Four, four, three.

Shannon. He's a real man.

Shannon.

He's a real man.

Thank you.

Oh my God, Mr. Jonathan, it is bigger and better.

He's a real man.

Thanks, Artie. I'll see you next week.

That bitch.

She pinched my chin, honey, and she didn't even tip me.

Well, maybe next time, Artie.

Sorry, Brenda.

Good morning.

Good morning. You must be Mrs. Simpson.

Yes, my dear. I have an appointment with Mr. Jonathan.

Yes, of course. Just have a seat. I'll tell Mr. Jonathan you're here. Thank

I guess she's enjoying her wash and rinse.

Mrs. Simpson is here.

She has an appointment.

Very well.

Mr. Jonathan will be with you as soon as he's finished Mrs. Carruthers.

Mrs. Carruthers?

Sally Carruthers?

Yes, do you know her?

Why, dear, she's the one that told me about Mr. Jonathan.

Well, then you can say hello when she comes out. No.

I mean, I didn't tell Mrs. Crothers I was coming here.

I mean, I had an appointment with Mr. Jonathan for my hair.

I'm sorry, I must really leave.

Oh, and don't mention to Mrs. Crothers that... Does Mr. Jonathan make house

calls? Well, not that I know of. I've been here just three days, and I really

don't know for certain.

Could you ask him to stop by my home this afternoon?

My hair is such a mess, and I need Mr. Jonathan.

Could you ask him, please?

I haven't had my hair done in months.

Well, I'll ask, but I doubt it. He's very busy.

Sorry about all the interruptions, babe.

What interruptions?

Yeah. Mrs. Simpson can't wait for her appointment and would like you to go to

her home.

No, I don't think so.

I'm sorry.

Oh, please.

Well, you don't name an address.

Is that okay?

Thank you.

You're certain you have my address?

Yes, I am.

Very well.

Oh,

her hair looks a mess.

Why didn't she come in here first? Look at this, Richard.

Her hair is a fright.

You're right, Artie, baby. She should have came in here first.

Mr. Jonathan.

Hello, Mr. Jonathan.

Hello, ladies.

Artie taking good care of all of you? Not the way you could.

Marty just didn't have the equipment you have. I wouldn't bet on it, honey.

How's my schedule?

Full.

You like that restaurant?

Yeah, it's nice.

About how old would you say?

About that.

The one that just left.

Mrs. Simpson?

About 30.

isn't that bad.

I had a little experience with that myself.

I think I'll go see her.

Is this the address?

Yes, but remember, you have a full schedule.

Have Richard Artie handle it.

Mr. Jonathan, how good to see you.

Mrs. Phillips, right? Yeah. Hey, I won't be able to do you today.

Have Richard Artie take care of her.

Oh, no, I haven't seen you in weeks.

I don't want Richard. I want Mr. Jonathan. Something's come up.

See you later.

Richard, I already handled it okay.

Bye -bye, baby.

Bye -bye.

You tell Mr. Jonathan that I left.

If he won't do me, nobody will. But we... But nothing.

Good morning. May I help?

Boss is back in town.

He wants to talk to you.

You didn't actually think you could hide, did you?

Come on. Stop it. Let go.

Get out of here. I don't have to talk to you.

You'd better come along quietly.

What in the world is going on in here? Come on. Don't you touch her. I'll call

the police.

All we want to do is talk to the young lady.

Easy,

Brenda.

We've got orders not to hurt you, unless we have to.

Kay, just don't hurt anybody.

What do you want?

The boss just wants to talk to you, that's all.

Please, ask him to leave me alone.

God damn you people, shut up!

No, I'm not going.

Tell Mr. Wilson I'll call him tonight, I promise.

Mr. Wilson?

I never heard of anybody by that name.

Okay, Brenda.

You better do it before somebody really gets hurt.

I'll tell the boss to expect your call.

Tonight.

Nice seeing you again.

All right, let's go.

You'd better call.

You looking for Mom?

You must be Mr. Jonathan.

Right on both counts, Mrs.

Simpson is your mother.

Wow. Oh, let me.

