Following the interview with Aguirre, Jack and Ennis headed to the nearest bar.

"In an age when the fight over gay marriage still rages, Brokeback Mountain, the tale of two men who are scarcely even allowed to imagine being together, asks, through the very purity with which it touches us:  When it comes to love, what sort of world do we really want?"

-- Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

Following L.D.'s first contradiction of his wishes regarding the TV, Jack took the high road and remained calm; however, when the cantankerous old coot made a purposeful step in the same direction, Jack offered to lay him low.

Alma became increasing resentful toward Ennis because of "the embrace she had glimpsed, Ennis's fishing trips once or twice a year with Jack Twist and never a vacation with her and the girls, his disinclination to step out and have any fun, his yearning for low paid, long-houred ranch work, his propensity to roll to the wall and sleep as soon as he hit the bed, his failure to look for a decent permanent job with the county or the power company, put her in a long, slow dive and when Alma Jr. was nine and Francine seven she said, what am I doin' hangin' around with him, divorced Ennis and married the Riverton grocer."

[Fran]

Ennis, high-arched nose and narrow face, was scruffy and a little cave-chested, balanced a small torso on long, caliper legs, possessed a muscular and supple body made for the horse and for fighting. His reflexes were uncommonly quick and he was farsighted enough to dislike reading anything except Hamley's saddle catalog.
