SCALPEL

Let me in! Need to talk to the boss.

Heard some shots. Had to turn the music up real loud before the clients got spooked. You clear?

It was the fucking Saints again. And yeah, we’re clear. Just open the damn door.

You wanna talk to someone, then fuck off. Now, if you wanna fuck someone…Hehehe, then you’re in the right place.

Yeah?
Need something?
What?

What do you do here?
Sadie works the door. She makes sure only paying customers get in.
Me? I keep the peace. I make sure the customers that do get in don’t get out of line.
Now, it should be the other way around, but she couldn’t handle seeing her boy fuck the clients.

What else can you tell me about this place?
What do I look like, a guide? Fuck off.

Any thoughts?

I’ve killed more men in my sleep than some of these scavs have in their entire life. There was one guy who had me beat, so I killed him too.

Cue Ball doesn’t really believe in violence. But his sister, Eightball, out in D.C.? Now she’s a real piece of work.

You ever notice how the radio sucks?

I can play a mean guitar. I just smash the fucking thing on your head like a drum. Like I said, mean.

Sometimes I’ll pick a fight with a customer. Just find someone whose face I don’t like and rearrange the parts. You know, just to keep sharp.

I didn’t have to work here. Lot of paying gigs for a guy like me. But the pay’s good, and you can’t beat the view.

In my line of work, sometimes you don’t even need a gun. You just give ’em a stare.

Molly’s the bad kind of crazy. Not the kind the clients wanna fuck, that’s for sure.

Do me a favor and tell Sadie you fucked her man. Heh-heh-heh, it’ll be fun.

I couldn’t give two shits about the Saints. Crazy will win you a fight, but it won’t win you a war.

See you later.
Not if I see you first.

I don’t have any more questions.
Good.

Never mind.
Yeah, yeah.

Scene 1 with Bartender Molly

So what’s the word?

Same ol’, same old. Except that over there. That’s new.

Yeah? Well, let’s hope he starts shooting up the place before I get bored.

(female PC) Yeah? Well, let’s hope she starts shooting up the place before I get bored.

Scene 2 with Bartender Molly

Gotta any of that moonshine shit?

Nope. We’re all out. Want me to order up some more?

Nah. I know a guy. I’ll get it off his corpse.

Scene 3 with Bartender Molly

Is it true you and the boss hooked up?

Ew, no. I don’t date co-workers.

Co-workers? Ha, is that what you think this is? A fucking job?

Sure. I work. I get paid. How’s it not a job?

What you do is pour drinks. The girls fucking the Johns? They’re working.

 

Scene – Scalpel with Male Customer

Hey bub. No rough stuff tonight, all right.

Lighten up, man. It was an accident.

I don’t give a shit. Just don’t let it happen again.

Scene – Scalpel with Female Customer

Why don’t you try me instead? What do those Johns got that I ain’t got?

You mean besides a working dick?

You must be thinking of someone else. My shit’s made to chip diamonds.

Scene with Prostitute

How about a little round on the house?

You clear that with the boss?

Fuck the boss. He doesn’t give a shit.

I just might. Unlike you, he actually pays me.

 

Scene with Male Prostitute

I wanna be you in the next life.

Why is that?

You get paid to get off. No better job in the world.

I think you got it backwards. I’m paid to get them off. And that’s not as easy as you think.
