I can't believe it's gonna happen.

My own brother getting married!

I can afford to go into debt.

Still going out with Joni?

- Nah, they're waiting around here for us somewhere.

You'll see.

- Hey, you see that?

If you can call that waiting.

- Yeah.

- I don't believe this.

You guys wait here, I'll be right back.

- No way, I ain't waiting.

- Hey, hey, let's go find Lucille and Debbie.

- Over here, Miss.

- Thanks. - Here you go.

- [Harlow] Can I help you with something?

- No, thanks.

I just screwed up my first bikini contest, that's all.

- That's too bad, but you're sitting in my chair.

- I'm sorry, I didn't even realize.

- No, no, no.

I can put on makeup standing in a men's room

surrounded by six sailors and two rumba bulls.

And believe me, I have.

How'd you like it up there?

- Oh, it was definitely fun.

I just wish I could have made it to the end.

- First time's always the toughest.

That's when you get the bug.

- What bug?

- Being on stage, getting all that attention.

Ever think of dancing?

- Who, me?

You've got to be kidding.

- You've got the looks, that's all.

Anyway, that's what I do.

I just enter these contests to pick up a few extra bucks.

- What kind of dancing do you do?

- Exotic dancing.

You know, strip tease, jazz, new wave, the works.

- Doesn't it ever get to you?

All those men always hooting and whistling?

- Only when I'm sleeping.

- Are the girls from the bikini contest in here?

- Yeah.

- You think I can get in there?

- No.

- I can't get in there? - No.

- I gotta get in there. - Hey, no, I said no.

- Come on, man. - No, I said.

Come on, no! - All right, okay.

Okay, all right?

Good. - Hey, come on, hey!

- [Frank] There you are.

- Hi, Frank, you just missed my stage debut.

- Yeah, what the hell's this contest?

What got into you?

- I don't know, it just sort of happened.

Plus, it was a good way to kill time

till you showed up, right?

- You're too much, you really are.

Come on, you got your stuff?

- Right here.

- Vinny and Lumpy are waiting for for us in the truck.

- By the way, where do you work?

- Club on Sixth, just off of Main.

It's called Kandyland.

- See you later, woo!

- Hi everybody, that was a close one.

Yes, that really, yeah.

We have a winner, and the winner is, yeah, yeah, I know.

Miss Powell!

Ooh, ow!

- [Frank] Come on, Joni!

Let's go, let's move it!

- Frank, I can't find my other sock!

When you come in here,

can you help me clean up this room a little bit?

- Leave it, I'll do it later.

- Shorts.

T-shirts.

Jock straps, one, two.

This is unbelievable, three.

Ow!

- [Speaker] I mean, I shouldn't have asked you anyway.

- Hey, Joni, what's all that banging?

- What banging?

- [Speaker] I don't even know what you're expressing.

I mean, I'm not even sure what it is.

- What is going on in here?

- I still can't find my other sock.

- Yeah?

Well, don't worry about it

because you're gonna find it later.

- Later, later, everything is later.

- [Frank] What do you want on your sandwich?

- Any tuna left?

- No, but we got some bologna.

I think we got some bologna.

Joni.

Bologna, Joni?

- Yeah, put a lot of mustard on it.

- Coming right up.

♪ I know you want it badly but don't lose your heart ♪

- We never did go out.

You realize that, don't you?

♪ I know you need it badly but

- You complaining, huh?

- No.

- [Customer] And it was perfect when I brought it in.

- [Mrs. Pruitt] You must be seeing things, Mister.

You ought to have your eyes examined.

- [Customer] Oh really?

Well, what do you call this stain, huh?

- [Mrs. Pruitt] That's not a stain, it's a burn!

- Well, I don't care what you call it.

Look, you did it.

Now I want it fixed or replaced.

- Mister, if it was our fault, we'd be more than happy.

Where the hell do you think you're going?

- I'm going to lunch, Mrs. Pruitt.

It's 1230.

- Not right now, you're not.

Get back behind that machine and work on this jacket.

So I can get rid of this asshole.

- I beg your pardon?

- And be quick about it.

We've got a big load of diapers coming in tonight,

and I need you to work late.

