(light switch clicks)

- [Marianne] Come on, Peter.

Get up, Hazel.

Suzanne?

Get your slippers on.

Suzanne?

Get your slippers on.

Hey, Suzanne.

- [child 1] They're already on. - [Marianne] Oh, you little devil!

Suzanne's going to be the first one in for breakfast.

Suzanne.

Suzanne, what were you doing?

Come on, eat your...

- [child 2] Come on.

Come on. - [father] Shut up.

(subdued music)

(subdued music continues)

(subdued music continues)

- [man] Hey, Marianne.

Look.

- [man 2] What'd she say?

Where'd she go?

(subdued music ends)

(machines whirring)

- Marianne.

(machines whirring)

Well, we haven't got all day.

(alarm ringing)

(funky music)

I have some extra work for you tonight.

- But I've got to be home to make supper.

- I called Raymond.

It's been arranged.

(funky music continues)

(Cindy sighs)

- Relax.

- You wanted to talk to me?

(chair rolling)

- Maybe I was too rash.

Maybe I'm the one that pushed a little too much.

What I'm trying to say is that I want you back.

- What for?

I want you to come back, take care of the girls.

- Forget it.

- I know you've been hanging around with Rocky.

I know exactly what you've been doing.

- Dan, why do you want me to come back?

- I want you back because I love you, and I need you here.

- You're a joke, you know that?

You're a real joke.

- Handel's here with a chick.

- What's your name? - Marianne.

- Marianne, I'd like you meet a friend of mine,

Cindy Deal.

This is Joe Handel.

Joe's an old client of mine.

Joe's always got his eyes open for new talent.

Cindy. - Hmm?

- If you change your mind, you'll let me know.

- Sure.

(ominous music)

- Marianne.

Very nice.

Marianne, I would like to invite you to a little party

some friends and I are having.

I know you just finished work and you'll want

to fix up a little bit.

I'm sure the girls will find you something terrific to wear.

Have Honey show her around.

_ Qkay-

(funky music)

(funky music continues)

All right.

You can get out.

- [Cindy] okay!

Okay, get into my car over there.

Quick. Get over there!

Do you want to know what they have waiting for you?

Get over there!

You don't move, and you don't follow us

because if you'll follow us, man, I swear

to God I'll ruin you for life.

Okay?

(footsteps)

(car door slams)

(engine revving) (funky music)

Hell, maybe I'm wrong.

Did you want to go up there?

- No.

I didn't know what was happening.

- They never tell you.

That guy back at the house is Dan Campbell.

He's like an agent, supplies the mob,

entertainers, politicians.

Anyone who likes kinky sex once in a while

and can afford it.

- Are you a friend of his?

- I used to be.

(funky music continues)

- [Eddy] Rita says she can't work tonight.

Says she's got a cold.

- Listen, baby, you've got to get out of here.

- I can't get out.

- Cindy's already said she'd help as soon as you're ready.

- I can help myself.

- Rita, wake up.

- Would you get off my back?

(ominous music)

- It's going to be difficult in the few weeks.

I've got my eyes on some new clubs.

You and I and the girls have to be working very hard.

I don't want any of the girls leaving

while this is going on.

Know what I mean?

- I'll make sure Rita shows up.

- [Cindy] What's your name again?

- Marianne.

- Why?

- I don't know.

It was like I had to.

- What do you mean, you had to?

Let that slimy mother put his paws all over you?

Nobody has to do that shit, you know?

Nobody does.

- If I didn't, there'd be all kinds of trouble.

Not even that.

Things were okay.

I had a job.

- So what?

There are millions of jobs around.

- If I didn't have that job,

Daddy Raymond would kick me out.

I couldn't leave the kids.

They need me.

Cindy,

it doesn't really matter,

as long as you're with the people who need you,

and who you need.

Does it?

(Cindy chuckles)

- You know, it's funny.

For a moment there, I was thinking, "This dumb chick."

Now I'm beginning to think maybe I'm the dumb one.

- [Eddy] Hey, Rita.

You're working tonight.

(ominous synth music)

- Fuck off.

(Rita gaSPS)

Oh, a real tough guy, huh?

Can't you see I'm sick?

(soft music) (chattering)

(soft music continues)

- Sorry, it's a private party.

