INT. OUR STORY BEGINS ON A SMALL FARM IN ALICEVILLE, AL WHERE A BEAUTIFUL BLACK GIRL IS IN THE COW PASTURE ATTEMPTING TO RIDE A MEAN BRAHMA BULL.
SUEDE
I guess you’re wondering what I’m
doing riding a bull. I’m a country girl.
I’ve lived in Aliceville, AL all of my
life. The population around here isn’t
quite 800 families. You see I’ve got
this dream of being the Bull Riding
Queen of the Yellow Horn Rodeo in
Houston, TX. I’m 22 years old and
in the spring of the year I’m headed
for Tuscaloosa, AL where they’re having
a big rodeo every year the winner of the
rodeo gets to go to Houston, TX, to earn
the title of Bull Riding Queen of the Yellow
Horn Rodeo. I’m the baddest cowgirl this
side of the Mississippi. Excuse my manners,
Suede’s the name and I’m going to show
you how to ride a bull bama style.
GRANDMA
Suede!
HOLLERING TOWARD THE COW PASTURE
SUEDE
WAVING BACK
Yes Granny!
GRANDMA
Get off my bull child! We just got him
and we can’t afford for you to kill him
yet! That gals crazy, whoever heard tell
of a girl riding and roping bulls, that just
ain’t right it ain’t even lady like, Suede!
SUEDE
RUNNING OUT OF THE PASTURE OUT OF BREATH
yes mame.
GRANDMA
Listen to me child, you’re too pretty
of a gal to be spending all of your time
out there in the pasture playing wit them
bulls. People goina start talking they can’t
see why such a pretty girl like you spends
your time with bulls and not looking for
you a man. Between you and Mi Mi with
yawl crazy ways yawl goina kill me.
SUEDE
Mi Mi IS MY COUSIN, SHE’S A MIDGET, BUT SHE’LL GIVE A BULL HELL TOO!
SUEDE
Awe grandma, you worry too much I
can handle any bull around here and
I ain’t worryin about no man either,
you see grandma I’ve got this dream
of bein the baddest cowgirl around.
I’m going to make all kinds of money
ridin and ropin bulls so you won’t have
to rake and scrape to make ends meet
no more.
GRANDMA
Child I ain’t worried bout no money I’ve
been rakin and scrapin change together
since I took both you and Mi Mi in after
yawl momma’s got citified and left home.
You and Mi Mi keep me happy and alive
child. And anyway I’m more worried
bout my bull than you. He ain’t goina be
fit to mate when time comes if you keep
ridin him back and forth in that pasture
you’re goina brake his spirit.
SUEDE
I love you grandma
SHE GIVES HER A KISS AND A HUG
GRANDMA
THROWS HER ARMS AROUND SUEDE
Awe girl get outta here and I know why
you don’t won’t no man he couldn’t
stand the smell of bull on ya all the time,

SUEDE
LAUGHING
Yes mame, grandma I’m going down
by the Tombigbee River with Mi Mi.
GRANDMA
Ok baby, yawl just get in here fore
it gets too dark.
SUEDE
Yes mame
THE TOMBIGBEE RIVE IS THE PLACE WHERE MI MI AND I GO TO MAKE OUR BIG PLANS AND SOMETIMES JUST TO GET AWAY FROM EVERYBODY ELSE.
SUEDE
Hey Mi Mi
MI MI
Hey cous, you’ve been ridin grandma’s
bull again.
SUEDE
Yes I have.
MI MI
Girl I’m glad you stop talking country,
and you’re going to kill grandmas new
bull!
SUEDE
May be so
SHE LAUGHS
and you know grandma likes me talking
country, she thinks you’re being smart if
you talk to her proper like she’s old
school she’s almost ninety and has never
left Alabama.
MI MI
I know, I love her too she took us in
when she could have said no but listen
up guess what I saw!
SUEDE
What!
MI MI
The Rebel Barn has a new mechanical
riding bull.
SUEDE
Naw girl friend!
MI MI
Yup, I saw them unloading it today
while I was in town.
SUEDE
Who’s talking country now cous, but
you know I’ve got to ride it, if I can
lick that bull; I know I’m going to the
Rodeo in Tuscaloosa.
MI MI
Well cous you might just get your
wish, and don’t worry about how I talk.
SUEDE
What are you talking about Mi Mi?
MI MI
The owner of The Rebel Barn has been
passing out these flyers all day and it
say’s whoever can ride his bull the
longest will win $2000 in prize money.
SUEDE
That’s all I need to know, I’m going to
go to Tuscaloosa for the rodeo for sure now!
MI MI
I thought you’d enjoy that little bit of
news but now how are we going to
get into The Rebel Barn? Ain’t no
black folks I know of ever been inside.
SUEDE
Well cous, times are changing and The
Rebel Barn is got to go with the flow.
I’m 22 years old and I’m going to ride
that bull Saturday night and win the prize
money honey so The Rebel better get
ready for a smooth chocolate philly!
MI MI
Well you know I’ve got your back Suede
but we might need a little help up there at
The Rebel just in case trouble jumps off.
But I’ll straddle that machine like a man
THEY SMACK EACH OTHER’S HAND
SUEDE
Don’t’ say that too loud, you know
grandma still thinks we’re virgins.
MI MI
Suede who’s going to hear us way out
here on this creek and who told grandma
we were virgins?
SUEDE
Grandma still thinks of us as her little
babies, she still wants us in before midnight.
MI MI
You need to stop playing grandma stupid,
grandma had seventeen head of children
and she’s out lived most of them. She
wants us in at midnight cause in six more
hours she’s up and out and she doesn’t
want us so tired we can’t do our chores.
SUEDE
You maybe right about granny I learned
along time ago don’t count her out and
don’t put anything pass her. Because you
remember the other night when we came
out here with the Johnson twins, the news
beat us back home and there wasn’t anybody
out here but us.
Mi Mi
You need to stop that superstitious shit, hell
I’m still wondering how she found that out!
BOTH GIRLS START LOOKING AROUND TO SEE IF THERE IS ANYONE THERE.

