Striptease Page #3

They're not like dogs.

Time.

Time.

I love you more than

anything in the world.

You know that in your heart.

-Mommy?

-What, baby?

Do you know those dolls you got me?

Daddy says he can't

find them anywhere.

We'll get you new ones.

-I love you.

-Bye, baby. I love you.

Hey, let's go!

All right, you go on.

I'll bring your stuff.

Hey, baby!

Did you have a good day?

Good.

She told me about your new profession.

Really admirable.

At least I ain't naked.

"At least I ain't naked"?

You get caught using

that child in a felony. . .

-. . .and Family Services will put her--

-No way I'd get caught.

Got me one of them doctor's

jackets and a stethoscope.

Look like one of them dudes on ER.

Darrell, would you think

for once in your life?

I don't need no stripper

telling me how to behave.

I'll see you in two weeks.

You ready?

You know where that was taken?

Your mama's birthday party.

The Eager Beaver.

Can you identify those people?

Yeah, this old fool. Erin.

Erin's the stripper?

What'd you say?

Erin's the stripper.

Dancer, fat ass.

She's a dancer!

The young man who was

so savagely beaten. . .

. . .is my client, Paul Guber.

No sh*t. Too bad for him.

I don't think so.

The third person in that photo

is none other than. . .

. . .David L. Dilbeck.

So what?

Do you follow politics, Mr. Shad?

Do I look like I follow politics?

David Dilbeck is

the U.S. congressman. . .

. . .from the fifth district.

He's up for reelection soon.

You gonna put the squeeze on him.

Nice.

What that gotta do with me?

I'll give you 10% of the squeeze.

Is this conceivably

as big as the yogurt deal?

"As big"?

Congressman Dilbeck is chairman

of the subcommittee on sugar, okay?

The Rojo family cannot

allow him to lose.

Because their price supports are worth

hundreds of millions of dollars.

And quite frankly, Mr. Shad. . .

. . .this is the opportunity

of a lifetime.

Good.

Just keep Erin out of it.

I'll do my best.

She's out. Erin is out.

Erin who?

Charming spot.

Look. Steven Spielberg's house.

I wish he'd come in here.

I'm sure he would have big hots for me.

You'd turn his whole life around.

Steven Spielberg's shower. Can you

imagine me and him in that shower?

-Oh, that cute little beard!

-Yours or his?

Hey, Jerry, it's Erin Grant.

What a long beep.

Someone's waiting for you.

Maybe you're out of town. . . .

I'm just calling to see about

that legal matter we discussed.

If you get a chance,

just give me a call at the club.

Thanks, bye.

-Michael Jordan's at table eight!

-Great.

Say hello to

the fantastic Monique, Jr. !

Lieutenant Garcia with homicide.

What's he want with Erin?

Got no idea.

All I need is scandal.

What do you know about Prozac?

It makes you happy.

There's side effects.

Like what?

Limp noodle.

Who cares?

I haven't had a hard-on

since I started running this place.

Closest I got was Sea World.

Porpoise got me hot.

What the f***

you telling me that for?

I'm going next door.

See what Ling's up to.

Drowned?

Oh, my God.

He had pictures of you

all over his apartment.

He was a really big fan.

He used to bring me flowers--

He was just a fan?

There was no touching?

This has been a real pleasure.

I dance so I must turn tricks.

Nice way to open a conversation.

"l understand you're a hooker?"

You don't work in a library here.

I'm trying to figure out

the man's life.

He was a customer.

That's all I know about his life.

Except that it's over.

I apologize.

Sincerely. Look, I'm real--

I'm nowhere on this.

I could use some--

Please give me a minute?

Please?

-So where did this happen?

-Lake Okeechobee.

It's where I made the serious

mistake of taking my vacation.

Your family?

Nice.

It's not the kind of place

you'd expect to encounter a homicide.

-Homicide? You said he drowned.

-No, we did an autopsy.

The water in his lungs,

they come up clean.

There was tap water in his lungs?

Exactly.

Somebody killed him, like in a bathtub,

then dumped the body in a lake.

Do you read mysteries?

Up till three months ago,

I worked at the FBI in Miami.

A secretary.

Until I got fired

for having a defective husband.

I'm in a pretty bad custody fight.

Jerry was trying to help me.

From the shores of the Dead Sea. . .

. . .a decorated nurse

in the lsraeli army. . .

. . .say shalom to

the fabulous Ariel Sharon!

Could we go outside?

I could really use some air.

Oh, Mr. Orly!

What a wonderful surprise.

Nice to be in quality club, eh?

Yeah, if you like freak shows.

Ling! Ling!

Get over here!

Move it!

Excuse me. I'm sorry.

But that's Mr. Chris Rojo. . .

. . .of the sugar Rojos.

Typical of the kind

of rich big shots we get here.

Is this the place

where I met my angel?

I don't know which angel

you're referring to.

A congressman?

You mean a U.S. congressman?

Well, he wasn't specific who it was.

I told him it was bananas. . .

. . .and maybe it was better

that he stayed out of it.

On Wednesday, there was an incident,

a guy with a bottle--

Oh, he was a total whack job.

Drunk out of his mind.

Can you remember,

was Mr. Killian here?

No, not offhand, but maybe.

Think about that and let me know.

Here's all my numbers.

Once again, I apologize.

I mean, for any aspersions.

You wanna make it up to me?

I beg your pardon?

I need a favor.

You've got friends on the vice squad?

They're not my bosom buddies.

My ex-husband's an informant.

It's why this idiot judge

gave him custody.

-Are you joking?

-I wish.

But I was thinking,

if vice dumped him as an informer. . .

. . .when my appeal

came up in six weeks. . .

. . .I could then say

my ex-husband is unfit.

-He's such a criminal--

-Wait a minute. He's a criminal?

Your ex? He's a criminal?

He steals wheelchairs.

Thank you very much.

All right, let me see what I can do.

Good night.

You know, not having her around. . .

. . .it's like my heart is missing.

I'm sure.

Let me see what I can do.

Good night.

Good night.

How much you pay them?

I think they're up to $30 a day.

Subtract room and board,

booze and smokes.

You know, who knows?

Maybe they pay us!

-Hell of a business.

-It's the best!

We gotta protect it,

my friend, right?

Son, I've been protecting

your family for 20 years.

You're the greatest, man!

I'm saying, until the election,

no more girls, huh?

Bring your wife down here

for a weekend.

What's her name?

Alice?

Mary Pat. Mary Pat.

Chris, I met an angel.

I mean, she's a dancer.

She's so pure and clean.

Not like the rest of these whores.

-If I could be with her--

-What?

You'd be a good boy?

I'd be perfect. I'd be perfect.

I swear I would!

I would stop going to clubs.

I would stop drinking.

I would just lead

a regular life, you know?

With my wife and a steady mistress.

And I would have a decent life.

So let's do it!

Where'd you see her?

My brain has just turned to sh*t.

That's why you're in Congress!

You're probably right.

Who is it?

It's Lieutenant Garcia.
