Hop in, pard. - Where you goin'?

Vegas! Come on.

This is your lucky day.

You can sit a little bit closer if you want.

It was a bad idea. - Chill! Ok?

I'm chilled. I sure am glad you're gonna be such good company.

Jesus saves! I don't like garth Brooks.

Me neither. I don't know anybody that likes him.

You gonna keep that thing open all the way to Vegas?

You got a name?

I'll just pull over and you can get out. I've been drivin' all the way from Kansas,

I'm tired. And I ain't in the mood to get myself pig-stuck

for doin' somebody a favor! Ok? So I'll just pull on over.

Hey! All right?

So... you got a name?

I'm Jeff. - Nomi.

What kinda name is that? My mom was Italian.

Italian, hm? You one of those mafia girls? That's why you got your blade?

So what are you goin' to Vegas for? Win? I'm gonna dance.

You gonna be one of them real, like private escort dancers?

Ok, ok, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

K.b.l.d. You never go to sleep in Vegas.

There she is. You been here before?

Sure. I got an uncle. He's a host at the riviera.

You gamble? - No.

You gotta gamble if you're gonna win. I'm gonna win.

Then use some of that mafia money you got in the suitcase.

Just leave your stuff in the car. I can talk to my uncle.

See if he can help you get a job.

What? Ain't anyone ever been nice to you?

You wanna play a slot-machine? Yeah.

Here's 10 bucks. You win, we split it up.

No holdin' out on me either. I'm gonna go see my uncle.

I'll meet you right back here.

Oh, that's cool.

That's... that's been worthwile!

You should try it with silverdollars. Sure.

Come on! Fuck! Lost everything, sweetheart?

You wanna earn something? It'll take no longer than 15 minutes.

Sooner or later you must put her out.

Fuck!

Shit!

Fuck! Fuck! This wanker just did a runner! Shit!

Hey, what's going on? That's my car! Stop it!

I want my suitcase back! Go away from my car!

Oh my god! Hey! Wait! Hey!

What was in your suitcase? Nothin'. Just my stuff.

Everything I had. Fuck!

I just got here!

Welcome to Vegas.

You know anybody here?

You got any family that you can call?

I don't have any family.

Where are you from? - Back east.

From where back east?

Fuck! Different places!

Look.

You can stay with me if you need a place to crash.

It's not much. Until you get a job.

Are you hitting on me?

No.

You're not a hooker, are you? No.

No.

Andrew carver, another smash,

"walk into the wind".

Check it out! - Wow.

They're great. They're neat, huh?

They're neat. You wanna come with me? We've got this new lead.

She's really good. I gotta go to work.

Jerk, you don't have to be to work for 3 hours. What are you gonna do?

Watch TV and eat chips? - Yeah.

Where are the chips? You ate 'em, didn't you?

No, I didn't. - Yes, you did.

Yes, you did! You did, you did! Stop! Oh, come on, nomi.

You can show off your nails. They'll all be so jealous.

You think? - I think.

What am I gonna wear? Wear the dress that I made last week.

The fringe one? I'm gonna put my hair up!

We do not have time therefore. I'll hurry. I promise, I promise!

All right, you guys, let's go! Come on, you guys, we got 2 minutes!

Robes off! Ladies, how are we doin'? Annie? You're naked.

Oh, fuck you. I need Molly! Julie, what happened?

I Don' know. It just ripped. It's almost done.

Molly! They're gonna see a smiling snatch if you don't fix this g-string.

I will be right there, Annie. She wants to smile her snatch.

She probably cut that string herself. You're terrible, Julie. Ok, done.

What is that smell? It's that damned monkey act.

He feeds 'em garlic. Do you want me to go onstage without a g?

Look, I am fixing it right now, Annie! Who wants to see her snatch anyway?

I certainly wouldn't. Well, we know that, baby.

Oh, nomi! Come on! - Yeah?

Line it up! You got 4 counts of 8! Miss Connors?

Just set 'em over there. There! All right, you guys, move it!

Molly! Molly, my g! - Here!

She just should fell down the stairs! Watch it from the showroom, nomi.

Can I go up there? - Sure.

You got 2 counts of 8! What are you doin'? Let's go! Brian, move your ass! Go!

Ladies and gentlemen, the stardust proudly presents

miss cristal Connors!

We could've brought anyone into this show.

La toya, Suzanne, you name it. We wanted cristal.

Cristal Connors defines what Las Vegas is all about.

She's dazzling, she's exciting, and she's very, very sexy.

How does it feel to be back in Vegas? How did you feel about the show tonight?

It's the best show I've ever been in. I only hope I can do it justice.

You did, my dear, and you will. We're very thrilled to have you here with us.

And I'm thrilled to be here. You, too, now.

Mister karman, can we have one of you handing cristal the flowers?

like they're levitatin'. Thanks, darlin'. Ok.

You're welcome.

You were really great tonight, miss... cristal.

Thanks, darlin'. Andrew carver sent you these?

If that's what the card says, then that's who sent it.

I just love him. This is my friend nomi. She's a dancer, too.

Is she now? Yes, and she's really good.

Where do you dance at, darlin'? Um... at the cheetah.

I don't know how good you are, darlin', I don't know what it is you're good at,

but if it's at the cheetah, it's not dancin', I know that much.

You don't know shit!

Uh... I'm really sorry, miss Connors. Cristal.

I told you. - Cristal.

Your friend has nice nails. She does 'em herself.

Maybe she can do mine sometime.

Hey! Hey, nomi!

I work here, ok? I need my paycheck.

I do not want her to be pissed at me.

