Thank you.

Thank you.

Listen, man, I'm starting to get a lot of flack about your payments again.

I'm taking care of it.

Yeah, I know, but at the rate you're going... I'll put in some more starting

next week.

Bullshit. Where are you going to get the money? I've got a few things coming up.

Why don't we take a walk?

Look, Tony, you get some pocket money and some rent from this cocaine.

That's it.

You're small time.

And those guys at the office, that's no nickel -dime business.

They're serious.

When they say get it up, they mean get it up.

Or else sometimes some goon comes along and, you know, that pretty face of

yours. What am I supposed to do? Don't be a sap.

Put Joanna to work.

That body of hers.

What do you mean, what?

No, no, not at the club.

Look, I can do you a favor.

You talk Joanna into seeing Claudette.

Claudette can fix her up.

She can get her some work, still photography.

Nothing serious, nothing she can't handle.

And she'll be well paid, and she'll be taken care of.

I don't know.

Look, you got the number, man.

Do it.

I'd really hate to see anything serious happen to you.

Tony? Yeah?

I'm in the kitchen.

Hi. Hi, babe.

Poke? No.

What's wrong?

Didn't you see Paul today?

Something came up.

You want to sit down?

All right.

Well, do you want to tell me about it?

I have to talk to you.

You want an appointment?

Here it is.

You know that money I owe?

To Paul's friends?

Yeah.

Well, they want me to stop paying it back a lot faster.

Paul said if I don't, they're going to start roughing me up.

Jesus, Tony.

Why did you ever get involved with them in the first place?

Play it off, will you?

I was trying to get a better connection.

Those are the guys that supplied Paul.

They figured if I could deal with them, they'd deal directly with me.

Instead, I end up $5 ,000 in debt and my life is threatened.

I've got to get some more money.

So, where do I come in?

Paul thought maybe you could go to work for a while, until I get the debt paid

off. You mean at his place?

I've always wondered what it would be like dancing nude.

Not him, sir.

Thinking about photography work, you know, nude stuff.

Nothing obscene.

Maybe a snap.

Tony, I've never done anything like that.

That's okay.

He told me he should call his friend Claudette.

She'll set you up, show you everything.

It'll be easy.

What do you think?

I don't know.

Do you want me to do it?

What else can we do? We need the money.

All right. If you say yes, I'll do it.

Okay, good.

Hey, give me the number to call.

Name's Claudette.

Call her right away.

See you.

um hmm

Kiss this.

Yes, what's happening? I know. Come in.

Would you like some coffee?

Cream into sugar, please.

All right.

Would you mind taking off your clothes so that I can see what you look like?

Lovely.

Beautiful body.

You know, you're a very attractive woman, Joanna.

Yeah, I think we do just fine.

Well, I'm in your hands completely.

Yes, you are a natural.

Say, what would you say to posing with a man? It pays better.

How much better?

Oh, about twice.

Yeah, that's definitely worth considering.

I've got this feeling you're going to like this work.

Yeah, me too.

Excuse me a moment.

Hello?

Paul? Hi.

Yes?

Yes.

Sure.

Okay.

I'll tell you what, I'll see what I can do, okay?

Bye.

Joanna, that was Paul.

He says he has something we might like.

A little show for a customer of his.

What kind of a show?

You and I carry on like lovers and the customer watches.

What do you think? I don't know.

What do you think?

Oh, I'll do it with you.

All right, let's do it. But please, Claudette, you must mention DePaul, not

mention Mr. Tony.

I have no idea how he'd react.

Oh, don't worry.

I'll take care of that.

Now, this is what you've got to do.

Meet me back here at 3 .30, okay?

Yeah.

Okay, sure. Yeah, same stuff.

Just adored it.

Yes.

Oh, that will work out perfectly.

It's so strong.

Yes.

Perfectly, darling.

Yeah. See you soon, love.

Was that Tony?

Yes. Oh, is he bringing over the stuff?

He sure is. as he's bringing over lots of white lady.

And we're just going to dine and swine and get so high, darling. We're going to

fly. We'll make those lovely eyes sparkle like diamonds.

We'll make your body cool.

Make your toes tingle. Love the stealing from it.

Lovely painting.

Hi girls.

Hi Tony.

coke. I hope you have the money.

Darling, bring it to me.

Come, I've been waiting.

We've been waiting for you.

Hope you got the money.

There you are.

I sure do.

Pure coke.

