What time is it?

Huh? What time is it?

Eleven.

Quiet flight from Monday.

Might have minded a bit.

Let me guess.

You had a wild weekend.

Always.

That depends on how you look at it.

Margie always has a good time when there's a man around.

At least I can talk about it the next day.

I enjoy it for itself.

Uh, have you girls ever tried doing it standing up?

No, you're kidding.

Did you do it?

Ask Mike.

I had him standing on his toes.

Ooh, la, la.

I don't see how you can do that, Barbara.

Especially with your height. I mean, the angles are all wrong.

Ask him. He's not shy.

Forget it. I'll just take your word for it.

Hey, uh, how about some coffee?

And make it hot.

That last cup that reached me up front must have come by way of the North Pole.

Complaints, complaints.

You know we're no good at making it hot. All right.

It's Monday, and you win.

Now, who's going to do it?

Depends on what you want done.

Okay, I guess it's me. Come on.

Huh? What time is it?

What's all that talk about standing up, you girls? What's this?

It figures you have, Grandma.

Jimmy, you're such a tease.

Do you know what it's all about?

You know, you've got a good head on that pretty body of yours.

I understand you've got quite a head yourself.

But I still don't believe it can be done standing up.

No. No.

Where is

it?

Hey, you know where I can get a ride to L .A.? Hang around, maybe you'll find

one.

Where are you going?

L .A. Can you give me a lift to Studio City?

Oh, yeah, but I've got to make time.

Where are you from?

North of here.

Where are you going?

South of here, L .A.

No, I know that. I mean, what kind of work are you going to do there?

Massage problem.

you don't look like a hooker.

What do you know about hookers? You don't even look like you can afford one.

Sweetheart, I don't have to afford one.

A proud stud, I suppose.

Yeah, sometimes.

Look, can we change the subject? I'm Debbie.

Scott. Hey, listen, what's your thing?

I haven't found it yet, but school isn't it. Two and a half years at State prove

that.

I'm joining the airlines tomorrow.

start at 7 a .m.

What made you choose that?

It's something new, meeting new people, free travel, new excitement.

If I don't like it, I'll try something else.

And what about mommy and daddy?

They don't give a damn what I do, so whatever I do, I do.

It's up to me.

Hi, I'm Debbie Stewart.

I guess we'll be rooming together.

I'm Jane. Come on in.

Welcome to our little nest.

It isn't much, but we call it home.

Debbie, meet Barbara.

Hi. Hi, Barbara. If you want to know anything, you just ask Jane.

She'll give you quite an education.

Uh, no thanks. I already had one.

It's all in the game.

Come on.

Let me take you to the room.

Come on out. We have a guest.

Male or female?

Female.

Okay.

This is the blue room. As you can tell.

I hope you find the accommodation suitable.

Hey, it's nice.

It's a little nicer than my dorm room.

Hi, I'm Margie. Hi, I'm Debbie. Hi, Debbie.

Listen, Debbie, these are my things. I'll move them out of your room this

afternoon. Sure.

Okay?

It's really not bad here.

There's only four of us.

And we share everything, you know.

Never get in each other's way.

Like if you have a date.

In from out of town?

No place to go?

It's a nice thought.

I'll keep it in mind.

Okay.

Come on.

Clean for me.

Where do you come from, Debbie? Kansas City.

That's Kansas City, Kansas.

I'm not from Missouri.

Get an A in geography.

Why'd you join up?

Well, since you asked.

I joined the French Foreign Legion because my girl left me for a

That's wild.

You swim both ways?

She was only kidding.

Weren't you?

I'd be happy to swim one way with the right guy.

I've been bored by every Campus Romeo that State College has to offer.

Baby, that's a turn -off.

Oh, a candidate for the easy life.

Let me tell you something, Debbie.

The work we do is pretty hard.

And as for men, it's the same everywhere.

The choice is yours.

Yeah, but at least in this profession, you get a better cop to choose from.

