How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Brokeback Mountain.
Quote #1
[Ennis hitches a ride to a job, and saves half a cigarette, while Jack has a junky truck.]
The film's opening scenes emphasize the poor economy of the time. These men have to struggle and two tough jobs simply to survive.
Quote #2
AGUIRRE: If you two pair of deuces are lookin' for work, I suggest you get your scrawny asses in here pronto
Aguirre hires the men without so much as an interview. Them simply showing up is good enough for him. We have a feeling he can't be paying them all that much, if he accepts them at first sight.
