Jack's 1967 visit to Riverton kick-started his relationship with Ennis.

[Toast]

In 1963, up on Brokeback, Ennis and Jack lived on top of the world, looking down on creation.

There are some sounds in TS1 that some people hear as a moan, and others hear as Jack saying, 'F* me, F* me."  I hear the words.

"Heath Ledger is extremely impressive as Ennis, who tries to bear his burden of denial with stoic fortitude but can’t help lashing out at those around him.  Ledger is transformed in the role, capturing not only Ennis’ broad accent and surly demeanour, but also the seething torment underneath.  Jake Gyllenhaal’s performance as Jack isn’t as showy, but it’s also note-perfect.  The bond between the two is convincing, and the highs and lows of the relationship are absorbing."

John Twist is an obstinant, opposing, ornery and oppugnant old man.

Interior: Twist Cadillac: highway:  Childress, Texas: night:
Cold night.  Panhandle wind blows. Jack and Lureen in their Cadillac, hurrying to a big country dance.  Lureen is very North Dallas now, fur coat, too much jewelry, too much makeup, too stiff a hairdo.  Jack wears a white Stetson. Both are smoking.    [2003 screenplay]

There was a kind of hush when Jack asked queryingly of Ennis if there were anything interesting up there in heaven.  Ennis could have responded:

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

But instead he missed that ticket to ride and made a lame joke about the harmonica.

[memento]

Jack was attracted to the razzle-dazzle of rodeo life.

You're really hammering home those Carpenters' lyrics. You certainly have them nailed down.

Cassie:  (still looking away from Ennis)  "You hardly ever take me any place nice."
(A beat.)
Ennis:  (shrugs) "Take you everywhere."
Cassie:  "Everywhere in Riverton. Why can't you take me to Casper? Could’ve seen [The Empire Strikes Back] indoors in Casper."
Ennis:   (somewhat incredulous) "Three hours a drivin' to see spaceships and robots?"
Cassie:  "So? You drive all over just to go huntin' and fishin' with your friends."

Ennis doesn't know what to say. Keeps driving.   [2003 screenplay]
