BASQUE All we had. The BkSQUE reads through ENNIS'S current list. E.ASQUE (not looking up from the list) Thought ycu didn't eat soup. ENNIS Sick of beans. EASQUE It's way too early in the summer to be sick of beans. ENNIS ignores the BASQUE'S comment. The BASQUE shrugs, gets in his truck. Drives off ENNIS mounts his big rangy buckskin, Cigar Butt, and leads the two mules back up the mountain. 21 EXT: <strong>BROKEBACK</strong> <strong>MOUNTAIN</strong>: DAY: EmWIS atop Cigar Butt, leads the two mules along the trail Brokeback Mountain looms in the distance, an etercal postcard. It is clear ENNIS enjoys the ride, the silence of the high country. Whistles. Rounds a hend--Cigar Butt balks, spooks, rears up: startles a small black bear in the middle of the trail, who, also scared, promptly runs off into the woods. ENNIS is thrown, lands hard, rolls on the rocky ground. Cigar Butt races off the trail, pulling the two mules alcng with him through the trees and the undergrowth, tearing the supply packs, scattering food everywhere. A bag of flour breaks, creating a white cloud. ENNIS sits up. His temple is cut and bleeding profusely, blocd runs down his cheek. ENMIS gets up, stiff and angry, following the trail of food-- t-he broken bag of flour, a carton of smashsd eggs--to find his horse and mules.

Knows ENNIS wouldr.'t lac ... is zlearly worried. Takes a Wig out of a whiskey bottle. WT HZAR a twig snap: JACK looks cp. WE S3E ENNIS ride into camp atop Cigar Butt, dism~unt, somewhet obscured by the darkness. JACK is more worried than angry, tries to disguise his concern with indignation. JACK Whore the hell you been? Up with the sheep all day, I get down here, hungry as hell ar.d all I find is beans. . . . Silent, EIJNIS walks towards the tent, fire illuninatinc: his face. He sits on a log by the fire. WE SEE the cut on his forehead, gaping now, dried blood covering the whole side of his lace. JACX is startled by the sight of blood all over ENNIS'S cheek. ZACK Good God, Ennis...what happened? ErnIIS (exhausted) Come on a bear. (motions to Cigar Butt) Horse spooked. Took off, pulled the pack nulea along. Scattered food everywhere. (beat) Beans 'bout all we got left.
