Hustlers Edit

A family with money!

A hundred. One hundred.

A senior had asked me to the prom.

A sure thing.

A year of waitressing.

After a few devastating events.

Ain't no pressure, just, you know...

All my valuable stuff is in this place that I'm not even sleeping in."

All right, Grandma. I gotta go.

All right?

All right? I'll see you.

All right.

All right.

All right. Come on. Help me get his legs.

All right. Tell the truth.

All right. Tick tock.

All we gotta do is reel 'em in.

All you do is get your fucking dick sucked by the new bitches, rude fucking idiots!

All you have to do is figure out who you're dealing with.

Along with a lot of money and a lot of jobs.

Always look for a wedding ring.

Am I the father?

Amen.

And after you get the signature, then you can party your asses off.

And at this point, everything was aboveboard.

And by this, I mean really serious allergies.

And did you grow up with money, Elizabeth?

And Dragon's ass can stay in jail for a few more weeks.

And everybody got in on the action.

And get home safe.

And he mocked up this logo for me.

And he says, "Me or your husband."

And I can't, like, stop it.

And I don't wanna perpetuate anything.

And I have to get to the front seat to try to stop it, and I go there,

And I have to say:

And I just didn't have the heart to tell him, like, I hate flying.

And I realize that nobody is driving the car.

And I really missed you.

And I said he couldn't.

And I was fired.

And I was freaked out, you know? I was like, "Oh, my God. All my stuff.

And I'm sorry, these girls are just like my sisters, so...

And I'm up front in customer service.

And I've never even sniffed his dick.

And it does not reward people who play by the rules.

And it's a more honest transaction than anything else they did that day.

And it's things like this that add to a stigma,

And maybe the reason why we did what we did

And never came back.

And no matter what I do, I can't get a grip on it.

And not one of these douchebags went to jail.

And now she lives in Miami. Opened up a nail salon.

And Ramona inspired me to go back to school.

And separating from the mother of his young son.

And some of the guys didn't want to party.

And that these guys didn't deserve it.

And that they've got money.

And that you spent a lot of time alone.

And the four of us could only take on so much.

And then I get little chains and make belts out of them.

And then play them at their level.

And then put it into your computer so you can type with your own handwriting.

And then we run up his credit card as far as we can push it.

And then you know you got to grind it out.

And then, when they realize that we work six nights a week,

And they don't leave till they spend $10,000, $15,000 in one night.

And they never get in any trouble.

And this here, this is Dorothy.

And this is Mercedes. This my baby.

And this right here, these are epaulets.

And we found the Connecticut architect

And we proceed to have three of the most amazing hours I have ever had in my life.

And we're now accepting all major credit cards.

And we're winning games,

And what about at Moves?

And what about Mercedes? Is she feeling "grossed out"?

And when would you say that things got out of control?

And where'd you go to school?

And you have amazing skin.

And you just go slow. Right there.

And you've gotta meet Liz.

And, like, I gotta do something to stop that.

And, oh, I met this guy who

And, perhaps, the end of an era in American business.

And, sure, some days sucked. Like any other job.

And... for this family.

Ankle hook. Yup.

Annabelle.

Annabelle's feeling grossed out lately.

Another Red Bull?

Another round.

Anyway, so he picks me up in this white Porsche.

Are you high?

Are you in?

Are you kidding me? A bag can never be too big.

Are you kidding me? Let me buy you lunch, baby.

Are you okay?

Are you still there?

As soon as I saw her, I said,

Ay, gracias, señora.

Baby, come here.

Back off, bitch.

Back when Stevie Wonder came in.

Bailing out Dawn again.

Bartending, mostly.

Be careful with that. Do not fuck up my door.

Be like old times.

Bear Cub, is that you?

Because everyone's willing to cover their tracks.

Because then I would have it.

Being victimized by a woman.

Bitch! Bitch! Motherfucking Usher is here.

Bitch.

Boom.

Bring out the flavor.

Brown. For undergrad.

But do you really wanna marry someone who's probably going to prison?

But do you think it's too big?

But everybody's hustling.

But I can't fucking afford it now.

But I do have a client who's a graphic designer,

But I had a crush on this guy since I was 15.

But I had other things on my mind.

But I just know she's gonna throw me out any day now.

But I like to keep her with me.

But I swear that these get more comfortable when they're wet.

But I was seeing this guy who had a walk up right next to where I stripped.

But if they do, you can milk 'em for every penny.

But not through the front. Oh, no.

But one morning, I go back to my place, and the door's wide open.

