Even Cowgirls Get The Blues Page #5

MADAME ZOE:

A husband, no doubt about it, though

he is years away. There are children,

too. Five, maybe six, but the husband

is not the father. They will inherit

your characteristics.

Mrs. Hankshaw, aghast, has heard plenty, and she ushers her

daughter out of the trailer as if she were leading her from

a burning cocktail lounge.

TITLE ACROSS THE SCREEN:

COWGIRL INTERLUDE

(Delores del Ruby)

EXT. BADLANDS DAY

Views of vast vistas of arid grasslands, open and unmodulated,

thirsty and exposed.

At the western edge of the DAKOTAS, the monotony of the

landscape, now gradually tilting toward the Rockies, is

interrupted by the Badlands -- sculptured canyons so deep

and chaotic they can break a devil's heart.

Between the grasslands and the eerie badlands ruins, there

lies a narrow band of humpy hills, green and pastoral. The

hills are carpeted with midlength prairie grass.

The Rubber Rose buildings are clustered at the badlands end

at the base of a butte, higher, broader and longer than any

in its vicinity, known as Siwash Ridge. a sign over the entry

of the ranch reads:

Welcome to the Rubber Rose Ranch

(the largest all-girl ranch in the west)

Delores del Ruby arrives at the Rubber Rose Ranch, carrying

a whip at her side and batting an educated lash at the

surrounding sights.

DELORES:

I've traveled through the Yucatan

with a circus, popping false eyelashes

off a trained monkey with a bullwhip.

When I ate peyote one night and had

a vision. Niwetükame, the Mother

Goddess, came to me on the back of a

doe, hummingbirds sipping the tears

she was shedding, crying 'Delores,

you must lead my daughters against

their natural enemy. You must come

to the Rubber Rose Ranch and prepare

for your mission, the details of

which will be revealed to you in a

third vision....' That night I whipped

the sh*t out of my black lover and

ran away. For a while I drove around,

making a living selling peyote buttons

to hippies, until I made my way

here...