- Got that guy, No-no.

- Wear a raincoat.

They don't call him slobberbox for nothing.

- Yuck.

- There's about one paying John out there.

- I know, it's old home week.

- Dan's crazy.

I wonder what he's up to.

- How are the girls, huh?

- The girls are okay, except for Rita.

I'm going to match her up with, uh, that guy Skohl.

But, uh, I don't think she's can even turn him on.

- I think it's time we get rid of her.

(soft music continues)

- I'm sorry, you know, I didn't mean to get

so uptight at you back there.

But, you know, I used to work for Campbell.

I used to whore for him.

Whoring wasn't so bad.

It was ticket out of the slums.

All those chicks who got their pussy

like Fort Knox.

They don't know what it's like.

They can afford to.

Them, you know... To have nothing in front of you,

but a job in a factory or get knocked up.

I used to think it was a square deal.

(soft music)

- [Cindy voice over] Jesus, was I dumb.

- So, tell me.

- [Cindy voice over] Right after I started working for Dan,

he put me in charge of the girls.

- [Dan] You got the money?

- Mmmhmm.

- [Cindy voice over] We became lovers.

- Everybody's going to have a new dress

by Monday night.

- [Cindy voice over] We were the most expensive girls in town.

In the beginning, he gave us everything we wanted.

(door knocking) (soft rock music)

- Who is it?

(door knocking)

Who is it?

(all chattering) (laughing)

- [Cindy voice over] Rita was my best friend.

But when she started doing heroin, Rita broke my heart.

- [Shaffer] What's for dinner, more tie-dyed t-shirts

and patent-leather wedges?

- Oh, shove it, Shaffer.

You won't get to borrow any.

- [Woman] Ooh, wow.

Wow. - [Rita] Here.

- Bartender.

Bartender!

- [Cindy voice over] Annie was the youngest.

She was like my kid sister.

- Will you marry me?

- [woman] I don't know. - Pick me.

Pick me!

Don't pick her. Pick me.

- What do you say?

- Marry me, and I'll make you a baby.

- [Cindy voice over] Rosemary's a real card.

Penny was there with her sister.

Diane was a tough kid.

Everything always seemed to go wrong for her.

And Heather, she was the quiet one.

- Six.

- [Cindy voice over] They were the only real family I ever had,

so when Dan started getting heavy,

I had to stick up for them.

- Let them go for a few days.

They're tired.

- I'm tired, Cindy.

Listen, baby, there's work to do.

(tires screeching)

- [Cindy voice over] One day he decided to make an example of Annie.

- [Dan] What are you doing here?

Start walking.

- Listen, a guy was, uh, was trying to get his kicks out

of punching Annie so I, I talked her into staying here

and talking to you.

I really don't think she likes working for you, you know?

- [Dan] Annie, come here.

You're gonna quit?

- Well I didn't come here to get beat up.

(Annie sobbing)

(Annie screams) My leg!

My leg! (Annie sobbing)

- [Cindy voice over] I tried to help her out of town,

and she was found dead a week later.

(engine revving)

I had a feeling I was next.

(upbeat music)

You've heard of the Rocky Tremblay?

The heavy in the French underworld?

I know his girlfriend, Marcy.

I went to her for help.

- Campbell's after me.

- Yeah.

- [Cindy voice over] Rocky likes me,

so he let me stay with him until Dan cooled down.

- You've heard?

' [ROCKy] Yes.

- [Cindy voice over] Dan hates Rocky because Rocky's

where Dan wants to be.

We used to keep in touch with Annie.

- She's dead, and he killed her.

- [Cindy voice over] Her sister was found dead last week,

and she fell to pieces.

That's why when I saw you at Dan's, I

couldn't let it happen to you.

- She's next!

- Listen to me.

We're going to do something soon, I promise.

You hear?

Okay, babe?

- [Cindy] Now I look back on it and I say,

"When your pussy goes for money, something else goes too."

(soft music)

- Go right down the hall.

Last door on the right, there's a chick

named Rita waiting for you.

Have a good time.

- For God sake's, Margo, stay out the corners,

giggling with the other girls.

Jones can't stand that kind of stuff.

Okay, you take that one.

Ever been to the Balmora?