But only 'cause I know you made it with love.

But other days...

But sober enough to sign the check.

But that's why I'd really like to get retail experience

But then there's the motherfuckers on top.

But then, all of a sudden, we're at the airport.

But they have their limits.

But to tell you the truth, I don't feel sorry for them.

But we had ourselves a fun sleepover, didn't we?

But we still wanted to make it as safe as possible.

But what we can tell you

But when I see you, I know I'm gonna see my man.

But you gotta understand, in our world, this was normal.

Bye, new girl.

Can I have three shots?

Can I just ask you...

Casey had him in the Champagne Room.

Catches in the light I mean

CEOs, CFOs, investment bankers,

Certainly, the largest financial disaster in decades in this country,

Chicken wings.

Chuck here pays for my apartment on the Upper East Side

Come down.

Come Friday, we're looking at sunny skies with a high of 78 degrees.

Come on, let's ring you up.

Come on, she's gonna help you.

Come on, you can tell me.

Come on.

Come on. Don't be a tease. Are you a tease?

Come on. Get on top of each other. Get together.

Come on. Yeah, Gary.

Come on. You can do it.

Come on. You want Lily to grow up without her mother?

Corporate raiders, hedge funders, ax murderers.

Could be a big one.

Could make it four.

Craig's got two kids.

Crying?

D Destiny. Wh Uh...

David, is that you?

David, these are my sisters.

Des, look at me. Look at me.

Destiny.

Did Nana fall asleep?

Did she get caught?

Did you get something to eat?

Did you go to school for this?

Did you go to the bottom of the ocean for this?

Did you graduate high school?

Did you know that they do that?

Do I look expensive?

Do we know any lawyers from the club? That guy, Jeremy? Or maybe Anton?

Do we turn the liquid into a powder? Or do we turn the powder into a liquid?

Do you and Lily wanna stay with us?

Do you have kids?

Do you need to get that?

Do you need to help the baby?

Do you suddenly start trading players and bringing in new people?

Do you, uh...

Does anybody have any allergies?

Does he have any airline miles?

Does Tony know about this?

Doesn't money make you horny?

Don't do that.

Don't fall down now.

Don't she got a babysitter or a nanny or something?

Don't tase me, bro.

Don't. What the

Doug's friend took him to the club to blow off some steam

Dragon's gonna be okay.

Easy breezy.

Either way, you can string 'em along without getting physical.

Elizabeth.

Enough not to care if some of it's missing.

Every girl has muscles to do this.

Everybody has a job in here.

Everybody have a piece of the fucking cake.

Everybody was happy. Everybody was making money.

Everybody, make some noise.

Everybody's had to get creative, baby.

Everything was good.

Exactly.

Fatima came back.

Feel how hard you make me.

Fifth Avenue.

Fine. But I promised I'd buy her lunch.

Fireman down.

First get 'em a single, then a double, then a triple,

Five years at Sin City Cabaret.

For Lily.

For me?

Found footage. You like it? Take a look.

Frankie Valli shows up on your doorstep on your wedding day.

From here, you could do the carousel.

Fuck these guys.

Fuck, this whole country is a strip club.

Fuck!

Fuck.

Fuck.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

Fucking unbelievable.

Gary, wake up. Wake up, Gary.

God, I'm sorry.

Gonna have to dig this thing out of there later, but... [chuckles]

Good night everybody.

Goodbye, Juju. Te quiero mucho.

Guys. You guys!

Had some bad boyfriends.

Hardworking people lost everything.

Has she texted back yet?

Have I taught you fucking nothing?

He don't bother me. He don't get jealous.

He looks like Tom Cruise. Right?

He racked up during four visits to the club.

He's gonna help me get a job in pharmaceuticals.

He's here, he's doing his shifts. I can't do it.

He's very good looking.

Hello, police. Can you hear me?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello. How you doing?

Help my husband!

Help, please!

Help! Help!

Hi, baby. It's okay. Shh.

Hi, Elizabeth. It's Destiny.

Hi, my gorgeous girl.

Hi, what happened? Who woke you up?

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi. [chuckles]

Hi. How's my little genius?

Hi. Nice to meet you.

Hi. Nice to meet you. Destiny.

Hmm.

Hold on with that knee.

Hold on. Wait. You gotta spread it out a little bit.

Hon, you're not

Hope you're thirsty. [chuckles]

How am I gonna make money?

How are you Kobe when there can only be one Kobe? And I'm the Kobe!

How come you're so good?

