months after stepping off a Greyhound,
she gets knocked up by some hood.
CUT TO SCENE:
INT. DRESSING ROOM -- NIGHT (PAST)
A row of chorus girls, gilded like gold-flaked flamingos,
rubbing coca-butter on bare midriffs. THE CAMERA FINDS Buddy's
mother LAVERNE, prominent bulge, seriously pregnant, she's
arguing with her employers, trying to suck in her belly,
yelling "bullshit, you just have to light it right..."
DUPREE (V.O.)
Biological abandons her and the
showgirl thing goes sideways so she
winds up working as a magician's
assistant to make extra cash.

maned MAGICIAN on stage. In the lounge, sitting on a
stripper's lap, a young Buddy plays with a deck of cards.
CUT TO:
INT. POOL HALL -- NIGHT (PRESENT DAY)
Bamboo-style ceiling fans circulate cigar smoke and shitty
attitudes. At a billiard table in the back: JACK DUPREE,
40's, third generation Bail Bondsman, talks with HOLLIS
ELMORE, 30's and "PISTOL" PETE DEEKS, 30's, ex-Vegas vice
cops. As Dupree speaks, WE SEE the scenes behind the story:
DUPREE:
...And young Buddy learns everything
about cards from this Mandrake
motherf***er his mom is working for...

kicked in the chops, pissed on, the works.
