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!
Ennis’s eyes gone bright with shock, mouth opening then closing again. “Love?” Ennis said finally, voice strangling in his throat.

Jack smiled sad. “Yeah, Ennis. Love.” Leaned forward and kissed Ennis’s temple, whispered, “What’d you think it was, all this time?”

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...

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. 

"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 miss you so much I can hardly stand it."

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.

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.

Monroe:  Alma, it's okay.  I'll take care of it.

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...
