Give me a minute.

Wait, I just gave you $1,000.

Come on, gentlemen.

Tip your waitresses.

Chicago is trying to give me

$1,000 to dance for him.

Isn't he with Lexus?

No, everybody's dancing

with Chicago.

Come on, nobody's been offered

that much money, though.

Take it.

Are you sure?

I mean, I can't be making

any enemies.

No. Get the money.

Take it. Go.

Tasha to the main stage.

So, Monica tells me

you're a writer.

I am.

So, where were we?

Uh...

you want that dance?

So this is your first time

in VIP, huh?

Anything goes up here.

Even sex.

Well...

you'll have to get Lexus

if that's what you want.

Oh, really?

You think that's what

I want?

$1,000 is a lot

of money

just for a dance.

I don't want a dance,

sweetheart.

I just want to talk.

Talk?

I think we got off

on the wrong foot.

Let me reintroduce myself

to you.

Hi, my name is Jorge.

My friends like to call me

Chicago.

Monica.

My friends call me Mo.

Pleasure.

You've been drinking.

I'm pretty sure you just broke

rule number one.

You broke a lot

of rules tonight.

I think we need to re-establish

some guidelines.

So how'd you like your first

night stripping in the VIP?

I didn't actually strip.

I just talked.

Something you and I

aren't doing a lot of lately.

That's all

I'm doing now.

Just talking.

You like what you do?

You look like you were eating up

all the attention up there.

It's just acting to me.

So those guys touching

your breasts and your ass,

that's just

method acting, huh?

I look like I enjoy it.

The client is happy.

They buy more dances,

and we make more money.

Tonight that's all

the client wanted, was talking.

Yeah.

That's all.

So, who's your new BFF?

Chicago.

Well, Jorge, actually.

He wasn't a director,

but I think he owns

a record label.

He gave me $3,000

to help us out.

Just for talking?

Sounds like bullshit.

Bullshit? I'm just trying

to make money for my dad and us.

Don't let the money

change you.

Decided to plummet

into a bottomless hole

Where we gonna end up,

don't nobody know

Up and down we go

Back and forth,

round and round

Take a ride on an emotional

roller coaster

Up and down we go

Back and forth,

round and round

Taking a ride on an emotional

roller coaster

On an emotional

roller coaster

Popcorn, cotton candy

Funnel cakes,

what you want?

I'll spin this, baby

I'll get it baby,

all for you

Stuck

your silly prize

You won't explore

any doubt tonight

You can win it, baby

Win it for the love

of you

Win it for the love

of you

Anything you want

But that ain't good enough,

is it?

Up and down we go

Back and forth,

round and round

Take a ride on an emotional

roller coaster

Up and down we go

Back and forth,

round and round

Taking a ride on an emotional

roller coaster

On an emotional

roller coaster

- How much longer you here for?

- Uh, we're not sure.

We're waiting to find out

what happens with Monica's dad,

and then we're going

to head out to L.A.

How about you two?

Boyfriends?

No.

Ahem, so, um,

what do you write?

I picked up some freelance

copywriting.

And I'm currently working

on a feature,

tentatively titled A Man's Guide

to Understanding Women.

That sounds intriguing.

I told him it's going to take

more than one movie

to understand women.

You need at least

two sequels.

Thanks for inviting us over.

You guys ever roll before?

Roll what?

You're so sweet and innocent.

Uh, never taken X before?

I don't really

do any drugs.

Um, I mean,

I've heard of it.

It's harmless, actually.

Just takes your sense of touch

to a whole nother level.

Mm-hmm.

Feels like magic.

You have to try it.

It's so cool.

Oh, but I get it

if you're scared.

I'm not scared.

You want to try it?

If you want to.

Okay.

Let's do it.

Okay, Lexus,

truth or dare?

Dare.

I dare you...

to kiss Monica on the lips.

Which set of lips?

The mouth, you nasty whore.

Your hands glide

down my skin

You breathe out,

I breathe you in

See? That wasn't

all so bad, right?

Okay, Jade Lee.

Truth or dare?

Dare.

I dare you...

to give Kevin

a VIP lap dance.

Okay.

How do you feel?

Don't worry, girl.

It's just a game.

I work you

Control you

I got you

where I want you

Now

Love until the sunrise

We're going deep

into the end

I'm calling out

your name

A shadow's dance

against her

You're holding on

to me so tight

Don't let me go

'Cause here I come

Mmm, mmm, mmm

It's just a game.

Two for one dances

on Thursday night.

Two for one dances

on Thursday night.

Come back to Hidden Treasures,

where you get two for one dances

on Thursday night.

Hope to see you then.

Don't forget to tip

your waitresses.

Tip them.

So, listen, listen.

When you get off work,

I want you to come over

to my house tonight.

You know I don't

do that.

What? Relax.

It's not even like that.

I'm having a little

get-together at my place,

and I want

all of my friends there.

Just as a party.

Okay.

Sure.

But I get your hat.

It looks nice on you.

Handsome cash.

You're just taking

all of my money.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Where are you going, baby?

Just going to the VIP, man.

No, no, no.

This is for VIP, not BAP.

That stands

for Broke-Ass People.

You want to go upstairs,

you got to have a bottle.

Okay, how much is a bottle?

$500.

Roscoe, I don't have

500 f***ing bucks, man.

I know. That's why it's for VIP,

not BAP.

Roscoe, that's my f***ing

fiance, okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I know. I know.

Hey, easy.

Kev, you got to go.

I ain't saying

you got to go home,

but you should go home.

For what? What do I have

to go home for?

Causing problems

in my club.

I'm not causing

any problems in your club, man.

Look, I like you,

and I tell

a lot of people that,

but I really like you,

and we talked about this before,

but dancers that bring

their boyfriends into the club,

it just doesn't mix.

It's bad for business.

What's that I always say,

Trudy?

It's fun visiting Disney Land,

but it sure ain't fun

working there.

Your mouth

to God's ears.

Now, look, Kevin,

in all my years

in this business,

I've seen everything.

Hell, Roscoe and I

we've done half of them.

But there's one thing,

one thing that never changes.

And that is...

it's the money

that brings the girls in,

but it's the attention

that keeps them coming back.

Now your little baby doll,

your sweet Monica,

she's upstairs right now,

and she's had a taste

of this life.

And she ain't coming back.

That's cute,

but you're wrong.

She's not like that.

Sorry.

Well, either you're leaving...

or she is.

It's your choice.

Last call for alcohol.

Last call.

And she didn't even have my money.

Where's Chicago, girl?

Oh, over there.

Looking good, ladies.

Hi. Good to see you.

Don't hurt nobody.

Wow.

He's been waiting

for you.

Yes.

Hey, beautiful.

Hey.

Glad you could make it.

Of course.

Your place is fabulous.

Ha-ha.

Thank you, thank you.

Come on. Come and meet

some of my friends. Let's go.
