Alright, girls - let's see what you've

got!

C'mon girls, let's shake it! Let's

party up!

I'm a lucky man.

Gone already? But

show has just begun.

C'mon - you don't know what you're

missing.

- What's wrong with the girls?

- No, the girls were great.

C'mon, c'mon!

No,no. I gotta work tomorrow.

Next time. Next time.

One more minute...

Babylon?

Massapequa? Massapequa Park!

Amityville? Copague?

Yeah, thank you! Great!

Thank you!

Go home to your wives, you pussies!

Unbelievable, man.

Don't worry, don't worry...

Thursday night has started and I've

got a good feeling...

For a second there, I thought that

Bobby G. was starting a shift for them..

We ought to put the girls on the train.

They're working the late shift. Give me a rye.

I'll take another one too, Junior.

I thought we were off and running

tonight.

The show as just...

- How was it?

- Great! Great!

I was looking at you rather than the girls.

They're enjoying it. They're spending

like there's no tomorrow.

They seem to be enjoying it.

We're doing fine.

Ray - this is a great show,

but we're giving away champagne every

night and by 8:
30 we're empty!

What are we going to do?

Times are changing; we have to

change with them.

These Chinese guys are the future...

we have to rethink the demographics

of our audience.

Maybe more advertising in Midtown -

a lot of Chinese tourists in town now.

Here's a good idea: on Thursday and

Friday we have a "2-fer".

-"2-fer"?

- Yeah, they buy 1 and you give them 1.

It's not necessary - you talk like we're

going under or something.

Why give away when it's coming to us?

Just be patient. It's coming our way;

it's coming our way!

I've got a little surprise for you

later tonight.

Ray, you're the boss and what you

say I'll do.

Hey, Luigi? I had dinner with Charlie

Manson last night.

And you know what he said?

- What?

"Is it hot in here or am I crazy?"

- You know who I had dinner with?

-Who?

Jeffrey Dahmer.

- Really, and what'd he say?

"Who you gonna eat?"

Jesus Christ!

Thank you, Baron.

What's going on? I heard there's a

problem.

Do I look like a f***ing gangster?

Do I look like a gangster?

Monroe treats me like a gangster;

I'm a chef.

I'm a chef that prepares organic hot dogs.

- So why does he treat me like this?

- What's going on?

The dog ate my hot dogs!

- I'll take care of it.

- Now she wants to bring it in the kitchen!

- Not in the kitchen!

- It already happened!

- I'll make sure the dog stays out of here.

- Please. Thank you.

And besides, the Health Department...

We could keep it outside maybe,

where the girls smoke.

We can't have that, man.

The dog cannot be within 100 feet of

the kitchen.

I'll take care of it.

- Feel secure.

- I know you have my back.

- I do.

- By the way, how's the reality show coming?

We're very close. We have some

people interested;

its a fresh idea and they like you

very much.

And they love these hot dogs.

Wait - I've got to deep-fry and

microwave it.

No, I like it like this.

Like eating sushi.

It may seem like Nobu, but

is better than Kobe beef.

I have a cousin who's in the

record business...

...do you want to invest?

- No, I'm not interested.

I wanted to talk to you later about a

food court idea...

...something I've been thinking about.

Don't worry, I'll take care of the dog.

- Ray!

- Lillian, you look radiant.

Cut the crap, Ray!

Think any of these band could play

the Hora?

- The Hora?

- Jay, you never went to a Bar Mitzvah?

I don't think a strip club is the

place for a Bar Mitzvah.

Tough sh*t!

Why should I pay for a hall when

I own one right here?

Why try to be something we're not?

Especially when there's money around

the corner.

Yeah, at Chase Manhattan where you

guys don't have an account!

Listen to me:

you're 4 months behind on the rent

and I've got some guys coming here

tomorrow to take measurements.

Measurements? Like 36-24-36?

No, Ray. Serious people -

I'm talking about Bed, Bath & Beyond:

$ 18,000 per month, 99 years lease.

I can ask them if they'll give you

two guys a job.

Lillian, have faith. The club business

goes in cycles. We're growing now...

with the busiest months yet to come.

You haven't seen a busy month in your

f***ing life, Jay!

What's that?

A lottery ticket?

My God! What is it with you guys?

It's an old lottery ticket - what's

the big deal?

You guys are losers!

I'm going to close The Paradise!

And 4 months rent - don't forget!

F*** you Charlie Chan and your

#2 son as well!

- Ling!

- Here's your jacket.

What the hell happened?

Damn, you were the favorite.

This cost $9.95 now?

We even had you a tape made.

This is your bill.

You got some more there? I'll check

those as well.

Okay guys, here's another favorite -

Lola from Minnesota.

Junior, there's an art in what you're doing.

You're turning good booze into

moose piss.

- He's lucky Ray likes him.

- Yeah.

You're gonna get the place closed down.

Put that away.

If anyone sees that... sh*t.

The Baron will take care of it.

He's a bloody monster.

- Yes?

- Hey, Ray. It's Adrian and Dolly.

Okay - hang on.

Come in, come on in.

- Who is dancing now?

- Do not know, Sugar, I think.

Have a seat.

So what is it?

- We wanted to tell you something...

- Good news?

We are pregnant. No, I mean I'm

pregnant.

- No, she's pregnant.

- Congratulations. it's a beautiful thing.

How far along are you?

Stand up.

It's my 2nd month, but you can tell.

Dolly says you can tell a little bit.

- So you did the test?

- Yes, and I'm sure.

- I took 4 tests.

- Are you excited?

- Yes, she is happy, but I'm feeling...

- What?

- You have got to help us.

- I will.

I want you to be happy here. I don't

want anyone working...

that isn't happy here. This is like

a family.

I want everyone to be happy here

because this is our place.

So don't worry. Do you want to take

some time off?

The point is - we need our money.

- She can't dance... she doesn't want...

- Of course, she can dance.

We came from the doctor. She can't.

I mean, she could but...

We need a second opinion.

Do you remember Cleo? She

danced until the sixth month,

she was quite an attraction and the

baby's beautiful.

This case is very delicate.

Okay, you know what? You can take

some time off...

you can think about it...

but right now, you're here and we have

the show to do.

Just sleep on it; think about it.

- Okay?

- Alright.

- You will give you us the money, right?

- Of course, we take care of our people.

- I'm having a baby, please

don't let us down.

Okay - this is our baby.

F***! F***! F***! F***!

Fire! Fire! Fire!

Get back! Get back!

Go get the fire extinguisher!

Hope we still have insurance...

Why are you waiting

to call the fire department?

Don't think you're going to burn this

place down, you f***ing idiots!

My machine!

- That's a $5000 machine.

- $10,000!

What do I do now?

It's alright, it's okay.

Don't touch - it makes it worse.
