To Wong Foo Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar Page #5

Synopsis: After jointly winning a local drag queen pageant in New York City, Noxeema Jackson and Vida Boheme win the right and are given the round trip airfare to compete in the Drag Queen of America pageant in Hollywood, California. Noxeema sees herself as the next Dorothy Dandridge, who bucked the trend of most black American movie actresses of her time by never playing the slave house maid. Vida's style reflects her past of growing up in upper class suburban Pennsylvania. One of their fellow New York contestants, Chi-Chi Rodriguez, is a straight-talking but naive and inexperienced drag queen. Seeing that Chi-Chi needs some drag queen confidence (despite her bravada), Vida and a reluctant Noxeema decide to cash in their plane tickets and buy an older model Cadillac convertible and drive to Hollywood with Chi-Chi. Their drive takes them through much of the country where alternate lifestyles are less tolerated than they may be in New York or Los Angeles. The three have an extended stay in small

didn't have but two teeth in

his mouth, so I guess West Virginia.

(Siren)

- Oh, what in gay hell?

- What's the matter?

- This could prove problematic.

- Why?

The first name

on my driver's licence is Eugene.

Eugene?

(Vida) Yes.

(Noxeema) Eugene?

Eugene?!

- Can I see your licence?

- What seems to be the problem?

You got a tail light out.

Your licence.

Oh! A tail light out. That is

the very least of our problems.

- What have we got here?

- Hola.

Hi.

Erm... I was wondering

if you could help us.

We are three young

career girls from...

- Career girls?

- Yes. From New York City.

We are so lost you cannot believe.

- Where do you think we are?

- West Virginia?

West Virginia?

You're a long way

from West Virginia, girls.

Could you possibly help us find

a moderately priced hotel?

We don't go for that

around these parts,

white girls riding around

with n*ggers and spics.

- Talk to him, you speak honky.

- Sheriff Dullard...

- That's Dollard.

- I am sorry.

- It's Dollard.

- It says Dullard on your name tag.

It's a misprint!

As I was saying,

we are three young career girls...

- You're pretty.

- Why, thank you.

Step out of the vehicle.

- Don't do it.

- Vida, please be careful.

Get out of the car.

Christ, you're tall.

- Is this really necessary?

- Where's your licence?

Come with me to my car. Come on.

You stay in the vehicle.

Officer, if I could just explain.

My licence, the name...

- Don't worry about your licence.

- Don't worry?

I think maybe he's prejudiced.

I bet you were the brightest

in your class.

What are you doing?

- Give me a kiss.

- No. Please, no.

I know what you want. You know what

you career girls want?

- Careers?

- Same thing as every girl wants.

- No, please don't do this.

- Give Daddy some sugar.

Please, no! Please. No.

When a lady says no, she means...

Get your hand off my dick, buddy!

Sheriff Dullard?

Sh-Sheriff Dullard?

Noxee. Oh, no. Noxee!

- Don't go out there.

- What is going on?

(Vida) I think he's dead.

(Chi Chi) Don't leave me.

- I killed him.

- Why is he on the ground?

- Are you sure?

- Don't go over!

- How do you know he's dead?

- I'm not sure.

- He had his hand up my dress...

- Feeling you up?

He was trying to have

his way with me.

- How do you know he's dead?

- If you want to know, you check.

- Don't get an attitude.

- Let me check.

I knew this accountant

who died on me like this.

- Be careful, Chi Chi.

- I can't believe this.

Mamis, don't quote me

but I think this one is deceased.

Oh, my God. A dead white policeman?

- Should we blow?

- Yes. Two words, b-low.

- Let's go.

- Don't leave me with this dead man!

Look, Miss Necrophilia,
