Burlesque

Sixteen-fifty for you, 16:50 for me.

Loretta, I'm leaving.

What do you mean?

Soon as I get my check, I'm gone.

I'll be back.

Dwight, I need my

check before you leave.

Payday's at the end of the month.

You still haven't paid us

for last month.

I need my money,

Loretta's got a kid to feed.

Hey, you got a problem

with management?

Put a note in the suggestion box.

- Dwight! I'm serious. I'm quitting.

- I'll be back for the dinner shift.

I sure as hell won't be.

What are you doing?

I'm only taking what he owes me,

not a penny more.

You take that money,

he's gonna come after you.

- He's gotta find me first.

- What're you gonna do?

This ought to cover that bike you've

been wanting to get for little Keith.

You're late to pick him up

from school.

Go. I got everything covered here.

You're really going?

I'm really going.

That bike can wait till Christmas.

You keep what he owes you.

I'll deal with Dwight, okay?

See you later.

Oh... sometimes I get a good feeling

I get a feeling that I never,

never had before

And I just got to tell you right now

I believe, I really do believe that

Something's got a hold on me

(Oh, it must be love)

Something's got a hold on me

right now child

(Yeah, it must be love)

Let me tell you now

I got a feeling, I feel so strange

Everything about me seems to

have changed

Step by step,

I got a brand new walk

I even sound sweeter when I talk

I said... Oh, oh... ho

I said, baby

Oh, it must be love

(You know, it must be love)

How much to Los Angeles?

- One-way or round-trip?

- You're kidding, right?

Let me tell you now

My heart feels heavy,

my feet feel light

I shake all over, but I feel alright

I never felt like this before

Something's got a hold on me

that won't let go

I never thought it could

happen to me

My heart was heavy when in misery

I never thought it could be this way

Love's sure gonna put a hurting on me

I said... Oh, oh... ho

I said, baby

Oh... it must be love

(You know it must be love)

He walks like love

(You know he walks like love)

And he talks like love

(You know he talks like love)

Makes me feel alright

(Makes me feel alright)

In the middle of the night

(In the middle of the night)

Na na na na!

(Na na na na!)

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Hey, Coco. Coco Puff, you're on.

Come on. You're on, you're on.

We may not have windows...

...but we do have the best view

on Sunset Strip.

Twenty bucks.

What is this place, a strip club?

"Strip club"?

Honey, I should wash your mouth out

with the Jgermeister.

The only Pole you'll find in there

is Natasha, the short girl.

Baby cakes, I got a club to fill here.

Right, sorry.

Enjoy.

Welcome to Burlesque

Everything you dream of

But never can possess

Nothing's what it seems

Welcome to Burlesque

Everyone is buying

Put your money in my hand

If you got a little extra

Well, give it to the band

You may not be guilty

But you're ready to confess

Tell me what you need

Welcome to Burlesque

You can dream of Coco

Do it at your risk

The triplets grant you mercy

But not your every wish

Jesse keeps you guessing

So cool and statuesque

"Behave yourself," says Georgia

Welcome to Burlesque

Everyone is buying

Put your money in my hand

If you want a little extra

Well, you know where I am

Something very dark

Is playing with your mind

It's not the end of days

It's just the bump and grind

Show a little more

Show a little less

Add a little smoke

Welcome to Burlesque

- Can I get you a drink?

- Only if you're buying.

- Welcome to L.A.

- Thank you.

- Where you from?

- Iowa.

- Kentucky. We're practically related.

- Thought you looked familiar.

Hey, sweetheart?

You wanna do your job? Let's go.

Who does a girl have to flirt with

to get from here to up there?

Is this you flirting?

With someone wearing more eyeliner

than me? Yeah.

Through that door over there.

Ask for Tess.

- She's your guy. Flirt away.

- Thanks.

- Iowa.

- Yeah?

Use my name.

Thanks, Jack.

Hold it! Hold it. That's good.

We're on in five minutes.

Five minutes, ladies.

- Get over there.

- All right, I'm coming.

Ladies! Let's move it, ladies!

Does anyone know where Nikki is?

Both spotlights are supposed

to pull in.

Hey Georgia,

your boyfriend is so cute.

So tonight, takeout and a movie?

Both.

- Casablanca and Oreos.

- Yes.

Tess! I lost a contact on the stage.

Okay, if you fall off the stage,

leg extended, b*obs up.

Remember, you're a goddess.

- Thank you, Sean.

- You're welcome.

"Thank you, Sean."

Come here, give me.

- Wait.

- What? The foot?

Yeah, the foot, the back, the neck.

The hips, the breasts, the face...

Vince, the sink's busted

upstairs again.

I'm not calling a plumber, Coco.

Tess, have you read this letter

from the bank?

Vincent, how many times have I told

you no business during business hours.

- Marcus Gerber is coming in tonight.

- So what?

This isn't going away.

You won't talk to me before the show,

you won't talk to me after the show.

It's like you're avoiding me.

Well, I didn't divorce you

to spend more time with you.

I may not be "Mr. Tess" anymore,

but I still own half this place.

"Mr. Tess."

That is so hot.

Nice, but it won't pay the bills.

Wait. Wait. Zip me up.

Excuse me, I'm looking for Tess.

Hi, are you Tess?

And you are in my mirror because?

Oh, sorry. I'm friends with Jack,
