What's the matter? Don't you love me anymore?

When was the first time you noticed a problem between Miss Dunn and Mr.

Belgian?

There was always a problem when she didn't know it. He treated her like

shit.

Ronnie's the type of person who only sees the good in others.

Anyway, this one night after work, Ronnie and I had a bachelor party to do.

I had a disagreement with the club owner about my showtime so he married me.

Get the fuck out of here and don't come back!

Sound the horn.

It's a conflict of interest, Ronnie. Can't you fucking understand that?

More bullshit!

You know, whatever happened to our moving in together? What was all that

about? Hey, what's going on?

Anybody talking to you? Get the fuck out of here! Don't talk to her like that!

I'm sorry.

Listen, uh, just give us a couple minutes, okay?

Thanks.

Oh, don't start crying, Ronnie.

I'm not crying.

Come here.

Put your arms around me. Why?

Show me there's no hard feelings.

Sure, Joey. You take care of yourself.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

You need to forget about him. He only comes around when you need to.

Yeah, I know.

How's my face?

Horrible. Fix yourself up.

You and the wife-to-be are going to be something.

Because it'll be like a circus troupe.

Where's our boy?

Here he is, right here.

You're going to be lost to the siblings.

Who's in charge?

I am.

Carry on.

Oh, man.

That's too much, man.

Oh,

buddy. Hey, buddy.

We figured this is your last night as a free man, so we better show wingin' a

couple of us.

That's right, yeah. We were going to go party in Cancun. You guys want a trip to

Cancun for me? Just for you, man, just so we can do this. You gotta be kidding.

You guys went out. Because we know it's too much. Tomorrow on, you're dead.

Make sure you get our money's worth.

I will, I will. Every penny.

Every penny.

So, what's your name?

Ronnie. Yeah? You a friend of hers?

Well, we're going to be partners when we open our beauty salon together, but

right now we're dancing.

You know, stripping, sort of.

That's nice. Maybe I'll send my sister to see you for a haircut.

You're a stripper.

No shit.

Hey, we can't let Buddy have all the fun. I mean, we're paying for this

party, right?

Right. What do you want?

What do you got?

What do you got?

Not much. I gave most of it to him, and he gave most of it to the one that left

with Buddy.

Lucky for Buddy.

Nice seeing you boys.

Ready, Cheryl?

Wait a minute, wait a minute. You're not going to leave us out like this. Are you

sure you're going to leave?

If you're out of cash, we're sure.

Good luck.

Have a nice party.

Great.

Ronnie, while we're waiting for Buddy and your partner...

Let's show us how you strip.

I don't have my music or my costume on. You can play something.

What have you got on under that dress?

Hair, you say?

Yes, you do.

Thank you.

How's about the rest of us having a good time with Buddy?

You mean do all of you?

Yeah.

I can't do that.

Why not?

What do you want to do, kill me?

I just want to have some fun.

How about three of us?

No, I can't.

What are we going to do, let your friend have all the fun?

Somehow that just doesn't seem right to me.

You gave all your money to Lucky?

Yeah, come on.

Have a heart.

How about two of us?

All right.

You first.

And you.

Yeah!

The rest of you have to sit over there by the wall.

Come on. Back there by the wall.

I knew you were a good boy.

Yeah, that's it.

Hey, I'm blazing a trail for you.

Read them and weep.

Yeah.

Aww.

Forget him, tiger.

All right, here you go. Hold my jacket.

Here, you hold it.

Well, if that was fun, this is going to double your pleasure.

Good job. Good job. Go for it.

Yeah. Did you fuck her in the back when she was sucking my dick?

Yeah,

fuck Buddy. We're having our own fun.

Did you guys see that?

did you do?

Two of them.

They were very sweet, Lucky. Real gentlemen.

Yeah? How much did they give you?

Well, they didn't give me anything.

They told me they'd give you all they had.

Well, they wanted to make sure that their friend Buddy had a real special

time.

Tell you what, you take all the money we made and put it towards the salon.

Really? That's great, Lucky.

