All language subtitles for The Young Heart (1994)

Many a hot Indian night my dear old
Lancers and I have whiled away at poker.

I've been a bit out of touch
with the game lately, however,

which may account for the fact that
the cards seemed somewhat obstinate.

Obstinate?

I thought they did everything
but push the money toward you.

Well, it's keeping it in the family,
Jennings. All in the family.

A sort of domestic jackpot,
you might say.

Of course,
once the dear children are married,

everything I have is yours,
and everything you have is mine.

You mustn't let your generosity
sweep away your reason, sir.

Isn't it lovely the way my husband
has taken Mr. Jennings?

To his heart, I mean,
of course.

Just like two boys, the way
they like to gamble on everything.

Tell me, Mrs. Carleton, why do you
call your husband the Sahib?

Sahib? That's Indian
for "gentleman," you know.

Such a distinguished man.

But what does he do now?

He's an economist,
part of the Brain Trust, you know...

labor conditions,
wages, unemployment.

The sahib doesn't believe
in unemployment.

He doesn't?

He thinks it should all
be done away with.

How interesting.

He says the only way
to do away with unemployment

is to do away with employment.

If nobody worked,
there couldn't be any unemployment,

and so the Sahib hasn't done
a speck of work for years.

Passive resistance, you know.

Gandhi.

How clever of him.

My son feels
the same way about it.

- He's terribly clever too.
- And so charming.

And soon to be
your son too, Mrs. Jennings.

"This night, these stars,

"this purple sea...

"why were they planned?

"With what in view,
but for a setting of our love?

Mercy, Richard, you do think up
the prettiest poetry.

Honey, you just make me
want to cry.

Love and tears
go hand in hand, Adela.

That's life.

I was just thinking how romantic
our marriage is gonna be.

We were just made for each other,
weren't we, honey?

We were, Adela.

We are each other's destiny.

But I do not understand
why your brother's marrying that girl.

She's very ugly
and she's very stupid.

Well, he loves her, Duncan.
Love is strange.

Did you say you have something
you want to show me?

I did that. Our engagement ring.
I sent for it.

Isn't that wonderful?
I can hardly wait.

I hope you weren't too extravagant.

It's not a valuable ring,

but it belonged to the MacGregors.
That was my mother's name.

Oh! Why, it's lovely.

I love sentiment... so much better
than all the diamonds...

I'd like to give you diamonds,
George-Anne, and pearls too.

- Would you really?
- But I'm not a wealthy man.

Oh, now, don't try
to make me think that, Duncan.

You're sure
they're the Carletons, Sergeant?

Positive, Lieutenant.

The Monte Carlo police
sent photographs.

Four of a kind...

and the kind
we don't want around here.

Come on.

I have advised Mr. Jennings
not to worry about this check.

I'm thunderstruck, sir.
Utterly thunderstruck.

Did I say thunderstruck?

Yes, dear.

Tell me, Colonel,

you have never been
in the Bengal Lancers, have you?

My dear sir, when my regiment
was quartered in India...

In fact,
you have never been in India.

These reports from Canada
of your earlier life...

"'Sweethearts of the Bengal Lancers'
with the original Toronto cast."

If this is
some low jest of yours, sir...

What is the proposition?

The municipality would feel
a distinct gratitude

if you would be kind enough
to continue your operations elsewhere.

If I were so disposed, sir,
I would consider your remarks insulting.

What my father is trying to say

is that we would be very pleased
to cooperate with the municipality,

but unfortunately,
we have no money.

In fact,
thanks to your interference,

you find us completely destitute.

Mr. Jennings thought as much,

and asked me to present you
with these tickets to London,

with his compliments.

Colonel Anthony Carleton,
Bengal Lancers, at your service. L...

You haven't changed much
since those days, darling.

Is that so, really?

Only your hair's really getting gray
now, instead of being a wig.

But when you jumped up
just then,

you look just like
you used to in the second act

when you talked
to Lady Gretchley. Remember?

Ah, beautiful scene, that.
Beautiful.

"And you, Lady Gretchley,

"rest assured that I,
Colonel Anthony Carleton,

"will so and so and so and so

"with my life
against these villainous natives

"until my
so and so and so and so

Bengal Lancers arrive!"

Colonel Anthony Carleton...
how we loved that name

when we first rehearsed the play
that night in Toronto.

We've sort of
taken the name for granted, now.

Do you remember how
they always cheered

at my speech at the end
of the second act?

"So and so and so and so,

forward march!"

A splendid play!

Well, it had its moments,
my dear, it had its moments.

He's very well-known as Algy

To the girls of Mandalay

He was a capital something Algy

So bold, so brave, so gay

He's la-la-la-la
favorite Algy

How he made the barmaids sigh

He was very well-known,
was Algy

A Piccadilly captain
with a little glass eye

Tell me just one thing, please...
what have you to sing about?

They're getting sentimental.
Come on. Let's get out of here.

The workings of the Sahib's mind
are a deep, dark mystery.

Yeah. Marmy's too.

$3 million tossed away,
and they sing!

And we nearly had it
right in our hands,

if the Sahib had been
content with three million.

But no. He had to have
that extra $4,500.

And get us in a jam besides.

Rick, did you
say good-bye to Adela?

Saying good-bye to $3 million
was all the good-bye I could stand.

I just wish we knew
what we're going to do now.

I've never been so hungry
in my life!

By the way, didn't I see you
with a new ring on last night?

I thought perhaps
when we got on the train,

we might be able to swap it
for a couple of chops.

Oh, that ring wasn't mine.
I just borrowed it for the evening.

Too bad.

What's the matter with us, anyway?
Why can't we ever own anything?

Nobody ever owns anything
except nice, dull people.

And they always get on to us
sooner or later.

Yeah, we're too well-dressed.

Hmm. That won't last long.

I doubt if there's a dressmaker
left in Paris who'll stake us anymore.

Marmy will always find you
clothes somehow, don't worry.

Bravo. Bravo.

He thinks we're sweethearts.

- Rick?
- What?

Did you ever know anybody
who married for love?

I mean where... where somebody
who didn't have any money

married somebody
who didn't have any money.

What did you say they married for?

Well, for love. You know.

No.

No.

Do you think people like that
are ever happy?

Anything particular in mind?

Oh, no, no.
I was just thinking.

Well, there's Marmy and Sahib.
They seem happy enough,

and I can't think when
they've ever had any money.

Oh, they're different, though,
poor darlings.

How?

Oh, both a little barmy.

I mean just normal people,
people who work for a living.

What are you getting at?
What's happened to you, anyway?

Why? What do you mean?

What are you
getting so soft about?

Soft? Well, I don't know
what you're talking about.

It's only... only...

Only what?

Only... I didn't even say good-bye.

Oh, you're not in love
with that Scotsman, are you?

Oh, how could I
be in love with him?

He hasn't any money!

Then I can't think
what you have to cry about.

Neither can I!

I wonder how long
it takes a person to starve to death?

Just depends. I've known some
to drop off in a fortnight.

Who do you think will last longer,
Marmy or Sahib?

Oh, Marmy.

I think the Sahib will.
He's more optimistic.

Well, Marmy's tougher.

The Sahib's a better bluffer, though.

He'll overplay his hand
like he does his cards,

and he'll be dead
before he knows it.

This way, sir.

Police. Cheating at cards.
Fortune hunters.

Bengal Lancers.

- Oh.
- Oh!

Oh!

- Come here.
- Why... why, hello, Duncan.

Where did you come from?

And don't try to be offhand with me,
George-Anne. I'm very, very angry.

I had to take
a flying machine to catch you,

and I cannot afford to hire
flying machines to chase you about.

Well, nobody asked you
to chase me about.

You're a daft
and undependable female.

Don't you dare judge me
that way, Duncan Macrae.

Stand still and listen to me.

We're going to be married
to each other.

We're not going to be
married to each other.

I don't care if your father
does cheat at cards.

