notion that calls me sometimes
Saying this one's the love of our lives.
Cause I know a love that will never grow old
And I know a love that will never grow old.
When you wake up the world may have changed
But trust in me, I'll never falter or fail
Just the smile in your eyes, it can light up the night,
And your laughter's like wind in my sails.
Cause I know a love that will never grow old
And I know a love that will never grow old.
Lean on me, let our hearts beat in time,
Feel strength from the hands that have held you so long.
Who cares where we go on this rutted old road
In a world that may say that we're wrong.
Cause I know a love that will never grow old
And I know a love that will never grow old.
Jack wipes away the tears and a new look of determination takes over. He heads to Juarez, Mexico.
-
Jack,looking really sad,walks for a crowded,dark and poor street,full with children selling all kind of objects and with male whores.He stops before one of them.
-Mexican : -¿Señor?
Jack nodds and looses with the whore into the darkness of the street.
-
Music in the background! ;)

New scene: In a remarkable cinematic transition we next see Jack spooning gravy onto a roast turkey in his own kitchen. It's Thanksgiving Day at the Twist household. Jack picks up the turkey on it's silver platter and carries it to the dining room table where the family of in-laws are assembled, and as he sets it down on the table exclaims in pride:
JACK: Here we are!
-
Just before Jack can begin carving,LD Newsome stops him in his depictful way :
-L.D. : -Whoa there, Rodeo. The stud duck do the carvin' around here.
-Jack (with a shy smile and tring not to realise it) : -You bet L.D. I was just saving you the trouble.
While LD begins carving,Bobby is watching TV and not paying atention to anything,until his mother calls him:
-Lureen:-Bobby! If you don't eat you dinner I'm gonna have to turn off that television.
-Bobby : -Why, mama? I'm gonna be eating this food for the next two weeks.
-
Jack : Hey, you heard your mama. You finish your meal, and then you can watch the game.
Jack walks into the next room and turns the television set off. He walks back into the dining room and sits down.
-
LD stops carving the turkey and deliberately starts walking towards the TV.
Lureen: Daddy?! ... Daddy!!
LD switches the TV back on and walks back to the table.
LD: Hell! We don't eat with our eyes! You want your son to grow up to be a man, don't you, daughter? Boys should watch football!!
-
Jack walks towards the TV and turns it off while saying:
- Not until he finishes eating the meal that his mama took three hours to fix.
LD begins to walks again to turn the TV on,but Jack stops him in a very angry way.
-Jack:-Now you sit down, you old son of a bitch!
-
Jack is sitting at the table, furious. L.D. stops moving and stands with his back to Jack.
Jack: This is MY house! That is MY child! And you are MY guest. So sit down or I'll knock your IGNORANT a@@ into the middle of next week..."
L.D. is so surprised that he returns to his seat and sits down.
-
New Scene. Thanksgiving dinner at Monroe and Alma's house, dinner table with Monroe, Alma, Alma Jr., Jenny, and Ennis. Ennis all duded up with a good shirt, bolo tie, hair slicked back. Tension in the air as the family sits quietly, not much to talk about. Finally Alma Jr. looks at her mom nervously then looks at her dad,
ALMA Jr.: Daddy tell about when you rode broncs in the rodeo.
-
Ennis looks around, feeling uncomfortable suddenly put into the limelight, everyone waiting to hear his tale.
ENNIS: Ugh, . . . . It's a short story honey was only about three seconds I was on that bronc. Next thing I knew I was flyin' through the air - Only I was no angel like you an' Jenny here, I didn't have no wings. An' that's the story of my saddle bronc career.
Cowboy Ennis is clearly adored by his young daughters, while Alma looks on with some disgust. Meanwhile Monroe seems oblivious and cuts more turkey.
-
Next scene:Ennis and Alma are on the kitchen.He is helping her taking there the dirty dishes.
-Ennis :-There you go.
-Alma :-You ought to get married again, Ennis. Me and the girls worry about you bein' alone so much.
.Ennis : -Well, once burned...
-Alma : -You still go fishing with Jack Twist?
-Ennis(progressively uneasy) :-Not often.
-
ALMA: I used to wonder how come you never brought any trouts home - You always said you caught plenty and you know how me an' the girls like fish. So one night I got your creel case open, before you went on one of your little trips. Price tag still on it after five years. And I tied a note to the end of the line, it said "Hello Ennis, bring some fish home, Love Alma"
And then you come back lookin' all perky, an' said you caught a bunch of browns an' you ate them up. Da' ya' remember? I looked in that case first chance I got an' there was my note still tied there - that line hadn't touched water in it's life.
ENNIS: Doesn't mean nuthin' Alma.
ALMA: Don't try an fool me no more Ennis, I know what it means . . . Jack Twist . . . . . Jack Nasty. You didn't go up there to fish . .
Ennis becomes more and more agitated, can barely stand still as Alma lays out her story and accusations.
-
Ennis grabs Alma abruptly, hurting her in the process
Ennis (in a loud whisper): Now you listen to me... you don't know nothin' about it!
-
-Alma : -I'm going to yell for Monroe.
-Ennis : -You do it and I'll make you eat the f@#$ng floor.
-Alma (hysterical): -Get out!
-
Ennis runs out of the house hastily without saying a word,while Monroe and the girls watch him leave with a surprised look...
Jenny : Daddy?
Monroe : Alma?
Jenny : Bye, Daddy!
Junior : Bye!
-
Ennis's one-eyed pickup comes to quick halt in the wet blowing snow across the street from the Black & Blue Eagle Bar. Ennis gets out, intently heads directly to the bar door, oblivious to cross traffic. A passing flatbed truck hits the brakes, screeches to a halt just short of Ennis. The driver yells out at Ennis:
Hey asshole, watch where you're goin"!!
Ennis, in no mood to be chastised, heads to the drivers door an' begins swingin' at the unknown driver. The driver, bigger 'an Ennis, is caught by surprise and is momentarily at a disadvantage. But he quickly grasps the situation, jumps out of the cab, shouts at Ennis:
Jesus, - You stupid f**k!!
The driver begins pummeling Ennis, sending him to the ground. Picks him up, throws him against the truck, swinging all the time. Ennis clearly outclassed, ends up back on the ground while the bigger driver punches and drives home his point. Ennis groans and moans in pain.
-
New wordless scene. Music. We see Ennis and Jack together up in the mountains as the years go by. You can see that as the years go by, the long separations begin to take their toll. There is sadness as well as dissatisfaction in their looks.
New scene. By a stream. Ennis and Jack are cleaning the cooking utensils.
Jack: All I'm saying is... what's the point of makin' it? If the taxes don't get it, the inflation eats it all up!
Pause.
Jack (looks in the distance, clearly lost in thought): You should see Lureen, punchin' numbers in her adding machine, huntin' for extra zeros, her eyes gettin' smaller and smaller -- it's like watching a rabbit tryin' to squeeze into a snakehole with a coyote on its tail!
-
-Ennis : -That's some high class entertainment, if you ask me.
-Jack : -For what it's worth.
-Ennis:-You and Lureen, it's normal and all?
-Jack :-Sure.
-
Ennis: She don't ever suspect?
Jack shakes his head.
Ennis (continues): You ever get the feelin'... I don't know... uh... when you're in town... and someone looks at you... suspicious... like he knows? And then you go out on the pavement... and everyone's lookin' at you.. like they all know too?
-
-Jack : -Well, maybe you ought to get out of here, you know? Find yourself someplace different, maybe Texas.
-Ennis : -Texas? Sure, and maybe you can convince Alma to let you and Lureen adopt the girls. Then we could just live together, herdin' sheep. And it'll rain money from L.D. Newsome...and whiskey will flow in the streams. Jack, that's real smart.
-
Jack gets P.O'd. at Ennis's smartass answer - picks up a tin plate, shakes it at Ennis . . .
JACK: Oh hell. You wanna' live your miserable fu**in' life, go right ahead.
ENNIS: Fine.
JACK: I was jus' thinkin' outloud . . . (Jack storms off disgusted)
ENNIS: You're a real thinker' there . . . . goddamn . . . Jack fu**in' Twist got it all figured out . . .
-
New scene. A bar in Riverton. Ennis is drinking beer and smoking cigarettes. Cassie can be seen in the background at the jukebox. She plays the song:
About the time that Daddy left to fight the big war
I saw my first pistol in the general store
In the general store, when I was thirteen
Thought it was the finest thing I ever had seen
So l asked if I could have one someday when I grew up
Mama dropped a dozen eggs, she really blew up
She really blew up and I didn't understand
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand
The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand
My very first pistol was a cap and ball Colt
Shoot as fast as lightnin' but it loads a mite slow
Loads a mite slow and soon I found out
It can get you into trouble but it can't get you out
So then I went and bought myself a Colt 45
Called a peacemaker but I never knew why
Never knew why, I didn't understand
Cause Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand
The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand
Well I get into a card game in a company town
Caught a miner cheating I shot the dog down
Shot the dog down, watched the man fall
Never touched his holster, never had a chance to draw
The trial was in the morning and they drug me out of bed
Asked me how I pleaded, not guilty I said
Not guilty I said, you've got the wrong man
Nothing touched the trigger but the devil's right hand
The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand
At the start of the song, Ennis gets up to go to the bathroon. Cassie stops him.
Cassie: Just finished my shift. Wanna dance?
Ennis: I was just on my way to the...
Cassie (not taking any excuses, takes Ennis by the arm and leads him to the dance floor): Cassie... Cassie Cartwright.
They dance to the music. Clearly, Ennis DOESN'T know how to dance...
-
(thomas, - forgot a short line that shows one thing Ennis learned from Jack, how to say his full name) ;)
On their way to the dance floor -
ENNIS: Ennis . . . . DelMar.
-
-Ennis:-No more dancin' for me, I hope.
-Cassie (she sits down and begins to massage her feet): -You're safe.
-Ennis :-Yeah?
-Cassie : -My feet hurt.
-Ennis : -Hard work, is it?
-Cassie : -Yeah, drunks like you demanding beer after beer, smokin'. Gets tiresome. What do you do, Ennis del Mar?
-
(thomas, - forgot a short line that shows one thing Ennis learned from Jack, how to say his full name) ;)
On their way to the dance floor -
ENNIS: Ennis . . . . DelMar.
*o) Thanks jackster! :)
--------------
Ennis (thoughtful): Earlier today, I was castratin' calves.
Cassie makes a face, qand then suddenly puts both her feet on Ennis's lap.
Ennis (doesn't know if should be offended): What're you doin'?
Cassie (playing innocent): Tryin' to get a foot rub, dummy!
Ennis (suddenly smiles and begins to massage Cassie's feet): Alright... That good?
Cassie: Uh huh...
-
Next scene: Lureen and Jack are on a table with two friends,in what seems to be a restaurant during a party.The woman of the couple talks like a parrow:
Lashawn : -And the I pledged Tri Delt at SMU. And I sure never thought I'd end up in a poky little place like Childress. Then I met old Randall here at an Aggie game and he was an animal husbandry major. So we've been here for a month and he got the foreman job over at Roy Taylor's ranch. Like it or not, here I am!
Meanwhile,Randall,the husband,and Jack exchange some glances.
-
Lureen: You was Tri Delt? I was Kappa Phi myself.
-
-Lashawn : -Well, even though we ain't quite sorority sisters we just may have to dance with ourselves, Lureen. Our husbands ain't the least bit interested in dancin'. They ain't got a smidgen of rhythm between them.
-Lureen:-It's funny, isn't it? Husbands don't never seem to wanna dance with their wives. Why do you think that is, Jack?
-
Jack looks briefly at Lureen, turns away, brushes cigarette ash from his jacket: Don't ever give it any thought.
Asks LaShawn: Wanna dance?
-
-LaShawn:-Yes, thank you.
-Jack (to Randall): -Do you mind?
-Randall : -No, it's all right. Go ahead.
-Jack : -All right.
-LaShawn : -Pardon us.(She leaves the table altogether with Jack and they begin to dance.She keeps on talking):
-LaShawn:-Thank you for asking me to dance with you. I really appreciate that. Randall never does. Last time I did, I think it was our wedding.
-
LaShawn (just keeps on talking as she dances with a smiling Jack): It's a good thing you and Lureen happened to come along when you did, or else we'd still be stuck on the side of the road in that darn pickup! I told Randall we oughta take the car... of course, he never listens to me! He wouldn't listen to me if he was goin' deaf tomorrow! I told him it takes more than chewing gum and balin' wire to fix that pickup. Well, he's never been very mechanical, though...
-
Next scene:Jack and Randall are sitting on a bench,waiting for women to come back home.They begin to talk.
-Jack:-You ever notice how a woman will powder her nose before she goes to a party? And then she'll powder it again once the party's over? I mean, why powder your nose just to go home and go to bed?
-Randall : -Don't know. Even if I wanted to know, I couldn't get a word in with Lashawn long enough to ask. Woman talks a blue streak.
-
JACK: Lively little gal.
akward silence
JACK: You'll like workin' for Roy Taylor, he's solid, Roy.
RANDALL: Oh yeah, Roy, he's a good ol' boy.
-
(Randall stops fro a moment and after continues in a slower voice):
-He's got a little cabin down on Lake Kemp. Got a crappie house, little boat. Said I could use it whenever I want. We ought to go down there some weekend. Drink a little whiskey, fish some. Get away, you know?.
After what seems to be an innuendo,Jack remains surprised and doesn't says a word;soon,the two women appears talking again(or without stopping...).
-
Lashawn is talking all the time.
Lashawn: ...when I was right out of SMU I coulda had ma pick of pretty much any job in North Dallas... so ma pick was Neiman Marcus...( blah,blah,blah)...... we come here thinkin ranchin was still big hats and Marlboros... boy, were we behind the times!
The men rise, go to their wives, and go.
-
Next scene: Cassie,Jr. and Ennis are in a bar.
-Ennis:-Hey there, Junior. You ready?
The two women remain alone and time to confidences begin...
-Cassie : -What do you think? Your daddy ever gonna see fit to settle down again?
-Junior : -Don't know. Maybe he's not the marrying kind.
-
Cassie: You don't think so? Or you don't think I'm the one?
Jr: You're good enough.
Cassie (smiling): You don't say much...but you get your point across.
Jr: Sorry...I didn't mean to be rude.
-
Ennis returns from the jukebox to the table where Cassie and Junior are sitting.
ENNIS: Hi.
Cassie grabs Ennis's arm before he has a chance to sit down -
CASSIE: You're stayin' on your feet cowboy.
ENNIS: (to his daughter) 'Scuse me darlin'.
Junior watches forlornly as Cassie drags Ennis to the dance floor.
Ennis still doesn't like to, and can't, dance.
-
Next scene; Ennis and Jr. are in the pick-up,on their way to Alma and Monroe's home.
-Ennis:-So I'll pick up you and Jenny up next weekend, after church.
-Junior : -Fine. (She seems worried and uncomfortable.Ennis realises it).
-Ennis :-You all right?
-Junior : -Yes.
-Ennis : -Are you sure?
-Junior :-Daddy, I was thinkin', what with the new baby and all...Ma and Monroe have been awful strict on me. More on me than Jenny even. I was thinkin', maybe I could...Maybe I could come stay with you. I'd be an awful good help, I know I would.
-
Ennis (shake his head, looks clearly distressed): Now, you know I ain't set up for that. With the roundup comin'...I won't ever be home.
-
-Junior:-It's all right, Daddy.
-Ennis : -I'm not sayin' that I wouldn't...
-Junior : -It's all right. I understand.
-Ennis : -Well, see you on Sunday, then.
-Junior : -Bye.
-Ennis : -Bye, sweetheart.
-
Ennis drives off, a look of concern, maybe regret, in his face as he leaves his daughter.
New Scene. At a lake in the Wyoming mountains, night. Ennis and Jack sitting by the camp fire. Jack lights a joint, takes a hit, passes it to Ennis who's nursing a bottle of Old Rose whiskey.
JACK: Gonna' snow tonight fur sure.
ENNIS: Yup.
-
Jack (taking a side glance at Ennis): An' all this time and you ain't found nobody else to marry?
-
-Ennis:-I been puttin' the blocks to a good-looking little gal over in Riverton. She's a waitress. Wants to go to nursing school or somethin'. I don't know. What about you and Lureen?
-Jack : -Lureen's good at making hard deals in the machinery business but as far as our marriage goes...we could do it over the phone.
-
Jack continues: I kinda got a thing goin' with a ranch foreman's wife over in Childress...
I'm scared I'll get shot by Lureen or the husband, each time I slip off to see her.
-
The two men are smiling an' chuckling over Jack's admission, Ennis cracks:
ENNIS: Yeah, you probably deserve it. Huh?
Ennis looks at Jack and they both smile. While Ennis is still lookin' at Jack, Jack looks off to the distance, suddenly becomes somewhat serious . . . ponders his words long and carefully . . .
JACK: Tell you what, the truth is . . . . . sometimes I miss you so much I can hardly stand it.
Ennis, whose been watching Jack make this admission, seems genuinely moved and (in true Ennis fashion) is unable to call up any words with which to reply. Turns his gaze from Jack into the fire as if he's lookin' there for the words.
-
New scene. At night. We see Ennis and Jack asleep inside the tent. Jack is asleep on his side, and Ennis is also asleep with his arms around Jack.
-
Next scene;Ennis and Jack are packaging their things and putting them in their trucks.They both look worried and somehow sad.Jack turns to Ennis and begins to talk in a rather melancholic way.
-Jack : -I guess I'll head up on to Lightning Flats. See the folks for a day or two.
Ennis looks rather nervous,eating his nails and trying to say something that seems not to be able to be say out loud.
-Ennis : -There's somethin' I been meanin' to tell you, bud. Well, it's likely November before I can come out here again. After we ship stock and before winter feedin' starts again.
-
Jack stunned: November? What in hell happened to August?
Jack continues as he slams shuts the truck door: Christ, Ennis, you had a f***in' week to say some little word about this.
Ennis remains silent as Jack walks away from him toward the lake: And why is it we're always in the friggin' cold? We oughta go south where it's warm, you know. We oughta go to Mexico!
-
Ennis (trying to smooth things up):Mexico? Hell, Jack, you know me. About all the travellin' I ever done is around a coffee pot, looking for the handle.Come on, Jack. Lighten up on me. We can hunt in November. Kill us a nice elk. I'll try if I can get Don Wroe's cabin again. We had a good time that year, didn't we?
Jack (with a bitter voice) :There's never enough time, never enough!
---
(owh, the confrontation is so heartbreaking...sigh....)
-
Jack turns around to face his friend and lover
Years of frustration begin to boil over
JACK: Ya' know friend, this is a goddamn bitch of an unsatisfactory situation.
You use ta' come away easy . . . now it's like seein' the Pope.
Ennis, not clear as to where this discussion is goin' -
ENNIS: Jack I gotta' work, huh? In them earlier days I'd just quit the job.
You . . . . You forget what it's like bein' broke all the time.
Jack turns away, doesn't want to hear Ennis's excuse.
-
-Ennis:- You ever hear of child support? I'll tell you this, I can't quit this one...and I can't get the time off. It was hard enough gettin' this time. The trade-off was August. Well, you got a better idea ?
This has been the phrase-key for Jack.He turns his face to Ennis and says bitterly:
-I did, once.
-
ENNIS (agitated): You did once......
You been to Mexico, Jack? I heard about what they got in Mexico for boys like you..
-
The men are staring hard into each other eyes now, as Annie says, trespassing in the shoot 'em zone.
JACK: Hell yes I been to Mexico. - Is that a f**kin' problem?
-
Ennis looks Jack straight in the eye. : I've got to say this to you one time, JACK F*CKIN TWIST, and I ain't foolin'. What I don't know...all them things I don't know...could get you killed if I should come to know them.
Ennis spits on the ground, turns his back on Jack and starts walking away.
-
Jack replies angrily: Yeah, well try this one...and I'll say it just once..
Ennis turns around and says: Go ahead!
Jack with bitterness in his voice: Tell you what...we coulda had a good life together, a f***in real good life...had us a place of our own...but you didn't want it, Ennis!
Jack continues as he turns and throws his arms up: So what we got now is Brokeback Mountain...everything's built on that!
-
Jack continues his tirade at Ennis:
JACK: That's all we got boy, fu**in" all, so I hope you know that, if you don't never know the rest.
Ennis turns away, mutters something only the horses can hear, Jack continues, comes up behind Ennis while shaking his fist at him.
You count the the damn few times that we've been together in nearly twenty years, an' you measure the short fu**in' leash you keep me on, an' then you ask me about Mexico an' you tell me you'd kill me for needin' somethin' I don't hardly never get.
Jack is lookin' directly at Ennis, Ennis is unable to return the stare, with his back to Jack he looks at the ground and listens to Jack's story of their lives.
-
Jack continues agitated more and more ...:
You have no idea how bad it gets!!!! I'm not like you I can't make it in a couple of high altitude f*cks once or twice a year..You're too much for me Ennis, you son of a whoreson' bitch....
Jack turns toward the lake saying bitterly:
I wish I knew how to quit you..
...................
sigh...
-
All of a sudden,by hearing these words,Ennis turns his face and we can see he's crying:
-Ennis : -Then why don't you? Why don't you just let me be, huh?
In a less rough tone:
-It's because of you, Jack, that I'm like this! I'm nothing... I'm nowhere...
Meanwhile,Jack has also turned his face to Ennis and sees how devastated his lover is.He forgets his sorrow for a moment and walks to Ennis.
-
Ennis's emotions get the better of him, he groans - Argh . . .
Jack's bitter anger fades quickly into pity and he moves to the sobbing Ennis, tries to put his arms around him.
Ennis explodes, pushes Jack away, shouting . . . Get the f*** off me!!!
Jack redoubles his efforts as Ennis collapses to the ground, Jack's arms encircle him.
Ennis continues to groan and sob, Jack quietly reassures him with the same words he used when Ennis came to him SNIT.
JACK: It's alright, it's alright . . . . . Damn you Ennis
ENNIS: I can't stand this anymore Jack . . .
What Jack remembered and craved in a way he could neither help nor
understand was the time that distant summer on Brokeback when Ennis had come
up behind him and pulled him close, the silent embrace satisfying some
shared and sexless hunger.
