Original subtitles

I'm sorry, Ms. Reese.

I'm sorry, Melissa.

But I'd like to stay.

You know, but my new job is going to pay me much more than driving your limo

did. I'm sure Milo here will do just as good a job as I did.

I'm not so sure about that.

Vittorio, you're home.

I don't suppose you'd like to go up to my apartment for a little more, you

I really should get some sleep.

I've got a lot of work to do tomorrow with the car wash getting bought out.

Thanks for the offer.

I just love being a mom.

Come on, it's always summer here.

Good morning, Mr. Takeido, please.

Melissa, Derek. Call me Melissa. Is everything okay in here?

Oh, sure, sure, sure, sure. Everything's fine. I'm just making copies of the

columns that you wanted.

They weren't there at all.

Come here.

This is a hell of a building, Miss Grace.

I know. Isn't it great? I feel so powerful.

So at home in this environment, that's what I've always dreamed about.

Sanders said he wanted to talk to us this morning.

I don't know about this guy, Melissa.

Come on, honey.

My marketing professor always said that Leon Sanders was one of the most

brilliant money -making men in the country.

It's an honor that he's buying the company from us.

I just don't trust him. I mean, every time I talk to him, he just looks right

through me.

You mean he has x -ray vision?

Cool.

I'm sure we can trust him, Sunny. Amy, you're a lawyer for this company. It's

respectable, isn't it?

Respectable, yes, but not much fun.

Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful to work here, but I sure miss running the car

wash. Are we sure this is a good thing?

I mean, I feel like I'm on another planet in here.

We're not losing the car washes. We're just growing, getting bigger.

It was fun the way it was.

This place isn't very much fun.

Don't you guys realize how good this is for us?

For us?

How do you know what we want?

What do you want, then?

I want a house, a family, a fun job.

Too late.

It's a done deal.

Good morning, girls. Glad you could all make it this far.

Good morning, Mr. Chandler.

As it turns out, I've only got a minute, so I'll be brief.

First... Let me say that we at Interglobal feel as though the bikini

a wonderful business. Amy, we're very impressed with your legal skills, as

as your business skills, Melissa, and Sonny, and Rita.

I just wanted to let you know that the legal division has reviewed the changes

that you made to the car wash contract, and everything is satisfactory.

Really? So you had no problem with any of our changes?

Not at all.

As a matter of fact, Interglobal feels that $2 million is a fair price to pay

for the company, and we'll be happy to keep you all on as executives of the

newly created car wash division.

Of course, Melissa, you'll be the president of the entire enterprise.

$2 million?

Wow, that's twice as much as $1 million.

Isn't it?

I'm really glad to hear that the deal is going through so smoothly, Mr. Sanders.

And you will allow us to retain control of the car washes like you promised?

No strings attached?

I never renege on a promise, Melissa.

You'll have plenty of control.

I signed the contract this morning.

Great. It's a deal.

Well, I've got to go.

I just wanted to let you all know that it'll be wonderful having you all

It's going to be wonderful working here, sir. Have a nice day.

What did I tell you? Is this a great company or what?

Well, you know how I feel. Oh, come on, girls. This is power. This is prestige.

It's what we always wanted.

I thought we just wanted to have fun.

Well, I always wanted rollerblades.

Everything's boring here. All these stupid rules and a dress code.

It doesn't mean we still can't have fun. Come on, girls. Let's go celebrate our

business merger.

Where? Come on. I know a place.

Ladies and gentlemen, let's see how we got going on.

Stand inside, take a ride, let your

mind get fully blown.

Yeah.

Are you okay, Derek?

Oh, yeah, yeah, sure, sure.

I was just, um... Well, gosh, you're all just so... Well, I just get a little

nervous around, um... Women?

Yeah. Oh, yeah, women and babies and cars and toys and planes and trains.

I don't want you to be afraid of me and the girls anymore, okay?

Okay. I like you, Derek.

You remind me of a good friend of mine, Jack McDowell.

He's the guy I started this business with.

Oh, really?

Well, what reminds you of him, huh?

My business sense?

No, the way your glasses fog up when you see naked breath.

Oh, uh... Are you planning on looking away for the company day? Oh, no, no,

no, no. I don't want to be a businessman.

I want to be a film director.

I'm just doing this to make money until I get my big break.

Really? How long have you been waiting for this big break?

Oh, just five years.

How?

Well, four years and ten months.

So then, as I will prove...

The purchase of the bikini car wash company will greatly increase our third

quarter profits by a substantial margin.

Miss Maxwell!