How could it get worse?

How crazy is this?

How do you think the club stayed in business post 2008?

How have we not met sooner?

How have we not met sooner?

How have we not met sooner?

How many times have you done it?

How much did we charge last time?

How much of this is going into the article?

How much?

How old is she now?

How you feeling today?

How's that big, beautiful brain of yours?

I Is he dead?

I am an architect.

I am telling you.

I can barely afford his half of the rent.

I can't afford that.

I can't afford to not pay my mortgage.

I can't believe he got arrested.

I can't do that.

I can't move back home.

I could give you a crash course in this place.

I could start clean.

I couldn't get in contact with her.

I did.

I don't give a shit!

I don't know about that. Are you sure?

I don't know that it is gonna be okay.

I don't know, it's like you have 'em all figured out.

I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know.

I don't really remember a Doug ####.

I don't think I should even talk to you anymore.

I don't wanna be dependent on anybody.

I don't wanna go home.

I don't wanna hurt anybody.

I get 'em extra crispy. We can make 'em wet.

I got it.

I got the red bottoms. I got the red bottoms. Yes, girl!

I gotta get a bigger boot.

I guess he must've liked it.

I guess I'm just a people person.

I guess it's back to the pole.

I guess men don't wanna admit what happened to them, you know?

I have asthma.

I have bills. I wanna go on vacation next month.

I have to go look in the mirror.

I have two sisters. One lives in Arizona, the other one lives in Texas.

I helped my grandma get out of debt.

I hope it's a boy.

I just need to make money right now, though, you know?

I just wanna be able to take care of my grandma for the rest of her life.

I just wanna chill on my couch in some feetie pajamas

I just wanna make my money and get outta here, you know?

I just wanna, like, be independent. Not need anybody.

I just want my daughter to be able to do whatever she wants, you know?

I just wanted to tell you so that you know where my head was at when I saw her.

I just wish that you had called sooner.

I kept thinking that there was, like, this magic number.

I know a girl in Queens who did it.

I know a lot. I really

I know I'm supposed to think that what you did was terrible

I know.

I know. But, like, you know how it is.

I know. It's hard for me to balance.

I left it inside.

I like the dress, though.

I like to use a lot of mixed media.

I look terrified.

I love it! I love it.

I mean Ramona.

I mean, come on, Sadie. And you know I love Dragon.

I mean, half these guys are mainlining coke on their way to work.

I mean, I guess that's why my handwriting's so good, right?

I mean, I had a baby.

I mean, I sold beer. What's the difference?

I mean, I thought she was nice.

I mean, I thought that she was just taking a break, you know?

I mean, if I...

I mean, if you're not happy to hear from me,

I mean, it's okay.

I mean, some of the girls have been in, like, Playboy, Hustler.

I mean, take your mind off things.

I mean, we got so spooked, none of us went back to the club anymore.

I mean, what did she say about me?

I mean, you must be cleaning up.

I mean... [stammers] my wife.

I missed you, too.

I missed you, you know that?

I once danced with Frankie Valli.

I promise.

I really just go like that.

I said, "What is it? Like, a cult?"

I said: "Are we gonna make some fucking money tonight?"

I see you with every single kinda guy, and...

I swear, I'd do anything for this kid.

I take him everywhere with me. I hope that's not a problem.

I think I'm gonna throw up.

I think she just couldn't handle it, you know?

I think she just wanted me to understand that, for you,

I thought that, you know, sometimes moms need a break.

I thought we was just gonna leave him here.

I told my mom and dad that I worked here, and they kicked me out of the house.

I took the deal.

I was a centerfold once.

I was at Sin City...

I was CFO of my own fucking corporation.

I was hoping you wouldn't mind if I ducked out early on Fridays

I was just hoping that you could fill in some of the blanks.

I was making an honest living then.

I went to a strip club and I was drugged.

I went to her work.

I would've been like, "Dude, you're fucking full of shit."

I'll be selling excuses for why there's glitter on your pants.

I'll give you $100.

I'll see you later, okay?

I'll take care of you.

I'll take care of you.

I'll take it from here, Manuela.

I'll teach you how to use it.

I'll tell you everything I know, I promise.

I'll tell you everything.

I'll tell you everything. I just don't wanna go back.

I'm about to introduce you to the dream team!

I'm about to open the door.

I'm Destiny.

I'm gonna carry all my other bags in it. It's so amazing.

I'm gonna do that.

I'm gonna eat at the diner, okay?

I'm gonna get you some food when I get off.

