Yeah...

Thank you...thank you.

- Thanks again.

- Night.

Here you go, sir. I'll

get supper going.

Dessert.

I can help with supper.

Something I need to say.

Look Jake, I know I can

never be the man you are.

I'll never be as smart or

the same level as you.

I don't have good taste

in fancy clothes or furniture.

I'm just a poor country

man who can't offer much.

I can cook, fix cars and

ride a horse.

But that's not really

the person you need.

And I know you're gonna

be leaving soon.

And I'm gonna miss you.

Don't know if we'll ever

see each other again.

Maybe if you come visit

now and then.

But I know how I feel now.

I know how I always did

feel.

I was always thinking

about you over the years.

Wondering what would've

happened all those years ago.

I just hurt so bad when

you left that day.

So if you ever did

decide to move back here...

I'd try to be the best

person I could be.

But I know that ain't

much.

Well, I guess that's all

I had to say.

I've thought about this

every second.

You know. How I've felt

since I've been back here.

All those years...

Wondering.

Going through my life

every day, and you...

Never knowing how much

it hurt to leave you.

You are perfect. Just

the way you are.

And don't ever let

anyone tell you you're not.

I'm no better than you.

We've just lived

different lives.

I'm still that same

little kid...

you used to go swimming

with...

That you used to go

riding with.

But...

If I could live here...

I would.

So, that's exactly what I'm

gonna do.

Move back here. And live with you.

Where I belong.

You'd do all that just

for me?

What can I say. You can

cook.

What about your job?

It's the modern age, you

know.

I can make movies

anywhere, even here.

That's what planes are

for.

So it can really work?

My friends will all think

I'm crazy.

But it'll work.

(crying)

I love you, Jake.

Hey Kyle, you up yet?

You gonna seep all day?

Man, you should have seen this

girl last night.

She comes right up to me

and grabs my ass...

I don't remember much

after that. (chuckles)

How come you're not up?

You sick or something?

Let's go.

Holy f***!

Heath!

Oh my God! You're a big

f***ing homo!

Let me explain!

I don't need you to explain.

Just stay away from me!

Can't we just talk!

Heath! Wait up, man!

Heath! Wait up, man!

I don't need you to

explain to me.

I might just be a dumb

country boy.

But I know a fag when I

see one.

I know what this is about!

That f***ing man came here

from the city!

It's not like that!

Just the way things always

were with me.

No Goddamn way!

You and me were best

friends.

Everything was fine 'til

he showed up.

So don't tell me you was

always like this.

Wait!

- Get your f***ing hands off me!

You some kind of, what!

What are you, huh?

Is every cowboy now one

of them broken back cowboys!

Jesus Christ Kyle, what's

gonna happen to you now?

You're the only family I

got!

We're still cousins, Heath.

We're still best buds.

I guess it'll take a while

'till we can work things out.

Guess you feel better, now.

Yeah, a little.

This ain't the way it's

supposed to be.

There ain't no easy thing

about this.

You don't know what it was

like for me all those years.

Keeping it a secret.

Afraid what people might

think.

I still got some good life

ahead of me!

And I ain't gonna waste it

anymore.

You don't understand. I was

never really happy.

I had no life!

Well, what's gonna happen now?

I'm still me!

I'm still gonna live my life

like I always have.

Maybe this time, I can live

a little better off.

Oh, I don't know, man...

It's gonna take a while to

get used to it.

I don't get it. You're a

regular tough cowboy.

You could have any girl in

town.

They're always asking about

you!

I guess you are kind of

sensitive.

Don't you make me f***ing

laugh!

I got a gun in there. I'll

kill you dead right now!

Whatever you say.

I gotta get home.

Me and Jack Daniels needs

some alone time.

You ever wonder what it's

all about?

The world. The universe.

Why we're here?

Yeah. Every day of my life.

Wondering, are we in the

middle of space?

Just to be alone?

Yeah. Are we alone? Where

do we go from here?

The big question.

Ever hear from your dad?

My dad?

I was hoping to forget about

that part of my life.

But...yeah.

He showed up at mom's funeral.

All those years later.

But he was never there for me

as a kid.

And after the way he treated

me and my mom...

I couldn't see any reason to

start being buddies now.

So you'll be leaving tomorrow

huh?

Yep. Get'n on the road early.

To get things started as soon

as I get back.

A lot of people are gonna be

shocked.

They won't understand how I

can leave it all behind.

But you know what? It's okay.

They don't have to understand.

We all have our way of

thinking about life.

It's up to each person, to

find what makes them content.

You know...

What they can get out of life.

We're stuck with the life we

have.

I guess it's up to us to

make the best of it.

And by my calculations...

I've got probably another 38 years...

Before I move on to the great

beyond.

You're keeping a calendar of

it, huh?

Oh, I just figure if I'm gonna

make the most of my life...

I'd better make it all count...

from now on.

That's a good way of thinking

about it.

(Jake sighs)

(Kyle sighs)
