CUT TO:

73 INT. JACK'S VAN - MOVING - DAY (music over into radio)

Amber is driving the van, Buck is in the passenger seat trying to figure

out why the radio isn't working and speaking;

BUCK:

If you were to open a business

specializing in, like, Super-Super

Hi-Fi Stereo Equipment -- forget it,

you're in the money. I mean, there's

no limit to the technology that's

comin' out now --

AMBER:

Really?

BUCK:

That's a fact.

AMBER:

So what's wrong with this radio?

BUCK:

I think it's . . . uh . . . it's a wattage

problem . . . yeah . . . we've got too many

watts per channel going into the front two

speaker . . . yeah . . .

IN THE BACK OF THE VAN:

Reed, Dirk and Jack are huddled, speaking intensely;

JACK:

-- what else?

DIRK:

That's it for now. I mean: I look

at this character Holmes has come

up with -- and -- look -- I just --

JACK:

Tell me.

DIRK:

I don't like to see women treated that way.

This guy he plays, "Johnny Wad," it's always

about slapping some girl around or whatever.

It's not right, it's not cool and it just . . .

isn't sexy. It isn't sexy like it should be.

REED:

We could make it more of a James Bond

character. This guy that's world traveled.

JACK:

I like that.

DIRK:

Reed could play my partner.

JACK:

I like this a lot.

DIRK:

We could make it really good, Jack.

Honestly. If you direct it . . . we could

make a whole series, with a whole story.

This is exactly what we've always talked about.

JACK:

I know it. I know it.

REED:

We should do this.

JACK:

Alright. When we get back. We'll set up

the typewriter and we'll see what we can

come up with. I'll talk to the Colonel when

we get to Vegas. But Dirk, you gotta work

on him too, okay?

DIRK:

Right, right.

JACK:

-- if we don't put every element into this,

it's just not gonna work --

DIRK:

Exactly.

JACK:

Now:
What's this guy's name?

This character? Do you know?

DIRK:

His name is Brock Landers.

REED:

His partner's name is Chest Rockwell.

JACK:

. . . those are great names.

75 INT. ALADDIN HOTEL/CASINO - BANQUET ROOM - NIGHT

The "2nd ANNUAL ADULT FILM AWARDS." Behind a small PODIUM and in front of a

packed to capacity CROWD of porn filmmakers is --

AMBER. She's about to open an envelope.

AMBER:

And the award for "Best Newcomer"

goes to . . . Yes! My baby-boy . . . DIRK DIGGLER!

JUMP CUT TO:

COLONEL JAMES. He's on stage, rips open an envelope.

COLONEL JAMES:

. . . the award for "Best Cock"

goes to . . . Here We Go Again . . . DIRK DIGGLER.

JUMP CUT TO:

A Porn Actress, JESSIE ST. VINCENT (early 20s). She opens;

JESSIE:

And The Award . . . for Best Actor Goes To . . .

I've seen his movies and I can't wait to

work with him, I can't wait to get that big

cock in my mouth, my ass, my p*ssy or any

which way he'll give it to me . . . Mr. Dirk Diggler!

The Audience Applauds wildly. Dirk, dressed in a jean outfit, makes his way

to the stage and accepts the award from Jessie. He turns to the crowd.

DIRK:

Wow. I dunno what to say . . . I guess. Wow.

I guess the only thing I can say, is that

I promise to keep rocking and rolling and

to keep making better films. It seems we make

these movies . . . and sometimes . . . they're considered

filthy or something by some people . . . but I don't

think that's true. These films we make can be

better . . . they can help . . . they really can, I mean it.

We can always do better -- and I'll keep trying

if you keep trying so let's keep ROCKING AND ROLLING.

AUDIENCE APPLAUDS. Jessie St. Vincent comes over and plants a deep, wet

kiss right in his mouth;

JESSIE:

You're hot.

Amber, in the audience, sees the kiss and frowns. Dirk raises the award

high above his head and does a karate move --

hair slicked, chewing on a toothpick and smoking a cigarette, wearing a

suit and sunglasses is sitting at the bar. She speaks to the Bartender