Yes, Mr. Sanders? Miss Maxwell!

Do you see my glass, Miss Maxwell?

It's empty!

What were you thinking, Miss Maxwell?

Were you thinking that I wouldn't mind if I didn't have water in my glass?

Because I do mind!

And allowing this glass to be empty is inexcusable! It's simply inexcusable!

It's a stupid...

mistake, and you should not have allowed it to happen. But I thought... I don't

pay you to think mismatch well. I pay you to cut into my every whim.

Now get me some more water!

You know something? I'm taking this glass. I'm walking out of here. I'm not

coming back.

I'm out of here. Goodbye.

I'm out of here.

There are over 20 branches of the Bikini Car Wash located throughout the

country. Each one is located in a prime real estate area.

Now... While the car washes do turn a profit under the so -called leadership

the girls who run them, our accounting department has determined that the land

itself is worth far more than the car washes.

For a mere $2 million, we're purchasing land that will easily be worth $100

million once we bulldoze it and build condominiums there.

How could you?

How could you do this to me, Mr. Sanders?

I'm simply making the changes to your company that I see fit, Miss Reese.

And it's not your position to question them.

But you promised we would be in charge of them.

Of any that are left standing, yes. I would have thought that a person such as

yourself would have appreciated the profit that we'd make off the land,

But I guess you're too fond of your pedantic little business to understand.

But that's my company you want to destroy.

The company the girls and I built from the bottom up.

It's our life's work.

Well, you have plenty of life left.

There'll be other projects.

You can't tear down the car washes. You can't put all the people I hired out of

work. I won't let you.

Listen, Melissa, we have a deal. You can either stay on at the company and play

ball, or you can quit. But you can't push me around.

You're way in over your head here.

Well, at least I have enough sense not to stand before the board of directors

with my fly open.

You want to take me on, Miss Reese?

You want to take me on? Fine.

Dig in and dress warm and prepare for a real fight.

Oh, and another thing. I don't negotiate with bimbo.

Wait up, Melissa.

Melissa, wait up.

I'm sorry, Melissa. I know that car washes mean a lot to you. What am I

do, Derek?

It was my idea to sell the company. I talked the girls into it.

Oh, my God, they're really going to hate me for this. Oh, no, no.

No one could ever hate you, Melissa.

I mean, we built the company ourselves.

We managed every outlet.

We even picked the girls who worked for us.

It's our company.

If you need any help from me, I'm willing to do it.

Stick a gun?

Alyssa, is there something wrong?

As a matter of fact, there is.

What is it?

Sanders wants to tear down the car washes and build condominiums on the

What? How can he?

I don't know.

I can't let him do it. I won't let him do it.

Oh, and so how are you going to stop him?

I don't know. I can't think in this place. This place seems so evil to me

I have to get out of here.

Let's go to the car wash.

Wow, I just got my bikini right now.

That's what I found in the glove compartment.

We'll be right back.

There's got to be a legal way out of this thing.

I just got to figure it out a little bit.

What would Jack do? I wish we could call him.

I wish he was here.

Good old Jack.

It's just like him to give up all this money and run off to the Peace Corps.

You know Jack, always helping people.

If he's not running his uncle's car wash, he takes off to Africa to help

starving people farm their land.

You know...

I just wondered about that.

I mean, if they're starving, well, shouldn't Jack be taking them to

There's gotta be a way out of this Sanders mess.

Jack isn't here to figure out what it is.

One of us is just gonna have to get Sanders to tell us.

We have to find a way out of that contract.

I'll do it.

the one that got us into this mess.

A hundred forty million bucks. God, I love being rich.

Hello, Mr. Sanders.

What are you doing in my office? On my couch like that?

Well, I felt bad about how upset I got at you today.

Besides, you're right, Mr. Sanders.

Making money is what's important.

It's always turned me on.

Hasn't money always turned you on?

Why, yes. Money, among other things.

I just thought maybe we could discuss our union.

Join forces, so to speak.

Is this what you produced yourself to, Melissa?

Trying to seduce me?

You thought what? That I'd turn to putty in your hands? Give you the company

back?

Not a chance.

I'll tell you what I will do.

I'll consider selling you back the company for ten million dollars.

But I'll knock off a million dollars for each piece of lingerie that hits my

carpet.

Well, come on, honey.

This is the way you wanted to do business, isn't it?

Hell, I'll knock the price down to two million.

All you have to do is screw me.

I don't know. I didn't really... Give me what I want or get out.

Take that off and the price is down to four million.

Give me a reason to take these off.

It's even lower.