They had stood that way for a long time in front of the fire, its
burning tossing ruddy chunks of light, the shadow of their bodies a single
column against the rock. The minutes ticked by from the round watch in
Ennis's pocket, from the sticks in the fire settling into coals. Stars bit
through the wavy heat layers above the fire. Ennis's breath came slow and
quiet, he hummed, rocked a little in the sparklight, and Jack leaned against
the steady heartbeat, the vibrations of the humming like faint electricity
and, standing, he fell into sleep that was not sleep but something else
drowsy and tranced until Ennis, dredging up a rusty but still usable phrase
from the childhood time before his mother died, said, "Time to hit the hay,
cowboy. I got a go. Come on, you're sleepin on your feet like a horse,"
and gave Jack a shake, a push, and went off in the darkness. Jack heard his
spurs tremble as he mounted, the words "See you tomorrow," and the horse's
shuddering snort, grind of hoof on stone.
Later, that dozy embrace solidified in his memory as the single
moment of artless, charmed happiness in their separate and difficult lives.
Nothing marred it, even the knowledge that Ennis would not then embrace him
face to face because he did not want to see or feel that it was Jack he
held. And maybe, he thought, they'd never got much farther than that. Let
be, let be.

-
This devastated (and devastating) scene joins inmediately with another one from the old good times in BBM; we see Jack half slept while Ennis approaches to him and holds him from behind.
-Ennis:-Come on now, you're sleepin' on your feet like a horse.My mama used to say that to me when I was little.And sing to me.
He begins to whisper a song; we can see them on their feet,strongly united.Their bodies are moving softly one against the other.
-Ennis:-I got to go. See you in the morning.
-
The young Jack gazes lovingly at the departing Ennis. The scene changes to the present: we see the aged and disillusioned Jack gaze with "empty" and sad eyes at the departing Ennis (driving away in his truck). The contrast could not have been greater.
-
New scene...at the Greyhound bus station in Riverton...Ennis sits alone in the cafeteria, eating apple pie. Cassie comes in with Carl and sees Ennis.
Cassie (to Carl): Excuse me..., and walks up to Ennis...
Cassie (to Ennis): Hey... Ennis Del Mar... Where ya been?
Ennis continues to eat, replies without looking at Cassie: Here and there...
-
-Cassie:-I left word for you with Steve at the ranch. And you must've got those notes I left at your place.
-Ennis:(signing at Carl with his head):Looks like I got the message, in any case.
-Cassie:-Carl? Yeah, Carl's nice. He even talks.
-Ennis (without letting his meal):-Good for you.
-
Cassie ( with tears in her eyes): Yeah... Good for me.
I don't get you, Ennis Del Mar...
-
Ennis: I'm sorry...I was probably no fun anyways, was I?
Cassie: Ennis...girls don't fall in love with fun.
Cassie gets up from the table, crying, and rushes off to Carl, and they both hurry out the door.
Ennis remains sitting, looking miserable and sad.
-
Next scene. :_(
Ennis goes out from the Post Office with some madazines and letters.One of them is a card he thinks is from Jack.When he reads it,he sees the word "Deceased" in red letters printed over it.
Time seems to stop for Ennis,who remains in the middle of the street looking at this word,as if he couldn't believe it...
-
New scene:
Phone ringing is picked up by Lureen: Hello?
Ennis: Hello...this is, uh, Ennis Del Mar, uh...
Lureen: Who...who is this?
Ennis: Ennis del Mar...I'm an old buddy of Jack's...
Lureen: Jack used to mention you...you're the fishin' buddy, or the huntin' buddy..I know that. Woulda let you know what happened, but wasn't sure about your name or address. Jack kept his friends' addresses in his head.
-
ENNIS: That's why I'm callin' - to see whut happened.
-
Lureen (talking as if she was reciting by heart) :
Oh, yeah. Jack was pumpin' up a flat on the truck out on the back road, when the tire blew up. The rim of the tire slammed into his face, broke his nose and jaw and knocked him unconscious on his back. By the time somebody come along, he'd drowned on his own blood. He was only 39 years old.
-
Ennis remains ashtonished,as if what he has just heard was a drema,or better a nightmare.He doesn't answer,he has no words...
-Lureen:-Hello? Hello? Hello.
Ennis returns to the bitter reality,although he's on the verge of crying.
Ennis:-Was he buried down there?
-
Lureen: We put a stone up...he was cremated like he wanted. Half his ashes was interred here, the rest was sent up with his folks. He used to say he wanted his ashes scattered on Brokeback Mountain, but I wasn’t sure where that was..I thought Brokeback Mountain might be around where he grew up. Knowing Jack it might be some pretend place...where bluebirds sing and there’s a whiskey spring.
-
ENNIS: No ma'am, we wus herdin' sheep . . . on Brokeback one summer . . . . back in '63.
As Ennis reveals this to Lureen, we see her face in close-up.
She says nothing at first, but a faint little groan escapes her lips
as the realization of the true meaning of Brokeback to Jack becomes clear to her.
Tears well up in her eyes,
Finally she says:
LUREEN: Well, he said it was his favorite place. I thought he meant to get drunk, he drank a lot.
-
-Ennis:-Is his folks still up in Lightning Flat?
-Lureen : -They'll be there till the day they die.
-Ennis : -I thank you for your time. I sure am sorry. We was good friends.
-Lureen : -Get in touch with his folks. I suppose they'd appreciate it if his wishes was carried out. About the ashes, I mean.
She hangs on the phone almost abruptly.Ennis remains some moments silent,as trying to understand what has happenned still...
-
New scene: Lightning Flat, Wyoming. Ennis' old pickup truck pulls up at the Twist homestead. Ennis gets out, looks around. Jack's ma looks out the door window, then comes out, stands alone welcoming Ennis. Scene moves indoors, we see Ennis sitting quietly with old man Twist at the kitchen table.
From the kitchen Ma Twist asks: Want a cup a' coffee don't ya, piece of cherry cake?
Ennis: Yes ma'am, I'll have a cup of coffee, but I can't eat no cake just now.
-
(Ennis keeps on talking,but words barely go out from his throat)...I feel awful bad about Jack.(to Mrs.Twist when she gaves him the cup of coffee): Thank you. I can't begin to tell you how bad I feel. I knew him a long time. I come by to say that if you want me to take his ashes up there on Brokeback, like his wife said he wanted to, then I'll be happy to.
-
Jack's father spits in his cup, then says angrily: Tell you what...I know where Brokeback Mountain is...he thought he was too goddamn special to be buried in the family plot.
-
John Twist continues his vitriol . . . .
TWIST: Jack used to say . . . Ennis Del Mar - he used to say . . . I'm gonna' bring him up here one a' these days - an' we'll lick this damn ranch into shape.
Ennis smiles slightly at these words, looks Twist right in the eye with this revelation.
Had sum half-baked notion the two a' you was gonna' move up here, build a cabin, help run the place . . .
Ennis now looks down, realizing that Jack's "sweet life" was going to be right here.
Twist spits into his coffee cup (again)
Then this spring, . . got another fella' gonna' come up here with 'em . . . build a place, help run the ranch. Some ranch neighbor a' his from down in Texas, gone split up with his wife an' come back here. So he says. But like most a Jack's ideas, never come ta' pass . . .
Ennis suddenly turns ashen, realizes the depth and meaning behind John Twist's words.
Slowly, gently, a hand from above comes down to rest on Ennis's shoulder.
-
It's Mrs Tiwst.Ennis looks at her at the verge of crying.
-Mrs.Twist (in a sweet tone):-I kept his room like it was when he was a boy. I think he appreciated that. You are welcome to go up to his room, if you want.
-Ennis : -Yeah, I'd like that. Thank you.
-
New scene. Ennis goes up the stairs of the Twist home. He turns right and enters jack's room. He surveys it at a glance. The austerity and melancholy of the place is overpowering. He looks at the items on Jack's desk (rocks, school books, etc.) and picks up a toy figurine of a cowboy (reminding us of an earlier one carved by Ennis). Suddenly, tears well up in Ennis's eyes. He needs air. He opens the window and props it up and sits down, gazing out...
-
From the ShortStory:
The window looked down on the gravel road stretching south and it occurred to him that for Jack's growing up years that was the only road he knew.
Ennis sits for a just moment looking out the window, seems to regain his composure. Then the scene cuts to a view from inside Jack's closet looking out at Ennis. He turns his gaze from out the window and looks across the room into the open closet as if he hears something. Gets up from the stool and in his slow limbering gait walks over to the closet where he first looks at (and feels) one of Jack's old coats, then sees Jack's old boots in the corner, kneels down picks one up briefly, examining it as if to see if Jack were inside. Ennis notices a little nook in the corner of the closet and a shirt hanging hidden there . . .
-
For his face,we see how surprised is Ennis when he finds Jack's shirt and more still when he realises that,inside it,there's his own shirt,the one he believed he had lost in BBM.He catches them smelling Jack's,as if was trying to find his scent on it;he takes an sleeve and squeezes it with passion,meanwhile an almost inaudible "I love you" comes from his lips.

-
New scene: Ennis has come down the stairs and is holding the 2 shirts. As he walks past Pa Twist he clutches the shirts, fearing that he would not be allowed to keep them. He makes a gesture to Ma Twist, seeming to ask if he could have them. She gently nods her head and fetches a paper bag. She slips the shirts into the bag, pausing briefly before she puts them in.
-
JOHN TWIST: Tell you what, we've got family plot and he's goin' in it.
-
Ennis is still so full of emotion he can barely speak, eyes reddened from the events upstairs. Looks first at Ma' Twist who is clutching her throat, then past her to John Twist as he speaks, then back to Ma' Twist with a deep look of knowing resignation.
ENNIS: Yessir.
JACK'S MOTHER: You come back and see us again.
Ennis looks into her eyes and acknowledges her request. Turns, picks up his hat and exits the front door. Ma' Twist follows him to the door. Once outside, and away from John Twist, Ennis turns around to Mrs. Twist, gestures with the sack of shirts:
ENNIS: Thank you ma'am for everything.
The two exchange another long moment of eye contact before Ennis slowly turns, heads for his pickup. Away from the house Ennis pauses briefly to take in the landscape of the place, glances up to Jack's room and the open window. Then continues his journey home.
-
Next scene.Ennis is putting a number on his mail box when,suddenly,the noise of a car coming catches his attention.He looks at it to see that it's Junior in a brand new car.He approaches to her.
-Ennis : -Hey there, Junior.
-Junior : -Hey, Daddy.
-Ennis : -Come here.
They embrace.
-Junior : -Like the car?
-
Ennis: Yeah...is it yours?
Junior: It's Kurt's.
Ennis: I thought you was seein' Troy.
Junior: Troy!?! Daddy, that was two years ago...
Ennis: Is Troy still playin' baseball?
Junior: I don't know what Troy's doin'...I'm seeing Kurt now...
-
Ennis:Well, what does Kurt do?
-
-Jr.:-Works out in the oil fields.
-Ennis : -So he's a roughneck, huh?
-Junior : -Yeah.
-Ennis : -I guess you're 19, you can do whatever you want. Isn't that right?
-Junior : .Sure.
-
New scene. Inside Ennis's trailer. Alma Jr. takes off her sweater and looks around while Ennis gets her some refreshment. Alma Jr. is struck by the austerity of Ennis's surroundings.
Alma Jr.: Daddy, you need more furniture...
-
ENNIS: Yeah, well, . . . ya' got nuthin' - ya' don't need nuthin'.
-
Ennis: So what's the occasion?
-
Alma Jr: Me and Kurt...we're getting married.
-
-Ennis :- Well...So how long have you known this guy for?
-Junior : -About a year. Our wedding will be June 5, at the Methodist church. Jenny will be singing and Monroe is gonna cater the reception.
-
Ennis, who seems to have been lost in thought, looks at Junior, asks: This Kurt fella...he loves you?
-
Alma Jr. seems startled yet deeply touched by this uncharacteristically emotional and personal question
JR: Yeah daddy, he loves me.
Ennis, after looking into Jr's. eyes for a moment, turns away to the window, his gaze becomes choked, distant.
He seems to be thinking of his love, Jack.
-
Jr., surprised and moved by his father's thoughfulness and sadness, tries to break his reverie...
Jr.: Was hoping you'd be there...
-
-Ennis (coming to reality): -Yeah. I think I'm supposed to be on a roundup down near the Tetons...You know what? I reckon they can find themselves a new cowboy. My little girl, getting married. Huh? (he fills two whisket glasses and cheers up); To Alma and Kurt.
-
Alma Jr smiles at this, clinks her glass with Ennis' glass and they both have a sip.
New scene: outside the trailer, Ennis watches as his daughter drives off in a cloud of dust, alone once again. He goes inside the trailer, hangs his hat up, notices that Alma Jr has left her jacket. He picks it up and hurries to the door, sees that Jr is long gone. He folds the jacket up, sniffs it briefly, goes to the closet. He opens the door and places the jacket on the top shelf.
There on the back of the closet door, we see the 2 shirts on a wire hanger suspended from a nail, but now Jack's shirt is tucked inside Ennis'. Next to them is a postcard of Brokeback Mountain, tacked to the closet door.
-
Ennis carefully buttons the top snap of Jack's denim shirt.
Stands back, looks at the ensemble, gives a little nod and through some stinging tears whispers:
Jack, I swear.
Ennis carefully straightens the postcard of Brokeback Mountain, closes the closet door.
We're left looking out the trailer window at the broad northern plains.
the epilogue from the SS:
Around that time Jack began to appear in his dreams, Jack as he had
first seen him, curly headed and smiling and buck toothed, talking about
getting up off his pockets and into the control zone, but the can of beans
with the spoon handle jutting out and balanced on the log was there as well,
in a cartoon shape and lurid colors that gave the dreams a flavor of comic
obscenity. The spoon handle was the kind that could be used as a tire iron.
And he would wake sometimes in grief, sometimes with the old sense of joy
and release; the pillow sometimes wet, sometimes the sheets.
There was some open space between what he knew and what he tried to
believe, but nothing could be done about it, and if you can't fix it you've
got to stand it.
-
(Bob Dylan - He Was A Friend Of Mine)
He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
Every time I think about him now
Lord I just can't keep from cryin'
'Cause he was a friend of mine
He died on the road
He died on the road
He never had enough money
To pay his room or board
And he was a friend of mine
I stole away and cried
I stole away and cried
'Cause I never had too much money
And I never been quite satisfied
And he was a friend of mine
He never done no wrong
He never done no wrong
A thousand miles from home
And he never harmed no one
And he was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
Every time I hear his name
Lord I just can't keep from cryin'
'Cause he was a friend of mine.
(Rufus Wainwright - Maker Makes)
One more chain I break
To get me closer to you
One more chain does the maker make
To keep me from bustin' through
One more notch I scratch
To keep me thinkin' of you
One more notch does the maker make
Upon my face so blue
Get along, little doggies
Get along, little doggies
One more smile I fake
And try my best to be glad
One more smile does the maker make
Because he knows I'm sad
Oh Lord, how I know
Oh Lord, how I see
That only can the maker make
A happy man of me
Get along little doggies
Get along little doggies
Get along
-
Replay from the start:
It's near dawn, a truck comes barrelling along the highway. As it get lighter, we see the truck coming into Signal. It comes to a screeching halt, Ennis jumps out of the cab, and the truck moves on. Ennis puts his jacket on, looks back to where the truck has driven off, and starts walking toward Aguirre's trailer.
-
Ennis pauses just beside the entrance to the trailer and makes himself comfortable, leaning on the outer wall and pulling the hat down on his eyes. we see him in this static pose as a train passes by. The big sky seems to dwarf everything else... Clouds drift solemnly in procession, marking the passing of time.
-
Ennis carefully takes half the cigarette he's been smoking, flicks the ash off the end, pinches-off the stub, and puts the remainder back in his pocket, saving it for later.
We hear an old pickup truck coming down the road, motor stumbling, sputtering, and backfiring. Ennis watches as the truck pulls into Aguirre's lot, comes to choked halt, tires spin against the brake, motor dies. Driver gets out, slams the door, kicks the fender, looks at the beast in desperation, mutters:
Shit!
-
Jack then spies Ennis watching him. Their eyes momentarily meet. Jack's gaze is transfixed, and he is about to make a move in the direction of Ennis. But Ennis quickly lowers his gaze, and Jack reads this as a kind of withdrawal/pulling back. Uncertain, Jack draws back, looks sideways, assumes a classic provocative pose beside his truck, takes one more intense look at Ennis before lowering his head...
-
Jack is shaving and gazing at Ennis through the rear-view mirror ...
Sound of a truck approaching, old station wagon stops about two feet from the steps of the trailer, Ennis jumps up to get out of the way.
Aguire: If you pair of deuces are lookin' for a job, I suggest you get your scrawny asses here, pronto.
-
Ennis and Jack hurriedly enter the trailer.
New scene. Inside Aguirre's office trailer. Aguirre positions himself beforehis desk, saying all the while:
Aguirre: Now up on Brokeback, the Forest Service got designated camp sites on the allotments. Them camps can be three-four miles from where we pasture the woollies... bad predator loss if there's nobody lookin' after them at night...
(He looks at Ennis and Jack before continuing.)
Aguirre: Now what I want (looking at Ennis) is the camp tender to stay in the main camp where the Forest Service says...but the herder (looks pointedly at Jack)... he's gonna pitch a pup tent on the QT with the sheep, and he's gonna sleep there... you eat your supper and breakfast in camp... but you sleep with the sheep, 100 percent! No fire, don't leave no sign... you roll up that tent every mornin' case Forest Service snoops around...
-
Aguirre's desk phone rings, he picks it up, snarls:
Yeah. . . . . No. . . . . No! . . . . Not on your fu**in' life!!
Meanwhile we watch the boys waitin', nervously standing in front of Aguirre. First Ennis takes a casual, quick peep over his shoulder at Jack who's standing behind him shufflin' around, selfconsciously lookin' at his feet. Jack doesn't see this (at least directly), but he then takes another much longer look at Ennis who's turned back around by now.
Aguirre's finished his call now, slams down the phone.
-
-Aguiire(to Jack):-You got your dogs, your thirty-thirty, you sleep there. Last summer I had goddamn near 25% loss, I don't want that again.
(to Ennis,throwing a watch):-You. Fridays at noon be down at the bridge with your grocery list and mules... and somebody with supplies will be there at the pick-up. Tomorrow morning we'll truck you up to the jump-off.
-
Aguirre moves on to make a call. Right before he dials, he looks up and glares at both Ennis and Jack. The latter pair wakes up as if in a dream, and hurridly gets out of the trailer office.
New Scene. Outside the trailer office. Jacks makes his move. He introduces himself to Ennis.
Jack (offers his hand): Jack Twist.
Ennis (curtly): Ennis.
Jack (smiling): Your folks just stop at Ennis?
Ennis (avoiding Jack's stare): Del Mar.
Jack: Nice to know you, Ennis Del Mar.
-
While he's saying these words,Jack addresses a meaningful glance to Ennis,from head to toe...
Next scene.We see both boys walking on the streets in a way that reflexs their respective way of being and seeing life;Jack walks before Ennis in an almost bold,careless way,while his new fellow walks looking at the floor shyly grasping a bag where he carries everything he owns.Later we see them in a tavern;Jack is drinking in a bottle of beer and begins to talk:
-My second year up here. Last year, one storm, the lightning killed 42 sheep. I thought I'd asphyxiate from the smell.
-
Jack continues: Aguirre got all over my ass like I was supposed to control the weather. But beats workin' for my old man. Can't please my old man, no way. That's why I took to rodeoin'. You ever rodeo?
-
-Ennis : -You know...I mean once in a while. When I got the entry fee in my pocket.
-Jack : -Yeah. Are you from ranch people?
-Ennis : -Yeah, I was.
-Jack : -Your folks run you off?
-
Ennis gives a summary of his life story:
No, they run themselves off. There wus, ah, one curve in the road in fortythree miles an' they missed it. So uh, bank took the ranch, an' brother an' sister they raised me mostly.
-
Jack: Shit...that's hard.
-
Ennis pulls out the half stub of a cigarette he earlier put in his coat pocket, turns to Jack, motions towards Jack's lighter and says:
ENNIS: Can I?
Jack, who's been staring off into space thinkin' of Ennis's revelation, suddenly stirs, hands him the lighter. Ennis fires up the stub.
-
New Scene. At the jump-off point. BBM looms in the background. The flock is being rounded up. Ennis talks with a basque about supplies...
Basque: Don't let them stray... Joe'll have your ass if you do. One thing... don't never order soup. Them soup boxes are hard to pack!
ENNIS Well, I don't eat soup...
-
Ennis, sees' that Jack is trying a new horse : You wanna watch it there! That horse has a low startle point.
-
Jack: I doubt there's a filly that can throw me. Let's git unless you wanna stand around tyin' knots all day.
-
Ennis remains with a face that seems to be thinking:-"Well,we're going to have a funny time...".
Next scene:We see Ennis and Jack driving the sheep to the mountain and after doing some "homeworks",like cutting some trunks,taking water buckets,cleanig sheep's hoof,etc.
-
*A moment of silence as we take in the beautiful music and the beautiful scenery*
Scene: Jack goes up to the sheep in the beaufiful fading light of sunset.
Scene. We see jack guarding the sheep in the dead of night. He peers down where the camp is located and sees the light from the campfire. He smiles and is comforted.
New Scene. In camp. Ennis is cooking breakfast -- heating cans of beans and frying stuff -- Jack has just arrived after a long night with the sheep.
Jack: Oh sh*t! Can't wait till I got my own spread and I won't have to put up with Joe Aguirre's crap no more!
-
Ennis: I'm savin' for a place myself...Alma and me...we'll be gettin' married when I come down off this mountain.
Jack continuing his complaining: That sleep with the sheep no fire bullsh*t...Aguirre's got no right makin' us do somethin' against the rules..
-
Next scene:Jack is going up the mountain on a horse that is a little nervous and makes some turns before he's away.Ennis remains looking at Jack as he's moving away and,even,he leans a little to see him better.Is he caring for Jack's integrity or maybe for anything else?...
-
A sequence of beautiful scenes with music. Jack asleep and a storm approaches. Ennis carving a figurine inside the tent during the rainstorm. Ennis washings the utensils and deliberately looks up to where Jack is tending the sheep.
Scene in camp. Jack is about to leave. He yells back at Ennis, who is cleaning up.
Jack: No more beans!
Scene with the sheep. Jack aims and fires at a cayote. He misses.
Jack: Dammit! Sh*t!
-
Next scene: Ennis is reuniting with the Basque shepard,a man of Aguirre,to gather the meal's command and charge the next one.He's looking for something.
-Ennis:-I don't know.
-Basque : -Something wrong?
-Ennis : -Yeah, so what... Why didn't we get the powdered milk and the spuds?
-Basque : -That's all we got!
