While Jack became discombobulated by the sheep mix-up, Ennis handled it with equanimity.

"F" is forgets

Ennis never forgets how important Aguirre could be:

                    JACK
          Fuck Aguirre.

                    ENNIS
               (frustrated, making a point)
          Fuck Aguirre? What if we need a work for him
          again? We gotta stick this out, Jack  [screenplay]

"G" is guesswork

Separating the two herds of sheep involved a little guesswork since some of the paint brands were worn off.

After the sheep were finally separated, Jack treated Ennis to a harmonic tune on his harmonica.

"I" is indelibly

Indelibly marking sheep with paint brands is such a problem that Wyoming also uses eartags, registered earmarks, tattoos or fire brands to help sheep herders like Jack and Ennis make more positive identification possible.

"J" is joshed

After the sheep were untangled, Jack, in a better mood, began to play his harmonica and Ennis joshed him about his playing:

"You'll run the sheep off again if you don't quiet down."  [screenplay]

Jack and Ennis tried their darndest to be accurate in separating the two herds of sheep lest Aguirre find out about the mishap.

Jack mean-spiritedly yells, "Fuck Aguirre" and flings a sheep almost at the same time.

While they were nudging the herd along, Ennis joshed Jack about his attempts to play a tune on his harmonica.

Jack's frustration with the sheep screw-up results in his exasperated outburst of "Fuck Aguirre!"