Hey.

I got a hot date tonight.

Will you help me get ready?

The usual, madam.

A shave, a manicure, a haircut.

I'll skip the haircut, but I'll take the other two.

All right.

Excuse me, Jane. Can I use the chair?

Certainly. Yes.

Thanks.

I've never seen that done before.

Oh, it's nothing new.

March does it all the time.

Men love it.

It's really freaky.

It does look clean.

Madame, for the skin he loves to touch.

Thank you.

God.

Hey, I'm going to the store. Either one of you want my tin?

Yeah, some foam. Would you get me some? Sure.

We're having a birthday party for Jane tonight, and we're going to let her make

the cake.

That's some surprise.

Where do you see the cake?

Mustn't touch.

Oh my God!

They mean well, but their heads are somewhere else. I know what you mean.

Don't get me wrong. If I get a little smashed, I'm level to do anything.

Make a wish.

This just isn't my scene. Marge, you can dig it if you'd like, but this is not

what I am.

Listen up, Debbie.

You're safe.

Yeah, you're right. How small -town can I be?

Imagine, I'm so provincial that the thought of making love to a naked man in

front of strangers just makes me sick.

comes to.

Oh, sure.

Here, have some.

Sometimes you mean well.

Things always get screwed up.

Like when you have roommates.

And you think you know them, but you really don't.

Yeah.

I guess it's true, Debbie.

We did give you a kind of funny introduction to a sting's life.

It's not always so bad.

I used to tell wilder parties than that when I was in school.

That's just it, Margie. You're not in school anymore.

Don't you want to do anything with your life?

Sure I do.

I'm going to find the richest man in the world.

And what are you going to do with him?

Marry him and everything he has.

Dream on, sweet princess.

That's not a dream. If you want it, you get it.

I'll get it.

Hey, what's the matter with Jane?

Oh, she, um, do things at night. You know, she loves them.

But the next day, she hates herself and anyone within ten feet of her.

Here's something I want to tell you about.

If you feel like a ride, get on this roller coaster.

If you stand up, you'll fall out.

If you lie on the floor, you'll miss out.

Storming along.

Thank you. Thank

you.

Pleasant flight, thank you. Hello.

This is your seat right next to it.

Hello,

can I get something for you?

No. Fine.

Sir, could I take your coat and hang it up?

Yeah, sure.

It'll be right here in the closet, and I'll give it to you at the end of the

flight. Okay, thank you.

Oh, excuse me, miss.

We'll have to put that down under the seat. It was a pretty good movie.

Turkey and dressing and everything.

Hello, can I do something for you?

No, I'm fine right now. Thank you.

Sir, is everything okay here?

Are we on time?

Sure. How far are you going?

About as far as your friend will let me. She has my tickets.

Here you are, sir. Have a nice flight.

I'm sure I will.

Sir?

Yeah. Now there's an old man with money.

And I think he likes girls.

Really? I think he's just being nice.

We'll see.

Sir,

can I get you more coffee?

No, thank you.

Coffee, sir?

No, no, thank you. Sir,

you don't look very well. Can I get anything for you? No, thanks. I'm fine.

Thank you. Okay.

Well, that wasn't bad for an airline stick.

Of course, when you're hungry, they all look good.

Yeah, it's all the same to me.

My fuel. I'm on and off planes so much, I can't tell you.

What kind of work are you in?

In TV sales.

Cartoons, children's shows.

You know, like Zara.

I never miss it.

Oh!

Hannah.

The man's had an attack. Get the oxygen.

It's okay. Could you put your cigarette, please? The man's just a little ill. We

have it all.

Ladies and gentlemen, could you please sit down? Relax.

Everything's under control.

He's looking better.

Let's hope so.

He certainly was lucky to have a doctor sitting next to him.

I'm no doctor.

Well, how'd you know what to do?

Courtesy of Uncle Sam.

We learned a lot more in World War II than just how to kill.