-
Ennis: Well...here's next week's...he gives the list to the Basque
Basque, after looking at the list: Thought you didn't eat soup...
Ennis: Yeah, well, I'm sick of beans.
Basque: Too early in the summer to be sick of beans.
Ennis does not reply to the Basque.
Ennis starts leading the mules away: Come on...
-
We see Ennis heading backto camp with supplies. We hear music ("Sreets of Laredo") in the background.
New scene. Ennis is by a stream. He is confronted by a bear. The horse rears in alarm and throws Ennis off his saddle. The horse and the mules go off. Supplies scatter in all directions. Ennis, momentarily stunned and injured by the fall, vainly tries to get the mules to come back and collect the scattered supplies.
Ennis: Hold it... Whoa.. Sh*t! ... Come back here! ...
-
Next scene, we see Jack ride into camp late in the day, expecting dinner, he looks around for Ennis but sees him nowhere. Eventually sits down, builds a fire, does a little drinkin'.
As he sits in front of the fire, he hears the approach of a horse, turns and sees Ennis's arrival in the dark.
ENNIS: Whoa there, whoa! (as he dismounts) Argh, f**k it.
Jack, angrily tosses down the whiskey, gets up, approaches Ennis:
JACK: Where the hell you been? Been up with the sheep all day, get down here hungry as hell and all I find is beans.
Ennis storms past Jack muttering in disgust, Jack sees the bleeding injury on Ennis's head and is startled. Turns to Ennis:
JACK: What in the hell happened Ennis?
-
-Ennis (rather angry): -I come on a bear is what happened! Goddamn horse spooked and the mules took off...and scattered food everywhere. Beans is about all we got left. Got whiskey or something? Dumb-ass mule! I can't believe that...God damn.(he mutters as he drinks from the whiskey).
-
Jack realizing the severity of Ennis's injury takes off his own bandanna, soaks it in the hot kettle water, shakes out the excess and moves to begin tending the wound. Looking at Ennis's head wound Jack winces slightly as he moves the warm wet rag to the bleeding injury. Jack softly utters:
Lemme' see here . . .
and begins to daub the wound. Ennis jerks his head and quickly moves his hand up to Jack's to grab the rag, their fingers briefly intertwine as Jack passes the rag to Ennis. Jack continues to intently watch Ennis tend his bleeding head, this may be the first time he has an opportunity to look directly at Ennis's face without him realizing it. Suddenly Jack comes to his senses, sits back down, says:
Well we gotta' do sumthing 'bout this food situation.
Maybe I'll shoot one a' the sheep.
-
Ennis: What if Aguirre finds out, huh? We're supposed to guard the sheep, not eat 'em.
Jack, irritated: What's the matter with you? There's a thousand of 'em!
Ennis: I'll stick with beans...
Jack, determined: Well I won't...
-
New scene: Ennis is spying down the sight of his 30-30, Jack anxiously sitting at his side watching. Ennis fires, an elk drops. Jack is so excited he can barely stand it. Gives Ennis a big kiss - I mean shove, and exclaims:
JACK: Whoee!! Yeah!!
Ennis responds in kind, pushing Jack back on his butt.
ENNIS: Gettin' tired a' your dumbass missin'.
Jack starts to laugh, as does Ennis, Jack regains some composure, gets back up to Ennis and with his face only inches from Ennis's face an' says:
Let's get a move on, don't want Game an' Fish to catch us with no elk.
Both boys get up slappin' and punchin' each other in joy.
-
New scene: Night on Brokeback
A campfire is burning and Jack and Ennis are sitting in silence, clearly enjoying eating the freshly cooked elk meat.
-
JACK complaining..: Arghh, ugh. . . . yeah, I'm commutin' four hours a day, I come in for breakfast, I go back to the sheep. Evening get 'em bedded down, come in for supper, go back to the sheep. Spend half the night checkin' for damn coyotes'.
slams his rifle down next to Ennis to get his attention, continues... Aguirre got no right ta' make me do this!
-
Ennis continues cookin' the meal, finally speaks without lookin' up:
ENNIS: You wanna' switch - I wouldn't mind sleepin' out there.
JACK: That ain't the point, point is we both oughtta' be in this camp. Goddamn pup tent smells like cat-piss or worse.
ENNIS: Wouldn't mind bein' out there.
-
Jack seems pleasantly surprised for Ennis offer.He can't avoid an smile while he's answering his friend.
-Jack:-Well, I'm happy to switch with you but I warn you, I can't cook worth a damn. I am pretty good with can opener, though.
-Ennis:-You can't be no worse than me, then.
-
Next scene: Ennis is preparing to ride up to the sheep, having switched roles with Jack...
Jack: You won't get much sleep, I'll tell you that.
Ennis, ready to go: Yup. (to his horse ) Come on...
Jack watches Ennis ride off...
-
New scene (before the YUMMY one!) jack is opening a can of beans while Ennis is undressing.
Ennis: Shot a coyote up there... big son of a bitch... balls on him size a apples! Looked like he could eat himself a camel! You want some of this hot water?
Jack spills a bit of the contents of the can onto himself. He is abashed and irritated by his clumsiness. Not that good with a can opener!
Jack (exasperated): It's all yours...
-
Next scene(precisely the yummy one¡ >:D).We see Jack's face in first place who is peeling some potatoes; meanwhile,and not very far from him,we see also Ennis-in a half blurred view-who takes his trousers off and begins to wash himself.We can verify that Jack is anxious to take a glance at his desired friend ; he swallows nervously twice and we would even say that he looks at Ennis indeed in a shy and quick way once.
-
always loved they way Annie described this scene:
. . . I'm goin' a warsh everthing I can reach," he said, pulling off
his boots and jeans (no drawers, no socks, Jack noticed) . . .
You bet he noticed. :d) Sorry OT.
-
New scene: Jack has just finished urinating and zips up.
Ennis, as he finishes his can of beans: Mmmmmmm...
As Jack walks back to the campfire, he taps his rodeo belt buckle and shows it proudly to Ennis.
Ennis: Don''t rodeo much myself... I mean... what's the point of ridin' some piece of stock for 8 seconds?
-
Jack: Money's a good point!
Ennis: True enough... if you don't get stomped winnin' it, huh?! (Jack pours Ennis some more whiskey) Thank you.
-
-Jack : -Yeah. Well, my old man, he was a bull-rider.Pretty well-known in his day. Though he kept his secrets to himself... Never taught me a thing, never once come to see me ride. Your brother and sister do right by you ?
-Ennis : -They did the best they could after my folks was gone. Considering they didn't leave us nothing but twenty four dollars in a coffee can. I got me a year of high school. That was before the transmission went on the pickup.
-
Ennis continues: My sis left...married a roughneck...moved to Casper. Me and my brother...we got ourselves some work on a ranch up near Worland until I was 19 and then he got married. No more room for me. That's how come me end up here....
Ennis notices that Jack is looking at him: Whut?
-
Jack, who's been listening to Ennis's tale, now looks him in the eye, with a friendly but quizzical look:
JACK: Friend, that's more words than you spoke in the past two weeks.
Jack cracks a sly little smile at Ennis who, catching Jack's interest, smiles back, wisecracks:
ENNIS: Hell, that's the most I spoke in a year.
After a looking intently at each other for few seconds, they both seem to become a little uncomfortable with this new visual intimacy. Ennis tries to lighten the mood, lays some bait for Jack:
ENNIS: Now my dad he, he was a fine roper. Didn't rodeo much though, he thought rodeo cowboys wus all f**k-ups.
-
Jack, smiling: The hell they are!
-
Ennis, the >:D seeing he got Jack to take the bait, is smiling to himself, goads him so more, gives Jack a look:
ENNIS: Ungh, well.
-
Jack raises the whiskey bottle toward his mouth while eyeing Ennis suspiciously.
He has no idea what I am capable of. I bet I can surprise him by showing him just how f**ked up I can get. Hell, I might even make him laugh.
Jack doesn't take his eyes off Ennis, touches the rim of the bottle to his lips and tilts his hand.
-
Jack jumps all of a sudden,approaches to Ennis while he shouts ostentatiously:
-Jack:-Yiiihaaah!!!
-Ennis (between surprised and amused):-There you go.
Jack begins to jump and dance while he sings a...song?:
-I'm spurring his guts out! Waving to the girls in the stands! He's kicking me to high heaven, but he don't jackboard me! No!
-
Ennis, smiling as he watches Jack fall over in the supplies: I think my dad was right...
-
In the next scenes,we see both boys driving the sheep herd,or making some works in the campfire.In one of them,Jack is carrying a trunk,and Ennis approaches to him,putting his hand on his shoulder. <^(
After that,Ennis is arranging the tent,while Jack is leaned playing his harmonica.
-Ennis (while he's warming himself by the bonfire):-Tent don't look right.
-Jack:-Well, it ain't going nowhere. Let it be.
-
Ennis: That harmonica don't sound quite right either...
Jack: That's 'cause it got kinda flattened when that mare threw me...
-
-Ennis:-Oh yeah? I thought you said that mare couldn't throw you.
-Jack (petulantly) :-She got lucky.
-Ennis :-Yeah, well, if I got lucky, that harmonica would've broke in two.
Jack stops playing the harmonica and laughs with the most charming laugh one can heard... <^(
-
Ennis squats and holds his hands over the fire, warming them.
Cut away to a shot of a nearby mountain. A wisp of cloud hangs across its flanks. At upper elevations, clouds begin to form and roil across the muted blue sky. The temperatures will drop tonight for sure. ;)
-
Around the bonfire,Jack is singing while Ennis hits the iron over it to sound like a drum.
Jack:- I know I shall meet you on that final day.
Water Walking Jesus,
take me away!
Ennis:-Very good.
-
Close-up of Ennis and Jack sittin' by the fire enjoying themselves as Jack finishes his song.
Jack lets out a groan, obviously pleased with his own singing too.
Takin' the whiskey bottle back from Ennis, he says knowingly:
JACK: My momma' - she believes in the Pentecost.
ENNIS: Oh yeah. . . . . Whut exactly is the Pentecost? I mean, my folks they, they wus Methodists.
JACK: The Pentecost . . (Jack stops to thinks for a second) . I don't know . . . I don't know what the Pentecost is, (Ennis gives Jack a suspicious look) Mom never explained it to me. I guess . . . it's when the world ends an' fellas' like you an' me - we march off ta' hell.
-
Ennis smiles at Jack and says: Speak for yourself. You may be a sinner, but I ain't yet had the opportunity.
Jack nods, passes the bottle of whiskey to Ennis: Hmmmmmm
Ennis, taking the bottle: Thank you.
-
After this little flirting on the part of Ennis,we can see how the hours have passed in joy and friendship between them.Both are rather drunk and suddenly,Ennis realises it's too late and he must go and take care of the sheep.
-Ennis:-Shit ! I'm gonna go up to the sheep now.
-Jack : -Give them hell.
-Ennis : -No, I'm...
-Jack(insisting) :-You can hardly stand. It's too late to go to them sheep.
-
Ennis,on his fours, too drunk to even stand :) mumbles :
You know what? I reckon...ee.. it's too late to go up to them sheep...
you got an extra blanket? I.... I'll just roll up out here..eeee.. grab forty winks..,..eee, ride out at first light.
-
Jack goes to the tent and brings out a blanket, hands it to Ennis: You'll freeze your ass off when that fire dies down.
-
Jack seems lost in thought for a brief second. How can I convince him that we need to cuddle?
"Better off sleeping in the tent," he persuades.
With a wave of his hand, he gives up. If any cuddling is going to take place with this stoic campmate, he will have to get good and cold first. I'll take my chances and hope for a drop in temperature.
Jack enters the tent.... alone...
-
A few hours pass, the fire indeed does dies down and Ennis is freezin'. His shivering, snorting, an' groanin' finally wakes Jack in the tent. Realizing he can't go back to sleep with all of Ennis's racket, Jack opens the tent flap and yells:
JACK: ENNIS!
ENNIS: Wha?
JACK: Quit your hammerin' an' get in here!
Ennis, in no mood to argue now, gets up with his blanket, and in the dark makes his way to the tent knockin' over pots and pans on the way and even causing an' owl to hoot at him. With some rustling around of the bedroll the boys make themselves comfortable in the tent. Try to get back to sleep. More time passes and Jack wakens, stirs a little . . . realizes it's gotten so cold that sumthin' froze up hard as rock . . .
-
*o) I can't imagine what could be as hard as a rock...Everything,it was so cold... #)
Jack reaches Ennis' hand and places it on his crotch. Ennis,who is half slept,when he realises where his hand is jumps immediately...Both are one before the other,looking each other at their eyes.Jack grabs Ennis hand again-even if this one was rather willing to repeat...-and we can imagine where this hand is...Then,he takes his jacket off.
-Ennis (at last talks,with a half slept and half drunk voice,something similar to): -What are you doin'? $)
-
There is a flurry of scrambling activity! Ennis tries to push Jack away. A fight is going to break out! They scuffle, grabbing each other's heads and holding on for dear life. Ears are squished and mashed. They shift so fingers can knead the hot sweaty backs of their necks. Jack breathes into Ennis's face.
Ennis thinks: It's not so cold in here anymore.
Jack thinks: I wonder what's going to happen next. I sure hope Ennis knows a lot about animal husbandry.
-
They climax, and Ennis collapses on Jack.
New scene. the morning after. Ennis awakens in the morning light. It is relatively late. He clearly has a slight headache. For a moment, he glances at Jack and is unsure. But he notices that his pants are down and realizes that it wasn't a dream after all. He pulls up his pants, buckles his belt, and goes out...
-
... to make sure the .30-30 is loaded.
He cocks the rifle.
As Jack emerges from the tent (looking kinda mussed and sexy with his shirt untucked <^(), he puts his hat on.
The rifle continuously impedes our view of Jack, until Ennis mounts Cigar Butt.
Jack says, "See you for supper." Not really a question, not really a statement, not really a declaration of undying eternal love.
-
Ennis mounts Cigarbutt, gives Jack a quick confused glance, turns and prompts the horse to gallop off back to the sheep
ENNIS: He-ah, cum on.
Jack watches a conflicted Ennis ride off, not for the first nor last time.
Back on the mountain Ennis begins his survey of the sheep, hears one of the blue-heelers whine, gallops over to find the half eaten carcass of a sheep that the coyotes got to in the night while he was f**king Jack. The look of deep misgivings and confusion show on his face.
Meanwhile Jack, the dutiful camptender, is washing clothes while sunbathing :d) - maybe he's hoping that Ennis would unexpectedly ride back to camp in the middle of the day.
The scene changes to later in the day, we see Jack stretched out up on the mountain lookin' at the sheep. Ennis comes up beside him with his rifle. Ennis watchin' the sheep, Jack watchin' Ennis.
-
Confused,Ennis sits near Jack,but without hardly daring to look at him.Jack looks worried and takes some glances to his friend.
-Ennis:-This is a one-shot thing we got going on here.
-Jack : -It's nobody's business but ours.
-Ennis:-You know I ain't queer
-Jack : -Me neither.
The scen ends with a view of both boys from behind,looking at the horizon and lost in their thoughts...
-
New scene: It's dark, Ennis sits alone in front of the fire, Jack is inside the tent. We see Jack is getting ready for bed.
Ennis looks over at the tent, makes a decision, gets up, and goes over to the tent.
-
Jack is on the bedroll,thinking last events over.He looks surprised when Ennis enters into the tent.He gets up and looks directly at Ennis,who appears shy and fearful,without daring to giving his glance back.Jack takes Ennis hat off and caresses his face,while giving him a sexy and warm glance,full with love.He approaches to him to kiss him;at the first moment,Ennis is not willing to it and separates a little from his friend.But at the end,they exchange their first kiss. <^(
-
... a thin strand of glimmering saliva connects them to each other for a moment.
Then, the strand breaks.
-
-Ennis (for those who haven't heard it):-I'm sorry...I'm sorry...
-Jack:-That's all right...it's all right. Lie back. Come on.
Tenderly,Jack embraces Ennis while making him lie back over his chest.Ennis begins to caress and kiss Jack's body.Then Jack puts himself on Ennis top,keeping on kissing him.All the fears and doubts disappear in Ennis,who raises his head to kiss Jack in a strongest and deepest kiss this time... (t) (t) (t)
-
New scene. We see Ennis and jack from a distance. They are in the process of dressing or undressing (both of them are shirtless). They chase each other around and wrestle. Ennis manages to pin jack down and with a hat covering their faces, they kiss.
We are jolted by the realization that we are seeing things through Aguirre's binoculars...
-
Yikes!
Aguirre pulls the binoculars away from his face and scowls...
-
New scene, Jack's splitting wood, Aguirre on horseback saunters up to him, pulls to a halt.
AGUIRRE: Twist. Your Uncle Harold's in the hospital with pneumonia. Docs don't 'spect he'll make it. Your ma sent me to tell ya' - so here I am.
JACK: (shakin' his head) Bad news. There ain't nuthin' I can do about it up here I guess.
AGUIRRE: Nah, there's not much you can do about down there neither. (Aguirre lifts his glasses and takes a look at Ennis far up on the mountain tending to the sheep) Unless you can cure pneumonia. (gives Jack a stare)
Jack sees him spyin' at Ennis way up there and seems to have some thoughts an' concerns.
("does that dirty old Aguirre have eyes for my man Ennis?" >:( )
Aguirre gives Jack a look of contempt, turns and slowly rides off.
-
Jack turns his attention back to chopping wood, but mysteriously, the log is gone!
What could have happened?
Aliens?
New scene:
The sky is dark. Lightning! Thunder! Hail!
There's a storm brewing!
-
Jack and Ennis run to protect them inside the tent,because they're falling a hail like stones...
-Jack : -God damn. Jesus!
-Ennis : -Them sheep will drift if I don't get back up there tonight.
-Jack : -You'll get pitched off your mount in a storm like this. You'll wish you hadn't tried it! It's too cold, close it up!
And they surely find a good way to spend their time there... :*(
-
Later - new scene - (apparently Ennis was not pitched off the mount he found that night ^-^) morning on the mountain, sheep are milling everywhere, two Chilean sheepherders are "discussing" what do about their sheep that have intermingled with Aguirre's. In an uncharacteristic moment, Ennis looks befuddled and asks Jack for advice:
ENNIS: Well, whut a we supposed to do now, huh?
-
-Jack:-Get on in there and untangle them Chilean sheep out of ours, I guess.
So,we see them looking for their sheep; Ennis is on the horse keeping them united while Jack is carrying one.
-Jack:-Oh, where is it? Shit! God, half the goddamn paint brands have wore off!
-Ennis :- We gotta try. The least we can do is get the count right for Aguirre.
-Jack:-f*** Aguirre!
-Ennis : -Oh, yeah, f*** Aguirre. What if we need to work for him again? You think of that? We gotta stick this out, Jack!
-
...the first time Ennis says "Jack" in the movie :_(...
Apparently, the boys made quick work of sheep sorting, because now the sun hides behind a cloud and the day has worn on.
Jack rides his grullo with his left hand on the reins, the right hand on his harmonica, playing a friendly tune.
Ennis thinks: Multi-tasking- Jack does it right!
-
Ennis: You'll run them sheep off again if you don't quiet down!
Enni smiles, showing a rare but warm light-hearted side, while Jack continues playing...
-
Next scene:We see Ennis who is awakening in the tent up on the mountain.He is surrounded by snow and he's really frozing himself.He goes out from the tent,jumping covered with the blanket to avoid the great cold.
After that,we see him again going down to the campfire; the snow has fairly melted already.Jack is dismounting the campfire.
-Ennis:-What are you doing?
-Jack : -Aguirre came by again. Says my uncle didn't die after all. Says bring them down.
-
Ennis, in a puzzled tone: Bring 'em down? Why?...it's the middle of August...
-
Jack glances at Ennis, but continues dismantling the tent: Says there's another storm coming, moving in from the Pacific...worse than this one.
-
Ennis is pissed! He paces around angrily. (Who could blame him?!)
"Why that snow barely stuck an hour. Besides that sonofabitch is cuttin' us out of a whole month's pie. ;D
It ain't right."
-
Jack continues to pack up while Ennis rambles around in his rant.
JACK: Well, I can spare you a loan bud if you're short on cash. Give it to ya' when we get to Signal.
-
-Ennis : -I don't need your money, huh! You know, I ain't in the poorhouse. Shit!
-Jack:-Allright...
-
Jack finishes packing the tent and supplies. He saddles up his horse then looks around for Ennis.
Ennis is sitting alone up at the top of the hill. Jack takes his rope and walks up the hill towards Ennis.
Jack: Time to get going, Cowboy.
-
Jack throws his lasso around Ennis.
Ennis takes Jack's lasso off, stands up, and walks away, tucking in his shirt.
Jack swings his lasso on to the ground in front of Ennis who steps into it.
Jack pulls it tight causing Ennis to fall, says: there you go, and laughs.
Ennis pulls on the lasso, causing Jack to fall, replies: this ain't no rodeo, cowboy...
They begin to wrestle, Jack laughing, but Ennis more serious.
-
The two boys get into all kinds of semi-sexual, semi-violent wrestling and tumbling with chokeholds and head slamming. First Jack has the upper hand and is on top, then Ennis rolls him over and takes the top position, slamming Jack into the ground. Then Jack gets Ennis in a chokehold which brings them to their feet still entangled. As they break free Jack slips, accidentally bloodying Ennis’s nose with his knee. As soon as Jack realizes what he’s done he approaches Ennis, puts his arms around his head and tries to calm him and comfort him:
JACK: Ennis, Ennis, . . . Ennis. Come here – you’re OK, you’re OK.
He tries to stanch the blood with his sleeve as Ennis is snorting and puffing. He tries to shush Ennis. Ennis suddenly comes alive and, rearing back swings at the unexpectant Jack, knocking him on the ground.
JACK: grabbing his head Ohhhh. . . Ohhh. . . .
Ennis turns away, still snorting and spitting blood. Grabs his hat, glances at and then leaves the dazed and wounded Jack lying and moaning on the ground.
-
New scene:
The sheep are on the move, being brought down. The boys have changed their shirts ;).
Jack looks pissed (who can blame him!). He rides his grullo with his left hand on the reins. But their ain't no harmonica on this trip.
He works up a wad of saliva in his mouth and turns his head to spit on the ground right before Ennis crosses the same spot. When Jack turns his head, we notice that he has a bruise on his temple. It is the shape of a heart. <^(
-
Next scene: We see the sheep being counted by the Chilean shepards and Aguirre rather pissed,while the two boys are leaned on a fence.Both are very serious and silent;Aguirre speaks for them.
