:37:01
Thanks
for the breakfast.
:37:03
Oh I know about
Sissy Hankshaw, all right.
:37:05
I've done a little
hitchhiking myself.
:37:08
I'd heard tales
about you
:37:10
from people I'd meet
in jail cells and truck stops.
:37:12
Jail cells?
:37:14
I heard about your, uh...
wonderful thumbs.
:37:17
Hm...
:37:19
Well, you may claim that
I have an unfair advantage,
:37:22
but no more so
than Nijinsky,
:37:26
whose reputation as the world's
most incomparable dancer
:37:28
is untainted by the fact
that his feet were abnormal...
:37:30
havin' the bone structure
of bird feet.
:37:33
Nature built Nijinsky
to dance,
:37:35
me to direct traffic.
:37:53
The example of your life
:37:55
has helped me in my struggle
to be a cowgirl.
:37:58
- Tell me about it.
- About what?
:38:00
About being a cowgirl.
When you say the word,
:38:03
you make it sound like it was painted
in radium on the side of a pearl.
:38:12
Well, I saw my first cowgirl
in a Sears catalog.
:38:16
I was three.
:38:18
Up until then, I'd only
ever heard of cowboys.
:38:21
Years later,
my real struggle began.
:38:24
I had been teased
by my classmates for some time
:38:28
about my particular
fantasy.
:38:31
Cowgirls exist as an image,
a fairly common one.
:38:35
The idea of cowgirls,
:38:37
especially for little girls,
prevails in our culture.
:38:40
Therefore,
it seems to me
:38:43
that the existence
of cowgirls should prevail.
:38:46
I mean, otherwise
they're being fooled.
:38:49
Like in the Rodeo Hall of Fame
in Oklahoma City,
:38:52
there are just two cowgirls.
Two...
:38:55
and both of them
were trick riders.
:38:57
Trick ridin' is what cowgirls
have almost always done in rodeo.
