C’mon now, you’re sleepin’ on your feet like a horse. My mama used to say that to me when I was little. And sing to me…
– Ennis Del Mar
I’m gonna tell you this one time, Jack fuckin’ Twist, an’ I ain’t foolin’. What I don’t know – all them things that I don’t know – could get you killed if I come to know them. I ain’t jokin’.
– Ennis Del Mar
Yeah well try this one, and I’ll say it just once!
– Jack Twist
Go ahead!
– Ennis Del Mar
Tell you what, we coulda 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! Everything’s built on that! That’s all we got, boy, fuckin’ all. So I hope you know that, even if you don’t never know the rest! You count the damn few times we have been together in nearly twenty years and you measure the short fucking leash you keep me on – and then you ask me about Mexico and tell me you’ll kill me for needing somethin’ I don’t hardly never get. You have no idea how bad it gets! I’m not you… I can’t make it on a coupla high-altitude fucks once or twice a year! You are too much for me Ennis, you sonofawhoreson bitch! I wish I knew how to quit you.
– Jack Twist
Well, why don’t you? Why don’t you just let me be? It’s because of you Jack, that I’m like this! I’m nothin’… I’m nowhere… Get the fuck off me! I can’t stand being like this no more, Jack.
– Ennis Del Mar
Jack fuckin’ Twist.
– Ennis Del Mar
Ya know it could be like this, just like this always.
– Jack Twist
Friend, that’s more words than you’ve spoke in the past two weeks.
– Jack Twist
Hell, that’s the most I’ve spoke in a year.
– Ennis Del Mar
Brokeback got us good, don’t it?
– Jack Twist
You know, your friend could come inside, have a cup of coffee…
– Alma Beers Del Mar
He’s from Texas.
– Ennis Del Mar
Texans don’t drink coffee?
– Alma Beers Del Mar
We can get together… once in a while, way the hell out in the middle of nowhere, but…
– Ennis Del Mar
Once in a while? Every four fuckin’ years?
– Jack Twist
If you can’t fix it, Jack, you gotta stand it.
– Ennis Del Mar
For how long?
– Jack Twist
For as long as we can ride it. There ain’t no reins on this one.
– Ennis Del Mar
There ain’t never enough time, never enough…
– Jack Twist
You know friend, this is a god damn bitch of an unsatisfactory situation.
– Jack Twist
You boys sure found a way to make the time pass up there. Twist, you guys wasn’t gettin’ paid to leave the dogs babysittin’ the sheep while you stem the rose.
– Joe Aguirre
As for our marriage, we can do it over the phone.
– Jack Twist
Why is it always so friggin’ cold? We oughta go south where it’s warm, you know, we oughta go to Mexico!
– Jack Twist
Mexico? Hell Jack, you know me, about all the travelin’ I ever done is round a coffee pot lookin’ for the handle.
– Ennis Del Mar
Thought you didn’t eat soup.
– Basque
Yeah, well I’m sick of beans.
– Ennis Del Mar
Too early in summer to be sick of beans.
– Basque
You don’t say much but you get your point across.