So now the price of the company is four million dollars?

Yes, as long as it's purchased before the buyout goes through on Friday.

So if I come up with $4 million by Friday, I can buy the company out

having anything to do with it?

Exactly. $4 million.

Sure you don't want to negotiate a little more?

I'll knock off another $2 million.

All you have to do is serve me tonight.

You know what, Mr. Sanders?

I think I'll stop right here.

What?

I'm going to buy the company back from you on Friday.

Oh, you will, will you?

You just said I could.

Got it right here on tape.

Amy said it'll hold up in court just fine.

You think you can take me on, Reese?

You think you can actually make four million dollars in four days?

You're wrong.

I've done it before and I'll do it again.

No, you can't.

I'll bring you down no matter what you do.

Oh, and another thing.

You're fired.

You and all your little bimbo friends.

You hear me?

You're fired.

You got us fired?

I don't believe you.

If I were to sleep with the man, what would you have done?

Well, he's a little wrinkly, but he is kind of cute.

Four million dollars.

That kind of money.

I have a plan.

I've done some research, and I've decided that the fastest way to make the

is through television.

Television? Through mail order services.

Now, I've determined that it's possible to access the national cable channel for

an entire week, during which time we could sell for 24 hours a day.

Deduct the cost of the station.

Whoa, whoa. Hold on a minute. First question.

What are we selling?

Lingerie.

It'll be great. We'll model it ourselves.

It'll make money just like the car washes did.

Okay, second question.

What do you know about television?

Not much, but Derek here knows enough.

Me? Well, I mean, I don't know about this idea.

I'm probably not that good.

I've never really directed anything before.

Come on, Derek.

You can do this. You went to film school.

Besides, this will be that big break you always wanted.

I, um, just, uh...

Okay.

Good. Okay, now, how are we going to get ourselves on a television station?

Not just any station. That one.

Present themselves in this way, or hell's fog!

The Miracle Network?

Well, I've done a little research, and this station is perfect for our needs.

One, it has a satellite network that broadcasts nationally.

Two, it has a great location.

Three, frankly, it needs a little change in the format.

But that's my favorite station.

You know what I mean.

And startup money is no problem. We'll just liquidate our assets.

But you can't just walk into a TV station and demand to use it for the

week.

Well, I don't know about that.

like to rent your TV station for a week.

If the two of you are planning on reducing me, you're going to have to do

better than that.

I've got an idea. Come on.

No, no, no, no, no, stop.

No, no, no, no. I'm a Republican.

Now that's more like it.

We'd like to rent your TV station for a week.

Starting this week.

You want to take over my station for a week?

You've got to understand that this is a satellite network that reaches over 20

million viewers worldwide.

They depend upon us for their inspiration on a regular basis.

I don't think that that would be in their best interest.

Do you?

My friends and I are willing to pay you top dollar.

I can't be tempted, my child, for money.

All our programming...

is divinely inspired.

We just can't put on some little show here.

We're not putting on a show.

We're selling things.

That's right. It's like a telethon.

We're going to make this TV station millions of dollars.

A telethon?

Millions of dollars?

Selling what?

Then...

in mysterious ways, you could start tomorrow.

Whoa.

No, no, no. I can't see. Yes, this is it.

Oh.

Okay, okay.

This is great.

Check this camera.

Hey,

hey. Keep your hands off the camera.

It's big. It's big. It's big.

It's big. It's big. It's big. It's big.

You know, Play -Play, this is not a toy. Well, I know that.

Hey girl, want to tantalize your boyfriend?

Guys, want to buy something for your girl that's a present for you as well?

For a limited time only, this incredibly erotic lingerie is yours.

All you have to do is call the number on the screen.

Who says underwear can't be fun? Order now.

This is really stupid.

Killed him!

Never gonna miss it.

Look at them.

Idiots. Look what they've reduced themselves to.

Doing some kind of panty dance on TV.

This'll never work.

Who'd even be motivated to buy anything from this channel?

Who'd even want to watch this garbage?

Okay, people, okay, people, back them up.

A wrap?

Right, right, right, right, that's a wrap.

A wrap?

Really? Yeah. We get to sing, too?

What?

Everyone, take five. Oh, and guys, guys, rerun all the stuff we shot earlier

today, all right? How's things going?

Not too good.

No, no, oh, damn it.

Damn, damn, damn, this is my fault. I tried so hard.

I wish I just had a good enough director.

I'm never going to know it unless you tell him.

Actually, the problem isn't you, Derek.

It's the format. We just don't seem to be stimulating people at home the same

way we do in person.

