"What's the point of ridin' some piece of stock for eight seconds?" Ennis asks.

"Money's a good point," Jack replies, generating a laugh from Ennis.

31 EXT: BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN: DAY:
WE SEE JACK and ENNIS, the dogs, the sheep moving higher up the mountain to new pasture. Both horseback. JACK leading the pack mules, ENNIS and the blue heelers leading the sheep.

32 EXT: BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN: DUSK:
WE SEE them pitching a new camp, more primitive this time. No platform. JACK and ENNIS are friendlier, more familiar with each other, laugh and joke as they struggle with the tent.

[2003 screenplay]

Annie speaks of the sad impossibillity of their union, her writing impossibly sad.

Despite Jack's best efforts, Ennis could never overcome his limiting, conventional choices.

Jack's motives become more detectable as he senses acceptance by Ennis.

Jack's first postcard to Ennis was admittedly long overdue.

Jack returned to Signal in 1964, counting on the probability that Ennis Del Mar might be back in Aguirre's employ.

Jack returned to Signal in 1964, counting on the probability that Ennis Del Mar might be back in Aguirre's employ, and was roundly rejected.

"S" is seal

They set up camp without saying much, picketed the horses in the meadow.  Jack broke the seal on a bottle of whiskey, took a long, hot swallow, exhaled forcefully, said, "That's one a the two things I need right now," capped and tossed it to Ennis.  [story]
