and, you know, too erratic.

Keep it flowin'. It's lookin' good.

- Erotic, not erratic.

- Yeah, erotic, not erratic. Good.

Could you start it

from the top, please?

I don't want this to look

too much like a gong show here.

I want this sexy and hot. I'm gettin'

high-payin' high rollers in here.

Let loose of the tits

with a brain or somethin'!

We're not even talkin'!

F*** it! Hey!

You got the nerve to tell me

about cheating on my husband...

when you haven't taken your eyes

off these f***in' bosoms.

Right. I chase--

That's all I do all day.

- I f***in' chase women, right?

- Touch them. Smell them. Taste them.

- I'm f***in' Madeline!

- I know.

- And you're f***ing humiliating her--

- Bullshit!

Excuse me! Excuse me!

We're makin' film here!

This is all over the big screen here!

Time out! Time out!

I'm directing! This is my club!

I want it quiet!

Make this work related.

Use it. Use it.

Don't spew it all over here.

All right. Come on over here.

Move this.

- Recognize this guy, huh?

- Yeah.

Matty, the movie star.

Couldn't keep him outta the frame.

You gonna be in the movie?

- Yeah, I'm gonna be in this movie.

- Let's ask the editor.

You know what I mean?

He's fantastic.

I'm glad to have him on board.

One point, 25,000 in the club.

One point for the movie, 50,000.

7 5,000, you can be on the boat.

1 00,000, I'll put you in the movie.

Think it over, Pete.

I got a long list. Let me know.

- Oh, man.

- Hey.

Where's Annie?

How the f*** would I know?

I left her with you.

She's the star of your movie. How can

you make the movie without Annie?

I left her with you.

Where is she?

Let me ask you a question.

You sleepin' with her?

Which would make you feel worse?

If I say yes or no?

Are you f***ing her?

No, I'm f***ing you.

No, I'm f***ing you.

What do you mean, am I f***in' her?

Give me a f***in' answer.

Come on.

- Did you f*** her? Come on.

- Listen to me.

- It's not a question of did I--

- Did you f*** her?

It's not a question of did I?

It's, do I remember?

But more importantly...

do you f***in' remember?

Think on it.

- Let's go for a drive.

- Don't be pullin' on me.

- Let's go for a ride.

- You got wheels?

Yeah, man, look at this.

- I got a new one.

- Okay, cool. I'll drive.

Let's go.

Come on.

I wanted that f***in'baby, man.

That baby meant that

we had something that was real...

that we weren't

just f***in' around...

that we were capable

of creating something that was--

Why would I-- Why would I--

I wouldn't do that, man.

Annie's the one, man.

I mean, you ever been married?

Both of us.

We've never been married.

Both of our parents

were married one time.