I want you here extra early tomorrow morning

for those bedsheets from the hospital.

- Yes, ma'am.

Oh, Mrs. Pruitt? - Yeah.

- Do you think you can give me a ride home?

My boyfriend's out with the truck tonight.

- Don't be silly.

There's a bus stop just around the corner.

I'm late for my beauty shop appointment.

- Save your money, Mrs. Pruitt!

It's a lost cause!

Come on, Frank.

Pick up the phone.

- Kandyland.

- Wait, your ID.

- Whoa, let's hear it for Miss Scarlett Lamar.

A little French kiss right here at Kandyland.

One of our favorites, yes siree.

Well, I gotta tell you guys something.

You know, it doesn't seem to matter where I go.

And believe me, Kandyland is no exception.

I'm always asked one question more than anything else.

People always say, Mad Dog, how do birds make love?

And what I do is I illustrate it for them.

I say, "Hey, look.

"I got a picture here of a male and a female quail.

"And this is a way that birds make love."

All this talk about the economy, it's got so low.

- Rum and Coke.

- Thank you.

- This makes a great octopus jock.

Well, I think it's time to bring on the star

of our show, huh, huh?

- Yeah! - Okay, huh?

- Yeah! - Huh?

- Yeah! - Oh, huh?

Okay!

Well, just three months ago, she was passing through town.

She's made Kandyland her home.

And by gosh, we're all lucky for that.

Let's have a nice round of applause for Miss Harlow Divine!

Shh!

- Frank?

- Hmm.

- Do you think that we'll ever get married?

- Sure we will.

Soon as we're ready.

- I think I'm ready.

I wanna be your wife.

- You wanna be my wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa.

- Come on. - Wa, wa, wa!

- Be serious.

- Wife.

- Very good.

- Oh, let's not rush things, okay?

We're young yet.

We still got plenty of time.

Just relax.

- You scared?

- Don't be ridiculous.

What's there to be scared about, Joni?

Me, scared?

- Are you?

- Yeah, a little.

- I guess I am too, a little.

But a ring would be nice.

- Mm-hmm.

- You're late, Joni, I won't stand for it.

- I'm sorry, Mrs. Pruitt.

It won't happen again.

- Fine, but I'm docking you an hour's wages.

- But I'm only 10 minutes late.

- That's 10 minutes too many.

Now get behind that sewing machine!

The work's piling up!

Look alive, look alive!

I don't pay you so you can crew around back here, move it!

Move it, move it, move it!

- Excuse me, Mrs. Pruitt.

- What do you want?

- I don't like the way that you talk to me.

- Oh, that's too bad.

Now get back to work or you're out of a job.

- I don't think you understand.

- We'll discuss this on your time, Joni.

Not mine.

- This is my time, Mrs. Pruitt.

I quit.

- Quit, you can't quit.

You've got work to do!

You'll be sorry for this!

This was the best job you ever had!

You're going no where, lady, you hear me?

No where!

- Oh, hey babe?

What's up?

- Hi, I'm looking for a friend of mine.

- I can be that.

- No, it's a she.

She's a dancer, her name is Harlow.

I really appreciate you letting me come in.

- You gotta understand, anytime before noon

is like the middle of the night for me.

So what's on your mind?

- Well, I want to take you up on your offer.

- What offer was that?

- About dancing, exotic dancing?

- Oh boy, listen.

I said you had the looks, that's all.

This isn't something you just stand up and you do.

It's an art.

It takes commitment.

- Well, I'll work with you anytime that you want.

- Why me?

- Because I saw your act, and you really, you're the best.

- Want a cup of coffee?

- Thank you, yes.

- No way, Joni.

Forget it!

- It's not what you think, Frank.

You're not even listening to me.

- You wanna dance in a topless bar, I heard enough.

- Have you ever been to Kandyland?

- No, but I've been to millions just like it.

Millions just like it.

- You never told me that.

- Well, just once.

Oh, okay, maybe twice, Vinny took me.

Look, horny guys go there.

They pay money at these bars to see some skin,

and then they go home at night.

- This place is not sleazy at all, you've got it all wrong.

The show is beautiful and the dancing is incredible.

- You call that dancing?

