The Notorious Bettie Page Page #2

If the music's good,

I like it.

- This is Jake.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- And Ray.

- Hi.

- Pleased to meet you.

The more the merrier.

Ain't that right?

Why are we...

leaving the city?

Where is this place?

Where are we going?

Where are we going?!

Don't try and run.

Oh, please,

for the love of Jesus.

- Please.

- Don't make trouble now.

Can't nobody hear you

around here anyway.

You know what we're

here for.

Just get in the back

of the car.

Please, I can't.

Please, it's that time

of the month.

Sh*t,

I thought you said we were

getting some tail here.

Well,

she'll have to give us some kind

of a satisfaction.

"Dear Goldie,

I've decided to make a fresh start

in New York City.

I've found an apartment

just off Times Square

and painted

and decorated it myself.

I entered a beauty contest

or two.

I won second prize in one,

which was not too bad...

a set of brand new Revere

pots and pans,

which I needed very much.

I hope this finds y'all

well and healthy

and you kids

are staying out of trouble.

Love to y'all.

Bettie."

- Can I ask you a question?

- Well...

Don't be nervous. I'm a policeman.

Let me show you my badge.

See?

I was just curious...

have you ever done

any photographic modeling?

Well, not for photographs.

Well, you look like a model.

I'm a policeman,

but I'm a photographer too...

on weekends, you know?

If you let me take your picture,

I'll give you copies for free.

- Take my photo? Right here?

- Sure, why not?

- Looking like this?

- Sure.

I don't know.

You're a southern girl,

aren't you?

Well, I don't wanna

make you feel uncomfortable.

Oh, no no,

it's not that.

Don't get me wrong.

I worked with a colored woman,

and she was real nice.

It's just...

Well, I...

Oh, what's the harm in it?

- Come on, over here.

- Good.

I don't think

the kids should see this.

Good, Bettie.

So where're you from in the South?

Nashville, Tennessee.

- Ah, home of the Grand Ole Opry.

- You know it?

I hear it on the radio

sometimes.

My wife listens to it

now and then.

Could you lift

your chin up for me, please?

A little more.

Good.

Now, uh...

Head up and

to the right.

Great, Bettie.

Good.

Hey, Officer.

Uh...

well, it seems as if

some of the people here

aren't happy about me

taking your picture, Bettie.

Well, they're just prejudiced.

I used to be

when I was younger,

but I grew up

and I learned better.

- All we're doing is taking pictures.

- There's kids here.

Maybe next time

we should use my studio.

Let's go.

Good.

Good.

Uh, give me friendly.

Now, give me pert.

Good.

One more.

And give me haughty.

Good, Bettie.

Good.

Now, could you turn

to the side for me, please?
