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...

jackster · « **Reply #11255 on:** Jul 08, 2009, 09:33 AM »

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.

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?

myprivatejack · « **Reply #11260 on:** Jul 09, 2009, 10:15 AM »

-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.

jesseanne21 · « **Reply #11261 on:** Jul 09, 2009, 01:31 PM »

Ennis smiles at his daughter and says: Well, you're nineteen....guess you can do whatever you want.

tpe · « **Reply #11262 on:** Jul 10, 2009, 06:32 AM »

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...

jackster · « **Reply #11263 on:** Jul 10, 2009, 06:58 AM »

ENNIS: Yeah, well, Got nuthin', ya don't need nuthin'.

tpe · « **Reply #11264 on:** Jul 10, 2009, 08:57 AM »

Ennis seats himself across from Jr. After a slight pause:

Ennis: So what's the occasion?

hpv · « **Reply #11265 on:** Jul 10, 2009, 10:46 AM »

Alma Jr.:
Me and Kurt...we're getting married .

jesseanne21 · « **Reply #11266 on:** Jul 10, 2009, 12:20 PM »

Ennis looks a little startled. He leans forward and looks carefully at Junior: How long you known this Kurt fellow?

hpv · « **Reply #11267 on:** Jul 11, 2009, 12:47 PM »

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)

jackster · « **Reply #11268 on:** Jul 11, 2009, 10:19 PM »

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?

hpv · « **Reply #11269 on:** Jul 12, 2009, 04:34 AM »

Jr.smiles:Yeah,daddy...he loves me.

tpe · « **Reply #11270 on:** Jul 13, 2009, 07:10 AM »

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...

myprivatejack · « **Reply #11271 on:** Jul 13, 2009, 10:52 AM »

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.

jackster · « **Reply #11272 on:** Jul 13, 2009, 11:49 AM »

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............

tpe · « **Reply #11276 on:** Jul 15, 2009, 06:33 AM »

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...

)

myprivatejack · « **Reply #11278 on:** Jul 15, 2009, 09:32 AM »

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.

tpe · « **Reply #11279 on:** Jul 16, 2009, 06:53 AM »

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...