I'm s orry I

I'm sorry. - Jesus, nomi.

Hey, I'll drive you to work, ok? I'm not goin'.

They'll fire you. Fuck, I don't care.

Yes, you do. - No, I don't.

Ok, let's go. - Where?

You know where.

She can dance, can't she? Yeah, she thinks she can.

I'm gonna go dance with her. Man, you can't do that. You're working!

Hey, t.C.'S gonna have your ass! T.C.'S at the riviera playin' craps.

You wanna dance? - I am dancing!

Yeah, but do you want to dance with me? Are you good?

Yeah, I'm good. I'm gonna have a drink.

Oooh! You can dance. I don't lie.

You can't. Then what am I doin'?

Teasin' my dick. You got potential, though.

I could teach you. - Yeah?

Oww! - Hey shit, man!

I'm not teasin' it now, am I? Watch it, buddy!

Hey, be cool! I'm a bouncer! You be cool, buddy!

Come on! Come on and... hey, get off me!

Nomi! - Hey, you!

What the fuck are you doing? She started it!

Fuck you, asshole! The party's over.

Malone. You're outta here.

Hey, your release papers. What's up?

Hey, I bailed you out, girl! Don't that even give me a cup of coffee?

Look, all I did was tell you I'd teach you to dance.

I don't need nobody to teach me to dance. That's because you're a badass.

Just say, "back off, motherfucker." Yeah, back off, motherfucker!

You know what? My head hurts, my dick hurts,

and you got me fired from my fuckin' job! Yeah, well, shit happens, you know?

"Shit happens." What? That's it? That's what I get? Fuckin' wisdom?

Yeah, that's it. You get wisdom. Guess what. You're not just a pain

in my head and a pain in my dick. You're also a pain in my ass.

Life sucks, you know? Did you get this stuff from tshirts?

All I want is a cup of coffee. Yeah?

Yeah!

You got a quarter? - Sure. Here.

Buy yourself a cup.

Al is pissed! He says if you miss another night... how did you get out?

I had to round up the cash. Him. He bailed me out.

How come? I kicked him in the nuts.

He liked it? - He must've.

Nomi!

Nomi, do my boobs look any bigger to you?

Carmi thinks she's pregnant again. Girl, you missed your period again?

I don't know. I don't think so. Jesus fuckin' Christ,

it's like a Japanese convention out there! Hey, mama!

Yeah. Hey, honeys. Get your "little weenie" jokes there.

This thing isn't workin' again. Come on, baby! Come on, here we go.

Come on, come on. One more time. Come on, try harder. Harder!

Yeah! - Hey!

Hey! I want you to meet hope. Hi, hope!

Ok, cut it out. Hope, this is Tiffany,

Farrah, Heather, henrietta. My name isn't hope.

My name's penny.

They want class, dum-dum. They don't want to fuck a penny.

They want to fuck a, a Heather or a, or a Tiffany.

Or a hope, huh? This is a class joint. You got that?

Henry! Gentlemen, and those few ladies out there,

what you've all been waiting for... Henrietta, queen of bazooms!

Ahhh, haaa! Ha-haaa! Ohhh!

Hey, henrietta! Hey, hey, hey! Hey! Pull your dress up.

Honey, you could never handle me with all these wrinkles of fat.

Why you'd never even find the thing.

I'd have to piss on you to give you a clue.

You need more pink. Oh. Oh, thanks, Heather.

Have you ever done a lap dance before? No.

You gotta talk 'em into it, ok? 50 bucks a pop, you take 'em in the back.

Touch and go. They touch, they go. You can touch them.

They cannot touch you. Oh, that's good.

Now, if they come, it's ok. If they take it out, come all over,

you call the bouncer. Unless he gives you a big tip.

If he gives you a big tip, it's ok. You got that?

Ok. - Good. And you.

Where the fuck were you last night?

I was having my period, al. You don't want me...

To get blood all over the place, do you?

I'm gettin' real tired of your shit, kid.

If you want to last longer than a week, you give me a blow job.

First I get you used to the money, then I make you swallow.

Was he serious?

Here we are. Here we are.

Oh. Oh, look, baby, you missed a spot.

"The farmer in the Dell, the farmer in the Dell.

Well, I had a cherry once. And now it's shot to hell!"

Get off the stage! Get off the stage!

Hey! You better shut your hole, honey! Mine's makin' money!

You know what they call that useless piece of skin around a twat?

What? - A woman!

That's all, folks!

Ladies and gentlemen, the girl to tickle your pickle!

Heather!

Yeah! Whoo!

Phil, what'd he say?

He says in America everyone's a gynecologist.

You like her? - I like you.

I'll buy her for you.

Hey, come back!

What the hell you doin"? We got a bunch of spenders out there. Put your nightie on.

Tell him to go fuck himself.

I'll kick your ass outta here. Tell him.

Do yourself a favor. Ok. I'll put my nightie on.

Hi. My name's Heather. Would you like...

Hey! Want a drink? Hi, I'm Heather.

Do you want a private dance with me? Could I suck your tits?

You can't touch me, but I can touch you.

I'd really love to touch you. I know where you can touch me.

Heather. Oh yes, sweet little titties!

What's goin' on? They want a private dance with her.

So? Great. Get over there.

Hi. My name is Heather. Would you like... Hey, nomi. I love your nails.

We'd like you to have a solo dance for us. We don't do that.

One at a time, no women. 100 dollars.

Sorry. That's the rules.

200! You just do Zack and I'll watch.

500.

Done.

I said done.

You guys just sit over there and I'll change the music.