- God, no.

Do they let women in there?

- There's two they will.

- Hey, Marianne.

It's past your bed time, ain't it?

- (chuckling) She came back for another look.

- Do you studs want to have a game?

- Sorry, we'd like to lady, but we got a rule.

We only play for money.

- I don't mind losing a few slots to you guys.

What do you say, 10 bucks?

- All we've got is four.

- What are you drunk or something?

- Dan told me I could with Minty.

- Minty wants me.

- Fuck what Minty wants.

- I'm going to go talk to Dan.

- You start that shit again and your head comes off.

(soft music)

- What the hell is she doing with Minty?

Get her to work.

(balls clattering)

(balls clattering)

(balls clattering)

(audience applauding)

(bottle spraying) - Hey!

What the fuck?

My dress!

Hey, wait a minute.

Let me take my dress off.

Oh, fucking shit!

(ominous music)

- [Dan] I just found out that Cindy ripped off that new chick.

You take care of Rita and meet me back at the house.

- See you later.

- What do you think you're doing?

- Look, Dan told me to take her home.

- What about my dress?

Who's gonna pay for it?

- Getting that dress off is your job, sister.

(tense music)

- What is it?

- I don't know.

(funky music)

But we're gonna find out.

(tires screeching)

(rock music on radio)

- Wanna have a party?

- American Graffiti.

Sure, friend, let me know when they throw you a wake, eh?

(engine revving)

- Quick, cut in front.

(tires screeching)

- Hey, what the fuck do you think you're doing?

(Cindy sighs)

- Listen, chicks, it's Friday night.

We're gonna have some fun.

Uncle Bob don't take "no" for an answer.

- Don't take "no" for an answer, eh?

Wanna have some fun?

Sure.

Let's have some fun.

Go get your friend. Tell him to come with us.

- All right.

Okay, it's in the bag.

Listen, these are typical douchebags.

They're out cruising too, man.

We're just gonna lay it on the line.

(music on radio continues)

(footsteps)

(door clicking)

(Cindy coughing)

Okay.

(engine revving)

You chicks from NDG?

- Nope.

- This here is Ernie.

And I'm Bob.

- Pleased to meet you.

- Where are we going?

- Somewhere quiet.

Where we can have some fun.

(crickets chirping)

- So.

Okay, you come up front, and I'll hop in the back

with, uh, Uncle Bob.

How's that?

Take your pants off.

(Cindy giggling)

- I like to be talked to first. - [Bob] I like you, baby.

_ Qkay-

Well, um what's your name?

- Marianne.

(Cindy and Bob moaning)

- You're a freshman, huh? - [Ernie] I don't know what to say.

- [Marianne] Well, what's your name?

- [Ernie] Ernie.

Ernie Kessler.

(knife clicking)

Holy shit.

- Tell your friend to drop his pants.

Come on. - [Bob] Do as she says, goddamn it.

- That's it.

Okay, now get out the car.

Okay?

That's it, that's it.

So you really think you can pick up two chicks and scare 'em

into it?

Have a bit more respect next time, okay?

Hmm?

- Yeah.

I, I guess so.

- Just turn around

and go next to your friend.

(door slamming)

(door slamming)

(footsteps thudding)

(door clicking)

(engine revving)

Gimme their things.

(Cindy laughing)

- That knife really scared me, you know?

- Ah, that wasn't dangerous.

You gotta be able to size men up, you know.

Guys like that are just blowhards.

Hey, you got a boyfriend?

- Yeah, sure. - What's he like?

- Well, he's very nice.

He likes to sit and talk for hours.

Well, I don't really have a boyfriend.

I never really had.

- What, that's crazy.

Yeah, we'll have to get you one.

(ominous music)

(ominous music continues)

(footsteps)

(door clicking)

Peter?

Want a beer? - Yup.

(Cindy laughing)

What are you?

What are you, some kind of a cock-tease?

- Oh, no one's ever called me that before.

- What about...

- Marianne. - What about her?

She's cool.

- Pleased to meet you.

- [Cindy] Dan was recruiting her as one of his new girls,

so I had to help her out, right?

- That must be why he called you.

- What? - He called here

about half and hour ago,

said he wanted to talk to you.

