Jack realizes that these foreigners do not speak English:
50 EXT: BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN: DAY:
A grim, grey morning. ENNIS and JACK, both mounted, the blue heelers at attention.
Glum, looking at a huge mass of milling sheep. Twenty yards away,
TWO CHILEAN SHEEPHERDERS are looking just as glum at the huge mixed herd, gesturing wildly.
ENNIS
What're we gonna do?
JACK wants to impress ENNIS.
JACK
I can handle this.
JACK, puffed up like a banty rooster, rides to the CHILEAN SHEEPHERDERS.
ENNIS sits on Cigar Butt and curses under his breath.
JACK
(cont'd) (bluffing the Chileans)
Hey there: You boys got your herd all mixed in with ours.
My boss's gonna chew my ass, and you got some fuckin' explainin' to do!
CHILEAN SHEEPHERDER
¿Cual es su problema? ¿Qué dice?
JACK
(surprised)
English.. don't one a you talk English?
CHILEAN SHEEPHERDER
¿Qué?
The CHILEANS look puzzled: neither speaks English.
JACK is embarrassed, realizes his scene of bravado has failed completely.
JACK
(yells back to ENNIS)
You speak Spanish?
ENNIS
(shakes his head - looks at the mess of sheep)
... son of a bitch.
JACK
(to the CHILEANS)
Tell you what, me and my partner here,
we're gonna go cut out our sheep. That okay with you?
The CHILEAN SHEEPHERDERS look at JACK, then each other, confused.