- [Joni] You betcha.

- Like a night at the ballet, right?

Give me a break!

- Come on now, you're not being fair.

- Ever since you met that woman, Harlow, I don't know.

It's like you're different.

- In what way?

- You've changed, look at you.

Your makeup, your clothes, your everything.

- I made this dress myself.

Don't you think it's pretty?

- Yeah, sure it is.

What there is of it.

Look, what do you wanna go turn your life upside down for?

- I don't.

I wanna turn it right side up, and this could be it for me.

- Okay, all right then.

Go ahead, give it a shot.

- Thanks, Frankie.

I swear I'll make you so proud of me.

- Yeah, sure.

I can't wait.

I don't like this, Joni.

- Hey, Frank! - Yeah.

- Check that blue station wagon out front when you're done.

- What's the problem?

- Sounds like the gears are grinding.

- And bumpy too.

Boom, ba, ba, ba, boom!

Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba.

What's the matter, Frank?

Losing your sense of humor?

- Yeah, maybe I am.

Maybe I am.

- Check these out.

None of the other girls are doing it.

- I don't think I can get into these, let alone get out.

- I'll show you when the time comes.

- This is real pretty.

- That old thing.

- I could do a lot with it, fix it up.

- Try it on, maybe it'll bring you luck.

I wore it the first time I danced.

- Thanks.

Where'd these come from?

- New York City.

I went there to study ballet.

I used to have this dream back then.

I wanted to be a ballerina.

I wanted to dance Swan Lake.

I lived and breathed to play Queen of the Swans.

Silly, no?

- [Joni] Did you ever get to do it?

- No.

Instead, I met an agent, said he'd make me a star.

He did all right.

Before I knew it, I traded Lincoln Center

for top billing at the Joker Club.

Hell, it's an honest living.

- Any regrets?

- Not a one.

- You know what, that looks really good.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

Just kidding.

Well, are we ready for her?

- Bebe Benlap.

- Belnap, Belnap.

- I remember you.

You used to blow your nose without a handkerchief.

- Yeah, yeah, that was me.

See that, huh?

Some things do change.

In fact, I'm working for my dad right now making good money.

Maybe I could buy you a drink.

- Oh, no thanks.

I'm already meeting someone here, somewhere.

- Yeah?

I was thinking after the show,

maybe you and me could get together

and do a little partying?

I could make it worth your while,

if you know what I mean.

- Listen, Benlap, Belnap, whatever your name is.

You were a creep then, and you're a creep now.

- Joni.

- Frank, there you are.

- Don't say a word, just follow me.

- Now who's this guy, huh?

- It's none of your fucking business.

- Yeah, listen, buddy.

Maybe it is.

- She's already taken. - Yeah, by me!

Ow, man!

- Are you coming with me?

- No, I've gotta stay! - All right.

- Waitress!

- Wait, I'm taking you home!

- Let me down right now!

What are you trying to do, get me fired on my first night?

- I want you to forget about this place and come home!

I've gotta go talk to the owner!

- Big fucking deal!

You go back in there and it's over, Joni!

You hear me, over! - You okay, Joni?

- Oh, great, who's this gorilla?

- It's okay, Biff, he's my boyfriend.

He's a little drunk and he doesn't notice anything.

- I am not drunk!

- Call me if you need me.

- Thanks, Biff.

- So what's it gonna be?

- It's the same as before.

- I can't, I can't handle this, Joni.

I can't. - Cool out, would you?

I'm gonna be home in a couple of hours.

- Okay.

All right.

Have it your way then.

Here, because you and I, we're through!

The house, the truck, it's all yours!

Everything!

- Well, you can keep the house because I'm not coming back!

Not never! - That's fine with me!

- Never! - Hey baby, how's $500 sound?

- Oh, go to hell!

- Oh man!

- Good morning.

Rise and shine.

- Hey.

- [Harlow] Ready for some breakfast?

- I sure am.

What can I do?

- Absolutely nothing, it's all under control.

How was the couch?

- I survived.

- Good.

You can stay as long as you need to.

I mean, if you'd like.

- Thanks.

I just hope that I'm not making a big, major mistake.

- There are no mistakes, only lessons.