It's just not going to work this way. We're not going to make any money if we

keep going on like this.

And you could stand to be just a little less rigid in your directing.

Well, how so?

Well, you just need to put some emotion into it.

Just think of the song you're making as something you just don't really care

about. Mm -hmm.

There's some originality.

Surprise me. Yeah.

Excite the audience.

Oh. And the life.

Okay.

Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm.

Mm -hmm.

Mm -hmm.

Mm

-hmm.

When it fails, Melissa, you always go for the goofy ones.

And you always go for the stuffy lawyer types.

Oh, damn it, Amy. What are we doing wrong here?

I just don't get it.

We've got the girls. We've got the looks.

Why aren't we making any money?

Well, it's like you said. We're just not as tempting on TV as in real life.

If TV's diluting our appeal, maybe we just need to put out a stronger message.

What will it feel to every man and woman in the country?

Good

morning,

Cindy. How's it going?

Great, Melissa.

You know, I've been implementing some of my own ideas here.

And the car wash has made more money than usual.

Is that so?

Well, yeah. For example, we've been doing hand wash house calls for $200 a

piece. You wouldn't believe how many sex crazed old men there are in this world.

Well, I'm not so sure about that.

Anyhow, one day I'm going to own my own chain of car washes just like you,

Melissa.

And it's going to be... Speaking of owning your own car washes, Cindy, the

are having a little trouble with the company.

Trouble with the company?

Is that bad?

Bad?

It's not bad. We just have to earn $4 million by Friday. That's all.

$4 million?

Don't worry, Cindy.

I have a plan.

Oh, and when you have a plan, it always makes money.

Well, let's hope so.

Anyway, the girls and I really need you. Can you do it? You've got it.

Great.

You know, you and the girls really remind me of us when we used to work

Really?

Actually, the place hasn't changed a bit.

Do the two of you got the scripts written?

We've got a couple.

At least a couple.

We have one.

One?

Well, we're business women, not writers.

Besides, we thought everybody could just sort of, you know, ad lib.

Okay.

Where's Rita?

I don't know.

She was here just a minute ago.

Rita!

It's time to work.

Yes, Melissa, I'm ready to work.

Yeah, well, you better put some clothes on first.

Oh, my gosh.

I thought it was sort of cold in here.

Not too many clothes, though, Rita.

So you ready to shoot today, Derek? Me?

Oh, yeah, sure, sure. I'm as ready as I'll ever be, you know?

Not nervous in this light. It's mostly blood, yes.

Look out on me.

Okay. Now, Derek. What? Calm down.

Okay. Remember, just choose your emotions.

Take something you feel very strongly about.

Okay.

Okay.

Come on, people. We've got to make some serious money today.

Okay, everyone. Let's back to work.

Tech men.

Tech men, take your positions.

Lights!

Cameras!

Action!

Is your marriage missing

romance? Is this what your home life is like?

Hi, honey. I'm home.

Big deal.

How was your day today?

Not so good. I ran over the boss's dog.

I would do something a little special tonight, honey.

Maybe go out to dinner, catch a movie, or have wild, passionate sex with Power

Tool. Actually, I thought I'd drink some beer, watch some football, and fall

asleep on the sofa.

See you later, honey.

Well, looks like it's you and me again tonight, Mr. Happy.

Mr. Happy?

Who wrote that?

Shh, be quiet.

You're on.

Well, you no longer have to worry about nights like this anymore.

Now you can rejuvenate your love life and your marriage with just one easy

call. Just watch.

Hello? 1 -800 -EROTICA?

Hi, honey. I'm home.

Hello, sweetheart.

Have I got a...

That's our special new lingerie order. You can just simply pick up the phone.

Come on, get out of the way.

What a lovely day for a drive in the country.

The only thing that would make this day better would be to meet a tall, dark,

handsome man.

Oh my god, it's the police!

Do you have any idea how fast you were going, ma 'am?

I don't know.

I'm a pretty fast woman.

Ma 'am, if you're trying to seduce me, it won't work.

I bet some of the most beautiful women in the world thought of seducing me to

get out of Sydney, Phoenix.

Not one of the three.

They weren't wearing a super seductive special from Fantasy Lingerie.

Available for only $89 .99.

Order now.

Yes, that's my size. I'd like 500 pairs of lingerie, please. French cut.

Fill it to Interglobal Industries.

That's it, Simpkins! You're fired!

I think we're in a sticky situation, yeah.

And I'm the good boy.

Baby, I've been married.

I didn't pick you up on the side of the road.

