Rita never talks.

- But are you sure about Lou?

- She doesn't know a thing.

Say, she's out of this. Understand? Out of it.

Of course, Gus, if you say so.

Serge, we were talking

about Gus' friend, Lou.

Yes, I have heard of her.

She's very beautiful, yes?

More beautiful than these?

She makes them look

like a bunch of dishwashers.

Hello, Mickey.

Lady Lou, you're a fine girl, a fine woman.

One of the finest women

ever walked the streets.

- How are the giris today?

- Just fine, Miss Lou.

- Hello, Rita.

- Why, Lou, I'm so very happy to see you.

Glad to see you back.

Yes.

Lou, this is Serge Stanieff.

Pleased to meet you.

Take a look at this, Gus,

and learn something.

I am delighted.

I have heard so much about you.

Yeah, but you can't prove it.

Serge is my new assistant, Lou.

Day or night work, Rita?

He should be a big help.

- You got the pictures, Lou?

- Yeah, I had them taken with all my rocks.

Wait till you take a look at these.

- I kind of like that one.

- Yes, this one is beautiful.

- And this gives me a lot of style and dignity.

- Sure is a pip, Lou.

Wait till you see this.

For the bedroom. A little bit spicy,

but not too raw, you know what I mean?

- Want to see the pictures?

- Yes, I would like very much to see them.

Don't be backward. I'm not.

They're wonderful. But I like best

that marvellous painting of you in the bar.

Yeah, I got to admit that is a flash,

but I do wish Gus hadn't hung it up...

over the free lunch.

Mike, you sure took long enough.

What've you been doing up there?

I was looking at all the beautiful things.

Looks like heaven.

That's why you gotta climb stairs

to get there.

- Is that all, Miss Lou?

- You can go.

Thank you.

Mike and his horses

are as famous as this dance hall.

The only difference, the horses are sober.

Yeah, you're sure a pip, Lou.

I suppose I'll be seeing you around, Rita?

Oh, yes.

And you Mr...

Come, Rita, let's get this business over with.

Spider, see that I'm not disturbed

by anyone. Come, Rita.

All right, boss.

Serge, come.

Pearl?

Here I come.

Come on, honey.

- I just loves to work for you, Miss Lou.

- Yeah?

You buy such pretty things.

And all them diamonds.

- You're so rich.

- Yes. I wasn't always rich.

No?

There was a time I didn't know

where my next husband was coming from.

Yeah, but I means is you ain't never been

in the circumstances...

where the wolf came to your door.

The wolf at my door?

Why, I remember when he came

right into my room and had pups.

Well?

A pint, Kelly.

- Did you fix it like I told you, Mrs. Cassidy?

- No.

Always take a bit of butter

and rub it at the bottom of the can.

- That kills the suds.

Mae West

Mary Jane "Mae" West (August 17, 1893 – November 22, 1980) was an American actress, singer, playwright, screenwriter, comedian, and sex symbol whose entertainment career spanned seven decades, known for her lighthearted bawdy double entendres and breezy sexual independence. West was active in vaudeville and on the stage in New York City before moving to Hollywood to become a comedian, actress and writer in the motion picture industry, as well as appearing on radio and television. The American Film Institute named her 15th among the greatest female stars of classic American cinema. Often using a husky contralto voice, West was one of the more controversial movie stars of her day and encountered many problems, especially censorship. She bucked the system, making comedy out of conventional mores, and the Depression-era audience admired her for it. When her cinematic career ended, she wrote books and plays and continued to perform in Las Vegas, in the United Kingdom, on radio and television and to record rock and roll albums. She was once asked about the various efforts to impede her career, to which she replied: "I believe in censorship. I made a fortune out of it." more…