(ominous music)

- I called Tom... in New York.

He's sending up a couple of his people here.

When we get Rocky's clubs,

we don't have to take nobody's shit.

- She's already asleep.

- Dan's not going to sit down for this.

- I know.

Rocky and Marcy invited us up to lake tomorrow.

He'll help us.

And how are you?

(Cindy chuckles)

(Peter sighs)

- Yeah.

(Peter sigha)

(heavy breathing)

(Peter sighing)

(heavy breathing)

(Cindy moans)

(Cindy moans)

(Cindy moans)

(Cindy moans)

(both moan)

(both laugh)

(Peter sighing)

We did it.

(Cindy laughing)

(ominous music)

- Rita?

Rita?

(gasping)

(dramatic music)

- You know, your friend there, she's heading for trouble.

- Well, she's been waiting for a long time

to help those girls.

- You're a man.

Put some sense into her head.

- You know I can't tell her a thing.

(upbeat rock song)

I ain't got me no fortune

In my pocket

And I ain't go no resources up my sleeve

I ain't got the shivers

And I ain't got the blues

Just got me this river

And the barefoot shoes

I got no voodoo hoodoo

In my basket

And I ain't got no tuxedo on my back

I ain't got the shivers

And I ain't got the blues

Just got me this river

And the barefoot shoes

- Cindy, I don't like the way Campbell handles his business

any more than you do.

But if I pick a fight with him, it's going to be heavy.

So, there's got to be a reason.

And this thing with Marianne, no offense, honey,

that's no reason.

There's nothing I can do.

(funky music)

- ls Marianne with her?

- No.

- That's too bad.

(phone ringing)

- Hello?

- [Cindy] Hello, it's Cindy.

Is Peter there?

- No.

He went to spend a few hours working on the boat.

' [Cindy] Shit.

- Something wrong?

- [Cindy] I just saw Eddy.

I'm going to disappear in the can.

I'll call you later.

Bye.

(funky music continues)

(footsteps thudding)

Hi, Eddy.

- Hello, Cindy.

- [Cindy] What are you doing here?

(Cindy screaming)

(Cindy screaming)

No!

No!

(Eddy grunting)

(Cindy screaming)

(Cindy sobbing)

(Cindy sobbing)

- [Eddy] Now smarten up, bitch.

- Fuck you! (sobbing)

(footsteps)

(Cindy sobbing)

(footsteps)

- It's funny,

I guess I must have thought it was a game.

That nothing serious would happen.

But it's for real.

(soft music)

- Come on.

Your bath is ready.

(water splashing)

- We know you're gonna help a lot.

- I'm want to start picking up the girls.

(soft music)

I know it's not completely worked out, but I...

I feel I have to... now.

- I'm not impressed.

- I don't really know much about it,

but, well...

I'll do anything you want me to, Cindy.

(soft music)

- [Cindy] It's Graham's house.

I met him at Annie's funeral.

We can stay here at the beginning.

(soft music continues)

- [Graham] Hello.

- [Cindy] Hi. - [Graham] Hi.

- Wow.

(soft music continues)

- Peter, Marianne, this is Graham.

- What are you, chicken?

- Come on, honey.

If he finds me, he'll cut to pieces.

- You'd rather end up like Rita.

- I can still do Johns.

- What?

- So I had a bad week.

- You're full of shit.

- Yeah, well speaking of Rita, she split and it took Dan

about one week to get her back here.

- Dan didn't get her back.

Rita ran out of junk money, and she came running.

- Oh yeah, well what are we supposed to do,

live off Cindy for the rest of our lives?

- No.

We're going to get some bread together.

We're going to go off somewhere where Dan can't find us,

and we'll just... we'll stay until he gives up.

- Oh yeah, it's wonderful.

We'll hole up in some Gananoque somewhere,

turning in Coke bottles for the rest of our days.

- It's only for a little while.

- And then what?

I can't do nothing, honey.

I wouldn't last one day back in Montreal.

- Dan doesn't give a shit about us anymore.

If we sit around, we're going right down the tube with Rita.

We've got to try it.

- Ah, shit.

I don't know.

(funky music)

- You'd think she'd be on time for once.

Ah, there she is.

(funky music continues)

Holy shit.