I never thought of it that way.

Everything happened so fast today.

Do you realize you saved a man's life?

Well, saving people's lives is not exactly my specialty, but I'm glad I

help. Just glad you could help?

You're an amazing person, Mr. Booster.

Do you mind me asking what kind of work you do that keeps you so alert?

Well, now, in the first place, the name is Ben.

In the second place, pleasure is my word. And having cocktails with a pretty

young girl is my specialty.

How about it?

That sounds very nice.

All right.

Do you live alone in this big house?

Oh, I have help when I need it.

Look, Debbie, you don't mind staying here all alone with me, do you?

Of course not.

I'm looking forward to a nice evening.

You make yourself comfortable. I'll be right back. I want to change.

Diana!

Hi.

Hey, who let you in?

Some memory.

Have you forgotten the key you gave me?

Touché. But you weren't due here till tomorrow.

I know.

But a girl has a right to change her mind when she's in the mood.

And, Ben, dear, I am in the mood.

Well, I'm sorry I can't say the same.

I'm just not with her today.

And besides, my niece is here.

She just came in from the, uh, would you believe airline?

Airline? Yeah.

Sounds to me like you're back after stewardesses again.

How could you get so fickle?

That's not it at all.

Hold that pool. They'll be right back.

No.

You shouldn't have. I'm the host here.

Besides, you did enough serving all week long.

That's all right.

I was just in mind your home.

It's beautiful.

Well, I like it. I've lived here about 12 years.

You see, I never got married.

Oh, I've been close.

Dan close.

But I never found the right girl.

I'm sorry to hear that.

But I think it's their loss.

Well, that's my dog.

You see, she's very jealous and demands a lot of attention.

But I'll go up and quiet her down. Can I help you, please? Our little dog, the

lover. Oh, she's mean and vicious. Nothing but trouble. I'll be right back.

All right, all right. I get the message.

Look. We both know what we have going for us.

Raw sex.

So take your shirt off and come over here.

You know what I love about you?

You're so damned honest.

Why not?

It's always natural with us.

When sex rears its lovely head, who am I to argue?

I'm so sorry, Debbie.

First the plumbing went haywire and the dog gave me trouble.

It's rough when no one's here. I have to do all the servicing myself.

I understand.

Don't feel badly about it. I enjoy relaxing sometimes.

Well, I'm glad to hear that.

I've been admiring your house.

It's very interesting, but also very revealing.

For instance, your gun case over there.

What's all the artillery for? Oh, amusement, sports, protection.

You see, I'm a land developer, and my work takes me into some pretty rough

country sometimes.

Do you shoot anything?

I don't get the chance very often, but I'm a pretty good shot.

Now, for instance, if anybody tried to break into here, I'm ready for them.

That's scary.

Debbie, how long has it been since anyone took a real interest in you?

Well, I don't mean just as a pretty girl, but the one with the hurts and the

pains and the secret thoughts.

I'd like very much to know that girl.

That's very sweet.

There's nothing that special about me.

Well, I think there is.

I think you're not like the other airline girls.

I think you want something more than just a good time.

I think you've been hurt badly.

Debbie, I'd like to see you smile a little more.

I'd like very much to know that girl.

Take me to the Sheraton, please.

This town sure looks exciting.

Just because you're seeing it for the first time.

Very smart. I'm sure you get a lot of girls in from the airport, don't you?

Nope. Not like stewardesses.

They all talk the same, you know, like high school girls on their first date.

I know what you mean.

But you can't generalize people in any area.

Just because we're between 5 '2 and 5 '10, it doesn't mean we're all the same.

So me, hostess.

I suppose you're one of the exceptions.

Maybe so.

I just started, you know.

It looks to me like a girl like you could be successful in anything she

You ever tried modeling?

Sure.

Well, you see, I study facial features.

You've got a lot to offer.

You could really be good at it, honestly.

you see me there i'm gonna have to get out of my way mister i gotta go to the

store well get out of that car get out

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.