SMILEY
The rules are like this; whoever can stay
on the bull the longest wins the purse.
But you have to ride all three speeds and
so far you are the only ones signed up.
Why don’t you ladies so sit a spell and
have a beer on the house. I’ll call you

THEY BOTH WALK OVER TO AN EMPTY TABLE NOT TOO FAR FROM THE BULL AND TAKE A SEAT AND LOOK AROUND.
SMILEY

if you would like to dance?
HE REACHES OUT FOR SUEDE HAND
SUEDE
My name is Suede and this is my cousin Mi Mi
and I’m sorry if our presence here is causing
you and Mr. Smiley problems.
BRAD
Yawl ain’t no problem we can’t help it if they
can’t move on so they can move out! Cause I’m
a real touch steer. Now you tell me why would
they call such a pretty thing like you black stallion
Suede? You’re too sweet and soft to be called that.
SUEDE
I get my name because I’m soft to touch but hard
to handle. And why are you known as an outlaw
around here?
BRAD
They call me Outlaw cause I’m not from around here
and I haven’t met a philly I can’t tame, oooh wee I
can see now that you’re a sassy little philly Miss
Suede, I haven’t met a cowgirl like you before.
SUEDE
I hope that’s a compliment Brad? And there is
a first time for everything, some stallions were
meant to run wild and free.
BRAD
We’ve done enough talking let’s see if you
can handle a spin around the floor.
THEY WALK TOWARD THE DANCE FLOOR
I hope you can keep up with a fast two step.
SUEDE
Fast or slow, I’m game for either.
BRAD
Hey Smiley
SMILEY
Yeah Brad
BRAD
Look I’ve got me a wild little stallion and
she’s ready to ride.
SMILEY
Hey everybody clear the floor, we’ve got a couple
of cow folk who want to stump some of the splinters
out of the woodwork. Hey Ken get over here from
behind the bar and watch my table I’m going kick
up a little dust myself with that mini stallion over there.
KEN

building shake! Cause I’m the other side of midnight.
THE MUSIC BEGINS SUEDE, MI MI, SMILEY, AND BRAD HIT THE DANCE FLOOR THE LADIES GIVE THE MEN THE DANCE OF THEIR LIFE, THEY BRING DOWN THE HOUSE WITH A SASSY SEDUCTIVE TWO STEPPIN GROOVE
KEN
Hey little bit, how’s bout you shankin a leg

MI MI

SMILEY
Ken you’re lucky I’ve got to catch my second win

night and dam the drinkin!
KEN

armor and my shield is ready to shine...

or trying to fulfill your sick sexual
fantasies either, now help me with this

LUCKY
False alarm that’s not the greyhound bus

CLIFF

and I didn’t like you so much I believe
I’d shoot you.
LUCKY
Hey Cliff, here comes your top contender
and she’s looking better than ever
A BEAUTIFUL BLONDE HAIRED WOMEN MUSCULAR BODY BUILD DRIVES UP IN AN OLD 1950’S CHEVY WITH THREE OTHER WOMEN RIDING ALONG WITH HER WHO LOOK LIKE BODY BUILDERS TOO
GAL
Hey Cliff, how you doin this fine mornin?
CLIFF
If it ain’t the #1 contender, winner of the
Tuscaloosa rodeo two years in a row.
It’s a tuff break Gal, they keep cheating
you oughttta you’re due in Houston.
Maybe this year will be your year Gal.
GAL
You’re dam right, I’m going all the way
this year Cliff. I’m not only going to be
Tuscaloosa queen but the all over queen
of the rodeo!
CLIFF
That’s the spirit girl!
GAL
Cliff you sure know how to make a girl
feel good and this time if I win I just
might give you some.
CLIFF
Well if that’s the case I’ll be rootin for
you but I know an old boy that just
might be a little jealous.
GAL
That’s old news I finished that ride
along time ago!
CLIFF
I’ve heard all that before, I’ll just wait
and see, but the registration fee is $500
dollars and this year goina be better
than any othern yet!
GAL
After last years partin and ropin I didn’t
think it could get any better, how’s my
competition coming this year, do I
have to work or is this goina be a easy haul?
CLIFF
I hear tell there’s a little philly outta
Georgia named Pearlie going to give you
a run for your money.
GAL
If she knows what good for her she
better not get in my way or she’ll
be going back to Georgia ridin a wheel
chair and sippin outta of a straw!
CLIFF
Now Gal, you know the rules, no funny
business, everything fair and square
and if you’ve got to cheat to win then
you’re not the star I thought you were.
GAL
Now you know me better than that
Cliff what other way is there, I
wouldn’t think of trashing our towns’
good name or mine.
CLIFF
Right, anyway the welcoming party
will be at the Lazy Bull tonight and
we’ve got a live band, a new dance
floor, new up stairs sleepin quarters
and an old fashioned bar-be-que with
lots of surprises!
GAL
Just in case the action is kinda slow
will everyone be there?
CLIFF
I don’t know about every one but the
old boy just got back in town this
morning, he told me he’d be on the door
as usual but he’s down at his spot
looking at how his new place has
shaped up. But I knew you still
had a sweet spot for him.
GAL
I’ve got a spot for him and it ain’t
sweet, come on girls lets get movin
we’ve got some planning to do.
You see cliff this year is different,
I’ve got a new strategy, hey Lucky
SHE STARTS WALKING OVER TO THE REGISTRATION TABLE
here’s a five spot, sign me up!
LUCKY
Lookin good Gal, I’ll be glad to take

