Jack:  "I tell you what.  We could had a good life together, fuckin' real good life.
Had us a place of our own.
But you didn't want it, Ennis.
So what we got now is Brokeback Mountain."

Ennis: "You ever get the feelin'... I don't know, er... when you're in town and someone looks at you all suspicious, like he knows? And then you go out on the pavement and everyone looks like they know too?"

def: n 1: an evasion of the point of an argument by raising irrelevant distinctions or objections [syn: quibble, cavil] 2: the essence that makes something the kind of thing it is and makes it different from any other [syn: haecceity]

"T" is tantamount
