Daniel:
SCENE: Afternoon
YOUNG JACK:
((Tries to concentrate on chopping wood, but his eyes keep drifting back up to the mountain where Ennis is herding sheep. He looks at the meager pile of firewood he has managed to chop so far.))
%% Sh*t! I've been choppin' wood for hours but I ain't hardly gotten any. I gotta stop thinkin' on Ennis, focus on this here log.%%
((Jack lifts his arms to cleave the DISAPPEARING LOG standing before him, but he hears something behind him. He turns and sees Aguirre approaching on his horse Cesar. Being Jack and therefore kind to all animals, he looks the horse dead in the eye and winks at him. Then he looks up to to Aguirre, rolls his eyes.))
Howdy, Mr. Aguirre. Come to check up on us?
** Happy Pi Approximation Day! We're supposed to eat apple pie today so everyone head out to your local Greyhound bus station and grab some. **

AGUIRRE: %%There's that Jack Twist, ain't he supposed to be the herder?? What's he doin here in camp in the middle a the day?? Where's that other guy--in the tent I suppose, sleepin it off. That's where I'd be, if I weren't such a sour pus!!%%
Twist, your Uncle Harold's in the hospital with pneumonia. Docs don't expect he'll make it. {pause) Your ma sent me to tell you. %%Actually, that's a little fib. Mrs. Twist called becuz Harold was askin for me. {repressed sob}%%
So here I am.
%%Here I am, and this blue-eyed guy makes me remember 20 years ago. My first sheepherdin job right here on Brokeback Mountain!! With Harold--man, that boy was hot!!%% {Sigh} ((Chews on toothpick))
Daniel:
YOUNG JACK:
((nods sullenly))
Well, unless you want me ta do some of that Native American mumbo jumbo again, there ain't much I can do about Uncle Harold up here.
((notices a warm twinkle in Aguirre's cold eyes when he talks about Harold))
You wan' me to go and see 'im? I ken take him a note or somethin' if ya want.
Front-Ranger:
AGUIRRE:
**Acutally Aguirre was just about to say that!!**
You wan' me to go and see 'im? I ken take him a note or somethin' if ya want.
U can't do nothin about it up here. Not down there neither, unless U can cure pneumonia.
((Scans sky with big-ass binoculars)) %%Jeez, I think that boy COULD cure pneumonia!!%%
