Mine just happened to have 2 prints folded in, just like a double fortune cookie -- lucky me!!!

Say I have a couple of questions about that photo...First, do you think Ennis said either or neither? I recall it was Jack who said "me neither." (But I forget where). Also, why is Jack just chillin with his harmonica while Ennis is setting up the camp all on his own, hmmm???

The famous Jack "Me neither" is the response to Ennis's "You know I ain't queer."

RodneyFL:
Right you are, Jeff, with the "Me neither" line. . . took place in between FNIT and SNIT up on the mountain
"One shot thing we got going on here"
"Nobody's business but ours"
"You know I ain't queer"
"Me neither"
. . . Here is the re-creation, soon to be made available on video by the fabulous Fritzkep:

That's right! And so, it is a mirror to the scene in the picture! Because they both are agreeing that they "ain't quite right" and Ennis is joking that he'd a been "better off" if  Jack had "broke in two."  :-\

RodneyFL:
In answer to your second question about why was Jack lying down playing the harmonica while Ennis was still fussing with the tent . . . Jack had apparently finished his share of camp setup (fire pit and cooking facility), water, food storage, while Ennis put up the tent, and it took him a while longer . . . just a thought!