Is your name Mr.

Jonathan something or Mr.

Something Jonathan?

Hey, give me that.

I'll make my living with that.

I just bet you do.

Tools of the trade.

Handle with care.

But this way, sir, after you.

It's a nice place you guys got here. It's okay.

Let's see. Which daddy got this for us?

Well, was it the fourth?

No, I think it was daddy number five.

Well, you're kind of pushy little chicks, you know that? Hey, just cool

Hey, when did you say your mother was coming?

Don't worry about it. She'll be right in. Come on. Yeah, come on.

Yeah. Come on.

Okay.

Now what?

So, uh...

Mr. Jonathan.

So is it true that you're the best in the West?

We shared a guy once.

Twice. Why do you guys come up with this kind of stuff, huh?

No, Mr.

Jonathan. The question is, when do you come up?

Oh, come on.

That's right. Come on.

Here we go.

Who do you think you are?

I ought to call the police.

Oh, no, no, no. Lady, you got it all wrong.

I know.

Don't say it.

They attacked you, right? Yeah, we... As a matter of fact, they did.

You know, they came at me like a pair of sharks and... Like sharks? Somebody

ought to teach those girls some manners, you know that?

I guess it's not your fault.

They've done that sort of thing before.

It's time those two learned a lesson.

Maybe I better go. I think I'll teach him a lesson.

Oh, Mama.

I swear to God.

Jesus.

Now, isn't that better than those kids?

Mama's still king of the hill.

And this way they can see just who's boss.

Mama, show us. I just came here to do your hair.

What happened here? Where'd everybody go?

There was a little problem.

Where's Artie and Richard?

Artie? He's gone, Jonathan.

They're both gone.

They wanted to wait to talk with you, but I made Artie go home. He was hurt.

Hurt? And I thought Richard should go with him.

How'd he get hurt?

Couldn't we sit down?

Okay, run it down. What happened?

Two men came in. They worked for a man I knew.

A man I used to work for.

They demanded I leave with them to go back to him.

And when Artie tried to help me, they roughed him up pretty bad.

Thank goodness he's all right now.

I'm sorry about all this. I'm leaving, but I had to tell you personally.

Who is this giant punk anyway?

Jonathan, I know it must sound pretty weird. I'm sorry.

Sorry about everything.

Where are you going?

Look, I balanced the books through today's receipts.

Everything's in the desk there.

I'm just sorry for any trouble I might have caused you.

Relax.

You ain't going anywhere.

At least until I've got the whole story anyway.

It's no good, Jonathan.

Best thing is just for me to leave.

This guy's too powerful to fight. Believe me, I know him.

Come on inside.

All right, let's have it from the top.

What's going on?

All right.

I worked for this guy before I came here.

What guy?

That doesn't matter.

He wanted to keep me.

I mean, the whole bit.

Mercedes, jewels, stay at his mansion.

Couldn't dig it, and I left.

I don't know.

Maybe I should leave town or something.

That's bullshit.

What I don't understand is what all the strong -arm business is about.

Hey, nobody walks out on him.

Nobody.

That's why I've got to go.

Fuck that.

The only place you're going is to dinner with me.

Jonathan, I don't think you understand.

See, baby, there ain't any slaves anymore.

No strong -arm punk is gonna take you.

And make you stay where you don't want to be.

But go into dinner with me.

Okay?

Can you feel the love?

here we are sitting with one another

What's wrong with your report?

The shipment hasn't come in yet.

I... I wouldn't... I don't want to hear that bullshit. You told me you can do

the job when I gave it to you. And I don't want excuses.

It's the truth.

What do you think, I'm some kind of an idiot?

No, but if the merchandise... I know what you're supposed to be bringing in.

Now, if your figures don't start getting right, you'll get replaced.

How can I push what I don't have if it hasn't come in yet? I don't want to talk

about this over the telephone.

I'm telling you that I'm aware of what's going on and what the cause of it is.

Do you understand?

Good

news.

We found her.

She's working for some faggot hairdresser on the Sunset Strip.

She promised she'd call tonight.

