Yo, Linda! Yo!
I ain't dismissed you. You're on my time.
That's my manager, Raji, with Miss Bangkok.
I told them I wanna quit and he's like, "You quit me, I'm gonna jack you up."
- He talks like that? - He thinks he's black.
His real name is Roger Lowenthal.
He's partners with this guy named Nick Carr. He's this music promoter.
- I know Nicky. - They caught me straight off the bus from Texas.
Said they'd make me this big star, and like a fool I believed them.
Yo, Linda! When you're done turnin' tricks, get your ass back over here.
I ain't done with you yet.
Look, I can't do five more years, not with these guys.
Who's the big guy?
That's Elliot Wilhelm, Raji's bodyguard.
He's got this thing that he can raise one eyebrow, give you that look.
He wants to be in movies.
That's it? He just does the one eyebrow?
As far as I know, he's gay too.
Word is he once threw a guy out of a 30-story building for calling him a fag.
- He must have been mad. - Yo, Linda!
your voice wouldn't sound so flat.
Yeah, that one was for me, so just relax.
You're gonna end up doing 50-cent lap dances like Miss Bangkok.
Chil, wait. You don't know these guys. They're bad guys.
Trust me, Linda. I know 'em a whole lot better than you do.
..ass-popping up and down a pole.
You'll be up at that place going pop, pop, pop. Pop, pop, pop...
- What are you gonna say? - Nothing more than I have to, if that.
Ass-popping. Snap, crackle, pop!
Chili, wait.
Man in a suit. You in town for some kind of convention?
No, but if I was, you'd be the man to see. Am I right?
Why would you say something stupid like that?
The way you're dressed, you're either a pimp or a limo driver.
You got jokes? You some kindofweak-assed comedian?
- Raji, look at me. - I'm looking at you, man.
Oh, you say you're looking at me, but are you really looking at me?
I'm really looking at you.
You got something stupid to say, say it.
So I can be done with you.
Linda's quit. She's out of the Chicks.
She's got five years on her contract.
I just cancelled it.
You walkin' out the door? Who are you supposed to be?
I'm the one setting you straight. I'm Linda's new manager.
Come on, honey.
- Elliot, light his ass up. - Got it.
You're Elliot Wilhelm. You're an actor.
- Yeah. - I'm sorry. Chili Palmer.
I'm a producer. I did the film Get Leo. Do you remember that?
Yeah, it's great to meet you.
I walk into a club and I see a guy like you and I say,
"He's got the look, but does he have the talent? Can he act?"
