The Pick-up Artist Page #2

I thought there was to be no problem.

Fernando, whatever you want,

you're gonna have.

You know how much money I stand to make

off this guy if I can keep him happy?

- What if she don't go for it?

- She has no choice.

Don't get mad at me, OK?

I'm Lulu, Alonzo's girlfriend.

I don't think you know what you're saying no

to when you say no to Fernando Portacarrero.

Fernando isn't just rich.

If he was just rich, I'd tell you to say, "Take

a hike, buster", but he isn't just rich, he's rich.

They're gonna do a whole segment on him

for Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.

Look, I don't know you,

but I don't care how rich he is.

Then why am I here?

Because someone important to me

owes Alonzo a lot of money.

Alonzo thinks he can scare me

into going with Fernando.

Alonzo didn't say anything

about scaring anybody.

Well, what would you call it?

I'd call it trying to talk somebody into going

out with someone rich for their own good.

I mean, rich is better than poor

no matter what, isn't it?

You don't have

any objections to money, do you?

For that kind of money I'll bet

you've put up with worse. I have.

I don't care how rich he is.

For me, sex and money just don't mix.

Now I see what you're saying.

Boy, is Alonzo gonna be furious.

You know who ought to be furious?

You, with Alonzo.

- Why?

- For sending you on an errand like this.

Hi. Are you OK?

Yeah, I'm leaving right now.

OK. I'll pick some up on the way home. Bye.

- Get in the car.

- As soon as she gets out.

- Shut your face, Lulu.

- Didn't anybody teach you manners?

- Don't bust my bones. Get in the car.

- Would you get in and give up the space?

- What?

- If you're gonna leave, leave now.

- Why?

- I've known Alonzo for three years...

I haven't taken care of you yet, wise guy.

Who do you think you're talking to?

- Forget it.

- He won't know your name tomorrow.

- Now move.

- Oh, yeah? Fat chance.

Get in the car.

- Not until she gets out.

- Don't come home.

You don't see anything

attractive about her, do you?

- Who?

- Carla, the girl Alonzo went off with.

Are you crazy? Next to you?

She's a pearl next to a swine.

I mean a swine next to a pearl.

You wouldn't go near

a creep like her, would you?

Not with a switchblade to my Adam's apple.

If Alonzo thinks I'll ever speak to him

again, he's crazier than people think he is.

- What's his name? Alonzo?

- Bet your bottom dollar on it.

- I don't gamble.

- I hope he doesn't see us here.

What are you talking about?

You saw the way I handled him.

Besides, you're in my house now,

and I am the master of my house.

Police! All right, get out of the car.

Come on. Hands over your heads.