You believe her?

This is your call.

I can take that as your own personal guarantee.

What else could I do?

There were people there. You said you didn't want to create a scene.

Go back to the place she's working. Make sure she calls.

I don't understand.

First she asked me to... I told you before, schmuck.

You've got to know the people you're dealing with.

I know Miss St. John.

You say she's working for a hairdresser.

Rip the joint apart.

She'll call.

What in the fuck happened here?

Sorry, Jennifer.

I'm responsible for all this.

Sorry.

Right. Brenda, come on.

Brenda?

Can you feel the love?

Can you feel the love?

Thank you.

Look at this put...

Jonathan, did you spend the night here?

Jonathan, look at this place. It's such a mess.

Brenda, have you seen Brenda? Look at this place, Jonathan.

You all right, Brenda? Is he all right? What do you mean, is he all right? Look

at this place. Just look at this mess.

This is just... We must notify the police, Jonathan. Please.

Brenda? She hasn't come in yet.

You mean you haven't seen her? No, Jonathan.

How come? What happened?

Don't worry about it, fellas. We'll fix it up, okay?

Take it easy.

Sure,

that poor fella.

Terrible destruction has affected him so deeply.

Hey, have you seen Brenda?

You know, my new receptionist.

No, I'm sorry, Mr. Johnson, I haven't.

What's happening, Mr. Jonathan? Relax.

Hey, it's some mess you've got here.

They're the ones, Jonathan, the brutes. How dare they show their balls around

here again after what they've done to Artie. All right, tone down a little

You're looking for Brenda St. John, right?

That's right.

Well, we're here to take you to her.

Where is she?

Friends. They want to talk to you.

Don't trust them.

I don't trust them, Artie. But as soon as I find out that Brenda's okay, I want

to have a little talk with them about what they did to this shop and to you.

All right, let's go.

I'll take my own car if you don't mind.

Boss is at the pool.

Did you send for me, Master Ball, sir?

You're the hairbender.

Where is she?

Very well, Mr.

Jonathan.

We'll play it your way.

Brenda, darling, would you mind stepping out by the pool for a minute?

Of course.

Would you care for a cup of coffee?

Hello, Jonathan.

Surprised to see you here.

Did you call for me, dear?

This gentleman, the Poma hairdresser, I believe, would like to talk to you about

something.

Come on, Brenda, get your things and let's go.

Aren't you assuming quite a lot?

Stop it, all of you.

I don't know what you're doing here, but why don't you just go away, quietly?

A couple of my boys got out of line at your place yesterday.

I'm sorry.

This ought to more than cover the damages.

Is this shit for real?

I made a mistake, Jonathan.

This is where I want to be.

I belong here.

Okay.

You got it.

Bought and paid for.

But your hair looks like shit that way.

I'm sorry if I've caused a problem for you.

Young men can be so impetuous.

But then maturity has its moments too.

Shall we?

What's the matter, stud?

You losing your touch? I understand them black pussies sucking fucks like wild

animals.

Here, move.

Put it away, I'll shove it up your ass and pull the trigger. Don't be a dead

hero. Like the girl said, nobody needs you around here.

I'll get you for this, you son of a bitch.

Next time you come around my shop, suck up breaking up things.

Pick on me, brother.

Mr. Jonathan, how good did you?

No, I haven't seen you in weeks. I swear to God.

That's right.

It's me. Can I come in for a minute?

Not now, Artie. Later, huh?

We must talk about this, Jonathan.

Okay, Artie.

Look, I know I owe you an explanation.

First of all, forget about the damage to the shop.

It's been bought and paid for with interest.

And secondly, forget about Brenda.

She's gone. She's exactly where she wants to be.

Brenda? Jonathan, you can't be serious. I know Brenda. She wouldn't do such a

thing. She did, Artie.

I know because I just left her. She's happy as hell where she is.

The only thing I'm really concerned about

It's what they did to you.

You okay?

That's all right, Jonathan. You mustn't worry about that. I'll be all right.

Can I come in?

Might as well.