Don't you call me no praise.

Rock me to the bone, baby. If the night is getting long, let's rock in a hard

place.

And I'm saved by your disgrace.

Honey, it's written all on your face. Let's rock.

Whoa, yeah.

a field trip.

Hello, Sonny.

Listen, can we talk for a minute, please?

I have nothing nice to say to you, Mr. Sanders.

I admire your spot.

I've always admired you, Sonny.

As a matter of fact, I always thought that your assets were the true reason

the success of the Bikini Car Wash Company.

Oh, really?

Of course.

Melissa never wanted to give you any of the credit.

She always claimed everything was her idea.

The, uh, topless convertible hand wash, for example.

You took credit for that?

Well, that was my idea.

I know that.

But she didn't want to give you any credit.

You're wasting your talents here, Sonny.

You could be a very wealthy woman.

But Melissa's going to drag you down with this silly lingerie endeavor.

It's just a trifle of what you could have if you played for the right team,

Sonny.

Well, just because I'm in here with you doesn't mean we have a deal or anything.

Melissa and Amy and Rita are my best friends.

I wouldn't want to sell them out.

I'll buy you a house.

What do you want me to do?

Was sex education like this when you were in school?

Now remember, class, that the sound...

don't you wish it could be more like this today class we are going to study

fetishes and i will show you

Your mama told me, get the hell off the phone. Ain't no calling around here no

more.

Look, 16, act 21, gone flinging out my back door.

Lakes like hair and high heels too.

And wild like a hurricane.

And everybody wonders what happened to you.

And honey, if you can't explain.

Say it all to me. I'm the one that really won't. Say it all to me. You can

a mind of wild.

Just rested.

Didn't sell out to a corporation for a little two -story ranch house or

anything.

Well done.

Good. Send him right in.

Hello, James.

Hello, Mr. Sanders. You wanted to see me.

I just thought you'd like to see what they're televising on national TV.

where they're televising this from.

Is that so?

Well, they have to be shut down immediately.

Sometimes late at night, I lie awake and

think of you.

Sometimes the thoughts, they're strong to define when I think of all

that we've been through.

And I just want to hold you and make you feel.

Stand And where it is We're going to

But you've shown me Just who I am I'll

lift you up And see you through I just wanna

Which would you rather your life be like?

This?

More canned fruit cocktail and heavy syrup, honey?

Yes, dear.

Or this?

I'd like more canned fruit cocktail and heavy syrup.

Okay, that's a wrap.

Becky, run the stuff we shot earlier this morning.

Good job, everybody.

Take a break and come back in an hour.

Do we have to?

Eddie and I, we want to practice our lines some more.

Oh, sure, sure. You can practice if you need to.

Hey, I need to practice my lines, too.

Hey, don't worry, Rita. I'll practice your lines with you. You will?

Yeah, come on. All right. Great play.

How's the business going?

Pretty good. We're making money. We're going to have to keep up this pace if

we're going to make it all. At this pace? You're kidding.

We can't go all day and all night.

I mean, the cameramen are tired and the actors are surely worn out.

Then we're going to have to find a new way to stimulate people even more.

All right. I'll work on it.

That's right. I think I'll do it.

It's still a little stiff, though.

It is.

Well,

it's still a little stiff.

You just look a little unsure of yourself out there.

You look like you're afraid to tell people what to do.

Well, I am afraid to tell people what to do.

Well, you shouldn't be. You're very talented.

Do you think so, Melissa?

Yes, I do.

You just need to relax.

You just need to relieve some of that stress you feel from this job.

Well, like what?

Come on. I'll show you.

Derek, I want you to know I really appreciate everything you're doing for

taking your time and energy to help us out and everything? Oh, no, no, don't

mention it. I mean, you're helping me out, too.

It's the first thing I've been able to direct in film school.

The thing is, your commitment and your honesty is very impressive.

Something I used to admire in someone as... Well, it's something I admire in

people. Well, I find you a perfect human, so... You know, I mean, in fact,

Whenever I'm around you, well, I just, uh...

I, um...

My

God! More smut right here on the street!

Excuse me.

I suppose the two of you are connected with this lingerie business?

Yeah, I'm the director. What can I do for you? The director?

You have the gall to admit that right to my face?

That you're a pervy or smut like this?

Well, I don't consider it a smut per se. Well, I do, buddy. The name's Marshall.

James Marshall from the FCA, Federal Communications Administration. Wow, that

looks official.

I suppose the two of you don't realize it's illegal to put pornography on

national television?

Pornography? What we're doing here isn't pornography.

