Ennis noticed the loss/theft of his shirt when he checked his cotton bag just before Jack drove off.   The cotton bag had previously contained Crystal granulated sugar.

A study of the milling sheep evokes a negative reaction from Joe Aguirre:  "Some of these never went up there with you.  The count ain't what I'd hoped for, neither.  You ranch stiffs, you ain't never no good...."  [subtitles]

                ENNIS
        Hey now, this ain't no rodeo.

JACK retrieves his lariat, but throws another loop--this time, he gets ENNIS by the foot, pulls ENNIS'S foot out from under him. He falls.

JACK laughs.

ENNIS grabs the rope and yanks hard -- JACK is pulled towards ENNIS and falls, and they start to wrestle. ENNIS is only half-playing--tense.     [screenplay]

Ennis realized the gravity of his coming down from Brokeback after his downfall.

"I" is inexplicable
« Reply #11027 on: February 11, 2007, 11:57:11 am »
"Well, I guess I'll see you around, huh?" are Ennis's parting words to Jack because he still cannot verbalize his inexplicable feelings for Jack.

"J" is jussive

Jack used his lariat in a jussive manner to get Ennis moving, so that Jack could move the 'cowboy' down the mountain.

Jack lassoed the sulking Ennis, but he didn't have the situation all tied up.
