You could have it so much better



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.

Abri o berreiro de novo, obviamente.

Update: Quando eu vi Brokeback Mountain pela primeira vez, escrevi um post dizendo que o sentimento que melhor definia Ennis e Jack era "longing", e que não havia palavra em português que definisse isto. O Maurício deixou um comment sugerindo "sublimação".

Vejamos o que diz o Cambridge Dictionary:

sublimate verb [T]
to express strong emotions or use energy by doing an activity, especially an activity which is considered socially acceptable:
Hostile feelings and violent responses often seem to be sublimated into sporting activities.

Ou seja, sublimação seria a expressão daquele sentimento por meio de outra atividade, ou seja, a tentativa de sufocar a emoção, esquecê-la mesmo. A palavra em português é exatamente a mesma.

e

long (WANT) verb FORMAL
long for sth; long to do sth to want something very much:
She longed to see him again.
I'm longing for news of him.

longing noun [S or U]
a feeling of wanting something or someone very much:
He gazed at her, his eyes full of longing.
a longing look
a longing for his homeland

Querer muito, alguém ou alguma coisa. É isso. Strong desire, de acordo com a definição do Oxford. Não conheço termo parecido em português. Alguém?