It's simply advertising. I saw bodies gyrating.

That's not sex. We're just simulating sex.

And simulating sex is legal.

It's on network TV, cable.

Save your speeches for the grand jury, lady. The fact is, you failed a file

the FCA, allowing you the right to put this bill on television.

A right which would have been denied you anyhow.

Now, if you'll just point me out to your attorney, I'll hand over the closure

papers to him.

Her. Excuse me?

Her. Our attorney's a she, not a he.

In fact, here she comes right now.

Hey,

guys.

I'm glad I caught you before you started anything.

Look, I know it's only 15 minutes into lunch, but the cast and crew really want

to get started shooting again, so... My God, more schmuck.

I guess I arrived just in time, didn't I?

Who are you?

James Marshall, Federal Communications Administration, ma 'am.

Federal? You work for the government in politics?

Sort of.

I mean, I meet with politicians all the time. I love politics.

I mean, I'm only a lawyer right now, but I really want to get involved in the

running of the country sometime soon.

Yes, well, I... No, no, no, no, no, no. It is my sworn duty as a fully deputized

agent of the FDA to issue these papers demanding the immediate closure of your

operation, ma 'am.

Now, if you'll just come with me, I have to go and shut this operation down.

Please, Mr. Marshall, you can't do this. We need the money.

I can think of plenty of legitimate ways to earn money in this world, Miss

Reese.

It's kind of partial to bake salesmen, though.

Now, if you two will just stay put out here, I won't have to arrest you.

If you try to interfere, I'll have no choice but to have the police come down

here and lock you up.

Understand? Can you get me one of those bags or something?

You're my lawyer. Go do something.

I think you're making big mistakes. I am making no mistakes, Miss... Winslow.

Yes, Miss... Amy Winslow. Yes, Miss Winslow. There's smut being portrayed on

these airwaves, and it's my duty as a fully deputized agent of the law to shut

this operation down.

Well, sir, I believe that depends on your definition of smut.

There's been no nudity broadcast on this station at all, or at least not on

purpose. However, when this very same station aired the Adam and Eve...

story last year, they showed full frontal nudity.

Now, the FCA didn't try to shut them down then.

Is that so?

Yes.

Anyhow, it's my belief that before you just waltz in here and shut this station

down, that you allow me to respond to the numerous allegations you have

us. I'm sure that I could explain everything.

What was that?

We need to talk.

It's my turn to do a scene.

No, it's my turn. You just did a scene. The one with the naughty bicycle

repairman. Well, you just did the scene with the lion tamer. All right. And the

scene with the pizza.

Hey, Rita, you're up for the next scene. Okay, which guy's supposed to do the

next scene?

There are several indications here that the studio is unsafe.

How do you respond to those?

What's it like working for the government, Jim?

Is it exciting? Do you feel the thrill of legal work coursing through your

every day?

Well, of course I do. It's what I live for. Oh, God, I envy you. Well, thanks.

But these infractions now, I understand with the haphazard way things are being

run around here that there are potential health threats in the studio. Is this

true?

I suppose so, but we're practicing safe sex.

So it shouldn't be a problem.

Gosh, Melissa's been there a long time.

I hope everything's okay.

Don't worry about it, Melissa.

I'm sure everything's running like clockwork.

Hey, what are you girls supposed to be on right now?

We're supposed to be doing a two -girl fantasy scene with one of the guys.

But Freddy, Eddie, and Milo are all exhausted.

There's no guys left.

I'll do it.

You're the props man. You can't do this.

Don't worry. I got it all under control.

Two -girl fantasy scene, huh?

I can handle it.

Okay, let's keep the cameras rolling.

Look at this. Two girls in my bed waiting for me in fantastic lingerie.

What a dream come true.

All right.

Marshall's been in there too long, Derek. Something must have happened to

Well, what about the others?

I just can't sit here any longer. I've got to go find out what's going on in

there.

What is going on in here?

Well, we had to change the format a little.

I guess.

What are they doing?

Nothing abnormal, Josh. They're enjoying themselves.

Besides, we ran out of guys.

What?

We only had a few to begin with, and between acting out the scenarios and

looking at the cameras, they all got exhausted.

We ain't more men, huh?

Don't you say so.

Whoa.

I'm Melissa Reese, owner of Fantasy Lingerie. And as you know, there's only

few days left in our sales event.

But we've still got plenty of lingerie to sell.

However, a few of our male models have gotten, well, a little exhausted from

their efforts here.

Therefore, I'm here to announce a once -in -a -lifetime opportunity.

