The boys sit side-by-side in front of the fire and silently enjoy a meal of "grilled" elk.
New Scene. Ennis, camp tender, is fixin' the meal as Jack slowly saunters in a horseback. Jack groans loudly like an old man as he dismounts, then begins his gripe . . .
JACK: Arghh, ugh. . . . yeah, I'm commutin' four hours a day. (Ennis pays little attention keeps busy with the meal) I come in for breakfast, I go back to the sheep. Evening get 'em bedded down, come in for supper, go back to the sheep. Spend half the night checkin' for damn coyotes'. (slams his rifle down next to Ennis to get his attention) Aguirre got no right ta' make me do this!
