EXT. BABY DOLLS- NIGHT

Pual (21 years old) - a bodybuilder sized door man.

PAUL

So they wanted the girls to fart in their face? That’s sick.

MURPHY

Only a fucking wet back. I remember when I was young cops arrested a couple of greasy spiks in the park for sniffing old ladies bicycle seats. They get off on that shit its like a drug to them. That’s why they put bans and jalapeños in all there shit.

Murphy (46 years old) - man with a cist on his face and a lazy eye.

PAUL

Sometimes I think this is the trashiest strip club in Dallas.

MURPHY

It is. Them Mexicans said they’d be back they were coming back to kill me.

Murphy Laughs.

MURPHY

That’s why I keep a 44 mag in my glove box.

The club’s front door is thrown open.

AUSTRSALIAN 1

Yeah fuck you man you girl owes me sixty dollars.

BOUNCER

You gave her the money she said she you dance. Whatever you lost consider it her tip for puting up with you drunk ass now you kicked out go home please

AUSTRSALIAN 1

He turns to walk away and turns back around with a sucker punch.

PAUL

Shit

Pual jumps to put the austrailian in a head lock.

BOUNCER

Mother Fucker!

Bouncer stumbles and sprays mace on the Australian.

PAUL

I can’t see.

BOUNCER

Don’t let go yet the cops are on the way. For god’s sake Murphy put the gun away the cops are coming.

MURPHY

PUAL

Stops washing and looks at her.

STEFANI

Your face is too.

PAUL

This job ain’t for me. I’ve been here for two months and I’ve seen the trashiest people in Dallas.

She looks down.

PUAL

Sorry I’m not talking about you. I know your just trying to pay the bills.

She starts to cry.

STEFANI

No your right I am trash and if it was’nt for me you wouldn't have gotten maced.

PAUL

It’s not your fault.

STEFANI

The guy gave me sixty dollars but he kept wanting to put his fingers in me. I had him kicked out.

She hugs him.

STEFANI

CHANCE

Damn dud your face is red.

PAUL

Let’s just say I quit the strip club job.

CHANCE

Good for you. I take it you where in some kind of scuffle.

PAUL

I got maced and kicked in the face for helping out another bouncer. It’s like those guys just start shit in the club then bring out for me to handle. It’s not worth minimum wage.

CHANCE

I think I may have a job for you.

PUAL

At this point I’m ready to serve someone cheese fries or wash a bumber.

CHANCE

You don’t want to go back to that. Making minimum wage your not going to like that.

PAUL

What job do you have in mind? Better yet is it legal.

CHANCE

Technically yeah.

PUAL

What do you mean technically?

CHANCE

I think you should meet this guy before I say anything else.

PUAL

His isn't another one of tose guys who gives you the credit card and tells you to buy shit.

CHANCE

No dude that was illegal as hell. This is sorta different. I’m not going to say anything more. You just have to meet Adar.

PAUL

Who’s Adar.

CHANCE

He’s the guy who got me the job. If you haven't noticed he’s the one who got me the job.

PUAL

You have a job now.

CHANCE

No more relying on loans. I get paid 500 a night. At least. That’s for like an hour of work at the most.

PAUL

Now I’m intrigued.

CHANCE

Alright I’ll tell you this... All you have to do is drive around a couple of cute girls from 10 to 4 in the morning. Sometimes the nights turn into mornings.

PAUL

Your shitting me. Your an escort driver.

Chance grins.

CHANCE

I’m just trying to help out a former teammate. This operation can put some real cash in your pockets.

PUAL

Now I’m thinking about it.

CHANCE

I’ll talk to Adar tonight and see if can get you in.

Chance tosses him a beer.

CHANCE

Relax. Your not going to have to drop out of school.

PUAL

You want a shot?

CHANCE

Of what?

Does it matter.

CHANCE