Grab that.

Shit, shit.

- What the hell are you doing?

- What the hell do you think?

I'm trying to keep myself in one piece.

(funky music continues)

(car horn honking)

(footsteps)

- Rosemary, this is Graham.

- Holy shit.

What happened to the rest of the house?

(car horn honking)

- Don't worry.

She'll calm down.

As soon as she gets used to the place.

(car horn honking)

- Oh.

God, I hope it can happen.

(footsteps)

- We checked all their hangouts, but nobody's seen 'em.

- I don't like it.

- Well, what do you want?

- I just want to be smart.

- But you can't always be smart.

Sometimes you have to do things you feel.

- Cindy, I don't like your plan because it separates us.

It's you not being happy living here with me.

- No, it's not.

It's just something I have to do.

- Yeah, well, that's what so sad.

Such a strong drive in you,

all the pleading and bullshitting

from an intellectual like myself isn't going to even matter a bit.

- Come here.

(knock at the door)

- Marianne.

- She's supposed to be at Graham's.

(footsteps)

(door clicking)

(ominous music)

- Stay where you are.

Sam.

Stay here.

(footsteps)

(ominous music continues)

She ain't here, Dan.

- Where's the girl?

- Like the man said, she ain't here.

- Take him out to the car.

- Okay, let's go.

Come on.

(footsteps)

- You're going to get him back when we get the girl.

(footsteps)

(footsteps)

- Shit.

I gotta watch you all night.

I tell ya something.

I wouldn't try anything if I were you

because I'd beat the shit out of you just

for something to do.

- You can't leave tomorrow.

- Oh, come on.

I was next.

- Cindy says blow off tomorrow.

If Cindy says wait, we wait.

(soft music)

(soft music continues)

- Well, I guess I have no alternative.

If you won't back me up then give me a piece.

- Cindy, you don't want that.

- Are you going to give me a piece or another story?

It's only for muscle.

I've made up my mind.

If you won't help me, I'll go somewhere else.

(drawer sliding)

- [man] I hope I don't have to regret this one.

- Thanks.

(door clicking)

(footsteps)

(footsteps)

- What do you do?

- I'm a writer.

I write articles.

You know, tap, tap, tap, tap.

- Where's Cindy?

- At home I guess.

- Why don't you tell me where Rosemary is.

- Got me.

- You writers... try to be so convincing.

Sometimes it works, but only in books.

What you're looking at and what I'm all about is money,

and it's hard to come by.

And I don't like fuck-ups.

- I've got an idea.

Why don't you beat me up?

- No.

I might have you killed.

(gun firing)

- [Cindy] How does it feel?

- I'll get used to it.

- The trick, you see, is not to be intimidated by the gun.

If you're ready and willing to use it, you won't have to.

So make your moves very definite

'cause if he thinks you're afraid, you're in trouble.

(gun firing)

(engine hums)

Dan and Johnny Silver are like this, okay?

Dan books him into Montreal, shows him around,

gives him a good time.

I'd do this, Marianne, but he knows me.

He always eats at The Nelson before the show.

Dan sends a car to pick him up at around 6:30.

(funky music)

Okay.

You better go.

You're gonna be all right.

(funky music continues)

(funky music continues)

(funky music continues)

(funky music continues)

- Mr. Silver, may I have your autograph please?

- Well, sure, honey.

I'd be happy to.

- Mr. Silver, may I have a kiss?

- Well, why not?

_ Qkay-

This is a gun in your ribs.

Okay?

(funky music continues)

Now, go ahead.

- [Johnny] Rudy, take us down to Expo.

- Why don't you wait until after the show?

You got 20 minutes 'till makeup.

- Fuck the makeup, Rudy.

Just do what I tell ya.

- Okay, you're the boss.

(funky music continues)

(engine rumbling)

- [Cindy] Like I said, Dan.

When I get Peter, you get Silver back.

- Sam, get that kid.

Eddy, come here.

(funky music)

- [Marianne] Make it look good.

Come on.

Okay, now tell the driver to take a 20-minute walk.

Go ahead.

- Rudy, would you mind splitting for about 20 minutes?

- No, I don't mind.

(funky music continues)

- Thanks for the lift.

- Where is he? - I see him.

Over there.

