Hurry, belle! Come on!
I'll send you half my paycheck every week.
Be careful, won't you?
I mean, you do understand all about life and everything?
I know about boys, mama.
You got to be careful of men.
I thought I was lookin' for a man.
Well, you is.
It's complicated.
There ain't too many good ones out there like your daddy.
What you got to do is...
Oh.
You got to sort it out for yourself.
But there is one thing I can tell you.
Never trust a man who says, "trust me."
Did you hear that?

jellies! You got the jellies?
Get 'em out there.
People waitin' on jellies.
Okay, okay.
Excuse me.
Did I hear you playing the guitar?
Yes, sir, I play a bit,
as long as the chords are g, c, d and a.
G, c, d and a? That's amazing.
Have you ever thought about getting into entertainment?
You mean, show business?
My name is John snyder. My friends call me "red."
Nice to meet you.
Can I ask you a question?
How much money do you make here?
I make almost $30 a week.
Almost $30 a week.
How does $30 a night sound?
Plus, I'll buy you...
A brand new outeit.
What a night! Great crowd.
Let me take a look at you.
What kind of place is this?
It's a variety-type situation.
They're gonna love mockingbird hill.
That's 'cause it's a fabulous tune.
But you know what it needs?
A fabulous stage name to go with it.
Your eyes are like stars.
Your hair is like fire,
like heat, like star heat,
star fire,
star Blaze, your new name.
How do you like it?
I feel like an imposter.
You got something better?
As a matter of fact, I do.
I've got something unique in mind. Tell me.
Blaze starr.
Amazing.
With two r's. Yeah!
Come on, Blaze starr.
I want you to go out there and tell the people a story.
Play it, sister!

hey, babe, take it off.
There's peace and good will 2
you've got to take it off!
I ain't takin' nothing off!
Of course not. Look at me.
It's just dancing.
What about my singing career?
You just had it. You need a new career.
You brought me here to take my clothes off.
No, no. I thought it was a mockingbird hill crowd.
They're animals out there.
- Animals? - Animals!
Animals?
Those are our fighting boys. They're going off to Korea...
To fight the red peril.
I thought it was the yellow peril.
There's perils everywhere!
You ever heard of the 38th parallel?
For some of those boys,
that's the last parallel they'll ever see.
Those boys are about to give their lives for you.
The least you can do for them is give them a little tit.
You're not selfish, are you, Blaze?
If you won't do it for yourself...
Or for $30 a night,
Blaze starr with two r's,
will you do it for America?
Now we're talking.
Off with the shoes.
You're doing fine.
Whoa, whoa!
Go back out there. It's for our men.
God bless you.
What a debut! Come to papa.
I felt such love and warmth and...
Respect.
Let me tell you, tits come and tits go,
but you've got a chance...
To go all the way in this business,
if you don't get caught up...
With the low-class egg-suckers who run this racket.
I don't want to get caught.
You won't if...
If what?
If you and I...
Become partners.
Partners?
Trust me.
I'm gonna go freshen up...
Before we become partners.
You're fresher than a summer Zephyr...
Blowin' cherry blossoms across the chesapeake bay.
You're more than honeysuckle...
I know.
Le toilette.
Thank you.

Hey, get back here!
Forget the cherry blossom shit, bitch!
You'll never work in show business again!
This is not the way America works!

Dear mama, you were right.
It ain't easy to find a man you can wake up happy next to.
There is a lot of young boys, but not a lot of real men.
I'm thinkin" of heading down to New Orleans.
There's a higher class of people down there,
'cause of France and all.
Ah, yeah
we've got the most beautiful showgirls.
Uh-huh, yeah, oh, boy!
You know, marriage is like a 3-ring circus.
You got your engagement ring,
then your wedding ring,
and then your suffer-ring.
Time for some bon temps rouler!
From Baltimore, Maryland,
by way of the city jail,
the one and only miss Blaze starr!
Let's hear it!
Hi, fellas. Glad you could make it.
Hi, there, ralphie.
Hmm, raising some pup tents already?
My fightin' boys are back.
Nice to see a lot of real men here tonight.
Eat your heart out, sweet thing.
How you all doin'?
You want to go flower picking in my hills?
You handsome hunk of love.
Evening, governor.
Looks like a fine night for prowlin' around,
don't it?
Good pickings tonight, governor.
