When Ennis fell off the horse and got cut, Jack tried to nurse the wound, but Ennis would have none of it.

Jack and Ennis preferred to meet in obscure places:
 in the "back of (story) or middle of (film) nowhere".

From the story: "He gets up, scratching the grey wedge of belly and pubic hair, shuffles to the gas burner, pours leftover coffee in a chipped enamel pan..."

Several times in the movie, you can hear thunder in the background.

Chilean sheepherder: "¡Lluvia! ¡Hombre!  ¿Qué vamos a hacer ahora?" Interestingly enough, that means, "Rain! Man! What are we going to do now?" in English but it was roughly translated so that might not be totally true.

A little hint about the quizas question you almost got right, Fran. "Rain! Man!" It sounds like the hippies have gotten to the Chileans as well! Peace out, man!

I won't even tell you how much time I spent trying to figure out the first part. BTW, I'm expecting partial credit. I did add some Spanish punctuation marks above.

Wolf Ears Bar is the name of the little dance bar where Cassie Ann unknowingly did her fag-hag routine on Ennis.  She got some of what she wanted; he dint!