- That's a good way to look at it.

- The only way.

How do you like your eggs?

- Scrambled. - I like mine like that too!

- Harlow, have you ever been in love?

- Yeah, I was in love once.

To a guy named Stan, a saxophone player.

I used to go hear him play at this club

every night after work.

He said he could only hit the high notes looking at me.

Anyway, one thing led to another,

and we took a place together.

He told me to quit dancing and spend more time at home.

So I spent more time at home.

Then a month later, wouldn't you know it?

Boom.

I was pregnant.

- Oh no.

- First he was all thrilled about it.

Talked about moving to the country,

raising a family an a farm, the whole bit.

Only pretty soon he was coming home later and later.

Until one night, he just didn't come home.

I went down to the club to try to find him.

They told me he left town.

Ran off with his childhood sweetheart.

A nurse from New Jersey.

Two weeks later, I miscarried.

- Did you ever see him again?

- Oh, sure.

Couple months later, he was back,

begging me to forget he ever left.

I kissed him off and never looked back.

Chalk it up as one big mistake.

- You mean lesson?

Remember, there's no mistakes.

- Right.

And the lesson is, don't ever fall in love

with a saxophone player named Stan.

- Joni?

Joni, you out there?

- Tell him to lay off of me, Mad Dog.

- Look, Eppy doesn't like this stuff.

We're gonna have to-- - Close the door.

- No.

- We'll be out in a few minutes.

- Don't go.

- Close the door!

Hit it!

- No.

You had the hots for me from the start, didn't you?

- You stay away from me, Roy.

Just get away from me!

- Get over here. - No.

No.

No!

No!

- You know, people come up to me all the time and they say,

"Mad Dog."

They say, "Hey, how come you guys never do anything

"nice and mellow?"

And we say, "Hey, we never do anything nice and mellow."

"We do it nice and rough."

- He's really an okay guy, you know?

But he's got this drug, he smokes it.

Makes him crazy.

I don't know what I'm gonna do about him.

- I'd keep away from him, that's what I would do.

- Oh yeah, easier said than done.

Oh God.

You pay with your soul when you sing rock and roll.

Ain't it the truth?

- [Mad Dog] I'm feeling really proud tonight.

I guess you guys can tell.

- Okay, tell me how this looks.

Now be honest, Joni.

- Let me see, turn your head.

Looks pretty good, I can hardly see it.

- Will you do me a favor?

Don't tell the other girls about this, please.

- So how did you walk into that door anyway?

- Right.

I should be wearing my prescription glasses.

- [Audience Member] Yeah, Harlow.

- [Audience Member] Come on, baby, come on, come on.

- Oh, we love you, Mama!

Yeah!

- Whoa, we got a slug fest!

It's a grudge match, anything goes!

Loser burns their trunks in the ring!

It's Roy with the Louisville slap against the back!

What a fight, this is incredible.

It's the cleanup crew, moves in effect!

The commissioners here, everybody's here, ya-hoo!

- I almost got mauled on stage.

I swear this place is turning into a zoo.

- That's what I needed to hear.

All right, you animals, it's feeding time!

- Go get 'em girl!

Hit 'em hard!

- Rock and roll.

- Will you stop burning a hole in the carpet already?

- Sorry.

Didn't that bother you out there?

- Must be a full moon.

- It's like that everywhere.

- Everywhere except the big rooms

like Las Vegas and Atlantic City.

- Did you ever work in one of them?

- Always wanted to, I just never got around to it.

- What do you say we give it a shot?

That would be a kick.

- I don't know, are you serious?

- Yes, why not?

- What about Eppy?

- Maybe he'll give us some time off.

- I wouldn't count on it.

- Sure he will.

Just so he can get some new faces in here.

- Live from the Las Vegas Strip, it's Miss Lotta Love!

- Lotta Love, okay! - Woo!

All right, Joni, go get 'em.

- What do you say?

- I think you're right.

It's time to move on.

- I sure do appreciate you doing a lube job

for me on a Sunday.

- I'm glad I had the time.

- I guess you got a lot more time now than you used to.

- Yeah, I reckon I do.

- Don't be so hard on yourself, Frank.