GAL
Hook Lucky up girls

LUCKY
If yawl keep that up it won’t be a rodeo
it goina be a rowin laud ham mercy!
GAL
Hey Cliff here comes my competition,
but I’ve got things to do let me know
if there’s any ruff riders I need to worry
about.
LUCKY
I’ve got you covered, Gal you’re goina
to be hard to whip! Look at the muscles
in your legs.
CLIFF
Lucky that may be so but her competition
is the least of her worries I feel sorry for
my boy.
LUCKY
Why do you feel sorry for him with
a woman like that?
CLIFF
Now see Lucky if you knew anythin
bout women you’d know that girl got
weddin bells ringin in her ears.
LUCKY
Well I’m glad I don’t know anythin about
women cause Cowboy can take care of
himself, I don’t think he’s met a philly
yet he can’t handle. Cause if Gal thinks
he’s goina marry her she’s been kicked
in the head one time too many by them
bulls she’s been ridin!
CLIFF

CLIFF
Don’t say that word too loud boy.
COWBOY
What word Cliff?
CLIFF
Judge, she’s got weddin bells rinin
in her ears.
COWBOY
Don’t be silly Cliff, I ain’t met a
woman yet who can tie me up or down,
well maybe one but
CLIFF INTERRUPTS
CLIFF
That reminds me, the new contestants
that wear their numbers on their
backs let them all in free. And
don’t think I didn’t hear you say there
maybe one who, who is the one?
COWBOY
You don’t know her and I’m not talking
now how many did we register this time?
CLIFF
We broke our own record this year and
registered 45 women. I still don’t understand
why you have to be a silent partner.
COWBOY
Because of my relationship with Gal, I
don’t want anyone to think that we are
playin favorites understand? Were there
any good ones?
CLIFF
I understand you’re right but I’ll let you
judge for yourself about the good the bad
and the sassy cause it’s goina be a
hot time at the Lazy Bull tonight!
LUCKY CALLS CLIFF FROM ACROSS THE ROOM IN THE LAZY BULL
LUCKY

ass.
LUCKY

CLIFF
Well why didn’t you say so?
LUCKY

THEY HIT THE FLOOR AND THE MUSIC BEGINS BUT IT’S NOT SLOW BUT A MIXTURE OF FAST AND SLOW THERE ARE TWO COUPLES LEFT ON THE FLOOR SUEDE/COWBOY AND GAL/CODY
GAL
This isn’t fair there’s no way that
spades can out step two country
folk like us.
CODY
HE LOOKS AT GAL AS HE WALKS OFF THE FLOOR
You’ve got the wrong guy Gal you
should have paired up with Dan he’s
the only other person round here with
a messed up point of view and as long
as you have that point of view I’ll see ya!
CLIFF
Well folks we’ve got a winner, Cowboy
and Suede, lets give them a hand and here’s
a check for $500 big ones, Suede you’ve
got half your registration fee back after
you split your winnings with your partner.
I call that handling your business!
GAL IS MAD AND BEGINS TO EXPRESS HER ANGER
GAL
This is a bunch of Bull, that black sheep
ain’t won nothing I need a partner and I’ll
show her black ass what’s what!
CLIFF
First of all you are disqualified for bad sport
men’s like conduct and it’s not our fault you
can’t hold on to your dance partner. And if
I hear anymore name callin you won’t be
ridin nothin in this rodeo you’ll have to
take your chances in Houston on your own
and get you another sponsor.
GAL
Fuck you Cliff and all of your ass kissing
crew this is bull shit yawl just trying to act
like she belongs here and yawl know she
doesn’t. Come on he can’t fight all of us,
we can make it like it use to be just us.
CLIFF
Seems to me Gal you’re out there on your
own, I don’t give a dam how you feel but
you will respect the rules of this rodeo and
my club and as of tonight you are no longer
welcome in my club. You’ve paid your
registration money and if you or your crew
do anything between now and the rodeo you’ll
be band from ever ridin in this contest and
I’ll personally make sure that the other major
ridin contest sponsors know why you are no longer
welcome. You’re mixed up if you think
change ain’t coming, change is coming and
anyone who thinks it’s not is foolin themselves.
Gal get your crew and get out.
GAL AND HER CREW LEAVES THE CLUB THEY MEET A MAN OUTSIDE OF THE CLUB WHERE THEY HAVE A CONVERSATION
DAN
Gal, sssshhhh come here
GAL
What do you want?
DAN
I’m sorry the way that Cliff and Cowboy
is handlin you I feel the same way you
do the darkies are already takin over sports
so why do they have to bother with ridin
they need to leave us good people something
we can call our own.
GAL
If you feel that way why didn’t you speak up
back in there, scare of Cliff?
DAN
I lost my job as supervisor on the road
crew just because I made a simple comment
about one of my workers, I can’t help it if
he’s a wet back. So what he was born here
between them wet backs and the darkies real
people ain’t goina have any jobs. I kept my
mouth cause this gig plays the bills and I’ve
got a family. But I’ve got your back in a tight.
GAL
I understand I just might need a
friend sooner or later; it’s good to
know I’ve got one.
DAN
I better get back before I’m missed.
THERE IS A SHADOW ON THE SIDE OF THE BULIDING LISTENING TO THEIR CONVERSATION UNNOTICED BY EITHER. CLIFF IS INSIDE OF THE CLUB STILL TALKING ON THE MIC ABOUT THE COMING EVENTS
CLIFF
Now that the trash has been put out we
can get on with our fun, for the next
three days we will be down at the
stadium gettin ready for the main event.
All of the contestant will have three
days to train and keep in shape. Trainin