I mean, we gotta start planning for the future.

And one of us has to be practical about this.

We can't go on doing this the rest of our lives, right?

Right.

You're going to need me, Lucky. I can see that.

I guess Ronnie wasn't too upset about her split up with Joey.

Yes, she was. She wouldn't have done all those guys if she wasn't upset.

After that, did Ronnie talk about him at all?

No, she blocked him out of her mind. It's just the way she handles things.

Did you talk about him at all after that?

No.

What did you think of him?

I didn't like him.

Because he used people.

He took advantage of Ronnie's good heart. He didn't like women.

He was high all the time.

He was a heavy drug user.

He didn't like that.

No, it was the way he treated Ronnie. That's what I didn't like about him.

What do you mean, the way he treated her?

He beat her up more than once.

When was the first time she said she wanted to kill him?

It was a few days later. We just arrived at work.

She seemed to be in a good mood.

I thought he was out of her mind for dinner.

When you take the boards, I mean, you act like the manager or something.

Not like fiance.

Put your hand on his crotch. Touch your tip, mister.

Come on, Joey. Don't you ever listen to me? I know what I'm doing.

These guys don't want the girl's boyfriend standing around. It breaks up

their fantasy.

They don't want me taking the pictures. You know what I mean?

I know.

I know all that.

The charms around me hold me for a little while.

Not here. It's a little stuffy.

Let me take care of you, Joey.

Come on.

Let me do you before I go on.

You're going to mess up your makeup and stuff.

Come on, Joey.

Find a nice spot.

You

ready

to get on stage?

Can we go looking on Monday Lucky for the shop?

I've been circling some ads in the paper, and I found this corner

storefront that we can get just as soon as we get the money.

What are you doing?

I'm going to kill him.

Are you nuts?

Where did you get this gun?

It's one of Joey's.

Did you think she was serious?

At the time, I don't know.

But she scared me.

Wait a minute.

You've got this friend, a very close friend, someone you live with.

You see this guy abuse her both physically and emotionally.

She takes out a gun and is ready to shoot him, and you don't know whether to

take it seriously?

I didn't say that.

I said she scared me.

But at the same time, you see your friend being humiliated by this guy

screwing another girl in front of her. He wasn't really in front of her.

Well, just about.

You could hear everything they were doing, right?

Yeah. And you think something should be done, right? I told her to forget about

him.

Look can I have some water?

Go on. What happened next?

I took the gun from her and put it in my bag.

Now, I want you to forget about that gun. Do you hear me?

Do you hear me?

Yeah, okay.

Come on, we have a show to do.

Ugh.

That's good.

Soft mouth.

Yes.

Oh, yeah.

Like that?

Oh.

Good.

Oh, yeah.

Are you ready for it?

Yeah. Shit.

That's good.

Come on, we gotta get on.

We gotta show.

Because Joey was with another girl?

That's what I thought, but she said we could have killed him and we didn't.

You said we. What does that mean?

It means nothing.

Everything means something.

Look, it was a slip of the tongue. What are you trying to get at?

I'm trying to get at the truth. That's all I want.

Later, did Ronnie try anything else?

No. After that night, we didn't see him for two months.

Why's that?

He just disappeared.

When he showed up again, he said he'd checked into a drug rehab to dry out.

But he was lying.

How did you know he was lying?

The owner told me when he left the club with Jessica that night.

I wanted to start... We've got to go on tour.

The time is right. I can book you in some good clubs. We can start making

some real money. You understand?

Good. I'm going to put you in some classy places because you've got the

stuff. But one thing.

Three guys get up there.

You let them all get their head in there, you got three more chances to...

Jessica,

where are you going?

Who the fuck is that?

It's my husband.

Your what?

Who's your friend?

You know I like to meet your new friends.

His name's Joey.

Joey. Yeah.

That's a nice name.

That's my wife.

Nice lady.

Oh, I'm sorry. I should introduce everybody.

Joey, this is Mary, Marie, and Melissa.

Mary, Marie, and Melissa, this is Joey.

