Brokeback Mountain Page #2

Synopsis: Two young men, Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist, meet when they get a job as sheep herders on Brokeback Mountain. They are at first strangers, then they become friends. Throughout the weeks, they grow closer as they learn more about each other. One night, after some heavy drinking, they find a deeper connection. They then indulge in a blissful romance for the rest of the summer. Unable to deal with their feelings for each other, they part ways at the end of the summer. Four years go by, and they each settle down, Ennis in Wyoming with his wife and two girls, and Jack in Texas with his wife and son. Still longing for each other, they meet back up, and are faced with the fact that they need each other. They undeniably need each other, and unsure of what to do, they start a series of "fishing trips", in order to spend time together. The relationship struggles on for years until tragedy strikes.

Thank you.

Sh*t !

Well, I'm goin' a go

up to the sheep now. . .

Give'em hell !

I reckon it's damn. . .

It's too late to go out a them sheep.

You got an extra blanket?

I'll just roll up out here. . .

grab 'forty-winks', and. . .

I'll ride out at first light. . .

You'll freeze your ass off

when that fire dies down.

- Oh, that's good.

- You're better off sleepin' in the tent !

All right.

Ennis !

- What?

- Just quit your hammerin' and get in here !

What ya doin' ?

F*** me !

F***. . .

Me !

See you for supper.

It's a one shot thing

we got goin' on here. . .

It's nobody's business but ours. . .

You know I ain't queer.

Me neither.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

It's all right. . .

Twist, your uncle Harold's

in the hospital with pneumonia.

Docs don't expect he'll make it.

Your ma sent me to tell you, so, here I am.

Bad news.

There ain't nothin' I can do

about it up here, I guess. . .

There's not much you can do

about it down there, neither.

Not unless you can cure pneumonia.

Jesus !

Them sheep'll drift if I don't

get back up there tonight !

You'll get pitched off your

mount in a storm like this !

I wish you hadn't tried !

- Keep calm !

- Hold it up !

I mean, what we supposed to do now, huh?

Get on in there, and. . .

untangle them Chilean

sheep out a ours, I guess. . .

Aguirre's !

Sh*t !

Christ, half the goddamn

paint brands are wore off !

We got a try, the least we can do

is get the count right for Aguirre !

- F*** Aguirre ! !

- Oh yeah, f*** Aguirre. . .

And what if we need a work for

him again, huh? Think of that?

We got a stick this out, Jack !

You'll run the sheep off again,

if you don't quiet down.

What you doin' ?

Aguirre came by again. . .

Says my uncle didn't die after all. . .

- Says bring 'em down.

- Bring 'em down? Why?

It's in the middle of August !

Says there's a storm comin',

movin' in from the Pacific.

Worse than this one.

Well, that snow barely stuck an hour, huh?

Besides, that son of a b*tch she's

cutting us out a whole month's pay.

That ain't right !

Well. . . I can spare you a loan bud,

if you're short on cash. . .

give it to you when we get to Signal. . .

- I don't need your money, huh?

Y'know, I ain't in the poorhouse !

Sh*t !

All right. . .

Time to get goin', cowboy.

Hey !

This ain't no rodeo, cowboy !

Ennis.

Ennis. . .Ennis. . .

Come here. . . You're okay.

You're okay. . .

Shhhh, shhhh. . . !

Some a these never went up there with you.

The count ain't what

I'd hoped for neither.

You ranch stiffs. . .

you ain't never no good.

You wanna give it some gas?

I can't believe I left my

damn shirt up there. . .

Yeah. . .

- You goin' a do this again next summer?

- Oh, maybe not.

Like I said, me and Alma is

gettin' married in November. . .

So, uh. . .

I'll try to get somethin'

on a ranch, I guess.

You?

I might go up to my daddy's place and. . .

give 'em a hand through the winter.

I might be back. . .

if the army don't get me.

Well, I guess I'll see you 'round, huh?

Right.

What the f*** are you lookin' at ?!

Huh ?!

And forgive us our

trespasses as we forgive those

who trespass against us.

Lead us not into temptation

but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the Kingdom,

the Power and the Glory.