KEN & DUKE

got to spruce this party up again. What you
think Duke?
DUKE
You’re dam right Hey Outsiders strike up
some foot stompin music it’s a little quiet
around here, Dan where you’ve been people
round here wanta drink. Let’s get this party
going!
SUEDE
Thanks for the dance Brad but I’ve had enough,
I’m just goina go to my room.
COWBOY
Look Suede I know it’s hard tryin to keep
your cool but some people who are
scared they only have your skin color
to launch out at don’t let them win by
makin you shut yourself up and away
from what you love!
SUEDE
I just need to get outta here I need some
air.
COWBOY
Ok, I can help you with that let’s go.
SUEDE
Let me find Pearlie first and tell her
where I’m going so she won’t be lookin
for me.
SUEDE LOOKS FOR PEARLIE IN THE CLUB BUT SHE CAN’T FIND HER ANYWHERE SO SHE LOOKS FOR ANDY AND SHE CAN’T FIND HIM EITHER.
SO RETURNS TO COWBOY AND THEY GO FOR A WALK AROUND TOWN
COWBOY
Suede since this is our second date can
I get a little personal?
SUEDE
Our second date when did we have our
first one?
COWBOY
I know I had to leave before our first date
was over but I had to get back here the men
I had working on my house needed to make
some changes in a hurry from my initial design
plans and when I’m putting my money out I
want things done perfectly right.
SUEDE
I understand then cause I’ve got over twenty
acres of land back home and when I’m finished
ridin and winning contest I plan to build me a
house with horse stables and go into the bull
studding business. I’m going to raise the top
breed of bulls anywhere and sell their
genes. So I’ll let you ask me your question,
personal or not.
COWBOY
How did you get interested in ridin bulls
you could have been a model you’ve got
the looks for it.
SUEDE
Thanks for the model ok, that’s my mother’s
and aunt’s thing, but no thanks I’ve been
ridin bulls since I was six, my grandma said
I just had it in me
SHE BEGINS TO TELLHIM A STORY
my grandfather had over seventy acres of
land. He raised cattle for a livin. They tell me
he had some of the best breeding bulls around.
My grandparents had seventeen children my
mother and Mi Mi’s mother were twins. They
were the youngest. My older aunts and uncles
followed in my family’s footsteps they raised
cattle or farmed but not my mother and her
twin. They wanted no parts of the country life
they wanted to move to the city but my
grandfather wasn’t havin it. He told them
they were going to go to the local college and
get a good education and help manage the
family business. But my mom and aunt came
up with a plan to get around what my grandfather
had for them they went out and got themselves
pregnant by some young men who were visiting
Aliceville from New York. They told my
grandfather that they were pregnant by the Ministers
son and nephew from New York and that they were
going to New York to have their babies so he and
my grandmother wouldn’t have to deal with their shame.
When they told my grandfather it broke his heart.
He left the house and went out in the pasture to get
his bull that was caught in the fence. He usually
waited on my uncles but this time he didn’t. He
was out there tryin to get the bull loose when
another one of his bulls charged at him. He was
not paying any attention and the rammed him and the
bulls horn damaged his lung by the time
my uncles got to him he had lost a lot
of blood. They took him to the hospital
in town but he was in bad shape so on his
dying bed he made my mother and aunt promise
that they would stay home and have their
babies and then leave. My mother really
thought that my father wanted to marry her
so she wrote him letters only to find out that
he was already getting married to a girl in
New York and his cousin was already married
they had only come down to celebrate their
uncles birthday with his son who had moved
to New York to go to school and they were
looking for a one night stand so my mother
had me and my aunt had Mi Mi two days
apart and then one month later they both left
for New York and that’s that but one afternoon
my grandma who raised Mi Mi and me could not
find me. She called my uncles and after a long
search they found me out in the pasture ridin one
of the meanest bulls my grandfather had I was
six. My grandma said “Lord, Ben that’s my
grandfather name done left his spirit in that girl”
and I’ve been ridin and taking care of bulls ever
since.
THEY FIND THEMSELVES STANDING IN FRONT OF A RENOVATED BARN
COWBOY
Suede you’re a natural I’m sorry about your
grandpa but I agree with your grandma
you’ve got his spirit. I want to be your
trainer these next few days cause I believe
you’ve got what it takes to be #1 and to
make sure I’m goina get some help from
the best.
SUEDE
Thanks I preciate it.
COWBOY
Now let me get you back to the Lazy
Bull so you can get a good night’s rest
cause I’ll be there to pick you up at 6:00am.
SUEDE
You think I’m goina get some rest
at the Lazy bull they’re still partying.
COWBOY
Not to worry Cliff made sure that his new
rooms were sound proof to the noise in the
club I was against it cause you can’t hear out
or in and somebody might need some help.
SUEDE
I don’t sleep without my shank, so if you’re
up to no good and have plans to tap on my
door you better know what you’re doin or
else you’ll come up missin something real
important.
COWBOY LAUGHS AND TAKES SUEDE BACK TO THE LAZY BULL HE THEN RETURNS TO HIS HOME WHERE HE IS WELCOME BY HIS ROOM MATE AND COACH HIS FATHER THE OLD TIMER AUSTIN
COWBOY
What have I told you about creepin around
this building at night I know you think I
didn’t see you when Suede and I were
out front talking so what do you think,
does she have it old timer?
AUSTIN (OLD TIMER)
She’s got legs and thighs like a through
bred, not too tall not too short, she’s
the right weight for her height, and to
top it all off she’s not bad lookin I
think she’s a winner.
COWBOY
You goin help me train her
OLD TIMER
What time do we get started?
COWBOY
How’s six?
OLD TIMER
Mighty late ain’t cha?
COWBOY
Cliff’s givin them a break for the
first day but after today it’s five am
OLD TIMER
Now that sounds better.
SUEDE GOES BACK TO HER ROOM AT THE LAZY BULL AND PEARLE AND
ANDY ARE OCCUPYIN THEIR ROOM SUEDE GOES BACK DOWN TO THE LAZY BULL AND CLIFF ESCORTS HER TO A SPARE ROOM AT THE CLUB UNEXPECTED BY SUEDE OR PEARLIE SOMEONE TO BREAKS INTO THEIR ROOM AND LEAVES AN ADULT IGUANA IN THE ROOM AND HE BITES ANDY ON THE HAND AND PERALIE SHOOTS IT
PEARLIE
Help! Help!
SHE RUNS OUT OF THE ROOM AFTER SHOOTING THE IGUANA, CLIFF, FRANK, AND CHASE RUN UPSTAIRS TO THE ROOM
CLIFF
What the hell!
PEARLIE
Andy’s been bit by this dam thing
and he’s sick!
CLIFF
Where the hell did an iguana come
from? Let’s get him over to the hospital,
CHASE
I’m goina have to lance your hand Andy
to stop the bacteria from travelin through
the blood.
ANDY IS IN A LOT OF PAIN AND IS HOLLERING
ANDY
Just save my life, dam my hand!
CLIFF
Frank go find Ty and Cowboy,
somebody going pay for this!
CHASE