Have you got the... Come in, darling.

Sweetie, I owe some people some money.

You owe me $1 ,500 as it is. Could I get it today? You'll get the break. Don't

worry. I'll pay you tomorrow.

I just don't have it today.

I always pay. You know I do, darling.

Okay. You got till tomorrow, okay? Yes, thank you.

Don't forget.

No, I won't.

I never forget you.

Thanks for the show.

You called?

Well,

what's the matter now?

There couldn't be a problem with Joanna. What I heard through that ball last

night was pure ecstasy.

I was up all night playing with myself just thinking about it.

Maybe I'd just like to fuck you.

Well, I like to think about it.

But I know better.

And besides, if you can't call on your neighbor, who can you call on?

Come on, Tony.

Come on, you're hurting me.

Come on.

Come on.

Now,

wait a minute. Wait a minute. Just let me get out of my dress.

Tony come here.

Okay.

No, no.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Okay, pal.

Do you want to talk about it?

No, not really.

Heavy, huh?

Oh, definitely.

Is there anything I can do?

You know how much I love being with you.

Maybe someday it can be more than just these quickies.

Maybe. Well, I better get going before the lady of the house returns.

Listen, don't worry.

It's just life.

I see.

Anytime.

Joanna? Yes.

How about you and Tony?

Are you close?

Yes, I guess we are.

After three years, you get pretty close to someone.

Yes.

But lately, I've been feeling very shut in and closed off, you know?

Yes. Today is the first time in, God, a few years that I felt any excitement.

I loved it.

And you, too.

Well, anyway, if you don't mind, I'd rather not talk about Tony right now.

I'd just rather spend some time with you and enjoy you. Do you mind?

No. You know, I feel exactly the same way.

So nice.

Oh, sick.

Sick, yes.

Oh, yes.

It's good.

There's somebody over there.

Hang on.

Have you been watching us? No, no, no, no. I'm sorry. Please. You're

No, please.

Don't you respect privacy?

You must be punished. Oh, please, please, please. You were playing with a

No, no, no, no. I wasn't. Please, please, please don't hurt me. Madam,

Please. Please, please, please don't hurt me. Please.

Drop your pants.

No, no, please, please don't punish me. I teach you to be a man. Drop them.

Yes, yes, please, Madam. Why?

Please. Now turn around and bend over. Please, please don't hurt me.

Please. Oh, please.

You pig. You filthy pig.

You are a general that teaches us to spy on you. Yes, Madam Black.

Well, you will never spy on us again. No, no, never, never.

Never, never.

You filthy animal.

Well, this is what you wanted. You're going to get it.

Come on.

Yes, come on, move it.

Do you like that?

You don't believe me?

Thank you.

But this is.

All right, I saw you.

Come on, let's get out of here.

Listen, just give Tony half and put the other half away.

You never know.

Besides, he thinks you're doing stealth.

So you can't bring in more than is realistic.

Suppose you're wrong.

Why give it away?

Sure. Taking care of number one.

Tell me, how did you like it?

A lot.

I guess because it was with you.

You know, I think it'd be nice if we could be alone.

Would we have to do that?

Tony could have seen me.

Claudette. Yes.

I've been meaning to ask you, will I be able to get more work? I really need the

money. Oh, of course.

Oh, in fact, I forgot to tell you.

You should see Paul Wright away.

He says he can set you up any time you want.

Any time.

He's got a lot of customers.

Can you not be working by myself?

Yes, sometimes.

Sometimes with me.

Sometimes without him.

Well, I'd certainly prefer working with you.

But I guess I can't have it my way all the time, huh?

Not in this business, kid.

It's really great, babe.

When we both keep this up, I'll have the debt paid off in no time.

Claudette said I did very well.

And that I'm a natural.

She even thinks I'll be working very regularly.

Hmm. It's just great.

I'm proud of you, baby.

It was so easy.

It just felt great.

I really just fell right into it.

That's just fine.

Is there something wrong?

Just remember, when the debt's paid off, you're going to have to quit.

Quit? Why?

What do you mean, why?

I don't want my old lady being a jerk -off fantasy for a bunch of perverts.

What about the money?

When the debt's paid, we don't need it.

What's wrong with you?

Do you like doing that shit?

No.

I just... All right, well, just forget it then. I'll make the money in this

family. All right.

Want to jump into bed?

Oh, I'm really tired.

You know, it's hard work. I think I'll just lay down by myself for a while,

okay? Sure.

