"She's the last cowboy in the world. Whole person is romance and failure"

She dabbles
in everything She gets nothing She spends her time on everything with a purpose

She sings with a band on stage She knows everyone
She owes no one she can't pay even if she owes

Her beauty doesn't
meet much Makes you want to be yourself more than just being like her

with her like being in New York
She makes you want to find your life instead of running away

-------

until then
all that she Well-organized things
start to fall apart and start to disappear

She has no other skills
to survive

in this world for a split second
Her charm suddenly becomes borderline hysteria

One can feel her impending failure
She smells The smell of rancidity

Her youth is dead All she
does is drag the rancid corpse around

------------

"I have a passion for everything
but I don't know
how to survive in this world"

- -------------

"She's the last cowboy in the world. The
whole person is romance and failure"

Mistress America quotes

  • [Last lines]

    Tracy: [narrating] Meadow had made rich fat women less fat, and rich stupid kids less stupid, and lame rich men less lame. And she wanted so badly to be on the other side... to be fat and stupid and lame and rich. But what she couldn't see most of all, more than she couldn't see that she was never going to get the restaurant, was that those people were *nothing* compared to her. They were matches to her bonfire. She was the last cowboy, all romance and failure. The world was changing, and her kind didn't have anywhere to go. Being a beacon of hope for lesser people... is a lonely business.

  • Tracy: It was clear that the thing that Meadow wanted most in the world, the thing that she wanted to define her, to give her a place to put her time and talents, her everything, the restaurant, it was clear that it will never happen. The most surprising thing was that Meadow was actually surprised by it. She could see the world with painful accuracy, but she couldn't see herself or her fate. And because I was in love with her I decided I couldn't see it either.