What's this about, cris? It's about fun.

Uh-huh. - You sit there,

and I'll sit here.

Oh, Jesus.

Hey! What you doin' here, man?

Nothin'.

Thank you.

500.

Hm!

That was fun, wasn't it? You're such a bitch.

But you love me. Can you walk? Yeah.

Good night, girls. Get some rest.

Go out. Celebrate. We can smoke some dope at my place.

You still got some of that thai stuff? Hm.

I love thighs. I almost get off on thighs. I like armpits, too.

You wanna come, nomi? - Not me.

Hey! You just got 500 off a lap dance. Al, just stop.

You act like somebody died.

Hey.

No, wait a minute. Listen. Now just listen.

You got more natural talent when you dance than anybody I've ever seen.

Look, I've seen a lot of dancers. I studied in New York.

Alvin ailey. You burn when you dance.

Yeah, you said I couldn't. Well, you've gotta hold some of it in.

Dancin' ain't fuckin'. What's that, more wisdom?

I know that! No, you don't. You dance like

when you fucked that guy last night. What guy?

That guy with the chick. In the back. I didn't fuck him.

Yeah, you did. You fucked him and her. Are you followin' me around?

I didn't fuck anybody! I was just... Look, I saw you!

Man, everybody got aids and shit. What is it that you think you do?

You fuck 'em without fuckin' em, that's what you do. It ain't right. You got...

Too much talent for it to be right! Get outta here!

Bitch, I'm tellin' you the truth! You want me to go? I'm outta here.

Boo! I got an "a"! - Yeah!

4 more classes and I have that degree. Great!

Oh my god, I haven't gotten laid in 6 months.

My right hand's so tired I can barely thread a needle.

Use the left one.

Wow, I like that. I can make that.

Yeah? Yeah. Let's go to the fabric store.

I want to buy it. I've got the money. Why?

I don't know, I just do.

I never had a dress like that.

It'll look great on me.

Won't it? - Yeah.

Oh, what do you think? Oh my goodness.

Wow. It looks quite good on you.

It doesn't suck.

Oh, I can't believe I bought it! Let's celebrate.

I'll buy you a burrito. I'll even buy you some fajitas!

Oh, fajitas! Fuck, I can't. I'm on early.

Al's on my back. Don't worry. I'll drive you.

Ok. Oh my god! He's coming here!

Maybe you can meet him! I wouldn't even know what to say to him.

Just say, "Andrew, I can't even thread a needle anymore."

Baby, mama's waiting for you! Come to me! I gotta get tickets for the concert!

Hey, come on. Come on, baby. Hey.

Fuck off! Whoa! Sorry. Remember me?

Phil newkirk, stardust hotel.

There's a spot open in the chorus line. We're auditioning tomorrow morning.

I think you should try out. Me?

Yeah, you. You came here to ask me?

When I saw you dance, I thought, "yes!"

She sent you, didn't she? No, nobody sent me.

Be there at 10.

The queen of bazooms! Henrietta!

I wanna see your ass.

"Oh, show me a home where the buffalo roam,

and I'll show you a home full of shit!"

Thank you. - Good night.

Molly! - What? What is it?

I got... I got an audition!

Hey, pollyanna! What did you call me?

I said you looked like pollyanna. Ok, ladies! I'm Tony moss.

I produce this show. Some of you probably heard

that I'm a prick. I am a prick.

I got one interest here, and that's the show.

I don't care whether you live or die. I want to see you dance and your smile.

I can't use you if you can't smile. I can't use you if you can't show,

I can't use you if you can't sell. Let me take a look at you. Spread out.

Spread out. Spread out. Jesus Christ,

Marty, take a look at these tits. What are these, watermelons?

This is a stage, babe, it's not a patch. See ya.

I've seen you before. I auditioned for you in January.

You told me to get my nose fixed. Nose looks good.

Thank you, mister moss. Nice smile, too.

You know what? Your ears are stickin' out. Come back when you get 'em fixed.

See ya. Can you spell m.G.M. Backwards? M.G.M.!

I'm impressed. Come back when you've fucked some of this baby fat off. See ya.

You got some nice wigs, tennis ball? I do.

What kind of classes have you had? Ice skating, ballet, mister moss.

Technique classes, stretch classes, jazz classes, jazz technique classes.

This show is called "goddess." It ain't called "classes". See ya.

What kinda classes have you had? I haven't had classes.

Then what are you doin' here? I'm watching you

be a prick. Well, you ain't seen nothin' yet. Gay!

Run 'em through the routine. All right, you guys, find some space!

Just start with your right leg, slap it on, one, two, a-three and four!

Poom! - Go! 5, 6, 7, hit it!

Bum-bah! Ho! Ho!

Slam it! Bum-bah! Ho!

Kick it! Ha! Hal!

Go! Good! And up! Stay down! All right, relax, guys, you can take a break.

Which ones? Tennis ball, dark hair in the back...

Hello, doll. Hello. So, how's it goin'?

Pretty good. - Ok,

I want you to stay.

And you. You, too. Good-bye, ladies, you wasted my time and yours!

The other 3, line 'em up!

Ok, show me your tits. I got a topless show,

Very nice.

Very nice, ladies. Gay! - Yeah?

Other music! Marty! Change the lights. Ok, cue "angel".

Let's come in at 20 seconds. Jack, bring up the side spots!

All right!

I want to see some attitude!

I said attitude! Come on, ladies! Sell!

Sell your bodies!

Cut it! Try yoga, babe, or hangin' from the ceiling or somethin'. See ya.

Marty, ice. You got somethin' wrong with your nipples?