Joey, I'd like to stay and talk, but Jessica and I have an appointment.

So please excuse us.

But Mary, Marie, and Melissa will keep you company for a while.

Ready, dear?

When did you find out about what happened to Charlie?

The next night.

I asked the club owner not to mention it to anyone because if Ronnie found out,

she would try to find him. And that one day he just showed up?

Yeah.

Ronnie was so happy.

He told her how he was clean and had a lot of time to think and realized how

much he cared for her. She was in love with him, so she fell for it.

I knew he was going to do the same thing he did to her before.

But I couldn't say anything.

I didn't want to hurt her.

Lucky, he's a different man now.

He's really changed.

Please try to give him a chance.

I love both of you so much.

Okay, I'm with you.

Joey! Hello, hello.

Hey, sweetie.

Lucky, I'm really sorry about before.

I just hope we can be friends now, too.

I knew he was lying.

If he were such good friends, why couldn't you level with her?

I don't know. I just wanted it to go away.

I tried to convince myself that I was wrong.

What changed your mind?

Soon after that, Joey was in the dressing room.

I was getting ready for my show.

He was high again.

I'm not going to kiss you. Just one kiss.

Ronnie's on stage dancing right now.

I'm not going to say nothing to you. Well, I am. She's my best friend.

Well, isn't that what best friends are for? You're fucking high again.

You want to get high too?

You have to be on stage.

I'm not going to let you go until you give me a kiss.

Just let me go.

What are you going to do, scream?

Joey, why are you doing this?

Because you're so beautiful and I just want a kiss.

Fucking cunt.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

What happened?

Nothing. Everything is just fine.

Come on, Joey. There's something you're not telling me.

Well, I know you guys are such good friends. I don't want that to change.

What?

No, forget it. I'm getting out of here.

Damn it, Joey. What's going on?

She made a play for me.

I don't know what came over her. She just, you know, she got all hot. She

wanted to get it on.

See, I knew I shouldn't have told you. I'm out of here.

Joey, don't go. Come back here.

I need you.

Listen.

How could I be around the two of you after this?

Well, I don't know. I'll move in with you.

I'll dance on a different circuit. Please, I just don't want to lose you

too.

Okay.

Why don't you get your stuff together?

I want to get out of here.

I don't want to see her again.

Did she move out after that?

Yes.

Did you still see her at work?

No, Joey booked her in some other places.

Real dives.

I didn't hear from her for a couple weeks.

Then what?

She called me very upset one night.

She found Joey shooting a video of this guy and girl fucking.

He wanted her to join in.

Honey, put your pussy out towards me a little bit. I want to be able to see it.

Yeah. Okay, you suck it. Let me get some clothes on that.

Yeah.

Dan,

you are just completely nasty there. Oh, yeah.

some of that.

I don't blame you.

I think she's horny. Oh, definitely.

That's a wet box.

Yes, it does.

That's good.

Oh, shit.

My turn.

Good second.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, two dicks in one.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, that's good.

Got it.

Keep playing with your pussy. Come on.

Hey, how about some water?

Yeah, sure. I'll be a sec.

Hi.

Glad you're here.

Listen, I want you to be in this video.

It'll be great.

If you do it, I can book you all over the country as a headliner.

I'll be a sec. Hold on.

What are you saying?

You're really serious, aren't you?

Yeah.

Joey, how could you fuck another woman in our home?

Wait a minute. This is my place. I do what the fuck I want.

If you don't like it, you can get the fuck out.

You're the lowest fucking scum I've ever met.

Thank you very much.

What the fuck can I say?

You want to be in this video or not?

Because I ain't got time to bullshit, okay?

Yeah, sorry I took so long

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, man.

Oh, God.

I'm ready to go.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

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

-hmm.

Oh, God. Oh,

God.

Come on.

Come on.

Oh, yeah.

Oh.

Oh. Oh, God, that's a wet pussy. Oh.

Want to come?

Oh. Oh.

Oh. Oh.

Oh. Oh. Oh.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah! Yeah!

Shit, I forgot my keys.