I've got to pack some coke for tomorrow anyway.

It'll take me a couple minutes.

My life, I'll do what I want.

My, my, my.

How do I get home?

How do I get home? How do I get home?

What's that?

Thank you.

Ah, Joanna.

Hi. Come on in.

Thank you.

Is Claudette here?

Well, something came up. She had to go out.

She was back later.

All right.

So, it went all right?

Yeah, very well, I think.

Good. How about a drink?

Love it.

Claudette suggested I come by, so here I am.

Yeah, right. I got some more work for you if you're interested.

Are you interested?

Yes. Yes, I am.

I really enjoyed working with Claudette the other day.

Well, why don't you come on in and sit down? Join me.

Glad to.

So tell me...

What did Tony have to say about all this?

As far as he knows, I'm doing nude photography only.

Yeah, well... I don't really want to get involved in your private business.

Go to this address.

And when you're finished, go to the second one and meet Claudette.

All right. Everything here I need?

It's all there.

Okay, good.

You know, Claudette tells me you really seem to enjoy your work.

Very much.

That's good.

You have a beautiful body.

I could use a girl like you at the club for some dancing.

Do you like to dance?

I love to dance. Shall I show you?

Sure.

What of the day, the hour, when passion won't comply?

Cannot render truth a hope to satisfy.

When in stillness one awaits the warmth of someone's love, Christ's own heart

permeates, but can't come through none.

What of the moment, the instant, one can wait no more?

Frustration boils over.

Tears begin to pour.

When all is gone, one's alone, waiting in the night.

Soon one's mind begins to roll, pushing forward.

Oh, yeah.

I'm sure I could use you at the club.

Anybody gonna start?

No.

Amen.

This'll do.

But I was told to tell you it ain't enough.

You've got to come up with more the next time, you dig?

What's the difference as long as it's regular?

All I know is you've got to come up with more, you dig?

Mr. Kuduchi likes his money where he can use it. It ain't no good where you

can't use it, huh?

Well, I'm doing the best I can.

Look, you get that whore of yours working more.

What? Never mind.

Just get the bread in, Jack, you dig?

What are you talking about?

Check you later.

I'll have to tell him sometime.

I just can't go on living a lie.

You'll get used to it.

You know, before my divorce, I was living the lie for three years.

Maybe, but I think the other person can always sense it.

You even get used to that, believe me.

I just don't want to hurt Tony.

And on the other hand, I don't want to take pleasure from myself.

Not to mention the money.

Yeah, I'll have to give all of that to him.

That's right.

I just don't know what to do, Claudette.

Be cool for now.

I'm sure it'll pass.

But someday, you know... Listen, if it doesn't work out...

You can always move in with me.

What about that?

Well, that's very nice of you.

But I don't know. I just don't know.

Well, just stay cool for now.

And don't forget my offer.

It'll still be good. No, I won't.

Damn you, Tony.

You've got no right going through my things.

Whore. Fucking whore. And I've got to find out from a couple of greasy punks.

I am telling you, you have no right going through my things.

I send you out to make some money. You end up turning tricks and stashing money

behind my back.

Get it to me. It's mine.

You earned it, fucking.

How do you think I feel having a whore for an old lady?

You're the one who sent me out to work, remember?

To work, not to whore.

Stop calling me that. Just stop it. Look at this.

They're threatening my life for the money I owe and you're building up your

fucking private stash.

That bothers you. You're right, it bothers me. It's my life, you fucking

whore. Don't call me that!

Don't! Just give it back.

Oh, no, the money's going where it belongs.

I didn't run up your goddamn debt.

It's mine, so just give it back.

I'll tell you what's yours and what isn't. Oh, really?

Will you just try telling me when I'm gone?

Gone?

Where are you going?

Tony, I have got to be allowed to be myself.

What are you talking about?

You have never once considered how I felt.

I've got to have some freedom.

You're walking out on me?

I'm in a jam and you're walking out on me?

Tony, listen.

What'd you start this whoring for anyway?

I like it. You what?

I like it. I really like it.

And I'm not giving it up until I don't like it anymore.

Jesus, Jo, what happened?

You sent me out.

I had to. What was I supposed to do? Let them kick the shit out of me, huh?

Would that be better?

Here.

Take it. I'll find another way to pay it off.

Just forget about all this, huh? Here.

I don't want it.

Joanna. I have to go, Tony. I just really have to go.

Where are you going?