I'm gonna make your life a fucking living hell, you hear me?

I'm gonna rub your back, give you some pussy, go to bed.

I'm good. I'm really good.

I'm in.

I'm Kim Kardashian.

I'm not going inside.

I'm really blown away by your penmanship.

I'm really sorry.

I'm so proud of you.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry I wasn't there, baby.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. It's just your penmanship is really remarkable.

I'm Stephen.

I'm supposed to get Dragon a new lawyer.

I'm sure I will see you again.

I'm sure she had a lot to say.

I'm telling you right now, Carmine.

I'm telling you, it's the same fucking car.

I'm trying.

I'm used to people not believing me.

I've seen him.

If he's a boy, we'll name him Johnny.

If I could fuck a car...

If I don't make no motherfucking money today,

If it hadn't been for the tape,

If that's what she wants.

If you need the money.

In fact no flashing of any kind.

Instead of racing outta here all the time...

Introduce you to some of my regulars.

Is because hurt people hurt people, you know?

Is he bothering you?

Is that fair?

Is that true?

Is that what happened with Doug ####?

Is that what you're hung up on?

Is that you?

Is the amount of people that were willing to talk to us was so small it was absurd.

Isn't he amazing?

Isn't that pretty? And this one was my mother's.

It costs money.

It says, "The brain evaluates data collected from weather..."

It seems like he's making it up.

It was before he got married.

It was fun while it lasted.

It was real weird.

It was weird.

It's a little motivation for my babies.

It's a side hustle.

It's about the next guy this happens to,

It's almost enough to make me just call off the wedding.

It's barely any different than what we're doing now.

It's business.

It's catchy, right?

It's fine, Dorothy.

It's gonna take some time for me to save up the money for my label,

It's hard not to be.

It's hot.

It's just a shortcut.

It's just mostly Wall Street guys looking to spend money on pretty girls.

It's just, I don't know you.

It's ketamine and MDMA.

It's like a triple threat.

It's me.

It's nice to meet you.

It's not a Buick.

It's not some story about all strippers being thieves or whatever.

It's Ramona.

It's round one of our three song special.

It's the three birthstones of me and my sisters.

It's time to go home gentleman.

It's what you wanted. This is what you wanted.

Juliet still lets me sleep in her bed.

Juliet, this is Mommy's friend, Dorothy. Say hi.

Just a little bit... longer.

Just a sprinkle.

Just chicken wings. You can't ever go wrong with chicken wings.

Just for a minute. Come on.

Just me and Lily.

Just me and Lily. That's it.

Just some old... [chuckles]

Just spin.

Justice is served.

Keep that right here.

Knee hook.

Knee hook.

Last shit we wanna see is their damn dicks.

Lenny, give us a beat.

Let me help you.

Let me see, let's do number four.

Let me show you how it's done.

Let me show you.

Let the guys get fucked up.

Let's do it for the full 50.

Let's get another drink. Hmm?

Let's just wait for them, okay?

Let's put an ad in Craigslist.

Let's see.

Let's try it in the oven.

Like a motherfucking sloth.

Like Kobe and Shaq.

Like, ever.

Like, life threatening allergies. Yeah?

Like, what else did she say about me?

Lily!

Lily!

Lily's great. Um...

Listen, he bothers you, you got my number, right?

Listen, I really didn't mean to bother you.

Liz. Liz!

Look at this.

Look familiar? Too close to home, mama?

Look, baby, we gotta start thinking like these Wall Street guys.

Look, I don't think we need 'em anymore.

Look, we can't dance forever.

Love you.

Ma, what are you doing to us?

Make some noise for the new girl.

Management has taken the cameras out of the Champagne Room.

Maybe a score so big that we would never need anybody.

Maybe go shopping every once in a while.

Maybe if you, like, I don't know, showed me moves.

Maybe our lives would've been different.

Maybe we could work together.

Maybe we could've... looked out for one another.

Me either.

Mercedes got Ramona a job in fashion.

Mercedes is probably gonna use Dragon's lawyer.

Mercedes met Wells Fargo last time.

Mercedes, come on. Help me.

Mercedes, this is a business.

Mercedes!

Mercedes.

Mercedes. Like the car.

Minus $160.

Mom!

Mom!

Mommy, it's the one I wanted.

Money!

Monica! Are you still here? [pants]

More money, a babysitter. Problem solved.

Motherhood is a mental illness.

Motherhood is a mental illness.

Mr. Brucey!

Must be a bachelorette party going on.

My dad was a journalist.

