Shit.

2
You pair of deuces
looking for work...

3
l suggest you get your
scrawny asses in here pronto.

4
(Aguirre)
Up on Brokeback...

5
the Forest Service has got
designated campsites...

6
on the allotments.

7
Them camps can be 3, 4 miles
from where we pasture
the woollies.

8
Bad predator loss
if there's nobody
looking after 'em at night.

9
Now, what l want
is a camp tender...

10
to stay in
the main camp, where
the Forest Service says.

11
But the herder...

12
he's gonna pitch a pup tent
on the QT with the sheep...

13
and he's gonna sleep there.

14
You eat your supper
and breakfast in camp...

15
but you sleep
with the sheep 100%.

16
No fire, don't leave no sign.

17
You roll up that tent
every morning...

18
in case Forest Service
snoops around.

19
[phone ringing]

20
Yeah?

21
No.

22
{man chattering on phone]

23
No!

24
Not on your fucking life.

25
You got your dogs,
your .30-30, you sleep there.

26
Last summer l had
goddamn near 25% loss.
l don't want that again.

27
You.

28
Fridays at noon,
be down at the bridge...

29
with your grocery list
and mules...

30
and somebody with supplies
will be there at the pick-up.

31
Tomorrow morning we'll
truck you up to the jump-off.

32
Jack Twist.
Ennis.

33
Your folks
just stop at Ennis?
Del Mar.

34
Well, nice to know you,
Ennis Del Mar.

35
[dog barking]

36
{man chattering on TV]

37
My second year up here.

38
Last year, one storm,
the lightning
killed 42 sheep.

39
Thought l'd asphyxiate
from the smell.

40
Aguirre got all over my ass,
like l was supposed to
control the weather.

41
But beats working for
my old man. Can't please
my old man, no way.

42
That's why l took
to rodeoing. You ever rodeo?

43
You know, l mean,
once in a while.

44
When l got the entry fee
in my pocket.

45
Yeah.

46
Are you from ranch people?

47
Yeah, l was.

48
Your folks run you off?

49
No, they run themselves off.
There was...

50
one curve in the road in
43 miles, and they miss it.