Happens to every guy once in a while.

- Yeah, but never to me.

- You'll do fine the next time.

Besides, you're real yummy no matter what.

Thanks for fixing my Jeep.

Frank?

Joni was one lucky girl.

- Hello?

Hello?

Damn.

- Hey boss, how's it going?

- What are you doing at the bar?

- Somebody's gotta pour my drinks.

- There's nothing funny about a drunk comic.

I'm sick of you drinking up all the profits in this place!

Next time I catch you boozing after hours, you're fired!

- Let's go, you guys.

I'm hungry.

- About ready for some breakfast?

- In a few minutes.

- We'll be at Denny's.

Come on, Harlow.

- No, no, I'll meet you there.

Anything that matter?

- Oh, not really.

- Having second thoughts, about Frank?

- Well, sometimes I think about,

you know, the way things used to be.

I'll be all right.

- Sure you will.

Once we hit the road, he'll be the last thing on your mind.

- I guess you're right.

- You and me, we make a good team.

- I know.

- Come and get me on the roof when you're done, okay?

- I will.

- I need some fresh air.

- [Row] Whew!

- Geez Roy, you scared me.

- You should be careful up here.

Could be dangerous at night.

- What do you want?

- I got something for ya.

Take your pick, coke and dust.

Go on, take it.

- No, thanks.

I don't do that anymore.

- What are you turning, Girl Scout on me now?

You and your new roommate?

- You wanna buy a cookie?

- Wanna buy a cookie?

That's cool.

I'll see you tomorrow night.

- Love is patient, love is kind.

It does not envy, it does not boast.

It is not proud.

Love never fails.

Do you Vincent Lockwood take this woman

to be your lawfully-wedded wife?

- I do.

- Do you Lucille Spritznagel

take this man to be your lawfully-wedded husband?

- I do.

- You may put the ring on her finger.

- Food's great. - Nice wedding.

- Here, let me help you with that.

There you go.

Cheers.

So are you seeing anybody?

- No, are you?

- No.

Are you happy?

- Think so.

You happy? - Oh yeah, sure.

- Hors d'oeuvres?

- It's just, come here.

I've been doing a lot of thinking.

- What about?

- I want you to come back home.

What's the matter, say something.

- It's just not that easy.

- [Frank] Why not?

- Because things are different now.

- Sure, we've been broken up.

- No, that's not what I mean.

- You're seeing somebody, aren't you?

- No, I said I wasn't.

- That's hard to believe.

- Okay, I'm screwing every guy

in town that I meet. - Quit talking so loud.

- What do you think about that?

Well, then quit calling me a liar.

- All right, you're not a liar.

Now why can't you come back home?

- Because I've got my own life for me now.

And Harlow and I got plans, travel plans.

We're going to Vegas.

- Oh yeah?

So what, are you two a?

- Are we two, what?

- Just kidding, kidding.

- I don't think you're very funny.

In fact, you've got a lousy sense of humor.

I'm leaving.

- What's wrong with my sense of humor, huh?

I think it's very funny, I'm a laugh a minute.

In fact, I'm a riot!

I'm hysterical!

You're the one that can't take a joke.

The last thing I wanted was for us to fight.

- Get out of here.

- I just want you to know something.

- Make it quick.

- Okay.

You can run, Joni, go ahead.

Run away as far as you want to go.

But if you ever decide to come back,

I just want you to know that I'll,

I'll be there waiting for you.

No matter how long it takes, I'll be there.

- Is that it?

- I wanna marry you, Joni.

It's the only thing that I've been able to think about.

I want you to be my

wife.

- Frank.

I'm so confused.

- I'm not confused.

Not one bit.

And you can dance all you want, all you want.

Just come back to me.

- Joni, don't be a fool.

Don't throw your whole life away on a man.

- That man said that I could dance and he wants to marry me.

And maybe I can have both.

- Wake up, will you?

Everything in life is a trade-off.

If you cannot see that, you're gonna hurt so bad

you'll forget what it's like to feel anything.

- Well, maybe I have to take that chance.

- What about us?

I thought we had plans.

I thought we were friends.

- We are friends.

I just can't throw him out of my life.

I love him.