- Why are all these damn people in the street?

(car horn honking)

Hey, where is he?

(funky music)

(funky music continues)

(funky music continues)

(all chattering)

(Cindy laughing)

- I knew I'd find you here.

- [Cindy] Did I do something smart for a change?

- Oh yeah.

Yeah.

Come on.

Let's get out of here.

(funky music)

- Do you have any idea what he does for the girls?

- Sure, provides the fucking Johns.

- No, you're wrong.

He takes care of them.

That's something they can't do for themselves.

They pay a price for it, but that's what they want.

- Where do you get off telling me that crap?

Sure, it's a trade-off.

Sure, they're sheep.

But that's not the point.

The point is that Dan's gone berserk.

He's not going by the rules.

In any other city, the mob would shut him down.

- Okay, I'll send two of my men over to that place,

but don't go back to your apartment.

Campbell's through being nice to you.

_ Qkay-

Thanks.

(tense music)

- How's it going, Heather?

- Fine.

- Remember when you first started to work for me?

Your sister was in some kind of trouble.

You needed some money.

- Yes.

- And now with that money she's going to school.

- Mmm-hmm.

- Rosemary's gone,

and I know someone helped her.

Do you know who helped her?

- No.

- It would mean some extra money for you and your sister

if, uh, you were to know anything.

Heather, look at me.

(creepy music)

There's no sense in kidding now.

Sooner or later, I'm gonna find Rosemary,

and I'll find anyone else who tries to split.

You'd be doing yourself and the girls a big favor

if you would just happen to hear or see anything.

Okay.

You better run along now.

You've got some work to do.

And Heather, remember, no one has to know.

(upbeat music on the radio)

All your kisses for me

Save all those loving smiles for no one else to see

And if your heart should stay remember what I said today

Keep all your kisses for me

- Graham,

why are you staring at me?

- [Graham] Because you're beautiful.

- Okay, Diane, you're on for tomorrow at Victoria Square.

- Holy shit, I can't believe it.

- He's going to find out, Diane.

I know it.

- Oh, fuck off.

(funky music)

(tires screeching)

- When did she leave?

- Some time this morning.

(doorbell rings)

Dan?

Dan?

- Yeah, what?

- Those guys from New York... they're here, outside.

- What?

- Here, outside.

- That's prefect timing.

Send 'em in.

Are you Tony?

- Yeah, Tony Pireto.

This is Sal Bianco.

- Sal.

Tom... has told me a lot about you guys.

- Yeah, we did some work for Tom, huh Sal?

- Yeah, you were up here last year.

You did that... number?

- [Tony] Yeah, that was us.

- How'd you do it?

- Well, we set it up by...

- Ah, Dan, you wouldn't like it if in six months

we was talking about this job.

- No.

You're absolutely right, Sal.

Sit down,

and I'll give you a rundown.

- What makes you think they're down here?

- Well, I suppose they fell through the hole.

I can't find any of my stuff in this crazy place,

and if I go crazy around here, Graham, I'm blaming you.

- Hey, Rose. You folks want to eat?

- [Rose] Yeah.

I'll be up in a minute. As soon as I finish with this crap.

- Oh, where they serve pink with green lace

and a rose on the side?

- Yeah.

- Well, I found them.

They were on the floor of the bathroom.

- Well, thank God somebody's got their tits together

around here, even if it's only you, Graham.

- Rosemary connected with her friend in Barthow,

and she's going to be leaving in two days.

- Well, that explains her terrific mood.

(phone ringing)

- Hi.

Cindy, it's for you.

- [Cindy] Okay.

Hello.

Yeah.

Where?

Okay.

Be right there.

BYE bye.

(ominous music)

- I wish Rocky would let us wipe this out

from the inside.

(ominous music continues)

- Hey, want me to do a strip number?

- Yeah, sure.

(ominous music continues)

- ls everything all right?

- Yeah.

- Tell you what you need.

You need a good man, that's what you need.

- I feel funny.

- You ever thought about Peter?

- He's your boyfriend.

- Are you going to tell me you never thought about him?

- I haven't.

- Hey, Margo and I have an act we do together.

Do you want to see it?

- Yeah. - Okay.

We have to go in the next room and get ready.

