Jack Twist.
Ennis Del Mar Ennis.
Your parents just stopped at Ennis?
Ennis Del Mar Del Mar.
Nice to know you, Ennis Del Mar.
Ennis Del Mar You know I ain't ****.
Me neither.
Ennis Del Mar Well, I guess I'll see you around, huh?.
...Right.
Ennis Del Mar You got your wife and your baby in Texas and, you know, I got my life in Riverton.
Is it so? You and Alma, that's a life.
Ennis Del Mar 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.
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 what?
Ennis Del Mar For you forgettin' to bring that harmonica. I'm enjoying the peace and quiet.
You know it could be like this, just like this, always.
Ennis Del Mar Ya, how you figure that?
Once in a while. Every four ****in' years?
Ennis Del Mar If you can't fix it, Jack, you gotta stand it. [ IMDb]
For how long?
Ennis Del Mar For as long as we can ride it. There ain't no reins on this one.
Ennis Del Mar 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.
You seen this?
Ennis Del Mar 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.
That's more words than you've spoke in the past two weeks.
Ennis Del Mar Hell, that's the most I've spoke in a year.
Ennis Del Mar 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'.
Yeah well try this one, and I'll say it just once!
Ennis Del Mar Go ahead!
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.
Ennis Del Mar 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.
Ennis...
Ennis Del Mar Get the **** off me!
Sorry... it's all right. Damn you, Ennis!
Ennis Del Mar I can't stand it anymore, Jack!
Ennis Del Mar If you don't want no more of my kids, I can leave you alone.
Alma Beers Del Mar
I'd have 'em if you'd support 'em.
Alma Beers Del Mar
You still go fishing with Jack Twist?
Ennis Del Mar Not often.
Alma Beers Del Mar
You know, I used to wonder how come you never brought any trouts home. You always said you caught plenty, and you know how me and the girls like fish. So one night I got your creel case(ph) open the night before you went on one of your little trips — price tag's still on it after five years— and I tied a note to the end of the line. It said, 'Hello, Ennis, Bring some fish home. Love. Alma.' And then you come back looking all perky and said you caught a bunch of browners and you ate them up. Do you remember? I looked in that case first chance I got, and there was my note still tied there. That rod hadn't touched water in its life.
Ennis Del Mar Don't mean nothing, Alma.
Lureen Twist I thought Brokeback Mountain might be around where he grew up. Knowing Jack, it might be some pretend-place: where bluebirds sing and there's a whiskey spring. [ BM-DVD]
Ennis Del Mar No ma'am we, we was herding sheep on Brokeback one summer, back in '63.
Lureen Twist Well, he said it was his favorite place. I thought he meant "to get drunk." He drank a lot.