- I forgive you.
- You forgive me?

Your brother's
a worthless fortune hunter,

but I forgive you because you're
only daft, and I can cure you.

You can't cure me. I mean...
I'm just as worthless as they are.

You're not. You're a good girl,
and you promised to marry me.

- Yes. And you know why?
- Why?

Because if Richard married Adela,

we would've had $3 million, and we all
could've lived on it. That's why.

- You're hysterical, woman.
- I'm not hysterical. L...

l... I'm just hungry.

Oh, I'm... I'm very sorry.
Come along. I'll get you some dinner.

All right. I'll go get
Marmy and Sahib and Richard...

What?!

Dine with that family?
I wouldn't be seen dead with them.

And I wouldn't be seen
dead with you,

even if I were starving.

All right, you don't have to.

All right. Well,
don't follow me about.

- Just go away and leave me alone.
- Aye, once and for all.

Won't you come in?

It's... it's Ionely at night,
isn't it?

Yes.

I don't like
to see night come. Do you?

Well, I don't think I ever notice.

You're so young.

When you're old,
night comes too soon.

Always.

You seem troubled.

- It's my mother.
- Oh.

She had to have an operation.

Oh, my dear. Tell me.

Well, she's so tired,
and the train's so crowded,

there's no room for her to lie down.

You see, we're second class.

And here I am alone
in this whole compartment.

Oh, you must bring her here.

- Could I?
- Of course.

It's all been rather difficult.
I mean, with the Sahib too.

That's my father.

He can't help much. He was gassed,
you know, in the War.

Oh, you must bring him too.

- Oh, may I really?
- Of course.

It's awfully good of you.

Oh, it's good of you
to trust me.

It's so rarely we have the privilege
of helping one another.

You try to look hungry, Rick.
She may take the hint.

You mean to say
I don't look hungry?

Oh, dear, what kind of
an operation did I have?

Any kind you like,
but don't offer to show the scar.

Don't you think Marmy ought to
lean on me? It makes me nicer.

All right. And you were gassed
in the War, you know, Sahib.

I imagine I sort of wheeze.

Here we are.

Now, don't overplay
your hands, any of you.

Trust me, my dear.

Oh... oh, how kind you are.

I don't know you, do I?

I'm a new friend.

My name is Fortune...
Miss Ellen Fortune.

Miss Fortune?

Silly name, isn't it?

Everybody makes jokes
about it. I do myself.

Fine historic name.
Not a subject for jesting.

Allow me to introduce
my wife, ma'am, my daughter...

I know.

- My son.
- How do you do?

And your servant
Colonel Anthony Carleton,

late of the Bengal Lancers.

The Bengal Lancers!

How splendid!

And yet the wretched government
refuses him a pension

and lets his family starve.

If only he hadn't gone back to the War
after that dreadful wound.

Gas, Marmy. Gas.

Gas? Gas, too, of course.

Don't be absurd, George-Anne.
Did you think I had forgotten?

"If I have a breath left
to give my country," he used to say.

He's never been right since.

And then your operation
on top of everything.

Yes, and so expensive, too.

But they would
take me to the Riviera.

Now, Marmy, you know it isn't good
for you to talk so much.

Don't overdo it.

It meant selling our little house

and poor Richard
coming down from Oxford.

The most brilliant man
of his year, they said.

Didn't they, darling?

I don't care what they said.

I don't care that for Oxford,

just as long as
you're all right, Marmy.

If you could only force yourself
to eat something, Marmy.

In Little Women, the children
call their mother Marmy.

I think the name does suit me.

I don't know where
the absurd children got it.

"Sahib," of course,
means "genteel" in India.

The children were born there,
poor darlings,

somewhere in the Himalayas.

A dreadful place, what with
the ayahs and the whatnots

howling around in the...
whatever you call them.

Marmy, are you sure you couldn't
force yourself to eat something?

Oh, no. It would choke me,
I'm sure it would.

Oh.

Would it help if I
ate something with you?

It might. I'd do anything
to please you, dear boy.

I think we should all
make the effort.

If Marmy should see us all eating,
it might tempt her, hmm?

Of course,
you'll be our guest, ma'am.

Oh, no, no, please.

This is my compartment.

I insist...
you must be my guests.

So often I've tried
to imagine parties like this,

when I might be with friends...

celebrating with them
on birthdays...

My little girl's going to have
a birthday this year.

Let's say it's
her birthday now, tonight.

Just 20-odd years ago today,

somewhere in dear old Ireland...

If I had thought 20-odd years ago

that my little girl would come out
in a French railway carriage...

We're pretending it's her birthday.

If I had pretended
20-odd years ago

that my little girl would be born
in a French railway carriage...

Can I help you, darling?

If I had pretended
20-odd years ago

that I would give birth
to a little French railway carriage,

egad, I'd have shot myself!

You must forgive the Sahib.

He lives in a little world
all his own.

What fun!
You're all so young.

So young in heart!

Like John Dickey.

Won't you have some champagne
with us, Miss Fortune?

What a shame!

Oh... oh, forgive me.

I was just thinking of the hundreds
of bottles in the big house at home,

just gathering dust.

- Really, ma'am?
- Hundreds of bottles?

But, dear, I'm not going to think
of that Ionely old house now.

This is the first
real party I've ever had.

All my life, I've had to live quite simply.

And now that I have money enough
to do everything I want, I...

I really don't quite know
how to start.

And you're traveling alone, ma'am?

Yes. Yes, I'm quite alone.

Oh, I've seen many lovely things
on this little jaunt,

but I've had to see them alone.

And after all, we see them best really
through the eyes of those we love.

Wasn't it Rossetti who said
something like that somewhere?

"Beauty, without the beloved...

...is a sword through the heart."

Why, I don't remember.

So you see,

this has been
a rather sad journey...

until now.

You've made this my happiest day.

Delighted.

Pleasure's all ours, my dear lady.

I raise my glass, for the first time
in my life, gladly to Miss Fortune.

The train seems
to have caught on fire.

I wouldn't lie around in there
too long if I were you.

Come on.

Where is she?

She's dead.

She isn't dead.
Why, I don't think she's even hurt.

Well, l... I thought for a moment...

Poor old gal.
Come on, let's get her out of here.

- Can you carry her?
- Give me a hand.

You're sure
you're not hurt, my dear?

I don't think so, Sahib.

I don't know how you're
supposed to feel after a train wreck.

Cold wind!

Rather.

See if you can find
some whiskey for her.

Keep her warm
until I get back.

Now I'll probably die
of pneumonia!

Where have you been? Are you
all right? How did you get out?

On my two feet.
They're very adequate.

I pondered through the whole train
for you. If anything had happened...

What have you got there?

This is an old lady.

You're being very good to her.

I'm not. I'm...
I'm trying to keep warm.

You've given her your coat.

What of it?

Well, you'd... you'd be warmer
if you'd kept it yourself.

Will you stop trying to make me
something I'm not?

And will you please get out of here?

Why?

Now, let me tell it to you,
Duncan, and tell it to you fast...

I'm up to no good,
and you're just interfering.

Get out and leave me alone
once and for all!

Aye, once and for all.

Relief train will be here soon.

I'm glad you're safe.

If the old girl doesn't cough up something
after all we've done for her,

I shall lose my faith
in human nature.

We've been very kind to her.

We've eaten all our meals
with her and everything.

Oh, I shall
miss you all so much.

It isn't only
that you saved my life,

you've all been
so wonderful to me.

But it'll be nice for you to get
back to your lovely big home

and see all your friends again.

I haven't any friends
or relatives, George-Anne.

They're all gone.

Oh, I'm sorry.

But didn't I hear you mention
a Mr. Dickey?

John Dickey. Yes.

In America once,
when I was a young girl...

a long time ago, George-Anne...

I was engaged to John Dickey.

Oh, George-Anne,
I was so young.

I hadn't learned
the meaning of faith.

One day, someone told me
John Dickey loved someone else.

