But what I can't understand is why they pay

you so much for merely modeling dresses.

Oh, well, it's my size.

There aren't many girls around

that wear this size.

None that pretty, you can bet.

Who's this fella, Harmon?

The photographer

you're always talking about?

He's an absolute doll!

It's hardly work at all

and he's a wonderful photographer.

Maybe he is, but I'll never know.

I've never even heard of him.

And where are these pictures

you promised me?

Oh, Dad. I can't ask Harmon

to make prints specially for me.

I said I'd pay for them.

Are you sure you asked him at all?

Have you told him about

the other man in your life? Me.

Oh, Daddy, it's not that way at all.

Well, at this rate, you'll have enough

money to go to college this fall.

By the way, what is your next modeling job?

I don't know.

That money is for the job I did last week.

And he hasn't called me lately.

Are you sure he's satisfied with your work?

Oh, I'm sure he is. It's just that...

He isn't asking you to do anything

I wouldn't approve of, is he?

Oh, no! Nothing like that!

Don't you think I ought to meet

this fellow Harmon?

Daddy, it's just a

professional relationship.

I guess I'm glad to hear that.

I'm sure he'll call me again.

I hope he does, Kim.

If you're accepted at Craxton, we will

have to have the tuition money ready.

Of course, you can always wait a year.

A year?

Let's not worry.

He'll probably call.

I wish I had enough money

so never to have to worry at all.

You've always taken pretty good care of me.

And you know I love you.

Besides, you're the best

father I've ever had.

Mr. Lang,

we're gonna lose all our distributors

unless we get some new pictures.

We just haven't got a thing to sell.

The boy is right, Harmon.

We've poured a lot of money

into this new girl. What's happening?

Well, I haven't called her in a week.

Guess we'll just have to outwait her.

And then, when she gets edgy,

we'll just pull her into the net.

- Poor kid.

- Look, Harmon,

I think you're on the wrong track

with this Kim anyway.

Do you know that she's known all over school

as the biggest prude since Queen Victoria?

Larry, you stick

to the distribution end of the business.

"Cosi fan tutte", as Mozafl said.

What does that mean?

It means women are all alike.

Not this babe. Take it from me.

I tried that one myself.

And, uh, if I couldn't make it with her,

then nobody can.

Look, boys, our business is pleasure.

Let's do it in front of the camera.

Well, I'm willing if she is.

Harmon, I'll bet you a week's take

that you couldn't take a picture

of the two of us that you can sell.

Oh, Larry...

It's OK. It's OK.

Herschell Gordon Lewis

Herschell Gordon Lewis (June 15, 1926 – September 26, 2016) was an American filmmaker, best known for creating the "splatter" subgenre of horror films. He is often called the "Godfather of Gore" (a title also given to Lucio Fulci), though his film career included works in a range of exploitation film genres including juvenile delinquent films, nudie-cuties, two children's films and at least one rural comedy. On Lewis' career, AllMovie wrote: "With his better-known gore films, Herschell Gordon Lewis was a pioneer, going farther than anyone else dared, probing the depths of disgust and discomfort onscreen with more bad taste and imagination than anyone of his era." more…
