The Pink Ladies (1980) - full transcript

- Game.

Once again, the better
team reigns victorious.

- Next time, why don't you
take Leslie for a partner,

give me Jane?

Then we'll see who
reigns victorious.

- Well, of course, dear,

if you really think it matters.

I don't know about
the rest of you,

but I could really
use a good shower.

Be a good girl and take
my little jacket for me.

Thanks so much.



- You don't really think teams
have anything to do with it?

I mean, let's face it.

Lori's just a better
player than the rest of us.

- Of course Lori's better
than the rest of us.

She's been playing longer.

- Now, Kay, it's no more
than a matter of touch,

pure and simple.

- I'm inclined to
agree with Lori.

- As long as I've known you,

it's been your nature
to agree with Lori.

- Much to her credit.

- Win or lose, I'm just
glad to be playing.

- What was that, honey?

- I said it doesn't
matter who wins or loses.



It's the game that counts.

- How original.

I didn't think you had it
in you to be so profound.

- Yeah, mind if I laminate
that for my wallet?

- Now, girls, I know
exactly what Leslie means,

and I agree with her 100%.

- Thank you, Lori.

I'm glad you see things my way.

Ah yeah...

Feels so good.

- [Leslie] I sure enjoyed that.

- [Lori] I'm sure you did, dear.

- [Jane] What are
we doing tomorrow?

- [Lori] I haven't decided yet.

- [Kay] Yes, you have.

- [Lori] I beg your pardon.

- [Kay] Tomorrow's Wednesday.

- [Leslie] So?

- [Lori] Kay's right, dear.

Last week, we decided to
make Wednesday theater day.

- [Jane] Oh, yes, of course.

I forgot.

- [Kay] Why, Jane, how
could you forget something

as wonderful as theater day?

- [Leslie] I didn't forget.

- [Kay] Naturally.

- [Lori] Did you
get the tickets?

- [Leslie] Yeah, they're
right here in my purse.

I'm protecting
them with my life.

- [Lori] I'm sure
you are, Leslie.

I'm sure you are.

The rest of us are
grateful, aren't we, clears?

- [Jane] Of course we are.

- [Kay] That depends.

What are we going to see?

- [Jane] I hope it's comedy.

- [Lori] Of course it's
a comedy, isn't it, clear?

- [Leslie] I think so.

- [Lori] What do you
mean, you think so?

- [Leslie] Not sure.

- [Kay] What difference
does it make?

- [Jane] A lot of difference.

We all like to laugh, don't we?

- [Lori] Jane's right,
that's all there is to it.

What is the name of the play?

- [Leslie] I'm not
sure, I'll have to look.

Um.

Oh, here they are.

Eugene O'Neill's
"The Iceman Cometh."

- [Jane] Oh, sounds dirty.

- [Lori] There, you see?

Nothing to worry about.

- [Kay] What?

- [Lori] Did you ever hear
of a person named Eugene

that was capable of writing
anything but a comedy?

Be serious.

I can't wait.

I love the theater.

- [Kay] Oh, really?

I wouldn't be in such
a hurry to leave home.

- [Lori] What do you mean?

- [Kay] If I had a niece
that looked like yours

and a husband as horny as yours,

I don't think I'd be so
willing to leave the house.

- [Jane] You must be kidding.

- [Kay] I must.

- [Jane] Of course
she's kidding.

- [Kay] Never mind, go back
to whatever you're doing.

- [Commentator] Outside, ball
two, two and one to Limozili.

- [Fan] Golly.

- [Commentator] Mike
Lacost, just 23 years old.

Tall, thin right-hander.

He's 6'4", weighs 190.

Born in Glendale, makes his
home now in Visalia, California.

The runner goes,

and it's hit in the
air to left field.

Back goes George Foster,

and Foster makes the catch.

The Mets did put the play on.

They played hit and run.

Limozili hit it hard,

but within the reach of
the left-fielder Foster.

One away, and the cleanup batter
Richie Hepner takes his turn

Richie hitting .259.

- Bring it, Yankees.

- [Commentator]
Richie always looks

like he's enjoying
his turn at bat,

even when the hits
aren't falling.

Ball one.

It's usually after he swings

and misses at a pitch

that he'll pick up a clod,

and hit it like you
were hitting a fungo.

Pitch out called
by Johnny Bench.

Two balls and no strikes
to Richie Hepner.

New York trailing one, nothing.

We're in the fourth inning.

- Yeah, give him the ball.

Don't swing, don't--

Ah, you...

- [Commentator]
Came pretty close

to being a low throw.

- Lori, is that you?

- [Lori] Yes, dear.

-Are you coming in here, dear?

- [Lori] Yes, dear.

- Um, are you sure
you're coming in here?

- [Lori] Yes, dear.

