Ennis: he burried down there? :\'(

jackster · « **Reply #9841 on:** Apr 29, 2007, 08:47 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 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.

chameau · « **Reply #9844 on:** Apr 29, 2007, 08:53 PM »

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?

chameau · « **Reply #9846 on:** Apr 29, 2007, 08:58 PM »

Lureen: They'll be there till the day they die.

jackster · « **Reply #9847 on:** Apr 29, 2007, 09:02 PM »

I thank you for your time . . . . .

I sure am sorry . . .

we was good friends.

chameau · « **Reply #9848 on:** Apr 29, 2007, 09:04 PM »

Lureen: Get in touch with his folks. I suppose they'd appreciate it if his wishes was carried out. About the ashes I mean.

jackster · « **Reply #9849 on:** Apr 29, 2007, 09:06 PM »

Ennis hangs up.

He looks like death.

chameau · « **Reply #9850 on:** Apr 29, 2007, 09:20 PM »

(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?

jackster · « **Reply #9851 on:** Apr 29, 2007, 09:36 PM »

Ennis

Thank you ma'am. I'll take a cup a coffee, but I can't eat no cake just now.

chameau · « **Reply #9852 on:** Apr 29, 2007, 09:39 PM »

Ennis: I feel awfull bad about Jack... can't begin to telll you how bad I feel. I knew him a long time.

jackster · « **Reply #9853 on:** Apr 30, 2007, 07:53 AM »

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.

FlwrChild · « **Reply #9854 on:** Apr 30, 2007, 08:47 AM »

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.

Hanna · « **Reply #9856 on:** Apr 30, 2007, 10:37 AM »

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.

keren_b · « **Reply #9857 on:** Apr 30, 2007, 10:48 AM »

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.

Hanna · « **Reply #9858 on:** Apr 30, 2007, 10:58 AM »

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.

chameau · « **Reply #9860 on:** Apr 30, 2007, 10:54 PM »

a well-used desk and a wooden chair stand against the other wall. A small .22 hangs in a rack over the bed.

jackster · « **Reply #9861 on:** May 01, 2007, 12:39 PM »

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.

keren_b · « **Reply #9862 on:** May 01, 2007, 12:56 PM »

Ennis sees the closet. gets up, walks over to it.

hpv · « **Reply #9863 on:** May 01, 2007, 01:28 PM »

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."

keren_b · « **Reply #9864 on:** May 01, 2007, 01:59 PM »

I need a moment to recover. it seems wrong to just go on after that... :\'(

jackster · « **Reply #9865 on:** May 01, 2007, 05:15 PM »

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.

jackster · « **Reply #9868 on:** May 02, 2007, 11:16 AM »

Ennis:

Yes sir.

keren_b · « **Reply #9869 on:** May 02, 2007, 11:51 AM »

Jack's mum: you come back and us again.
