Grindhouse Page #2

Synopsis: A double-bill of thrillers that recall both filmmakers' favorite exploitation films. "Grindhouse" (a downtown movie theater in disrepair since its glory days as a movie palace known for "grinding out" non-stop double-bill programs of B-movies) is presented as one full-length feature comprised of two individual films helmed separately by each director. "Death Proof," is a rip-roaring slasher flick where the killer pursues his victims with a car rather than a knife, while "Planet Terror" shows us a view of the world in the midst of a zombie outbreak. The films are joined together by clever faux trailers that recall the '50s exploitation drive-in classics.

So, when are the boys

showing up?

They're gonna meet us

at the Chili Parlor.

Maybe they can bring some pot.

F*** that. No.

I don't wanna be either A,

depending on their f***ing ass,

or B, depending on their ass.

Uh-uh. If we don't score ourselves,

we're gonna be stuck with them

all f***ing night.

Ooh! Try Lanna-Frank.

Best idea you had all day.

Oh, hey! That's your

last billboard before Guero's!

Oh, come on, give me a break.

Oh, come on, my ass!

We said every time.

Okay.

##

Jules, let me get a drag.

Thanks.

Oh, my God.

Hey, this is...

and I's U.T. days, Arlene.

Hey.

- You wanna join us?

- For a second, but I'm with some friends.

Ooh...

So, you must be... must be...

So, you must be

the infamous Butterfly.

Shh!

She don't know nothing about it.

- Know about what?

- When were y'all gonna tell her?

- Soon.

- Tell me what?

Yeah, now thanks to you,

we've gotta tell her sooner than later.

All right, cut the sh*t.

What the f*** is going on?

I said a little something-something

about you on the air today.

Julia, what the f***

did you say about me on the radio?

All I said was I had

a sexy friend named Butterfly

who was in from out-of-town

for the weekend,

and we would be going out

somewhere in Austin tonight,

and if they were out on the town,

maybe they'd see us.

And I described you, and I said

that if they spotted you while we were out,

if they'd do something,

you 'd do something.

Okay, now, Julia, I'm serious.

What did you say

and what did you say I'd do?

Anywho, I could explain what I said,

which would be boring,

or Marcy over here,

who is an incredible actress,

could act it out for you,

which I think will give you a better idea

what you have in store for you tonight.

Okay, so just tell me your way.

- So we'll act it out with Marcy?

- Sure.

Okay, give Marcy your drink.

Okay, so you 're

in a club or a bar,

and Marcy's a kind of cute

or kind of hot or kind of sexy

or better be

f***ing hysterically funny,

but not-funny-looking guy

who you could f***.

Got it.

Okay, Marcy, take it.

Howdy.

Hi, there.

Excuse me, but...

your name wouldn't be

"Butterfly," would it?

Yes, it is, and it seems

you have me at a disadvantage.

Barry.

Pleased to meet you, Barry.

Y'all are gettin' me hot!

Shh!

So is, uh...

"Butterfly" your real name?

Yes, it is.

And how'd you know

my name, Barry?

I listened to Jungle Julia's show

this mornin'.

Oh, you did, did you?

Oh, yeah, I listen to her show

every morning.

Oh, you do, do you?

Yeah, she's like

the coolest lady in town.

Don't you think

she's got a big ass?

Nah, man!

I like her ass that way.

She got a black girl's ass.