-Aguirre : -Some of these never went up there with you. Count ain't what I'd hoped for, neither. You ranch stiffs, you ain't never no good
-
As Aguirre bellyaches - both boys are deep in their own thoughts . . .
Jack: Hell I know a ranch stiff that did a fine job . . .
Ennis: Huh? Ranch stiffs? How the f*ck did Aguirre know?
Ennis takes a glance back at Aguirre wonderin’ WTF?
New scene Aguirre's parkin' lot, center screen we see Ennis’s blue jean covered butt :d) as he leans under the hood of Jack’s truck, he’s pretty sure he can fix it.
ENNIS: You wanna’ give it some gas . . .
Motor roars to life, Ennis slams shut the hood picks up his flour sack full of clothes.
-
Ennis says: "I can’t believe I left my damn shirt up there." Jack: "Ya." He leans on the door of the truck. " You gonna do this again next summer?". Ennis continues to search the bag and says: "Well, maybe not.Like I said,me and Alma’s gettin’ married in November.So...". Jack looks at him and and his eyes tell all. :_( Ennis: "I’ll try to get something on a ranch, I guess.You?" Jack: "Might go up to my daddy’s place.Give him a hand during winter.I might be back.If the army don’t get me." Ennis: "Well, I guess I’ll see you around, huh?" Jack : "Right." He bends his head.They look at each other, then Ennis goes with his bag. Jack entered the truck,drive it and bypasses Ennis.He looks into the mirror truck, sees him and sighed. His view is full of suffering and longing. :_(
-
The scene changes to an alleyway where we see Ennis pass by on the sidewalk, flour sack slung over his right shoulder.
But wait!
Something comes over him... he doesn't pass by.
Instead we realize he has lost the true love of his life, his eternal soul mate.
Unfortunately, Ennis just thinks he ate something bad in Dubois.
He steps into the alley, puts his left hand on the wall, hunkers down and begins to heave...
-
Ennis pounds the wall of the alley where he kneels with his bare fists. First cursing and shouting, eventually crying and sobbing. A lone cowboy wanders by, looks at the crumpled Ennis wondering whether to help him or not. Ennis shouts in anger:
What the fu*k you lookin' at, huh?
-
Next scene.Ennis is on the verge of making the greatest mistake of his whole life: to marry.
-Minister : -And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
-All : -Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, forever, Amen.
-Minister :-Under the powers vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride, and if you don't, I will.
All laugh and Ennis kisses Alma.Alea jacta est... :-\\
-
New scene. Ennis and Alma are sledding down a snowy hill. The sled overturns and both are toppled over.
Ennis: You alright?
They horse around and fling snow at each other
Alma: No! Stop! No! Please... don't!
-
New scene: Ennis is laying asphalt on a road with another worker.
Worker: My old lady's tryin' to get me to quit this job! Says I'm gettin' too old to be breakin' my back shoveling asphalt...I told her strong backs & weak minds runs in the family.
He laughs and continues: She didn't think that was too funny. I told her it keeps me fit!
Ennis, distracted, looks out in the distance but doesn't reply...
-
Next scene.Alma and Ennis are in the movies inside their car.
-Movie's dialogue:Morning...
Morning.
Pulled in last night? Didn't want to wake you up.
Oh no, I was just...
I thought I'd tell you before the Sergeant showed up. Parking this trailer on the beach is illegal.
Ennis has his arm around Alma,who catches his hand and puts it over her belly; she's pregnant.Ennis doesn't seem too moved... ;)
-
New scene:
Jack's crappy old black truck sputters its way down the street in Signal, Wyoming. He pulls right into the same parking spot he did last year. But, this year, there's no Ennis Del Mar waiting outside Aguirre's trailer :(
-
The old fat-assed Aguirre is sittin' at his desk readin' a magazine . . three bangs at the door . . .
AGUIRRE: Yeah? (the door opens and Jack Twist steps in) Well, look what the wind blew in.
JACK: Hi Mr. Aguirre. Wonderin' if you needed any help this summer.
AGUIRRE: You're wastin' your time here.
JACK: You ain't got nuthin' - nuthin' up on Brokeback?
AGUIRRE: Ain't got no work for you (gives Jack an evil stare).
Jack nods his head, thinks he understands the rejection notice he just got, heads for the door. Stops just short of the door, his curiosity and burning desire gets him (it's been a long truck ride, he needs relief), turns and asks Aguirre:
JACK: Ennis Del Mar ain't been around has he?
-
Aguirre smiles sarcastically and answers Jack's question in a rather depictful way:
-Aguirre : -You boys sure found a way to make the time pass up there. Twist... you guys wasn't gettin' paid to leave the dogs baby-sit the sheep while you stemmed the rose. Now get the hell out of my trailer.
Jack leaves the trailer humiliated and sad.
-
New scene. Alma puts out some of the newly wahed sclothes to dry and spies Ennis's truck approaching from a distance.
New Scene. Ennis enters the house and approaches Alma, who is wahing clothes by the kitchen sink. Ennis holds her from behind.
Ennis: How're my girls doin'?
-
-Alma:-All right. Jenny's still got a runny nose. Ennis, could you wipe Alma Jr.'s nose?
Ennis has enterd into the house and goes to children's room.The two little girls are crying and their father tries to hold and comfort both of them,with some difficulties.
-Ennis : -If I had three hands, I could! Come here, come here. Oh...
-
New Scene.
Ennis enters the bedroom after making sure that the kids are asleep. He is tired. Alma anters and hugs him from behind.
Alma: Girls all right?
Ennis Yeah... Jenny stopped her coughing ... Think I should take the girls into town this weekend... get 'em an ice cream or somethin'...
-
Alma, embracing Ennis from behind, whispers: Ennis...can't we move to town? I'm tired of these lonesome old ranches...no one for Alma Jr. to play with...besides I'm scared for Jenny... scared if she has another one of them bad asthma spells...
-
-Ennis:-No, rent in town is too high...
-Alma : -There's a cheap place in Riverton, over the Laundromat. I bet I could fix it up real nice.
-Ennis : -I bet you could fix this place up real nice if you wanted to.
Alma keeps on kissing and caressing him from behind.
-Alma : -Ennis?
-Ennis : -Hmm?
-
ALMA: I know you'd like too. A real home. Kids for the girls to play with. Not so lonely like you were raised. You don't want it to be so lonely do you?
ENNIS: Hey, come here. (Ennis starts to gently kiss and caress Alma) Ain't so lonely now is it?
ALMA: Are you sure the girls are asleep?
ENNIS: Yeah. (Ennis begin to make love to her, reaches up and clicks off the light (so he can imagine it's Jack? ???))
ALMA: (begins to pant with excitement, reaches for Ennis) Come here . .
(Ennis flips her over, does what she hates, Alma moans) Ennis!
-
Next scene.We see Jack rodeoing.The speaker announces him:
- Let her rip and snort, boys! Jack Twist, hangin' on for dear life! And down he goes! Watch out there fella! He's comin' for you! Send in the clowns! Okay, a fine ride by Mr. Twist!
-
Speaker continues: Four seconds for him. Give 'em a hand, folks, our very own rodeo clowns!
-
New scene later that day in the rodeo bar. Jack Twist sitting by himself lickin' his wounds and drinkin' beer. Sees one of the good looking rodeo clowns, one that saved his ass earlier in the day, sit down across the bar. Jack saunters over to him, looks at the barkeep:
JACK: I'd like to buy Jimbo here a beer. Best damn rodeo clown I've ever worked with.
Jack cracks his best smile, Jimbo smiles back, then sees the look in Jack's eye.
The two look at each other with an uneasy electricity.
JIMBO: No thanks cowboy, If I'd let every rodeohand I'd pulled a bull off of buy me liquor I'd been an alcoholic long ago. Pullin' bulls off you buckaroos is just my job. Save your money for your next entry fee cowboy.
Jimbo puts down his money, looks Jack in the eye. Walks away over to the pool table with the other cowboys.
Jack sits dejected at the bar.
-
Jimbo points his thumb at Jack. Jack is eyed suspiciously by the pool players. For a second, we think he might get the crap beat out of him, but the tension is broken when the bartender speaks:
"You ever try calf roping?"
Jack rises and gives the bartender a look of disdain. "Do I look like I can afford a f***ing roping horse?"
(what the heck is a roping horse? other than something Jack can't afford? ??? )
Jack walks out of the bar giving us a nice view of his butt. :*(
-
Next scene: Ennis and Alma go to a country gathering with the little girls.They sit a little far from the crowd.
-Ennis:-Shouldn't we move a little closer?
-Alma : -No. Come on, let's don't. Jenny'll get scared.
All of a sudden,two bikers arrive and sit near the Del Mar family,beginning to say nonsenses and making a fuss.
-Biker 1 : -Look at this crowd. Bound to be a lot of pussy on the hoof in a crowd like this.
-Biker 2 : -All swelled up with patriotic feeling and ready to be humped like a frog.
-
*o)
(what the heck is a roping horse? other than something Jack can't afford? ??? )
A ropin’ horse is the horse ridden during the calf roping event in rodeo. The horse must be well trained to take instructions from the rider and the two must work well together to be successful. Obviously Jack can barely afford a toothbrush let alone the means to support his own horse, a trailer, etc. Equipment-wise bullridin’ only takes tough bones and guts, so is open to any damn fool, huh?
:c)
-
A BBM mystery explained! &**)
Meanwhile, back at the Fourth of July celebration, the bikers are causing a ruckus!
"Where do you figure the most pussy's at? Las Vegas or California?" says one.
"Between Montana or Wyoming, I'd take Wyoming," says another.
Ennis, faced with parenting two little girls, decides he must put a fatherly word in with the bikers.
-
Lookin' back over his shoulder while gently holdin' Jenny to his chest . . .
ENNIS: Hey! You might wanna' keep it down, I got two little girls here.
Guess Alma don't count huh?
-
Biker 1: F*ck you... Turning to his buddy, he mutters: Asshole, probably stopped puttin' it to his wife after the kids come, you know how that is... as his buddy chuckles.
-
-Alma (seeing that Ennis is getting more and more angry):-Ennis, let's move. Let's just move, okay?
-Ennis (without taking into account his wife's advice): -Now, I don't want any trouble from you. You need to shut your slop-bucket mouths, you hear me?
-
Ennis calmly approaches the two . .
BIKER 1: You ought-ta' listen to your old lady then . .
ENNIS: Is that right? (Ennis staring right at the biker)
BIKER 1: Move somewhere else.
Fireworks are going off in the background and inside Ennis's head. He grabs biker1 by his jacket and throws him to the ground. Simultaneously he swings around and, with an amazing leg lift, kicks biker2 square in the face with his foot, biker2 is now out cold on the ground. Ennis comes at biker1 and shouts at him while waving his fist:
ENNIS: What about it!! You wanna' lose about half your f*ckin' teeth? Huh?
BIKER1: Not tonight bud, I'd sure rather not (as he slinks away).
Alma looks on in horror at Ennis's outburst.
We see Ennis standing alone, explosions all about, a man by himself in a crowd.
(https://ennisjack.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi139.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fq313%2Fjackster545%2Ffireworks.jpg&hash=7c93f000230d67fdb9e68da6f0a93eff762d42b3)
-
The explosions continue, as does Ennis's solitary pose, while his wife looks on.
Alma clings to her youngest daughter and shields the older daughter with her body.
She raises her lip into a snarl of fear and disdain. She doesn't know this man who now stands alone in the crowd. She feels she must protect her children from his angry outburst.
New scene: A cute girl wearing a red hat (that a friend of mine now owns ;)) rides a horse into the arena at breakneck speed...
:h:

Jack is waiting for his turn looking at her career.Meanwhile,the speaker says:
-Here she comes, ladies and gentlemen! Oh boy, look at her fly! This is Lureen Newsome from right here in Childress, Texas! Come on, folks, she's gotta hear it, let's give her a big hand! She's turning on two! She's around three! Come on, folks! Help her home! Come on! Come on! And the time is 16 and 9!
-
The announcer continues:
Here's Cheyenne Hodson from Cody, Wyoming! Come on girl! She's headed around two! Is there anybody here from Wyoming? ... Come on, Cheyenne! And her time is 17 & 2 ...
Meanwhile, Lureen's hat is blown off in the speed of her exit. Jack picks up the hat just when Lureen rides back to retrieve it.
Jack (hands the hat back to Lureen): Ma'am...
Lureen takes the hat, winks at Jack, and rides off. Jack looks on as she rides off...
-
Now it's Jack's turn.He's preparing for rodeoing,while the speaker announces him:
-Next up is an up-and-comer! Jack Twist from all the way up in Lightning Flat, Wyoming! He's onboard Sleepy today! Let's hope he's not! Okay! There they go, folks! And look at Sleepy go, boy! He's broke free today, folks! Come on, spin and spin and spin! Oh, boy! Good ride, cowboy! Well, let's see what the judges say! I tell you, folks, that sure looked like the winnin' ride to me!
-
New scene. At the bar, near the dance floor. jack eyes Lureen. Lureen is being asked by a man for the next dance. But she is clearly waiting for someone else... She looks at Jack, who turns his gaze away. Jack is clearly abashed. He asks the bartender about Lureen...
Jack: You know that girl?
-
Bartender: I sure do...Lureen Newsome...her dad sells farm equipment...I mean big farm equipment...hundred thousand dollar tractors...shit like that...
Jack looks back at Lureen, sees she is still watching him...
Impatient Lureen gets up and walks over to Jack.
Lureen: What are you waiting for, cowboy? A matin' call?
-
New Scene. On the dance floor. Jack dances with Lureen, flirting with his hands.fingers. But clearly, his thoughts are elsewhere. Out of Lureen's line of sight, we see Jack deep in thought.
No one’s gonna love you like me
No one else, can’t you see?
No one’s gonna love you like me
No one, no one.
No one else, can’t you see?
No one’s gonna love you like me
No one, no one.
I know sometimes you felt so lonely
I know you felt so sad and blue
But this time, you know I’m the only
Love for you that’s coming through
With everything I say and do
No one’s gonna love you like me
No one, no one.
I know sometimes you felt so lonely
I know you felt so sad and blue
But this time, you know I’m the only
Love for you that’s coming through
With everything I say and do
No one’s gonna love you like me
No one, no one.
No one, no one.

New scene:
We see a flashy, red Thunderbird convertible drive along a deserted piece of road, slow, pull to a stop, the motor is cut. Next we see Jack (with his hat still on) and Lureen (who’s been driving) start to go at it hot n’ heavy. In an action not unlike Jack with Ennis SNIT, Lureen takes Jack’s hat, puts it aside and takes position on Jack. Jack crawls (is pushed) over the seat into the back seat. Lureen follows him like a hungry wolf and gets on top of him. All kind of grappling and smooching is goin’ on. Finally Lureen draws back,
LUREEN: You don’t think I’m too fast do you, maybe we should put the breaks on?
Jack smiles back at her, happy to let her do the drivin’:
JACK: Fast or slow I just like the direction you’re going.
Lureen dives back in, can’t resist Jack’s luscious lips.
-
Lureen takes her shirt off.
Jack(surprised): You are in a hurry...
-
-Loreen:-My daddy's the hurry. He expects me home with the car by midnight.
They kiss and keep on doing "that thing".
Next scene:We see Ennis with the two girls under his arms entering into the shop where Alma works.
-Ennis( to the girls ):- Come here, come here. Hi, Monroe!
-Monroe : -Hey, Ennis.
-
ENNIS: Is ah, Alma here?
MONROE: Ah, yeah, she's in the condiments aisle.
ENNIS: The wha?
MONROE: Ah . . . ketchup.
ENNIS: Thanks.
Ennis continues to the back of the store with the girls in arms, still wondering . . .Condom mints? :s)
-
Ennis goes to the condiments aisle in a hurry,almost running people down...
-Alma Jr.:-Excuse us!
-Ennis : -Yeah. Excuse me.
-Alma : -Hey, honey! Honey, what are y'all doing here?
-Ennis : -Big hurry. My boss called and, weel, he wants me to go up to the ranch.
-
Ennis: I guess all the heifers must have decided to calf at the same time. I figured I could drop the girls off with you.
Alma, as she takes Jenny from Ennis: Ennis...I...I've got a million things I've got to do before I can leave. I don't get off for another three hours.
Alma Jr looking up at Alma and pulling at Alma's smock: Mama, I need crayons.
Alma looking upset and harrassed: Not now, Alma.
-
Turning to Ennis, pleading,
ALMA: Ennis please, . . . you promised you'd take them tonight.
-
ENNIS: Alma, I can't afford not ta' be there when the heifers calve. It'd be my job if I lose any of 'em.
-
-Alma (feeling undervalued): -What about my job? ... (Ennis looks at her as confirming her that her job is not as important as his)-Okay, all right. I'll call my sister. I'll see if she can take them.
-Ennis : -All right. All right.(to Alma Fr.)- You be a good girl for your mama, all right?(to Alma again)- I'll be half the night. Bring home some ground steaks if you think of it.
-
Ennis rushes away. Alma looks tired and upset. Alma Jr tries to take a jar of peanuts from the bottom row of a display of peanut jars, causing the whole display to come crashing down. There are broken glass jars and peanuts all over the floor. Alma looks on the verge of tears.
Monroe, the store manager, comes running at the sound of breaking glass.
Alma (on the verge of tears): Monroe, I am so sorry.
-
MONROE: It's OK, it's OK, I'll get it.
ALMA: I'll, I'll clean this up just as soon as I call my sister to come get the girls.
MONROE: Really Alma, it's OK, I'll get it.
ALMA: Alma come with me.
MONROE: Watch your feet.
ALMA: Alma!
-
New scene:
A beautiful Lureen coos over her precious new baby. She lets him grab her finger in his tiny fist. And guess what? Company has arrived. It is the Newsome grandparents who have come to see their new grandchild.
-
-Lureen(to Jack):-It's just like my hand.
-Jack : -Honey, I got a surprise for you.
Lureen's parents have just entered into the room.
-Lureen : -Hey.
-Lureen's mom : -I got two whole boxes of formula for you.
-
Lureen's mom continues...
Lureen's mom: ... A hundred and twenty cans!
Lureen: A hundred and twenty?
Lureen's mom (To L.D.): Where did you put 'em?
-
L.D.Newsom: Oh hell, back seat a' the car where I left 'em. Rodeo can get 'em.
L.D. throws the keys at Jack without even looking to see if he gets them. Jack, who's caught off guard, misses the throw and they fall to the floor, he bends down and picks them up, clearly upset lives the room...
-
Lureen's mother Fayette says: Oh, L.D., I can already see who little Bobby looks like...
-
-L.D. : -Good job, little girl. He's the spittin' image of his grandpa...( to Jack ):- Isn't he just the spittin' image of his grandpa?
Jack nodds with a sad smile in his lips.Loreen,who has been looking at him during the depictful action of his father,tries to take a little of tension off.
-Loreen:-...Yeah... Look at those eyes.
-
New scene. Ennis drives home from work, parks the truck, and goes up to the litchen where Alma is preparing dinner.
Alma: Hey!
Ennis: How's it goin'
Pause... Ennis washes his hands in the sink.
Alma: Hey Ennis... ya know somebody by the name of Jack?
-
New scene: Ennis enters, Alma, standing at the stove, turns toward Ennis and says,
"Ennis, you know somebody named Jack?"
-
-Ennis : -Maybe, why?
-Alma : -'Cause you got a postcard. It come general delivery. ...
Ennis reaches the postcard and,from that time onwards,the world that surrounds him vanishes.Everything turns around this postcard and Jack handwriting.His Jack...
-
Friend this letter
is long over due.
Coming through
on the 24th.
Drop me a line
say if your there.
Jack
Ennis stares at the card with some disbelief (unfortunately it won't be the last time he looks at a postcard this way). Flips the card over to see what's on the back, maybe it's a trick? Glances quickly at Alma to see if she's watching him and his reaction (she's not). Reads the card again, mouthing the words to make sure he's got it right. Alma questions him:
ALMA: Is he somebody you cowboyed with or what?
ENNIS: Nah, Jack he rodeos mostly. (then thinkin' really quickly he adds) We wus fishin' buddies.
Ennis probably doesn't realize how helpful this little lie will be in the very near future. Leaves the kitchen with his thoughts on Jack.

-
New Scene: At the Riverton Post Office.
Ennis is writing out a postcard to send to Jack.
Having filled in Jack's address in Childress, Texas and his own return address, Ennis writes only 2 words for his message: You bet.
He then drops the postcard in the mail slot, walks out of the post office, whistling, gets in his pickup and drives off.
-
New scene:
(OMG! The suspense is killing me!)
And the suspense was killing Ennis, as well...
Finally, it was the 24th! Ennis sat in the apartment, staring out the window. A cigarette in his mouth, he flipped his lighter open, closed it, opened it, anxiously awaiting Jack's arrival.
Outside, only four vehicles were left in the desolate parking lot. Light broke over the distant mountains as the day wore on, and the weather cleared.
-
Meanwhile,in the other room,Alma is playing with Jr,before giving her her dinner.Both of them are talking:
-Alma:-You can color that one, too.
-Junior : -I'll color the beach.
Ennis is clearly very far away from these childish conversations and come and go from the kitchen looking for another beer.In one of these "trips",Alma says:
-Alma:-Maybe we could get a baby-sitter.
-Ennis (in the clouds) : -Huh?
-Alma : -Take your friend to the Knife and Fork?
-Ennis (trying to make Alma forget this "dangerous" idea) : -No. Jack ain't the restaurant type. We'll more likely just go out and get drunk.
-
The long day of waiting is beginning to wear on Ennis.
He nervously adds:
ENNIS: If he shows.
Later we see Ennis sprawled out in his chair [Yeah! :d) ] asleep,
with six empty beer bottles, plus one in his hand.
(https://ennisjack.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi139.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fq313%2Fjackster545%2FEnnis-sleeping1.jpg&hash=71a1cf4bd52a7afd44bcab625cfb9236ee609182)
-
Alma and Alma Jr are finishing their dinner as Ennis dozes in his chair.
Alma: Ok, we take one more bite and then you're finished with dinner. There, that's a good bite, alright, you're excused.
Jr runs off to play, and Alma begins to clear the table.
At the sound of a truck pulling up outside, Ennis wakes, gets up from his chair, and goes to the window.
-
Ennis sees a red & white pickup pull up, the door opens, Jack gets out and stiffly makes his way around. Ennis is out on the landing in a flash, looks down at Jack, breaks a big smile, slaps his big paws on the railing and exclaims;
Jack fu*kin' Twist!
