Next scene.It's already by night and the red lights of the Motel Siesta bright.Jack gets his face close to Ennis,smelling his hair:They're in bed,after having made love.

-Jack:-Four years, damn!

Ennis : Yeah, four years. Didn't think I'd hear from you again. I figured you were sore from that punch.

Ennis’s eyes gone bright with shock, mouth opening then closing again. “Love?” Ennis said finally, voice strangling in his throat.

Jack smiled sad. “Yeah, Ennis. Love.” Leaned forward and kissed Ennis’s temple, whispered, “What’d you think it was, all this time?”

Jack:  That next summer.. I drove back up to Brokeback... talked to Aguirre about a job and he told me you hadn't been back there -- so I left!  Went down to Texas for rodeoin'... that's how I met Lureen!  Made 2000 dollars that year bullridin' -- nearly starved!  Lureen's old man... makes serious money -- farm machine business... course he hates my guts! ...

Jack smokes his cigarette and nodds with a sad expression on his face.

-Ennis : -And Army didn't get you?

-Jack : -No, too busted up. And rodeoin' ain't what it was in my daddy's day. Got out while I could still walk.

Jack pauses, and looks thoughtful.  He moves his lips close to Ennis ear and says:  Swear to God I didn't know we was going to get into this again.

Jack pauses again, then gives a little grin and says:  Yes, I did.  Red-lined it here all the way....couldn't get here fast enough.  How about you?

Jack's question hits Ennis hard.  Ennis looks bleak:  Doubt there's anything we can do.  I'm stuck with what I got here.  Making a living's about all I got time for now.

New scene.  At Ennis's apartment.  Alma has clearly not slept all night.  She is at the kitchen table.  A few tears roll doen her cheeks.  She hears a truck drive up and tries to make herself look reasonably composed...

Ennis comes in, clearly in a hurry...

Ennis (looks at Alma): Hey.... 

Ennis moves past Alma and continues talking...

Ennis: Me and Jack's headin' up in the mountains for a day or two...  Do ourselves a little fishin'!

Alma, still in her nightgown goes over to the window, looks out, sees Jack, casually leaning against the truck, smokin' a cigarette like he's feelin' pretty good. Alma's who's apparently been up most of the night, looks frazzled. She seemingly wants to get a better look at and to scope out this Jack fellow . . .

ALMA: Ya' know your friend could come inside and have a cup a coffee.

          Ennis is trying as quickly as possible to pull together some camping gear and get out,
          wants little interaction with Alma right now.

ENNIS: Aw, he's from Texas.

ALMA: Texans don't drink coffee? (Ennis continues to pack up, grabs his fishin' gear)
           You sure that foreman won't fire you for takin' off?

ENNIS: Ya' know that foreman, - he owes me. I, I worked through a blizzard last Christmas, ya' remember that?
           'Sides, I'll only be a couple days.

Alma Jr.enters running in the room.

-Junior : Bring fish, daddy. A big, big one!

-Alma : ( to Junior ) Come here. (she takes the baby in her arms9.
-
Ennis : ( to Alma ) -Come here. See you Sunday, latest. (He kisses the baby and Alma on their cheeks,letting his wife embracing her daughter and crying).

Meanwhile,Ennis arrives to Jack's truck,all perky and only thinking in the couple of days he's going to spent with his lover.

-Jack:- I'm starvin'. Want to get somethin' to eat?

-Ennis : -Yup.

The boys head to the mountains in Jack's pickup as Alma peers from the apartment window, holding Jr., crying and waving goodbye.
The truck pulls up to beautiful mountain ledge, comes to a halt. We hear Ennis yell as he jumps out of the cab strippin' off his clothes:

Last one in . . .

The boys jump, naked and free, into the water below, come up whoopin' and hollerin'.

New scene later that evening, by the campfire, Ennis lies back studying the heavens with a look of sublime contentment.

