LUREEN: Oh yeah. Jack was pumping up a flat on the truck out on a back road when the tire blew up...

hpv · « **Reply #10351 on:** Feb 03, 2008, 05:17 PM »

...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?

bruxa23 · « **Reply #10354 on:** Feb 04, 2008, 12:38 AM »

ENNIS:He buried down there?

jackster · « **Reply #10355 on:** Feb 04, 2008, 03:58 PM »

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.

bruxa23 · « **Reply #10358 on:** Feb 05, 2008, 04:05 AM »

ENNIS:His folks still up in Lightnin' Flat?

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?

bruxa23 · « **Reply #10362 on:** Feb 05, 2008, 01:56 PM »

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)

jackster · « **Reply #10363 on:** Feb 05, 2008, 02:02 PM »

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.

bruxa23 · « **Reply #10364 on:** Feb 05, 2008, 02:08 PM »

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

hpv · « **Reply #10365 on:** Feb 05, 2008, 06:12 PM »

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.

jackster · « **Reply #10366 on:** Feb 05, 2008, 06:42 PM »

ENNIS:

Yeah, ma'am I'd like that.

chameau · « **Reply #10367 on:** Feb 05, 2008, 10:54 PM »

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.

bruxa23 · « **Reply #10368 on:** Feb 05, 2008, 11:11 PM »

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....

hpv · « **Reply #10371 on:** Feb 06, 2008, 12:52 PM »

Alma Jr. :Hey daddy, like the car?

jackster · « **Reply #10372 on:** Feb 06, 2008, 12:57 PM »

ENNIS:

(nods)

Ugh, yeah.

Is it yours?

bruxa23 · « **Reply #10373 on:** Feb 06, 2008, 01:00 PM »

ALMA JR.:It's Kurt's.

NoReins · « **Reply #10374 on:** Feb 07, 2008, 07:15 AM »

ENNIS: Kurt? I thought you was seein' Troy?

hpv · « **Reply #10375 on:** Feb 07, 2008, 10:59 AM »

Alma Jr: Troy? Daddy that was 2 years ago!

NoReins · « **Reply #10376 on:** Feb 07, 2008, 11:01 AM »

ENNIS: Huh. Well. Troy still playin' baseball?

hpv · « **Reply #10377 on:** Feb 07, 2008, 11:04 AM »

Alma Jr: I don't know what he's doin', I'm seein' Kurt now.

NoReins · « **Reply #10378 on:** Feb 07, 2008, 11:09 AM »

ENNIS: Well, what does Kurt do?

hpv · « **Reply #10379 on:** Feb 07, 2008, 11:18 AM »

Alma Jr: He works on the oil fields.