We quarreled, and I've spent
my whole life regretting that quarrel,

hoping that sometime,
some way,

I would hear from him again.

And when I did, it was to learn
that he'd gone to England,

made a fortune, and died alone,

leaving everything to me.

Oh, George-Anne, one must have
faith in the people one loves.

One must have faith...

or go through life alone.

I'm sorry you're so alone.

George-Anne.

Yes, Sahib?

We'll be in port
in a few minutes, my dear.

You'd better finish
whatever you have to do.

Oh, I wish something...

I wish there were some way we
could see you sometimes in London.

George-Anne!

Oh, no, you couldn't,
that Ionely old house.

George-Anne, you couldn't come
and stay with me,

all of you, and be my guests
for a little while?

Well, I don't know
what the Sahib would think.

- He hates so to impose on people.
- But it wouldn't be imposing.

- I'll ask him.
- Will you?

I'll try to persuade him.

I'd love to come,
just to be with you.

Miss Fortune,
it's good to see you.

Mr. Anstruther.
How nice of you to be here.

Not at all, Miss Fortune.

It's a great pleasure to
have you back safe and well.

This is Mr. Felix Anstruther,

Mr. Dickey's friend and lawyer,
and mine.

These are my friends,
the Carletons.

These children
saved my life in the wreck.

I'm sure I'm most grateful
to them for that.

And now they've promised to stay here
with me just as long as they can.

Really?
Here in this house?

Miss Fortune seemed Ionely,

and we thought we might
stay with her a few days.

That's very considerate of you,
I'm sure.

Now I'm afraid
I must leave for my train.

Well, well.
Where are you off to?

Paris first.

I was thinking I might need a lawyer
myself pretty soon to manage my affairs.

- 'We're close.'
- 'Close. How close?'

'We've been hearing
that for months.'

'Very close. I'm right
on top of this'

'and I know for a fact
that Solly is interested'

'in the California Dolls.'

You better not be
making this up, Harry.

Why would I make it up?
Look at it this way.

If Solly wasn't interested
in The Dolls

we wouldn't have the date
in the first place.

Now we're getting
a new price.

- Five big ones.
- Alright.

- Five big ones?
- Five big ones.

You got a cigarette?
I want one.

You don't change, do you?

I ask the question.
If something's perfect

why would you change it?

Well, Mr. Perfect, we got
to stop because now I'm out.

I wish you two
would stop smoking.

'It's really bad
for your health.'

'You think we got it tough?'

'How'd you like
to work in there?'

Alright, tell me, Earl,
what's the deal.

Oh, well, you'll be fighting
the local champs.

The creatures from
the Black Lagoon.

I came up with that name
myself, ladies.

- Oh.
- That is very catchy.

Thank you.
It's all for a worthy cause.

This year, we're gonna
add a rec room

onto the American
Legion Hall.

- No kidding.
- Yeah.

You'll be surprised
how ping pong

can add some fun
to an old soldier's life.

- Oh I bet.
- Right this way.

Come on ladies, this way.

The Ladies Auxillary pitched in
and painted the benches.

All I want know is,
where's the ring.

Oh, no ring?

You're gonna wrestle
in that mud hole over there.

- Mud hole?
- 'Oh, yeah.'

'It's become an annual
highlight of the carnival.'

'Ah, by the way, I do
a little joke every year.'

I come out before
the bout, and I say

"Now, girls, I want
a good, clean fight."

'See, the fight's in mud.'

That always gets a good
laugh from the crowd.

I came up with
that line myself.

Yeah, well you can do
something else by yourself.

Think about it. Come on, Mol,
let's get the hell outta here.

- Ah!
- Creep.

- Did-did you see--
- Alright, just relax.

I'm gonna take care
of everything.

That's no way to talk
to a Lieutenant Governor

of the Kiwanis Club.

- Alright, relax girl.
- Where the hell have you been?

Relax, come on, calm down. Hey!

Calm down. It's a little mud,
it'll wash off.

What about the embarrassment?
That doesn't wash off so easy.

Do you think that I knew that
you're gonna fight in mud?

- Yes.
- Seriously?

This is a career move.

Rolling in mud is a career move?

Very important. Because it
establishes a new price for us.

We can point to a contract. We
got it here in black and white.

We're getting $500 a night.

- For...get it.
- No one's gonna see you.

And now really,
look at this dump.

Who's here?

Trust me, girls. It's not gonna
be on the Wide World of Sports.

We're not going into the goddamn
mud pit, and that's it!

I'm not turning myself
into a sideshow freak

for you or anybody else.

- No way.
- Hey!

Every time you walk into
the ring, you're a freak.

And that's what a wrestler is.

You didn't sign up
to be the Queen of England

so get off your high horse.

'So you jump
in a little mud. Big deal!'

'You're costing us five bills.'

- 'Five! F-I-V-E.'
- We're not interested, Harry.

Not today, not tomorrow,
not ever.

E-V-E-R, ever.

Ladies, you wanna pay..

Ladies, you're not paying
attention. Only two in the ring.

- You out.
- You in.

Oh, my god, no.

'Somebody help him.'

I never knew you
were a party crasher.

Merle.

Merle, there is mud in your eye.
There is some mud in your eye.

'I can't tell Merle from the
girls. Gosh, look at this man.'

- Evelyn, honey, I'm sorry.
- Forget it, Merle.

'Looks like he's gonna sleeping
on the couch tonight, I think.'

'This is a business where you
got a plenty of hard knocks.'

'As a matter of fact, here's a
couple of pretty good knockers.'

'Ladies and gentlemen,
everything you're seeing here'

'is absolutely real,
you don't think this is real'

'take a look
under those T-shirts.'

'Wait a minute, you're
gonna miss the best part.'

'The best is yet to come.
Don't leave yet.'

'And there they go.
My god, look at this.'

'Ladies and gentlemen, you're
seeing it all right here.'

- 'They're at it again.'
- Mr. and Mrs. Cobel.

Oh, my god, we're
losing the seniors.

'Lady, can I be
the mud in your life.'

Oh, shit!

You know what, I never
told you this, Merle.

But you are an asshole.

'Oh, man, look at them jugs!'

'Roll all over again.'

'That's it, yeah.'

'Look at them boobies,
they're in the dirt.'

'Car should be ready
at 7 o'clock.'

'Thanks for the lift.'

'Thanks again.'

That lip is still bleeding.
Let me take a look.

Don't touch me.

You've already caused enough
trouble for one day.

- I'm gonna clean up next door.
- Sure.

Get the hell
outta my way!

Goddammit! Open the door!
Get out here and open the door!

'Iris, you got to do
something about that lip.'

'Quit playing Dr. Kildare,
open the door, and let me in.'

Iris, that thing is wide open.
Let me clean it up.

Will you just leave me alone?
Okay, just leave me alone.

I hate your guts, Harry.
I hate everything about you.

I can't stand
the sight of you anymore.

You're fired. Get the hell out.
Get the hell outta my life.

You're a lousy lover,
you're a lousy manager.

And you're a lousy human being.

Now, that really hurts.

I am not a lousy manager.

This is all your fault, Harry.
None of this woulda happened

if it wasn't for you.

You did this to me. You
turned me into a freak today.

They were laughing at me, Harry,
they were laughing at me.

And it was all your fault.
You know what you are, Harry?

You're a low life.
A lousy, stinking low life.

Loser, loser, loser,
loser, loser.

Ah.

Alright, sweetie. Alright.

Harry, they laughed at me.

I..

I can take anything
but them laughing at me.

Why did you
let them laugh at me?

They never laughed
at you, sweetheart.

- Yes, they did.
- No.

They're just trying
to have a good time.

Here, let me get that.

Why do you?

Why do you
always have to hurt me?

I don't know.

No, I don't know.

Well..

There's blood,
all over your face.

Yeah, don't make
any difference.

Oh, hold me, Harry.

I've needed you so long.

I want you, Harry...now.

