Wyoming.

W- y-o-m-i-n-g.
:40:11
Well, OK.
:40:18
With two weeks until
the pageant...
:40:20
I was practicing my talent,
finishing my costume...
:40:28
brushing up on current events...
:40:30
and running eighteen miles a day
on about four hundred calories.
:40:36
I was ready.
:40:50
Girls, couple of things.
:40:52
All right, very important.
:40:53
Gladys wants us to all go
in show order today.
:40:57
All right, so very important,
don't forget that.
:41:02
Oh, yeah, really nervous.
:41:05
It's been about two months.
:41:08
I haven't told my boyfriend yet.
:41:11
How did you know?
:41:13
I meant nervous
about the pageant.
:41:15
Oh, nervous about the pageant.
:41:20
There are eight thousand
sequins...
:41:22
and fifteen hundred beads
on the skirt alone.
:41:25
My mom had Mrs. Lopez make it.
:41:27
She's one of my father's
many Mexican workers.
:41:30
He lifts them from the poverty
they know in Mexico.
:41:34
Yeah, all my mom's clothes
melted onto mine.
:41:36
Forming, like, this big
polyester meteor in our closet.
:41:40
But in some kind
of weird miracle...
:41:43
our neighbor boy Kenny Hansen...
:41:44
found my tap costume
on the roof of their trailer...
:41:46
while he was setting
coon traps for his dad.
:41:49
Here's the weird part.
:41:50
It was still on the hanger.
:41:53
This is my lucky bolt.
:41:55
They think that it fell
from a DC-10.
:41:58
The doctor said I was really
lucky the flat side hit me.
