The first half is a flashback to the narrative.
It narrates the encounters of the protagonist and his lover being ravaged by a group of gangsters when they are lingering.

The latter part is rather bland.

In a person who sympathizes with his own experience and abandons himself, there is still the purest part of human nature.


There is a mutual life that is more tragic than myself. I have nothing left, and you have the tiniest of beautiful wishes. Realize it, and life may be better.


When you sleep by my side forever.
I hold you in my arms and squeeze your shoulders.
There was helplessness in my eyes.

You are still by my side,
let's go to that sunny place together and start a new life.

Midnight Cowboy quotes

  • Joe Buck: I like the way I look. Makes me feel good, it does. And women like me, goddammit. Hell, the only one thing I ever been good for is lovin'. Women go crazy for me, that's a really true fact! Ratso, hell! Crazy Annie they had to send her away!

    Ratso Rizzo: Then, how come you ain't scored once the whole time you been in New York?

  • [At the gravesite of his father]

    Ratso Rizzo: He was even dumber than you. He couldn't even write his own name. "X," that's what it ought to say on that goddamn headstone, one big lousy "X". Just like our dump. Condemned by order of City Hall.