No. They're not stickin' up. Stick 'em up.

What? Play with 'em a little bit.

Pinch 'em a little. You want me to do it for you, I'll do it.

I'm erect. Why aren't you erect?

Here. Put some ice on 'em.

I called that one right. See ya, pollyanna!

That's it for today! Thank you.

You got me the audition, didn't you? Hm.

Why?

Maybe I like the way you dance. Maybe I like you.

What difference does it make?

Did you enjoy that out there?

Yeah, darlin', I think I did.

I hate you.

I know.

Here.

Wipe your nose.

The orthodontist convention is over there, the realtors are comin' in in 20 minutes!

Let's line 'em up!

Hey!

Hey. - What are you doin' here?

I just did an audition. What, you want to be a showgirl?

Hey, Smith! Move these bags!

Didn't go too good, huh? Well, you know, I'm glad about that.

All right, just don't, ok? Hey, Smith, I'm talkin' to you.

You don't want to be in this kind of show. What you doin', at least it's honest.

They want tits and ass, you give 'em tits and ass. Here,

they pretend they want somethin' else, and you still show them tits and ass.

You work her on your own time, you got it? Now start linin' up those bags.

I'm talkin' to her. You're what?

I said, I'm talking to her. I'm not workin' her. I'm talkin' to her.

And you're interruptin' my conversation. That's rude. Now get the fuck outta here!

Asshole. - You're fired!

Yeah? Take this jacket. Come on. Now look what you done.

You got me fired again. You a real badass, you know that?

Ain't you got no shame? You know what? Look, what a beautiful day it is.

The sun is shinin', neon blazin', money's flowin'.

I'm gonna get you the best meal in town. Yeah?

You like that burger! - Hm.

Where you from? Different places.

You like talkin' about you, huh?

Oh! Where are we? - My place.

Why? I want to show you somethin'.

It's the best suite in town.

I had to beg and plead to get it.

This what you wanted to show me? What? This nice big bed here?

Hm?

I wrote this number. It's about you.

You don't know anything about me. I know you're a private dancer.

I only need 3 other girls. We can put it on at the crave club.

I'll show you.

Stand right here. Watch me.

Wait a minute, slow down! Like this?

Yeah. - Yeah.

Ssst! Bang!

Yeah, come on now, follow me. I know you can. Yeah.

I have my period. - Yeah, right.

Oh. - See?

You can fuck me when you love me.

But I do love you! Yeah, right.

You don't fool me. I see you.

What do you see? I see you hiding.

From what? - From you.

You got into some bad shit someplace, didn't you?

Thanks for the hamburger! Hey! Hey, wait!

Call him! Oh Jesus, I'll call him.

And stars in a show. Well, good for her!

La-Dee-dah-Dee-dah-Dee-dah! Hoo-hoo! She'll be back.

No, I won't. I'll never come back! You're a fuckin' stripper.

Don't you get it? I'm a dancer!

Then Henry here's the fuckin' virgin Mary! I got bigger tits than Mary,

Is she gonna be in your number? I'll be right there!

She can't dance. Yeah, but you're gonna teach her.

Right? She's got talent. Right?

Look, you and me, we ain't got no ties.

Dancing ain't fucking. Right?

Yeah, that's right.

See ya.

Who was that?

Oh, it's just somebody who wanted to be in the number.

You're not gonna give her my part? Nah, baby. She can't dance.

Excuse me. What can I do for you?

In the forum? Oh yeah, versayce.

I love ver-sayce. - Me, too.

Ok, you know Marty. - Hi.

Gay's our line captain. - Hi.

If you let me down, I could lose my reputation

for being such an all-knowing prick. I worked very hard for that reputation,

so don't do it. Deal? - Deal.

Gay will show you around. Let's get goin'.

We'll do a run-through this afternoon. Good luck.

They always tell you that in Vegas, just before they take your money.

You need to maintain your weight. Eat a lot of brown rice and vegetables.

And stay indoors. I don't want to see any tan lines.

Your make-up and your costumes are your own responsibility.

Don't take 'em home. Whatever you do, don't ever, ever go out onstage crying.

You do eat brown rice and vegetables? Sure.

Good. This is your table. If you're smart, and I was smart,

you'll figure out a job and man for later on.

How'd you find your guy? I chipped my tooth on a quaalude.

He was my dentist. You're gonna be running this monster 6 times a night.

Hold onto the railing, you don't want to fall. I'll take you up to personnel.

They want some information. What kind of information?

Date of birth. Seven/three, um, 73.

Place of birth. - New York.

New York, New York? - Yeah.

Nearest family members.

Ummm...

I don't have any family.

Deceased? - Yes.

Have you ever been arrested? Charged with a criminal offense?

No.

Social security number.

Uh... I don't know. But let me check on that for you, ok?

Hey! You got it! Nice goin'! That's great. Thank you.

Zack, this is nomi Malone. Sure, I remember her. Hi.

I bet you do remember her. She's pretty memorable.

You're part of the team. Nice dress. Thanks. It's a versayce.

It's versace. - What?

See ya. It's versace. It's pronounced ver-sa-chee.

Oh. - You got great taste.

You look beautiful. - Thank you.

Like this? - This is nomi!

Nicky, Julie, deena, and you know gay. They'll run you through it once.

You watch. And then we'll blend you in. Have you eaten anything? Jack!

What do you want? Um... burger, fries and a soda.

Brown rice, vegetables and an "evian". Ok, you guys, let's line it up.

Thrust it! Thrust it! Thrust it!

Come on, thrust it! Bam! Ok!