'Says here that Superstar
and Big Mama are going'

'to battle it out
for the world championship.'

Wow, 25 grand to the winner
and 10 grand to the loser.

- Not bad for a night's work.
- No kidding.

I once saw
Big Mama in L.A.

She's so big all she'd do is
sit on you, and it's all over.

That Superstar
is no slouch either.

- Should be a pretty good match.
- When's it gonna be?

Oh, I don't know,
it doesn't say.

Wait a minute, yes it does.
The Christmas show in Reno.

Hey, there's a story
in here about us you guys.

"One of the hottest tag teams
on the circuit today are

"the gorgeous California Dolls,
who seem unbeatable

"everywhere they appear
and are definitely

the rising stars
of the wrestling world".

They got the gorgeous part
right. What else does it say?

Hey, It's got our pictures too!

Look at this, take a look.
We're stars!

- My picture in there?
- No.

That's right. Harry.
We're stars.

We look a lot
better than that.

Well, It's an old picture.

Yeah.

They've even got us ranked.

We're number three
tag team in the country.

Who's number one?

The champs, dummy,
the Toledo Tigers.

Then it's the Amazon Queens.

'This is it, we finally
made the big time.'

- 'What about it, Harry?'
- 'What about what?'

'Why do I have to do
all the thinking around here.'

'This is the break,
we've been waiting for.'

'Talk to Solly. If you can
get us on as the opening match'

'in Reno, we'll have it made.'

Think of all
the publicity.

- Give me the magazine.
- Here's what we gotta do.

One, I gotta call Solly.

Two, I get Solly
to see the article

the picture and the rankings.

What we really need now is
some bucks for some publicity.

'Unfortunately, in the words
of Toulouse-Lautrec'

'"I'm a little short."'

But, your suggestion is very
good. I'm not ignoring that.

Thank you.

Alright. There's a phone.
I'll call Solly.

Don't forget to tell Solly,
about the magazine, page 87-88.

Yeah, yeah. Don't worry.
Page 87-88.

- We'll pick up a few things.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

If it's on sale,
I need toothpaste.

- Okay.
- Aquafresh.

'Okay.'

- But only if it's on sale!
- Alright, alright!

Wow, a drive-through
super market.

Fascinating business.

Now this is really a great idea.

Solly, Harry Sears.
Gee, I'm glad I got you, Solly.

Listen, something came up.
Very important.

- In this week's issue--
- Don't you every say hello?

We'll say hello later.
First I wanna talk.

Now hear me out on this, Solly.
Very important.

- In this week's issue--
- I saw it.

- I'm talking about the spread.
- I saw it.

Oh, you saw it on the Dolls?
Page 87 and 88 with a picture.

I saw it for God sake.

Well, listen, Solly.
That's an old picture, you know.

- They look even better now.
- 'I like the picture.'

Yeah, I like it too.
It's a hell of a picture.

Here is the thing, Solly.
Do yourself a favor.

Hold all calls and give me
your undivided attention

for two minutes.

Wednesday night, standard rate.
Take it or leave it.

- We'll take it.
- 'Main event.'

Oh, listen, Solly,
on the billing there--

Well?

Oh, wasn't easy.

Had to push
a lotta buttons.

Oh, people like Solly,
they're murder

you gotta wear 'em down.

Well, what's that
supposed to mean?

Chicago, Chicago..

'Who are we up against
tomorrow night.'

'Solly didn't say.
But it's the main event.'

'So, whoever it is,
it's not gonna be easy.'

'Look, who knows,
it might even be the Tigers.'

'If it is, they're gonna
be out for your blood.'

'Don't be fooled
by the last time.'

'Those girls are brutal. And
for god sakes, listen to me.'

'Keep practicing
those sunset flips.'

'Harry, would you just
leave the wrestling to us.'

'Let's stay at
a first class place?'

- 'Something special.'
- 'That's a good idea.'

'We'll stay at Al's
Motor Lodge in Skokie'

- 'Every floor has ice machine.'
- 'Thanks a lot, Diamond Jim'

'I hate to be the one to
remind you. Luxury costs money.'

'I'm sick of staying at those
roach motels you keep finding.'

- 'Yeah.'
- 'You girls are excited.'

'You wanna go first class.
That's understandable.'

'Just remember, those frills..'

'...cost money.'

'Harry, you always keep
playing that same number.'

- 'Is that your favorite?'
- 'Yeah. What's he saying?

'I mean, what's he singing?'

'Well, you see
that's Pagliacci.'

'He is kind a like
a strolling player.'

'He goes from town to town
entertaining people.'

- 'So?'
- 'So, sometimes it isn't easy.'

- 'Sometimes he gets down.'
- 'And?'

'And that's why he is like us.'

'He gotta keep going.
Gotta keep trying.'

'Gotta hang in there
even if his heart is breaking.'

'Oh!'

- You got her.
- 'Like hell.'

You got her. Hey, it's over.

'Now was that body, was that--'

'Now put some pressure on it.
Put some pressure.'

'Watch that choke
watch that choke.'

'Watch that choke.'

She tried to choke me.

- Ah.
- 'Okay girl.'

- What are you kicking her for?
- I'm not.

Now, don't let her
do that to you. Come on, get up.

No problem, baby. You got her.
You got her, honey. You got her.

- Count.
- One, Two.

Alright. Alright.
That's the way to do it.

'Programs, programs.
One dollar.'

'Get your programs here.'

Anything goes, sweetheart.
Beautiful.

'Programs, programs.
One dol--'

'Common, Mol.'

Take her out, June.
Take her out.

This is the big leagues,
baby. Anything goes here.

- 'You got it.'
- You gotta play rough.

'Nice ropes, goddammit.'

- 'I'll tell you one thing.
- Ropes.

That's a ropes play.

'That's for the last time.'

Come on.

'Hey, ref, this is bullshit.'

'Alright, June. Let's finish
this off. Get her, baby.'

- 'Stick it to her, June.'
- Yeah.

- 'Watch that knee.'
- 'That's illegal, ref.'

Watch that knee.
That's a choke! Choke!

One, two, break that hold.
Break that hold.

'Break that hold.'

'Alright, don't, don't worry
don't press. Just don't press.'

'You'll be alright.'

'Watch that hair. Watch
that hair. Watch the--'

'Break that hold.
One--'

Alright, let's go home now.
Let's finish this up. Come on.

- What did I do? Huh?
- Enough.

For Christ sakes.
Put your course up.

I'll be a son of a bitch.
Are you in this fight or not?

I'll choke you, asshole.

- Come on take her out.
- Ah.

'C'mon, Diane, let's do it.'

- 'She's choking.'
- I don't care.

'Enough resisting, you asshole.
Break it up.'

Hey, you need a cage.
You're such a stupid ass.

Your blind as a bat.

- One, two, three.
- Ah, count, two.

It's alright, get her again.

- Hey ref..
- Get back to the corner.

...I'll take this cane
and shove it up your nose.

- Ah, my hair, ref.
- 'Oh, no, no, no.'

'Get back in there.
Get back to the corner.'

- Ah, my hair.
- Hold it, one..

One, two..

There are too many
girls in the ring.

'One--'

'Come on, June. Come on.'

'Watch her, Iris.'

- 'She's on the rope, ref.'
- Call it off, you son of--

'Hold. One, two--'

- Ah, June, hit her.
- Stop that.

- 'That's the way, June.'
- One, two..

Ropes, ropes. Ropes, ropes.

'Pop corn, over there.'

She's on the rope.

'Break it, ref
she's on the ropes.'

Remember the last time, baby.

- 'Don't give up..'
- One, two, three.

Now we are even, sister.

Alright.

She broke the rule.
She broke the rule.

Illegal move.

Yeah! Yeah! Whoo!

Illegal. Illegal.

No, I count her--
No, I counted her out.

- On the ropes. No.
- No, sir. No, I didn't see it.

You're a palooka!
On here, on the ropes.