Look, I'll have to leave you here, okay?

Forget about the charge. I've got to go home. No, let me come with you. I know a

lot about first aid. Please, okay?

Because you're hurt.

It's this.

Now let me look at your head, okay?

It doesn't look as bad as it did. You'll be okay.

Well, I could have told you that.

Anyway, I appreciate the help.

Really, I do.

These are pretty, beautiful pictures.

Well, I'm not a cab driver. I'm a photographer, only I'm the only one who

it.

The guy's got to eat, so I drive a cab.

I know what you mean. I work for a living, too.

But why can't you get a job?

Because I don't want a nine -to -five job. I want to freelance.

I'm trying to break into the fashion field, you know?

And I don't have a good enough portfolio yet.

Would you pose for me?

Me? No, I've never done that before.

It's easy.

You tried?

Yeah, it might be fun.

Well, I sure had a wild day today.

But I don't know where we got all the energy.

There's just one thing I was curious about.

Why didn't you ask me to pose nude?

Now, why did you ask me that?

I was just surprised.

I mean, I wouldn't pose nude, maybe, but if you asked... Well, I'm not asking.

Now, drop it.

Carol, I was just making a conversation. Look, the subject just doesn't interest

me. You're a fashion photographer.

The female body should be interesting to you.

Unless it bothers you for some reason or you're afraid of something.

All right, if you're serious, then take your clothes off.

Look at all the colors in the rainbow.

Listen to the ripples at the stream.

By taking my clothes off, I took my mask off, too.

How about you, Chell?

Ebby?

You are the most gorgeous and alluring woman that I have ever dreamed about.

Not now, Debbie.

Don't cry, okay?

Hey, Cal, I've got feelings, too, you know.

Yeah, well, feelings are great if you have them.

You know what happens to the first one who drops it, don't you? Okay, come on.

Tell me later after you win.

We'll just get cooled off, that's all.

Up, you're the one that's using two of them.

Voila, Coca -Cola on the rock.

Come on, get on with it.

Don't rush me. You're supposed to enjoy this.

It's your game, you know.

Wait a minute, it's not empty yet.

I love it.

Every inch of it.

Where have I heard that before?

From me.

And you never get tired of hearing it?

Yep.

I guess it makes me feel good to have someone dig me.

But you know, I don't know you that well.

The whole fact is still a mystery to me.

Ever something you never talk about.

Look, baby.

You know I dig you, your body, and your mind. That's enough.

So now you tell me.

Why can't we put the pieces together?

God, here we go again. Look, everything is fine just the way it is. I am not

ready for a house with any white picket fence.

Who says the fence has to be white?

Right?

White picket fence.

No abs.

Boy, that stuff was really cold.

Sirs, you're right. You would have done the same thing to me.

Yeah, but you can use some cooling off down there.

Don't you ever get tired of sex?

Come on, Mike.

The Victorian age is over. Women enjoy sex today.

There are a million ways to enjoy it.

Yeah, but do you have to try every instrument in the orchestra?

I guess I'm just a one -girl band.

I like different men at different times.

I'd like a change of pace.

Well, why don't we change the pace in my place tonight? You can play any song

you want.

Just a minute or two.

Cal, what are you doing?

Do you live in your picket?

Can I come in? Sure, come on in.

Do you always deliver your pictures personally?

No, but I can make an exception in case my favorite model can.

Hey, that's very flattering, but why'd you really come?

To see you.

You see, I've been looking at the pictures and thinking about you.

The pictures really came out nice.

When I was looking at them, it was like you were looking back at me.

You were the day we shot them, you know.

How did you feel when you were looking at them?

Turned on.

Kale, you really take good pictures.

You should have a better model, but... You know, I don't think you should have

any trouble getting work in L .A.

Well, I hope you're right.

I think so.

Hey, listen, a friend of mine is giving a party. You want to come?

Sure, why not? Where is it?

