- What's up?
- Hello.

Let's go, go, go, go, go!

Hey! Hey!

What the fuck...?

Put those back.
You’re shoplifting.



Did you hear his accent?

"Put those back. You
are shoplifting."

I will call the police.

Tell you what.

I'll give you back one, yeah?

I'm... God, I'm sorry, man.

Um... "Somen."

- Somen.
- Let's get out of here, man.

So stupid! There's
no reason...

Somen, how's my
favorite manager today?

- Very good, sir, thank you.
- Good, good. Glad to hear.

- Revenue is up 15% over last month.
- In no small part thanks to you.

I don't know about that,
sir. Oh, don't be modest.

That idea of yours,
the loyalty card...



Sir, do you have a loyalty card?

Loyalty card?

Ten fill-ups, the 11th is free.

It builds the repeat business.

You have a keen
business mind, Somen.

Thank you, sir.

Listen, I want you to come
over for lunch this weekend.

- Sir?
- Mrs. Singh is making her famous mutton saag.

See you soon.

There was a reason I
invited you over today.

Oh?

Of all my managers,
you're the best.

Thank you, sir.

Hard-working, reliable, clever.

So, is everything
to your liking?

Yes, the mutton saag is divine.

Good, good, good.

Thank you so much for this.

My pleasure.

Which is why I want
to promote you.

Promote me? To
general manager.

I want you to oversee operations
to all of my seven gas stations.

I greatly appreciate your offer.

But I'm afraid I can't accept.
- What?

I've been meaning to
speak with you about this

for some time now, sir.

I have made the
decision to leave.

But what will you do?

How much money have you saved?

As of Monday, $44,000.

$44,000? How is that possible?

Actually, it's $44,155.

I rounded down because
I didn't want to brag,

but you pay me $2.60 an hour.

Multiply that by 70 hours a week,
52 weeks a year, by five years.

That comes to $52,000, of which
I have managed to save 90%.

Ninety?

I have no social life
to speak of, sir.

All I do is sleep and work.

For food, I eat expired
sandwiches from the station.

If you have $44,000,

that's nearly enough to
own your own gas station.

That's true.

So why not just work with
me for a few more years...

Sir, I do not want
a gas station.

What do you mean you
don't want a gas station?

That was my dream
when I came here.

But that was seven years ago.

My goals have changed.

I have changed.

Steve Austin, astronaut.

A man barely alive.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild him.

We have the technology.

We have the capability to make

the world's first bionic man.

Steve Austin will be that man.

Better than he was before.

Better...

stronger, faster.

I'm going to start
my own business.

Not a gas station,
a backgammon club.

Backgammon?

Over three million
Americans play,

yet no club exists in
all of Los Angeles.

Is this some sort of joke?

Now, imagine if there
were an establishment

where people could
gather together to play

in a sophisticated setting.

Velvet couches, cigar bar.

An elegant,
exclusive atmosphere.

You are serious. Quite.

And I have found the
perfect location.

A failing discotheque
in West Los Angeles.

So, what are you going
to do with the place?

It's going to be
a backgammon club.

And I have the
perfect name for it.

"Destiny II."

The "II" implies it's a sequel,

projecting an air of
success onto the place.

See, people are attracted to things
they perceive are successful.

I've read that in a number
of business journals.

♪ Jazz house music playing ♪

I'll be in my office.

Nah, come on, let's go
someplace different.

This is fuckin' dead in here.

I know, but we're here.
Let's just get one drink.

Welcome. Welcome.

Right this way.

Have a seat at the bar.

Bobby, take good care of them.

Bobby, Bobby, Bobby.

What can I get for ya?

Tom Collins.

And for the lady?

I'll have a Pink Squirrel.

- Of course.
- Excellent choices.

Thank you.

♪ House jazz continues ♪

You're lucky you caught
us at an off hour.

Usually it's so busy.

Yeah. Seven o'clock on a Friday?

Paul.

What? I'm just noting the time.

Oyster Perpetual?

Yeah.

You're a Rolex man, huh?

Very much so.

I would put the Oyster
in my top three,

right alongside the Daytona
and the GMT-Master II.

One day I hope to own one.

Yeah.

Paul Snider.

Steve Banerjee.

And this is Dorothy Stratten.

Hi.

Playmate of the Month.

Paul.
- Like Playboy?

Yeah, you're looking
at Miss August.

It's on newsstands next week.

So, does this mean
you know Mr. Hefner?

Oh, yeah. He's a
really wonderful guy.

Yeah, Heffy, he's the greatest
guy, the sweetest guy.

I can't believe I'm talking to
people who know Hugh Hefner.

You must understand he's my
hero, he's my role model.