Get away.
Get away from me.

- 'No, no.'
- 'I'm gonna fine you.'

'You animal! She was
on the God damn rope.'

Damn. Damn.

Yes.

'I was on the ropes.'

- We were robbed.
- No, we weren't.

We just weren't tough enough.

You look okay to me.
Just a nose bleed.

- Take a couple of aspirin.
- Alright, wait outside, Doc.

- I'll see you in a minute.
- Harry, I'll be around.

- You shoulda played dirty.
- Why don't you shut up.

No, for once I think
Harry is right.

I told you both before. But,
you don't wanna listen to me.

If you wrestle for
Big John Stanley.

You have to be pretty
darn good, number one.

Number two, you need
a better coach than anybody.

Well, then maybe we should
get Big John to manage us.

No such luck, ladies.
He only handles blacks.

'You girls decent?'

'Like you to
meet a real nice guy.'

Great, but in
the mean time, who's this?

This is my friend, Eddie Cisco.

Hey-y-y.

Move over. Slide over.
I been working all night.

Eddie, you know Harry Sears.
This is Iris and Molly.

Eddie is a promoter
and a match maker.

He also has a nice business on
the side, he rents towels.

- Hiya, Sears.
- How ya doin', Eddie?

What brought you all
the way from, Ohio?

Not my Mercedes.
Seems I developed car trouble.

Oh, that's too bad.
You oughta join the auto club.

I see you brought
The, uh, Hulk with you.

I saw your picture
in the post office.

- Ya look even better in person.
- Thank you.

Figured I drop back and take
a look at the Dolls up close.

- May be get acquainted.
- Well listen, Eddie.

Now that you had your look,
I suggest that you take a walk.

The girls wanna
get cleaned up and dressed.

Don't let me stop them.

I guess, the Tigers gave you
a rough time out there.

Well, we were out numbered.
Like three to two.

- What makes you say that?
- The ref was on their side.

This girl cracks me up.

I'm going to be
around for a few days.

Maybe, you and I
can get together?

Oh, now. I doubt that.

See, I don't mix
business with pleasure.

'Oh, by the way.'

Eddie just closed the deal
to put the Reno match together.

- The Reno match?
- 'Yeah.'

Congratulations, boss.

- 'The Christmas show?'
- We'd be perfect for that.

I'm still shopping. But, I don't
know if you girls are ready.

- What's wrong with us?
- 'Ask Babe Ruth.'

Nice to meet you, ladies.

Ah...Harry, I hope
I run into you soon.

Sears, see me before you go.

Clever, Harry. You had to pick
his car for betting practice.

I gotta hand it to you.
The Dolls are a good act.

Harry said you bought
the Toledo Tigers to open Reno.

Yeah. They're the champ.

You decided
on the other team yet?

How about...Thunder Thighs
and the Madame.

Ha ha.

Have you seen
Thunder Thighs lately?

The Thunder's been
replaced by Cellulite.

Who do you
think I should buy?

There's nobody as good as
the Dolls, and you know it.

Okay, so we looked pretty bad
up there the other night.

But we'll be ready
the next time.

You could build
it as a grudge match.

From what I've heard that's
not too far from the truth.

It'd be terrific.
You know you'd get a good show.

Let me think about it.

Why..

...why don't you
take me dancin'?

Aah.

I told you, Harry.
I don't know where she went.

Did she say who she might
be going out with?

I told you. No.

Oh, look at this.
Cinderella.

Gosh, does she look grand.

She finally came home. Must
have been a hell of a movie.

- Did you have a good time?
- Just great, Harry. Just great.

- What've you been working on?
- I thought we'd move west.

That's good 'cause that's
the direction we're heading.

It's California Dolls
against the Toledo Tigers

for the championship.

Ten thousand. Winner take all.

You were with
Eddie Cisco last night?

So what if I was?

Don't you ever
touch me again, Harry.

Boy, you are just
full of surprises, Doll.

I woulda let you
handle it, Harry

but he doesn't go
both ways. I checked that.

If you don't mind,
I'm gonna take a shower.

So will you
clear out please.

What are you looking
at me like that for?

Why did you hit her?
She only did it for us.

Did we ask her to?
I don't remember asking her to.

Look, we needed something
and she got it for us.

I guarantee you, doin' it
didn't come easy for her.

Yeah. Well, hearing about it
didn't come easy for me.

Can I tell her that?

No.

I'll have your
order in a minute, sir.

- To Reno.
- To Reno.

Now, to do this right.

And we gotta
do it right.

It's going to require
some real money.

How much is real money, Harry?

How much you got
stashed in that sock?

Almost 800.

Let me hold that
until tomorrow morning.

- Come on, man.
- Alright, this is all going.

- Okay, let it roll.
- I only live once.

- Big seven.
- Six.

Aw.

- Six.
- Hundred dollars.

- Another six. Wow.
- Yeah, try and do it again.

I'll buy the odds here.
Now, I can put 400 back here.

Can I? Alright.
So I got 400 here.

So I get...well you know
what I get on a back, don't you?

- Yeah.
- With this, I get..

- Okay.
- Hey, hey.

Okay, here we go.

- What a high.
- Six.

Six. Another six.

'Glad I followed
my horoscope.'

Alright, I'm betting then.
I'm going to bet 600.

- You got it.
- Six Hundred.

- Let her lay, we'll play.
- Ooh! Alright.

Okay. I got six stones.

- Good shooter.
- Good shooter.

- Doin' good?
- Do a seven.

Six. Unbelievable.

- Sixes are easy.
- I got my six.

One, two, three
four, five, six.

- How much do I get if I win?
- Thirty Three.

- No, 25.
- Huh.

Five. Five, no field.

Five. Looking for a six.
Three is betted hard, boys.

Oh. I'd love to make this.

Come on, baby.

'Six.'

- Another six.
- 'Pay the man.'

- Another six.
- Another six?

Quite a few sixes.

22, 23, 24
25, 20.

'600 on the line,
600 hundred behind the line.'

'Pays to you 25, 20.'

'Alright, gentlemen
I'm gonna bet..'

'...100 dollars.'

Number of gold.
Bet it hard.

Six.

- Six.
- 'Come on give us a six.'

- Six.
- 'Let's do this.'

- Unbelievable.
- 'That's awful lot of sixes.'

- Alright.
- 'Lets go, here we go.'

Lets see if we can
make another six here.

- 'Yeah, lets see that.'
- 'Lucky man.'

'I have never seen
anybody that lucky.'

I think I'll call
it a night, gentlemen.

- Call it a night?
- You did okay for a beginner.

I guess I did that.

Get those bets..

I heard a noise over there.

Maybe he's parked
around the corner.

Bum, couldn't have
gone too far.

Give me your money.
Give me your money.

Give me your money.

I think you broke my knee.
Get me a doctor.

Give me your money.

Give me your money.

You're not leavin', are ya?

Yeah. But don't
bother to get up.

'Last August, when you
put us in the tin foil'

'made us the space amazons,
I felt like a jerk, Harry.'

'Sweetie, I tried something new,
it didn't work out.'

'A creative genius needs time to
discover the winning formula.'

'Well Mr. Creative Genius.
You do understand'

'there's only about
a 1000 dollars left'

'after the tune up
and polishing the car.'

We spent almost all what you
won at that crap game, Harry.

I hope you know what you're
doing. That's a lot of money.

Trust me, cookie.
I'm goin' on instinct.

I once read that's how all
the lower life forms survive.

When are you gonna admit
you're desperate for my body?

You talk as though everything
about you is as big as your ego.

Who said it wasn't.

Secret's safe with me, Harry.

'Reno, the biggest
little city in world.'

So, are you gonna use your funny
little dice here too, Harry?

No, are you crazy?
Not in this town.

You'll be laid to rest under
Liberace's parking space.

Nothing worries Harry more than
threat of an honest crap game.

'Boy, Molly, the championship.'

'God, it's scary.'