Palm Springs.

I'm your man.

Good.

Ben, your place is absolutely beautiful.

Well, I'm glad you like it.

I'm doing a little remodeling right now, and it's coming along very well.

I wonder what's keeping Debbie.

She left about the same time we did. She should be here any minute.

Well, I'm happy to hear it.

Whose place is this?

A friend of mine's wife.

Just want to know, who is he?

He's Ben Brewster. I met him on the plane.

How old is he?

Hey, what does that matter, Kel?

Just want to know.

I guess he's in his mid -50s.

Yeah, I thought so.

I thought so.

Mr., I'd like you to meet Kel.

Oh, hi.

Hi, how are you?

This is a nice place you got here. You know, I used to have a place like this.

Oh, when was that?

Another lifetime, I guess.

Come on, baby, let's go. This part is dope.

I'll make a fun job for you, Dad.

If you two excuse me, I think I'll go get a drink.

Right over at the bar. Help yourself.

Well, Debbie, I was beginning to think you weren't going to make it.

Who's your friend?

He's a photographer I met in San Francisco.

I hope you don't mind if I run into a party then.

Not at all. The more, the merrier.

You have any scotch around this place?

There's a bottle for you.

How'd you get invited to this, uh, gathering?

A girl brought me.

Oh. A chick there talking to Bruce?

Did you date that new old man?

With you?

I'd better give Barbara a towel. Go away.

Hey, what's happening?

What's your game?

Photographer. Looking for work.

Stills or movies?

Both.

You need bread?

You show me a man who doesn't need bread.

Got a job?

I might have something for you if you want to work and not talk about it.

I hear you talking.

Got many pens?

A few.

What do you got? What's the story about?

About the same old thing, man.

Ballin'. This is hardcore.

Don't give me any arty bullshit.

Just like that? I mean, you don't want to do something better?

Look, we've been shooting pornos now for two years.

When we're done, put the pen in the can, we get paid.

That's it.

I don't care what we shoot. Boy, boy, girl, girl, or both.

Kids come in and do a job.

That's all. What the guys back each do with the film is their business.

Well, uh, how do they show that kind of stuff?

They spend more money on lawyers than they pay us.

They'll set up phony, ridiculous complaints in court, and they have them

out.

That opens the market.

Then they bring in the hard stuff.

Our films will play coast to coast, just like the big movies.

You want in?

I need the money.

When do we start shooting?

Tuesday. Give me the address later.

Yeah, it's fine. It's fine.

What's bothering you?

Look, I don't know why you brought me here. I don't really need this scene,

know. And what's more, I don't like your friend Brewster either.

You don't even know him, and I don't know why you're acting like this.

Look, it's not him. It's us.

There's not that much between us, and I don't know why you feel this way.

Look, you were bare -assed at my place. That says a lot, okay?

That doesn't say a damn thing.

in your head, but, man, you come on in a strange way, and I think there's

something wrong with you.

What's the matter?

I shouldn't have brought him here.

Don't get excited.

After the rest of them have gone, you stay.

Everything's going to be all right, right?

Yeah, they're gone.

I thought they'd never leave.

Does that mean you're a charming sight to these tired old eyes?

They're not so old.

They're certainly not tired.

You know, I see the devil in your eyes.

Are you sure you don't mind staying a little bit?

Of course not.

You're kind of like an uncle to me. I don't know how I fit the role of uncle,

but I'll try.

Would you like to see your room?

I didn't bring an overnight bag.

No problem. If you don't mind sleeping in a man's pajamas.

No drink?

Nope. Buttons.

Are you decent?

Yes, Ben. Come on in.

Well, hey, those pajamas never looked that good on me.

Maybe we're starting a new fashion trend. No bottoms this year.

Ah, so be it.

You know, Debbie, seeing you tonight makes me feel like Methuselah.

The book of Genesis tells that he lived to be 969 years old.

Sometimes I feel that old.

I'm sure many girls would like to be with you.

