The first time Jack and Ennis were under the same roof was in Aguirre's trailer.

Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.

"U" is unlocked

To extend Proulx's metaphor, Jack has unlocked the tumblers of Ennis' heart and in panic Ennis throws away the key.

"V" is values

Ennis values every stolen minute with Jack, but Jack wants more than stolen moments.  Jack wants a sweet, complete life.

Jack’s hopes of a life with Ennis as he’d imagined it were xpunged when Ennis wouldn’t commit to such a life after his divorce.

"Y" is yuppie

The solitude and peacefulness of the locations in [Brokeback Mountain] really has stuck with me... I feel like I need to get out of the city, away from the noise, and the yuppie gotta-have-it drive to obtain more posessions.     Brokeback Mountain by KR900

Jack had to abide by Ennis' wishes and leave after driving so far to see him.