'It's just like
our first time in the ring.'

'Holy cow, Harry, look at that.'

I told you, didn't I?

Stick with me and I'll have
your name up in lights.

Wow.

'Here's to looking at you, kid.'

'Oh, Harry, it's the end
of the rainbow.'

We finally made it.

'Alright, Girls, this is it.'

'We're fighting for the title.
We're fighting for our lives.'

'Don't let anything interfere
with your concentration.'

'And remember
those sunset flips.'

Oh, Molly, look at this.

Look at this?
There's a parade here.

Harry, where..
What did they do?

- Hey, what happened?
- It's nothing.

'This is not Al's Motor Lodge
in Skokie, you know.'

But, there's ice machines here,
huh, Harry?

That's right.
Talk about frills.

They're winning.
What's wrong with us?

- Been robbed!
- Let's go. We checked in.

Leave us alone.
We're on a winning streak.

Hey, woo, holy cow.

Ha ha.

We struck, Harry.

Alright, now you got 'em stuck?
Let 'em stay stuck!

Let's go.
Quit whining already.

- Okay, Harry, please. come on.
- Wait.

It's only nickels.

Tighten' that up, fellas.
Really pull it.

More tension.

'More, more.'

Oh. Well what do
you girls think?

Would I stay until tonight?

I think...I'll take a walk.

Alright, thanks fellas.

- What's eatin' your friend?
- Why don't you ask her.

A lot of irate managers
on the telephone when..

...they heard
the Dolls got this gig.

That's their problem.
We earned the right to be here.

Not what a lot of
other people think.

Eddie, I don't give a damn
what other people think.

And if anybody should ask,
you can tell them I said so.

I like your style.

I think we should get together
after this is over.

Just because we went
out once doesn't mean

I'm interested in
making it a habit.

- I thought we were friends.
- I guess, you thought wrong.

- Bastard.
- Bitch.

Don't think
you've hurt my feelings.

I've been called a lot worse
by a lot better people than you.

Ow.

- What's the problem?
- Nothing. It's all over.

I don't want you talking
to my girls.

You got somethin' to say,
you say it to me.

Don't push your weight,
small change.

If your girl wasn't so good in
the sack, you wouldn't be here.

Stop it! Stop it!

Do you mind. Relax.

Now look. Eddie, we all
know how we got here.

You got what you wanted
and we got what we wanted.

- So, now we're even, okay?
- We're even. Okay?

- Harry. Let's get out of here.
- Right.

I got a thousand that says your
girls can't beat the Tigers.

- All I got is 900.
- That's our last 900.

- You want to bet or not.
- You don't got a thousand?

I'll make it 900.
I'm a very charitable person.

- Who do you wanna hold the bet?
- Harry.

You hold yours,
I'll hold mine.

Might as well,
it's not going any place.

You gotta bet.

It's a pleasure taking
your money, Sears.

I don't know what a smart broad
like that sees in that jerk.

- Harry, just forget it.
- See you around, Sears.

Boss, I don't think
that was such a good bet.

Shut up, Jerome.

'Your attention please.
The MGM lion'

'is presently available for
photographs in the shopping..'

'Never seen lady
wrestling before.'

'That man gave me
a free T-shirt.'

'Would you, look at
that picture of Big Mama.'

'Nah, I think it's a tag team.'

'Yeah, like the American
Championship.'

'Those girls are beautiful.'

'I don't think
they're that pretty.'

'I think you're jealous.'

Quit givin' me a hard time
about these tickets. Come on.'

- Cisco.
- Oh, I'm sorry.

- Cisco.
- Hey, Eddie.

Big Mama wants to see ya.

What's the matter, your mother
drop you on ya head, huh?

Well, explain it to me. What the
hell is goin' on around here?

All I see since I've gotten
here is California Dolls.

California Dolls T-shirts.

California Dolls posters.

I'm the star
of this show, Eddie.

Yes, sweetheart,
you are, you are.

You, how come you never thought
of selling a poster of me?

I don't know,
I never thought of it.

You should have. Lot of
guys like voluptuous women.

Isn't that right? What do you
think of me in a wet T-shirt?

I'm working on it.

Keep workin'.

'I have a telephone call for..'

- Good luck, Harry.
- Yeah, thanks.

Come on, come on, come on..

'I have a telephone call for..'

- Good luck, Harry.
- Yeah, right.

'Merry Christmas.'

Merry Christmas, George.

'The MGM lion is presently
available for photographs..'

Put those in the bin. Hurry!

- Did somebody knock?
- 'It's Eddie Cisco.'

You go on first.

Alright, we'll be late. I want
my girls to make an entrance.

Just don't make
an exit with the 900

or else my friend might do to
you what someone did to my car.

Eddie, I don't know
what you're talkin' about.

I kinda think you do.

I'll see you ladies ringside.

Alright, girls.
Look, I've got some business.

You two get dressed.
But keep this door locked.

What's the matter, Mol?
You nervous?

Who, me?

Yeah, I never seen you
like this before a match.

Yeah, well, tonight's
a little different.

I'm working without a net.

What are you talking about?

I've been cold turkey
for two whole days.

Haven't you even noticed?

My God, Molly, I've been
so excited about the match

I never even noticed.
That's terrific.

I thought I'd see if I needed
that junk for self-confidence.

You can do it. I know you can.
You know what else?

We're gonna win tonight.
I feel it.

Well, let's hope
you're right, partner.

'Cause this is it.

Once again, number one,
back in...base.

Number three...finished.

'I have a telephone call
for Mr. Taylor.'

'Mr. Michael Taylor, please.'

'You are the champions,
and The California Dolls'

'are greedy for your title,
hungry for your money'

'and you whipped
their ass in Chicago'

'so now, they're going to be
fighting for pride as well.'

So, remember, pride,
hunger, greed

ooh, they got it all.

We want the Dolls!
We want the Dolls!

Perfect. We don't
have to do that again.

Alright, what's next?
Oh, very important.

What's in it for you kids?

Forty dollars a head.

Fair enough?

Alright. Now the song.

Very important,
here with the song.

We want everybody
to sing this song.

So look at your sheets, fellas.

I am going to give you a signal.

Hey, pay attention here.
You too.

'Cause I'm going to give you
a signal. Here's the signal.

When I go like this,
what does that mean?

Hey...what does this mean?

You don't know,
'cause I didn't tell you.

Alright, when I go like
this here, you all gonna sing.

Do it.

'Cigars, cigarettes,
cigars, cigarettes..'

And now, live from Reno, Nevada.
We're very proud

to be part of a
special sporting event tonight

in conjunction with
Spectacular Sports Incorporated.

'Hello again, everybody,
I'm Chick Hearn'

'We're ringside of the
MGM Grand Hotel here in Reno'

'and tonight,
KGIM has for you'

'not one, but two
championship wrestling bouts.

'In our main event we're going
to have Big Mama defending'

'her world women's heavy weight
wrestling championship'

'and she'll be sorely tested
tonight by Superstar.'

'In our semi-final tonight,
we're going to have'

'The North American
Tag Team Championship.'

'And that's gonna pit the
champions, the Toledo Tigers'

'against the pride
of Southern California'

'The California Dolls.'

'And speaking of
the Dolls and the Tigers.'

'They've wrestled twice before,
not for a title'

'but twice before.
Each has won a match.'

'That means this is
a grudge match, doesn't it?'

Well, tonight ladies and
gentlemen it's safe to say

that this match is
for all the marbles.

'We're getting ready, Harry.'

Let's go now to
the PA announcer.

He's gonna introduce to you
a very nice man.

'Ladies and gentlemen.'

'The MGM Grand Hotel
in Reno, Nevada'

'takes pride and great pleasure'

'in introducing you to our guest
ring announcer for tonight'

Okay, we are all set.

Defensive captain of the four
time world champion

'Pittsburgh Steelers
Mr. Joe Greene.'

'Known to many
of his opponents..'