You'd know what to do for her.

I'm not interested in many things.

Your hands are very warm.

And I can feel what's in your mind.

And you've got wild ideas.

I've ever had.

No regrets?

That's a silly question.

No. No regrets.

I'm glad.

You really know all the answers, don't you?

You are the most charming liar I have ever met. Oh, really?

Really. You've got your routines down to a science.

And that must work on all the girls, doesn't it?

No, not always.

I'm alone a lot.

Not by the looks of your house.

One female can always tell who another has been.

And Ben, you've had many others, haven't you? Maybe so, maybe not.

But, oh sure, I'm always interested, but so what?

You heard about being alone in a crowd?

man's life who had a heart attack?

No, Debbie's being very kind. Anybody could have done that. Don't be so

You must have known the right techniques.

You did a beautiful job. Perfect.

Debbie, you better hurry. They're having a special briefing inside.

Oh, nuts. I don't want to have another briefing. I've had too many already.

Listen, don't worry about it, honey. It's just more red tape.

Okay. Ben, will I see you later?

Sure. Okay, Margie, I'll call you. Okay, bye -bye. Okay.

Well, now, I'll take you any place you like to go.

Well, it's such a beautiful day, I don't want to go home.

Where are you going?

Would you like to come along?

Sure. Well, all right.

Do you like Debbie?

I think she's a hell of a nice kid.

You know, somehow I picture you as the kind of a man who, well, enjoys a more

adventurous kind of girl.

Well, it all depends on the situation.

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.

But I'm...

Different types interest me.

What about the type who shares your interests?

I doubt if any girl can share all of a man's interests.

I don't mean hunting and fishing.

Football.

I mean the more private kind.

Very few women can follow all of a man's interests in the same private sports.

A woman takes a more direct romantic course.

A man wants something a little bit different.

An exotic.

Not all girls are alike, you know.

I, for one, appreciate a man who has exotic tastes.

Oh? In everything.

Mm -hmm.

That is very interesting.

You've got everything you want here, don't you?

Money?

Property?

Chicks?

As simple as that, huh?

Sure. No problems that I can see. I don't know about that.

There are times when a person realizes the big ship never came in.

Oh, sure. The service I've got at me. I keep telling myself.

Listen, when you were young, did you ever think about who you were going to

You know.

Right now?

I think everybody thinks about that. I wanted to be a lawyer.

I thought there were so many things in the world that needed straightening out

that perhaps I could help.

What happened?

I found out that some things can't be straightened out.

You take the kids of today.

They want to destroy everything.

My generation worked awfully hard to get us where we are.

Yeah. Oh, sure, it's far from perfect, but why ruin it?

Everything is, um...

So far out.

Like what?

Well, like everything.

The real world.

Sometimes I just want to forget about it. Go into my own world.

I never tell anybody that, though. You know, they think I was crazy. I don't

think you're crazy.

Well, see, life to me is just one big orgasm.

Getting stronger and stronger.

I guess that's why I meet so many men.

Did it work out for you?

What? The man.

No, not yet.

You know, somewhere people get lost.

What people?

A whole lot of the kids.

You know, if I was a parent today, I'd shoot myself or somebody.

Why? Don't the kids listen to you?

Well, you're listening to me, aren't you?

No, I don't mean it that way.

Some of them have gone too far.

I mean like the Skytackers, the Militants, that bunch.

We don't lean on these people enough.

They see the coast is clear and they take advantage.

Okay.

So what?

So what?

You see this little beauty?

That is a weather bean.

It's my pet gun.

If more of us were ready, they'd think twice.

Hello?

Hi, Debbie.

This is Cal.

How are you? Hi, Kel. I'm fine.

Listen, you'll be glad to know I'm working.

I'm shooting a film.

I'm glad.

Yeah.

Well, look, I, uh, I thought maybe we could get together for dinner tonight,

know?

Kel, I'm busy.

Look, Debbie, I've missed you.

