"No one...No one !"

"I know sometimes you felt so lonely..."

"I know you felt so sad and blue..."

Wait, hold on !

You don't think I'm too fast, do you?

Maybe we should put the 'brakes' on?

Fast or slow, I just like

the direction you're goin' !

You ARE in a hurry !

My daddy's in a hurry, I'm supposed

to be at home with the car by midnight.

-Hi Monroe. -Hi En.

-Uh, is Alma here?

- Uh yes, she's in the condiments aisle.

- The what?

Uh, ketchup.

Thanks !

Yeah, 'scuse me.

Hi honey ! What y'all doin' here?

Uh. .Big hurry.

My boss called and uh. . .

well, he wants me

to go out to the ranch.

I guess all the heifers must have

decided to calve at the same time.

I figured I could drop

the girls off with you. . .

Ennis, well, I got a million

things I got a do here before

I can leave. I don't get

off for another 3 hours.

- Mama, I need crayons. . .

- Not now, Alma.

Ennis, please, you promised

you'd take them tonight !

Honey, I can't afford not to

be there when the heifers calve.

- I rather be at my job, if I lose my job.

- What about my job?

Ok. All right. I'll call my sister.

I'll see if she can take 'em.

All right. All right.

You be a good girl for your mama, all right?

Uh. . .

I'll be half the night, will bring home

some round steak if I can think of it.

It's okay, come here. . .

Oh, oh, Jenny ! !

Oh boy, okay. . .

- Monroe, I'm so sorry !

- Well, it's ok, it's ok, Alma.

I'll clean this up just as soon as I

call my sister to come get the girls.

Really, Alma, it's ok.

I'll get it.

- Alma, come with me.

- Watch your feet.

Alma !

- Oh, it's just like my hand !

- Honey, I got a surprise for you !

Hi !

Got 2 whole boxes of farm milk for you.

- 120 kilos.

- A 120?

Dear, where did you put 'em?

Oh hell. . .back seat of

the car, where I left them.

'Rodeo' can get 'em !

See? I can already see

what little Bobby looks like.

Good job li'l girl, he's a

spittin' image of his grandpa !

Isn't he just a spittin'

image of his grandpa?

Yeah !

Look at those eyes !

Hi.

Hi honey.

Hey, Ennis, do you know

somebody name a Jack?

Maybe, but why?

You got a postcard.

It come 'General Delivery'.

[Friend, this letter is long over

due. Coming through on the 24th.]

[Drop me a line say if your there.

-Jack.]

Is he someone you cowboy'ed with, or what?

No, Jack he rodeos mostly. . .

We was fishing buddies.

[You bet.]

[To :
Jack Twist]

Maybe we could get a babysitter?

- Hmm? - Take your friend

to the 'Knife and Fork'?

No, Jack ain't the restaurant type.

We'll more likely just

go out and get drunk. . .

See if he shows. . .

Ok, will you take one more bite,

and then you're finished with dinner?

There, that's a good bite.

All right, you're excused !

Please?

Jack F***in' Twist !

Sonofabitch !

Come over here.

Hey. . .

Come here. . .

Alma, this is uh,

Jack Twist.

And Jack, this is my wife, Alma.

- Howdy !

- Hello.

- Oh, you got a kid?

- Yeah, I got two little girls.

- Alma Jr. and Jenny.

- I got a boy.

Yeah?

- 8 months old.

- Well. . .

Smiles alot.

I married the prettiest li'l

gal in Childress, Texas. . .Lureen.

Me and Jack, we're goin' a head

out and get ourselves a drink. Yeah. . .

- Sure enough.

- Pleased to meet you, ma'am.

We might not get back tonight, when we

get up to drinkin' and talkin' and all. . .

Ennis?

Would you get me a pack of smokes?

If you need smokes Alma

they're in the top pocket of

the blue shirt there in the bedroom. . .

- FOUR YEARS, damn !

- Yeah, four years. . .

- Didn't think I'd hear from you again. . .

- Nah. . .

I figured you were sore from that punch. . .

Well, I made sure I drove

back up to Brokeback,

talked to Aguirre 'bout a job, and

he told me you hadn't been back, so I left.

Went down to Texas for Rodeoin'.

's How I met Lureen. . .

Made two thousand dollars that

year, before I'd nearly starved.

Lureen's ol' man makes serious money.

Farm machine business.

'Course, he hates my guts. . .

so. . .

- The army didn't get you?

- No, too busted up.

-That rodeo ain't what it was

in my daddy's day's. . . - No.

- I got out while I could still walk !

- Hmm.

I swear to God, I didn't know we

was goin' a get into this again. . .

Aw, yes I did ! I red-lined it all

the way, I couldn't get here fast enough !

What about you?

Me?

Uh, I dunno. . .

Brokeback got us good, don't it?

Ohhh. . . !

What're we goin' a do now?

Well, I doubt there's nothin' we can do. . .

So, I'm stuck with what I got here. . .

And makin' a livin' is about

all I got time for now. . .

Hey !

Well, me and Jack's headin' up

the mountain for a day or two. . .

Do ourselves a little fishin'. . .

You know, your friend could come

inside and have a cup of coffee?

Uh, he's from Texas.

Texans don't drink coffee?

You sure that foreman

won't fire you for takin' off?

Y'know that foreman. . .he owes

me, I worked through a blizzard

last Christmas, you remember that?

Besides, I'll only be a couple of days. . .

Bring fish daddy, bring big ones !

Come here.

See you Sunday, at the latest.

I'm starvin', wanna

get somethin' to eat?

Yep !

Last one in !

There anything interestin'

up there in Heaven?

I was just signin' up

for a 'Prayer of Thanks'.

For what?

For you forgettin' to

bring that harmonica !

I'm enjoyin' my peace and quiet.

You know, it could be like

this. . .just like this. . .always. . .

Yeah? How you figure that?

What if you and me had a little

ranch somewhere? A little. . .

. . .'Cow-and-Calf' operation. . .

It'd be a sweet life. . .

And hell, Lureen's ol' man, you bet he'd

give me down payment to get lost. . .

I mean, he more or less already said it !

You know I. . .

. . .I told you.

It ain't goin' a be that way. . .

You know you. . .

You got your wife and baby in Texas,

and. . .

You know, I got my life in Riverton.
