Didn’t we all?  The late Heath Ledger, too — he died far too young.  BTW, where do you think I got the screen name JackFTwist?   Bonus points to anyone who knows where the “F” comes from.  Hint:  “Ennis” uses it at least twice in the movie.  (Maybe in Annie Proulx’s short story, too, but I don’t remember.)

[Steve]

Hello there Jack Fuckin Twist.  I have the transcription of the movie. Ennis uses it three times in the movie.

Scene in parking lot below Riverton apartment:

(JACK drives up in a  red and white pickup truck.  ENNIS stands and looks out the window, then hurries out the door of apartment 2, standing at the top of the stairs as JACK gets out of the truck.) 

ENNIS  Jack fuckin' Twist! 

(JACK and ENNIS embrace.)

Scene at camp in the mountains:

(ENNIS is washing metal dishes at the edge of the stream.) 

JACK  (walking towards ENNIS from the direction of the tent, visibly older now, with a moustache)  All I'm saying is, what's the point of makin' it?  If the taxes don't get it, the inflation eats it all up.  You should see Lureen, punchin' numbers in her adding machine, huntin' for extra zeros, her eyes gettin' smaller and smaller, it's like watchin' a rabbit tryin' to squeeze into a snakehole with a coyote on its tail.

ENNIS  That's high-class entertainment if you ask me. 

JACK  For what it's worth.

ENNIS  You and Lureen, it's normal and all?

JACK  Sure.

ENNIS  She don't ever suspect?  (JACK shakes his head "no.")  You ever get the feelin', I don't know, uh, when you're in town, and someone looks at you, suspicious, like he knows.  And then you go out on the pavement, and everyone's lookin' at you, like they all know too?

JACK  Maybe you oughta get out of there.  You know, find yourself someplace different.  Maybe Texas.

ENNIS  Texas?  Sure, and maybe you can convince Alma to let you and Lureen adopt the girls.  Then we could just live together, herding sheep, and it'll rain money from L.D. Newsome, and whiskey'll flow in the streams.  Jack, that's real smart.

JACK  Go to hell, Ennis Del Mar.  You wanna live your miserable fuckin' life, you go right ahead.  I was just thinkin' out loud.  (Storms off.)

ENNIS  Yep, you're a real thinker there.  (Loses hold of one of the containers he's washing, which floats away, and he chases it.)  God damn . . . Jack fuckin' Twist.  Got it all figured out, ain't he? 

Scene at trailhead in the morning, both trucks packed and ready to leave:

JACK  I guess I'll head on up to Lightning Flat.  See the folks for a day or two.

ENNIS  There's somethin' I been meanin' to tell you, bud.  It's likely November before I can come out here again.  After we ship stock and before the winter feedin' starts again.

JACK  November.  What in the hell happened to August?  (slams truck door, and ENNIS flinches)  Christ, Ennis, you know, you had a fuckin' week to say some little word about this.

ENNIS  Well . . .

JACK  And why's it we're always in the friggin' cold?  We oughta go south, where it's warm, you know.  We oughta go to Mexico.

ENNIS  Mexico?  Hell, you know me.  About all the travelin' I ever done is around a coffeepot, lookin' for the handle.  (No response.)  Come on, Jack.  Lighten up on me.  We can hunt in November, kill us a nice elk.  I'll try if I can get Don Wroe's cabin again.  We had a good time that year, didn't we?

JACK  There's never enough time, never enough.  You know, friend, this is a goddamn bitch of an unsatisfactory situation.  You used to come away easy.  Now it's like seein' the Pope.

ENNIS  Jack, I gotta work.  Huh?  Them earlier days I just quit the job.  You forget what it's like bein' broke all the time.  You ever hear of child support?  I'll tell you this, I can't quit this one.  And I can't get the time off.  It was hard enough gettin' this time.  The tradeoff was August.  You got a better idea?

JACK  I did once.

ENNIS  You did once.  (Approaches till he's in JACK's face.)  Well, have you been to Mexico, Jack?  'Cause I hear what they got in Mexico for boys like you.

JACK  Hell yes, I been to Mexico.  Is that a fuckin' problem?

ENNIS  I'm gonna tell you this one time, Jack fuckin' Twist.  And 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'.  (Walks away.)

JACK  Yeah well, try this one, and I'll say it just once.

ENNIS  Go ahead.

JACK  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 if you don't never know the rest. 

 

Hoping @JackFTwist gives out really good bonus points.

That was impressive.  That was very impressive.

[JackFTwist]

Very impressive, indeed, Steve!  Nothing like giving "chapter and verse.”  If I can’t figure out suitable bonus points, maybe Joel can.   

BTW, I checked Annie Proulx’s original short story, and Ennis uses the “Jack fuckin’ Twist” line only in the third scene above.  He doesn’t use it in the story’s version of the memorable first scene described above (with the truck), and the second scene isn’t even in the short story at all.  Roughly half the movie, including the second scene above, was added by the screenwriters to provide enough material to turn a 27-page short story into a full-length movie. Almost all the “straight” scenes were added material, including all of those with Jack’s family in Texas and most of those with Ennis’s family. (And the short story describes Jack as “curly-headed and smiling and bucktoothed” — not quite like Jake Gyllenhaal!)

A couple of Utah cowboys and their dogs, from the photo book “Sundance: Men of Utah” by PhoHawk Photos.  In photo #2, that’s one happy-looking border collie.  Can’t say I blame him.

Yes it is, only thing is I used to go horse riding in the uk occasionally (not naked) but I always got a hard-on every time. Used to be a bit embarrassing if I was wearing light coloured jeans ( wet patches ten to show up more). still quite enjoyable. Hmm maybe I should try it out again..............., preferably with the guy above
