Hi. Are there any

dinner theaters in town?

Uh, not in this decade.

Now-

Sir, isn't there a place...

- Yeah, my face.

Hey, it's Jeff. I, uh, I

came by to see you again,

but, uh,

But, uh, I'm bound

to run into you sometime, right?

I'm gonna keep trying. So, uh, anyway, I

a ton of these salons in France.

Where we're from...

originally.

Oh. Trs bien.

You can fnish it then.

Seal it tightly with ductile sheathing.

Right.

Excuse me, Mrs. Morse.

Oh, sure.

Okay.

- Is that too tight?

- No, no, this is good.

It'll help squish out all that water

I've been retaining.

Fifteen pounds to go.

Mrs. Morse, you're thin.

- No, no, I'm not.

- But you are, really.

- No. No.

- Your leg is-

- No, no.

- Oh.

Can't even get my butt

through this door.

Hello.

The "I hate my body" salon.

May I help you? Hello? Hello?

Hello? Oh, they're gone.

Mrs. Morse, are you okay?

Well, the girl said

it's the new look.

Straw hair and beige lipstick?

Well, it's the new

California look, right?

- Yeah, for dead Californians.

- Oh.

Don't be sad.

We can help you.

I love it!

You're fred!

Now we don't have any money

for rent. This is so hard!

I miss Mikey.

And poor Frank is dead.

When they fnd us,

we're dead too.

Oh! What are you doing?

We need to get drunk.

They're lip-synching.

Strut our stuff

The music gives us a chance

Mary.

Yes, Mary?

Did you hear, they're moving

their act to Vegas.

Wow!

This is it.

If we could do our act here,

I could die happy.

Can anyone audition?

Yes, I can.

We're going to get the job.

Now don't get your hopes up, sweetie. It's

an audition. We have to practice tomorrow.

Ooh, I know what we're

going to wear. Chickapow.

We've got the rhythm tonight

Are you crazy?

Why not?

Because we're women.

No one needs to know that.

No way, Connie. No way.

Ready. Smile.

Yeah?

Mary, we heard you're

looking for a new act.
