Ennis made a quip about rodeo cowboys, saying that his daddy thought they were all f**k-ups!  Thankfully, Jack had a sense of humour and indulged him with his drunken-rodeo routine!  :)

Jack and Ennis rented a motel room.
Their idea of a room with a view was a tent with a zipper.

Jack and Ennis wile away their evening hours on Brokeback drinking, smoking, conversing and eventually stemming the rose.