My fiancée became my wife.

My fiancée.

My God, this woman is my spirit animal!

My mom's a psychiatrist.

My mortgage payment's on there.

My mother?

My s

My sisters.

My son...

My vagina.

Nan, do you know who he is?

Need who?

New York, we got a lot of beautiful girls.

New York!

No drinking, no drugs.

No guarantees.

No offense, we're just not feeling ya.

No way.

No, baby, this game is rigged.

No, I saw the same fucking Buick parked outside the Gansevoort.

No, just that one time.

No, look, that's it.

No, my brothers don't talk to me anymore.

No, no. No, the rest of the school year.

No, no. No. No. I don't do that kind of stuff anymore.

No, not yet.

No, right?

No, six is good. Six is good.

No, that's my friend's baby. I'm just watching it.

No, we're gonna take him to the hospital. Come on. Help me.

No, you went out. You had an epic night.

No!

No! She's a junkie.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No. Don't do that thing.

No. Hey. You're from Queens, right?

No. I'm just saying if a foot goes near my face, I'll shut down.

No. It's easier in these.

No. Me? [chuckles]

No. They won't even know what happened until they check their bank account.

No. Turn around. You know what they want.

Nobody gets hurt.

Nobody gets hurt.

Not at all. Not at all.

Not one.

Not yet.

Not yet.

Now I know you're paranoid.

Now say money!

Now, we're gonna work on our fake sniffing and our fake drinking.

Of course, the answer is gonna depend on what you already have and what you need.

Of course.

Oh, boy. [chuckles]

Oh, come on. Just stroke it.

Oh, fuck!

Oh, I put the house up for sale. We're moving back to Queens.

Oh, I see here you got your GED.

Oh, it is? What a shame.

Oh, my God, she's fucking gorgeous.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God! Hi!

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Thank you, baby.

Oh, my God. Those look amazing on you.

Oh, my God. Wait.

Oh, my goodness.

Oh, my. Move your hair, look at me or something.

Oh, no. No, thank you. [chuckles]

Oh, nothing. It's just...

Oh, shit!

Oh, shit.

Oh, we're about to get this party cranked up a notch.

Oh, yeah. They love that. The slower the better.

Oh, yes. Here we go.

Oh!

Oh! [inhales]

Oh.

Oh.

Okay, everybody.

Okay, I'll send it right now.

Okay, Nan.

Okay!

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. Call Ramona and don't stop calling till you get her.

Okay. I have something for you.

Okay. What do we got?

Okay. What else?

Okay. Why don't you take a seat right here.

Okay. You gotta help me with his torso. Come on. Careful. Careful.

On behalf of Moves, make sure you tip your waitresses,

On the bone. It's good.

On the weekend, we got scattered showers

Open your eyes, baby.

Or maybe it would've just been the same.

Or maybe they're not as good at it.

Or maybe they're single and feeling dejected.

Peter. Peter, these are my sisters.

Please, help my husband.

Please, I have nothing. I can't

Please.

Please. I wouldn't ask if it wasn't for my kid. Okay?

Precinct.

Precinct.

Pretty please.

Pretty sure.

Push it, baby.

Put a little pep in your step.

Put the phone down, Destiny.

Put your hands up.

Put your head back.

Ramona could always handle it.

Ramona didn't care, as long as she was making money.

Ramona said the same thing.

Ramona was always in control.

Ramona, quit bringing home strays.

Real soon.

Regretting the moment that we could've gone to a strip club together.

Relax. She's a pro.

Remember, drain the clock, not the cock.

Rest of the year? No.

Right now.

Right? More hours, more money.

Right? Where, like, I'm in the back seat of this car.

Right. Right. Yes. [laughing]

Right. Yeah. I know, that's how it happens.

Russians, mostly.

Sauce on the side?

Scissor sit.

See me on your way out,

See our bartender, he'll get you all signed up.

Seriously. You could be a font.

Sexy numbers. Sexy numbers.

She has half days for the rest of the year.

She just got out of jail.

She knows who he is. Nan, you know who he is.

She never really wanted to have kids, you know?

She playin' a song for Jackie's new titties.

She said you had a tough time growing up

She sent her two kids to college.

She was a cokehead. A felon.

She'll say anything to make herself look better.

She's at that difficult age.

She's going through this difficult time at school.

She's still in jail.

Shh.

Shit. I haven't had sex in two years.

Shots, please.

Since now.

Since the crash, the club needs customers.

Sit here, baby. You know, Annabelle can vomit on cue.
