[MARTY, spoken]
Thousands, Jimmy, now eat it!
[JIMMY, spoken]
Yeah, I'm forced to, baby, 'cause I'm starvin'.
[MARTY, spoken]
You got a bigger problem. Sharlene and Joann just walked.
[JIMMY, spoken]
Just walked. Just walked! They can't do that to Jimmy. I need backup!
[MARTY, spoken]
Yеah, you do. And not only for tonight. What about the ten-week tour starting tomorrow?
[JIMMY, spoken]
Marty, you've got about tеn minutes to deliver or else.
[MARTY, spoken]
Jimmy, you've already gone through every girl in the circuit. I warned you to lay off the women you work with
[JIMMY, spoken]
Uh huh.
[MARTY, spoken]
There are plenty of other women out there.
[JIMMY, spoken]
There sure are, baby, but who's time to go out looking for 'em, Marty, huh? I'm always working!
[MARTY, spoken]
That's why Marty always keeps you working.
[JIMMY, spoken]
Damn, baby. Where you going?

[DEENA, spoken]
Oh no! They have the same wigs we have!
[LORRELL, spoken]
We're ruined unless we can find new wigs.
[EFFIE, spoken]
Why do we have to wear wigs in the first place?
[DEENA, spoken]
Because we need a look. I got it! Turn the wigs around!
[LORRELL, spoken]
What?
[DEENA, spoken]
Turn the wigs around!
[LORRELL, spoken]
Oh, Deena, it's so different.
[DEENA, spoken]
It's sophisticated looking.
[EFFIE, spoken]
Front ways or back ways, wigs ain't natural. And what about these dresses? I mean, this does nothin' for my body.
[DEENA, spoken]
Effie, my mama spent three weeks sewing up these dresses. Shoot, they helped us win that contest in Chicago.
[EFFIE, spoken]
Big deal. So we won three albums we already had.
[C.C., spoken]
Hey! I'm going to the pit to give the guys the music.
[DEENA, spoken]
Hey, C.C. Do you really think we're gonna win?
[C.C., spoken]
We're gonna win!
[DEENA, spoken]
We're gonna win!
[EFFIE & LORRELL, spoken]
We're gonna win!
[DEENA, EFFIE & LORRELL, spoken]
We're gonna win!
