Tomorrow.

Have you ever done anything

like this before?

No. Does it show?

Well, you're still standing there

like you're afraid to sit down.

Just take a load off.

Right. Thanks.

Hey, aren't you scared to work

here?

You mean what happened to that other dancer?

Did you hear anything about that?

It's a robbery. Maybe.

Maybe?

Yeah, maybe.

Duffy didn't make very many friends here.

Especially not with Tina.

And she really didn't like Misty.

She was real jealous. And then this...

Britney! Why don't you just shut your mouth

about things you don't know anything about.

Some of our regulars aren't

exactly gentlemen.

I don't know. I've been thinking

it's a good time to retire.

Or just move. I hear they always

need good dancers in Canada.

It's way too cold up there and

who you going to dance for?

Lumberjacks. I mean it's got to be

better and safer than this place.

Well. I'm up.

Gotta go.

Good luck, Ann. See you

tomorrow.

Thanks.

You're sitting in my station.

You new or something?

I'm Ann.

Great. Don't even think about

looking at any of my regulars.

I will seriously mess you up if

you do, got me?

Sure.

Tina, don't be so mean. She's

never even danced before.

I know. And those creeps eat

girls like her for lunch.

Okay. I'm up after Zoe. See you

guys later.

Tina, can I ask you a question?

Get away from me.

Who are you? New girl?

Ann.

Ann?

That was Duffy's real name.

I don't know anything about

that.

She made somebody really mad.

And that person was you?

No. Not me. I'm Pax. Bartender.

I make it my business to know

all the dancers.

Bully for you.

I'm not a bully, baby. I'm a lover.

Can't wait to see your act.

Damn.

Where you going in such a

hurry, darling?

Sorry, I don't start until

tomorrow.

Come on. Come on. I got a

little secret for you.

You hear anything about...

about that dancer that was

killed... Duffy?

Why? Do you know something

about it?

Well, I know a few things. I

know who killed her.

Who?

Well, maybe you and I should

talk because...

how much is it worth to you?

You don't know anything.

Hey, I know that you're the

girl from "T.V."

No, I'm not.

Well, sure you are. See, I'm

good with faces like that.

Yeah, see, you painted it up

different but it's you okay.

All right. Yeah. Hell, maybe I can get

a couple of bucks for a, you know,

a reporter working undercover

as a stripper.

Rusty, damn it. What the heck

are you doing here?

You know you're not supposed to be

taking photographs. Get out of here.

I'm going. All right, I'm going.

Yeah. Go. Go.

You okay?

Who's there?

Hey.

I was going to knock you out,

kid. Sneaking around like that.

You shouldn't have taken that