Ennis heads down the stairs two at a time. Jack smiles back and heads over greet Ennis.
-
The men embrace in a bearhug, their long arms wrapped around each other's shoulders and squeezing tight. Both men close their eyes and presumably can feel the racing of their hearts, smell the stale cigarette smoke and beer, sense the warmth emanating from their bodies, stirring the emotions of that old, cold time on the mountain when they owned the world and nothing seemed wrong.
Ennis thinks, maybe he can rekindle some of that feeling. He pulls back and looks at Jack. Yes, Ennis determines, Jack feels it too. Ennis shifts his eyes to the left and seeing no prying neighbors, he seizes Jack by the collar of his vest...
-
Grabbing Jack, Ennis looks directly into his eyes, mutters in a determined whisper:
Come over here . . .
Then, in other circumstances what could look like the beginning of a fight, Ennis, pushing Jack with a grasp of his collar, shoves him backwards up against a hidden wall.
-
Then,Ennis takes Jack's head with his hands and kisses him with the most absolute passion.Both men remain with their lips together during some instants;when they separate from each other,we can see Jack's face,full of a desperate and surprised love.He grabs Ennis collar on his turn and,leading him on the staircase's zone,give him another more passionate kiss,while Ennis catches Jack's head caressing his hair.
-
Jack: SOB
As bad luck would have it, Alma decides to open the screen door at the moment when both Ennis and Jack are passionately making out. Alma immediately retreats back to the kitchen in extreme shock. Her heart is pounding, and her mind is totally muddled and confused, trying to make sense of what sh had just seen...
-
Meanwhile, back in the stairwell... the men separate. Jack can barely release the grip of his left hand on Ennis's shirt. Ennis physically shoves Jack's wrist away from the fabric, but nuzzles his head against Jack. In a swift movement, he looks around. Jack goes in for another kiss, but Ennis drags his right hand down Jack's face and says,
"little darlin" "later."

-
Ennis goes up the staircase,arranging his shirt; while Jack remains silent,shattering and looking at his love going away.Inside the house,Alma is in shock's state,leaning on the table; when she hears that both men are coming,she wears her handbag and puts herself before the main door,waiting for the arriving of who already was her rival...
-
Ennis arrives at the apartment door, carefully wiping his mouth (Alma has her back to him), just in case there's any of Jack's drool hangin' around.
ENNIS: Alma, this is, ah, Jack Twist.
Jack appears in the door opening, head bowed down, somewhat wary of the whole scene. Ennis, face beaming with happiness points first to Jack and then swingin' his arm in the direction of Alma, continues:
Jack, this is my wife Alma.
The gentleman Jack responds, briefly tips his hat, but doesn't set foot into the apartment, (and is not invited in by Alma):
JACK: Howdy.
-
Alma (with a blank face): Hello.
A child's voice is heard from another room.
Jack (with a look of surprise): You got a kid!
-
-Ennis : -Yeah. I got two little girls. Alma Jr. and Jenny.
-Jack:-I got a boy.
-Ennis : -Yeah?
-Jack : -Eight months old. Smiles a lot. I married the prettiest little gal in Childress, Texas.
-Ennis : -Yeah?
-Jack : -Lureen.
All this scene is developing while Ennis smiles clumsily looking at Alma,Jack,more clumsily still,doesn't know if he must look at him,at her or at the floor and Alma keeps on having her not very friendly face.
-
Ennis an' Jack are so eager to get goin' they can hardly stand still.
ENNIS: So me an' Jack gonna' head out an' get ourselves a drink- ya know.
ALMA: Sure enough. (complete shock and desperation in her face)
JACK: Pleased to meet ya' ma'am.
Ennis does some quick thinkin' based on the action downstairs a few minutes ago . . . lays some groundwork for the next 12 hours:
ENNIS: We might not get back tonight, we get to drinkin' an' talkin' an' all.
(https://ennisjack.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi139.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fq313%2Fjackster545%2Fdrinkin.jpg&hash=ea6db4c470933c23713e435af2d0d31e6a838696)
-
Alma (desperately trying to find some excuse to make Ennis come back that night): Ennis, would you get me a pack of smokes...
Ennis (cutting her off as he exits): You need smokes? They're in the top pocket of my blue shirt... they're in the bedroom!
[The next scene is a YUMMY one! #)]
-
(Yessssss,it's YUUUMMMMMMYYYYYY ¡¡¡ :d) (t) )
Next scene.Later by night,we see the red lights of the Motel Siesta's signboard.Immediately after,a close-up of Jack,delightful and satisfied.In his naked torso there seems to be several little sweat's drops. ( :P ).He approaches his face to Ennis head,who is laying over Jack's chest;this last one smells his lover's hair(we only can see his hair and one ear) and says with a sight:
-Jack.-Four years,damn ¡
-Ennis:-Yeah, four years.
-
Responding as only a lover could, Ennis reminds Jack of the last time they were together. He's probably been thinking of this over an' over the past four year wondering if his actions that day ended their relationship. Now he see's it didn't, knows it didn't, and wants to make sure Jack knows too (as if whut they'd just done left any doubt ^-^) and utters what amounts to an Ennis apology.
ENNIS: Didn't think I'd hear from you again.
Jack: quietly groans in way that indicates- ah, heck no.
ENNIS: I figured you wus sore from that punch.
-
Jack: That next summer, I drove back up to Brokeback... talked to Aguirre about a job... an' told me you hadn't been back there... an' so I left! Went down to Texas for rodeoin' -- that's how I met Lureen -- made two thousand dollars that year bullridin'... nearly starved! Lureen's old man... he makes seeerious money... farm machine business... 'course he hates my guts!
-
.Ennis:-And Army didn't get you?
-Jack : -No, too busted up. And rodeoin' ain't what it was in my daddy's day. Got out while I could still walk.
-
Jack pauses, looks thoughtful, says: I swear to God I didn't know I was going to get into this again.
Jack gives a little grin, moves his lips closer to Ennis' ear and says: Oh, yes, I did. I red-lined it all the way....couldn't get here fast enough.
Jack gives a little laugh, continues: What about you?
-
Ennis (suddenly shy): Me? I don't know...
Jack (whispering to Ennis): Old Brokeback got us good, don't it?
Ennis nudges Jack's arm in response.
Jack (suddenly anxious): What are we gonna do now?
-
Though now quietly and intimately lying in each others arms, Jack's question brings reality and the future crashing into the room.
ENNIS: I doubt there's nuthin' we can do. . . . See I'm stuck with whut I got here. . . . Makin' a livin' is 'bout all I got time for now.
Ennis takes a deep drag on his cigarette and closes his eyes, tryin' to enjoy this moment in time with Jack, an' push reality back outside the room.
-
Next scene:Ennis comes back home only to take some personal objects in a weekend's trip with Jack.Alma has clearly spent the night without hardly sleeping and she receives him in a light gown and a face of immense sorrow.
-Ennis (without realising anything):-Hey. Well, me and Jack is headed up the mountain for a day or two. Do ourselves a little fishin'.
-Alma (after seeing that Jack is in the street,waiting for his lover while leaning on the truck):-You know, your friend could come inside, have a cup of coffee.
-Ennis(of course,he's not in the correct state of mind to understand what she says...):-Well, he's from Texas.
-
Alma: Texans don't drink coffee?
Ennis ignores her and continues to put things together for the trip.
Akma (taking another track in the hope of stopping Ennis from going): You sure that foreman won't fire you for taking off?
-
-Ennis(now,he realises what are told to him):-You know, that foreman, he owes me. I worked through a blizzard last Christmas. You remember that? Besides, I'll only be a couple of days.
-Jr.(running to her father):-Bring fish, daddy. A big, big one!
-Alma ( to Jr.,taking her in her arms ):- Come here.
-Ennis ( to Alma ) :-Come here (he kisses her and the little girl). See you Sunday, latest.
-
Ennis leaves Alma holding Junior and heads downstairs to Jack an' the pickup, throws his gear in the back. Jack, after an active night playin' horsey turns to Ennis:
JACK: I'm starvin', wanna' get somethin' to eat?
ENNIS: Yup.
Meanwhile, Alma's upstairs crying as she sees her husband leave with his lover, struggles to make a little wave out the window, but knows Ennis isn't looking.
New scene. We see Jack's spiffy truck heading up into the mountains, finally it pulls up on a ledge next to a deep river. The boys jump out, stripping off as fast as they can. Ennis yells:
Last one in!
:d)
-
Next scene.Both of them are near the river,with the only company of a bonfire and the stars.Ennis is lying with a face of infinite happinnes,looking at thje sky,while Jack is sitting by his side.
-Jack:-Is there anythin' interestin' up there in heaven?
-Ennis : -Well, I was just sending up a prayer of thanks.
-Jack : -For what?
-Ennis : -For you forgettin' to bring that harmonica. I'm enjoying the peace and quiet.(He wrinkles at Jack and both men laugh).
-
Jack becomes thoughtful and quiet, maybe even a little nervous toyin' with his beer bottle, says what's been on his mind since the kiss in Riverton:
JACK: You know, it could be like this, just like this, always.
-
-Ennis( he gets up,seeming a little uneasy all of a sudden):-Yeah? How do you figure that?
-Jack:-What if you and me had a little ranch somewhere...a little cow-and-calf operation? It'd be a sweet life. I mean, hell, Lureen's old man you bet he'd give me a down payment to get lost. I mean, he more or less already said it.
-
Ennis sits up, putting his hat on, says with sadness: No, I...I told you...it ain't gonna be that way.
Ennis moves closer to Jack, but doesn't look him in the eye, continues: You know, you... you got your wife and baby in Texas, and...you know I got my life in Riverton.
Jack, looking downcast, replies: Is that so? You and Alma...that's a life?
-
-Ennis (a little angry with Jack's question):-Now you shut up about Alma. This ain't her fault.(Jack is surprised for Ennis reaction and shuts up immediately) The bottom line is, we're around each other, and this thing grabs hold of us again in the wrong place, in the wrong time and we're dead.I tell you there... there were these two old guys ranched up together, down home. Earl and Rich.
(Meanwhile,we see in a flashback the scene that Ennis is going to tell Jack;he,his father and his elder brother are walking along a country path).
-
Thought he'd never had such a good time; felt he could paw the white out of the moon.
It's 'cause a you I'm like this, Jack. I'm nothin'; I'm nowhere.
[It hurts to think I never heard the word "love" from either Ennis or Jack]
-
Scene continues with the flashback view of little Ennis, his Dad, an' older brother C.E.
ENNIS: They wus a joke in town, even though they, they wus pretty tough old birds. . . . Anyway, they, they found Earl dead . . . in an irrigation ditch. Took a tire iron to 'em, spurred 'em up, drug 'em around by his dick 'till it pulled off.
JACK: watching Ennis intently: You seen this?
ENNIS: Yea, I's whut, nine years old? My dad, he, . . he made sure me an' my brother seen it. - Hell, for all I know he done the job. - Two guys living together - no way. Ya know we can get together once in a while way the out in the middle a' nowhere. . . . but . . .
-
-Jack(defiantly):-“Once in a while”... every four !@#$ years?
-Ennis : -Well, if you can't fix it, Jack, you gotta stand it.
-Jack : -For how long?
-Ennis:-As long as we can ride it. There ain't no reins on this one.
Ennis is on the verge of tears.Jack realises it and caress gently his face.The river water flows impetuously from one to the other,like the strenght of their love...
-
Jack now understands a bit more about his lover, more than he knew for these past four years.
(https://ennisjack.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi139.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fq313%2Fjackster545%2Fennisfireside.jpg&hash=c2da5df2fc151d50e834f4599d5a3d6fb253ab90)
Scene fades to black, while the music carries us to a new scene, sometime later, outside the DelMar apartment in Riverton. The girls are playing on a swingset. Suddenly we hear shouting in the distance, Ennis and Alma are having an argument. They bring it outside to the stairs as Alma leaves, heads to her job.
ENNIS: It's nearly suppertime, where the hell ya' think your goin'?
ALMA: To work!
ENNIS: Yeah, well I thought you had the day off!
ALMA: Well you thought wrong.
ENNIS: The girls need to be fed.
ALMA: Well you take care of it!
ENNIS: Alma. ALMA!
ALMA: Supper's on the stove!
ENNIS: No one's eatin' unless you're servin' it!
ALMA: I promised to take the extra shift!
ENNIS: Well, fu*kin' tell 'em ya' made a mistake then! Goddamn it Alma! ALMA!!
Alma storms off to the grocery and her job, doesn't turn around to even acknowledge Ennis. Ennis is furious, but realizes he's lost, heads back to the apartment past his daughters who've stopped their swingin' and been watchin' it all.
ENNIS: You girls need a push or sumthin'?
GIRLS: (In unison) No o o o . . .
Ennis heads back inside to serve up supper, kickin' an ash bucket on his way. These stairs where the emotional reunion with Jack rekindled their relationship, now also seem to be the scene of the quenching of his relationship with Alma.
-
Next scene.Jack is at work.introducing a new product to his clients.
-Jack:-Listen to her purr, gentlemen ! You ain't gonna get that with your Caddy! I told you what she could do, and now let me show you.
Two men are inside the office looking at him:
-Man:-Say, didn't that pissant used to ride the bulls?
-Man 2 : -He used to try.
Lureen,who is sitting near them,raises her head by hearing this and looks at them with a sadden look,but she doesn't say a word in deffense of her husband...
-
New scene, yet remarkably, the "Wings" music, playing in the background, has carried us to now the fourth scene with this theme. Alma comes home from shopping with groceries in one arm, mail in the other. Sets down the groceries, looks through the mail. Finds a postcard to Ennis from Jack, postmarked Childress TX 1972:
Ennis:
See you in a
couple weeks fish
should be jumping
Jack
She seems to hear Ennis coming up the stairs and puts the mail down on the counter.
The Wings music continues, picks up volume.
-
Next scene.Jack is at home and looks insistenly for someone,all around the room,while Lureen is sitting making her deals.Jacks stops and asks her:
-Jack:-Honey! Have you seen my blue parka?
-Lureen :-Last time I seen it, you was in it...day we had that big ice storm.
-Jack : -Well, could have sworn I seen it in here.
-Lureen : -You know, you've being going up to Wyoming all these years. Why can't your buddy come here to Texas and fish?
-
Jack: Well, 'cause the Bighorn Mountains ain't in Texas. And I don't think his pickup could make it down here anyways.
Lureen continues adding up numbers on her adding machine: New model comin' in this week. Remember? You're the best combine saleman we've got....the only combine salesman in fact.
Jack: Yeah, well, I'll be back in a week. That is, unless I freeze to death. And I'll freeze if I don't find that parka
-
-Lureen:-Well, I don't have your goddamn parka. You know, you're worse than Bobby when it comes to losin' stuff.
-Jack:-Well, speaking of Bobby, did you call his school about getting' him a tutor?
-Lureen : -I thought you were gonna call.
-Jack:-I complain too much. That teacher don't like me.
-
Lureen: right.
Jack: Now it's your turn.
Lureen: Ok, fine, so I'll just, I'll call later. (goes back to her adding machine)
Jack: (looks at Lureen in frustration) All right. Bye. Got fourteen hours a' drivin' ahead a' me.
Lureen: See now it don't seem fair, you going up there two - three times a year . . .with him never comin' down here . . .
(Jack's already out the door with his mind on 'other' things . . . waves goodbye)
-
Next scene: At DelMar's home,Ennis is also preparing his things to go fishing.Meanwhile the girls are playing and Alma is sitting,reading a magazine with a serious look in her face.
-Alma : -Ennis, they got an opening over at the power company. Might be good pay.
-Ennis : -Well, as clumsy as I am, I'd probably get electrocuted.
-Junior(from next room) : -Daddy! The church picnic's next weekend. Will you be back from fishing by next weekend? Please, daddy? Please!
-Ennis:-Well, all right, as long as I don't have to sing. (The girls laugh,except Alma).
-
Ennis grabs his basket and his fishing rod and hurries out the door, preparing to leave.
Ennis has put his hat on and is grabbing his jacket when Alma, with irony in her voice, says: You forgettin' something?
Ennis looks back at Alma, returns to the kitchen and grabs his fishing tackle box from the table and hurries out.
Alma remains seated at the table, staring sadly into space.
-
Next scene: Jack is on the mountain,waiting for Ennis arrival.We see how his face lightning up when he sees his lover appearing in his old truck.They smile at each other when Ennis goes out from the vehicle.
-Jack:-You're late
-Ennis:-Look what I brought. This way.
He's carrying some beans to eat them the way they used in their happy times on Brokeback...
-
New scene. We see Ennis and jack riding in a forest, with deep moss covering the ground where the horses tread. We hear Jack talking -- inaudibly -- about a cayote, etc...
New Scene. Jack is back in Texas. He is "teaching" Bobby to drive a tractor, marked as VERSATILE.
Jack (to Bobby): There ya go! No Hands! It's all yours, buddy... It's all yours!
-
Next scene:DelMar's home.While the girls are playing,Alma is sewing and Ennis watching TV and drinking beers;both of them are very separated from each other and the general atmosphera is about boredom.
-Alma:-It's Saturday night, you know, we could still smarten up and head on over to the church social.
-Ennis:-That fire an brimstone crowd?
-Alma :-I think it'd be nice.
-
New scene: Ennis and Alma are in bed, kissing, and making love.
Ennis is about to enter Alma when she whispers: As far behind as we are on the bills, it makes me nervous not to take no precaution.
Ennis pulls back, looks Alma in the face, and stiffly replies: If you don't want no more of my kids, I'll be happy to leave you alone.
Alma retorts softly: I'd have 'em if you'd support them.
Ennis goes back to his side of the bed, turns his back to Alma, faces the wall.
Alma sadly reaches up and turns off the bedside lamp.
-
And just a note here...in the book she say under her breath something "the way you like to do it don't hardly produce kids anyway."
So, we see the picture where the "waters are widening" between them...She is suffering because he is suffering...and down the row it goes to Jack's suffering...
-
Next scene:we see a first take of Alma while she's listening to the judge in the court she and Ennis are to arrange the terms of their divorce.She shows a deep pain but also angerness.
-Judge : -Custody of the two minor children, Alma del Mar Jr. and Jennifer del Mar, is awarded to plaintiff.Defendant is ordered to pay child support to plaintiff in the sum of 125 dollars per month for each of the minor children until they reach the age of 18 years.Del Mar divorce granted, this sixth day of November, 1975.
While the judge is speaking,we see another first take of Ennis in this case; he looks deeply worried and has some little tears in his eyes.
-
Awww.... that gave me a sad. :(
New scene:
We see a beautiful day as a happy man drives his pick up truck into the great State of Wyoming! He smiles and hits the steering wheel with his palm as he happily sings along, "King of the Road." And he is the king of the road indeed! He beeps his horn and pulls into the long driveway to a dilapidated cabin.
There seems to be no door, the weathered clapboard fading into the next row of equally weathered string of dried out shingles. Many years had passed since the place had seen a fresh coat of paint. It seems like the main architectural focus of the building is a rusty bulkhead. On the right side of the building the actual doorway topped by a small set of antlers. Jack thinks to himself, I can’t believe Alma would let the girls visit this place if she knew what it looks like. I hope Ennis is alone!
Ennis cannot keep from smiling a little when he sees Jack, looking gorgeous in his adorable western leather jacket. "What are you doing here?" he asks.
"Got your postcard about you’re divorce comin’ through, so, here I am.”
Ennis turns away from Jack and back toward his own truck. His two girls smile at Jack who gives them an awkward wave.
-
Ennis breaks Jack's embrace and still smiling and in a somewhat daring move heads for his pickup and says:
ENNIS: Comhere. - Now this here's Jack. - Jack these are my little girls . . . this' Alma Jr. an' Jenny.
JACK: (looks in the cab smiling) Hi.
ENNIS: (teachin' his girls some manners) Say hi girls.
In unison the girls say hi. Jenny looks at Jack with real googoo eyes.
The boys move away from the truck, Ennis face darkens a bit with concern, Jack's still smiling:
JACK: (panting a bit with excitement) I got you're card . . . the divorce came thru . . .
ENNIS: Yeah.
JACK: So - here I am.
-
Jack : - I had to ask about 10 different people in Riverton where you had moved to.(feeling a little uneasy already before Ennis silence)I guess, I thought that this means you...
-Ennis:-No, Jack...I don't know what to say...See, I got the girls this weekend and...Jesus, I...I'm sure as hell sorry. You know I am. See, I only get them once a month, and I missed last month.
Jack is listening to him while he progressively looses the smile in his face... :_(
-
Ennis continues his stammering reason to an increasingly disappointed Jack . . .
ENNIS: So I just, . . . because a' the roundup . . so ahh . . (Ennis spies a pickup drive and by slow down) well . . .
JACK: Yeah, alright.
ENNIS: Jack? (Ennis looks right at Jack, who, bitterly disappointed, begins to turn and walk back to his truck.)
JACK: I'll see ya' next month then . . .
Ennis, never good at interpersonal relations, spits on the ground, hands in pockets staring at the ground as his lover drives, brokenhearted, away.
:_( :_( :_( :_(
-
Jack drives away. He clenches his left hand to his mouth, tears well in his eyes, and a choke forms in his throat as the song on the radio plays:
Go to sleep, may your sweet dreams come true
Just lay back in my arms for one more night
I've this crazy old notion that calls me sometimes
Saying this one's the love of our lives.
Cause I know a love that will never grow old
And I know a love that will never grow old.
When you wake up the world may have changed
But trust in me, I'll never falter or fail
Just the smile in your eyes, it can light up the night,
And your laughter's like wind in my sails.
Lean on me, let our hearts beat in time,
Feel strength from the hands that have held you so long.
Who cares where we go on this rutted old road
In a world that may say that we're wrong.
-Emmylou Harris
:_( :_( :_(
-
As Jack speeds away from Ennis, he wipes away his tears, and a new look of determination takes over. Still desolate at his rejection, he heads to Juarez, Mexico.
-
We see a crowd of very humble people;children sending food in the middle of the street,prostitutes of both sex,everywhere poverty and vice...With an incredible sadness in his face,Jack approaches to a couple of male prostitute;the tallest put his eyes on Jack.
-¿Señor?...
Jack nodds and immediately looses himself with his circumstantial lover in the darkness of the alley...
-
New scene, Thanksgiving Day at the Twist house, scene opens in the kitchen with Jack basting a monster turkey on a platter. Jack picks up the platter heads to the dining room where the assembled Newsome family waits. Jack exclaims as he delivers the turkey . . .
JACK: Here we are!
