3 Women Page #5

Synopsis: Pinky is an awkward adolescent who starts work at a spa in the California desert. She becomes overly attached to fellow spa attendant, Millie when she becomes Millie's room-mate. Millie is a lonely outcast who desperately tries to win attention with constant up-beat chatter. They hang out at a bar owned by a strange pregnant artist and her has-been cowboy husband. After two emotional crises, the three women steal and trade personalities until they settle into a new family unit that seems to give each woman what she was searching for.

- Oh, a tepee! Oh!

Oh, great. Come on.

[Gasps]

A miniature golf course! Oh!

I love miniature golf!

[Millie] I do, too,

but it's been closed for years. Come on.

Look, Millie. They caught up with me.

[Groans]

- God.

- They caught up with me.

- Come on, will ya? I told ya there's cops in here.

- Oh. Oh. Cops.

- Let's go get a beer and see who's here.

- [Giggles]

You'll like it.

It's air-conditioned.

[Engines Revving]

Looks deserted. Some of the guys

are probably out back ridin' dirt bikes, though.

Yep.

What's that?

Oh. That's just Willie.

She paints those weird things all over the place.

[Engines Revving]

- She paint this, too?

- Yeah. It's a sand paintin' with bullet holes.

- Want a cigarette?

- Yeah.

You hadn't seen

Dirty Gertie yet.

Pull her bow and she'll say hello.

I'm gonna go put on some music.

Millie.

Hi, Willie. This is my new roommate, Pinky.

This is Willie.

We'll have a couple of beers.

She and Edgar run this place.

They live in that house out back.

She's gonna have a baby.

##[Country]

Don't pay any attention to her.

She never says much.

Wait'll you meet Edgar.

He's really funny.

He used to be on the Wyatt Earp TV show.

He knows Hugh O'Brian.

#It's late in the evenin'#

#Set 'em up again #

# Oh, I love#

[Thunder Rumbling]

[Rumbling Continues]

Edgar, this is my new roommate, Pinky.

Pinky, this is Edgar Hart.

- Hold it!

- [Laughs]

Never trust a dishonest man, my dear.

He was Hugh O'Brian's stand-in

on Wyatt Earp.

Stunt double. I did all

of Hugh's stunts for him.

- What'd you say your name was? Pinky?

- Yeah. That's my nickname.

My real name's Mildred,

but I hate it. [Laughs]

[Chuckles] Well, you, uh

You kind oflook like a Pinky to me.
