Kinky Boots Page #2

Synopsis: Charles Price may have grown up with his father in the family shoe business, but he never thought that he would take his father's place. Yet, the untimely death of his father places him in that position, only to learn that Price and Sons Shoes is failing. While in despair at his failed attempts to save the business, Charles has a chance encounter with the flamboyant drag queen cabaret singer, Lola. Her complaints about the inadequate footwear for her work combined with one of Charles' ex-employees, Lauren, leads to a suggestion to change the product to create a desperate chance to save the business: make men's fetish footwear. Lola is convinced to be their footwear designer and the transition begins. Now this disparate lot must struggle at this unorthodox idea while dealing with both the prejudice of the staff, Lola's discomfort in the small town and the selfish manipulation of Charles' greedy fiance who cannot see the greater good in Charles' dream.

We lost the contract

with Chambers, Trish.

Thing is, we lost the

contract with Chambers...

Actually, don't.

This is like apologies

for your train running late.

- It means nothing...

- It's not like that...

...so I'd rather not hear it.

I do mean it.

Bernie Taylor to the office.

Please.

This is not what I want, Bernie.

I don't want to be sitting here

doing this, but you know...

Nine out of ten shoe factories

have shut down...

What can I do?

I am sorry it's come to this, Anthony.

Daphne.

Janice.

- Derek?

- Eric.

Yes, Eric.

What can I do?

Change the product.

- Sorry?

- Like Liptons.

Start making equestrian boots.

Browns. They're making...

Whatever, climbing boots.

All them other sods, they went out

looking for their niche markets.

They just didn't sit back

in their offices going, "What can I do?"

Sorry.

I was just really, really

looking forward to a Chinese tonight.

Now I'm not sure if I can afford it.

In a sense it was lucky, they hadrt

got round to advertising your job.

Yeah, lucky.

Listen, Nic.

That's the kind of shoe, isn't it?

Don't you think?

- What?

- The wedding. At the altar.

Is that the kind of thing

you were thinking of?

On my foot.

Well, it needs to be a Jimmy Choo,

doesn't it? To work.

We might have to think

about the wedding.

Not the wedding, wedding, but...

It doesn't have to be all live band

and shoes at the altar, does it?

I mean, at the end of the day

it's about the two of us, isn't it?

I've made 15 people redundant today.

Lauren.

Lauren, you haven't heard

what I was gonna say.

Well, does it involve the words,

"job back"?

Potentially.

OK, brace yourself.

Ladies, gentlemen and those

who are yet to make up your mind.

Whatever Lola wants

Lola gets

And little man

Little Lola wants you

Make up your mind to have

No regrets

Recline yourself

Resign yourself

You're through

I always gain

What I aim for

And your heart and soul

Is what I came for

Whatever Lola wants

Lola gets

Take off your coat

Don't you know you can't win

You're no exception to the rule

I'm irresistible you fool

Give in

Lola.

All me, sweetheart.

I design everything in that club.

It's my costumes, my lighting,

my dancers, my show, love.

I mean, it's me.

Bit of a dark horse, your boyfriend.

He's my boss.

Well, he was my boss.

I got laid off.

But now he seems to think

I'm his business analyst or...

Look, you'll have to excuse Charlie.

We don't have many transvestites

in Northampton.

I'm not merely a transvestite,

sweetheart.

I'm also a drag queen.

It's a simple equation.

A drag queen puts on a frock,

looks like Kylie.

A transvestite puts on a frock,

looks like...

Boris Yeltsin in lipstick.
