That first summer, an unclad Ennis tempted a half-peeking Jack to fall, and hard.

From the article Brokeback Mountain Story to Screenplay Reviewed publishied in the spring of 2009: Essays by the two script writers Diana Ossana and Larry McMurtry read almost like love letters addressed to the story itself, and both talk of their reticence and joy in taking Brokeback Mountain from story to screenplay and making one of the seminal films of the new century.

For one, Larry McMurtry had stopped reading short fiction many years before Diana Ossana practically forced him into looking at Annie Proulx's short story when she presented him with a tattered copy of The New Yorker. It's effect on them both, as documented in the book, is a testament to both Proulx's writing and the haunting semblance of life Ennis and Jack take on in reading or being witness to the film, and this is powerfully captured in Brokeback Mountain: Story To Screenplay.

Ennis found it hard to believe that a man with Jack's sparkling personality could spring from two such dour people as Mr. and Mrs. John Twist.

When Alma asked about Jack, Ennis tested the waters by saying that he was a "fishing buddy", hoping she would fall for it hook, line, and sinker.
