Joe Aguirre:  "Now what I want is a camp tender to stay in the main camp where the Forest Service says.  But the herder, he's gonna pitch a pup tent on the Q.T. with the sheep, and he's goin' to sleep there."  [DVD]

Jack knew that if Ennis owed him money, they would keep in touch.

Ennis "had wanted to be a sophomore, felt the word carried a kind of distinction, but the truck broke down short of it, pitching him directly into ranch work."  [story]

In the screenplay, Ennis has a full set of stick-on numbers - uses the one and seven - and throws the remaining numbers into his dirty metal garbage can.

In TS1, the bedroll was big enough, and toasty enough.

=aside= Toast
Hope you don't mind my borrowing your moniker.
It suits you to a "T".  Cheers!

An excerpt from  "Thumbs Down:  Roger Ebert Takes on the Brokeback Mountain Controversy" by Michael Jensen, March 16, 2006 [link]

AfterElton.com:  "Let's cut to the chase.  Do you think homophobia played a part in Brokeback Mountain's upset loss to Crash?"
Roger Ebert:  "Okay, here's my position.  First of all, I believe Crash was the best picture of the year.  And I believe that Brokeback is a great picture.  And so was Munich.  All three were in my top five.  Did some people vote against Brokeback Mountain because of homophobia?  Yes.  Was the Academy homophobic and that was why they didn't make it best picture?  I don't think so.  I don't think that was the deciding factor.  I think that it was probably third among the motives."
