EXT:  CHILDRESS, TEXAS:  RODEO ARENA:  NIGHT:  1966

In the arena WE SEE a YOUNG WOMAN dressed in the flashiest, most
costly rodeo finery, the most stylish barrel-racing clothes, on a fine,
expensive quarter horse, running the barrels.

Tips one... but it doesn't fall... she rounds the last barrel, whipping
the horse as if she's in the homestretch at the Kentucky Derby, races
out of the arena as the ANNOUNCER says:

                    ANNOUNCER
          Here she comes, ladies and gentlemen,
          look at her fly... Miss Lureen Newsome
          from right here in Childress, Texas... Oh
          boy... and her time is...
               (beat)
          ...sixteen and nine-tenths seconds.  Let's
          give her a big hand!

The words are drowned out as the crowd gives LUREEN a big hand.    [screenplay]


=comment=
I've really enjoyed these last few rounds.
:)

Lureen's long brunette tresses enhanced her groovy, jalapeno-red hat.

"U" is underdog
« Reply #12123 on: March 26, 2007, 08:46:43 am »
While Lureen may have been the hometown favorite to win, Jack is more of an underdog at the rodeo; we've only seen him lose until now.

Flattered by the attention of Lureen, Jack vanquished the competition with a fine ride on the bull.

"W" is wonderfully

Both Lureen and Jack perform wonderfully at the Childress Rodeo in 1966:

76 EXT: RCDEO ARENA: CHILDRESS, TEXAS: NIGHT (LATER STILL):

JACK is proudly carrying his bull-riding buckle and his gear to his old pickup.

A PHOTOGRAPHER yells at him.

                    PHOTOGRAPHER
          Jack...Jack...we need to get pictures of all you
          winners before anybody leaves....

77 EXT: RODEO ARENA: CHILDRESS, TEXAS: NIGHT (EVEN LATER STILL):

LUREEN perfectly coiffed, the only female among a lot of ragged cowboys, happens to stand next to JACK.

Sideways look.  Likes him.

                    PHOTOGRAPHER
          Say cheese.

JACK and LUREEN smile. Flash goes off.

                    LUREEN
          Mr. Twist, it was real nice of you to pick up my hat.
               (smiles at him)

                    JACK
               (genuinely abashed)
          No big deal. it just fell off practically in my lap.

LUREEN, direct, smiles again.
[2003 screenplay]
