The Centerfold Girls

West Park Hospital.

Yeah.

Just a moment.

Jackie, phone call.

It's a man.

Hello?

Where'd you get that big Cadillac?

I never saw you drive that before.

Who is this?

I want to help you.

I told you before, you filthy mouth.

Displaying your body is filth.

You dirty the mind of others.

Do you know what they should do with little girls like you?

They should take you--

Hey. Hey, what's the matter?

Is that freak still bothering you?

Oh, I don't understand why the police can't put a stop

to weirdoes like that.

You don't know if they're harmless or not.

Hey, come on.

Come on.

Can I help you, ma'am?

Fill it up with super, please.

Yes, ma'am.

Excuse me, do you have the time?

Uh...

Yeah, it's 2:30.

Thank you.

Something wrong?

No, not really.

Sure?

Oh, it's just my boyfriend.

I've been waiting here for him for over three hours.

We're supposed to go to Barstow to meet some friends.

Maybe he had car trouble.

Maybe.

If so, you could be here a long time.

Look, I could drop you off a lot closer to Barstow than this.

Wow. That's really nice of you,

but we don't know each other.

Well, if that's all that's stopping you,

my name's Jackie.

I'm on my way up to the mountains to see about a nursing job.

I'm single, live alone, and well, that's about it.

Hey, you got yourself a deal, Jackie.

I'm Linda Williams,

and about all I could tell you about myself is that

I've been on my own since I was 14.

I have absolutely no roots.

I guess I'm what you call a free soul.

Let's go.

Want a cigarette?

Oh, no thanks.

My Baptist parents would turn over in their graves

if they ever saw me drink or smoke.

And nine is twenty.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Woo-hoo.

All right, Linda.

- Goodbye! - That's a good one.

May I help you?

Yes. I'm Jackie Carroll.

I have an appointment to see Dr. Hudson.

Oh yes.

I'm Mrs. Walker.

My husband and I run the camp.

I tried to reach you in Los Angeles before you left.

Dr. Hudson has been called out on an emergency,

and I'm afraid he won't be back until Sunday afternoon.

Oh great.

Would you like me to reschedule the appointment

for some other time?

No, I'll just stay at my aunt's place until he gets back.

It's the Whitney place, about a mile up the road.

If he should get back before Sunday could you let me know?

Certainly.

Okay. Thank you.

Um, I called my friends but there wasn't any answer.

You all set?

No, I have to hang around until Sunday.

Look, my aunt's got a house near here.

We could stay there.

Well, I guess it would be all right.

Okay.

I'll even drive you down to the bus station in the morning.

Hey, I really appreciate this.

Just as long as I get to Barstow by tomorrow fine.

Okay.

Is she the one for the nurse's job?

Yes.

She's staying at the Whitney place until Doc gets back.

So why tell me?

Because the glow in your eyes

said you were going to try and find out anyway, dear husband.

Your family's really got money.

Some.

I mean, you must really be loaded having a place like this.

Hey, my family's got all the money.

Not me.

I work for a living, remember?

You engaged or anything?

No.

There's too much I want to do yet before I get tied down.

Besides, as the male animals say,

variety is the spice of life.

I think I'd give it a try if I found the right guy.

Gin.

Do you want to play one more?

No, not really. I'm kind of beat.

Do you like being a nurse?

Sometimes.

Sometimes not.

I wish I had the guts to move in with some sensational man

and let him pay all the bills.

Oh, I don't think you'd have any trouble

finding a john to do that.

No, I guess not.

I wanted to be a nurse once when I was a little kid.

Of course, I wanted to be a little bit of everything

when I was a kid.

My mother wanted me to be a teacher like her,

but school is such a bore, you know what I mean?

Reading and history. Algebra.

Home Economics, uh.

So I decided to split, to live the way I wanted to.

To go places and do things,

not the same old boring things I used to do back home,

you know?

Besides, how would I ever meet a groovy chick like you?

Linda, come here. Open the door.

- Hey, Linda. - Hey, Linda.

Linda, you can hear me.

Wake up, honey. We're here.

- Linda. - We're here.

Linda, come here. Open the door.

Hey, Linda.

Hey.

Look at this house.

Where's the light? I'm looking at it.

Where's the food?

Who are these people?

Oh.

This is my boyfriend, Tim.

How do you do?

And these are my two friends from Barstow.

Donna.

At your service any time, madam.

And Rita.

Oh. Howdy.

This is Jackie.

- Jackie. - Jackie.

Um, Tim went to Barstow to pick them up first.

That's why he was late in getting me.

They... they got to the gas station right after we left.

They've been traveling all day.

Oh, I hope you don't mind about the food.

No, not at all.

- Good. - Good.

I don't want to sound like a sponge or anything,

but is it all right if they spend the night?

They're really my best friends.

Sure, it's okay.

- Thank you, Jackie. - Thank you, Jackie.

Ow, thank you, Jackie. Thank you, Jackie.

Thank you, Jackie...

- Thank you, Jackie. - Thank you, Jackie.

Thank you, Jackie.

- Thank you, Jackie. - Thank you, Jackie.

Thank you, Jackie.

- Thank you, Jackie. - Thank you, Jackie.

Thank you, Jackie.

- Thank you, Jackie. - Thank you, Jackie.

- Thank you, Jackie. - Thank you, Jackie.

Thank you, Jackie.

- Thank you, Jackie. - Thank you, Jackie.

Thank you, Jackie!

- Thank you, Jackie. - Thank you, Jackie...

Thank you, Jackie.

- Thank you, Jackie. - Thank you, Jackie.

Thank you, Jackie.

- Thank you, Jackie. - Thank you, Jackie.

Thank you, Jackie.

Thank you, Jackie!

What the hell are you doing?

What the hell is this?

Look, I told you you were welcome to spend the night

so why don't you cool it, huh?

Call it a night.

You want us to call a night, mama?

- It's a night. - Ow, that hurts.

You love it.

I don't give a care what you guys do,

just do it quietly.

Yeah, do it quietly.

Thanks.

Why, you're welcome.

Thank you, Jackie!

- Thank you, Jackie. - Thank you, Jackie.
