Hop on in, pard!

Nomi Malone

Where you going?

Vegas! Come on! This is your lucky day!

What are you going to Vegas for? You gonna win?

Nomi Malone

I'm gonna dance!

Like one of those private escort dancers?

You gamble?

Nomi Malone

No.

Well you gotta gamble if you're gonna win.

Nomi Malone

I'm gonna win.

Molly Abrams

I haven't gotten laid in six months. My right hand's so tired I can barely thread a needle!

Nomi Malone

Then use the left one.

Molly Abrams

For threading a needle?

Al Torres

You're a **** stripper, don't you get it?

Nomi Malone

I'm a dancer!

Al

If you're a dancer, than Henry here is the ****in' Virgin Mary!

I got bigger tits than the ****in' Virgin Mary and I got a bigger mouth too!

Where do you dance at, darlin'?

Nomi Malone

Um... at the Cheetah.

I don't know how good you are, darlin', and I don't know what it is you're good at, but if it's at the Cheetah, it's not dancing, I know that much.

Nomi Malone

You don't know shit!

Nomi Malone

Hi, my name is Heather.

Hey Nomi. I love your nails. We'd like you to have a private dance with both of us.

Nomi Malone

We don't do that. One at a time. No women.

A hundred dollars.

Nomi Malone

Sorry. That's the rules.

Two hundred. You just do Zack and I'll watch.

[Nomi shakes her head no]

Five hundred.

One day she looks like Pollyanna, the next day she looks like... I don't know... Lolita, maybe.

[Nomi giggles]

Nice dress.

Nomi Malone

Thanks. I bought it at "Ver-sayce".

Nomi Malone
[silence]

In the Forum?

Oh, yeah, Ver-sayce. I love Ver-sayce.

Nomi Malone

Me, too!

Nomi Malone

I get a headache from champagne.

This isn't champagne. This... is HOLY WATER. I named myself after this holy water. Chrissie Lou Connors used to have dingy brown hair and little bitty tits. It's amazing what paint and a surgeon can do.

[they clink champagne glasses]

You have great tits. They're really beautiful.

Nomi Malone

Thank you.

I like nice tits. I always have, how about you?

Nomi Malone

I like having nice tits.

How do you like having 'em?

Nomi Malone

What do you mean?

You know what I mean.

Nomi Malone

I like having them in a nice dress, or a tight top.

Mmmm. You like to show em off.

Nomi Malone

I didn't like showing them off at the Cheetah.

Why not? I liked lookin' at 'em there. We ALL liked lookin' at 'em there!

Nomi Malone

It made me feel like a hooker.

You are a whore, darlin'!

Nomi Malone

No, I'm not!

We all are. We take the cash, we cash the check, we show them what they want to see!

Nomi Malone

Maybe you are a whore Cristal, but I'm not.

You and me? We're exactly alike.

Nomi Malone

I'll never be like you.

Nomi Malone

Hello? Anybody here?

Back here.

Nomi Malone

What are you doing here?

What am I doing here? [sniffs cocaine] I'm doin' some of the finest cocaine in the world, darlin'. You want some?

Nomi Malone
[Nomi shakes her head]

Mm-mmm.

It's great for the muscles. I told Marty I'd work on your turns with you, darlin', but I'm feelin' a little turned inside out myself today.

Nomi Malone

Cut the shit.

[smiling]

OK. We got off on the wrong foot. Wanna start dancin' all over again?

Nomi Malone

Why?

Why not? Wanna go down to Spago, get somethin' to eat?

Nomi Malone

Where is it?

[sarcastically]

Just down from Ver-sayce.

Nomi Malone

It's Versace.

Ohhhhh, yeah.

Nomi Malone

Yeah.

Nomi Malone

Don't they have brown rice and vegetables?

Do you like brown rice and vegetables?

Nomi Malone

Yeah.

You do?

Nomi Malone

Sort of.

Really?

Nomi Malone

It's worse than dog food.

Nomi Malone
[Cristal laughs]

It is!

I've had dog food.

Nomi Malone

You have?

Mmm-hmmm. Long time ago. Doggy Chow... I used to love Doggy Chow.

Nomi Malone

I used to love Doggy Chow, too!

Are you afraid? Don't be.

Nomi Malone

I'm not. I liked it when you came. I liked your eyes.

You **** him for the spot? Or you **** him cause you wanted to? I say you did it for the spot.

Nomi Malone

Is that what you did, Cristal?

You don't want to piss me off darlin' now that we're friends.

Nomi Malone

Oh, no... You shouldn't get pissed off. Makes you look older.

You like my nails? Not as nice as yours.

Nomi Malone

Maybe I could help you with yours... If you like.

Why you'd do that for me?

Nomi Malone

What are friends for?

On second thought... I'm not so sure I want you to be doin' mine. I'm getting a little too old for that 'whorey' look.

Nomi Malone

Where are the police?

They're not here.

Nomi Malone

Why the **** aren't they here?

Because they're not coming!

[Nomi goes to a pay-phone]

Don't do it... Polly.

Nomi Malone
[Nomi puts down the receiver]

How did you find out?

You were busted for disturbing the peace at the Crave Club. The police took your fingerprints.

Nomi Malone

I don't have to listen to this.

Yes you do! Polly-Ann Costello. Your father killed your mother and then killed himself. You ran away from a foster in Oakland, December 1990. Arrests: Denver, soliciting.

Nomi Malone

Stop it!

San Jose, soliciting. Cheyenne, soliciting. Should I read you the rest of them? How about possession of crack cocaine? Assault with a deadly weapon. Tell me something. Why did you stop hooking? You had your future pretty well-mapped out of yourself.

Nomi Malone

I did what I have do.

Just like you did with Cristal.

Nomi Malone

I'm not a whore.

No, you're not. You're gonna be a big star. You're face is gonna be all up on billboards. You're gonna make a lot of money for the Stardust.

Nomi Malone

You're not gonna let him get away with this.

Andrew Carver is at the Paradiso this year. He might be at the Riviera next year, or the Stardust the year after that. He's part of the team, so are you.

Nomi Malone

What about Molly?

You like her, I'll make sure he gives her enough money. She can have a dress shop. Tell me something. What did you charge? Hooking.

Nomi Malone

Fifty. Hundred sometimes.

You got low self-esteem baby, you're a fantastic ****.

[after a long pause, Nomi spits in Zack's face] [as Nomi leaves]

I was paying you a compliment!

Nomi Malone

I got my period.

Yeah right.

Nomi Malone

Check.
[James puts his hand down Nomi's pants, realizes she does]

[last lines]

So did you gamble?

[Nomi nods.]

Did you win?

[Nomi nods again.]

What'd you win?

Nomi Malone

Me.

Oh, ****! It's you!

Nomi Malone

I want my **** suitcase... ASSHOLE!
