In the final scene of Brokeback Mountain, the shirts have been interchanged; Ennis's shirt is now covering Jack's.

"L" is languish

Through the years, Ennis would deny his feelings about Jack, while Jack would languish for the sweet life.

"M" is mangy

Unwilling to "make it on a couple of high-altitude fucks once or twice a year," Jack made his way to Juarez and a mangy alley frequented by peso-driven male prostitutes.

Jack and Ennis would always prearrange their "fishing trips."

Ennis thought nothing of rearranging his life to meet up with Jack.

"S" is Service

In 1963 when he met Jack Twist, Ennis was engaged to Alma Beers. Both Jack and Ennis claimed to be saving money for a small spread; in Ennis's case that meant a tobacco can with two five-dollar bills inside. That spring, hungry for any job, each had signed up with Farm and Ranch Employment -- they came together on paper as herder and camp tender for the same sheep operation north of Signal. The summer range lay above the tree line on Forest Service land on Brokeback Mountain. It would be Jack Twist's second summer on the mountain, Ennis's first. Neither of them was twenty.

The unforgettable twang of two notes played on a guitar begins the journey of Ennis del Mar and Jack Twist in Brokeback Mountain.

For five days Ennis and a Chilean sheepherder worked at untangling the mixed sheep.
