Powder Blue Page #3
because when I watch you dance,
I get a raging boner, and
so do a lot of other people.
But on Christmas Eve,
I'm gonna have a lot of very
lonely people out in my club,
some even thinking about killing themselves,
and they come here
looking for companionship.
They're looking for a little bit of love.
They are looking for a little bit of hope.
What about... what about one
of the girls who's Jewish?
What about them? Why can't they work?
That is not the point.
All the dancing that goes on on that stage
is nothing but an expensive advertisement
for the main attraction
in the f***ing blue room.
Well, I am not a whore.
Well, then you better learn, Johnny,
'cause you are costing me $1,000 a head
every time you don't give any.
Let me put it this way.
If you are not here on Christmas Eve,
you should consider getting
a job at Wally's Whack Shack.
We clear?
Yeah.
You all right?
Everything all right?
Just leave me alone.
It's getting colder.
You're gonna get sick dressed like that.
Why don't you just f*** off?
Listen, I'm not gonna go back in
until I know you're all right.
You don't have to rush.
Just take your time.
Do you have a smoke?
Yeah, sure.
You're not from around here, are you?
No, I'm just passing through.
Yeah, I thought so.
You're too nice.
Thanks.
Where are you from?
San Francisco.
Moved down here about a year ago.
What's your name?
Scarlet.
Scarlet.
I'm Jack.
Were you in here the other night?
No.
You sure?
'Cause I don't forget eyes like yours.
I'm sure.
Get dressed.
You got a request for a private.
Whoa.
I got to go.
Can I see you again?
Yeah, yeah.
Just request me, Scarlet.
Wait for me in the blue room.
Here.
- Oh.
- Thanks.
Okay.
Hey, papa.
I hope I didn't keep you too long.
I'll make it up to you.
First one's on me.
This is your first time, isn't it?
Yeah, let's-
why don't we just talk first?
Most men don't pay me to talk.
And the ones who do are trying
to talk me into something else.
But I'm telling you, I
don't do anything but dance.
I don't want anything.
Let's just talk like we were doing before.
Come dance with me.
Here? No.
No, I-I'm not good at that.
Yes, it will be fun.
I got old legs.
They might be old, but they're not dead.
And it's a slow song.
Just stop.
Are you afraid of me?
I'm old enough to be your father.
Most of them are.
No, stop.
Oh, sweet pea, Mommy misses you so much.
I just don't know how
much longer I can do this.
I'm trying for you, baby.
I miss you so much.
I just feel like it's my fault.
Arctic storms moving
into Northern California
should cause temperatures in the L.A. basin
to drop as much as 25 degrees.
Although temperatures have
been within normal ranges
for this holiday season,
these temps are highly unusual.
Come on, Lucky.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on, Lucky.
Excuse me, miss, may I check your purse?
No, you may not.
I'm not asking for your permission.
Are you accusing me of something?
Say, sweetie, there you are.
I was looking for you.
- Is everything okay?
- Store security.
I need to check her purse.
Oh, you know what?
This is my fault.
It's a collector's edition,
and I told her that I paid for it already,
but I got sidetracked.
Can-can we just let this slide?
Hey.
Hey, hey, hey.
Get your hands off me!
All right.
Here.
Must be for someone special, huh?
Why are you following me?
I just
- let me buy you some lunch, okay?
Your choice.
I just want to talk.
There you go.
Well, you're just filled with
little tricks, aren't you?
Here's your dessert.
- Thanks.
- Enjoy.
So what brings you to this city?
Well, what brings anyone to this city?
I wanted to be a somebody.
Is that so much to ask?
You sound like a nonbeliever.
No, this city just has a way
of crushing your dreams pretty fast.
Well, what about your parents.
Were they for it?
My mother just recently passed away,
and my father died in a boating accident
before I was born.
That's what she told me, anyway.
You have doubts?
I don't know.
I used to catch her staring
off into somewhere for hours,
like she knows that he's still around.
Can I tell you a secret?
Yeah, sure.
I see my father all the time.
How?
In my sleep, especially when I was younger.
See, he likes to travel the world,
and if I'm good,
then sometimes he'll take me with him
and share his adventures with me.
And what's he like?
He's handsome, and he has strong hands
and a very gentle heart.
I mean, he couldn't hurt
a fly if he wanted to.
And he has eyes like yours,
all mysterious and full of secrets.
I'm sorry, I don't mean to
make you feel uncomfortable.
It's okay. Don't apologize.
I just really like talking to you.
I really like talking to you too.
You know what time it is?
I don't have a watch-
I got to go. I'm late for work.
I can't afford to lose another job.
You'll come in and see me?
Yeah.
All right.
Thanks.
Don't stop believing.
Only in miracles, Jack.
- Hi.
- Hey.
I'm Nicole.
Hey.
I'm-my name's Qwerty.
I know.
It's on your name tag.
Is this your first time?
Yeah.
Is it that obvious?
It's also my first time.
You know, at first, I
didn't really want to come.
I didn't want to seem desperate,
like I need help in meeting someone.
But then I realized I haven't
been on a date in-in 2 years.
So, here I am.
Are-are you coming inside?
Yeah, of course, of course.
Is everything all right?
I'm sorry; I think I'm losing circulation.
Where?
Just here in my right leg.
Can I get you some water or something?
Are you-
Help!
Hi.
Hey.
I haven't seen you around in a few days.
I was such an idiot the other night.
I don't know what came over me,
but I apologize if I was being too forward.
It's been a very long time for me too.
You finished? You're off?
Yeah, it's been slow.
If-if you want some
company, I could-
If you-if you'd like,
I could take you home.
I mean, if you want, I could-
Yeah, no, I- yeah, I would like that.
I would.
Great.
But not tonight.
I can't.
That's him.
He called, you know, right
- shortly after I got home.
And he wants to talk, and so here he is.
All right, well, bye.
Mm, bye.
Some friends of yours,
they told me that you could help me.
I'm looking for a girl.
I don't know her name.
I met her the other night.
She-she has really big blonde hair.
She was wearing a red dress
with-with these all on it.
I could-I could pay you for your time
if you help me find her.
Well, I ain't seen her all night,
but if they found her dead,
I wouldn't be surprised.
What do you mean by that?
That seorita tried to
execute her life twice, man.
She slit both her wrists.
The crazy girl want to
make a baby inside of her.
It like the ultimate
transformation and sh*t.
She even fake a
miscarriage, you get me, man?
How do you know this?
I'm her doctor.
She tell me all her symptoms, you know, man.
And I prescribe her
medication, make her feel good.
Listen, man, if she ain't on the streets,
