You know the best advice I ever got? You're up there on stage, hopin' on a spot. If someone gets in your way, step on 'em. If you're the only one left standing there, they hire you. That's about it. Thank you and good night, ladies and gentlemen. Elvis has left the building.

9 scenes Cristal Connors Where do you dance at, darlin'?
Um... at the Cheetah.
Cristal Connors 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.
You don't know shit!
Hi, my name is Heather.
Cristal Connors Hey Nomi. I love your nails. We'd like you to have a private dance with both of us.
We don't do that. One at a time. No women.
Cristal Connors A hundred dollars.
Sorry. That's the rules.
Cristal Connors Two hundred. You just do Zack and I'll watch.
Cristal Connors [Nomi shakes her head no]
Five hundred.
I get a headache from champagne.
Cristal Connors 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.
Cristal Connors [they clink champagne glasses]
You have great tits. They're really beautiful.
Thank you.
Cristal Connors I like nice tits. I always have, how about you?
I like having nice tits.
Cristal Connors How do you like having 'em?
What do you mean?
Cristal Connors You know what I mean.
I like having them in a nice dress, or a tight top.
Cristal Connors Mmmm. You like to show em off.
I didn't like showing them off at the Cheetah.
Cristal Connors Why not? I liked lookin' at 'em there. We ALL liked lookin' at 'em there!
It made me feel like a hooker.
Cristal Connors You are a whore, darlin'!
No, I'm not!
Cristal Connors We all are. We take the cash, we cash the check, we show them what they want to see!
Maybe you are a whore Cristal, but I'm not.
Cristal Connors You and me? We're exactly alike.
I'll never be like you.
Cristal Connors No one's gonna take my lead anyway, darlin', I haven't missed a show in eight years.
But you're not getting any younger, "darling".
Cristal Connors Eat me.
Hello? Anybody here?
Cristal Connors Back here.
What are you doing here?
Cristal Connors What am I doing here? [sniffs cocaine] I'm doin' some of the finest cocaine in the world, darlin'. You want some?
Cristal Connors 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.
Cut the shit.
Cristal Connors [smiling]
OK. We got off on the wrong foot. Wanna start dancin' all over again?
Why?
Cristal Connors Why not? Wanna go down to Spago, get somethin' to eat?
Where is it?
Cristal Connors [sarcastically]
Just down from Ver-sayce.
It's Versace.
Cristal Connors Ohhhhh, yeah.
Yeah.
Don't they have brown rice and vegetables?
Cristal Connors Do you like brown rice and vegetables?
Yeah.
Cristal Connors You do?
Sort of.
Cristal Connors Really?
It's worse than dog food.
Cristal Connors I've had dog food.
You have?
Cristal Connors Mmm-hmmm. Long time ago. Doggy Chow... I used to love Doggy Chow.
I used to love Doggy Chow, too!
Cristal Connors You **** her, didn't you?
Does that piss you off because you're jealous, Cris? Or because I beat you to the punch?
Cristal Connors You **** him for the spot? Or you **** him cause you wanted to? I say you did it for the spot.
Is that what you did, Cristal?
Cristal Connors You don't want to piss me off darlin' now that we're friends.
Oh, no... You shouldn't get pissed off. Makes you look older.
Cristal Connors You like my nails? Not as nice as yours.
Maybe I could help you with yours... If you like.
Cristal Connors Why you'd do that for me?
What are friends for?
Cristal Connors 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.
