Memorable lines of "Brokeback Mountain"

Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger at "Brokeback Mountain" Venice Film Festival Screening, on 2nd September, 2005 in Venice, Italy.
"Brokeback was an awesome movie. Here are some lines which we consider memorable:

Ennis Del Mar: You ever get the feelin'... I don't know, er... when you're in town and someone looks at you all suspicious, like he knows? And then you go out on the pavement and everyone looks like they know too?

Jack Twist: [Casually] Well... maybe you oughta get out of there, you know? Find yourself someplace different. Maybe Texas.
Ennis Del Mar: [Sarcastically] Texas? Sure, maybe you can convince Alma to let you and Lureen to adopt the girls. And we can just live together herding sheep. And it'll rain money from LD Newsome and whiskey'll flow in the streams - Jack, that's real smart.

Jack Twist: Go to hell, Ennis. If you wanna live your miserable fuckin' life, then go right ahead.

Ennis Del Mar: Fine.

Jack Twist: I was just thinkin' out loud.

Ennis Del Mar: Yep, you're a real thinker there. Goddamn. Jack fuckin' Twist; got it all figured out, ain't ya?

Jack Twist: My momma, she believes in the Pentecost.

Ennis Del Mar: What exactly is the Pentecost? I mean, my folks, they was Methodists.

Jack Twist: The Pentecost... I don't... I don't know what the pentacost is. I guess it means the world ends and guys like you and me march off to hell.

Ennis Del Mar: Speak for yourself. You may be a sinner, but I ain't yet had the opportunity.
Ennis Del Mar: I'm gonna tell you this one time, Jack fuckin' Twist, an' 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'.

Jack Twist: Yeah well try this one, and I'll say it just once!

Ennis Del Mar: Go ahead!

Jack Twist: 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, even if you don't never know the rest! You count the damn few times we have been together in nearly twenty years and you measure the short fucking leash you keep me on - and then you ask me about Mexico and tell me you'll kill me for needing somethin' I don't hardly never get. You have no idea how bad it gets! I'm not you... I can't make it on a coupla high-altitude fucks once or twice a year! You are too much for me Ennis, you sonofawhoreson bitch! I wish I knew how to quit you.

Ennis Del Mar: [crying] Well, why don't you? Why don't you just let me be? It's because of you Jack, that I'm like this! I'm nothin'... I'm nowhere... Get the fuck off me! I can't stand being like this no more, Jack".

Thank You Kendra, I absolutely love Brokeback Mountain my all time favorite movie. I think I will have to see it again soon. "It could be like this, just like this always"

that's the definition of romantic dialogue, Gail:)

"Brokeback Mountain" demands continuous revisitation, the same as my preferred verses which I read back, I consider this film as one magnificent poem about love, loss and nature.

One of the greatest all time films ever, "Brokeback Mountain" doesn't let indifferent anyone with sensitivity, I hope your man appreciates this movie as much as you do!