Jack picks up the carving tools as old man L.D.Newsome jumps up:
L.D.: Whoa there Rodeo! The stud duck doin' the carvin' around here.
Jack: Ah you bet L.D., - I was just, eh, savin' you the trouble.
-
Bobby is watching a game on TV without taking into account anything.
-Lureen :-Bobby! If you don't eat you dinner I'm gonna have to turn off that television.
-Bobby : -Why, mama? I'm gonna be eating this food for the next two weeks.
-Jack : -Hey, you heard your mama. You finish your meal, and then you can watch the game.
-
Jack sighing and walking back to his chair while touching Lureen.
- Lureen: Daddy?...Daddy.
- L.D.: Hell, we don't eat with our eyes. You want your boy to grow up to be a man,
don't you, Daughter. Boy should watch football.
- Jack: Not until he finishes eating the meal that his mama took three hours to fix.
(Saving you the best bits... :c))
-
L.D doesn't take into account Jack's words and gets up to turn the TV on again.Then,Jack explodes...
-Jack :Now you sit down, you old son of a bitch!(Everybody remains silent and quiet).This is my house... this is my child and you are my guest! Now you sit down before I knock your ignorant ass into next week!
Everybody sits down without a word,but Loreen can't avoid a shy smile.
-
Jack calms down enough to finally get up and start carving the turkey. - Cut to a new scene of another Thanksgiving turkey carving, this one with using a gadget electric knife at Monroe an' Alma's. Monroe playing the part of the "stud-duck", but it's clear who the real stud in this room is. :d)
Alma Junior looks admiringly at her daddy all dressed up in his good shirt and bolo tie.
JUNIOR: Daddy, tell about when you rode broncs in the rodeo.
Ennis looks pretty uncomfortable being center stage, and having to talk too! Tough question too, as it was Jack who was the real bronc rider, Ennis wus better ridin' other types a' bulls. ;)
ENNIS: Uh, . . it's a short story honey, its only about three seconds I wus on that bronc. Um, next thing I knew I was flying through the air. (gestures with his fork) Only I was no angel like you an' Jenny here. I didn't have no wings. An' that's the story of my saddle bronc career.
Alma watches Ennis with some disgust.
-
After some exchanging gances between Monroe and Alma-this one with rather disgusted,and disgusting,face-and some loving ones from Jr. and Jenny to their daddy,we enter into the following scene.Ennis and Alma are on the kitchen;he has just carried some dishes to be washed up.
-Ennis : -There you go.
-Alma (spitting what she has inside in the right(?)moment):-You ought to get married again, Ennis. Me and the girls worry about you bein' alone so much.
-Ennis : -Well, once burned...
-Alma : -You still go fishing with Jack Twist?
-Ennis :-Not often.
(A horrible storm is coming...(https://ennisjack.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi234.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fee236%2FShea1114%2Fterror.gif&hash=88b66bf305f8155534be6e55c6ba033d03111bc7) )
-
Alma - You know, I used to wonder how come you never brought any trouts home. You always said you caught plenty, and you know how me and the girls like fish. So one night I got your creel case open the night before you went on one of your little trips (price tag's still on it after five years) and I tied a note to the end of the line. It said, 'Hello, Ennis, Bring some fish home. Love. Alma.' And then you come back looking all perky and said you caught a bunch of browners and you ate them up. Do you remember? I looked in that case first chance I got, and there was my note still tied there. That rod hadn't touched water in its life.
:f)
Ennis - Don't mean nothing, Alma.
Alma - dont try an fool me no more Ennis! I know what it means! Jack Twist? Jack Nasty! You didnt even go up there to fish! You an him...
-
Suddenly,Ennis reacts grasping Alma by her arm and approaching threateningly to her.
-Ennis:-Now you listen to me, you don't know nothing about it.
-Alma (a little afraid of his reaction): -I'm going to yell for Monroe.
.Ennis : .You do it and I'll make you eat the f@#ng floor.
-Alma (already hysterical): Get out!
-Ennis : -And you too!
-Alma : -Get out! Get out! Get out of my house, Ennis del Mar! You hear me? You get out!
-
Scene continues amid confusion, Ennis is storming out, the girls are calling after their daddy wondering what's going on, Monroe suddenly wakes up from his post meal cogitate can't quite figure the situation and clashing dishes.
MONROE: Alma?
GIRLS: Daddy? - Bye daddy . . . . bye.
Ennis drives off in his one-eyed pickup to the Black N' Blue Eagle" bar. Jumps out heads across the street to the bar right in front of a flatbed pick-up that screeches to a halt on the snow slicked pavement. Driver yells out to Ennis:
DRIVER: Hey asshole, watch where you're goin'!
-
Ennis, heads to the drivers door and begins swingin' at the unknown driver. The driver, is surprised for a moment, then gets out of his car yelling at Ennis:
Jesus, - You stupid f**k!!
and he starts punching Ennis back, Ennis falls on his back.... :cb:
-
The all-out fight scene continues, Ennis, not as young as he once was, has met his match and gets a beating.
DRIVER: Goddamn. (throws Ennis at the truck, keeps punchin' finally Ennis falls and is held down while the bigger man drills home his point on the prone Ennis)
Scene fades to black, the BBM music comes in and the screen opens to an idyllic spring scene on the mountain. Jack and Ennis are horseback slowly riding through the high country. A second scene opens with the pair riding, silhouetted against the mountain backdrop, looking just like Randolph Scott and Joel McCrea in Ride the High Country. A few more quiet scenes of Jack and Ennis riding, together, but not speaking a word. Finally we see them in their riverside camp.
-
-Jack:-All I'm sayin' is, what the point of making it? If the taxes don't get it, the inflation will eat it all up.(he's near the riverside;he makes a pause and continues):You should see Lureen punchin' numbers in her adding machine. Hunting for extra zeros, her eyes gettin' smaller and smaller. It's like watchin' a rabbit tryin' to...squeeze into a snake hole with a coyote on its tail.
-Ennis:-That's some high class entertainment, if you ask me.
-Jack:-For what it's worth.
-
Ennis: You an Lureen, it's uh, normal an all?
Jack nods
Jack: Sure
Ennis: she dont never suspect?
Ennis, slightly uncomfortable, continues: You ever get the feeling...i don't know...when you're in town, and someone looks at you, suspicious...like he knows? Then you go out on the pavement and everyone's lookin at you like they all know too...?
Jack: Maybe you should get out of there, you know? Find yourself some place different, maybe Texas...?
-
Texas?
-
ENNIS: Sure. - An' maybe you can convince Alma to let you an' Lureen adopt the girls. An' we can just live together herdin' sheep, an' it'll rain money from L.D. Newsome, an' whiskey'll flow in the streams Jack, that's real smart, real smart.
-
Jack: Go to hell, Ennis Del Mar. You wanna live your miserable fu**in' life, then you go right ahead...!
Ennis: Fine!
Jack: I was just thinkin out loud...
Ennis: Yeah...god-damn Jack fu**in' Twist, got it all figured out aint ye...?!
<^(
-
Ennis keeps on mumbling,while his pan begins to flow in the water...
Next scene.Ennis is alone in a bar drinking and smoking.A lovely waitress is putting a song in the Jukebox a little behind him.When Ennis gets up and leave the place,she takes him by the hand.
-Cassie:-Just finished my shift. Wanna dance?
-Ennis :-I was just on my way to the...
-
Without waiting to be ask, Cassie grabs Ennis's hand pulls him toward the dance floor . . .
CASSIE: I'm Cassie, Cassie Cartwright.
Ennis doesn't look real happy to be pulled around by a woman, but plays the roll of a reluctant gentleman:
ENNIS: Ennis. . . . DelMar.
-
They dance together; well,Cassie is who really dances.Ennis simply takes her by the hand in some steps and he pretends he's dancing... ;D
-Ennis : -No more dancin' for me, I hope.
-Cassie : -You're safe. (She sits down).
-Ennis :-Yeah?
-Cassie : -My feet hurt. (she takes her shoes off and begins to massage them)
-Ennis : -Hard work, is it?
-Cassie : -Yeah, drunks like you demanding beer after beer, smokin'. Gets tiresome. What do you do, Ennis del Mar?
-
ENNIS: Well . . . earlier today I wus castratin' calves.
Cassie scrunches up her nose.
-
Cassie puts her toes over Ennis legs.
-Ennis(fond of the phrase):- What are you doing?
-Cassie : -Tryin' to get a foot rub, dummy.
-Ennis : -All right.(He obeys Cassie's wish) That good?
-
Cassie:- Mm-hmm *smiles*
-
New scene:A dance hall in Chirlress. Jack and loreen are at table with Lashawn and Randall Malone. Bubbly Lashawn is talking...
Lashawn: blah, blah, blah, ...and then I pledged Tri Delt at SMU,....blah, blah, I'd end up in a poky little place like Childress! But then I met ol' Randall here at an Aggie game... blah, blah, blah,... So we been here a month, and he got the foreman job over at Roy Taylor's ranch. Like it or not, here I am!
:)
-
LUREEN: (puttin' on her very best sorority sister airs and smile)
Was you Tri-Delt?
I was Kappa Phi myself.
-
LaShawn : Well, even though we ain't quite sorority sisters we just may have to dance with ourselves, Lureen. Our husbands ain't the least bit interested in dancin'. They ain't got a smidgen of rhythm between them.
Lureen : It's funny, isn't it? Husbands don't never seem to wanna dance with their wives. Why do you think that is, Jack?
Jack : I don't know, I never give it any thought. Wanna dance?
LaShawn : Yes, thank you.
Jack : Do you mind?
Randall : No, it's all right. Go ahead. All right.
-
Jack and Lashawn gets up from their chairs.
-Lashawn:-Pardon us.(They begin to dance together and she begins to talk again): Thank you for asking me to dance with you. I really appreciate that. Randall never does. Last time I did, I think it was our wedding.It's a good thing you and Lureen happened along when you did or else we'd still be stuck on the side of the road in that darn pickup. I told Randall we ought to take the car. Of course, he'd never listen to me. He wouldn't listen to me if he was goin' deaf tomorrow. I told him it'd take more than chewing gum and baling wire to fix that pickup. Well, he's never been very mechanical, though.(Bla,bla,bla...)
Jack smiles from time and time pretending he's listening to her babble,but his mind seems to be very far from there.
-
Meanwhile in the background we hear Teddy Thompson signing . . .
I don't want to say goodbye
Let the stars shine through
I don't want to say goodbye
All I want to do is live with you
Just like the light of the morning
After the darkness has gone
The shadow of my love is falling
On a place where the sun always shines
Don't you know that's where our hearts both belong?
'Cause I don't want to say goodbyw
Let the sun shine through
No, I don't want to say goodbye
All I want to do is live with you
Together, our two hearts are strong
Don't you know that's where our hearts both belong?
'Cause I don't want to say goodbyw
Let the stars shine through
No, I don't want to say goodbye
All I want to do is live with you
All I want to do is live with you.
We know who Jack's thinkin' of . . . .
:-\\
-
Next scene: we see Jack and Randall sitting on a bench near the ballroom door and waiting.They seem not to know what to say until Jack breaks the silence.
-Jack:-You ever notice how a woman will powder her nose before she goes to a party? And then she'll powder it again once the party's over? I mean, why powder your nose just to go home and go to bed?
-Randall : -Don't know. Even if I wanted to know, I couldn't get a word in with Lashawn long enough to ask. Woman talks a blue streak.
-
Jack: Lively little gal.
Jack clears his throat. There is an awkward silence...
Jack turns to Randall, breaking the silence: You'll like workin' for Roy Taylor.
Randall: Oh yeah, Roy...
Jack continues: He's solid, Roy
Randall: He's..uh...he's a good ol' boy...
-
Randall: Got a crop house, a little boat. Said I could use it whenever I want. We oughta go down there some weekend. Drink a little whisky, fish some, get away, you know?
*awkward silence*
-
Jack looks really surprised and don't say a word.Luckily,the two women appear to "save" him from this awkward moment...
-Lashawn:-That was right out SMU. I could've had my pick of pretty much any job in North Dallas. So my pick was Neiman Marcus, which was a disaster because, honey, where clothes is concerned, I got no resistance. I was spending more than I made. More than Randall ever will make. We come out here thinkin' that ranchin' was still big hats and Marlboros. Boys, were we behind the times.Bla,bla,bla...
-
Randall and Jack rise, go to their wives, and leave.
New scene: Alma Jr is waiting for Ennis to arrive. She sees Ennis' pickup, smiles, and gets up, ready to go.
As Ennis parks, she sees that Cassie is with him...her smile fades.
Ennis calls out: Hey there, Junior. You ready?
-
New scene in the local tavern.
Ennis is occupied studying the selection on the jukebox (avoiding the womenfolk) while Tammy Wynette sings in the background. Cassie and Alma Jr. sit awkwardly at a table waiting for the sexy man that connects them together to come over an' help break the ice. Cassie speaks first:
CASSIE: Whataya' think, your daddy ever gonna' see fit to settle down again?
Junior lets on more than maybe she intends, but shows she knows her daddy well.
JUNIOR: I don't know. Maybe he's not the marrying kind.
-
-Cassie (looking a little surprised):-You don't think so? Or you don't think I'm the one for him?
-Junior (looking a little bored):-You're good enough.
-Cassie : -You don't say much, but you get your point across.
-Junior :-Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude.
-Ennis(appearing in the best moment) : -All right.
-
Cassie, possibly in an effort to demonstrate her power over him, doesn't let Ennis' butt even touch the chair, grabs his arm an' instructs:
CASSIE: You're stayin' on your feet cowboy.
Ennis, resigned to his current fate, apologizes to Jr.
ENNIS: S'cuze me darlin'.
Junior, also resigned, watches the pair move away. They walk over to the dance floor where Cassie leads the uncommitted, and apparently uninterested, Ennis around the floor and can't keep her hands off him. He nonchalantly smokes a cig.
-
Next scene:Ennis and Jr. are on his truck,in her way home again.Junior seems worried,as if she wanted to say anything to her father.
-Ennis:-So I'll pick up you and Jenny up next weekend, after church.
-Junior : -Fine.
-Ennis (noticing something is not as fine as she says):-You all right?
-Junior : -Yes.
-Ennis : -Are you sure?
-Junior :-Daddy, I was thinkin', what with the new baby and all...Ma and Monroe have been awful strict on me. More on me than Jenny even. I was thinkin', maybe I could...Maybe I could come stay with you. I'd be an awful good help, I know I would.
-
ENNIS: No . . ah, you know I ain't set up for that. With the round up comin' - I won't ever be home . . .
JR. It's alright Daddy.
ENNIS: Well you, I'm not sayin' that I wouldn't . . .
JR. It's alright I understand
ENNIS: Well, I'll see ya' on Sunday then.
JR. Bye.
ENNIS: Bye sweetheart.
Ennis watches his grown up little girl go back into the house, a look of saddness comes to his face as he slowly drives away.
-
Next scene:Jack and Ennis are in the camp side by night,sitting near the river.Jack lights a cigarette and seems to try breaking the silence between them to arrive to a question he seems to care for also.
Jack:-Going to snow tonight for sure.
-Ennis : -Yup.
-Jack :-All this time and you ain't found nobody else to marry?
-
Ennis: i been puttin the blocks to a good lookin li'l gal over in riverton...waitress, wants ta go to nursin school or sumthin, but i dunno...and yourself?
Jack: Lureen's good at makin' hard deals in the machinery business, but so far as our marriage goes, we
could do it over the phone....I kinda got a thing goin' with a little gal over in Childress. Ranch hand's wife. (giggles slightly) 'M scared a' gettin shot by Lureen or the husband, ever' time I slip off to see her.
(both grunt slightly in amusement)
Ennis: yeah, well, you'd probably deserve it *winks at Jack*
(PAUSE)
Jack:...truth is...sometimes i miss you so much i can hardly stand it...
(BOTH SHARE A KNWING GLANCE)
-
Next shot (with no dialogue) shows Ennis & Jack in their tent, peacefully asleep.
Jack with his back to Ennis, Ennis with his arm gently draped over Jack.
(The last time they make love and sleep together) :_(
-
Next scene (the final storm is approaching... :_( :_( :_( ):Jack and Ennis are taking their packages to their trunks.Both look like worried and sad for their separation one more time(and last time...).Jack leans on the trunk's door and looks at Ennis with a face full with sorrow.
-Jack : -I guess I'll head up on to Lightning Flats. See the folks for a day or two.
-Ennis(looking worried and anxious to say something he knows what results is going to have):-There's somethin' I been meanin' to tell you, bud. Well, it's likely November before I can come out here again. After we ship stock and before winter feedin' starts again.
-
Jack stands with his hands on his hips.
"November? What in hell happened to August?"
He slams the truck door shut.
He grips his gloves in his right hand while Ennis nervously gnaws away at his thumbnail.
"Christ, Ennis, you had a f'ing week to say some little word about this."
:_(
-
Jack begins to walk away towards the lake:
JACK: Why is it we're always in the friggin' cold? We oughta' go . . south where it's warm. Ya' know we oughta' go to Mexico.
ENNIS: Mexico? Hell, Jack you know me 'bout the only travelling I ever done is 'round the coffee pot lookin' for the handle. . . . (Jack continues to look away - can't bring himself to turn around, the camera pans back and forth between the two) Come on Jack lighten' up on me. We can hunt in November, kill us a nice elk. I can try if I can an' get Don Wroe's cabin again. We had a good time that year didn't we?
(Jack slowly shakes his head, still with his back to Ennis, emotions boiling up)
JACK: There's never enough time. Never enough.
-
Jack (looks at Ennis angrily) :...you know, friend, this is a goddamn bitch of a unsatisfactory situation. You used to come away easy. Now it's like seein' the Pope.
-
-Ennis(advancing a little towards his friend,with a look of being angrier little by little):-Jack, I got to work. Huh? In them earlier days, I'd just quit the job. You...you forget what it's like bein' broke all the time. You ever hear of child support? I'll tell you this, I can't quit this one...and I can't get the time off. It was hard enough gettin' this time. The trade-off was August. Well, you got a better idea ?
-Jack(turning back Ennis):-I did, once.
-
Ennis: (off screen) you did once?
jack nods defiantly, sadness and longing in his eyes
Ennis:
-
Ennis begins approaching Jack.
ENNIS: You been ta' Mexico Jack Twist? huh? cause I hear whut they got in Mexico for boys like you.
JACK: Hell yes I been ta' Mexico is that a fu*kin' problem?
The men, now opposite each other, have a face to face stare down, looking directly at, and into each other.
ENNIS: I'm gonna' tell you this one time, Jack Fu*kin' Twist. An' I ain't foolin', what I don't know, all them THINGS that I don't know, might get you killed if I come to know them. . . . . . I ain't jokin'.
After staring into his eyes for a long moment, Ennis turns, spits, and walks away.
-
Jack turns his head,following Ennis with his glance,that now is burning with anger.
-Jack:-Yeah, well try this one, and I'll say it just once!
-Ennis(defiantly) : -Go ahead!
-Jack(at the point of exploiding) : -I'll tell you what. We could have had a good life together! f@#$ng real good life! Had us a place of our own. But you didn't want it, Ennis!
-
Jack continues his expostulation:
JACK: So what we got now is BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN! Everythings built on that, that's all we got boy, fukin' all, so I hope you know that if you don't never know the rest.
Ennis turns, walks away, says something only the horses can hear.
JACK: You count the damn few times that we have been together in nearly twenty years, and you measure the short fukin' leash you keep me on, an' then you ask me 'bout Mexico, an' you tell me you kill me for needin' somethin' that I don't hardly never get!
You have no idea how bad it gets. I'm not you, I can't make it on a couple' a' high altitude fucks once or twice a year. You are too much for me Ennis - (Jack throws up his arms, turns and walks away) You son of a horsin' bitch. (looks across the lake at the mountain) I wish I knew how to quit you.
-
Ennis then turns his head to Jack to give him an answer to all this explosion of rage and sorrow.We can see he's finally crying,devastated... :_( :_( :_(
-Ennis : -Then why don't you? Why don't you just let me be, huh? (in a slighty softer voice): It's because of you, Jack, that I'm like this! I'm nothing... I'm nowhere...
-
Jack, now looking at Ennis, realizing how hurt and devastated Ennis is, walks over to him to comfort him. Ennis, in typical fashion, reacts quickly and angrily shoving Jack away:
ENNIS: Get the f*** OFF ME!!
Jack will not be deterred and goes back, grabbing Ennis, hugging him mightily as Ennis collapses, sobbing in his arms. Jack, repeating a phrase from SNIT twenty years ago when Ennis came to him in the tent:
JACK: It's alright, it's alright. . . . . Damn you Ennis.
ENNIS: I just can't stand this anymore Jack.
Jack has a flashback to years ago, as described by Annie Proulx:
What Jack remembered and craved in a way he could neither help nor
understand was the time that distant summer on Brokeback when Ennis had come
up behind him and pulled him close, the silent embrace satisfying some
shared and sexless hunger.
They had stood that way for a long time in front of the fire, its
burning tossing ruddy chunks of light, the shadow of their bodies a single
column against the rock. The minutes ticked by from the round watch in
Ennis's pocket, from the sticks in the fire settling into coals. Stars bit
through the wavy heat layers above the fire. Ennis's breath came slow and
quiet, he hummed, rocked a little in the sparklight, and Jack leaned against
the steady heartbeat, the vibrations of the humming like faint electricity
and, standing, he fell into sleep that was not sleep but something else
drowsy and tranced until Ennis, dredging up a rusty but still usable phrase
from the childhood time before his mother died, said, "Time to hit the hay,
cowboy. I got a go. Come on, you're sleepin' on your feet like a horse,"
and gave Jack a shake, a push, and went off in the darkness. Jack heard his
spurs tremble as he mounted, the words "See you tomorrow," and the horse's
shuddering snort, grind of hoof on stone.
Later, that dozy embrace solidified in his memory as the single
moment of artless, charmed happiness in their separate and difficult lives.
Nothing marred it, even the knowledge that Ennis would not then embrace him
face to face because he did not want to see or feel that it was Jack he
held. And maybe, he thought, they'd never got much farther than that. Let
be, let be.

-
oh, jackster, that made me cry.... :_( well done!
The time shifts to the present and we see the tailgate of Ennis's truck and the horses on board. Ennis accelerates, the dust rising into the air from under his wheels. The truck turns left on the dirty dusty road and fades from view.
Jack stares at the departing truck for a long while, his face frozen in a frown.
