"The shirt seemed heavy until he saw there was another shirt inside it, the sleeves carefully worked down inside Jack’s sleeves. It was his own plaid shirt, lost, he’d thought, long ago in some damn laundry, his dirty shirt, the pocket ripped, buttons missing, stolen by Jack and hidden here inside Jack’s own shirt, the pair like two skins, one inside the other, two in one. He pressed his face into the fabric and breathed in slowly through his mouth and nose, hoping for the faintest smoke and mountain sage and salty sweet stink of Jack, but there was no real scent, only the memory of it, the imagined power of Brokeback Mountain of which nothing was left but what he held in his hands."

"The movie says this directly, without words; shows them strikingly unalike, right off.  Ennis has hitched a ride through the night in a big truck; he hops off; walks into Signal; shrinks, hands in his coat pockets; hides under his hat from the daylight, from other eyes, as he waits by Aguirre's office trailer steps.  A train passes -- through gaps between cars we glimpse him smoke a cigarette.  The train recedes into the distance -- Jack barrels along the road towards us in his beaten up pickup.  It turns, skids to a halt with a couple of jolts, coughs, splutters, spurts of smoke.  Jack gets out, leans against it, hands on hips, open: the opposite of Ennis." -- -- Andrew Hudson, White Crane Journal

Jack and Ennis were oblivious, but the horse knew that Aguirre was there watching during the "happy tussle" and gave a whinny.

"A young cowboy (Jake Gyllenhaal) and sheepherder (Heath Ledger) fall in love out West, only to face the complications that their passion will inevitably bring in the face of the 1960s.  With Jen from 'Dawson's Creek' (Michelle Williams) and Princess Anne Hathaway as their xpectedly frustrated wives, and directed by the celebrated Ang Lee (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon)...."

Ennis almost yucks his guts out and thinks the problem came from the food in Dubois.
