The girls of the roundhouse have a plan to get even with their dirty corrupt club owner but will it pay off.EXT.STREET-NEW YORK CITY.NIGHT 11PM The vintage cars driving past and the posters of RICHARD
NIXON on the brick walls reveal that we are in the '70s.
The streets are lit up by vibrant colored lighting. The
ROUNDHOUSE a popular strip joint stands proudly on the
street corner.
The roof of the Roundhouse has a nun standing on it firing a
machine gun and lifting her leg into the air with every
shot.
WE CUT TO: INT.ROUNDHOUSE-GREENROOM.NIGHT
CLARABELLE a beautiful young blonde woman is seated on a
fancy looking CHAIR pulling on her sexy fishnet stockings
Her attire is that of a naughty nurse. ROSABELLE another
great looking blonde comes stomping through the door and
slams her tips down onto the make up tables.
ROSABELLE
Goddammit those sons of b*****s!
ROSABELLE a lovely lady of Latin decent and dressed as a cop
approaches her and comforts her with a hand on her shoulder.
VERABELLE
Men are pigs.
ROSABELLE
What! It's not them it's Blue and his
moronic excuse of a security outfit.
CLARABELLE
(Knowingly)
What did they do this time?
ROSABELLE
My tips. They took half. I work for
those tips they are given to me
personally.
VERABELLE
I know how that feels.
Clarabelle uses the MIRROR to zip up her dress and on her
way out she stops in front of Rosabelle. CONTINUED: CLARABELLE
Look I know it sucks but get with it
honey. Your not the only one whose
treated like Blue's c**k around here.
Clarabelle exits through the door. The all MALE CROWD can be
heard on her way out.
HONEYBELLE the not so stereotypical dumb brunette comes
running through the back entrance, panicked and out of
breath.
HONEYBELLE
Oh god oh god! I am so sorry I'm
late. Does he know?
ROSABELLE
No. It's only the first time you've
been late.
Rosabelle begins brushing her hair.
HONEYBELLE
Actually it's my fifth time.
Verabelle exits and Clarabelle returns looking, sweaty.
ROSABELLE
Wow you actually broke a sweat out
there tonight.
Honeybelle shoots Clarabelle a wave.
Rosabelle slowly struts over to Clarabelle and unzips her.
Clarabelle heads over to a screen and as she switches on a
light we can see her silhouette as she begins to change.
Rosabelle puts on some more make up and suddenly Verabelle
comes crashing through the door. BLUE a man of around thirty
five and wearing a two tone colored suit.
Verabelle is thrown into the make up table and she hits it
hard.
BLUE
How many times do I got to tell you.
If you break s**t you pay for it.
VERABELLE
It was an accident Blue.
CONTINUED: BLUE
I see. Just like me throwing your
simpleton a*s into the expensive make
up table. That was an accident too.
Clarabelle and Rosabelle both rush to help Verabelle up.
Blue storms out leaving the girls to pull Verabelle into a
nearby chair. Clarabelle uses a cloth to wipe the blood from
Verabelle's head.
CLARABELLE
What happened out there?
VERABELLE
It was my fault. I wasn't paying
attention to where I was walking and
I knocked over a guy and broke some
expensive glasses.

CLARABELLE (cont'd)
(Keeping Calm)
Come on guys. Give a girl a break. CONTINUED: Clarabelle can see the crazed look in their eyes and she
goes for the door of her car but before she can open it they
grab her.
They beat her and have their way with one at a time. Blue
comes out of the back entrance and sees what is happening.
He lights up a cigarette and watches for a while. Eventually
he runs over there.
BLUE

The men all high tale it. Clarabelle is on the ground.
He helps Clarabelle up.