You like that.

Okay.

All right.

Yeah.

Hey, why'd you leave?

I could have made you a star.

You told me you were straight.

Look at you.

I'm out of here.

Don't start with that. I'm leaving.

Bullshit. Run. Come on. Give me that.

Hey, what are you doing? Break it up.

What are you doing here? I called her. What the fuck do you mean you called

her? Give me those keys. God damn it. No.

Come on.

Both of you are going to bed.

He takes the keys and goes to the bedroom?

Yes.

She told me to take some of her things down to the car while she tried to get

them.

And that's the last time you saw him alive?

Yes.

You got the keys?

Yeah. Did Joey pass out?

Ronnie? Ronnie, what's wrong?

I think he's dead.

What are you talking about?

He wouldn't give me the keys, and we started to fight.

He grabbed me, and I think I hit him over the head with the video camera.

Well, didn't you try to help him? I don't remember.

All I know is he was just lying there.

Joey?

Joey?

How did you know he was dead?

I wasn't sure right then.

Didn't you think about calling a doctor, for Christ's sake?

That's what I told her, but she wouldn't listen.

She wouldn't?

All right, we've got to get our story straight.

Okay, I came in and I saw him shooting the video. And then I called you because

I was upset.

Now, we'll take his wallet and we'll say that those people must have robbed him.

So you started to talk about how you were both going to cover yourselves.

I wasn't saying anything. She was.

What was going on in your mind?

I don't know. I was scared.

She said she couldn't pull it off without me.

You didn't try to talk her out of it? I told her to call the police, but she was

too confused.

We're not doing the right thing. We should call the police before it's too

late. Look, what are we going to tell them? They're not going to believe us.

Come on, will you listen to me? We're in deep shit.

You think I don't know that?

Find the body, they'll find the videotape, and that'll support our

story.

How are the cops going to find his body? I don't know.

I'll come back in a couple days to get the rest of my stuff.

And then I'll call the police if I just discovered it.

Ronnie, I'm really afraid.

Come on, we're friends. We're going to stick through it together, right?

Come on, it'll be all right.

The next night at the club, we made sure everyone knew that Ronnie had moved back

in with me because Joey was caught videotaping that couple.

The story was easy to believe because everybody knew what kind of guy Joey

was.

Do you think you'd get away with it?

I didn't do anything.

I didn't like Joey, but I would never hurt anybody.

And if Ronnie flipped out, then it was Joey's fault.

What the fuck are you shaking your head for?

Watch your mouth.

Easy.

I think it's a good time to take a break now, don't you?

Lucky?

How about some food?

Want something to drink? A soda?

The doctor will see you down.

Lucky, you sure you don't want something?

No, thanks.

Hey. Hey, you.

Come here.

You don't do that here.

You never do that here.

Do what?

Kiss niggers.

Wait, it's blacks. We don't say niggers.

We say blacks.

We don't kiss blacks here.

Understand?

Well, you can't tell me what to do. Look, bitch, we got rules here. And if

you don't follow them, you'll get your ass kicked.

Hi, my name's Lucky. What's yours?

Ronnie. It's nice to meet you, but what are you doing talking to these fucking

idiots? Well, they stopped me when I was leaving. They told me that I can't kiss

black men here.

Why not?

When you kiss one of them, they'll all want us to kiss them.

So?

You're a headliner. This is local.

And private. It's not your affair.

The local dancers here have certain rules, and that's it.

We don't kiss blacks.

What's with you bitches?

You can't get laid. You take it out on her.

What do we have here? Another nigger lover to contend with, or what?

Where you fucking been?

The last dancer who fucked with me and my friends couldn't dance for a week.

What are you, some kind of an asshole? You're just taking lessons.

Oh, God!

Oh, shit!

Now, does anybody else want to fuck with me?

Who do you think you're fucking with, huh?

Come on, let's go have some fun.

Who the fuck do they think they're fucking with?

You'll be hearing from us, Lucky.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The blood on your face is an improvement.

You bitches just don't know who you just fucked with.

