Even Cowgirls Get the Blues

then cowgirls become
just another compromise.

1:10:02
I want a finer fate than that...
for me and every other cowgirl.

1:10:06
Better no cowgirls at all
than cowgirls compromised.

1:10:10
How did this business
get started anyhow?

1:10:12
Why are the birds
nesting here?

1:10:14
You were aware we were
feeding them, weren't you?

1:10:17
We fed 'em brown rice.
They stayed over a couple of extra days.

1:10:20
Then we decided to try
something different.

1:10:23
We mixed our brown rice with fishmeal.
Whoopers love seafood.

1:10:26
Then Delores suggested
another ingredient.

1:10:30
We think
that's what did the trick.

1:10:32
- You mean...?
- Peyote!

1:10:35
They're drugged?
1:10:37
Oh come off it, Sissy.
What do you mean, "drugged"?

1:10:39
Every living thing
is a chemical composition

1:10:42
and anything that is added to it
changes that composition.

1:10:44
If you eat a cheeseburger
or a Three Musketeers bar...

1:10:49
it changes
your body chemistry.

1:10:51
The kind of food you eat,
1:10:53
the kind of air you breathe
can change your mental state.

1:10:56
- Does that mean you're drugged?
- No, I guess not.

1:11:01
"Drugged" is a stupid word.
1:11:07
But the peyote is obviously
affecting their brains.

1:11:10
It's made them break
a migratory pattern

1:11:12
that goes back
thousands of years.

1:11:14
The way I see it,
1:11:16
the peyote mellowed them out,
made them less uptight.

1:11:18
They were afraid of humans
and bad weather.

1:11:22
That's why they migrated
and kept to themselves.

1:11:24
Peyote has enlightened them.
1:11:27
It's taught them there's
nothing to fear but fear itself.

1:11:31
Now they're digging life
and letting the bad vibes slide on.

1:11:34
"Don't worry,
Be happy."

1:11:37
Be here now.
1:11:40
This here discussion
is destined to become academic,

1:11:42
because we've got less
than half a bag of peyote buttons left

1:11:45
and Delores' run ended up
in the Sisters jail.

1:11:48
So any day now,
we'll get a chance

1:11:50
to see how the whoopers behave
when they come down.

1:11:52
But in the meantime,
I'd like to say this about fear...
