Remind me to give Adrian a

couple of days off.

Jay, what would 20%

of Debbie's script price

plus 15% of 8 girls working for 3 weeks

on a basic contract be?

$800 each per girl?

That comes to...

$23,400.

It's not nothing.

Looks like she's concluded the deal.

That girl has talent.

I don't know about filmmaking, but...

she's got something.

Welcome back to Paradise.

Finally! The late rush! Come in!

Come in! You want crab? We got crab!

Sorry.

Don't be sorry, Just come back.

Can I be the vampire?

- Ally, come to the stage.

- F*** off, I'm not coming!

What's going on?

- He said he would pay us today.

- We haven't been paid for 48 hours.

Ray said he would pay us tonight.

Of course, because we are stupid.

Just relax, we have our show to do.

It's going to be cool - with managers

and agents

Debbie, this is where you

have opportunity.

I make for ME, not for Ray.

I need money.

Come on - why are we working without

getting paid?

Can we go to the grocery with Ray dollars?

Are you deaf?

Can't you hear the speaker?

I don't go - I don't work.

Johnny, there's a revolution here.

Everybody's going to be paid.

When?

After the show. When everyone

is finished.

The same promise as yesterday.

I never promised anything yesterday.

Come on, Debbie! After the show, you

will get paid!

This is the last time. I want to be paid

after Johnny performs

- Tonight you get paid!

- I want paid after Johnny's performance!

- You can't work for no money.

- I promise.

"The only thing harder than winning the

lottery is losing the f***ing ticket. "

- I'm pulling the plug tonight.

- No money...

Club is closing...

Thanks to all and goodnight.

Luigi - time to see these fellows out

the door.

Come on - thank you.

Good night, The club is closed.

Come on guys. Luigi...

Thank you and goodnight.

Come on guys, Come on!

Look at this - they're throwing them out!

Are you people crazy?

This isn't a cabaret, guys.

Come back tomorrow.

This is not a club.

I don't know what it is.

These people are losers!

She's sweeping the floor? What are

they - nuts?

We got ten minutes! Let's get this sh*t

out of the way!

Tomorrow they are coming to

measure the place!

I don't give a sh*t what we says to me,

I'm not even going to listen!

- You want to dust that?

- I'm not crazy!

I'm a real estate person!

I know what I'm talking about!

These people are losers! He was a

born loser, he's always been a loser

and he will always be a loser!

Be patient!

In the middle of the night

she's cleaning the chandelier!

Lillian, we've been doing this for 6 years.

Every Thursday night.

And for 6 years, you've been

losing money!

We're giving these kids a chance!

- What chance?

- We got agents and talent scouts coming in.

Are you crazy?

You are crazy! Nobody comes here!

Nobody comes here!

Okay!

All agents and managers please

come to the velvet rope.

No agents or managers?

Is that...?

Is everyone here?

Okay, you are relatives too?

Test, test, test.

Do they are have customers coming in?

I don't believe it.

Live customers?

I don't believe it.

These people were waiting outside?

Come on, we got an audience.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

Welcome to the Ray Ruby Cabaret.

Find out what these people want to drink.

Got a lot of talent tonight. It is

going to be a good show.

Welcome, welcome.

How are you? Pleased to see you.

- See we have an audience.

- Are these people paying?

Of course.

These people actually pay to get in?

- Give me another drink.

- This is Cabaret Night.

We're trying to give these kids a

chance to show their talent.

Good evening!

Welcome to another Thursday night!

It's nice to see so many familiar faces

and even some new ones.

Do you remember me?

Of course - how could I forget?

We have a wonderful show tonight.

We will warm you up

with our first talent, who is from

Siberia.

Let me introduce you to the

bewitching Tania!

- You can do it? You are okay?

- Yeah.

Wasn't she wonderful?

You know what they say? A day without

culture is a day without...

...you know what I'm thinking.

Our next act is from Paris, France.

From the ballet schools of

beautiful Paris:
Sophie!

Make it very pretty. I like to look

in the mirror and say,

"I am beautiful. I have a secret

and somebody loves me. "

I am beautiful. I have a secret

and somebody loves me.

I gotta tell you, Baron - I can't take

my eyes off that new girl.

Where did you find her?

I didn't find her. Ray found her.

Ray?

Now for a dramatic reading from

William Shakespeare

from our resident closet thespian

and all-around

poetic, soulful guy - Bobby G!

Friends, Romans, countrymen,

Lend me your ears.

I come to bury Caesar,

not to praise him.

The evil of men does live after them

and the good is inherited in their bones.

So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus

has told

you that Caesar was ambitious;

if their was so grievous a fault

and grievous has Caesar answered it

here under leave of Brutus and the rest.

For Brutus is an honorable man.

Wow! How does he remember those lines?

Our own Marlon Brando.

How do we remember anything?

When you forget something really

important and,

how do you get back?

F*** me! F*** me Jay!

Sorry, it's been a long night

and I enjoy my work, but sometimes

things get misplaced.

I can't find things;

I don't know who's doing what,

but we are all happy here at

Ray's Paradise Lounge!

I don't know what to say.

Sometimes, things are ahead

of their time.

So I invite you to enjoy the

avantgarde artistry

of our very own, Domino and Dolly.

You're killing me. I'm trying to

make something here.

Why did you start it if you weren't

going to finish it?

Johnny, I swear to God I love you but

sometimes...

I can't even believe that you're