Be back in a minute.

No peeking.

(door closes)

- These Canadian broads are real hot numbers.

- Yeah, real friendly.

- Can I have the French one after you?

(funky music)

- Here they come.

(funky music continues)

(engine revving)

- What the hell is this?

Is this the way you people operate up here?

(laughter)

- You know, the one I really used to hate,

like really hate is the one that... when they used to say

"you remind me of..."

You know?

That one... "you remind me of.:

- [woman] "You remind me of my girlfriend."

- "Or my wife."

- "Or my grandmother, my toad."

- The one I love is when the guy says,

"l want you to give me a blowjob, but I'm afraid to ask."

- How about the "l love your soul" rap?

He knows you for about five minutes

and he's in love with your soul.

- Well, I think it's all so wonderful with all those cute

little, you know whats around. - Oh yeah.

- You can't take it, eh Peter?

- Sorry, the party's getting dirty.

(laughter)

Graham, you're gonna make somebody a great old man.

You know that? - That's true.

- I'm going to miss you when I go.

(chattering)

(soft music)

(doorbell rings)

- He's upstairs. - Okay.

- [Joan] Heather.

- Joan!

- Hi!

Hi.

Oh, you look wonderful.

Bet you're wondering what I'm doing here.

I got a call from your boss, Mr. Campbell.

He thought it would be a great idea

for me to come and visit you.

He sent some money and everything.

He even said there might be a job, that maybe I

could work this summer.

Oh, Heather, wouldn't it be wonderful?

The summer in Montreal?

- [Heather] Okay.

(phone ringing)

- Hello?

Where?

All right. We'll be there.

It's Heather.

She's ready.

(funky music)

- She could have picked a street

with a bit more traffic, eh?

I'm getting the creeps.

- You've got the creeps.

There she is.

(funky music continues)

How come you weren't on the corner?

- I was scared.

- You were scared to go on the corner.

That's bright.

- Is there anything the matter, Heather?

- No.

I'm just nervous.

- I love these out of town gigs.

Babes, they don't know nothing.

- Okay, guys-

Let's go.

Hey, what's this?

- Tonight, Eddy my boy, we're going to show you how

we do things in the Big Apple.

(footsteps)

- Hi, Heather.

- Hi, Nicole.

- Want some wine?

- No, thanks. I'm tired.

- [Marianne] She needs a bit of rest.

Come on, I'll show you where to lie down.

- [Rosemary] Something's rotten in Denmark.

. YUP-

I'll try and talk to her later.

- [Rosemary] You want me to stay around for a few days?

Help you out or something?

- Mmm-mm.

You're the first one out.

We all need that.

_ Qkay-

- Let's go for a drive, eh?

- What's going on?

- Something's happening, and I don't like it.

We're gonna go see Rocky.

(knock at the door)

(door clicking)

- Hello, Eddy.

Who are your friends?

- Customers.

- Eddy!

Eddy!

(ominous music)

(rock music)

- Listen, Rocky, I don't have time to fucking discuss it, man.

We gotta move them, you understand?

Fast!

(footsteps)

- The guy's out of town for a few months.

- [Cindy] This'll do fine.

Peter, get things ready.

I'll go get the girls, okay?

_ Qkay-

(ominous music)

- Hey, you got a light?

Thanks.

- From New York? - Yeah.

- I got a cousin who lives there.

- You don't say.

- Yeah.

- You ever seen one of these before?

(can spraying) (men gasping)

(men groaning)

(soft music on the record player)

- You want to dance?

- No, I don't feel like it.

- Come on. Get off my skirt.

Come on and dance.

- Okay. - Never mind.

[song] That's hanging too high

Up there in the sky

On a branch that I can't seem to reach

Oh tell me

Where are all the girls

Where are all the girls

Where are all the girls

That I read about in Playboy

Where are all the girls

Where are all the girls

Where are all the girls

For me

(engine rumbling)

- I'm gonna get some more wine.

(footsteps)

[song] Who when in the mood

Like to lay around nude

Looking beautiful there on the floor

(ominous music)

(footsteps)

(footsteps)

(shouting)

- Well, girls. - Goddamn pigs!

(guns firing)

(screaming)

(gasping)

(bullets fall)

- [Eddy] Take a good luck, girls.