'...as Mean Joe Greene.'

Joe, the Boys' Club
thank you a lot.

I think on or off
the football field

he represents his sport
as well as any man

in the history of football.

Two arch rivals
of Tag Team wrestling

will meet in a grudge match

to decide which team is

the North American Champions.

'Under the rules of the Nevada
Athletic Commission'

'there will be
a 30 minute time limit.'

And in the event of a draw

the Toledo Tigers
will retain their title.

Prize. $10,000.

Myron, the..

Myron, I'm the star.
They're at $10,000.

Listen, they gotta fill
up the card, you see.

- They gotta fill--
- That's some filler.

The referee for tonight's card..

...Bill Dudley.

Fighting to retain
their North American title

as the champion tag team
in a world of wrestling

from Toledo, Ohio
the toughest

the roughest pair
of street fighters

in the business,
the Toledo Tigers.

- We're number one.
- Yeah.

'We're the Champs!'

'Let's hear it
for the Toledo Tigers!'

They're out here in Reno,
Nevada tonight.

And they wanna take back those
championship belts with them.

- Will they do it?
- 'We're the Tigers.'

Plus $10,000 to Big
John Stanley, their manager.

Only time will tell.

As they make their way,
they exude absolute confidence.

'We're number one.
Yeah, yeah.'

'Woo!'

Haven't seen you
since Pittsburg.

You're looking great today.

Watch my girls, they're gonna
burn down this place tonight.

- Yes, indeed.
- See ya.

Do you like the Tigers?
Are we number one?

The challengers from
Los Angeles, California.

The hottest tag team
in the country.

The best looking girls
in the ring today.

The California Dolls.

We want the Dolls.

We want the Dolls.

We want the Dolls.

We want the Dolls.

The California Dolls.

We want the Dolls.

We want the Dolls.

We want the Dolls.

We want the Dolls.

We want the Dolls.

Something odd going on here,
ladies and gentlemen.

Joe Greene introduced the
California Dolls some time ago.

Especially when you're on TV
when you get that introduction

you're supposed to come down
and get into the ring.

But they have not
made an appearance.

Have not hit the ramp
into the ring.

Oh come, Myron,
what's the delay?

I haven't got all night
Get 'em on. Where are they?

'Where could the Dolls be?'

'Knowing Harry Sears, this
could be a deliberate delay'

'trying to get the
champion's goat.'

We want the Dolls.

'I tell you this, if it's
staged, it's having an effect.'

'A few minutes ago
the champions were kidding'

'with the people
around ring side.'

'Now, ladies and gentlemen
they're not kidding at all.'

'They are mad.'

- Where are the dolls?
- They're chicken.

All I got to tell
you right now is

I think the champions
have been upstaged.

'They look pretty tough.'

'And mean.'

That's right, and mean.

We want the Dolls.

We want the Dolls.

We want the Dolls.

'We want the Dolls.'

? Oh, you beautiful Dolls ?

? You great big
beautiful Dolls ?

? Let me put my arms
around you ?

? I could never
live without you ?

? Oh, you beautiful Dolls ?

? You great big
beautiful Dolls.. ?

? You great big
beautiful Dolls ?

? Let me put my arms
around you.. ?

It's unbelievable,
ladies and gentlemen.

Dazzling costume.

- They look pretty good..
- You bet your ass.

Dolls do look
pretty good, boss.

Shut up, Jerome.

? If you'd ever leave me,
how my heart would ache ?

? I want to hug you,
but I fear you'd break ?

? Oh! Oh!.. ?

- Sing kids.

Sing your little hearts out.
You're worth every penny.

'Yeah!'

- Rhinestones.
- Yeah!

Yeah, with those wings, they
look like virgin vampires.

I see it, but I
don't believe it.

'Yeah! Those girls suck!'

? If you ever leave me,
how my heart would ache ?

? I want to hug you,
but I fear you'd break ?

? Oh, oh, oh, oh ?

? Oh, you beautiful Dolls ?

Well, I'll get your
knee pack.

They love you.

- You gotta get those wigs off?
- Oh, yeah.

This is ridiculous,
Get 'em off, already.

The outfits were
just sensational.

Yeah. Gotta spend
money to make one.

You talk about a
choreographed entrance.

'Can't wrestle in that.'

I'm not gonna drink
this light beer anymore.

Get me a real beer?

I want a clean fight.
No punchin'.

'Everybody clear on that?'

'Now, ladies. If you're
fouled inside the ring

'you get a count of five.'

'Outside the ring but on apron,
a count of ten.'

'Outside on the floor,
a count of 20.'

Is that understood?

Now, managers..

...let's get this shit off
of our girl's faces, alright?

This a wrestling match,
it's not a vaudeville show.

How do I see if they're cut with
all that crap on their faces?

Let's go. You got 30 seconds.

And this crowd really
getting behind it

getting with it here
in Reno, Nevada, now.

There's only one way
you gonna win, tonight.

That's if you want it
more than they do.

Just play it straight
and keep cool.

We're the better team.

And remember,
you gotta beat 'em.

If it's a draw,
they're still champs.

Win or lose,
I love you both.

But we come too far to lose.

Go get 'em.

- And whatever happens..
- It's gonna happen.

Referee, Bill Dudley,
says wrestle.

'Okay.'

'No problem. Not the end
of the world.'

Yeah.

'That'll be a start.'

'Oh-ho, what a beginning.'

Beautiful, honey.

Alright, shift.

- 'Come on..'
- You were never better, honey.

Get her, Molly,
get her.

- Get back in there, Molly.
- Is this exciting?

'I'd pay to see this,
and I'm cheap.'

Get up, Diane.

- Diane, get up.
- Let it all hang out.

- Watch that choke, Doll..
- That's it.

'Toledo Tigers. My ass.'

Holy moly. What a move.

Alright, now stop
grandstanding. Let's wrestle.

- Watch that choke underneath.
- Don't choke.

- Shut up.
- Ref, she's choking her.

'How long you been dead?'

Ah!

One more time baby.

Hey, they're both
in there!

June and Diane,
both in there..

Now, the Tigers are winning.
Now, they'll kill 'em.

Get out, I say. Hey, Manager.
You gotta get one of these..

One, two..

Hey, this is bullshit. There's
too many girls in the ring.

Girls, you know
better than that.

They set up London bridge.

- Ow.
- Ow.

The London bridge
comes tumblin' down.

Oh, God.

What are you doing?
Making a circus out of this?

'This is the greatest fight
in history.'

Out.

'Smart guy, huh?'

'That's the way.
We'll show them.'

Watch her hair, Tiger.

Not the end of the world.
Don't rush.

Where's your pompom?

Get this man a pompom.
He's the promoter.'

Let's stop grandstanding.
Let's wrestle.'

How'd you like it
so far, Ed?

'Hey, Eddie,
no pompoms?'

'Push out of it, June.'

'Choke hold, ref. Choke hold!'

- That's a choke.
- No choke.

'Look at this.'

- Oh!
- 'Oh!'

'Oh, take your breath away.'

Oh. Hey, look at that.

Take her out, honey.
You got her.

'She got her now.'

'She'll take her out, now.'

- 'Oh, shit.'
- 'Come on, Molly.'

'Get up.'

That hurt Molly. She hit
the deck very, very hard.

- Ha-a-air.
- I'll call it, I'll call it.

'Okay, send her home, baby,
send her home.'

And lookie here.
Fasten your seatbelts.

It's the airplane ride.

Look for the landin' strip.
This is one hell of a fight.

Molly rolls right into June
and reversed that airplane spin

'into a possible pin.'

'Roll out.'

Hey, ref, Hey, Bill.

'What's your name?
Bill or Phil?'

'What's the difference?
How long ya been dead?'

One, two, three.

'Look out, June.'

One, two..

You're robbin' us.

Everybody's so calm.

What do you mean calm.
Get back in that corner.

And referee Dudley's stuck.

It looked like he had a chance
to go for the third cap.

