Jack: Is there anything interestin’ up there in Heaven?
Ennis: Well, I was just sending up a prayer of thanks.
Jack: For what?
Ennis: For you forgettin’ to bring that 1)harmonica. I’m
enjoying the peace and quiet.
Jack: You know it could be like this, just like this, always.
Ennis: Yeah? How do you figure that?
Jack: What if you and me had a little 2)ranch somewhere? A little cow-and-a-calf operation? Be a sweet life. I mean, hell, Lureen’s old man? ①You bet he’d give me a 3)down
payment to get lost. I mean, he more or less already said it.
Ennis: No, I...I told you it 4)ain’t gonna be that way. You know...you got your wife and baby in Texas. And, you know, I got my life in Riverton.
Jack: Is that so? You and Alma, that’s a life?
Ennis: Now you shut up about Alma.This ain’t her fault. The bottom line is, we’re around each other, and this thing 5)grabs hold of us again—in the wrong place, in the wrong time—and we’re dead. I tell you there…there were these two old guys ranched up together down home, Earl and Rich, and they was a joke in town even though they were…they were pretty tough old birds. Anyway, they…they found Earl dead in an 6)irrigation ditch.
Jack: You seen this?
Ennis: Yeah, ②I was what? Nine years old. My daddy, he made sure me and my brother seen it. For all I know, he done the job. Two guys living together? No way. Now, we can get together once in a while way the hell out in the
middle of nowhere, but...
Jack: Once in a while? Every four years?
Ennis: Well, if you can’t fix it, Jack, you gotta stand it.
Jack: For how long?
Ennis: As long as we can ride it. There ain’t no 7)reins on this one.
杰克:天堂里有什么趣事吗?
艾尼斯:我只不过做了个感谢的祷告。
杰克:感谢什么呢?
艾尼斯:感谢你没带那破口琴来,我很享受这份宁静祥和。
杰克:你知道我们可以这样,就像现在这样,直到永远。
艾尼斯:是吗?怎么说?
杰克:如果我们在某个地方弄个小农场,养几头牛? 那种生活一定很美。我的意思是,去他的萝琳老爸,他肯定想用一笔钱让我自动消失,我是说,他或多或少已经提到过。
艾尼斯:不,我……我告诉过你不可以那样。你知道,你在德州有妻儿,而我在里弗顿有我的生活。
杰克:就这原因吗?你和阿尔玛,那也算生活?
艾尼斯:不准批评阿尔玛,她没有错。最重要的是,我们拥有彼此,这使我们再度聚首,要是换个时间,换个地点,我们必死无疑。告诉你,在我们家乡有两个老家伙,厄尔和瑞奇,他们厮守一起共同生活,他们是镇上的笑柄。尽管他们是十分坚毅的那种人,然而,厄尔被发现死在灌水沟里。
杰克:你亲眼所见?
艾尼斯:没错,我那时几岁来着?九岁。我爸爸要求我和我哥哥务必在场,据我所知,他也有份(折磨那两个人)。两个男人在一起生活?不可能的。现在我们可以偶尔找个偏僻的地方见面,但……
杰克:偶尔?四年才一次?
艾尼斯:如果你不能改变现实,杰克,那就要忍受它。
杰克:忍多久?
艾尼斯:直到你能够驾驭它,现实就像一匹无法驾驭的马。
