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?

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!

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.

-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.

   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.

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:  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.

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.

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...