Please don't say that.

You're going out with Brewster, aren't you?

No. Look, you only want his money. What do you want, to be a pretty rich bitch

too? Cal, don't talk like that.

Well, look, I want you to get something straight.

You haven't heard the last of me.

Not by a long shot. This isn't the end of it.

Would you pose for me?

Yeah, it might be fun.

How'd you feel when you were looking at them?

Turned on.

A friend of mine's having a party.

Do you want to come?

How old is he?

Hey, Carol, I've got feelings, too, you know.

Feelings are great for you to have.

All right.

All right.

Any time you're ready.

Okay, let's roll it.

Five weeks of shooting, and today you almost blew it.

Look, I got something on my mind, okay?

That bitch Debbie?

Yeah.

Look, I got... I got a score to settle with her and that... that friend

Brewster.

Look, you ever heard of the People's Liberation Front?

I heard they had a group here in L .A.

Well, yeah, they do, see?

And I've been a member for five years now.

We've done a lot of good. We help a lot of blacks.

And look, we help a lot of Chicanos.

And we help a lot of guys in prison.

We did it all with money. We ripped off people like Brewster.

Now, I've got a plan to rip Brewster off.

But I need your help.

I think I can get him for 50 grand.

Look,

I'll split it with you 50 -50, okay?

50 -50.

Aren't you forgetting something?

You work for me.

You and I both know there's no way you can pull this off alone.

Without me, your plan is dead.

What's your price?

You get two -thirds, you do what you want with the rest.

I've got a few hours between flights, so I thought I'd drop in and see you.

I'm glad you did.

I'd like to show you my special room.

This device is my version of the Parisian pendulum.

Very popular in the French brothels during the return of the century.

You see, the older patrons could get high stimulation without too much

I have been trying to perfect that device for six months.

No luck.

Either I get the wrong girl, or I get the wrong timing on the motor.

Oh, it gets me.

As freaky as I am.

Hey, want to try it?

We'd better test it first.

Did you build that yourself?

Aye, lassie, that I did.

Shall I climb on board, Captain?

Yeah, let's raise the mast and lower the turn.

Are you ready?

Get yourself comfortable.

That's it.

Now, hold tight. Hold tight.

Oh, my God.

I am

so tired.

What a flight.

Oh, there's nothing like a quiet weekend to relax you.

With guys?

Hey, that's the only kind of party they have.

Besides, I think you need a change of pace, Debbie.

How's your love life lately?

Not very good.

Carol's too jealous.

He's got too many problems.

You've always got Ben, haven't you?

I haven't seen much of him lately.

Listen, in 14 minutes, the tram is going to take us from the broiling sun to the

freezing snow.

There's nothing like it anywhere.

Wait, you'll see.

are you doing here?

Well, I'm not waiting for a bus.

Hey, what's happening here?

Business, baby.

Sorry.

You too.

Sit.

Sit down.

Okay.

Welcome to our little, shall I say, party.

I want you all to listen.

Because I'm only going to say this one time.

If you all be good little ladies, nobody will get hurt.

But if one of you get out of line, you've all had it.

Okay, you, Debbie, come with me. What the hell are you doing? Look, shut up.

Move. Move.

Yeah?

Brewster?

Ben Brewster?

Listen and listen carefully.

We have your girlfriend Debbie here and two other stewardesses.

We need $50 ,000 by this afternoon or no one will ever see them alive again.

You've got to be kidding.

No, I'm not kidding, man.

That's your friend Debbie.

Ben, I'm sorry.

Please try and help us, please.

Okay. Oh, look, let the girls go. I haven't got $50 ,000.

Then I don't care, man. Get it. Mortgage your house or something, but get it.

And don't call in the pig.

I'll call you back this afternoon and let you know.

I'll let you know where to deliver it.

some punks want $50 ,000 for ransom or the girls are gonna get hurt.

Debbie?

How'd it go?

Everything went just fine.