AFTER ARRIVING AT THE HOSPITAL CHASE TELLS ANDY THAT HE’S GOIN TO LOOSE HIS LEFT HAND BY THIS TIME TY AND COWBOY HAVE ARRIEVED AT THE HOSPITAL TOO
Dam I hate this shit, Pearlie he’s goina
loose his left hand I’ll know more when
I get out of surgery.
PEARLIE
Cliff, who would do something like this?
CLIFF
Pearlie to be straight with you I don’t think
that it was meant for Andy I think it was
meant for Suede. Whoever did this didn’t
know that Suede was in another room and
that you and Andy was bumpin the headboard.
PEARLIE
Well whoever the sick fuck is, is goina pay
for this!
TY
Cliff I’ve called in the Sheriff outta Birmingham
to get involved with this one.
COWBOY
Cliff I think you’re right this was meant for someone
else, we need to tighten up our forces, and it’s
somebody on the insides doin you can be sure of that.
TY
Whoever did it is goina answer to me!
CLIFF
Cowboy gets back to the Lazy bull
and make sure that sweet phillie is alright.
COWBOY
I’m on my way!
COWBOY GETS BACK TO THE LAZY BULL TO CHECK ON SUEDE, SUEDE IS STILL SLEEP IN THE SPARE ROOM, COWBOY NOTICES DAN TIPPPING AROUND PEARLIE AND SUEDE’S ROOM COWBOY CONFRONTS DAN
COWBOY
Dan what the hell are you doin in Pearlie’s
room?
DAN
I heard some noise and I came to see what
was the problem?
COWBOY
You’re a heard some noise lie, these rooms
are sound proof and unless you were in the
room with Pearlie you couldn’t hear nothing,
you son of a bitch you were hid in that room
weren’t you!
DAN NERVIOUS NOW STARTS TO PANIC AT COWBOY’S QUESTION AND TELLS ON HISSELF
DAN
I didn’t mean it Cowboy I only want to scare
that darkie so she would leave the contest and
we could get things back to normal. Hell Cowboy
you know what I’m talking bout.
COWBOY
You sorry piece of shit, do you know you cost
Andy his hand, and what’s wrong with Suede
bein in the contest, you’ve got every thing all
messed up. That’s why you lost your job on the
road crew that latin man didn’t make you loose
your job, you bein stupid made you loose your job.
Where can you go in America where there isn’t
somebody different than you? Why do you think
they call us American’s, because we’re suppose to
better than this, mad at someone cause their
different hell every body in the south is different
than the rest of the world.
DAN
You don’t understand, I struggled to get that job
as supervisor, I worked like a dog day in and day
out and just cause I voiced my opinion I was fired.
COWBOY
How would you have like it if the shoe was
on the other foot and somebody would
have called you a red neck or a hillbilly
or even worst a honkey! You’d be ready
to kill someone. What makes you better than
the next man just cause your skin is bleach
white, you put your boots on one foot a time,
I knew you were stupid but I didn’t think you
were stupid and crazy. How you goina get mad
at a man for doin a job you said you wouldn’t
do remember? I ain’t goina work out here in the
sun all day and bust my butt for minimum wage
they better get some desperate mother! So they did!
DAN
I don’t know what I was thinking I was just caught
up in the moment; listenin to Gal after she got put
out of the club and drinkin I just messed up.
COWBOY
Naw part-ner you did more than messed up you
caused a good man to loose his hand and now
who’s goina take care of your family while you’re
in jail?
DAN
Cowboy I can’t go to jail I won’t make it!
COWBOY
You should have thought of that before you
did that stupid stunt, I can try and talk to Ty and
Cliff but you’re goina have to talk to Andy cause
he’s the one missin a hand.
BY THAT TIME ANOTHER SCREEM SHOUTS OUT AND A DOOR FLY’S OPEN ITA SUEDE AND A SNAKE IS IN HER ROOM SHE GETS OUT WITHOUT IT BITING HER. COWBOY AND DAN RUN DOWN TO HER ROOM
COWBOY
Now what!
SUEDE
It’s a snake in my room and it’s still alive.
COWBOY
Move outta my way
HE GOES IN THE ROOM AND KILLS THE SNAKE. COWBODY IS FURIOUS NOW.
DAN
Cowboy I swear I didn’t have nothing to do
with it, I didn’t know she was in that room!
COWBOY
Frank go get Cliff back here.
CLIFF, TY, AND FRANK COME BACK TO THE LAZY BULL, COWBOY HAS SUEDE AND SHE IS DRINKIN A CUP OF COFFEE. COWBOY TELLS HER ABOUT ANDY AND HAS DAN SITTING AT THE OPPOSITE TABLE
DAN
Cliff I’m sorry I didn’t mean to hurt Andy
I got confused, my family needs me don’t send
me to jail, Ty you know me, I didn’t mean to do it!
CLIFF
You sick piece of shit, you just cause a man to
loose his hand and if Cowboy tells me you put
that dam snake in that girls room you may never
see day light again!
COWBOY
Naw Cliff he didn’t pull that stunt he said he
didn’t even know she was in there. Cliff who
else knew she was in that spare room.
CLIFF
Hell I don’t know I went back downstairs
and starting chewin the fat with the crowd.
TY
Dan you’re under arrest and the Judge is goina
give you your sentence. That was a dumb thing
to do even dumber than callin that man outta his
name I thought after you lost your job you’d learned
some since.
DAN
I’m sorry Ty my family needs me you know my
wife is sick.
TY
Like I said its goina be up to the Judge.
CLIFF
Cowboy let me talk with ya for a minute.
I think we need to get a safer place for that
young philly she’s needs close watchin.
COWBOY
I agree
CLIFF
How about your place ain’t no man or woman
crazy enough to mess with her at your place.
Didn’t you just build on that extra room for guest?
COWBOY
You don’t have to convince me to let her stay me
and the Old Timer will be glad to have some sweet
company.
CLIFF
Then it’s settled then, we’ll move her things down to
your place in the morning I think she wants to go and
check on Pearlie at the hospital.
COWBOY
I’ll take her up there but you talk Ty into bein firm
with Dan but not too tuff, he’s got family his wife is
real sick and he was just bein stupid.
CLIFF
I understand fully Cowboy but he like to have got a
man killed tonight actin stupid but I’ll see what I can do.
COWBOY
Thanks Cliff make him pay a stiff fine, get house
arrest, and do community service down at the Eastside
Baptist Church I’m sure after working around Preacher
Lewis and his followers he will learn a few things
about his fellowman like how to treat them. Preacher
Lewis is a good man he was the man who did the
remodelin on my house.
CLIFF
That’s a good idea and Preacher Lewis will let
him make a little money on the side too!
He needs to learn how to work with all people
Blacks, Latins, Mexicans and anyone else who’s
different.
COWBOY TAKES SUEDE TO THE HOSPITAL WHERE SHE TALKS TO PEARLIE AND TELLS HER OF HER NEW ROOMING PLANS AND PEARLIE LETS HER KNOW SHE’S MOVIN IN WITH ANDY TO HELP TAKE CARE OF HIM AFTER HE GETS OUT. SHE LETS HER KNOW THAT CLIFF AND LUCKY WERE GOING TO TRAIN HER SINCE ANDY COULDN’T.
OLD TIMER
Lets rise and shine missy it’s time to practice.
BUT WHEN HE LOOKED IN SUEDE’S ROOM SHE WAS NO WHERE TO BE FOUND SO THEN HE HUNTS FOR COWBOY TO TELL HIM ONLY TO FIND SUEDE DOWNSTAIRS MAKING A POT OF COFFEE
Girl you gave me a scare then! I was just
about to go and find that boy of mine and call
out the dogs. I don’t want nothing happenin
to you too!
SUEDE