I just need a little time, that's all.

- I don't...

I don't wanna be alone again.

- You're not alone.

- The fighting and the losing.

And then the fighting and the losing.

And the losing and the fighting.

And the losing and...

I swore to God it would never happen again.

- Stop. - Again.

- Stop it!

Stop it!

- Never, never, never.

Never!

- Let me in!

- Rock and roll, you pukes!

He said what?

- Anytime.

So long, girls.

All is forgiven.

- Good men send flowers, Joni.

You ought to marry that dude.

- Yes. - Oh, Louie's on the phone!

Okay, okay.

- Hey, does anybody know where Harlow is?

She's supposed to be on stage.

- Not since I got here. - Me neither.

- [Mad Dog] Someone better find her fast

'cause I'm running out of jokes.

- I'm gonna go check the bathroom.

- Ooh, roses.

- Harlow?

Harlow.

Harlow, you in here?

What, Harlow, what's wrong?

Christ. - Get out of here.

- Harlow, everybody's looking for you.

- They don't want to see me dance.

They just wanna see some skin.

- No.

- A little diversion, that's all.

- Oh my God, let me help you.

Come on, I'll help you.

Come on.

- I don't need your help.

Leave me alone.

- Harlow.

- What's with her? - I don't know.

- Come on, baby, blow out of here.

- Oh man, this has got more sense than you do!

- She was fine an hour ago.

Goddamn, she's the headline here.

- Hey, do your stuff, will you?

- Get rid of the bimbo, we want the redhead!

- Are you having a problem, Mister?

- Yeah, what do you do for a living?

- Hey bimbo, I wouldn't give up your day job!

- Oh man, Harlow.

Get her off the stage, Biff.

- What are you all looking at?

- Come on! - Hey!

- Just drop dead!

Do you hear me, drop...

- I'm here, Harlow.

Harlow, I'm here.

- Come on.

- Hey, over here, guys, huh?

Never a dull moment at Kandyland.

What a finale, huh?

Only here at Kandyland every night.

Hey, is anybody here from out of town?

Anybody here from Oklahoma City?

That's gotta be the only town in the country

you can drive a Ford Fairmont into a parking lot

and people come out and admire your car.

- It's gonna be okay.

- You guys reading the papers today?

They just found out that researchers cause cancer in rats.

It's gonna be a...

Well, I think it's time to keep moving along now.

And I think matter of fact,

it might be time for a menage a trois, huh?

All right, well, it's time, ladies and gentlemen,

I don't believe this.

- Picked us up a little breakfast.

- Forget it, I'm not hungry.

- That's too bad because I'm ravenous.

Figured I'd give you a second chance.

Joni.

Oh my God, what's wrong?

What happened?

- Oh, Frank, I'm so sorry if I hurt you.

I never wanted to hurt you.

Please forgive me.

- There's nothing to forgive.

- I love you, Joni.

- Frank, Harlow's dead.

She was high on something and she died at the club.

I wanna go back to the club and pack up her things.

Frank, thank you for the beautiful flowers.

- What flowers?

- The ones that you sent to the club.

- I didn't send any flowers to the club.

- You didn't?

- No, who's been sending you flowers?

- Oh, Frank, there you are.

Hi, Joni.

- Betty?

- [Frank] Joni, no, wait, you gotta hear me out.

- I'm getting out of here, Frank.

- Joni, it's not what you think.

Joni. - Get away!

- Joni.

Joni, Joni.

- Open the door, Joni.

Let me explain.

Joni!

Joni!

It's all a mistake, you don't understand!

- She sure had something, that Harlow.

Took care of everybody but herself.

Are you leaving?

- For a while.

Maybe I'll go see my parents.

I don't know, I don't know.

- Well, you're one kid I know is gonna make it.

You come back soon, huh?

- Thanks.

I will.

- We are closed, closed, young man.

Closed. - Please!

- We open at nine. - Please, please, please!

- Good morning!

Looking for this. - No, no!

- Still figure on holding me responsible?

- No.

No!

Stop, please, Roy.

There's nothing to tell, it was an accident.

- You had the hots for me from the start, didn't you, baby?

Keep your mouth shut and do what I say.

- No!
