Ennis reminds Jack of one of their quests:

"  ...  Come on Jack, lighten up on me.  We can hunt in November.  Kill us a nice elk.
I'll try if I can get Don Wroe's cabin again.  We had a good time that year, didn't we?"

"U" is U.S.

"Brokeback Mountain  is a love story.  The themes of love, loss, fidelity, and trust run rampant through the script.  Marketing will be tough in the current socially conservative climate in the U.S.  Do yourself a favor:  don’t pre-judge this film.  Go see it, feel it, relate it to your own experience in life as best you can.  To deny yourself the beauty of this story because it involves two men in love is to do yourself a huge disservice.  Love and courage are universal -- they are not dependent on sexual orientation.

Old Man Twist virulently told Ennis Del Mar:  "Tell you what... We got a family plot.  He's goin' in it."

Up on Brokeback, Jack watched the sheep at first while Ennis tended camp; then they switched roles.