Hey.

That's the way it is, Tony.

Look, Tony, I've got an appointment.

Later I'm going to stay at Claudette's.

I'll give you a call tomorrow.

Join us.

I'll get some money to you, I promise.

I'll see you later.

Bye.

Hi. Hi.

Well, it's nice to see you.

Yeah.

Joanna left me. Sorry to hear that.

She'll be back.

I was counting on her to help me pay off that debt.

They're threatening to get rough with me.

Well, I have a present for you.

That's not enough.

I'll pay you the rest tomorrow.

Look, I really need the money now, badly.

Well, I'll have it for you.

I always do.

You mustn't worry so.

Oh, darling, you're such a dear.

I'll pay you in a couple of days.

Come here.

Kiss me.

Oh.

Amen.

Mmm.

Thank you.

Now, if that ain't a pretty picture, we ought to send that as a postcard back to

Detroit. Dig yourself, Andy. Shut up, man. It's hard enough concentrating

without you running your mouth like that.

Shit. These white boys don't know how to fuck.

The only thing they do is shut their eyes and hope it goes to the right

Dig yourself. Shut up, man. Dig what you're doing.

How's it going, babe?

I'm loving it.

When are you coming over?

As soon as the snowman arrives.

Yo, look here.

Don't be bogarting that jug. Run it over here. Give me a taste of that fang.

Yeah, all right. And make sure you don't spill any on that hoe either.

Say, Andy, do like he says, man. Be quiet.

Turner, come.

Shit, Turner, there's still a free hole left if you just turn around so I can

get to it.

Some respect.

Come on, Mama, strap it to me.

Take it all.

That must

be the snowman.

Now we can all start to fly.

Said you wanted a score. Yeah, what'd you get?

I got two bags like you said you needed, right? That's right on the nose.

Everything copacetic? Everything is cool.

Hey. Hey, baby. Here we are.

All right, all right, all right.

Sweet shit.

Flight 505 to tower.

Clear for takeoff.

Come on, give me a second.

I got my shotgun here.

That bounty.

Get me a shower, wake my ass up.

Look here, lady sweet.

Don't hurt nobody now.

Okay, bitch.

Let's get some action downtown.

Come on, baby.

Do it up, baby.

Come on, man.

I'm trying. Come on.

Turn her.

Turn her.

She'll have some coke up her nose, man. She's fading on me. Come on, baby.

I'll do it.

I'll do it.

Take one at a time.

Nice big one. Do it all day.

Here we go. Okay, come on, baby. Come on. Do it up now.

Do it nice.

All right?

Come on.

Come on, now. I said do it. That's not the way.

I see.

We've got to talk.

Listen, you just don't run out on these people.

I had to leave after Joanne. I know. I understand.

The problem is now they've got it fixed in their minds that you walked out on

them. And worse than that, that you insulted them.

I'll get the money back.

They'll probably kill you for the insult.

What am I supposed to do?

Let me talk to them.

I'll do everything I can do, but listen, pal, you've got to get that bread up

fast.

Send the neighbor of yours down to me and I'll fix her up.

Fucking crazy.

You think I'd send somebody else out to be killed?

Hey, that was an accident.

It never happened before and it's never going to happen again. How the fuck am I

going to stay in business if all my broads get killed?

Look.

It's your life, pal.

What's it worth to you?

Send her down to me and I'll have her work at night and day.

Come on now, get out of here.

Sharon?

What?

I'm in a bad fix.

I'm going to ask you to do something for me.

For you anything?

What's the answer?

I owe some money.

People I owe are threatening to kill me if I don't pay soon.

But Jesus, I'll do anything.

Detentions?

Her? Yeah.

Sure.

Sure, why not? I mean, Christ, they're going to kill you.

Sure you can handle it?

I guess I'll have to.

You saved my fucking life.

Okay. You two get yourself together and come back here.

I've got the name and address of somebody here to see, okay?

Okay.

And look your best.

I want you to feel like class, at least.

Okay, hurry it up, huh?

I got a delivery to make.

Look, everybody's waiting. The whole fucking town is waiting, all right?

What do you

guys want?

Set up.

I got orders.

No bullshit from you. We got someone who wants to see you.

Look, I've been taking care of everything. Paul said everything's going

cool. Shut up, I said.

Let's go.

Either you come or I shoot you right here.

And what's it going to be, pal?

You're taking me to Canucci?

Come on, let's go. Huh?