- [Bert] I'm watching
the ball game.

I'll be in
in a minute, dear.

- I'll be out in a minute, dear.

Yankee game's not
on yet

Hi Burt!

- What are you doing out
here in the moonlight?

Come to think of it,

what am I out here
doing in the moonlight?

Oh, that's right, I'm
returning this cup

of sugar to Lori that
she loaned me last week.

Sorry, it's cute.

Moonlight.

You know, my husband
Raymond and I,

when we were first married,

I used to sing to
him in the moonlight.

- Oh?

- Yes.

♪ Moon river

♪ Wider than a mile

♪ I'm crossing you
in style today

I know the words.

♪ Wherever you're going,
I'm going your way

- You should've seen the look

on Kay's face when Lori
and I won the game.

It was priceless,
absolutely priceless.

- [Harry] Yes, dear.

- She's such a poor loser.

- [Harry] I'm sure that she is.

- Jealousy, I suppose.

And that Leslie, she
is such a schmuck,

so helpless, no class.

She wouldn't know a Rembrandt
from a paint by number.

I don't know why Lori insists

on taking her with
us to public places.

- [Harry] Neither do I.

Can't think for the life
of me--

- Quiet, I'm trying
to watch the show.

- [Harry] Sorry, dear.

- Intellectually stimulating.

Not tonight, Harry.

I'm not in the mood.

- You're never in the mood.

What's gotten into you?

- I guess you could say
I'm that cosmopolitan girl.

- Did you have a nice
day today, honey?

- Not especially.

- What's on the
agenda for tomorrow?

- Why do you ask?

- It's just that every day
seems to be something different.

If it's not racquetball,
it's mahjong.

If it's not mahjong,
it's Bridge.

Why don't you just stay
home once in a while?

- Why should I?

- No reason, no reason.

Don't forget to turn off the
light when you go to bed.

- Don't worry, dear.

Everything's fine.

Don't worry.

Good night.

- [Kay Voiceover]
Life in the brothel

was not always so hectic.

On Sundays, for instance,
the mayor forbid us

to open our doors to the public.

And we were forced to
amuse ourselves

in various and sundry ways

that were much to my liking.
(honky tonk piano music)

I particularly remember one hot,

sticky Summer Sunday in July

when it was my turn
to rule the roost.

- Kay, what is it?

- It's nothing.

I was just having a nightmare.

Go back to sleep.

- A nightmare?

I hope it wasn't too unpleasant.

- Well, it wasn't a
picnic, but I'll survive.

Go back to sleep.

Jerry, I said go back to sleep.

That's better.

- I don't know why you do it.

- Do what?

- Hang around with
those three women.

- Why, Raymond, those
are the best friends

a girl could ever ask for.

- Sure they are.

- Well, what would it look like

if I didn't associate with
the wives of your friends?

- We ride the train
together, that's all.

What are you doing?

- Oh, I'm trying on
this new cold cream

that Lori told me all about.

Sabotage.

- What?

- Lori told you about
it, it must be sabotage.

It probably eats away skin.

- Oh, don't be silly.

-And besides, couldn't you wait

until later to put it on?

- Oh, Raymond,
whatever do you mean?

- It doesn't do much
for me...sexually.

That bathrobe, couldn't you
wear something nicer to bed?

Or better yet, nothing at all?

- Why, Raymond, you know we
had this conversation before,

and we're not ready
for any more children.

Not yet, anyway-

- I forgot.

- Oh well, you're excused.

Are you all right in there?

- [Raymond] Of
course I'm all right.

What do you think I
am, a two-year-old?

- I was concerned.

It's been so quiet in there.

- [Raymond] There,
is that better?

- Just knowing that you're
all right makes it better.

Oh, Raymond, do you remember

when I used to sing you to sleep

when we first got married?

Do you remember that song?

♪ Good night, my love

♪ Pleasant dreams,
sleep tight, my love

- [Raymond] Good night, Leslie.

- Oh.

Nighty-night, dear.

♪ Sister midnight

Hello slave.

Comfortable?

No

No?
What do you mean, no?

What do you say?
What do you mean?

Let me out of this.

You want out of it?

Yes.

That's no way for a slave
to talk to his Mistress.

Don't you think so?

Hmm?

Slave!

You comfortable slave?

No..

Not comfortable?
What's a matter?

You cold slave?

Don't feel well?

What's the matter?
Nobody take care of you?

Ugh..

Looks like somebody's
been here before I have..

I think you best tell me
you're comfortable

Don't you slave?

Hey!
Answer me!

What?!

I'm comfortable

Comfortable what?

You miserable dog..

You're not a very good slave

There's not much to
do with you either.

Doubt if you could even
untie yourself

You know what I mean?

Course there's not much to do
with something like you.

Just get rid of you.

