1 BACKSTAGE DRESSING ROOM - NIGHT 1
RENEE
Five says Alice is the first to
crack. The blonds never last long,
never.
(flashes cigarette holder)
GINA
Five more says you get paid a visit
tonight
RENEE
And why would you say that
GINA
Money, mouthing off, general state
of bitching
RENEE
(lowers voice)
I haven’t pocketed any sense last
month. I know the consequences now.
Plus, I have a better idea now. One
that will turn this place inside
fucking out.
GINA
Yea, its probably just as brilliant
as your last one.
(mocking high voice)
We’ll only pocket a few greens
everynight, the boss will never
catch on! And in less than a year
we will have enough dough to open
our own joint. We’ll be giving...
RENEE
(cuts her off)
Vick.
(returns attention to vanity)
VICK
Muliple. Hits.
(pause)
One night. Multiple hits. I don’t
care about you. Your’e my
investment. If you want to end up
(MORE)
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 2.
VICK (cont’d)in the piles of dead showgirls
nobody is looking for, you’ll get
one tonight. If you want the
alternative, make me proud.
Mulitiple. Hits. Enhance your
soulless existence and be the best
god damn whore in the room.
(he eyes a smirking a Renee)
VICK
You got something to say?
(gets inches from her face)
Do you have. Something. To say?
(heated pause)
RENEE
The ugly on you is too distracting
for me to even form a coherent
sentence. If I wanna talk, I’ll
send a message boy.
(she pushes past him)
VICK
You walk out of this room bitch you
can keep walking!
RENEE
You like to watch me walk Vick?
(sways her hips in a show like manner)
VICK
You’re one lucky bitch Renee, just
know the only reason you’re not
dead is because you’re my best
investment. But whores are no god
damn rare roses. A wench with a
decent rack and a face like yours
comes here and you’re gone. Gone.
Like that.
(snaps fingers)
Just know, that’s how replaceable
you are to me.