Jonathan, I know you're upset about the condition of the slide, but don't worry

about it. We can fix it up.

I'm sure we can fix it. Of course we can. It'll be nice as ever. Or it'll be

better than ever.

Of course.

Artie, I have a great idea. Why don't we invite Jonathan to the party?

Jonathan. No, thanks. Jonathan, it'll be such fun.

It's gay and straight and really wild.

A western -style barbecue.

Won't you please come?

It's just what you need to pick you up.

A western -style barbecue to pick me up?

Might be a good idea.

Okay. Brenda!

You look wonderful, like a beautiful black angel. Come over here.

Here, let me do that.

What's the matter, darling? You seem a million miles away.

No, nothing really. I'm sorry.

Is everything ready?

Yes, sir.

Don't you ever look at any of my papers ever. Do you understand what I'm saying?

Yes, sir.

but don't you ever look at any of my papers or books again. Do you hear me?

I won't, I promise.

That's a good little pussycat.

I won't be around tonight.

I've got a fucking speech to make at some goddamn dinner. Understand?

Of course.

Is your boss, Mr. Jonathan, coming?

We're not certain he might.

I hope so.

I'd love to get my hands on him. Lay off, sweetie. Mr.

Jonathan is straight as an arrow. Maybe I can bend him.

Not a chance.

Just leave him alone.

Artie, I heard you were having trouble at the salon.

And Mr. Jonathan needs a new receptionist. Can I have the job?

He certainly does need a new receptionist, darling.

Mr. Jonathan would just love you.

You've got the job going.

Good, good, good.

Oh, God, she'll never drown.

Believe me.

Well, if it ain't Mr. Johnson. Mr. Johnson himself.

Something to do? All right.

Well, as they say, business is business. Come on, let me show you.

No, not later, man. I'll check you later.

How big is he, really?

Who? Your boss, Mr. Jonathan.

Oh, I wouldn't know.

Well,

if they don't know, I'll just find out and tell them.

Jonathan is so good.

to see you. I'm glad you decided to come to the barbecue.

Oh, it's just an old -fashioned cookout. It certainly is. I can see. Just an old

-fashioned cookout.

What's he afraid of? I don't bite.

Well, what do you think, Sean?

I think that you need to have Artie or Richard take a good look at you

my dear.

Well, why don't you take it into that?

No, no, you take it, you take it. Jonathan, I'd like you to meet a very,

beautiful girl. Come over here, Jackie.

Jonathan. Hello, Mr. Jonathan. This is our new receptionist.

Do you like her?

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.

Jonathan. Jonathan.

Mr. Jonathan, my name is Ben. Artie refuses to introduce us. You bet your

honey, so just relax.

Jonathan, don't mind him.

Jonathan?

Get about Brenda.

This is not like you, man.

I don't understand you. Come on, have some fun. It's not like you, Jonathan.

Yeah, you're right, but... I'll tell you what.

I'm going up to my cabin and hang out for a couple of days.

Try to get my hair together.

You take care of the salon, huh?

Jonathan, that salon of mine...

Prettier and better than ever, Jonathan.

I'll fix it right to the details. Every picture on the wall.

Don't worry about it, Jonathan, okay?

Okay, thanks a lot, Beth. You take care. Right, Jonathan. See you in a few days.

Bye -bye.

Freddy! Jonathan!

How you doing?

How you doing, buddy?

Good, good.

Good to see you. Good to see you. Thanks, yeah.

How you been doing? How you feeling? Oh, fine, fine, fine, fine.

How's everything around the place? Well, everything is going on pretty good.

Pretty good.

That's just great.

Say, how long you want to be here now?

Oh, a few days.

Yeah.

Hey, here for a drink of water?

Very good, very good.

Uh -huh.

I think I'll go down to the cottage for a few hours, and I'll be back with you

later, huh? All right.

Good to see you. Hey, I'll put your car away for you, huh?

Thanks a lot.

See you in a few hours.

Okay, now.

deposit key I'll be right back

Hurry up, I'm late.

Have a nice time, darling.

What are you doing here?

I decided I wanted to go for a ride.

