Ennis puts out a half smoked cigarette and puts it in his pocket. The train that has just passed sounds it horn, and then we hear a truck backfiring, gears grinding, as it comes towards Aguirre's trailer. Driving the truck is Jack...he pulls up near the trailer and puts on the handbrake. The rear wheels turn once more. Jack gets out of the truck, kicks the rear tire, says "sh*t".

(scene with no dialogue)

Jack looks at the truck disgustedly.

Then turns, spies Ennis standing by the door, takes a few steps towards him, watches him for a few seconds.

Ennis shuffles, looks down, not acknowledging Jack presence.

Jack looks away to the distance, walks back to his truck.

Leans provocatively against the truck still watching Ennis.

Jack bows his head...

(Break in the scene)

We see Jack shaving with the aid of the rear-view mirror... He hears the sound of a truck approaching...

An 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.

jackster · « **Reply #10864 on:** Feb 09, 2009, 01:20 PM »

The boys enter Aguirre's trailer office.

Jack stands erect, feet apart, chest up, hands in his jeans pockets.

Ennis leans casually against the wall, (in a classic Contrapposto stance) hat in hand.

AGUIRRE begins:

Up on Brokeback the Forest Service' got designated campsites on the allotments . . . .

jesseanne21 · « **Reply #10865 on:** Feb 09, 2009, 04:53 PM »

Aguirre continues: Them camps can be three, four miles from where we pasture the woolies. Bad predator loss if there's nobody looking after them at night. Aguirre pauses and looks at Jack and Ennis. Now what I want, looking at Ennis, is the CAMP TENDER in the main camp where the Forest Services says, but the HERDER, Aguirre nods his head at Jack, he's gonna pitch a pup tent on the Q.T. with the sheep, and he's gonna SLEEP there. You eat your supper and breakfast in camp, but you SLEEP with the sheep. One hundred per cent! NO FIRE. DON'T LEAVE NO SIGN. You roll up that tent every morning in case Forest Service comes snooping around.

Aguirre is interruped by the ringing of the phone...

Aguirre: Yeah? No. No! Not on your f*ckin' life!

He bangs the phone down..

All this time, Ennis and Jack look at the other while the other is not looking...

jackster · « **Reply #10867 on:** Feb 10, 2009, 09:38 AM »

Aguirre starts in again at the boys, pointing at and looking Jack in the eye:

You got your dogs, your 30/30, you sleep there,

Last summer I had goddamn near 25% loss, I don't want that again. . .

hpv · « **Reply #10868 on:** Feb 10, 2009, 01:09 PM »

Aguirre:
You (points at Ennis).. Fridays at noon be down at the bridge with your grocery list and mules, somebody with supplies will be there at the pickup. (throws a hand watch towards Ennis)
Tomorrow mornin' we'll truck you up to the jump off.

Aguirre sits at the table lights a cigarette picks up the phone... pauses... looks angrily at Ennis and Jack.

(can I say it here??...fu*ck Aguirre....

)

jackster · « **Reply #10869 on:** Feb 10, 2009, 01:33 PM »

Jack and Ennis leave the trailer, pause on the stairs.

Jack immediately lights up a cigarette, Ennis plays with the watch.

Jack turns, looks at Ennis, extends his hand:

JACK: Jack Twist

hpv · « **Reply #10870 on:** Feb 10, 2009, 01:42 PM »

Ennis shakes Jack's hand, and replies : Ennis.

BTW: I like the sign on the door of Aquirre's trailer 'Trespassers will be shot, survivors will be shot again'

....

Jack: Your folks stop at Ennis?

jackster · « **Reply #10872 on:** Feb 10, 2009, 04:29 PM »

Ennis continues to fumble with the watch, not looking at Jack . . .

"Del Mar"

jesseanne21 · « **Reply #10873 on:** Feb 10, 2009, 05:40 PM »

Ennis is standing on the ground looking at the watch in his hand. Jack is standing on the steps next to him, so he has to look down to see Ennis' face. Jack leans down a little and makes an effort to catch Ennis' eye.

Jack: Nice to meet you, Ennis del Mar.

hpv · « **Reply #10874 on:** Feb 11, 2009, 01:43 AM »

New scene, in the bar.

JACK (taking a swig from his beer): My second year up here. Last year a lightnin' storm killed 42 sheep - thought I'd asphyxiate from the smell. 'Course Aguirre got all over my back like I'm supposed to control the weather. Still, beats workin' for my old man - can't please my old man, no way. Why I took to rodeoin'. You ever rodeo?

min · « **Reply #10875 on:** Feb 11, 2009, 02:01 AM »

Ennis: you know, uh...once in a while, when I got the entry fee in my pocket.

hpv · « **Reply #10876 on:** Feb 11, 2009, 06:30 AM »

JACK (nods): You from ranch people?

tpe · « **Reply #10877 on:** Feb 11, 2009, 08:48 AM »

Ennis: Yeah. I was.

jesseanne21 · « **Reply #10878 on:** Feb 11, 2009, 03:17 PM »

Jack glances sideways at Ennis, taking in his worn clothing and spare clothes in a paper sack and says slowly: Your folks run you off?

min · « **Reply #10879 on:** Feb 12, 2009, 04:02 AM »

Ennis replies: No, they run themselves off...there was only one curve on the road in 43 miles, and they miss it. The bank took the ranch, and my brother and sister, they raised me mostly.

jackster · « **Reply #10880 on:** Feb 12, 2009, 07:23 AM »

Jack looks slightly stunned, sorry he asked:

JACK: Shit. . . . That's hard.

Ennis tries to break the mood, reaches for the unsmoked half a cig in his pocket and gestures to Jack for his lighter.

ENNIS: Can I? . . . . thank you

tpe · « **Reply #10881 on:** Feb 12, 2009, 08:12 AM »

New Scene. At the Jump Off. The Chilean responsible for supplies talks with Ennis:

Chilean: One thing: don't ever order soup. Them soup boxes are hard to pack.

jesseanne21 · « **Reply #10882 on:** Feb 12, 2009, 02:31 PM »

Ennis is checking his new horse's saddle. He has his back to the Chilean as he replies quickly: Don't eat soup.

hpv · « **Reply #10883 on:** Feb 12, 2009, 05:11 PM »

ENNIS: (watching Jack trying to control his horse)

You wanta' watch it there, that horse has a low startle point.

min · « **Reply #10884 on:** Feb 12, 2009, 06:44 PM »

Jack (as he gets his horse under control): I doubt there's a filly that could throw me. Let's git unless you wanna stand around tyin' knots all day.

jackster · « **Reply #10885 on:** Feb 13, 2009, 08:32 AM »

short scene with no dialogue

Ennis gives Jack the eye . . .

While thinkin' . . . . .!!#?%!

Camp scene up on BBM. Ennis is cooking as Jack arrives.

Jack: Oh sh*t! Can't wait till I got my own spread and won't have to put up with Joe Aguirre's crap no more.

jesseanne21 · « **Reply #10887 on:** Feb 13, 2009, 01:30 PM »

Ennis: I'm saving for a place myself. Me and Alma, we'll be getting married when I come down off this mountain.

min · « **Reply #10888 on:** Feb 15, 2009, 02:01 AM »

Jack (shaking his head): That stay with the sheep no fire bullsh*t...Aguirre's got no right makin' us do somethin' against the rules.

jackster · « **Reply #10889 on:** Feb 17, 2009, 08:16 AM »

(another important scene with no dialogue)

Meanwhile Ennis, who's been cleaning up the dishes, watches the whole thing.
Jack give's an embarrassed glance at Ennis.

Ennis watches Jack ride off . . . .
