None of us are gentlemen anyway.

Get out your money, big mouth.

Gee, uh, I'm sorry, Kim, but I just, uh,

don't have any assignments

that fit you right now.

Yeah, yeah. I know you

need the work, but...

Oh, now, come on, Kim.

Certainly you're a good model.

Uh-huh.

What?

Oh, uh...

Yes. Yes. I'm shooting some pictures.

But I don't think you'd

wanna pose for these.

Look, Kim, I'll tell you what.

Why don't you come down here,

we'll talk about it.

Ooh, no, no, no. Not now, not now.

Make it about 5 o'clock, OK?

Goodbye.

Hey, while you're fiddling,

Rome is burning.

Your stick's getting cold.

Don't worry. I'll

put some more fire under it.

Besides, it's well done anyway.

Hello, loud mouth?

Listen, pole vault down

here about 5:
30, huh?

Yeah, yeah. Back door.

Yeah, the old cloak and dagger stuff.

OK.

All right.

More contributions

to the delinquency of a minor?

Well, now, if she's, uh, anything like you,

contributions will be gladly accepted.

I could never do that.

Well, I told you you wouldn't do it.

Haven't you anything else?

Look, sweetie, this job will keep me

and whoever does the job tied up for weeks.

It's a tremendous job.

But why does your client

have to see me like that?

I told you. This company,

uh, they make under things.

And they wanna take a look at you.

First, I got them to settle

for just a photograph of ya,

instead of a personal inspection.

And then I got them to settle

for just the upper half.

What if I pose in my bra?

Look, you want me to lose the deal?

Hey, I shouldn't even

be discussing this with you.

Look, Kim,

do you trust me?

I guess so.

Did I tell you that this job

pays $500 for two weeks' work?

- $500?

- Mmm-hmm.

Well, I hate to have you

pass up that money.

Say, I tell you what.

You pose for me

and I'll take some shots of you

and then I'll show you the shots.

If you don't like 'em, we won't submit 'em.

Tear 'em up and forget the whole thing.

Sound fair enough?

Look, kid, yes or no. You don't like

the deal, you can get up and leave.

There's plenty of models around.

I can't sit here all afternoon, you know?

Where can I...

Back in there.

Just the upper half, you said.

Oh, come on. What is this, a nursery school?

Yeah, yeah, sure. Just the upper half.

Get up here, Kim,

would you please?

Oh, come on, come on!

I've done enough bathing suit shots of you

to know that you won't be embarrassed

to give me that dress.

Yeah.

Give me the rarest thing every time.

Now, as soon as I fix this light,

we'll get started.

OK.

Drop.

Get some focus here.

Move a bit to the left.

OK, now let's make one.

Uh, put your hair over your left shoulder.

And give me the hands behind the neck.

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…
