Ennis.
Jack Twist Your parents just stopped at Ennis?
Del Mar.
Jack Twist Nice to know you, Ennis Del Mar.
You know I ain't ****.
Jack Twist Me neither.
Well, I guess I'll see you around, huh?.
Jack Twist ...Right.
You got your wife and your baby in Texas and, you know, I got my life in Riverton.
Jack Twist Is it so? You and Alma, that's a life.
Now you shut up about Alma. This ain't her fault. 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...we're dead.
Jack Twist Is there anything interesting up there in heaven? [ BM-DVD]
Ennis Del Mar (looking up at night sky): I was just sending up a prayer of thanks.

For you forgettin' to bring that harmonica. I'm enjoying the peace and quiet.
Jack Twist You know it could be like this, just like this, always.
Ya, how you figure that?

If you can't fix it, Jack, you gotta stand it. [ IMDb]
Jack Twist For how long?
For as long as we can ride it. There ain't no reins on this one.
I tell ya there... there were these two old guys ranched up together, down home. Earl and Rich. They were pretty tough ol' birds. Anyway they... they found Earl dead in an irrigation ditch. Took a tire iron to 'im. Spurred him up, drug him 'round by his dick 'till it pulled off.
Jack Twist You seen this?
I wasn't but nine years old. My daddy, he made sure me and brother seen it. Hell for all I know, he done the job.
Jack Twist That's more words than you've spoke in the past two weeks.
Hell, that's the most I've spoke in a year.
I'm gonna tell you this one time, Jack ****in' Twist, an' I ain't foolin'. What I don't know - all them things I don't know - could get you killed if I come to know them. I ain't jokin'.
Jack Twist Yeah well try this one, and I'll say it just once!
Go ahead!
Jack Twist Tell you what, we coulda had a good life together, ****in' real good life! Had us a place of our own. But you didn't want it, Ennis! So what we got now is Brokeback Mountain! Everything's built on that, that's all we got boy, ****in' all. So I hope you know that, if you don't never know the rest! You count the damn few times we have been together in nearly twenty years and you measure the short **** leash you keep me on, and then you ask me about Mexico and tell me you'll kill me for needing somethin' I don't hardly never get. You have no idea how bad it gets! I'm not you... I can't make it on a coupla high-altitude ****s once or twice a year! You are too much for me Ennis, you son of a whoreson bitch... I wish I knew how to quit you.
Well why don't you? Why don't you just let me be, huh? Because of you, Jack, that I'm like this. I'm nothing... and nowhere.
Jack Twist Ennis...
Get the **** off me!
Jack Twist Sorry... it's all right. Damn you, Ennis!
I can't stand it anymore, Jack!