There was some open space between what he knew and what he tried to believe, but nothing could be done about it, and if you can't fix it you've got to stand it.

Ennis, riding against the wind back to the sheep in the treacherous, drunken darken light, thought he'd never had such a good time, felt he could paw the white out of the moon.

Jack (trying to hide very deep feelings about the subject but not completely succeeding):  ... What if you and me had a little ranch somewhere... a little cow-and-calf operation... (his voice almost breaking) it'd be a sweet life.  I mean -- hell -- Lureen's old man?... you bet he'd give me down payment if I'd get lost...  I mean... he more or less already said it.

Ennis not smiling anymore... looks at Jack, and says with sadness:
 No I, . . I told you, . . it ain't gonna' be that way.

sits close to Jack, but doesn't look him in the eye, continues . . .
Ya' know you, . . you got your wife n' baby in Texas, n, . . you know I got my life in Riverton.

-Ennis( a bit angry):-Now you shut up about Alma. This ain't her fault.(Jack looks surprised for his lover's reaction,even sad). The bottom line is, we're around each other, and this thing grabs hold of us again in the wrong place, in the wrong time and we're dead.

A flashback scene.  The Earl and Rich story is narrated.  A young Ennis walks with his father and brother in a desolate place.  The father shows his 2 sons the body of the dead Earl.  The young Ennis's face reflects absolute horror and amazement.

The voice of Ennis: There were these two old guys... ranched up together down home... Earl and Rich.  They was the joke of th' town, even though they were pretty tough old birds!  Anyway... they found Earl... dead in an irrigation ditch... they took a tire iron to him... spurred him up and dragged him around by his d*ck till it pulled off...

Jack(a little angry) : -“Once in a while”... every four !@#$ years?

Ennis : -Well, if you can't fix it, Jack, you gotta stand it.

Jack :-For how long?

Ennis : -As long as we can ride it. There ain't no reins on this one.


Ennis is on the verge of crying.Jack realises the effort that the words he has just said means for him and caresses his face tenderly.

New scene.  Outside the riverton apartment.  The two girls are on the swing.  Alma and Ennis can be heard arguing.  Alma storms out, followed by an angry but ineffectual Ennis.

Ennis: It's nearly suppertime... where the hell do you think you're goin'?

Alma: To work!

-Alma :-Well, you thought wrong. (she keeps on walking fast while Ennis keeps on shouting).

-Ennis :-The girls need to be fed.

-Alma :-Well, you take care of it!

-Ennis : -Alma! Alma ¡

-Alma(without stopping,almost doubling the corner) : -Supper's on the stove.

The argument continues at full volume as Alma walks away to her grocery job (and Monroe)-

ENNIS: NO ONES EATIN' UNLESS YOU'RE SERVIN' IT!!

ALMA: I PROMISED TO TAKE THE EXTRA SHIFT.

ENNIS: F**KIN' TELL 'EM YOU MADE A MISTAKE THEN!!
            GODDAMN IT ALMA!  
              ALMA!

Ennis walks back to the apartment, stops briefly at his two girls on their swing:

           You girls need push or something?

Girls:  No o o o o , , , ,

Ennis kicks a bucket in his way and storms up the stairs into the apartment.

New Scene.  We see Jack demonstrating a new tractor to a group of potential customers and onlookers.

Jack: Listen to her purr, gentlemen!  You ain't gonna get that with your Caddy!  I told you what she could do... now let me show you...

Jack proceeds to drive the tractor.

New scene.  Alma enters the riverton apartment with a bag of groceries and the mail.  She spies a suspicious postcard and reads it.  It is from Jack, confirming their next "fishing" expedition.  Alma hears Ennis parking his truck and quickly tucks the postcard back into the folds of the mail ads.

New scene.  At the Newsome office.  Lureen is at the desk adding numbers in the adding machine.  Jack enters looking for something.

Jack: Honey... have you seen my blue parka?
