Death of a Vegas Showgirl Page #5

It's not right!

It is, baby.

You have to trust me.

It's all good.

What do I have to do, huh?

Leave me alone.

Baby, shh.

Listen to me.

I know you love me.

Then why do you do that?

I didn't do anything.

That was Lisa.

You know me and Lisa.

She just...

You're unbelievable.

You're blaming this on her?

It's all you, Blu!

You're a narcissist!

I'm calling

the cops!

No, no, no!

No! No!

Listen! Listen!

I-I-I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have

done that.

Come on, listen.

I know you love me.

Why you doing this?

Why you doing this?

Stop! You're hurting me!

When I need you,

you're not here.

Stop, you're hurting me.

You, baby,

you make me do this.

I needed someone,

and you weren't

there for me.

Baby, don't do

this to me.

I'm going to need

a statement.

Ma'am?

We can't arrest him unless

you tell us what happened.

I love you, baby.

Keep quiet.

The neighbor said

he assaulted you.

You need to make

a statement.

He's a total bastard.

I know it was hard,

but you did the right thing

by pressing charges.

Even after all this, I...

I'd take him back.

I know it's crazy,

but I... I love him.

Debbie, please don't say that.

It's the truth.

He makes me happy.

I remember when I first met him

last Christmas.

Right from the start,

it was...

it was so perfect.

I don't know...

He was screwing around on you,

and not just with her,

but with

other girls, too.

Well, part of me doesn't care

who else he is with, okay,

because when he's with me,

he's only with me.

No one else matters.

Okay, listen.

Do you hear

yourself?

My God, Debbie,

he is not the right guy

for you.

You are way better than that!

You are a strong,

determined woman.

Listen...

No man who physically abuses you

is the right man, okay?

He could have done

anything else

other than hurt you.

If you don't see that,

then you need some help.

Some professional help.

Debbie, please...

promise me that you won't

go back to him, okay?

You're right.

I promise.

Thank you.

Get some rest.

...Colgada estoy del vacio

Come on, ladies.

Cuando

tu no estas conmigo...

Smile, people.

Let's see those

pearly whites.

...Y el amor que tu mes das

I'm sorry.

That's okay.

Stay in it.

Deb, concentrate.

Me sabe a lluvia y sal

Hace que no pueda mas

- Y estoy

- Come on, focus, Deb.

I should be starting

forward, right?

Yeah.

What is...

I'm sorry.

Deb!

Hey, you coming?

Are you sure?

Everyone will be there.

I'm so sorry about the way

I left rehearsal.

It's okay.

Everyone knows

what you're going through.

Don't.

Debbie, you have texted him,

like, a hundred times.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

It's over. I swear.

Well, if you change your mind,

you know where we'll be, okay?

Hey, Debbie.

Hey, Deb.

We need to talk.

Hey, girls, can you

give us a minute, please?

Look, I know

you're trying,

but your focus

is just not there.

I know. It's been

rough lately.

You know what?

Excuses,

they just don't fly with me.

I need my dancers

to be living, breathing,

and sleeping this number,

and I don't think

that you are.

I created

this number for you.

We are three weeks away

from opening.

Do you have any idea

how close you are

to losing

this opportunity?

Take Thanksgiving weekend.

Go see your sister in Atlanta,

and just

clear your head.

No, I...

I need to rehearse, Kevin.

I don't want to go anywhere.

It'll be good for you.

This is the last time

we're having this conversation.

You understand?

Every ounce of your energy

goes into this,

nothing and no one else.

Okay?

I'm not seeing him anymore.

Blu's out of my life, Kev.

I swear.

Kev, I'm in this.

Blu?

Are you kidding me?

Where are you?

You're leaving tomorrow.

I know, I know.

I'll be home soon.

Okay.

Okay.

I love you.

Hurry home.

Hey, sis!

Hi, Mami.

I'm good, Mami.

He plays the music,

and it was a salsa.

You have

to eat something.

Mom, I'm not hungry.

What happened

out there?

Nothing.

You never were

a good liar, sis.

On the contrary,

I was the best.

Ooh, the truth

comes out.

You are coming home

to stay, yes?

Mami, no.

I'm just visiting.

I'm not moving here

back to Baltimore

with you, okay?

We're so happy you're here,

baby girl.

No se preocupe, mama.

They miss you

so much.

Well,

I'm a pretty awesome aunt.

You were.

That's a crappy thing

to say.

It's my really bad way

of saying I miss you.

Things okay?

You wouldn't be here otherwise.

Um...

well, I have some things

to work through,

but I'm fine.

I'm fine, sis.

Don't worry.

I love what I'm doing.

Dancing

is this incredible rush,

and it's like the music

takes over

every cell of my body,

and I can't stop moving.

I love it.

There's nothing like it.

It's better than sex.

No way.

Yes, it is!

Well, maybe a close second.

And?

Que?

Don't "que" me!

Who is he?

No one.

Oh, I don't believe

that for a second.

I know you don't like

to be alone.

I'm alone.

Mom and I worry about you, Deb.

Please don't.

It's a mother's job

to worry.

It's genetic.

"It takes over every

cell of my body."

I just have to concentrate.

You know, this solo,

it's a big chance for me.

Maybe Vegas

hasn't changed you.

You're still

so determined.

Just remember

where you come from, Deb...

where your home is,

who truly loves you.

Tu familia.

I know.

I know.

Wow.

You're here early.

Yeah, I'm a dancer.

The lead, actually.

Listen...

I know I've been a b*tch,

and I've let some people down,

so it's time

I got my act together.

I'm telling you,

I'm going to be the best dancer

this town has ever seen.

I'm glad I went home

for Thanksgiving.

I feel so good.

I'm energized.

I'm focused.

Glad to hear it.

Ready to do some work?

- I'm ready.

- Let's go.

Let's do it.

I was surprised

to hear from you,

I have to admit.

Was it the 250 grand?

Well, the money

will help,

but the assault charge

happened a while back,

so it's time to

settle this, you know?

It's more about closure.

I want it behind me.

I understand.

I've been in contact

with the opposing counsel,

and they are not

overly receptive.

Did you threaten

collection proceedings?

Not yet, but my guess is

that we're going to have to.

Okay, then enforce a court order

and collect the money.

Okay.

You know,

I've got to say,

if you ever decide

you want to become a lawyer,

you should give me a call.

I could always use

a good associate.

Thanks, but I think

I'll stick to my dancing.

Lot less stress, I bet, huh?

I wish,

but on the plus side...

the money sucks.

Five, six, seven, eight...

Tienes vidita mia

una mirada que me fascina

Tienes una sonrisa que

me enloquece y que me domina

Colgada estoy del vacio

Cuando tu no estas conmigo

Y el amor que tu me das

Me sabe a lluvia y sal

Hace que no pueda mas

Y estoy

Oh, baby

Oeoeoe

Oeoeoa

Oeoeoe

Obsesionada

Oeoeoe

Obsesionada

Yes!

Everyone,

that was good.

That was good!

Costumes look good.

It was sexy.

All right,

call time is 10:
30.