Yeah, well, I thought you were supposed to be in town shopping.

I changed my mind.

And I don't have to report to you on my actions.

Yeah, well, Mr. Wilson don't like surprises.

You're supposed to be in town. You'd better be there.

Then you tell Mr.

Wilson I decided to go for a ride, messenger boy.

I'll do just that.

Can you feel the love?

Can you feel the love?

Good morning. May I help you? Hi, I'm Brenda. I've got to see Jonathan.

I'm afraid Mr. Jonathan's not here.

Brenda! Artie, have you finished? No, just sit down, please.

Hi, Artie. Good to see you.

Where's Jonathan?

Brenda, where in the world have you been? It's a long story and it's not

yet. Now, please, it's important. Where's Jonathan?

He's gone, Brenda.

He hasn't been here since that day.

Gone? Gone where?

Look, I've got to see him. It's important. Please, where is he? Take it

doll. Here, come in here. We'll talk in Jonathan's room.

Relax, doll.

He went away, Brenda.

You hit him pretty hard.

I had no choice. I had to do it the way I did to protect him.

To protect all of you. Jonathan can take care of himself.

I know that.

This is heavy now. Where is he?

Do you really love him? I mean, really love him? Cry it out loud, Artie.

Yes, I love him.

I love him so goddamn much, I'm risking my life to be with him now. Where did he

go? You know, Del, I believe you.

There.

Are you Miss Brenda?

Yes, please.

Where's John?

He's out shooting pool.

Wait a minute, I don't understand. What are you talking about? Well, he's at

that cabin.

Right over the hill there. You take that path right on up over the hill and I'll

take you right to it. Okay, thank you.

This is ridiculous.

You just can't walk in here in the middle of the night.

Easy, sweetie.

Unless you want your face messed up for good this time. Don't you touch him. All

right, cool it. This place is closed indefinitely by order of the health

department. Now, everybody, get the hell out of here. You don't look like any

goddamn health department to me.

This is outrageous.

What do you people want in here? I'm going to call the police. Hold it. What

you going to do with that guy?

Don't worry about it, Goofy baby. They ain't going to do nothing.

Oh, no. Put everybody in the bag. Him first.

Just let me go.

Black baboon, black baboon. Uh, kiss this, sweetie.

Okay, let's put everybody in the back room.

Kissy -goosey.

Kissy -goosey.

Knock that shit off.

All right, so I was grabbing a little ass, so what?

Well, tell the boss we got everything under control.

Hey, sweetheart, now you're going to tell us where Superfag went.

I'm not going to tell you pricks anything.

Now you just get right out of here right now.

And if you hurt Richard, you're going to be sorry.

You're a tough little faggot.

Not really, but I know it's important.

Important ain't the word for it.

This is a rundown on everything he's into.

You know, the Internal Revenue Service would give a year's refund to get a hold

of this thing.

Jonathan, you don't know him like I do.

Why don't we just hide the book and use it for our own protection? Make him

leave us alone.

Oh, no, that's too good for him.

I think it's about time somebody lowered the boom on Mr. Big.

I want to put his ass away for good.

Hello there.

Come over here a minute.

You there.

I'm talking to you.

What do you want here?

I'm looking for Miss St. John.

Ain't nobody here by that name.

Don't give me that shit. That's her car right there.

Now, you just get out of here, because this is private property.

Benny, I...

Son of a bitch.

Watch yourself.

Okay,

get out of here.

Lay low.

Jonathan, what are you going to do?

That's all right. Just be quiet. Don't make a sound.

No.

Where'd they go?

Shit. Where did they go?

You guys were down there?

Come on, Patty.

All right, we gotta get the hell out of here.

get that back.

I'm not going in.

What are you talking about? There's no... Don't hit him!

Hit it back at the cabin.

have it here.

It's back at the saloon.

You've got to know your enemies.

You can beat him to death and he'd never talk.

Get to him through her.

Think, schmuck.

Use your brains.

Muscle is not the answer.

It doesn't work as well as brains.

Where's the book?

This hurts me, Brenda, baby. This really hurts.
