Working with farm animals and dogs made Ennis aware of the zoonosis leptospirosis. He warned Jack about it in the screenplay when he said: "Get lepto drinking that (lake water). Better to have a beer."

Jack and Ennis had an unspoken agreement to not talk about how they felt about one another.

Brokeback allowed Jack and Ennis to have time together in a buffer zone–shielded from the uncaring and tough world they were accustomed to.

In the conclusion to "Walden," Thoreau could well have been describing the “Brokeback” Wyoming of the 1960s when he wrote, "The surface of the earth is soft and impressible by the feet of men; and so with the paths which the mind travels. How worn and dusty, then, must be the highways of the world, how deep the ruts of tradition and conformity!" From Brokeback Mountain to Walden Pond

Ennis (stiffens): "If you don't want no more of my kids, I'll be happy to leave you alone."
Alma (under her breath): "...I'd have 'em, if you'd support 'em...."
Alma, a look of despair on her face, reaches up and turns off the bedside lamp. [screenplay]

Ennis often failed to enunciate clearly; consequently, he was often seen as uncaring or aloof.

L.D. was a manipulative control freak, but Jack stopped him in his tracks at Thanksgiving dinner.

Jack (to Ennis): “I’m commutin' four hours a day. Come in for breakfast, go back to the sheep. evenin' get 'em bedded down, come in for supper, go back to the sheep, spend half the night checkin’ for damn coyotes.” [screenplay]

Their days on Brokeback proved the most halcyon of Ennis and Jack's existence.