That's exactly
what Iris is hollerin'.

Get off the ropes!

Watch it, ref,
she's on the ropes!

'Finish her off, Diane.'

'Diane's using a double eye..'

'She's gouging her eyes.'

'That's it, Diane.
Don't stop now.'

'Pin her, Diane.
Pin her.'

Come on, are you mute?
Call it, you dog.

- Get in the corner.
- 'Get her, Diane.'

'Ha-a-air.'

Call it.

What's going on here?

'Ref, she's stamping
on her hair.'

Hey, call it,
would you?

It's beginning to stink here.

'Hey, ref, I know a fish
when I smell one.'

Here's a great wrestling hold.

Diane has Molly in a
figure four head scissors.

That's ropes, God damnit.

And the referee is more now
intent on arguing with Harry

the manager of
the California Dolls

and Iris over in the corner
than he is refereeing the match.

Manager, get down.
Get down from there.

Get down!
I don't give a damn!

There's a lot of money
involved here.

Sears is up screaming.
He's got a five down.

He's got to get down those steps
or face disqualification.

- Break it up.
- She's hanging on the rope.

- Do your job.
- Get out.

You bonehead! I'll tell you.
Don't come over here

I'll take this bag.
I'll shove it right up your ass.

- Choke! Choke!
- Not a choke. No, not a choke.

Watch it.

Go get her, baby.
Go get her.

Careless.

The crowd sees what you're
doing. It's not a secret.

And so does your mother.

Some of the fans have started
yelling for the dark suited

Toledo Tigers, early in the
evening have now switched

their allegiance over to the
white-clad California Dolls.

Get over there.
Get in that corner.

Go.

The California Dolls
asserting themselves now.

That a way, Molly.

'Get up, June.
Roll out!'

Count, you son of a bitch.

He could've tapped them out
four or five times.

Hey, you son of a bitch,
that's bullshit.

'What's going on here?'

We had the fight.
The fight was ours.

Boy, that guy, Dudley.
I don't know about him.

I'm getting suspicious myself,
but that's not for me

I guess, to allege.

Just scared.

- 'What's that ref up to?'
- I don't know what he's doing.

Okay.
Oh, shit.

You got to get up, Molly.

Watch the fight, you monkey.

'June hits Molly with a
punishing clothesline.'

'Down she goes.'

Ah!

She's out.

'Hair! Call it.
Call it, you monkey!'

'Come on, June.
Finish her off.'

You baldhead, the kid
is getting killed in there.

- 'Her hair.'
- Hair! Call it.

'Over here, baby.
Bring her to me!'

What's going on?
You buy the referee?

No way, baby, no.
Uh-uh.

Smells bad to me, John.

This fight is fixed.
No way to win.

Just knock the referee
on his ass.

Son of a bitch has..
Yeah, okay.

Knock the shit out of the
referee. You'll get yours.

- One, two..
- Don't forget.

I'll tell you,
don't come here

I'll take this bag.
I'll shove it up your ass.

You alright?

She stepped back.

Iris missing that
second dropkick

and down goes Iris
on her wallet.

- 'Hey, John. Hey, John.'
- 'That's right. Finish her.'

- 'John, is this on a level?'
- 'I don't even know the bum.'

Hair hair hair,
you freak, hair.

'Get back in that corner.
I say, get back in that corner.'

Oh, they placed Iris up on there
like a cadaver on a slab.

A two hand slam
to the midsection.

You get a chance, you go hit
that referee flat on his ass.

You're going to get yours, pimp.

Get back in the corner.
Get back in the corner.

Molly, fighting
back this time.

She's a raging hellcat
over there.

- Stay in the corner.
- Let me go in.

'Let me in.'

Iris, I think
is totally out now.

'Break it up.
She can't breathe.'

One, two..

Can't you see
what's going on?

Diane and June have Iris
in on a leg choke.

Sometimes, this is called
the old rockin' horse

and sometimes it's used
for submission.

'You just can't breathe.'

'Harry, make them stop!
I can't stand it.'

Only 15 minutes left,
ladies and gentlemen. And Iris..

That's the best
you looked all night.

Watch that fight, you junkie.
Watch that fight.

'Enough is enough, you asshole.
Break it up.'

Alright, tag up.

'Hang in there, Iris,
hang in there.'

Call it, you monkey.
Come on. Give me a break.

'Would you gimme a call?'

'This is a disgrace. This is
entirely a goddamn disgrace.'

One, two..

Come on, baby.

They've got the referee pinned.

They playing yankee doodle dandy
with his head.

Get along, baby.

Yeah. That's right.

You want water? A pillow?

How about another
shot in the ass?

That's the answer, Iris.
Knock the shit out of him.

'Diane..'

Ladies and gentlemen,
it's chaotic.

Oh, at the keister bout.

Oh-h.

Stay on the ropes.

Watch those ropes.

Damn right,
you son of a bitch..

Forget the rope.
Get out of there.

California Dolls.

'Let's hear it
for The Dolls.'

- Don't double dribble her.
- We're back in the fight.

I would say 75%
of this throng now

is for the white-suited
California Dolls.

No, don't do it again.
Please don't.

Don't do it.

'Take her out'

Come on, tag up.
Tag.

You blind son of a bitch.

Go get her, Iris.

Tag up. You wanted it hot.
You want..

You wanted a brawl? Alright.

Get out of there. Ow!

The Dolls appear to have taken
things in their hands.

They're lambasting referee
Bill Dudley every chance.

What the..
Oh!

- 'What are you doing?'
- You wanted a brawl? Fine.

'Get your hands off
my wrestler.'

You want a..

You want a brawl.
We'll turn it into a massacre!

Anybody with
a weak heart, leave.

Watch that elbow.

Out of the ring.
Get out of the ring.

The crowd is going berserk.

'The California Dolls have
picked up followers'

'from the minute
this fight started.'

Stay away from 'em.
We got time on our side.

Let go of me, ref.
Let go of me.

Ow!

Time running out.
We tie, we lose.

Ref, she's got my hair.

Goddamn suckers.

One, two, three..

Do it again. Hit 'em!
That's it!

Under 2 minutes to go
in this championship bout.

It's at a fever pitch!

- 'Interference here.'
- Iris!

Fourteen.

A startling development.

All four wrestlers are outside
the ring, failing away.

Ouch. June, just
slam-dunked Iris

and Iris comes up bloody.

Three, two..

You're hopeless,
you son of a bitch.

...11, 12..

- One..
- Not anymore! Not anymore!

'...three'

'four'

Alright.

We got 'em.

Seven.

We can still win this thing.
Got over a minute.

'Get 'em again.
Take 'em out.'

And The Dolls are catapulted
off the apron

by a double shoulder butt.

- 'One, two..'
- Yeah.

Less than a minute to go.

'...four..'

'Iris..'

'Oh, God, she's bleeding.'

'They fought against
sunset flips.'

Oh-h! A double sunset flip.
I don't believe it.

'Count, you son of a bitch.'

- Either one or both?
- I don't give a shit. Count.

The referee doesn't
know what to do.

Kids, count!
One, two, three..

One, two, three.

'One, two, three.'

'One, two, three.'

'One, two, three.'

'One, two, three.'

'One, two, three.'

'One, two, three.'

'One, two, three.'

Total happiness
in Reno, Nevada.

You can't get away with this.
I'm gonna protest.

Ha ha ha.

There were too many
people in that--

'I know. There's nothing
we can do about it.'

They looked pretty good.

Coach, you alright?

Alright, you were the champions
three minutes ago

and you gonna be the champions
three months from now.

Now, behave like it. Go over
there and congratulate 'em.

Go on.

'Oh, God, Iris,
I can't believe it.'

Congratulations.

Thank you.
You're wonderful wrestlers.

We are the best! Champions!
We did it! We did it!

What a night!
What a fight!

The winners...and new tag team
champions of North America..

...The California Dolls.

Thanks, Joe.