And we get our last look at Jack while he is alive :_(
-
Ennis is eating a piece of apple pie in a diner when Cassie enters with another masn. upon seeing ennis she approaches him and sits dow opposite him.
Cassie: hey there Ennis del Mar. Where you been?
Ennis: here an' there...
-
-Cassie:-I left word for you with Steve at the ranch. And you must've got those notes I left at your place.
-Ennis : -Looks like I got the message, in any case.(looking at Carl,Cassie's partenaire)
-Cassie : -Carl? Yeah, Carl's nice. He even talks.
-Ennis : -Good for you.
-
Cassie ( with tears in her eyes): Yeah... Good for me.
I don't get you, Ennis Del Mar...
-
ENNIS: I'm sorry.
A tear falls from Cassie's eye as she looks at Ennis. Ennis looks at her like a man lost.
ENNIS: I wus probably no fun anyways wus I.
-
-Cassie (openly crying already):-Ennis, girls don't fall in love with fun!
She runs to Carl and,taking him by his arm,lets the place crying out loud.
-
<NEW SCENE>
Ennis is walking out of the Riverton post offide with his mail when he notices the postcard he sent to Jack about meeting in August. The word "DECEASED" is stamped arcoss it in big red letters...
-
New Scene:
We see a white Trimline telephone, hear its ringing, Lureen picks it up:
LUREEN: Hello.
on the other end of the line we hear:
ENNIS: Hello, this is Ennis DelMar, . . ah . . .
LUREEN: Who? Who is this?
ENNIS: Ennis DelMar, an old buddy of Jacks.
LUREEN: Jack used to mention you. You're the fishin' buddy or the huntin' buddy, I know that. Woulda' let you know whut happened but I wasn't sure about your name or address. Jack kept his friends addresses in his head.
-
-Ennis (with a face that shows he can't believe anything he's hearing): -That's why I'm callin', to see what happened.
-Lureen (she begins to explain the story,as if she was giving the daily news at TV) : -Oh, yeah. Jack was pumpin' up a flat on the truck out on the back road, when the tire blew up. The rim of the tire slammed into his face, broke his nose and jaw and knocked him unconscious on his back. By the time somebody come along, he'd drowned on his own blood. He was only 39 years old.
:_( :_( :_(
-
Ennis whimpers in pain very softly, knowing that it wasn't really the tire rim that killed Jack...
Lureen: Jack used to mention you. You’re the fishing buddy or the hunting buddy, I know that. Would have let you know what happened, but I wasn’t sure about your name and address. Jack kept most a his friends’ addresses in his head.
Ennis "wanted to curse her for letting Jack die on the dirt road"
Ennis: He buried down there? (fighting off tears)
Lureen: They put a stone up. He was cremated like he wanted. Half his ashes was interred here, the rest i sent up to his folks. He used to say he wanted his ashes scattered on Brokeback Mountain, but I didn't know where that was. (Malice in her voice rising now) Knowing Jack, it might'a been some pretend place, where blue-cirds sing and there's a whiskey spring.
-
ENNIS: With a grey face, can barely speak...
No ma’am, we . . . . we wus herdin’ sheep on Brokeback one summer, back in ’63.
Lureen suddenly realizes the connection with this man and her husband.
-
We see how Lureen's eyes fill with tears and,for the very first time we get to see an hint of humanity and sorrow in her...
-Lureen:-Well, he said it was his favorite place. I thought he meant to get drunk. He drank a lot.
-Ennis:-Is his folks still up in Lightning Flats?
-Lureen:-They'll be there till the day they die.
-
Ennis :I thank you for your time. I sure am sorry. We was good friends.
-
Lureen: Get in touch with his folks. I'm sure they'd appreciate it, if his wishes was carried out. 'Bout the ashes I mean.
Phone line goes dead. Ennis begins to cry as he replaces the phone on the hook...
-
new scenes with no dialogue:
Ennis's old pickup pulls into Jack's folks place in Lighting Flat. We see Jack's ma peer out the door then come out onto the porch standing proud to meet Ennis.
Next, Ennis and old man Twist are sitting silently at the dining table, maybe sizing each other up. Jack's ma comes from the kitchen and asks Ennis:
MA TWIST: Want a cup a' coffee don'tcha, piece a' cherry cake?
ENNIS: (smiles at Jack's ma) Yes ma'am, I'll have a cup a' coffee, but I can't eat no cake just now.
-
-Ennis (swallowing his tears):-Thank you. I feel awful bad about Jack.(to Mrs.Twist whe she gives him the cofee): Thank you. I can't begin to tell you how bad I feel. I knew him a long time. I come by to say that if you want me to take his ashes up there on Brokeback, like his wife said he wanted to, then I'll be happy to
-
Old man Twist: "Tell you what, I know where Brokeback Mountain is. He thought he was too goddamn special to be buried in the family plot."
*spits into coffee cup like the disgusting piggish man he is*
-
Old man Twist keeps on puking his words with the clear intention of hurting Ennis:
-Jack used to say..."Ennis del Mar", he used to say. "I'm gonna bring him up here one of these days and we'll lick this damn ranch into shape." He had some half-baked notion the two of you was gonna move up here, build a cabin, help run the place.
Ennis face shows a sad smile,as if he was thinking:-"The old idea of that Jack F@#$ng Twist,the dumbass ¡".
-
O.M.T. continues his bitter little tale:
OMT: Then this spring - got another fella' gonna' come up here with 'em. Build a place - help run the ranch. Some, ranch neighbor a' his from down in Texas.
Ennis looks up at OMT, looks him directly in eye, tryin' to decipher if this is true or just a tale.
OMT: Gonna' split up with his wife an' come back here, - so he says. But like most a Jack's ideas, it never come to pass.
The color drains from Ennis's face as he listens to this story. Ma Twist perhaps sensing his emotional turmoil, puts a comforting hand on his shoulder, says:
Ma TWIST: I kept his room - like it was when he was a boy. I think he appreciated that. You are welcome to go up to his room, if you want.
Ennis can barely speak, but looks up at Ma Twist, swallows and manages a hushed:
ENNIS: Yea, I'd like that, thank you.
-
Ennis slowly acends the stark stairwell, the sound of his boots touching gently on the sacred ground of Jack's childhood.
He opens the door at the top of the stairs and gets his first glimpse into the only world that Jack knew when he was growing up in Lightning Flat.
The air in the room is stifling. He takes in the atmosphere, the tiny bed with its ratty throw, the desk topped with a figuring of a rider on horseback.
Ennis goes to the window and props it open with a length of wood. He sits in the small chair and views the only road Jack ever saw that would lead him out of there.
-
as he looks about the room, his eyes fall upon a small wardrobe.
Ennis approaches it and inspects Jack's old boots and a few shirts, when...
he notices a corner of a blood-stained shirt poking out of a hidden section of the wardrobe. Intrigued, he slowly pulls out the shirt and realises what he has found: his long-lost bloodstained shirt nestled on a wire coathanger with jack's old blue denim shirt...
-
Without believing what he's seeing,Ennis slowly takes the shirt in his arms and embrace it,taking the bloody sleeves in his hand and smelling the clothing as if we has trying to find Jack's well known scent on it.An almost inaudible "I love you" rises from his lips. :_(
-
The French horns swell, and we are hit between the eyes, punched in the stomach, or run over by an 18-wheeler... and our lives are forever changed (all because of a movie!) ... in this one moment, which is over way too soon.
The scene changes and we are comforted by Ma Twist's empathetic nod back in the kitchen.
-
New scene downstairs. Ennis comes down cradling the rolled up shirts in his arms, sheltering them from Old man Twist, but then holds them up for Ma' Twist to see. She nods her head knowingly, gets a paper sack from the counter to put them in. Her hands and Ennis's hands briefly touch as she puts them in the sack. Ennis's eyes are red with grief. In the background OMT continues his vitriol:
OMT: Tell you what. We got a family plot an' he's going in it.
Ma Twist clutches at her throat . . .
ENNIS (can barely contain himself nods): Yessir.
Ma Twist: You come back an' see us again.
Ennis whispers something to her, maybe: You bet.
Ennis turns picks up his hat, exits the little house. On the porch he turns to Ma' Twist and, giving the sack a little shake, says:
ENNIS: Thank you again.
Turns, walks slowly back to his truck, takes a last look at the open window up in Jack's room where the two shirts had been kept for twenty years.
-
New scene:Ennis is putting a number in his mailbox,near his trailer.All of a sudden,he sees a great car approaching and looks to it with curiosity.Is Junior who drives this car.
-Ennis : -Hey there, Junior.
-Junior : -Hey, Daddy.
-Ennis : -Come here. (They embrace and kiss each other).
-
Interchange continue between father and daughter, neither of which is very talkative.
ALMA JR.: Like the car?
ENNIS: Yeah. Is it yours?
ALMA JR: Kurt's.
ENNIS: I thought you're seeing, uh, Troy.
ALMA JR: Troy? Daddy that was two years ago.
ENNIS: Troy still playin' baseball?
ALMA JR: I don't know what he's doin', I'm seeing Kurt now.
ENNIS: Whut does Kurt do?
ALMA JR: Works out in the oil fields.
ENNIS: He's a roughneck, huh?
ALMA JR: (laughs) Yeah.
ENNIS: Well, I guess you're nineteen, you can do whatever you want, is that right?
ALMA JR: Sure.
they move inside Ennis's trailer
-
Once inside,Jr.takes his sweater off and sits down.She looks around the railer to see the sadness that fills everything...
-Junior : -Daddy, you need more furniture.
-Ennis : -Yeah, well...if you got nothin', you don't need nothin'. So what's the occasion?
-Junior : -Me and Kurt...We're getting married.
-Ennis(surprised and toughtful,makes a pause) : -Well...So how long have you known this guy for?
-
ALMA Jr. About a year. The weddin' will June 5th at the Methodist Church. Jenny'll be singing an' Monroe's gonna' cater the reception.
Ennis, still in some shock, becomes dead serious. His face showing deep concern for the well being of his beloved daughter.
ENNIS: This Kurt fella . . . (looks into Jr's eyes) . . he loves you?
ALMA Jr. (Touched and pleased at her fathers concern): Yeah daddy, he loves me.
Ennis now becomes emotional, can't look at Jr. anymore and turns looking away thinking of lost love.
-
Alma Jr.: I was hoping you'd be there...
Ennis continues looking into the distance, and says: Yeah... I think I'm supposed to be on a roundup down near the Tetons....but...
Alma Jr. says nothing, but is clearly disappointed.
Ennis looks at Alma Jr. apologetically. He realizes how big a disappointment this is for Alma Jr.
He puts his coffee cup down, clears his throat, and gets up from his chair, heading for the fridge.
-
Ennis sets down his coffee cup, and in a thoughtful movement not unlike his getting up and going into the tent to see Jack in the SNIT scene, makes up his mind - has a change of heart . . . gets up, goes to fridge, pours some old white wine in two glasses.
ENNIS: You know whut, I reckon they can find themselves a new cowboy . . (Alma's face changes instantly from disappointment to joy) . . my little girl, . . . gettin' married, . . . huh?
(Ennis gives a glass to Jr. and he toasts them)
To Alma an' Kurt.
-
Next scene: Ennis is seeing Jr. going away on her car.When he enters into his trailer,he realises she has left her jacket there;he goes out again to see if she is coming back,but there's nobody out there.Again inside the trailer,he folds the clothing carefully and leaves it into his wardrobe.By opening it,he looks at his little BBM sanctuary; a postcard of the place when they lived their love over the two shirts on the same hanger.This time his over Jack's as if it was protecting it forever,as if himself was protecting Jack the way he couldn't when his lover was alive... :_( He buttons it as carefully as he did before with his daughter's jacket and caresses it lovingly.His eyes are full with tears when he muses:-"Jack,I swear...".He straightens the BBM postcard before closing the wardrobe,that gives place to an open window to his reality...

BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN
Wyoming, 1963. Early morning, sun has not yet risen over the mountains, but the sky is brightening. We see a lone semi-trailer truck along a deserted Wyoming highway. The strings of a guitar echo in the background. The truck pulls up to a stop, the brakes puff. Passenger cab door opens and out jumps a young man, Ennis Del Mar, dressed in jeans, white checked shirt, boots and cowboy hat, carries his canvas coat and a paper sack. Truck pulls away, young man walks through the deserted early morning town. Finally comes to rest at a trailer office door, leans against the wall, has a smoke, dozes.
In the distance we hear an old pickup backfire. It pulls into the lot of the trailer office, roughly comes to a sputtering halt. Out jumps another young man, Jack Twist, dressed in blue jeans and black cowboy hat. He angrily slams the pickup door, kicks the fender of the truck.
JACK: Shit.
He stands lookin' at the truck for a moment, then slowly turns and sees he's not alone. Jack walks towards and stares at Ennis who chooses to ignore Jack, minds his own business. Jack eventually turns around heads back to his truck.
-
Jack looks both sides,adopts a provocative posture leaning on his truck and gives an more intense glance to Ennis just before lowering his head.In the following scene,we see Ennis sitting in the trailer staircase towards the trunk rear view mirror,that is used by Jack-who is shaving-to keep on looking at him.
-
A Rambler sedan comes rushing into the lot. Ennis jumps up as if he was expecting to be hit by the front bumper. Joe Aguirre gets out heads to his office trailer, slams the door. The boys watch expectantly waiting for some word. Finally, Aguirre comes back, opens the door yells out:
You pair a’ deuces lookin’ for work, I suggest you get your scrawny asses in here pronto.
The boys enter the office. Ennis leans casually against the wall, Jack stands defiant, legs spread, thumbs in jeans pockets.
Aguirre lays out his plan for the boys summer: Up on Brokeback the Forest Service got designated campsites on the allotments. Them camps can be three, four miles from where we pasture the woolies. Bad predator loss if there’s nobody lookin’ after ‘em at night. Now what I want is the camp tender (looking at Ennis) stay in the main camp where the Forest Service says. But the herder (lookin’ at Jack) he’s gonna’ pitch a pup tent on the QT with the sheep an’ he’s gonna’ sleep there. Eat your supper and breakfast in camp but ya’ sleep with the sheep, 100%. No fire. Don’t leave no sign, you roll up that tent every mornin’ case the Forest Service snoops around.
Aguirre’s phone rings and he answers: Yeah. - No. NO! Not on your fu**in’ life!
Meanwhile the boys shuffle around, now that they know they'll be livin' together Ennis catches a glance a’ Jack while he’s not lookin’, Jack does the same of Ennis, checkin’ out his partner for the next three months.
-
-Aguirre(when stops talking)-You got your dogs, your thirty-thirty, you sleep there. Last summer I had goddamn near 25% loss, I don't want that again.(pointing Ennis and throwing a watch to him):-You. Fridays at noon be down at the bridge with your grocery list and mules... and somebody with supplies will be there at the pick-up. Tomorrow morning we'll truck you up to the jump-off.
-
Aguirre lights a cig and sits down, dials his phone. Looks up at the two boys, and without a word lets 'em know they've been dismissed. They turn, put on their hats, and head for the door. Outside, Jack pauses, lights up. Ennis is studying the unfamiliar watch, and how it fits. Jack turns to Ennis and extends his hand:
JACK: Jack Twist.
Ennis, somewhat shy, but extends his hand and looks Jack in the eye:
ENNIS: Ennis.
The boys touch for the first, but not last, time. Jack shakes his head hello, and then with his salesman banter, begins his task of opening up his shy, but arresting partner.
(https://ennisjack.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi139.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fq313%2Fjackster545%2FBBMhandshake.jpg&hash=c3ff2d7d58ff31f6180b83393c23130d6bc3a98a)
JACK: Your folks just stop at Ennis?
Shy Ennis nervously starts fussing with the watch again, not looking directly at Jack, replies simply:
ENNIS: DelMar.
JACK: Nice to know you, Ennis DelMar.
-
Jack is looking at Ennis from head to toe,as checking him up (or surely doing it...).In the next scene,we see them walking towards the tavern,Ennis following Jack.It seems a metaphor of their respective way of seeing life and living through it; Jack walking firmly,sure of himself,as dominating the situation,while Ennis grasps his only possesions that can fill a paper bag,looking at the floor and with a rather shier steps.
Once in the tavern Jack drinks from the beer bottle's neck and says:
-My second year up here. Last year, one storm, the lightning killed 42 sheep. I thought I'd asphyxiate from the smell.
-
Scene in the bar continues:
JACK: Aguirre got all over my ass like I was supposed to control the weather. But . . . beats workin' for my ol' man, can't please my ol' man - no way. That's why I took to rodeoin', . . . (gives Ennis a good look) You ever rodeo?
ENNIS: (seems overwhelmed by all this personal information that Jack's spelling out for him in just the first few minutes since they met, shakes his head yes, then no, then yes) Ya know ah, . . I mean once in a while, when I got the entry fee in my pocket, . . yeah.
-
Jack: You from ranch people?
-
-Ennis : -Yeah, I was.
-Jack : -Your folks run you off?
-Ennis(with a slight and sad smile): -No, they run themselves off. There was a...one curve in the road in 43 miles and... they miss it. So... the bank took the ranch and my brother an sister, they raised me mostly.
-
Jack: Shit...that's hard.
]
-
Both boys stare straight ahead for awhile while Ennis's words sink in. Maybe Ennis never realized how hard it was either until he had to speak the words just now. Finally, Ennis reaches in his jacket pocket for the remains of the cig he'd flicked out earlier while waiting in front of the trailer. Puts it in his mouth and reaches towards Jack whose been fingering the lighter in his right hand while it rests on the bar.
ENNIS: Can I?
Jack awakes from his thoughts, glances at Ennis, hands him the lighter. Ennis lights the butt.
Scene fades out.
-
New scene; the boys are preparing for their trip to the mountain.Ennis is tying the saddle of his horse,while the Basque is talking without stopping:
-Basque:-Don't let them stray. Joe will have your ass if you do. Only thing, don't never order soup. Them soup boxes are hard to pack.
-Ennis :-I don't eat soup. ( to Jack,shouting ) :-You wanna watch it there! That horse has a low startle point.
-
Jack gets his horse under control, rides up to Ennis, says confidently: I doubt there's a filly that can throw me. Let's git unless you wanna stand around tyin' knots all day.
-
In the first of many wordless scenes, Ennis "replies" to Jack with a look filled with expression . . . .
(https://ennisjack.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi139.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fq313%2Fjackster545%2FEnnis-glance.jpg&hash=bdb36d32bbfd301bb438d7ae58c69bd3d994f373)
-
You forgot:
Jack is trying out his horse while Ennis checks with the Basque on the sheep and supplies,
Basque: Don't let them stray... Joe will have your a** if you do! One more thing... Don't never order soup... Them soup boxes are hard to pack!
Ennis: Don't eat soup.
( Only then he turns to Jack about a horse... :) )
-
huh? see #11912 ???
-
Next scene: We see our boys beginning the journey to the mountain,driving the sheep through hills and rivers.Once there we see them also doing some tasks for the campside.After,Jack is alone on the mountain by night,sitting in a trunk and smoking;he looks at the campside,trying to feel himself closer to Ennis,but only the fire is seen.
-
New Scene: In the main camp. Ennis is cooking breakfast, heating cans of beans and frying food. Jack is sitting on a log, yawns, after a long night with the sheep.
Jack: Oh sh*t! I can't wait until I get my own spread and I won't have to put up with Joe Aguirre's crap no more!
-
-Ennis :-I'm saving for a place myself. Alma and me, we're gonna get married when I come down off this mountain.
-Jack(he seems not to hear his fellow) :-Shit, that "Stay with the sheep, no fire" bullshit. Aguirre got no right making us do something against the rules.
-
Two wordless Ennis scenes (where he's trying to figure out this guy he's spending the summer with), follow . . .
Ennis silently reflects on Jack's complaint about Aguirre:
(https://ennisjack.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi139.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fq313%2Fjackster545%2FEnnis-face.jpg&hash=a8556fd013fbc23a609fd5ca226e0ea2c665e6db)
Jack mounts his horse to return to the sheep, his horse chop-hops a bit,
Ennis looks on, silently watches Jack ride away.
(https://ennisjack.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi139.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fq313%2Fjackster545%2FEnniswatchingJack.jpg&hash=926645bb4c7be0dd64d4be2993c4ae23d7963ece)
-
The next scenes are wordless too and they show us the boys daily life.In the first one,we see Jack sleeping up on the mountain while taking care of the sheep.In the second one,Ennis is inside the tent in a rainy day; while he's carving a little wooden horse he looks up to the mountain as if he was looking for Jack.In the third scene,this last one is going to the mountain again on his horse after having had dinner with Ennis.
-Jack:-No more beans ¡
-
The montage of scenes from daily life on the mountain continues with the camp tender, Ennis, scrubbing out the coffee pot in the stream, looking up at the mountain (in envy?) and in Annie's words . ". . Ennis looked across a great gulf and sometimes saw Jack, a small dot moving across a high meadow, as an insect moves across a tablecloth . . ."
Next we see Jack, up on the mountain moving the sheep, he spies a coyote and impulsively jumps into action, takes aim, fires, and misses, the coyote trots away . . .
JACK (to himself): Dammit. . . Shit!
-
Next scene: Ennis has gone to the place under the bridge where he must meet the Basque in order to command the food supplies.He is looking the supplie's list a little surprised.
-Ennis : -I don't know.
-Basque :-Something wrong?
-Ennis : -Yeah, so what... Why didn't we get the powdered milk and the spuds?
-Basque : -That's all we got!
-
- But you didn't eat soup.
- Yeah, but I'm sick of beans.
- Too early in this summer to be sick a'beans (love that line).
-
Next scene: We see Ennis coming back to the campfire with the supplies,when a bear appears in front of him.The horse begins to fear and jump and the mules want to run away.
-Ennis ( to the mules ) :-Hold on! Whoa... Shit! Whoa! Come back here!
Meanwhile,Jack returns to the campfire and,surprised by seeing there's nobody there,sits on a trunk drinking whiskey and waiting for Ennis...and the food ¡.
-
We hear the breaking of small branches and the approach of horses hooves.
ENNIS: Whoa there, whoa. Ah, . (as Ennis dismounts). . f**kit. There ya' bast . . .
JACK: (Indignant) Where the hell you been? Been up with the sheep all day I get down here hungry as hell and all I find is beans.
ENNIS: (muttering something) storms past Jack, his head all bloodied.
JACK: Whut in the hell happened Ennis?
-
Ennis: - I came on a bear is what happened.
Jack gives him a flask.
Ennis: - Got whisky or some?
Jack wets his necktie and tries to wipe Ennis's blood off. Ennis, angry, takes the necktie from Jack and starts wiping himself.