We've got Brewster scared, and I'm sure he'll come up with the money.

What you and Cal want to go do a full thing like this for?

Baby, there is no way for us.

I'm into the man back east for ten grand.

I've got to get him off my back.

That's your problem.

Pretty girls always get on.

But for me, it's different.

I need to bread.

Clear myself with the man.

And I keep some for myself.

That's it. Plain and simple.

You're all wet.

You know, if you keep going the way you're going, you're going to blow your

whole thing for sure.

How's that?

That big black face of yours.

Plasted on the front of every newspaper all over this country.

You know what it's going to say?

It's going to say, another nigger gone bad.

Go on, I'm listening.

It's your turn.

You break the sauce.

I'm just a poor kid from the ghetto.

My father died when I was five.

I never had nothing.

Same old story, huh?

Same old story.

How did you get hooked up with him?

Hey, he's just out to use you, man.

You know, you'd be an all right guy if you just would play it cool.

Kind of amusing.

Yeah?

Brewster, do you have the money?

Yeah.

Okay.

You take the whole milk -free grove, follow it to the end.

I want you to turn left and go about three miles at the top you'll see an old

cabin. I'll take it from there.

Please come along.

At least now they know where they are.

Hey, baby, come on. You're taking a chance on some people's lives.

Look, Marge, if anything goes wrong, they can have the money.

But I'd sure hate like hell to see those bastards get away with it.

Hey, wait for me. I'm coming with you.

Cal, what's the matter with you?

Why are you doing all this?

We're here now, and that's that. Cal, please call Eva and let us go, please.

I can't. It's gone too far for that.

What's in your mind?

You still don't understand.

I've been thinking about you.

You're my chance.

You're the one chance I've got, and I won't let you take that away from me.

Why are you doing this?

I'm impotent.

I'm a freak.

I don't understand.

They told me in the hospital that I had a chance.

Don't you see?

You're my chance.

What does this have to do with me?

I need you. You're the answer.

You're the only way out I have.

I need you. I can't help you.

You're just another young girl who's hung up on an older man, and I

think it's sickening. You stupid bastard!

Your Ben has a lot of money, more than you will ever have.

But I hate you and get the hell out of here!

Sit

your

ass down.

It didn't take you very long to get the money.

My good is good.

You know, I got the feeling that Debbie wants part of this accident.

Debbie? Yeah, Debbie.

That's ridiculous.

I don't know about that. $50 ,000 can be very tempting.

You don't really believe that or you wouldn't be here right now.

Stupid fool.

I told you no bitch was worth it.

Yeah, just don't preach to me, okay? Preach to you, Cal, no.

But if you blow this setup, man, you're dead.

Don't you understand?

We blew it. We've already blown it. Now let's leave it.

The hell's the matter with you?

You know I don't leave here without the money.

Look, Neal.

We're gonna let him go.

Look, punk.

Nobody cops out on me.

Today is payday, and that's it.

So get it together.

Ruth should be here any time now.

She's getting away. Look, you keep an eye on those two.

Bastard.

What are you doing?

They're going to come out of that cabin pretty soon, and when they do... Oh, my

God, Ben. That's cold -blooded murder.

No, it's justice. Those punks have been asking for this.

Kidnapping is punishable by death, and I'm taking over.

Honey, just call the police.

And let them get off scot -free for lack of evidence?

Hell no, sister, hell no.

Baby, please. You're scaring me.

You almost act as though you enjoy it. You said it. I didn't.

But, Ben.

Ben, please.

Marge, stay out of this.

Hey, look. Here, here.

It's over.

Get off of my back, man. Look, I'm tired of your crying.

Come on, let's just let her go, okay?

That's right, boy.

Walk into my parlor.

Stop it. I can't let you do this. This is insanity.

Marge?

What the hell are you doing?

Everything's going to be all right.

How much more time will it take to put the pieces together?

Where do I go now?

Nowhere.

Or everywhere.
