It's just sex. You can decide who you wanna love, but not who you wanna screw. Attraction's out of our control. It ain't healthy keeping those feelings locked away inside. It'll be our secret. [runs over Pearl's head with the truck's wheels until she crushes Pearl to a pulp, speeds off] Divine intervention. Praise the fuckin' Lord. Pearl There wasn't anything he wouldn't do for me back then. That's the power of beauty. Wayne We don't need Hollywood. These type of pictures turn regular folks into stars. We're gonna do it all ourselves. Two keys to keepin' a healthy relationship. Never let a good woman out of your sight. Never mention her weight. How do you think I've been surrounded by so many beautiful females my whole life? There's an art to it. Howard [on his shotgun] Hell, this ain't even loaded. Pointing it and waving it around is usually enough to scare them straight. Bobby-Lynne Everybody likes sex. It's a gas. We're just not afraid to admit it. Queer, straight, black, white - it's all disco. Well, you know I'm always game. My American Dream is not unreasonable. I just want a paid-for house with a big ole pool, so I can float around with my knees in the breeze and tan these titties. I was dealt a good hand. People spend a lot of money to look at what God gave me. Be a sin not to take care of 'em. Jackson Take it from me, letting outdated traditions control how you live your life will get you nowhere. Other Sheriff Dentler: Well, by the looks of everythin', I'd say one goddamn fucked up horror picture. Dialogue Wayne: This new home video market is set to explode. Finally, people are gonna get to see what they desire in the privacy of their own homes, free of judgment. We're gonna give that to them before anyone else. Porn ain't only gonna be for perverts no more. Bobby-Lynne: Aw. Toast to the perverts. They've been payin' our bills for years. Wayne: Hear, hear! To the perverts! Jackson: To livin' a life of excess, being young and having fun, till the day we die. RJ: To the power of independent cinema. Maxine: To living life on our own terms. And never accepting what self-righteous naysayers have to say. Wayne: Right on. Maxine: I want the whole world to know my name. Like Lynda Carter or some shit. Wayne: Hey, everyone with a pulse is gonna lust after a piece of Maxine Minx once they see what you can do. You know why? Maxine: Why? Wayne: 'Cause you got that X factor. Maxine: [kisses him] Fuckin'-A-right. Wayne: Now, mosey on over there and grab us some Wonder Bread, Wonder Woman. Bobby-Lynne: One day, we're gonna be too old to fuck. And life's too short, if you ask me. Jackson: Roger that. Bobby-Lynne: The fact of the truth of the matter is: we turn folks on. And that scares 'em. Maxine: And they can't look away neither. Bobby-Lynne: That's right. We're like a foxy car wreck. Lorraine: This wasn't what I had in mind when I agreed to help out on your film. RJ: Gotta start somewhere, Lorraine. Lorraine: RJ, it's smut. RJ: When did you become such a prude? Lorraine: I'm not. I just don't understand why you're doing all this. RJ: Because it is possible to make a good dirty movie. Wayne: You're special. There ain't nobody else out there like you. Now giddyup. Time is money. Everybody is waiting. Maxine: [Wayne exits, Maxine looks into a mirror] You're a fuckin' sex symbol. Wayne: Now, I may not know shit from shinola when it comes to filmmaking, but I know for damn sure people are gonna wanna see what I just saw in there. RJ: Well, that's 'cause I'm not treatin' it like pornography, but as cinema. That's what these other adult films are lackin'. Wayne: Whatever you're doin', you keep doin' it. People's eyes are gonna pop out of their damn skulls when they see this. We're gonna be rich! Feel how hard my cock is! RJ: We've already shot half of it. The story can't just suddenly change midway through. Lorraine: Why? RJ: Because it just isn't done. Lorraine: What about in Psycho? You love that movie. RJ: Well, Psycho is a horror film. And that plot was a MacGuffin to build suspense. And I'm not making that kind of movie. Lorraine: Oh, come on, RJ. Nobody's comin' to see this film for the plot. They're comin' to see tits and ass. And a big dick. Lorraine: I wanna do a scene in the movie. RJ: What? Lorraine: I wanna be in the movie. Wayne: '[about Lorraine]'' The way I see it, you only got one good option here. RJ: What, letting her get balled by some man whore? Wayne: Come on now, Jackson is a professional. You need to listen to me, okay? Because you ain't been 42, and I have been 23. And I'm gonna explain something to you about young women. Now, if she's serious, which I suspect she is, she's gonna do it whether you like it or not. Now, you try to stop her, not only is she gonna do it, she's gonna go in and do it with God knows how many people in God knows how many films, and nobody wants that. Pearl: Tell me I'm yours. That you still want me. Make me feel young again. Howard: What if my heart can't take it? Pearl: It can... Oh, oh, oh. Fuck me, Howard. Fuck me. Oh, oh, oh... Pearl: What about you? You don't think I know who you really are? I saw what you did in the barn. You're a deviant little whore. We're the same. You'll end up just like me. Maxine: I'm nothin' like you. You're a kidnappin', murderin' sex fiend. I'm a fucking star! The whole world is gonna know my name! I will not accept a life I do not deserve! Stop fuckin' starin' at me!