Forever. Amen.

Under the powers vested in me,

I now pronounce you man and wife.

You may kiss the bride,

and if you don't, I will !

You all right?

Stop !

No, please don't !

My ol' lady's tryin' to

get me to quit this job,

she says I'm gettin' too old to be

breakin' my back shovelin' asphalt.

I told her strong backs and

weak minds runs in my family !

Didn't think that was too funny !

I told her, it keeps me fit.

Yeah ?

Now look what the wind blew in. . .

Howdy, Mr. Aguirre. Wonderin' if

you was needin' any help this summer?

You're wastin' your time here. . .

You ain't got nothin'?

Nothin' up on Brokeback?

I ain't got no work for YOU. . .

Now, Ennis Del Mar

ain't been around, has he?

You boy's sure found a way to

make the time pass up there. . .

Twist. . .

you guys wasn't gettin' paid to

leave the dogs baby-sit the sheep

while you 'stemmed the rose'. . .

Now get the hell out a my trailer !

How're you girls doin' ?

We're all right. . .

Jenny's still got a runny nose. . .

Ennis, could you wipe Alma Jr.'s nose?

If I had 3 hands, I could !

Come here, come here. . .

- Girls all right?

- Yeah. . .

Jenny's still got her

cough and her runny nose. . .

I'd like to take the girls into town next

weekend, and get 'em an ice cream. . .

or somethin'. . .

Can we move to town?

I'm tired of these lonesome ol' ranches.

No one for Alma Jr. to play with. . .

Besides, I'm scared for Jenny.

I'm scared she has

another one of them

bad asthma spells.

No, rent in town is too high. . .

There's a cheap place in

Riverton over the laundrymat,

and I bet I could fix it up real nice. . .

I bet you could fix this place

up real nice, if you wanted to. . .

- Ennis?

- Hmmm?

I know you'd like it too.

A real home. . .

A lot of kids

for our girls to play with. . .

And not so lonely like you were raised. . .

You don't want 'em to be

so lonely, do you?

Hey. . .

Come here.

It's not so lonely now, is it?

Hmm?

- Are you sure the girls are asleep?

- Yeah.

Come here.

Let'er rip 'n snort, boys !

Jack Twist, hangin' on for dear life !

Whoa ! Down he goes !

Watch out there, fella !

That's all for ya !

Send in the clowns !

- Ok ! - Sh*t!

- Fine ride by Mr. Twist. . .4 seconds !

Give 'em a hand, folks !

Our very own rodeo clowns !

Give us a beer, bud.

I'd like to buy Jimbo here a beer.

Best damn rodeo clown I ever worked with !

No thanks, cowboy. . .

If I was to let every rodeo

hand I pulled a bull off,

buy me liquor, I'd been an. . .

alcoholic long ago !

Pullin' bulls off you

buckeroos is just my job.

So save your money for

your next entry fee, cowboy.

You ever tried calf-ropin' ?

Do I look like I could afford

a f***in' ropin' horse?!

Shouldn't we move a little closer?

No, c'mon, don't start,

Jenny will get scared.

Whooeee !

Look a this crowd !

There goin' a be alot of p*ssy on

the hump in a crowd like this !

All swelled up with patriotic feeling,

and ready to be humpin' like a frog !

So where do you figure the most

p*ssy's at, Las v egas or California?

Sweetheart. . .

You make me choose between Montana

or Wyoming, I'd take Wyoming. . .

Hey ! You might wanna keep it down.

I got two little girls here.

F*** YOU !

A**hole. He's probably just givin'

it to his wife after he gets. . .

Ennis, just leave 'em alone.

Let's just move, ok? Ennis !

Now, I don't want any

troubles from you,

you need to shut your

slop-bucket mouths, you hear me?

- You ought a listen to your ol' lady, then.

- Is that right?

and move somewheres else.

What about it? You wanna lose

about half your f***in' teeth, huh?!

Not tonight, bud.

I'd sure rather not. . .

It's okay, it's okay. . .

Here she comes, ladies and

gentlemen, oh boy, look at her fly !