That's enough. Thank you, ladies.

Good job. - Thank you.

Gay, work with her on her turns. I'm worried about her balance.

When will I do the show? You're starting tonight.

Tonight? - You'll be fine.

How did she do? She's no butterfly.

Tony, she's all pelvic thrust. I mean, she prowls. She's got it.

I wonder how she got it. Well, she certainly didn't learn it.

But they don't teach it in any class.

Wait, you need more orange. Let me do it, let me do it.

How do you feel? Oh, don't ask. Don't ask!

Hey! Who the hell took my make-up? Monkey alert! Monkey alert!

Oh no, not again! Goddamn it, Hector, I told you

if this happened again, I would... They get the heat! They make babies!

Babies? Oh god! Watch it. Jeez!

Grab her! Grab her!

Yay! I got one! - Thank you.

The rest of them are upstairs. My makeup, I'll fucking kill you!

You fucked that kid from the pizza place! Well, you fucked the meter reader!

Bitch! You, you're fuckin' dead!

Hey! Hey, stop it! Now settle down, it's done!

Showtime.

Come on, you guys, move it! You got 4 counts of 8! Wait, nomi, wait. Your wig.

All right, you're fine. Come on, let's go! There's shit on the stage, honey.

It's that damn garlic. Where is it, Jack?

Top left. You guys, upstage left, monkey shit!

Want some blow? - Last chance.

Pick it up! Go, go! Pick it up, let's go! Come on, you guys, a little faster!

Come on, pick it up! Brian, go!

See ya.

All right, everybody, let's go! Go, go, go!

I love you. Come on, nomi, pick it up, run.

Nomi, wait! 2 beats.

1, 2, go!

Shit.

Yeah.

Ladies and gentlemen, the stardust presents

miss cristal Connors.

Nomi, 2 minutes. You gotta change into your red wig. I got your costume.

Nomi? Nomi. Slip this on. Did I do ok?

Yeah, you did fine. Your right leg extension needs work.

It's 8 steps on the sweep. I'll have one work with you tomorrow. Be here at noon.

Put this on. You're done. Yeah.

Yaaay! - Yes!

I didn't fall. You did. You nearly fell.

Hey, yo! Can I talk to you a minute? Come on, please?

Talk. - Alone?

I'll go get the car. I'll be right there.

Yeah? Who sent you the flowers?

None of your business. - Ok.

Ok, look. I just wanted to say... You and me ain't got no ties.

I have a problem with pussy. I always have, and I'm always gonna.

But I meant what I said to you. I'm not interested in your problems, ok?

I did write it for you. Yeah. But I did tell her I was gonna teach her,

and I did fuck her. Who you fuck is your business.

Well, you know, it's not like I'm seein' any money for writin' that number.

I may as well touch a little pussy.

You ain't got nothin' to say. No.

Thanks for the flowers! Eh, Tony said you did great!

I never got flowers before. Really?

Well, I'm sure you'll get lots of them.

Oh, he gave 'em to you? Yeah, he did.

Well, what is he? A pimp? Only people I know got pimp cars are pimps.

He's the entertainment director. That's exactly what I said. He's a pimp!

Hey, nomes, let's go!

Good luck with your number, James. I'm sure...

You're gonna teach her to be a great dancer.

Hello?

Anybody here? - Back here.

What are you doing here? What am I doing here?

Doing some of the finest cocaine in the world, darlin'. You want some?

It's great for the muscles.

I told Marty I'd work on your turns with you, darlin',

but I'm feelin' a little turned inside out myself today.

Cut the shit. - Ok.

We got off on the wrong foot. You wanna start dancin' all over again?

Why? - Why not?

Do you wanna walk down to spago? Where is it?

Just down from ver-sayce. Versace.

Ah, right. Versace. - Yeah.

Right this way.

Enjoy.

I don't know what all this stuff is. I'll order for you.

Don't they have brown rice and vegetables?

Do you like brown rice and vegetables? Yeah.

You do? - Sort of.

Really?

It's worse than dog food. It is.

I've had dog food.

You have? - Hm.

A long time ago. Doggy chow.

I used to love doggy chow.

I used to love doggy chow, too.

I get a headache from champagne. Oh, this isn't champagne.

This is holy water.

I named myself after this holy water.

Chrissie Lou Connors used to have dingy brown hair

and little bitty tits.

It's amazing what paint and a surgeon can do.

You have great tits. They're really beautiful.

Thank you.

I like nice tits. I always have.

How 'bout you? I like having nice tits.

How do you like havin' 'em?

What do you mean? You know what I mean.

I like having them in a nice dress or a tight top.

Hm...

You like to show 'em off.

I didn't like showing 'em off at the cheetah.

Why not? I liked looking at 'em there.

Everybody liked lookin' at 'em there. It made me feel like a hooker.

You are a whore, darlin'. No, I'm not!

We all are. We take the cash, we cash the check,

we show them what they want to see. Maybe you are a whore, cristal,

but I'm not.

You and me,

we're exactly alike.

I'll never be like you.

Miss Connors! Sorry to bother you, but would you, uh, sign this for me?

I'd be happy to. What's your name? Frank. I'm from galveston.

Well, I'm just a little ol' farm girl from del rio myself, frank.

I told you she was from Texas. Whoo-ee, look at that!

Could I have me one just like that? What, you want a girl to use up all

her lipstick on you? You want to dance? Right now?

It's now or never. That's what Elvis said.

Oh, you know, the best advice I ever got?

You're up there onstage, hopin' on a spot.

If someone gets in your way, step on 'em.

