From Straight A's to XXX Page #7

Forget about all the gossip.

What gossip?

Oh, it's nothing.

Just some girls are complaining

and calling you a diva.

It's nothing, really.

Just typical stuff.

It's gonna be ok.

Ok?

Looks like you did quite well.

Yeah, I guess.

I still have to pay for hair

and makeup and travel,

so maybe I made like $500.

But you didn't have to go

down on anyone.

Yeah.

Hey, have you heard that people

have been calling me a diva?

Don't worry about that.

Why would anyone say that?

Belle, you're new. You're hot.

You booked a lot of jobs.

The other girls,

they're just jealous.

But I really want people

to like me.

They do.

Over here.

Dora.

Hey, what's going on?

Nothing, we're just

heading inside.

Um, no.

Something's wrong.

Why don't your friends like me?

Listen, you're really

pissing people off

with all your press.

I was just trying to put out

a positive message.

Talk to you later.

You ok?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I tell you what.

If you ever feel like you're

becoming your alter-ego,

that's when you should

be worried.

You have to keep fantasy

separate from reality.

That's how you protect yourself.

They're waiting for you

out there.

Good luck.

On behalf of the Risqu

Awards Committee,

I am especially excited to

present our final category.

And the winner for Best Newcomer

goes to...

Belle Knox!

Alright!

Thank you.

Oh my gosh, you guys.

I just-I want everyone

to know

how much this award means to me.

I really love this business,

so thank you for being like

my new family.

There goes the spokesperson

for the entire industry.

Belle Knox.

Dora.

Hey, can I hang with you?

No.

Go find someone else

to cling onto.

Why are you being like this?

You really don't get it, do you?

Nobody asked you to go on

every show and blog

and speak for us.

You've been in this industry

for five minutes

and you don't know

what you're talking about.

But you love that spotlight

and I guess that's the most

important thing, huh?

No, I-I was trying to help.

Yeah, trying to help yourself.

None of us need or want

your help, ok?

I thought we were friends.

We hung out a couple of times

but we hardly know each other.

Wow, are you really that naive?

Hey, baby.

Don?

It's just-just me.

What are you doing in my room?

Get out!

Don't worry about it.

I just-I told front desk

we were friends.

And maybe greased

the wheels a little bit.

Get out of my room!

Relax.

I got money.

How much do you need?

Get out of my room!

I don't want your money!

Get out! Get out!

Get out of my room!

Go!

Ok, you're right.

Are you checking out, too?

Can you believe they're having

some sort of smut

convention here?

I mean, I was told

this is a good hotel

to bring my family to.

I'm gonna give them a piece

of my mind.

These people are disgusting.

We can't stay here.

Yeah, it's crazy.

You go to Duke?

That is an excellent school.

Your parents must be proud.

Be right there.

Hey.

What's going on?

Can I come in?

Yeah, sure.

Where are you coming from?

An adult industry convention.

I don't want to talk about it.

I just want to make sure

we're ok.

Yeah. We're ok.

It's just...

you have this whole other world

that you're a part of

and it's not easy to relate

to sometimes.

I know.

I just...

I thought I had found

this whole other family

and this place

where I sort of belonged.

But it really wasn't

like that at all.

And you have been so awesome

and so supportive and I am

so grateful for that.

You're wearing my necklace.

That's what friends do.

What you're trying to do,

it's a lot.

It's a lot to take on.

It'd be a lot for anyone.

This all started because I just

wanted to pay for school

and now everything has gotten

so out of control.

It's like I blinked and

my entire life changed.

You made a choice.

And you owned up to it.

So who cares if other people

judge you?

The last few months

have been crazy,

but you're only eighteen.

You're not supposed

to know everything.

You've got your whole life

ahead of you.

Thank you, Jolie.

I'm just not really sure

what I'm supposed to do next.

Anything you want.

Having sex on camera is not

the only thing you're good at,

that's for dang sure.

Thanks.

Any time.

I grew up in a very

conservative family.

And while I remain conservative

economically,

I feel much more

socially liberal

and in line with libertarian

ideals and themes

such as free speech, choice,

and autonomy

when it comes to what you

do with your own body.

Whether I choose to be a

sex worker or a social worker,

I don't need the government

telling me how and what to do

and interfering with

my personal liberty.

Hey, Miriam. Can we talk?

We'll just be over here.

Last time we did that

things didn't go too well.

I tried to be fair.

I was much kinder than

those talk show hosts.

That's true.

I know you tried to be fair.

But I'm trying to keep

a low profile, so...

Just out of curiosity,

are you still doing porn?

I mean, off the record.

Let's just say I'm re-focusing

some of my energy

on the bigger picture.

What is the bigger picture?

I mean, what's next?

Politics.

Really?

Like you want to run for office?

One day.

How will you do that?

I mean, your videos

will always be online.

Our generation is changing

the world.

And so is the stigma associated

with a lot of lifestyles

that have generally been

on the fringes.

I believe that because I believe

in our country

and I believe that people

are good.

Don't you?

I'm not sure.

I'd like to.

I admire how you've

handled everything.

I don't know what

I would have done.

Well, you probably wouldn't have

done porn in the first place.

Yeah, probably not.

You're a tough chick, though.

I'm glad you're looking

to the future.

We can only move forward.

Take care of yourself.

You too.

Hey, Miriam?

I have to go.

It was really nice to see you.

It was nice to see you, too.

Oh, Miriam.