SUEDE

COWBOY

SUEDE
Brad have you heard any more about Andy

COWBOY
Suede nobody around here calls me Brad

SUEDE
I think Brad is much more sexier than Cowboy
and less common.
COWBOY
Now you messin with my manhood you can call
me what you want and to answer your question,
yes I called the hospital this morning and even
though he’s in a lot of pain Andy’s going to be
alright. I hate he had to loose his hand over
some stupid shit cause by fear and lack of
knowledge. He and Pearlie must really like
each other cause she spent the night with him
and they are snug as a bug in a rug this morning.
SUEDE
I’m so glad to hear that cause Pearlie told me
she had be lonely for a long time her boyfriend
got killed in a bad motor cycle accident back
home and she had not found anyone since then.
But who is going to help train her she was
planning on Andy?
COWBOY
Not to worry Cliff and Lucky got that thing
covered they’re her trainers and when Andy
gets out of the hospital he’s going to be in her
camp too!
SUEDE
I see everybody here is not a fool.
OLD TIMER
Are you two going stand here and look goo goo
eyes at each other all day or are we going to
get some serious trainin in?
AFTER HIS COMMENT SUEDE AND COWBOY FOLLOW THE OLD TIMER OUT BACK OF COWBOY’S PLACE WHERE THEY FIND A GYM, A MECHINAL BULL, AND A PASTURE FULL OF THE MEANEST LOOKIN BULLS YOU EVER WANT TO SEE. THEY BEGIN TRAININ SUEDE BY WORKIN OUT IN THE GYM THEN THE MECHINAL BULL AND NOW THEY ARE ABOUT TO GO IN TO THE PASTURE.
OLD TIMER
You doin good missy keep up good work,

and ready for a good supper.
SUEDE

OLD TIMER

there he is.
MIDNIGHT WAS REDDISH BROWN BULL WITH COLD BLACK EYES, HE WAS PRIME STOCK
OLD TIMER

COWBOY
She sizing him up, she’s checkin his
strengths and weakness.
OLD TIMER
She can do that with out ridin him?
COWBOY

SUEDE
Ok fellas I’m ready.
COWBOY AND OLD TIMER AND A FEW HIRED HANDS LEAD THE BULL INTO THE MOUNTING STALL AND SUEDE GETS READY TO RIDE SHE TIGHTENS HER ROPE AND IS WAITIN FOR THE GATE TO OPEN
COWBOY
Ok girl keep your spurs in, lock your
hand in.
SUEDE
You just pull the rope, and let her rip!
THE MEN OPEN THE GATE AND SUEDE RIDES MIDNIGHT LIKE A NATIVE BORN BULL RIDER. THE MEN CATCH UP WITH HER AND THE BULL AND SHE DISMOUNTS AND THE OLD TIMER CAN’T BELIVE HER TIME
OLD TIMER
Dam girl are you all right you stayed on
that bull for 10.3 seconds I’ve never known
a women to ride that long!
SUEDE
Pop’s I’ve been ridin bulls since I was six
years old and it took all I had to stay on that
bull he gave me the ride of my life and I think
I’ve heard something pop!
SUEDE PASSES OUT AND COWBOY AND THE OLD TIMER RUN TO GET HER
OLD TIMER

COWBOY COMES BACK WITH CHASE AND HE EXAMINES SUEDE WHILE COWBOY AND THE OLD TIMER PACE OUTSIDE HER ROOM
CHASE
DOC COMES OUT LAUGHING
she’s alright fellas just got a little too
excited for the first day.
OLD TIMER
A little too excited, a little too excited hell
she rode Midnight for 10.3 seconds without
a scratch and then passes out.
CHASE
No wonder she passed out she had an
energy rush I gave her a glass of lemonade
and let her sit down for a minute and she’s
all right. No broken bones or sprains. But
I’m going to have to watch her if she ridin
bulls like that for practice. I hate to think
what she’s going to do when the real show
comes. And you two should know better than
to let her do a full days work out after a full night
of drinkin and dancing. If you two can’t be more
responsible than that I’m going to have to train
her myself.
OLD TIMER
Like hell you will, you just want to
get in on the credit, you know she’s
bad and you think you’re going move