Motherfucker. Are you all right?

Yeah, you're better than Arnold Schwarzenegger. You saved me from them.

Oh, don't mention it. All right.

This was your last night, huh?

Yeah, I have to start a new club on Monday. How about you? I can't come back

here. No, I don't think you better.

Do you live around here?

Yeah, I'm staying in the Sprinter's dream. It's a real dive, though.

Do you like this business?

It's all right.

I'm really a beautician, though.

I took a course. Maybe I'll find something around here. Yeah.

I got a surprise for you. What's that?

Carol.

Thank you.

Amen. Amen.

Thank you.

Please. Please.

What do you think?

Something not quite right with her story.

You call the shots.

Can we go on?

Yeah.

Any changes during the next week?

A few days later at the club, she wasn't herself.

I think it was getting to her.

It's going to be okay. After this all blows over, we'll just forget about it

and go away.

But right now we have to keep our heads.

Ronnie, we have to keep our heads.

I'm so tired.

I wish I could get a good night's sleep.

I think somebody knows.

How can anybody know?

Some of the girls have been asking questions.

Like they don't believe us.

Like someone's been saying something.

Nobody can say anything. Nobody knows but us.

Joey.

Joey? Joey's dead.

Maybe he isn't. You're crazy.

No. Maybe we thought he was dead.

Maybe he's not.

Maybe he knows exactly what he's doing. Maybe he's fucking with us. Come on,

Ronnie.

God, we're going to jail.

We've got to keep our heads, all right? We've got to keep it together.

I know that.

Something's bothering me.

You say she thinks someone is talking, right?

Yes, she's very paranoid.

No, there's something else.

She thinks someone is talking. Maybe you.

You're really trying to confuse everything now.

You're not stupid, Lucky.

Wouldn't it cross your mind that we might think you're talking so you won't

be implicated?

I would never do that to her. You're doing it to her now. Why didn't you

stick to the cover story?

I got scared when I saw the videotape.

No, Lucky, there's another reason. You don't scare that easily.

You came in here and right off the bat said that your friend Ronnie killed

Joey. There's no other reason. I think you planned to pin this on her from the

beginning. That's a fucking lie.

No. You thought you'd come in here, tell this story.

Ronnie wouldn't know. She'd tell the cover story. You'd be in the clear and

she'd be made out to be the liar.

Unless, of course, both stories aren't true.

You're twisting things around.

She looks up to you.

She feels lost without you.

She makes up the cover story to protect you from something you did.

I'm going to let you go home and think about this.

You won't disappear.

Would you like to see Ronnie before you go?

Yes, I would.

Bring down Miss Dunn, please.

Right.

Lucky. Did they believe you? Yeah, I think it's all right.

God, I feel so much better now.

Lucky.

I'm really sorry for the way I am.

What are you talking about?

It's just that I'm always getting myself into messes that you have to get me out

of.

It's just not fair.

I can't even take care of myself.

That's why I'm so glad that I can do this for you.

It's just that I'm a little afraid.

Ronnie, we're all just a little afraid.

Yeah, but it always seems like everyone has more courage than I do.

It's not true.

You just look for the good in other people.

I wish I was more like you.

You too?

Yes.

You're a very special person.

You're just in the wrong business.

Yeah, but then I never would have met you.

And Joey.

I really miss him.

I wanted to help him out.

He just never straightened out.

God, I really miss Joey.

I don't know what I'm going to do. I can't stop thinking about him.

Ronnie. It's going to be all right. You're going to be okay.

I'm really afraid for you.

When it's done, you're wanted downstairs.

Okay.

I'll see you later, Lucky.

You got the keys?

Yeah.

That's Joe who passed out.

Lucky.

Lucky, what's wrong?

I think he's dead.

What are you talking about?

I was trying to get the keys and we started to fight. He grabbed me.

So I hit him over the head with the video camera. Didn't you try to help

him? I don't remember. He was just lying there.

Something you want to tell me?

Yeah.

I knew you'd do the right thing.

And you want to know something else?

I don't think you meant to kill me.
