What if Brokeback Mountain had been adapted by Martin Scorcese?
GOODFAIRIES
[Opening Shot: Jack Twist's bloodied body on that Texas field. Camera point-of-view ascending up to the sky (soul to heaven).]
Jack (played by Ray Liotta) (VO): So this is how it ends. Fag-bashed by a bunch of Lone Star jag-offs while my ex sits home and makes up lies about bursting tires. Dumb broad. What did she want, marrying a guy who dressed like I did for the bull ride. Me and Ennis. We had paradise in Wyoming and we screwed it all up...
[Flash back to Wyoming, 1963. Shot: Jack shaving in the car mirror, covertly scoping out Ennis (played by De Niro, of course).]
Ennis (VO): Look at him, checking me out like I was some 10 dollar bar girl in Denver. Still, I knew the moment we met we were doomed to lose our hearts to each other. Yeah, I was engaged to that broad. So freakin what? A guy like Jack only comes along once and you go where your equipment says to.
Ennis: Sheep. Freakin sheep.
Jack: Better than goats. [Both smile]
[Shot: A montage of Jack and Ennis herding sheep, making camp, various outdoor things.]
Jack (VO): Sure we had girlfriends somewhere. Doesn't matter. Guy spends too much freakin time outdoors and it suddenly becomes either him or the sheep. And I ain't no sheep-f%^&@# that's for sure.
Ennis (VO): He'd been watching me watchin' him. It just had to happen...
[Interior: Tent. Night. Jack grabs Ennis's hand and drapes it up over him. Ennis reacts, grabs Jack.]
Ennis: Do I arouse you? I mean, is there something about me that you find particularly erotic?
Jack: So why don't ya do somethn about it, big-talker.
[Cue up particularly ironic classic 60s pop track]
Stumble it!