OLD TIMER AND COWBOY ARE IN THE ROOM WITH SUEDE FUSSIN AND LAUGHIN WITH HER BEFORE THEY ALL GET READY TO GO TO THE LAZY BULL FOR DINNER
SUEDE
I’m sorry I gave you a scare pops I just
got excited, ridin midnight was better
than bein with a man.
OLD TIMER
Girl you’ve been hangin out in the pasture
too long, if ridin bulls is what gets you
going Lord ham mercy!
COWBOY
Well pops I find it kind of sexy myself.
OLD TIMER
Of course you would, you ain’t got God’s
good sense either, yawl young people
don’t know what good lovin is, now see
back in my day you found yourself a sweet
little philly you picked her some wild
flowers on your way by her house, you
brought her a nickels worth of rock candy
and you and her would go for a walk down
by the lake and you would hope before you
brought her back home that she would
honor you with a kiss. You do you best
talking and walking and you keep on waiting
and then she kisses you on your lips. It’s
better than fresh honey, mom’s apple pie,
and the smell of wet grass in the springtime
after a warm rain. Oowe I get goose bumps
just thinking about it, there’s nothing like it.
And if you think a bull bouncing you up and
down on his back can match that then Lord
help us.
COWBOY
Old timer I ain’t never heard you open up
like that before,
OLD TIMER
I ain’t had no reason to before but this young
lady here is special and I don’t won’t her to
get lovin and fun mixed up cause ain’t nothing
like the goose bumps you get when you’re in
that special persons arms. Now enough talk
about that, Lets get cleaned up and head on
down to the Lazy bull and see what Cliff got
cooked up for tonight!
COWBOY

bathroom with jazccui you sit in the pulsating
waters and give your muscles a work out me

COWBOY
Hey old timer me and Suede are headin

OLD TIMER

CLIFF

COWBOY GOES OUTSIDE WITH HIS BASKET READY TO GO HOME ONLY TO FIND SUEDE NOT STANDING OUT FRONT HE BEGANS TO GET NERVOUS AND STARTS TO CALL OUT HER NAME AND GO TO LOOKIN WHEN HE WALKS UP ON HER LOOKING AT RODEO STADIUM.
COWBOY
Woman don’t you scare me like that, with
all the craziness going on and you’re
nowhere to be seen dam!
SUEDE
Sorry, I was just lookin at the stadium and
thinking I just wanted to ride, I enjoy ridin,
I don’t understand why it’s such a problem
when people like to do different things and
just because their not the same people that
always do those things that it has to be wrong.
COWBOY
There is nothing wrong with you wanting
to ride, look I wanted to be a singer but
everyone told me I was a better cowboy
but in my heart I just wanted to grab a
guitar and sound off. But I listen to
everyone else but my heart. That’s
why I had my place remodeled in the
first place. I had me a special room built
on where I could ride and sing and no one
would be the wiser.
SUEDE
You can sing? I would love to hear you
some times!
COWBOY
Yes I can keep a tune but you better not tell,
THE TWO LAUGH AND GO INSIDE OF THE HOUSE WHERE COWBOY SPREADS OUT A BLANKET ON THE FLOOR AND FIRES UP THE FIREPLACE AND DIMS THE LIGHT AND THEY EAT.
SUEDE
So where is this special room you‘ve told
me about? I want to see it.
COWBOY GETS UP AND TAKES SUEDE BY THE HAND AND LEADS HER TO A ROOM UPSTAIRS IN HIS LOFT. HE BRINGS A BOTTLE OF WINE WITH HIM AND SUEDE SEES A STUDIO WITH A MECHINCAL RIDIN BULL ON ONE SIDE OF THE ROOM, A GUITAR AND AMP, A PAIR OF ROCKIN CHAIRS AND A COZY CHASE LOUNGER.
SUEDE
Cowboy it’s nice in here. If I were
you I would be up here all the time.
COWBOY
Before you came I did spend a lot of
time up here I put in a fridge and a
microwave and my chase lounger I
rarely left the room. Now that’s
enough talk let me serenade your
tired mind and body,
COWBOY BEGINS SINGING AND PLAYING HIS INSTRUMENT HE TURNS ON THE BULL AND IT ROCKS TO HIS BEAT LIKE A TIMING DEVICE. SUEDE GETS ON THE BULL AND BEGINS TO RIDE IT VERY SEDUCTIVELY COWBOY
PUTS DOWN HIS INSTRUMENT AND JOINS SUEDE ON THE BULL. HE CONTINUES TO SING WITH ONLY THE SOUND OF THE BULL ACCOMPANING HIS VOICE. THEY GET CAUGHT UP IN THE MOMENT AND MAKE HEART THRASHING LOVE. IN THE MORNING AUSTIN GOES TO WAKE UP SUEDE ONLY TO FIND HER ALREADY IN THE KICTCHEN MAKING COFFEE AND SINGING.
OLD TIMER

rest as you can cause you’ve got some
real strong competition and you just might

CLIFF FIRES THE PISTOL AND THE CONTEST BEGINS IT’S A CLOSE COMPETITION BUT OF COURSE THEY HAVE GOTTEN DOWN TO THE LAST THREE. SUEDE, PEARLIE AND GAL THE THREE ARE TIED NECK AND NECK. BUT DO THE CLOSENESS OF THE POINTS THEY CHANGE THE RIDIN ORDER INSTEAD OF SUEDE GOING FIRST THEY LET PEARLIE RIDE BUT THEY DON’T CHANGE THE RIDIN ROPES SO PEARLIE HAS SUEDE ROPE IN HER STALL. SHE’S GETTING A LAST MINUTE PEP TALK FROM LUCKY AND COWBOY IS HELPING HER DOWN AND ANDY IS PULLIN ON THE ALREADY WORN ROPE.
DUKE
Ladies and gents it’s come down to
the last three, we’ve got a close hall

