    1) The speaker recalls wishing the person they were talking to, Cavale, had been around when they were younger to protect them from being given "crap" by others. 2) The speaker describes being in a school play of "The Ugly Duckling" but not getting to be the swan at the end, instead having to kneel while a pretty blonde girl rose up as the swan. 3) After the play, all the parents talked about how pretty the other girl looked as the swan, which made the speaker cry in their hideout wishing Cavale had been there to protect them.

    Cowboy Mouth

    Sam Shepard
    CAVALE: Youre so neat. Youre such a neat guy. I wish I woulda known you when I was little. Not real
    little. But at the age when you start finding out stuff. When I was cracking rocks apart and looking at their
    sparkles inside. I bet you wouldve protected me. People were always giving me crap. Ya know what? Once
    I was in a play. I was real glad I was in a play cause I thought they were just for pretty people and I had my
    dumb eyepatch and those metal plate shoes to correct my duck foot. It was The Ugly Duckling and I
    really dug that cause of the happy ending. And I got to be the ugly duckling and I had to wear some old
    tattered black cloth and get crap flung at me but I didnt mind cause the end Id be that pretty swan and all.
    But you know what they did? At the end of the play I had to kneel on the stage and cover my head with a
    black shawl and this real pretty blonde haired girl dressed in a white ballet dress rose up behind me as the
    swan. It was really crappy, man. I never got to be the swan. I paid all the dues and up rose ballerina Cathy
    like the North Star. And afterwards all the parents could talk about was how pretty she looked. Boy, I ran to
    my hideout and cried and cried. The lousy jerks. I wish you were around then. I bet you wouldve protected
    me.