-
Ennis keeps on explaining what has happenned with the bear:
-Goddamn horse spooked and the mules took off...and scattered food everywhere. Beans is about all we got left. Got whiskey or something? Dumb-ass mule! I can't believe that...God damn...
When he insists in wiping himself,Jack looks deceived for a while.After that,he talks about the food's problem:
-Well, we gotta do something about this food situation. Maybe I'll shoot one of the sheep.
-Ennis : -Yeah, what if Aguirre finds out, huh? We're supposed to guard the sheep, not eat them.
-Jack : -What's the matter with you? There are a thousand of them.
-
Ennis continues to wipe his head, looks even more troubled
ENNIS: I'll stick with beans.
Jack turns away from Ennis, and almost like a pouting child declares.
JACK: Well I won't.
New scene. New day. Ennis is carefully staring down the barrel of his rifle while Jack watches on. Fires a shot and an elk drops to the ground.
Jack overcome with excitement jumps up, gives Ennis a friendly shove.
JACK: Whooee! Yeah!
Ennis turns and returns the favor landing Jack on his butt, then confidently turns back and grinning confidently says:
ENNIS: Gettin' tired a your dumbass missin'.
-
-Jack(laughing very happily):-What...? (Immediately,he gets closer to Ennis-actually,it seems as if he was going to kiss him...-to tell him almost in a whisper:-Let's get a move on. Don't want the Game and Fish to catch us with no elk.
In the following scene,we see the two of them sitting one by the other's side and eating eagerly the elk this night.
-
JACK complaining..: Arghh, ugh. . . . yeah, I'm commutin' four hours a day, I come in for breakfast, I go back to the sheep. Evening get 'em bedded down, come in for supper, go back to the sheep. Spend half the night checkin' for damn coyotes'.
slams his rifle down next to Ennis to get his attention, continues... Aguirre got no right ta' make me do this!
-
ENNIS: You wanna' switch - I wouldn't mind sleepin' out there.
-
JACK: That ain't the point . . .
Point is, we both oughtta' be in this camp.
Goddamn pup tent smells like cat piss or worse.
-
ENNIS: I wouldn't mind bein' out there.
-
Jack: Well I'm happy to switch but I warn you...I can't cook worth a damn...But I'm pretty good with a can opener... :)
-
-Ennis : -You can't be no worse than me, then.
Next scene:Ennis is preparing his horse to ride up to the mountain with the sheep.Jack approaches.
-Jack : -You won't get much sleep, I'll tell you that.
-Ennis : -Yup. ( to his horse ) Come on...
Jack remains looking at him as he's riding away,with an expression mixed with pleasure when admires his friend's look and with satisfaction for having got something more from him.
-
Ennis comes back and starts undressing, taking off his shirt and socks:
- I've shot a coyote up there. Big son of a bitch. Balls are the size of apples, looked as if he could eat himself a camel. Do you need some of that hot water?
- No, it's all yours.
Jack is peeling potatoes, and Ennis - absolutely nacked with only his hat on - is washing himself - every part of his body. Jack keeps peeling and smoking, trying not to look at his partner, but the way he swallows and chews the cigar butt shows his excitement...
-
Next scene:Jack is pissing giving his back to Ennis,who is eating beans.He murmures an ambiguous "Mmmmmh" that we can't atribute only to how good the beans are...Jack finishes and approaches to his friend showing in an exxaggerated way his buckle and,maybe,something else where he wants him to put his eyes.
-Ennis:-I don't rodeo much myself. I mean, what's the point of riding some piece of stock for eight seconds ?
-Jack (sitting on a truck):-Money's a good point.
-

;D ;D ;D :^^) I LOVE YOU, MPJ!!!! &**)
Ennis speaks about his parents death and his sister getting married, no more room for him...
- That's how me end up here.
Jack looks a bit puzzled and pleased at the same time.
Ennis: What?
- That's more words that you spoke in the past two weeks.
- That's the most that I speak in a year. (continuing) Don't rodeo much myself, my dad said rodeos were all fuckups.
- The hell they are.
-
*o) Oh,thank you ¡ You have really made my day ¡ ;D :^^)
Ennis murmures a half shy,half ironic,half provoking "Well..." while Jack almost jumps over him by shouting an stentoreous "Yeeeehaawwww" ¡.After that,he begins to jump and dance while he sings:
-I'm spurring his guts out! Waving to the girls in the stands! He's kicking me to high heaven, but he don't jackboard me! No!
Ennis is laughing and tells him:-There you go ¡ and tries to warn his friend who is going to fall,what it happens.
-Ennis:-I think my dad was right ¡
Both boys are laughing like crazy.
-
Next we see a series of seven brief scenes with no dialogue, just Santaolalla's comforting background music accompanying big sky views of the boys on horseback moving the sheep to a higher pasture. It's clear they have become friends, good friends, and are enjoying their summer routine together. Finally we see them in their new camp, Jack relaxes against a log (even though he's now the camp tender) with his harmonica, while Ennis busies himself erecting the tent. Finally stands back to look at his work::
ENNIS: Um, Tent don't look right.
JACK: Well, it ain't goin' nowhere. Let it be.
-
- The harmonica don't sound quite right either.
- It got flattened when that mare threw me.
- I thought you said that mare couldn't throw you.
- She got lucky.
- If I got lucky, that harmonica would have broke in two.
-
Jack stops playing the harmonica and laughs with the nicest laugh one can hear...
Next scene: Jack is singing in the campfire while Ennis is playing "drums" by beating the ast.
-Jack:- I know I shall meet you on that final day.
Water Walking Jesus,
take me away!
-Ennis:-Very good.
-
Jack: My mom, she believes in the Pentecost
Ennis: What exactly is the Pentecost?
Jack: I don't know, I don't know what the Pentecost is. I guess this is when fellas like you and me march off to hell.
Ennis: Speak for yourself, you might be a sinner, but I ain't yet had an opportunity.
-
While he's saying this,Ennis looks at Jack with a smile in his mouth and his eyes.Jack smiles at his turn and says an Hummmm that promises a lot...He gives Ennis the whiskey bottle and keep on drinking.
Next scene (the great moment is coming ¡ :d) ).It's already nigh and one can see that both boys have been drinking too much,specially Ennis.
-
MPJ, guess the great night won't be mine, so leave me my second great night!!!! (:* (:* (:*
Jack smiles at his turn and says an Hummmm that promises a lot...
I still love ya, MPJ <^( :h:
Next scene
It's already late in the evening (or even late at night). Boys are both drunk as hell, esp. Ennis lying at the fire.
- I must go to them sheep. (thinking better of it) Too late to go to them sheep now. (makes up his mind to spend the night at the fire)
Jack: You'll freeze your ass when that fire goes down.
- Uh-uh
Jack: (giving him a blanket) Alright
-
The fire dies.
Ennis freezes.
Wakes Jack with his snorting.
JACK: ENNIS!
ENNIS: Whut?
JACK: Jus' quit your hammerin' an' get in here!
-
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (:* (:* (:* (t) (t) (t) &**) &**) &**)
The bright moon moves about the sky whereas Jack's hand moves to Ennis's as he drags his partner's fingers to his erect c*ck. Jack nestles his nose in the pillow. Ennis gives a start and tries to push Jack away from him, but instead he can't help holding him close to his breast, caressing his hair... Jack starts to unbelt his jeans, and this very moment Ennis realizes he can't contain himself any longer, turns Jack around putting him on all fours and quickly entering him. You can hear Jack whispering 'f*** me' or... you can't :P It depends :i This love scene is so powerful, so passionate, both the boys are so horny and hot... No wonder it took them a couple of minutes to come &**) and fall fast asleep :gnight:
-
(t) (t) (t) A very lived description,Dangerina ¡
Next scene:We see Jack in a first place sleeping peacefully; by his side,Ennis awakes with a terrible headache.When he gets up,he looks at his friend to all of a sudden realising what has happenned that night.He dresses up quickly and prepares his horse to go up to the mountain,when Jack appears.
-
- See you for supper, - says Jack looking miserable.
Ennis mumbles something and drives away. The moment he comes to the herd, he realized that something has gone wrong - just before he sees a sheep that has been attacked by predators - as a symbol of his own sin.
-
I'm reading your BBM Recital. Wow that's wonderful! O0 I love it so much... please don't stop! :)
-
Why not joining us& ::)
-
Why not joining us& ::)
I wish I could. But my english is not good. Yes, I can read english, but writing is really too hard. Moreover, if I watch the movie in english, I can't understand anything. So I depend on you smart Brokies #)
-
What are subtitles for? It's great to watch the movie in the original, I tell you...
BTW, how do Italian translator interpret the last Ennis's words?
-

Last sentence "Jack, I swear" is translated into "Jack, io giuro". This translation is literal and perfect; the interpreter is great.
Yeah, I watched the original english movie. Subtitles helped me, even if I already know what the two boys say because I have seen the movie, in italian, so many times...
But I have to say that the italian version is much more impressive, exciting and emotional, and this is because of the language. For my latin ear, event if actors are great, english language sounds so inexpressive and shallow... but if you watch the italian version of the movie, MY GOD... you will have the chills for almost every sentence!!!
-
*o)
Certo, I so agree with you EVAP, though I'm a '2x-non-native-speaker' this time :-X. The original is the original, amen to that (:*. But there's something very expressive in the Italian characters of Ennis and Jack, especially in Ennis, to my 'fonetic mother tongue' ears. I so like Ennis saying "Non ce la faccio più, Jack, non ce la faccio più". Jack's voice is relatively close to the original one.
Jugde for yourself: a sample can be dowloaded here (http://www.sendspace.com/file/vstzhg) (6.45 Mt, scroll down for the download link, sorry for the ads). It's 5:38 long from "I guess I'll head up on to Lightnin' Flat..." to "I just can't stand this anymore, Jack" & "Jack, I swear".
-
Our Russian interpreters then did a bad job, as Ennis's "Jack, I swear" they translated as "I still remember you". %&)
Well, I've seen some Italian episodes, esp. the one where Ennis holds Jack to himself beside the fire, the voices are ok, that's true, but... I miss Heath's and Jake's voices, I mean the words they actually pronounced and keep translating their talks into English to myself...
Btw, we are offtopic >:D

Wow rdx sei un mito! You are great!
I totally agree with you. I listen your sample, grazie. Audio only, with no images. I can't explain my emotions. Listen Ennis and jack's voice and let my mind remember the video... I can't go ahead ~)
Ok... lets restart the Recital? ;)
-
A whole series of wordless scenes capture the conflicts and thoughts of Ennis and Jack. Ennis realizes what he's done, what it means, and who he is. Finally, before supper, he sees that Jack has come up to where he's guarding the sheep. Ennis walks over to where Jack is reclining on the ground, crouches down next to Jack silently while they both stare out at the sheep and the fading mountains. Eventually Ennis gathers his spare words, and without looking at Jack says:
ENNIS: This is a one-shot thing we got goin' on here.
-
JACK: Nobody's business but ours.
ENNIS: I'm not queer.
JACK: Me neither.
-
Both keep on looking at the horizon,without daring to look at each other directly.By night,after having supered,we see Jack taking off his clothes inside the tent,while Ennis,sitting on a trunk,appears really nervous and doubtful.After having looked at Jack twice,he gets up and goes to the tent;he enters shily,with his hat in hand (maybe for covering something?...)and approaches to his friend slowly.Jack gets up and look at him with the loveliest glance in the world,while taking off the hat and caressing his hand softly... (t) (t) (t)
-
he enters shily,with his hat in hand (maybe for covering something?...)
(:* (:* (:*You're my idol ;D ;D ;D
Ennis tries to look away, but can't help leaning forth as if wanting to kiss Jack, though it's perfectly obvious he's VERY embarrassed and shy. Jack's eyes are beautiful as hell and blue as heaven. The only look of his can petrify... He touches Ennis's cheek with his rough cowboy hand, his fingers caressing his partner's temple... Jack moves his face closer to Ennis's, his lips whispering a subaudible 'Come here' just before he presses his longing mouth against his partner's pursed lips in an attempt to kiss him. First Ennis tries to move over and stand off, but finally surrenders. His face looks as if he would burst out sobbing this very moment...
- I'm sorry, - whispers Ennis when their lips part.
- It's alright, - nods Jack holding Ennis's head in his palms...- Lie back, come on, - and helps his partner to lie down...
Their hands move about each other's bodies as if they would absorb each other and become one single whole... Ennis's desire is too obvious, his face distorted by tormenting pain... Jack is so tender and caressing, kissing Ennis's forehead, willing to give him comfort and relief.
Jack finally gets down to what is expected of him, moving atop of Ennis and covering his face and lips with hot kisses. Ennis lifts up his head to kiss him back, while his hands are stroking Jack's strong arms...
-
(:* (:* (:*You're my idol ;D ;D ;D
:t) so much ¡ Even if I'm the guilty of everything ¡ ;) ;D
Next scene: we see Jack outside the tent when Ennis,going out from it,is making fun with him taking his hat off.Jack runs behind him and when he catches him,they "fight" in fun.When they fall on the ground,we see a supposed kiss...What we also see immediately after,is that Aguirre is spying them...
-
New scene: In camp. Ennis has gone up to the sheep. Jack is chopping wood. Joe Aguirre rides up on his horse and stares at Jack with inquired eyes.
Aguirre : Twist, your Uncle Harold's in the hospital with pneumonia. Docs don't expect he'll make it. Aguirre pauses for a moment, then continues: You ma sent me to tell you...so here I am.
-
-Jack :-Bad news! There ain't nothing I can do about it up here, I guess.
-Aguirre :-There's no much you can do about it down there, neither.(He looks up to the mountain,where is Ennis looking after the sheep) Not unless you can cure pneumonia.(he finishes mischievously,while Jack is also looking to where his lover is and after looks to Aguirre suspiciously).
-
The weather is getting nasty (oh yeah, not only Jack can be nasty >:D), the hail is starting to rattle on the tent... The boys are in a great hurry to cover all their belongings and get into the tent. Ennis:
- The sheep will drift if I don't get back there tonight!
- You'll get pitched off your mount in a storm like this! - Jack cries out. - And you'll wish you hadn't tried it. It's too cold, close it up.
They close the tent.
-
Next scene:After the storm,all the sheep are got mixed with the ones from others owners; the basque sheperds are examining and counting them.Ennis and Jack are looking it on their horses with a worried expression in their faces.
-Ennis :-What are we supposed to do now, huh?
-Jack :-Get on in there and untangle them Chilean sheep out of ours, I guess.
-
Ennis is still on horseback, but Jack is walking around on the ground separating Aguirre's flock from the Chilean flock.
Jack dragging a sheep across the pasture: Damn, half the god*amn paint brands have worn off!
Ennis: We gotta try...the least we can do is get the count right for Aguirre.
Jack, still dragging one of the sheep: F**k Aguirre!!!! :)
Ennis: Oh yeah... f*** Aguirre... whut if we need to work for him again, huh? You think o' that? We gotta stick this out, Jack!
( I just love the different moods of the boys. Ennis: so serious and worried, then Jack: like he couldn't care less)
-
Next scene:Jack and Ennis are coming back on their horses.The first one is playing his harmonica.
-Ennis:-You'll run them sheep off again if you don't quiet down
Jack looks at him with a nice smile while he keeps on playing,and Ennis gives him an smile back with a love's look in his eyes. <^(
-
Ennis wakes up in the pup tent. Something is wrong. He shivers. He stumbles outside the tent, the blanket draped around his shoulders. The world outside has turned into something out of the Chronicles of Narnia! The ground is covered with snow. The mountains are iced in white. Ennis is freezing cold.
-
Ennis comes to Jack and sees him getting ready to raise the camp.
Ennis: What are you doing?
Jack: Aguirre came back, said my uncle didn't die after all. Said to bring them down.
Ennis: Bring them down? Why? It's the middle of August.
Jack: Said there's a storm coming.
Ennis: That snow barely stuck an hour. That son of a bitch is cutting us of a whole month's pay.
Jack: I'll spare you a loan bud, if you're short on cash. I'll give it to you when we get to Signal.
Ennis (hurt): I don't need your money, I ain't in the poor house.
Jack: Alright.
Ennis looks very angry and upset, pecking at the ground with a stick.
-
Next scene:Jack is finishing his packing when he looks at Ennis,who looks very upset and sad,sitting on the ground.A compassionate love's glance appears in Jack's face; he approaches to his lover wrapping him with the lasso,by trying to make him smile.
-Jack:-Time to get going, cowboy !
Ennis gets up without a word.While he's going down the hill,Jack wrapps his feet with the lasso again,making him fall on the ground.Ennis then grasps the lasso to make Jack fall also.
-Ennis:-This ain't no rodeo, cowboy!
-Jack (falling in the end):-Oh,shit ¡
-
The boys are rolling down the hill fighting - first playfully, then Ennis gets angry and starts to beat Jack for serious. Jack hits back. When they get back to their feet Jack hits Ennis's nose with the knee, and looks troubled seeing blood on his lover's face. Jack tries to soothe Ennis, caressing his face, but the cowboy won't have, blows his partner a punch, and goes away. Jack is on the ground moaning - this time from pain :P :(
-
Next scene: We see them coming down from the mountain on their horses with very serious faces and Jack's with a bruise.In the following scene,there're an awful mess with Aguirre's sheep,that has been mixed with the ones from others owners.Both boys are leaned against a fence while Aguirre is looking at the mess and at them with an angry look.
-Aguirre : -Some of these never went up there with you. Count ain't what I'd hoped for, neither. You ranch stiffs, you ain't never no good.
-
We see the boys parting now. Ennis rummaging his sack looking for the 'lost' shirt:
- Can't imagine I've lost that damned shirt up there.
Jack looks as innocent as he can in a situation like that >:D and nods. Ennis looks askance at Jack.
Jack:
- Will come back next year?
- Like I said Alma and me are getting married in November, and I'll find myself a ranch job. You?
- Perhaps, if the army don't get me.
- I guess I'll see you round then?
- Right.
They part, Ennis goes along the road, and Jack drives his car away from that place looking at his lover in the rear-view mirror...
-
Ennis passes near an alley.Suddenly,he approaches to the wall where he leans,as if he wanted to puke...Instead of this,he bagins to cry desperately and beat the wall with his fist.He longs for Jack,doubtless.A man who is passing near,stops by looking at him.
-Ennis (angrily) :-What the f*** are you looking at? Huh?
-
Next scene takes us way long to the community church where Ennis and Alma are getting married. They both look serious and a bit worried. The priest pronounces the prayer and asks the groom to kiss his bride:
- Or I'll do it for you.
Ennis leans forth and kisses Alma - carefully, as if touching smth for the first time, but no tenderness or passion sparkle in his eyes.
-
In the next scenes we see some aspects of the new life of Ennis and Alma.They are falling down an snowy hill and fall laughing and joking.
-Ennis : -You're all right ? Huh? (He begins to thrown some snow to her)
-Alma : -No... Stop! No please, don't! (Both of them laugh).
-
New scene: It is a hot and sunny day...Ennis is laying asphalt on a road with another worker.
Worker, in a joking manner: My old lady's tryin' to get me to quit this job! Says I'm gettin' too old to be breakin' my back shoveling asphalt...I told her...strong backs & weak minds runs in the family.
He laughs at his own joke and continues: She didn't think that was too funny. I told her it keeps me fit!
Ennis, distracted, looks out in the distance but doesn't reply...
-
New scene: Ennis and Alma are inside the car watching a movie.She is reclined over her husband's shoulder and takes his hand over her belly;we know she's already pregnant.We heard some of the movie's dialogues:
-Morning...
-Morning.
-Pulled in last night? Didn't want to wake you up.
-Oh no, I was just...
-I thought I'd tell you before the Sergeant showed up. Parking this trailer on the beach is illegal.
Next scene:Jack goes to Aguirre's trailer looking for a job.Aguirre receives him with an ironic smile and tone in his voice.
-
new scene: We see Jack's old truck back in Signal, pulls into Aguirre's parking lot with the radio playin'. Then- bang, bang, bang, on Aguiree's door.
AGUIRRE: Yeah!
Jack enters the little office again.
AGUIRRE: Well look what the wind blew in.
JACK: Hi Mr. Aguirre. Wonderin' if you need any help this summer.
AGUIRRE: You're wastin' you're time here.
JACK: You ain't got nuthin'? Nuthin' up on Brokeback?
AGUIRRE: (snarls) Ain't got no work for you.
Jack looks a little stunned, quietly shakes his head, turns to leave. At the door, curiosity (and maybe lust) get to him, he turns back around and asks:
JACK: Ennis DelMar ain't been around has he?
-
-Aguirre (looking ay him ironically and with some depiction) : -You boys sure found a way to make the time pass up there. Twist... you guys wasn't gettin' paid to leave the dogs baby-sit the sheep while you stemmed the rose. Now get the hell out of my trailer.
Jack leaves the trailer feeling devastated and humiliated.
-
New scene: Alma is hanging some freshly washed laundry on the line to dry - it is very windy and cold. She sees Ennis's truck, pulling a horse float, approaching from a distance.
New scene: Ennis enters the house and approaches Alma, who is scrubbing clothes on a washboard at the kitchen sink. The radio is blaring, the children are crying. Ennis hugs her from behind.
Ennis asks: How are my girls doing?
-
-Alma : -All right. Jenny's still got a runny nose.
Ennis goes and see the girls,trying to comfort them.
-Alma : -Ennis, could you wipe Alma Jr.'s nose?
-Ennis (very busy holding the two babies): -If I had three hands, I could! Come here, come here. Oh...
-
New scene. Ennis comes into the bedroom wearing his skimpy "wife-beater" undershirt and sexy pajama bottoms, sits down on the bed, tired and bending forward, he exhales and his shirt rises and pajama pull down to give us a tantalizing view of . . . :d). Alma comes into the room, and in a recreation of the Dozy Embrace pose, puts her arms around Ennis and asks:
ALMA: Girls alright?
ENNIS: Yeah. Jenny stopped her coughin'. I should take the girls inta town this weekend, get 'em an ice cream . . . . sumthin.
-
-Alma (kissing and caressing him):-Ennis, can't remove to town ? I'm tired of these lonesome old ranches. No one for Alma Junior to play with. Besides, I'm scared for Jenny...scared if she has another one of them bad asthma spells.
-Ennis : -No, rent in town is too high...
-Alma : -There's a cheap place in Riverton, over the Laundromat. I bet I could fix it up real nice.
-Ennis (looking a little bored) : -I bet you could fix this place up real nice if you wanted to.
