Kinky Boots Page #3

Synopsis: Charles Price may have grown up with his father in the family shoe business, but he never thought that he would take his father's place. Yet, the untimely death of his father places him in that position, only to learn that Price and Sons Shoes is failing. While in despair at his failed attempts to save the business, Charles has a chance encounter with the flamboyant drag queen cabaret singer, Lola. Her complaints about the inadequate footwear for her work combined with one of Charles' ex-employees, Lauren, leads to a suggestion to change the product to create a desperate chance to save the business: make men's fetish footwear. Lola is convinced to be their footwear designer and the transition begins. Now this disparate lot must struggle at this unorthodox idea while dealing with both the prejudice of the staff, Lola's discomfort in the small town and the selfish manipulation of Charles' greedy fiance who cannot see the greater good in Charles' dream.

There, I said it.

Ta. Whatever. Don't kid yourself.

You're never more than ten feet away

from a transvestite.

You made her redundant?

You miserable sod.

Things aren't very good

in mers shoes.

Well, I'm not, certainly.

Yes. Precisely.

How much do you weigh?

The right amount.

How much do you drink?

I mean... They're womers boots,

are they, that you buy?

You have to buy womers boots

because you...

You see, the distribution of pressure

on a conventional female heel

cannot be expected

to support a mars weight.

And if trans... you know, whatevers,

drag queens are everywhere,

like you said, then, not in a...

Living Dead kind of way but...

Then, do you think there is

a niche market for proper, good,

decent, built-to-last boots

for women... that are men?

All this way for my advice.

I feel like Oprah.

I'd like to measure you for it,

go home, make a pair.

Who gets to keep the boots?

A little warning.

The answer is, "You do, Lola."

You do, Lola.

Where do I come to pick it up?

What, Prices of Northampton, is it?

Yeah, but I'll come to you.

Oh, no. As they say, a good

pair of boots is won'th walking for.

No, you see,

I come here all the time, and so...

I'll come to you.

Right.

Look behind you.

What? What is it?

It's your niche market, Charlie.

Big niche.

Ladies, gentlemen

and those of you

who are yet to make up your mind,

our very own Lola.

He walked into my life

And now he's taking over

And it's beautiful

Yes it's beautiful

I've gone with better looking guys

He's gone with prettier looking girls

But now we're beautiful

I think we're beautiful

I don't need love affairs anymore

I don't need love affairs anymore

Can't you see

It's the chemistry

You really must agree

together we are beautiful

We are beautiful...

Well?

Cool.

I was thinking, we should...

If you haven't got anything else on

then maybe you could come back to...

To your house?

The factory.

I'm gonna need someone on

the web to research markets and...

If Pat got on those websites

she'd have a heart attack.

Yeah.

Besides, you started it,

being in that strop.

Oh, well.

I mean, I just had the strop, Charlie.

You saw the idea.

And that is why some of us end up

with our names above the factories

and others just on

the clocking-in cards.

Right.

Well, as someone

with their name on a factory,

can I invite you to have your name

on one of my clocking-in cards?

They say, calm down,

they say whatever life throws at you,

whatever emotions you feel,

somebody somewhere

has written a song about it.

Now, I hope that'll be true.

Until somebody writes a song called

No One Stays Young Forever And

One Day I Hope You Get Dumped