If you're the only one left standin' there, they hire you. That's about it.

Thank you and good night, ladies and gentlemen.

Elvis has left the building.

You see, darlin', you are a whore.

Bitch!

Guess we're done.

Right here. Right here. Thank you. Thank you.

Nicky. Can I talk to you for a second? Listen, we're doin" a show and...

Look out. Coming through.

Mommy, can we see the monkeys? Not now, honey, they're busy.

Please, mommy, they're so cute! They have to work, sweetheart.

What are they doing, mommy? They're getting ready for the show.

Why can't we see the monkeys? Get these fucking kids outta here!

She said the "f" word! She said the "f" word!

Shut the fuck up!

It's ok. It's ok. It's ok. It's ok.

Come on, honey. Let's get out of here. Nomi.

Listen, there's a boat convention comin' into town next week. We need 2 girls.

Nicky's gonna do it. You interested? It pays 1,000 dollars.

1,000 dollars? - Yeah.

To do what? Just represent your hotel for a day.

You wear your costumes and your smile, and they take your picture.

1,000 dollars? - Hm.

Yeah. - Great.

Thanks. Cristal here recommended you.

Thanks. - My pleasure, darlin'.

Just lookin' out for you. We must talk about that magazine layout.

Later! - Don'tdo it.

What? It's 1,000 dollars. Why not? Molly, I need you!

Yes, I know some girls who've done it... I'm waiting!

They didn't like it.

Did you do it? - Yeah.

Did you like it? Did I like it? Sure, I liked it.

Let's hear it for these 2 beautiful girls from "goddess",

the new smash at the stardust.

Thank you.

Hey! Hey, guys! How's it goin'? Fine.

Tough gig, huh? - Very tough.

This is my good friend, mister okida. He's from Bangkok.

He's one of our very, very high rollers. Ladies, we got a great idea.

We want to take you to dinner tonight after the show. Have some lobster,

hear Caesar sing. You ever heard Caesar?

Caesar sing?

Caesar'll sing, and then we'll go back to my place, and we'll sing.

Just the 4 of us. How 'bout it?

We sing.

Yeah, we'll sing a lot of songs. Yeah?

Ok. - Ok. Good deal.

Ok. Good deal.

Not me. - Whoa. Excuse me.

Hey! Hey, hey! Be nice. Get your hands off me!

You're getting 1,000 dollars for this. Yeah, for this! This!

Ok, forget it. Just forget it! No harm done! No damage! Christ!

Zack? - Yeah?

I want to talk to you. - Sure.

Let's go upstairs. Did you have a nice day, darlin'?

No.

I'm sorry to hear that.

I'm sorry. Some people just don't get it.

Yeah, I'm on the stage. Get me Phil newkirk, would you? All right.

Thank you. - I want you to stay.

Yeah. Well, the drop is up 33 % on those 58 machines.

It's gonna make you a bottom line about 2-50. Right. Ok.

I got an m.B.A. For this. That's what this business has come to.

Cost analyzing every slot machine.

What's an m.B.A.? Zack, you in here?

Yeah! Excuse me.

Hey, hey, hey! What's goin' on? If I ever hear anything like this again,

you're outta here. Zack, nothing happened.

Yeah, somethin' happened! She's jumpin' to conclusions.

And if it happens again to anybody, you're gonna jump to your conclusion.

Without your golden parachute.

You owe her an apology.

Nomi, I'm sorry. I apologize. Yeah, fine. Ok.

Get outta here. - Yeah.

Give 'er some juice on 3 and 4, now! An m.B.A. Is a degree you pick up...

In college. It's mostly worthless in the real world.

You go for it, don't you? Yeah, I try to.

Showtime. - That's for sure.

Blake, bring both of those back up!

Phil, you dumb fuck, get back up here, would ya? I know, I know.

I want to thank you for looking out for me. It was so nice of you...

To recommend me to Phil. What are friends for?

Right.

Molly. You were right about the convention.

Oof, sweet baby! Hm! Oh! Do that again, sal,

I'll break your fucking fingers! Hey, I can't help it

if you don't have a gay partner. He's so hetero and wants everybody

to see how hetero he is. Can you bring that flashlight over here?

You want a knuckle sandwich, huh? Oh, can I have mine anally, please?

Come on, you guys, stop! Jesus! Let's line it up!

What are you lookin' at, bitch? Let's move it! Come on, go, go, go!

Oh my god.

Oh my god. Are you ok, Annie?

Let me take a look. Can you move your leg? No, it's not here.

It's my leg or something. Tell me when you feel something.

It's her knee. It isn't broken, is it?

Daryl? What happened? My foot went out from under me.

Hey, gay! This is what happened.

I wonder how those got up there. They probably came off a costume.

We're gonna take you to the hospital. Shit, no! Fuck!

Jesus. Poor Annie. Tough break. Let us through here, please.

See ya. - I'm the producer.

I hired your show! You're my producer! You'll do what I say.

Hey! She was my understudy. I want a voice in this.

Guess who's gonna make the decision. It is broken, kids.

Shit. That'll be 3 months. At least.

Bad Karma, huh? Nomi, your mother's waiting for you.

My mother? Well, for your sake,

I hope she's not.

If a light sleeper can sleep with a light on, can a hard sleeper sleep

with a hard on? What do you call a tiger?

A tiger's a big pussy that eats people.

Henry! - Oh!

I can get shit on, but I don't like getting' spit on. Ha-ha!

Hi. - Hi, al.

You look like shit. She looks better

than a ten-inch dick, and you know it. So, you like it here?

What do you think, she's gonna miss you? Yeah, why not? We miss her.

