Simple, wholesome taste, and filling. I think Ennis is a man of simple tastes himself, and doesn't require much in the way of material happiness--though I think the implication in this one instance is that the other boy's presence made this event "a high-time supper" for our respective heroes.

Or maybe it was the quart of whiskey on shares that did it. ;D

Hell, give me a quart of whiskey on shares and a handsome young cowboy like Jack Twist, and I'll sure have a high-time, even without the supper! ;D

That's a distinction and subtlety that I never would have guessed at. Good observation!

I've asked this before but don't think anyone answerred or heard the same thing. The film...when Jack plays his harmonica for the first time...I think he's lying down near th fire. Listen closely, and I swera he's playing (or attempting to play) "He Was a Friend of Mine"...the song WN sings over the credits...am I just nuts?