Maybe just leave you here
and never feed you.

Just starve with the rats...

Yeah, I can see the cock
roaches on your balls.

Dog.

You turn my stomach
again.

What slave?

Come back!

Please. Come back!

- Leslie.

- [Leslie] Yes, dear?

- Can I ask you something?

- [Leslie] Yes, dear.

- Haven't you ever wanted to...

- [Leslie] Yes, Raymond?

- Haven't you ever wanted to...

- [Leslie] Yes, Raymond?

- To do something dirty.

- [Leslie] Oh, Raymond,
you're such a kidder.

Look, can you make sure

your throw-up's
all the way flushed

before you come back to bed?

Nighty-night.

Oh, by the way, I was thinking

about, every theater
day now is on Wednesday.

We're all going to
the theater this week.

I don't quite recall
what we're going to see.

It was something about a guy
named Eugene, and he cometh.

- I don't have a sister,
but if I had a sister...

- But if you had a sister,
would you fuck her?

- Well, I would
fuck everybody else.

Why wouldn't I fuck my sister?

I'd certainly fuck your sister.

- I know you would.

- Or your sister-in-law
for that matter.

All right, all right.

- Will you relax?

- Yeah, take it easy.

- Harry's right, Ray.

Sit down.

Enjoy the view.

See what I mean?

How'd you like to spend
a few days with that?

- I never indulge in fantasies.

They drain the life fluids.

- They do what?

- They drain the life fluids.

- What life fluids?

- You know, the fluids
important to life.

- Is he kidding?

- I'm not kidding.

- I don't think he's kidding.

- You're kidding,
right, Raymond?

- Wrong, Harold,
I'm 100% serious.

- Butch, I'm a married woman.

Just fill up my tank and
stop eyeing me that way.

Then he had the nerve to say--

- Will there be
anything else, ladies?

- He says to me, I'd be glad
to fill up your tank anytime.

Can you imagine the nerve?

What do you want?

- Well there be anything else?

— Well, I'd like a...

- No, no, thank you, just
be on your merry way.

Yes, ma'am.

- Impertinent bastard.

- Take it easy.

He's just doing his job.

- I think he's kinda cute.

- You would.

- These glasses
should've been chilled.

Why didn't they
chill these glasses?

- Calm down.

What difference does it make?

- No, Jane is absolutely right.

They're much better chilled,
aren't they, Leslie?

- I guess so.

- [Kay] There, you see?

- Oh, I give up.

- You should give up.

- Hey, what's that
supposed to mean?

- Whatever you think
it's supposed to mean.

- Girls, girls.

- Stay out of it, Leslie.

- No, tell me.

What did you mean
by that remark?

- What remark?

I've forgotten already.

- Then I'll remind you.

You were telling me I should--

- Girls, girls, look,

we've come into the city
to have a good time.

Let's not ruin it before
the day has started.

- Shut up, Leslie.

- No, no, Leslie's right.

I must've forgotten
myself for a moment.

- I accept your apology.

- I didn't say anything
about an apology.

- Then I'm still
waiting for one.

- Wait all you'd like, dear.

What time is it, Jane?

-Almost 1:30.

- We'd better be on our way.

We wouldn't want to be
late for the theater.

- Uh oh.

- What do you mean, uh oh?

- I'm afraid there's
been an accident.

- What kind of accident?

- I seem to have
forgotten the tickets.

- What?

- Now, now, girls,
let's not be too hasty.

It's probably somewhere mislaid

at the bottom of your purse.

- I have a confession to make.

- What is it?

- I seem to have
brought the wrong purse.

- You what?

— Why, you little idiot.

- I'm sorry.

- Take a walk, Leslie.

- What?

- I said take a walk.

You no longer amuse me.

- Amuse you?

- You heard what I said.

Now take a walk.

- Well, maybe I could--

- Goodbye, Leslie,

and don't get lost
on the way home.

- She had it coming.

- Now what are we going to do?

Waiter, more Perrier.

And then to the spa.

- Jesus Christ, Lori,

don't we get enough exercise
playing racquetball?

- There's no such thing as too
much exercise, right, Lori?

— Right.

Like I said, a healthy body
promotes a healthy mind.

Yes, sir, like I said,

a healthy body promotes
a healthy mind.

- [Jane] Truer
words never spoken.

- [Lori] Look girls, it's early.

Why don't you two
stop in for a drink?

- [Kay] Oh, well, I think I'll
take advantage of the hour,

make a nice, quiet
dinner for my husband.

- [Lori] Kay, I can't
believe it's you talking.

Whatever's gotten into you?

- [Jane] Yeah, are you
crazy or something?

- [Kay] Well, maybe
just for a minute.

It's too hot to cook anyway.

- [Lori] I knew you'd
see things my way.
