SC29 INT. LE BALLET STRIP CLUB – NIGHT

PQ returns with Jeanette How are you baby? I’m ok. One of those days Well that’s why you’re here. We will cheer you up. We have some great new girls. See anyone you like? You pick. I trust you. How about someone NOT crazy? In this place? You know these are strippers right? A bit of crazy is always gonna be part of the deal. How about that one over there? Too many curves. You know I like them long and lean. I swear, you are the only black guy who ever said that to me. Hey now, keep your stereotypes to yourself. Ok, Ok. How about that one over there? She’s really sweet. Sure, why not. OK, you boys be nice to her. More girls arrive. Mayhem ensues. The drinks, and the strippers keep coming. Ramsey spots Pinwheel with several of his associates at a corner table. Hang on, I gotta go deal with this. Ramsey stands up, but the stripper on his lap was halfway through her song. Hey? What am I supposed to do? Just wait. Have a drink. I will be back. You want me to come? No, it’s ok, they wouldn’t do anything inside their own club anyway. Ramsey crosses the room. Pinwheel rises to meet him, more or less half way. They will give you 48 hours, but its gonna cost you ten points. That’s all I can do. That doesn’t do me any good. I need a week. I told you. It’s not up to me, this came down from the top. I’m sorry. You know if it was just me I would give you the time. I know. I know. I’ll see what I can do. Call me tomorrow. Ramsey returns to his friends. How did it go? Not good. I need to figure something out. (h)ok. Not tonight. We deal with it tomorrow.
