“‘Try this one,’ said Jack, ‘and I’ll say it just one time. Tell you what, we could a had a good life together, a fuckin real good life. You wouldn’t do it, Ennis, so what we got now is Brokeback Mountain.’”
~From the short story “Brokeback Mountain” by Annie Proulx
“They were no longer young men with all of it before them. Jack had filled out through the shoulders and hams, Ennis stayed lean as a clothes-pole, stepped around in worn boots, jeans and shirts summer and winter, added a canvas coat in cold weather. A benign growth appeared on his eyelid and gave it a drooping appearance, a broken nose healed crooked.”
