happy to be there.

She had never been

south of Bakersfield.

And here she was in LA,

because I told her she

could be Lana Turner...

or Barbara Eden.

And she believed me.

This is so f***ed up.

This is so f***ed up.

Where was I?

You were at a party.

Yeah.

That's when I first met him.

- He was talking to Ron.

...rich...

- Ronnie...

- Hey.

John Holmes, this is my business

partner, David Lind.

Hey, what's up?

Now the deal with the Arabs...

John, this is

my business partner, Dave.

Oh, cool, hey.

So I was just telling Ronnie

about this business proposition

about this Arab,

who's a really wealthy business man

and he calls me brother

and he literally has mountains of cash

- and drugs.

- Cruz:
Wait a minute, John Holmes?

- The John Holmes?

- Yep.

- Johnny Wadd partied at Wonderland?

- All the time.

The guy is a f***ing cokehead.

He's up to his neck in the sh*t.

Wait, who's John Holmes?

The porn king.

Sam, the guy's a legend.

Never heard of him.

I knew who he was, but I wasn't

going to make a big thing out of it.

He blew me off, too.

Ron, I'm not f***ing lying, man.

- Just hear me out on it.

- Are you John Holmes?

- No.

- Come on, John, don't lie to her.

- What's your name, baby?

- Janet.

You wanna see it?

- Yeah.

- Yeah?

- Show her, John.

- Ron, stop.

Show her. Or I'll f***ing

shoot it, man.

- Look, man, that could be loaded.

- (gunshot)

I'll f***ing shoot it, man.

(unzips)

Man:
Wow.

- Can I touch it?

- Yeah, baby, go ahead.

Enjoy your evening, ladies.

Put it in your pants, John.

The whole party didn't come

to see your cock.

I don't understand. Why did John Holmes

hang out in Wonderland?

He burnt every other

drug dealer in town.

Ronnie was the only guy

who would let him hang out.

John is a scumbag. Stone thief.

Guy's bad news.

But Ronnie...

he liked the novelty.

And John...

he liked our drugs.

Baby, I need a hit real bad.

I made the calls, there's nothing around

till the weekend.

Yeah, I can't wait that long.

Did you talk to Diaz?

- Nobody's holding.

- I know a gal out in Tarzana...

who might be able

to make a phone call.

- Works at Captain Pizza?

- F***ing pizza joint, man?

You think I want some f***ing pizza?

You think I'm hungry?

The only thing I want right now

is some dope, man.

- The Arab's got some China White.

- LA was dry, no one was holding,

but Ronnie was looking

for a long shot, he was dope sick.

So the Arab was Eddie Nash?

But I didn't realize that

till later... I'll get to that.

So Holmes offers to do us a favor...

he says he'll take Ronnie's

antique guns up to the Arab

to trade for as much China

and blow as he could get.

Sounded like a good plan,
