51
Yeah? How do you figure that?

52
What if you and me had
a little ranch somewhere...

53
a little
cow-and-calf operation?
lt'd be a sweet life.

54
l mean, hell,
Lureen's old man...

55
you bet he'd give me
a down payment to get lost.

56
l mean, he more or less
already said it.

57
No, l...

58
l told you
it ain't gonna be that way.

59
You know...

60
you got your wife
and baby in Texas.

61
You know,
l got my life in Riverton.

62
ls that so?

63
You and Alma, that's a life?
Now you shut up about Alma.

64
This ain't her fault.

65
The bottom line is...

66
we're around each other...

67
and this thing grabs hold
of us again...

68
in the wrong place...

69
in the wrong time...

70
and we're dead.

71
l tell you...

72
there were these two old guys
ranched up together down home.

73
(Ennis)
EarI and Rich.

74
And they was a joke in town...

75
even though they were
pretty tough oId birds.

76
Anyway,
they found EarI dead...

77
in an irrigation ditch.

78
They took a tire iron to him,
spurred him up...

79
and drug him around by
his dick tiII it puIIed off.

80
You seen this?
Yeah, l was what?
Nine years old.

81
(Ennis)
My daddy, he made sure
me and my brother seen it.

82
Hell, for all l know,
he done the job.

83
Two guys living together?
No way.

84
Now, we can get together
once in a while...

85
way the hell out
in the middle of nowhere,
but....

86
''Once in a while.''

87
Every four fucking years?

88
Well,
if you can't fix it, Jack,
you gotta stand it.

89
For how long?

90
(Ennis)
As long as we can ride it.

91
There ain't no reins
on this one.

92
[swing squeaking]

93
(Ennis)
lt's nearly suppertime.

94
Where the hell
do you think you're going?

95
(Alma)
To work!

96
l thought you had the day off!
Well, you thought wrong!

97
The girls need to be fed.
Well, you take care of it!

98
Alma! Alma!

99
Supper's on the stove!

100
No one's eating
unless you're serving it!