Next time we play for keeps.

(funky music)

(footsteps)

- Rosemary?

Graham?

- Cindy!

(gun firing)

(Marianne screaming)

(guns firing)

(gun clicking)

- [Eddy] Okay.

You learned your lesson now?

Let's go home.

Come on.

Come on.

(Marianne gasping)

(Cindy sobbing)

(Cindy sobbing)

(Cindy sobbing)

(footsteps)

(Cindy sobbing)

(soft music)

(metal clanking)

(water splashing)

(birds chirping)

- [Dan] You look like a picture.

(birds chirping)

(footsteps)

- How is she?

- She's okay.

- [Rocky] I guess this place is as good as any

to wait him out.

I can't afford any more screw-ups.

Here's some pills to keep her calm.

The longer she stays in bed the better.

Understand?

(soft music)

- Four guys for the day after tomorrow.

Listen, I know they're expensive.

Good.

My friend, we're in business.

- I don't care what the word is.

If you're still sitting on the fence when this thing blows,

you're going to be picking splinters out of your ass.

- I don't want to tell that guy how to run his business,

but why are we waiting until tomorrow?

I think we ought to go in there and bust ass... tonight.

- [Cindy] Tell me.

- What?

- How many people are dead?

- Marianne and two of Rocky's men.

- And Honey?

- No one's heard from her.

It's not your fault.

- [Cindy] Whose fault is it then?

- Look, I know you, and I know that look.

And this time there's nothing you can do.

It's over. It's finished.

Rocky's handling it.

- I was stupid.

I was sure I knew Dan.

It's not over.

- Will you wake up?

- Aren't you trying to put me to sleep?

- Look, four people are dead.

- I thought it wasn't my fault?

- Please, baby.

You never listen to me anyway.

(Peter sighs)

- That's good. Now deal.

Wait, let me cut 'em.

(chattering)

(stairs creaking)

(soft music)

(chattering)

(suspenseful music)

(suspenseful music continues)

(chair creaking)

(footsteps)

. Eddy-

- Yeah.

Eddy, wake up. - Yeah. Okay.

- You all right?

(Eddy groans)

- [TV] She's wants it fancier.

I don't know, some Eskimos. Mounties...

(laughter)

- [TV] They took all the candles too,

so we just have to wait for the...

- [TV] How can we wait?

[TV] How about the bread?

- [TV] 24 cents a loaf,

and they said they're going to take all we make.

- [TV] Then we've got to make bread, lots of bread.

- [TV] Sure, man.

But you've got to have to wood to burn if you're going to make bread.

You can't make bread if you're out chopping wood.

(window clicking)

You can't mix in.

You'll get used to it. - [TV] That's just it.

(TV clicking)

(feet thudding)

(door opens)

(door closes)

- She's not here.

- Shit.

(phone rings)

- Hello?

I'll see if he can talk.

It's Cindy.

(doorbell rings)

You got any hardware, Cindy?

- [Cindy] No. - [Eddy] Let's make sure.

(door closes)

- Come here.

Sit down.

It's nice to see you again.

What can I do for you?

- I thought a lot about what happened.

- Now you want to apologize.

- Well, I... I want to come back.

- Come back?

I thought you never ever were going to work for me again?

I thought you never wanted to be associated

with vile people like myself?

What is it?

You wanna touch me?

You wanna make love to me?

- I've given it a lot of thought.

I was wrong.

I shouldn't have interfered.

- I think you should go out in the street

and sell your ass like a two-bit whore.

But you know that's not what I want.

You konw it's you I want.

- Whatever you want.

- You're a fucking liar.

You expect me to believe that?

- I'm not expecting, I'm hoping.

(tense music)

- Cindy, why do you do this to us?

Why do you pretend you're so strong, when all you want

is someone to take care of you?

You know what you're doing?

- Yes.

- That's what I always liked about you, Cindy.

You always thought you knew what you were doing.

(tense music continues)

Are you gonna shoot me?

- Yeah.

(gun clicking)

(tense music)

- [Dan] If I weren't going to kill you now,

I would take you back.

(tense music continues)

(Cindy screaming) (Dan groaning)

(Cindy screaming)

(Cindy breathing heavily)