She misses us like that lump on my twat

I had taken off last week.

We saw the show.

You were good.

Thank you, al.

Real good.

You take care, kid.

Must be weird not having anybody come on you.

Nomi! Hey, you want a ride?

I got one. - Ok. Good night.

Wait!

You ever been in one of these? No.

I always wanted one.

Oh! It's some car, isn't it? It doesn't suck.

All right, where are we headed? You have to give me directions.

To your place.

Do you like cristal?

I like a lot of different champagnes. But I always stick with champagne.

Oh! What's Andrew carver like? Are you nervous?

Don't be. - I'm not.

I liked it when you came.

I liked your eyes.

Hey! Stay with me, huh? I'll drive you back in the morning.

It is morning. - Please?

I've got a taxi coming. Send it back.

Cristal needs a new understudy.

There's an audition at noon. You want to try?

Would you have told me about it if I hadn't come here?

It wasn't my idea to come here. It was yours.

I want to see you again.

We'll see how it goes.

What, the audition?

Thanks. - Thank you.

Oh, hello!

Oh, I hate you. Hm. Who was he?

Zack. - Oh my god.

Did you tie him up? - Oh shit.

What? - I forgot to untie him.

Are you high? - Maybe a little.

Oh, I can't go to sleep now. I've got an audition at noon.

Where are the sugar-snaps? In the cupboard. Nomi,

don't get sucked into it. Uhoh,

look what I found!

Ok, whatever, nomes.

Julie. She's not hot enough, tone.

She's got it down. You can't teach 'em to get it down.

She doesn't have cristal's heat. Well, none of 'em have cristal's heat.

I do love you, gay. Nomi's got heat.

Does she now? - Yes, she does.

Oh, in a totally different way, of course. Come on! She's gonna take the lead?

This is a hotel show! This isn't the cheetah.

Nobody's gonna take my lead anyway. I haven't missed a show in 8 years.

But you're not gettin' any younger. Eat me.

You wanna do it again with just nomi? No.

Yeah, I do. Set it up, Marty. This is bullshit. It's about your dick.

Nicky, Julie, thank you! What do we know about her?

Nothin'. I'm not even sure she gave us the right social security number.

Find out, would you? Right.

You fucked her, didn't you?

Does that piss you off because you're jealous, cris?

Or because I beat you to the punch?

You fuck him for the spot or you fuck him because you wanted to?

I say you did it for the spot. Is that what you did, cristal?

You don't want to piss me off, darlin',

now that we're friends. No, you shouldn't get pissed off.

It makes you look older.

Nomi! - Yeah?

You got it. - L1 do?

Marty and gay are gonna work with you. I talked to Phil.

We'll get some glossies taken. You did good. I'll call you for dinner.

We'll have some lobster. Hey, did you ever hear Caesar sing? You'll love it.

What? - Congratulations.

I see you have many talents. I thought she did good.

I didn't even know about the audition until afterwards.

Do you like my nails?

They're not as nice as yours.

Maybe I'll help you with yours sometime.

If you want.

Isn't that nice of you, darlin? What are friends for?

On second thought...

I'm not sure I want you to do mine.

I'm gettin' a little too old for that whorey look.

I'll think about it.

Ok. Close the door on your way out.

Hey, bring on the real dancers!

Boo!

Shit, get off!

All right! All right! Enough of this stuff! Let's dance!

Hey! - Hey!

I loved it! It was good. What are you doin' here? Slummin'?

Heather! Were we good? Hope! You were great.

She dances like a truck! I do not!

Do you want somethin' to drink? Yeah, get me a beer, bitch.

Look what I got.

It's beautiful. I stole it from my grandmother.

You did not! You got it at a pawnshop.

We're gettin' married.

You love her?

I don't know. She's havin' a baby.

Hm.

What about this? We ain't any good. You heard them.

"Get outta here!". "Get off the stage!".

What are you gonna do?

Work in a grocery store. Her mother owns it.

We'll get a discount on baby food.

See ya.

Shit happens, you know? Life sucks. I'm a student of t-shirts!

Hey, Nicky.

Hey! - What's goin' on?

What do you mean, what's goin' on? Cool it, all right?

You told me I got it, and than that? She threatened to walk!

She got her lawyers into it! So what?

So she's a big star! You're not worth it. Sorry, nomi. I tried. Fuck!

Basically my g-string snapped. So, there I was dancin' butt naked for 5 minutes.

I mean, my poor partner!

Hey. I thought about it, darlin'.

You think you could do my nails now?

Oh. Ok.

Maybe some other time.

Come on, slave girl.

Let's go. We've only got 5 minutes.

Go, go! Go, you guys, run! Go, run, run, run! Go! Go, run!

Run, Daryl, go!

You guys, let me through!

Cristal, can you hear me?

Somebody get Marty here! Marty!

What the hell happened? I don't know.

Somebody get an ambulance, now! Who was behind her?

I was. - What happened?

I don't know. She just went down.

She slipped. I saw it.

Nomi wasn't even close to her.

Tough break, huh?

What's the matter? - Nothing.

All right, thanks. Keep me informed.

Well, she's got a concussion. That'll be all right. But she's got

a compound fracture of the right hip. You know how long those take to heal?

We gotta shut the show down. Not a chance. The show goes on.

The stardust is never dark. It has never been.

It never will be. Not while I'm alive.

Who was her understudy? Well, we had a girl who...

What's funny? Cristal Connors is a star, Sam!

You can't just replace her.

What if we could just bring somebody in while she's recuperating?

She could be out for a year, Phil. Like who?