And now that we are down to
the last three riders things are really
on the line cause only one can be the
winner.
DUKE
There has been a last minute change
Pearlie will ride first, then Suede,
and last Gal.
GAL AND HER CREW LOOK AT EACH OTHER
GAL
Girls I think yawl better leave just in
case, I’ll catch up with yawl later.
THE GIRLS LEAVE BUT JEWEL HANGS BEHIND JUST IN CASE GAL NEEDS SOME EXTRA HELP
COWBOY
Pearlie you ready
PEARLIE

ANDY

PEARLIE

WHEN ANDY PULLS THE ROPE IT IS HOLDING TOGETHER BY A TREAD
THE MEN OPEN THE GATE AND PEARLIE AND THE BULL TAKE OFF AND THE ROPE SNAPES, PEARLIE IS THROWN FROM THE BULL AND KNOCKED OUT THE BULL STOMPS ON HER EVERYBODY RUNS TO HER SIDE EXCEPT GAL AND HER CREW.
CLIFF
Get the Doc she not moving
COWBOY
What in the hell happen?
LUCKY
I don’t know, she was riding like
a champ and all of a sudden she
lost her grip
COWBOY
Lost her grip my ass, I’m going over
to check the holdin rope.
CLIFF, THE OLD TIMER, AND THE RODEO HANDS ALL GO OVER TO CHECK THE ROPE ON THE BULL. MEAN WHILE DOC IS TRANSPORTING PEARLIE TO THE HOSPITAL, ANDY AND SUEDE ARE GOING ALONG WITH HER IN THE AMBULANCE. DOC WARNS SUEDE THAT IF SHE LEAVES SHE FOR FITS THE RODEO AND GAL WILL WIN.
DOC
Suede if you leave you will make Gal
the automatic winner,
SUEDE
Doc I don’t care who wins, Pearlie means
more to me than this contest, and beside
she was ridin in my place, this could have
been me.
DOC
You’re right, Cliff change the ridin positions
at the last minute. Hey Cowboy yawl need
to check Suede bulls too, see if there is
something going on in her stall.
COWBOY
Got cha!
AFTER THE MEN CHECK BOTH STALLS THEY FIND OUT THAT THE ROPE HAS BEEN CUT AND THAT THERE IS ITCH POWDER ALL IN THE SECOND STALL. THE MEN CONVERSE THEY DECIDE TO BEGIN A FULL SCALE IN VESTIGATION. CLIFF INFORMS THE ANNOUNCERS THAT SINCE SUEDE LEFT THE STADIUM SHE FORFEITS HER RIDE AND LET MADE GAL THE WINNER BY DEFAULT. BUT THE OLD TIMER AND COWBOY ARENT SATISIFED THEY KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG.
CLIFF
Gal looks like you win a gain but
I believe that fowl play is at
hand and if I find out that you and
your crew had anything to do with
this you’ll be sorry.
GAL
I’m sorry what happen to night and
day but don’t blame me for their
misfortune. It’s just the better woman
won that’s all.
COWBOY
Its ashamed Gal you had to use such low
tactics to win, I thought you were better
than that.
GAL
I didn’t think you would stoop to such low
standards either I thought we had a future
together until I saw you and your night
rider riding your bull maybe you should in
vest in some blinds or shades it was discussing.
COWBOY
I don’t need shades or blinds I’m wasn’t trying
to hide anything and it seems to me you wasn’t
too discussed you stood their and watched I
hope you picked up a few tips and maybe
you’ll be able to keep your next man. I’m
through talking with you anyway I’m taking
this rope down to the station so they can check
to see if it’s been cut and Ty’s got a sample of
some of that white powder in Suede stall Old
Timer I’ll meet you at the hospital after Ty
and I do a little more investigating.
OLD TIMER
I got you boy, I’ll let you know what’s going on.
EVERYONE LEAVES THE STADIUM KEN AND DUKE GIVE RAVE GOOD BYES STATING EVEN THOUGH IT ENDED SADLY THIS YEARS RODE WAS THE BEST DAM COMPETITION EVER AND THEY CAN’T WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEARS EVENT.

everything we can for your friend.
ANDY
Doc she’s my girl and I couldn’t
bear to lose her, I’ll take her in any
shape of form she get her back to me!
THE DOC LEAVES THE ROOM
SUEDE
Oh Andy, I’m so sorry, this is all
my fault, they were trying to hurt me
not Pearlie. I should have quit. And
all of this drama would have not happen.
ANDY
Suede I won’t listen to that, Pearlie
was so glad you were here she said
you gave her a real challenge. She
said she had not rode that way since
she was a kid and she was lovin it
so if you wish you didn’t come she
would have not been so happy.
OLD TIMER
It’s like I told you missy, goose bumps,
when something feels good and it stems
from love there is no feelin like it. You
can’t change peoples’ minds or ways
people who think color miss out on what
life has to offer. I must admit when I first
saw you I said there goes the neighborhood
they’re tryin to take over ridin now but
then I got to met you. You told us your
story of how you love to ride and that
there was no bigger thrill. And then I
realized that the joy of ridin wasn’t base
on any color but the love of doing it and
if you love something than you should do
it regardless of how anyone else feels it’s
there lost if they don’t know how to enjoy it
with you. I’m glad you came because you
taught me something, the good Lord does
not issue out talent by color but he give us
talent according to love. Because you have
to love what you are doing to be good at it
and baby I’ve seen a lot of women ride bulls
but you’re dam good at it and you can take
the word of a four- time champion.
SUEDE
SHE HUGS AUSTIN

involved you can bet she behind it.
TY

the Lazy Bull that way we will have
witnesses.
COWBOY GOES TO GET GAL HE FINDS HER GLOATING OVER HER TROPHY AND BELT WITH JEWEL.
COWBOY

TY

STACY
Gal told us to stop Pearlie and Suede
from winning and to do whatever we
could to help her win.
GAL

JEWEL