Man, this is going to send our sales through the roof.

Every thousandth lingerie order will be allowed to come down here to Lingerie

Central to enact your own fantasy.

Right here on our stage with whichever model you choose.

So remember, that's every thousandth piece of lingerie ordered. So if you

a thousand pieces, you win automatically.

That's crazy.

I can't believe she just did that.

It's more than crazy. It's brilliant.

I've got an order for a thousand pieces of lingerie. I've got an order for 15

,000.

We're going to need more funds.

No, I won't go out with you.

taking you so long to shut down that station.

Do you like the U .S. Constitution?

I love the Constitution.

I think it's one of the greatest legal documents of all time.

How about the Gettysburg Address?

I love the Gettysburg Address.

Yeah, well, I'll show you.

I'm so sick of it.

Oh, hey.

Oh, hey, hey.

Careful.

How about a meat whistle?

Spence, huh?

You scared me. I'm sorry. That's why you came in. I just thought I'd see what

you were up to. Mind if I take a look?

It's private.

How could you do this?

Why would you do this to me, to our dreams?

Because they're not our dreams, Melissa.

They're your dreams.

You're the one that wants to make all this money, get even with Sanders, and

everything.

I just want security. I want a steady job, income.

The security that would have stayed with us if you hadn't gotten us fired from

Interglobal. So this is how you go about getting it?

By turning on your friends by destroying us? You turned your back on us first.

Turn on you?

What have I ever done to you, you ungrateful little bimbo? You told

that topless hand wash was your idea.

What are you talking about?

I told him it was your idea from Farran Square.

You did?

Some of us actually have some morals where friends are concerned.

Now, if you don't mind, you can just get out of my sight and not ever come

around me ever again.

We are through, Sunny. We are through.

that we're sewing is filthy?

Well, I'll get some soap and water and I'll go clean it up right away, okay?

Oh, hey, Rita. How you doing? What are you doing with that? Oh!

But we'll have to shut down for a day.

Come on, let's turn the sprinklers on.

Wait.

Look at me.

I'm sorry.

I made a mistake.

I got scared and I just saw my dress go up in smoke too.

I'm sorry.

Sometimes I just get so wrapped up in my own ideas I just forget about everyone

else.

Guess I blew it this time, huh?

Even if we do get the station back on the air, with the Sanders on our back,

we'll never make the money.

Actually, I think I know a way we can get him out of our hair.

I'm just going to send one more little fax.

That is, if you still want me on your side.

Of course I do.

I wouldn't let money go between us.

You mean too much to me.

You mean a lot to me, too, Melissa.

All right, Marsh.

Way to go. Way to shut him down.

Let's see you try and buy your company back now, Miss Reese.

How's it look?

Oh, not very good.

I mean, there's just been a lot of damage, and it's going to take time and

to replace it all.

How long?

Well, a day maybe?

But we don't have much time left.

We still have to earn over a million dollars and pay for the equipment.

There's no way. We'll never make it.

I'm sorry, guys. I'll let you down.

No, no, no, no, no, no. It's not over. No, no. We're not finished here. It's

over. No, we're not finished here.

Come on, everybody.

Hey, wait. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Where are you going?

No, where are you going?

You're not quitting, are you?

No, no.

We're not done here.

If I know you people, I know one thing. You're not quitters.

You built a national business from one car wash, Melissa.

Quitters don't do that.

I mean, and we've almost earned $4 million in what week?

Well, I can tell you quitters don't do that either.

But now,

well, now we are just so close.

We just have a few more dollars to earn. You want to quit because of some minor

damage to the studio?

I used to believe it.

And I'll tell you all something right here and now.

I'm not quitting.

That's right.

I'll stay here and rebuild this studio myself if I have to. And then when I'm

done,

well, I'll get back to work and I'll earn the rest of that money.

Even if it's just for the satisfaction of seeing a look on Sanders' face when

he's handed a check for $4 million.

So, are you with me or not?

I couldn't have done it without you, Melissa.

Love is not enough.

You play the game, I call your love.

Love.

Hi. Hey.

What's going on?

Is there another emergency?

No, don't worry. Rita hasn't gone anywhere near the equipment.

Oh, God, what time is it?

I didn't mean to sleep so long. I should get back to work.

No.

You don't have to do anything.

I've done more than enough for us already, Derek.

Besides, you haven't slept in almost a day.

Don't worry about anything.

Cindy's got everything under control.

Well, then why are you here?

To thank you.

We couldn't have done this without you, Derek.

It was my pleasure. I mean... I did it for you,

Melissa.