- Seriously?
- In fact,

he is the inspiration
for this place.

I wanted to create a
sophisticated establishment

of the sort seen in Playboy.

Well...

it's a club.

I think it's really great.

When did you open it?

Four and a half months ago.

One Tom Collins,
one Pink Squirrel.

- Thank you.
- Mm-hm.

Backgammon club, huh?

It's not a bad idea.

The problem is, you gotta
know what you're doing.

You can't just throw up
some drapes, open the doors,

and wait for the crowds
to magically pour in. Hmm?

There's an art to
opening a club.

There's marketing,
there's publicity,

gotta know who to schmooze,

how to get those bold-faced
names in the door.

"Bold-faced names"?

Do you mean celebrities?
- Exactly.

You know, you get yourself
a Jimmy Caan coming in here,

you plant a piece
with Rona Barrett.

"The hottest place
in town is..."

What's this place called?

- Destiny II.
- Destiny... Destiny II?

"The hottest spot in
town is Destiny II,

where anybody who's
anybody is, is..."

You get the idea.

And you know how to do this?

Hmm? Yeah, sure. It's what I do.

I'm a nightclub promoter.

One of the best in
the biz, right, babe?

Yeah, he really is.

Wait!

What?

- Is there a chance...
- A chance?

You would consider
coming onboard?

You mean with the...

My club, Destiny II.

With your knowledge
and your expertise...

Look, no offense, but,

even if I was interested,
and that is a big if,

I doubt you could afford me.

That's true.

I'm not in a position
to offer a salary,

certainly not one suitable
to a man of your stature.

But what if I offered a stake?

A stake?

Of the ownership.

All right, I'll play.

What are we talkin'?

How does 10% sound?

That would sound insulting.

Fifteen?

It would still sound insulting.

Twenty-five percent.

Guy wants to give me a fourth of
his club right here on the street.

Please.

Where are they?
It's been six weeks.

Not one famous person has
set foot in this club.

They'll be here, trust me.

You keep saying that. Gabe
Kaplan, Telly Savalas...

- Scott Baio, Gil Gerard.

Hey, these are busy,

You can't just snap your fingers
and expect a Gabe Kaplan to appear.

Kotter all the way, baby.

Kotter all the way.

This might sound like
a crazy question,

but, uh, you like backgammon?

I told ya, the guy almost
never leaves the mansion.

Oh, battery must have
died or something.

What?

Rolexes don't have batteries.

Let me see it.

- No.

- Show me your watch.
- Get the fuck off.

What the fuck are you doing?
What the fuck is your problem?

- Your watch is fake!
- What?

You are fake.

Excuse me?

- You have deceived me.
- Hey.

Deceived you?

You're not a big-time club
promoter at all, are you?

- Look, man...
- No, you look.

This is not a joke to
me, this is my life.

Every cent I have, I've
put into this club.

- Just calm down.
- I need this!

Hey, so do I!

Look at my girl, man!

Look at her.

You know how many people
are hitting on her?

Fucking directors,
producers, movie stars.

The whole fucking town!

She's gonna leave me, man.
She's gonna fuckin' walk.

You think she's sticking around
if I ain't got something going on?

I need a win, man. I
need a fuckin' win!

Five. Take it or leave it.

- A strip club for women.
- What?

There are a million strip
clubs for men in Los Angeles,

yet not a single one for women.

Yeah, is this some kind of joke?

Not at all.

That's the dumbest
idea I've ever heard.

What's so dumb about it?

Do you like looking
at naked dudes?

- Of course.
- Oh, fuckin' bullshit. Come on.

- The male body is beautiful.
- You got that right, honey.

Hey, shut the fuck up.

No. I mean, not... not like
how we look at girls, you know.

We're, we're dirty
little dogs, we're pervs.

It's different.

I have something
to tell you, Paul.

Something extremely shocking.

Mm-hmm.

But women get horny.

We're every bit as lustful.

We've just had to be
in the closet about it.

But now with the whole
sexual revolution thing,

it's all coming out.

Erica Jong, Deep Throat,

She's right. There’s a
hole in the marketplace.

We'd have something truly
unique all to ourselves.

Of course, you ladies can stay,

You know what?

Fuck it, I got the gist.

Talk about a flaming

Anyway, the point being,
by the time we got hitched,

I'd long moved on from acting.

The last five years, I've
been producing and directing.

TV and film mostly,

theater when I need
to scratch the itch.

And what did you
win the Emmys for?

Unicorn Tales.

- Sorry, what?
- Unicorn Tales.

Oh, "tails" because it's a
thing on the back of a horse,

and also means story.

- That's right, you get it.
- I haven't heard of it.

Big show, NBC.

