The Playboy Club

The steaming, corrupt,

crime-filled windy city may have been all those things,

but I built a place in the toddlin' town

where everything was perfect.

Where life was magic.

Where the rules were broken and fantasies became realities

for everyone who walked through the doors.

Good evening, Mr. Dalton.

How are you tonight, Kate?

It wasn't the '50s anymore.

Carol-lynne's on upstairs.

Yes, it was a place where anything

could happen to anybody.

Maureen. Maureen?

Oh, hey, Alice.

That is your name, right?

Right. Hey, so I don't mean to be in your business

or anything, but you're going to be in big trouble

if they catch you standing around like this.

Oh. But I just can't help it.

I mean, she's just so beautiful

and perfect up there.

Hey, how come she gets to perform?

Carol-lynne was the very first bunny.

She can do almost anything she wants.

And she wouldn't want you on stage.

How do you know I want to be on stage?

You didn't get those legs just from walking.

Plus your tray's almost empty and it isn't even 10:00.

That means you're selling something people want,

- and it sure as hell ain't cigarettes. - Brenda.

Um... sure.

Ooh!

Saw the evening trib.

Nice work.

Who knew a goy could be such a good lawyer?

She new?

I'm, uh... I'm glad you're having fun, Phyllis.

Oh, shoot. I'm sorry.

Uh, let's just get back to work, please.

Right. Okay. Oh, and, uh...

It's Maureen.

Maureen.

I don't think we've met.

I'm Nick Dalton.

Oh, it's... it's lovely to meet you, Mr. Dalton.

May I offer you a...

Reds, please.

Reds, reds.

Oh, shoot, I'm all out.

Um, I can get more from the back

if you don't mind waiting a minute.

I don't mind.

Okay.

You look great.

I'll look better in two minutes.

The diamonds?

If that's what you want to call them.

Did you win the case?

$50,000 for each of the victims.

Congratulations.

Where do I sign up to be a victim?

You couldn't be a victim if you tried.

Oh, I could be anything for real diamonds.

I got to go back on. Grab table three.

I'm waiting for cigarettes.

Yeah, you and everybody else.

Hello.

Extra dry, extra cold,

rocks glass, no rocks, three olives.

Thanks, Max.

I just wanted to dance, and you pushed me away.

I'm sorry, sir, but I have to get back...

No, you don't.

Yes, I do.

Have you seen the cigarette bunny?

Beautiful, isn't she?

You got a lot of opinions, little girl.

Oh...

No!

Get away from me!

Hey!

Get off her!

I'll go call the police.

Do you have any idea who you just killed?

I mean, he attacked me.

It was self-defense.

Yes.

And he is known to most people

as Clyde hill, a respectable married businessman,

but his real name is Bruno Bianchi

and he's the boss of the outfit.

What?

The mob.

So unless we both want to be dead

within 24 hours, we're not calling anyone.

Clean up your cigarette tray.

Wait here.

I don't need a plate.

You can serve my steak right on that.

And how would you like that cooked?

Pink.

Hey, waitress, there's no

prices on my menu.

Because everything's a buck and a half.

Everything?

If it's on the menu, it's a buck and a half.

If it's not on the menu, it's not for sale.

They're not hookers?

And I'm not a waitress, either.

I'm bunny Janie.

Max, when Janie's done over there,

tell her to switch to cigarette bunny.

I have no idea where that new girl went.

I'll tell her right now.

These guys are pissing me off.

Not now; When she's done.

Any idea what it's like

watching your girlfriend get hit on

by every guy in the club every night?

Yep. That's why I married her

and got her pregnant and ugly.

Come on.

How many times?

You're supposed to use the one in the dressing room.

The lock's broken.

Which isn't the only thing that needs fixing around here.

I picked out the wallpaper for that bathroom, Billy,

long before you were here telling me where to tinkle.

Here's a towel.

And there's shampoo in the shower.

I need you to unzip me.

Thank you.

Billy rosen.

It's Nick. I'm the one who has your car.

It was a bunny emergency.

How bad?

Well, she's very pretty, Billy, and I just couldn't help myself.

Oh, yeah? Let me guess.

My new cigarette bunny.

Maureen.

That many customers complaining?

I'm very sorry.

Don't tell Carol-lynne.

But we tell each other everything.

I'll have your bunny, your buick

and your cab fare back in the morning.

You're so amazing, Janie.

Max, stop talking.

Baby, will you marry me?

What? No.

Oh, Janie.

Mmm. Max, stop!

Sorry, Carol-lynne.

We should get a new lock on that door.

We should get a lot of new things.

Like a new cigarette bunny.

Did you see that new girl just set her tray down

and start dancing like she didn't have a job to do?

Oh, Maureen?

Oh, she's nice. She's new.

- I don't think she... - During my show.

Well, if it makes you feel any better,

she left halfway through her shift.

No, that doesn't make me feel any better.

Since when is it okay to leave half...

When did she leave?

I think around 11:00.

Right when Nick left during my set.

Well, you don't know that they...

Oh, Alice, please stop seeing only the good in everybody.

It's taxing. I'm sorry.

It's so hard to work here

and hold a steady relationship, isn't it?

My husband hates it that I work here,

but I just tell him the money's too good.

I make more money than my father.

Don't give up that ring on your finger for this, Mrs. Beasley.

A girl can't be a bunny forever.

Hey, sweetie.

Hey.

$143.

How long can we keep this going?

Until I slip up.