I'd do anything for you.

So, how are we doing on the money? Are we going to make the $4 million we need?

To be honest, I really don't know.

Damn, you know, we just worked so hard.

I mean, if I just had more time, I'd just... Derek,

there are more important things than money.

The important thing isn't that we did this to make money.

It's that we got to know each other when we did it.

And now, I want to show you how I really feel about you.

It was 4 a .m.

when I got the news.

You said that you were all right when I asked about you.

You said it was a girl, quite a lot like me.

Now I know we did the right thing.

through our lives still

Looking back when I was just a kid.

The web talked up and grew my hair.

The crazy things I did.

But now the times are changing.

Take us by surprise.

thinking god why me now i know we did the right

Well, Mr. Cameron, it seems like we have a full house for the meeting today.

Everything should go well. The girls should be here any minute.

Mr. Sanders, Melissa Reese and her company are here to see you.

Send them in, please.

Good morning, Miss Reese.

Good morning, all.

I guess some introductions are in order.

Mr. Nakasan is in from our Japanese office where he's just closed our buyout

Iku Electronics.

Mr. Tanner is here from our legal offices in Chicago to oversee today's

transactions. Mr. Rajiv is head of finance in from Nairobi. Mr. Bako from

Zimbabwe. And Mr. Goldstein is joining us from our Israeli offices.

And, of course, you all should be familiar with our chairman of the board.

Gentlemen, these are the girls that are selling us the car wash company.

Derek, what are you doing with these ladies?

They're my friends, Sanders.

In fact, I'd rather be working with these ladies than some insensitive,

old codger like you.

Is that so, Derek?

Well, I hope you realize that these women have no job to offer you, as I'm

aware that your little television endeavor failed to produce the necessary

to buy the company back from me.

Now then, if you ladies don't mind, I've prepared the final papers for the

purchase of the car wash company.

Of course, I've had them altered a little since we last talked.

You'll still get the money, but you'll no longer have positions at this company

after the sale.

Seemed only reasonable under the circumstances.

You can't do that. We have a binding oral agreement.

It's all right, Amy. We don't want to work for this nasty old man and scummy

company anyhow.

Well, the feeling's mutual, I assure you.

Now, if you'll just sign the papers, I'd like to get started bulldozing those

car washes and raising condominiums today.

I don't think so.

Here you go, Mr.

Sanders. Four million dollars, just like you requested.

I guess I own the car washes again.

What? You must be crazy. I'd never make a deal like that.

But you did, Sanders.

We have an audio tape of your oral agreement with Melissa, and I took the

liberty of ensuring that your legal department included in these documents

they typed them this morning.

You see, it's all in here.

And this contract is legal and binding.

You get your money, we get the car wash.

But I thought, uh, I shut that station down. This can't possibly be legal.

It is legal, Sanders.

And somehow you caused it to happen, you fool.

But, Mr. Chairman, there must be some mistake. These women couldn't possibly

have raised $4 million in four days.

Apparently they did, Sanders.

And I contributed to their efforts myself.

I bought the wife a neat pair of skivvies.

Rekindle the old romance for the first time in a decade.

But still, sir, I didn't... What happened, Sanders, is you seriously

underestimated the worth of these women.

First, you tried to shut down their profitable operation.

Then you fired them so you could build condos.

And to tear down a car wash to build them.

It's no wonder I can't find a damn place to get my car washed in this town.

We'd be happy to have your business, Mr. Chairman, as soon as we get the company

back on its feet again.

You got it.

In fact, why don't you girls keep the money?

It's not as if we actually purchased the company in the first place.

Oh, my God!

Mr. Chairman, you can't do this. It's an outrage.

Personally, Sanders, I don't care what you think.

Your handling of this whole situation has been cruel and thoughtless.

That's not what I want Interglobal to represent.

Fire. Fire?

Well, McRee, you've got your company back now. So what are your plans?

Well, I think I'm going to go back and work at the car wash for a while.

I really miss it.

And I can stay in good touch with my employees there.

So what are you going to do?

I think I'll ask for my old job back.

No.

Eric, this letter just came for you. Oh, thank you.

Let's see what I've got here.

Oh.

My God.

It's from national television.

They want me to direct a documentary.

A documentary on what?

The history of the car wash.

Young boys on the streets tonight, got a burning in his heart.

Mama sits alone all night, now that the party's started.

See, after night, there's a full moonlight, and you see the kids, and you

yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You're totally right, it'll be all right. You're up all night, and you say,

yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah,

yeah, yeah.