Janet Jackson, Paula Abdul. Paula Abdul? In my show?

We're not gonna pay those kind of salaries. Well, in that case, mister karman,

we do what we do in Vegas. What?

We gamble.

Ladies and gentlemen, the stardust proudly presents

miss nomi Malone.

We could've brought anyone into this show.

Janet Jackson, Paula Abdul. Nomi Malone is what Las Vegas is all about!

She's dazzling, she's exciting and very, very sexy.

Thank you, Zack. How did you feel about the show tonight?

I just hope that I can be as good as the show.

You are, my dear. You are the show.

Thank you.

Hey, you ready to party? Where?

The paradiso. I rented out the bungalows. For what?

For you. - Yaaay!

Hurry up. I got a limo waiting for us. I don't have anything to wear!

You do. Andrew carver's coming. He saw the show. He thought you were great!

He... did you hear that? Andrew carver is gonna be there!

Yeah, I heard. - Hey,

what's wrong with you?

You pushed her, didn't you? No!

How can you talk that shit to me? Julie saw it.

She couldn't have seen it. I saw Julie, and her back was to you.

She saw it.

Wow. Ok.

Have fun at your party. - Molly!

Molly. Come here, Molly! You gotta come! Andrew's gonna be there.

I don't care.

Molly,

it ain't a party without you.

Let go of me. Let go of me!

Bravo! Bravo!

Tony!

Surprise! Go on, go.

One minute. Excuse me.

Oh my god. Oh my god.

So, what I want to know is

where's Andrew?

Look.

I love your outfit. - Thank you.

Nomi, think I could be your understudy?

I'll see what I can do, ok? Thanks, darlin'.

Hey, Andrew carver's here. Come on, I want to introduce you.

Andrew's here!

Zack. How you doin', man? Hey, man, how you doin'?

Andrew carver, nomi Malone.

You were sensational tonight. Thank you.

Zachary? Wherever did you find her?

I'll never tell.

I like your songs. Thank you. You know, uh,

I like your ass. Call me.

Molly Abrams. Andrew carver.

Hi, Molly. Andrew. I can't even thread

a needle anymore. - Sorry?

Molly's one of your biggest fans. Well,

then let me get you a drink. Ok.

Come on.

Oh my god.

Enjoy. You look beautiful tonight.

Thank you.

What's goin' on?

Just wanna party, baby.

Let me go.

Let me go! - Shut the fuck up!

Throw her down!

Fuck her!

Shut up, bitch! Get me some black pussy! Fuck her, man. Fuck her! Fuck the bitch!

I could fall in love with you.

Let's get outta here.

Molly?

We have her sedated. She's in shock.

She has a broken nose, vaginal tears.

She'll be here 3 or 4 days.

Zack, Zack!

I got this for you. And look at this. And look at this. Later.

Where are the police? They're not here.

Why the fuck aren't they here? Because they're not coming!

Fuck! - Don't do it, Polly.

How did you find out? You were busted for disturbing the peace

at the crave club. The police took your fingerprints.

I don't have to listen to this. Yes, you do!

You're Polly Ann costello! Your father killed your mother,

then killed himself! You ran away from a foster home in Oakland, December 1990!

Arrests: Denver, soliciting. - Stop it!

San José, Cheyenne, soliciting! Possession of crack cocaine!

Assault with a deadly weapon! Tell me, why did you stop hooking?

You had your future pretty well mapped out for yourself.

I did what I had to do. Just like you did with cristal.

I'm not a whore.

No, you're not.

You're gonna be a big star. Your face is gonna be up on billboards.

And you're gonna make a lotta money for the stardust.

You're not gonna let him get away with this?

Carver is at the paradiso this year, but he might be at the riviera next year,

or the stardust the year after that. He's part of the team. So are you.

What about Molly? You like her, I'll make sure

he gives her enough money. She can have a dress shop.

Tell me something.

What did you charge?

Hooking.

50. 100 sometimes.

You got low self-esteem, baby. You're a fantastic fuck.

I was paying you a compliment.

Showtime.

Andrew carver, please.

Hello, baby. - Hi.

Lookin' good. He's ready for you.

It didn't take you long. - No.

I like you better topless.

Wait till you see me bottomless.

I'm waiting.

Take the rest off.

Sure.

You make a sound I'll fuckin' kill you!

Fucker! Fuck off!

He says he wants to sleep. Tired him out, huh?

Yeah.

She's still out. It's the medication.

Is she ok? - She's ok.

Molly?

Molly...

I just went to carver,

and I kicked the shit out of him.

I love you.

Cristal Connors, please. Room 319.

You know the best advice I ever gave you?

If you're the only one left standin' up there...

They'll hire you.

Thank you and good night, ladies and gentlemen.

Cristal has left the building.

I'm sorry, cristal. Yeah. I know just how sorry you are.

How do you think I got my first lead?

There's always someone younger and hungrier coming down the stairs after you.

Why didn't you tell anyone? Oh hell, darlin'.

I needed a rest. Besides, my lawyers have gotten me

a real nice settlement.

I gotta go. Aren't you gonna give me a big kiss?

Bye, darlin'.

Bye, darlin'.

Come on! Hurry up!

Well, hop in, pard. This here's your lucky day.

Right.

Let's go.

So, did you gamble?

Did you win?

What'd you win?

Me. - Oh fuck. It's you.

I want my fucking suitcase, asshole!

Hey! Hey! Wait a minute, wait a minute! I'm drivin'! Jesus fuckin' Christ!

Watch the fuckin' road! Be cool. I'll get your suitcase.
