Brokeback Mountain Page #3

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.

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?
