Despite all the time Jack spent xhorting Ennis to commit to the "sweet life", Ennis' fears made it impossible for him to make a commitment.

Annie Proulx described Ennis's reaction to Jack's verbal assault on that last morning together:

" ... You're too much for me, Ennis, you son of a whoreson bitch. I wish I knew how to quit you."

Like vast clouds of steam from thermal springs in winter the years of things unsaid and now unsayable -- admissions, declarations, shames, guilts, fears -- rose around them. Ennis stood as if heart-shot, face grey and deep-lined, grimacing, eyes screwed shut, fists clenched, legs caving, hit the ground on his knees.

Jack's bitchy reply to Ennis's question of whether he'd been to Mexico revealed that he was finally past sparing Ennis's feelings by keeping his unhappiness to himself.

Ennis offers Jack a compromise:

"Two guys livin' together? No way. Now, we can get together once in a while way the hell out in the middle of nowhere...."

Story Jack finally expressed his frustrations about the years upon years that he denied himself to please Ennis:

"Try this one," said Jack, "and I'll say it just one time. Tell you what, we could a had a good life together, a fuckin real good life. You wouldn't do it, Ennis, so what we got now is Brokeback Mountain. Everthing built on that. It's all we got, boy, fuckin all, so I hope you know that if you don't never know the rest. Count the damn few times we been together in twenty years. Measure the fuckin short leash you keep me on, then ask me about Mexico and then tell me you'll kill me for needin it and not hardly never gettin it. You got no fuckin idea how bad it gets. I'm not you. I can't make it on a couple a high-altitude fucks once or twice a year. You're too much for me, Ennis, you son of a whoreson bitch. I wish I knew how to quit you."
