Ruby Page #3

Synopsis: An exploration of certain conspiracy theories surrounding the JFK assassination from Jack Ruby's perspective. Ruby owns a run-down strip club in Dallas, and does what he can for credibility, both by giving information to the FBI and by doing the odd favor for his mafia contacts. When hitman Action Jackson is hit, Louie Vitali asks him to help get crime boss Santos out of a Cuban jail. When they get back, the bosses take his headliner Candy Cane under their wing to develop her career in Vegas. A mysterious government man named Maxwell expresses his displeasure to Ruby over his Cuban activities. Slowly all the pieces of a massive conspiracy begin to emerge to Ruby, who can do nothing to stop it.

She don't mind about

taking her clothes off...

in front of a room full of drunken men.

I can't make you out.

Club owner, finds girls in diners,

takes them in...

and doesn't even

try to climb in the sack with them.

You're a cute kid. I like you.

Truth of the matter is,

I got a lot of business interests.

Not just the club.

Most of the customers is policemen?

Tonight was a special. I do a precinct night.

That the vice squad or the narcos

you was cutting a deal with?

I have stuff to take care of.

Your club is part of Cosa Nostra?

I thought you was out of Rising Star, Texas.

That's so.

That wasn't the first time you danced.

I went into burlesque when I was 15.

I never did no good for myself.

Marrying Hank was meant to be

some kind of alternative.

Maybe I was being unfair on burlesque.

Sorry I lied to you.

If I'd told you I was a seasoned dancer,

you'd never have cared so much.

Listen, am I good, or am I good?

- How many clubs you played?

- It was so long ago, what's the difference?

No one remembers.

You got a lot of people on your back.

It'll come good.

All I need is the right breaks.

Me, too.

I gotta go to Cuba

and get an associate out of jail.

I'm an expert with customs down there.

He a capo?

You know some funny words.

He's a very important guy.

Does he own any clubs?

Matter of fact.

Does he like girls?

Nothing like a fresh broad on your arm

to make you look nice.

What are you asking me now?

I wanna move, Jack.

You know? Move on.

I'm talking about my career.

You know somebody what's important.

Owns clubs.

I've been two-timed before.

I'm Candy Cane, fresh out of nowhere.

An hour ago

you billed me as Las Vegas hot sauce.

Tomorrow you headline me

as a virgin schoolgirl from Carolina.

I'm whatever you say.

You ever climbed a high school wall

when you was a kid?

Boys' prison.

You remember how many people it takes

to climb that wall?

One to stirrup and one to hoist hisself.

That's right.

This needs salt.

I wanna thank you

for the opportunity, Louie.

Who said anything about bringing a broad?

A broad always looks good.

Santos likes to be seen with a broad.

Never mind what Santos likes.

What Louie likes is what matters.

This is a real nice cellar here.

Everything's totally crazy, Santos.

Nothing is what you'd call normal.

The way it used to be,

since you've been away.

Vito Tutone got hit.

After that, Action Jackson.

Santos, it's true. We had some losses.

That cocksucker on TV the whole time,

talking about Cosa Nostra.

That guy's out of his mind.

Besides, there ain't nobody

paying any attention to him anyway.

Now, Jack here is a very steady guy.
