Magic Mike Page #6

Synopsis: Mike Lane is a thirty-year old living in Tampa,Florida. By day he works as a roofer while at night, as Magic Mike, he is the star attraction of the Kings of Tampa, a group of male strippers. Secretly he wants out in order to further a projected furniture-making business but his credit rating precludes a bank loan for this despite his considerable savings. One night Adam, a teen-aged work-mate of Mike, follows him to the club and, when one of the acts is unable to go on,he is prevailed upon to strip - becoming a huge hit. However success goes to his head and his foolish actions not only threaten to jeopardize his sister Brooke's relationship with Mike but Mike's ambitions as well.

Oh, no. Oh, no.

Look, don't, uh, they just say stupid sh*t

sometimes. Don't let them bother you.

Oh, no, it didn't bother me.

l'm just trying to wrap my mind

around Adam and this whole mess.

l get it. l don't know how

l fit into this whole mix, either.

No. You-- When you're on-stage,

it all makes sense.

l mean, the way you dance

and the way the women respond to you....

Wait a minute. So that means

someone might have stuck around.

That's good to know.

Yeah.

That feeling.... That must be a really

crazy feeling to be on-stage...

...like that. l see why you've been doing it

for so long. l get it.

-But Adam's different. He's....

-Why is that?

Well, he had a football scholarship.

A year ago, he basically ruined it

by getting...

...in a fistfight with his coach

in the first hour of the first day.

-Yeah. l think he said something about that.

-Yeah.

So l just don't--

l'm just trying to figure out...

...why he's stripping.

-"Why" is easy.

-What do you mean, it's easy?

-You want some stripper wisdom?

-Okay.

-You ready?

-Yeah.

He's 1 9 years old.

lt's women, money and a good time.

l guess. l guess.

l got him.

Okay?

Okay.

-You gonna come to the show tonight?

-No.

-You're gonna come.

-No.

-You just said you liked the show.

-Doesn't mean l'm gonna go again.

-But you said--

-l'm not, heh, going. l've seen it.

MlKE:
Does that mean you were lying?

BROOKE:
l'm not lying.