- NBC?
- Mm-hmm. Cigarette?

No, thank you.

So...

what can I do for you?

Well, I was hoping to
speak with you because...

I asked for dressing
on the side.

I'm so sorry, sir.

Sorry. Continue.

As I was saying, um...

the reason I wanted
to meet with you was

I was hoping to
get your thoughts.

My thoughts?

On the show.

You called it "a
flaming pile of trash."

Well, I wouldn't say that.

That it's trash?

That it's a show.

A show has choreography.

Production values, narrative.

What you have is a... is a...

it's a crass spectacle,

a cheap gimmick

devoid of the slightest
hint of stagecraft

or professionalism.

What would you do?

Oh, to turn it into
something half decent,

an actual show

that maybe could last?

- Yes.
- Well, I'm not fuckin' tellin' you.

People pay big bucks
for my expertise.

If I paid, would you be open?

To what, exactly?

You come on to consult
for a week or two weeks.

Oh, whip your thing into some
semblance of actual entertainment?

Got it.

Oh, that is a hell
of a tall order.

But I do enjoy a challenge.

And 5, 6, 7, 8.

Good. Sexy, keep it sexy.

Sexy in the face, guys.

Yeah!

Very good. All right, back it
up, back it up, back it up. Uh...

What do we need this
asshole for, huh?

Mm-hmm. Really feel that.

And walk and walk

Yes! That's it.

They want it. Make love

Good.

Yes! Keep an eye on my feet.

Oh, he's a major fuckin'
Hollywood director, Steve,

and he just asked Dorothy
to read for his new film.

- Isn't that good?
- No.

It's not fuckin' good,
Steve, it's fuckin' horrible.

- Why is it horrible?
- Aw, jeez.

Do I have to explain every
fuckin' thing to you?

What it means, Steve,

is that he is going to fuck her.

And when he fucks her,

he's going to steal
her away from me.

Fuckin' bitch!
- Where are you getting this from?

Because that's how
this shit works, Steve!

I know how this shit works!

Fuck! After all I've
fuckin' done for her.

She wouldn't even fuckin'
be here if it wasn't for me.

She'd be fuckin' makin'
peanut-butter fuckin' parfaits...

I'm sorry, I've had it.

What? You've had it with what?

You.
- Excuse me?

You are bad energy.

Oh, bad energy.
Go fuck yourself,

Unicorn Tales, bad energy.

I can’t have him around
while we're rehearsing.

Are you gonna listen to this
fuckin' piece of shit, Steve?

Oh, and speaking of
not having you around,

your emceeing services
are no longer required.

- Excuse me?
- You're creepy.

And you're weird,
and you're fired.

Yeah. Yeah, well, you...

you don't get to fire me, so...

Oh, but I do.

Will you set this cocksucker
straight, please, Steve?

Steve?

I've given Nick full authority
in all creative matters.

Are you kidding me?

Are you fucking kidding me?!

Fuck you, Banerjee!

Paul? Paul?

Welcome to Chippendales!

Have fun, girls!

Jeff, we need more
water for the dancers.

Come on, guys, this should
have been done an hour ago.

Bobby.

Think this will hold us?

If anything, we need more rum.

Paul, could you check in back?

- Sure thing, boss.
- Do you have a second?

I'm a little busy, what's up?

Um, this is kind of random,
but I had this idea.

Uh-huh.

I know how much you
admire Hugh Hefner.

- I do.
- Which got me thinking.

What if Chippendales did
like a Playboy Club thing?

Cuffs and collars.

Just like the Bunnies.

It could be a
really classy touch.

I feel ridiculous.

You are a genius.

Ladies and ladies,
are you ready to have

the greatest night
of your lives?

Please welcome your wildest
fantasies come to life,

the men of Chippendales!

To Chippendales!

That was wonderful!

Absolutely wonderful
work, everybody.

Wonderful work!

Thank you so much.
Fantastic work.

Best $3,000 I ever spent.

Glad I could be of service.

Well...

Good luck to you.

Thank you.

This is Paul. And
this is Dorothy.

We're not in right now.
So leave your name...

Number. And time of call.

And we'll get back to you...

as soon as possible.

Paul, it's Steve.

That was some night, huh?

I didn't even see you two leave.

Anyway, I was calling
because I was hoping

you could do me a favor.

On the way in, could you
stop by that upholstery place

and pick up those stools?

I would do it myself, the
place is right by my apartment,

but I actually ended up
spending the night at the club,

and it's not worth
the trip home.

There is hours of cleanup.

Ooh!

Okay, hopefully you get this,
but if not, don't worry.

I'll pick them up tomorrow.

I'll see you both soon.

Good stuff.
