"Jack heard his spurs tremble as he mounted, the words 'See you tomorrow,' and the horse's shuddering snort, grind of hoof on stone.
For some reason, I thought the last words were "See you in the morning." Was that the way it was in the movie?
I love the references to metal (spurs), air (horse's snorting), bone (hoof) and earth (stone) in this short passage. The presence of water is noticably absent.

I think it was in the movie because the last we see of the two of them together is the Dozy Embrace. They had just had the argument by the lake and Ennis collapses and Jack reaches in and takes him in his arms then it fades off to the dozy embrace. Then back to reality and Ennis is driving off down the road. I think it is see you in the morning but it's been so long since i have seen the movie. God, I think that is the one of the saddest part. Going from the beauty of the Dozy Embrace and the look of sheer contentment and peace on Jacks face to the angry older jack watching Ennis drive off.
Front-Ranger:
Thanks, Rich. Another reason why I may be confused is because Jack says "See you for supper" and writes "See you in two weeks fish will be jumping" and Ennis says "Well see you around."
Must schedule another viewing!!
Front-Ranger:
Would like to get an answer on this before moving forward with a new quote from the book.
When he leaves the dozy embrace in the movie, does Ennis say "See you in the morning?"

Quote for the day:
Tell you what, we could a had a good life together, a fuckin real good life. You wouldn't do it, Ennis, so what we got now is Brokeback Mountain. Everthing built on that. It's all we got, boy, fuckin all, so I hope you know that if you don't never know the rest. Count the damn few times we been together in twenty years. Measure the fuckin short leash you keep me on, then ask me about Mexico and then tell me you'll kill me for needin it and not hardly never getting it. You got no fuckin idea how bad it gets. I'm not you. I can't make it on a couple a high-altitiude fucks once or twice a year. You're too much for me, Ennis, you son of a whoreson bitch. I wish I knew how to quit you.

Yes he does. Ennis says:
"I gotta go. [small pause and very small nod from Jack] See you in the morning."
