00:10:23 Little Latin boy in drag,
00:10:26 why are you crying?
00:10:29 Cos... It's just cos the two of you
00:10:33 - That's all?
00:10:36 but why are you crying?
00:10:38 Maybe she just found out
00:10:42 Now, little one, what is your name?
00:10:45 It's Chi Chi. Chi Chi Rodriguez.
00:10:49 - What's with the waterworks?
00:10:54 because I never won nothing.
00:10:58 I get it wrong and somebody's
00:11:02 But maybe I'll meet somebody nice
00:11:06 instead of old men
00:11:10 and their... (Grunting)
00:11:13 But, no, I'm a loser.
00:11:16 I hate my life, I hate myself,
00:11:19 Listen, listen. You are a winner.
00:11:24 Well, you are a winner and...
00:11:30 - Don't be looking at me.
00:11:33 Don't be giving me that
00:11:37 Chi Chi, you just sit right here.
00:11:40 I am going upstairs
00:11:43 - We will be right back.
00:11:46 I ain't driving you no more, Miss Daisy.
00:11:49 Noxeema, we must all help others.
00:11:53 - How?
00:11:55 - Say what?
00:11:58 - How are we gonna do that?
00:12:01 Sell our plane tickets
00:12:04 Uh-uh-uh. Not on your young,
00:12:09 That child is Latin. You don't
00:12:14 She might be a Sandinista.
00:12:16 Noxeema Jackson,
00:12:20 and just a little bit saddened by you.
00:12:24 I remember the first time
00:12:28 on a certain young
00:12:31 and how, through styling
00:12:35 I helped her look just a little bit
00:12:39 - Moms Mabley?
00:12:43 would one day share a title with moi?
00:12:46 Now, on those steps,
00:12:50 working that tired Abbe Lane drag
00:12:54 is all alone in this world.
00:12:57 And she just once
00:13:01 to have a moment in the starlight,
00:13:05 to dream of being
00:13:14 - Hello!
00:13:18 (Vida) Now, the China Bowl is the place
00:13:29 What stunning visions! Tell us
00:13:32 Darling, I cannot be held responsible
00:13:36 - I wish I was as beautiful as you.
00:13:39 Good luck. Come on, honey.
00:13:46 Thank you.
00:13:51 - They really like us.
00:13:54 Delighted to meet us!
00:13:56 (Man) Vida! Hi.
00:14:00 Excuse me. Oh, Vida, Vida!
00:14:05 Darling, enchanté.
00:14:08 Oh, you spoke French. How bi.
00:14:11 Look at you, my little piñata.
00:14:14 The only man of money matters,
00:14:19 - ¡Ay, tan chulo! El gusto es mío.
00:14:23 No, papito, el gusto es mío.
00:14:25 - See that?
00:14:27 Si te ajusto las nalgas...
00:14:29 You remember
00:14:32 - His name is my name, too.
00:14:36 Look at you!
00:14:39 - Congratulations on your victoire.
00:14:43 Now, we must talk.
00:14:45 - Crise? Oh, jamais.
00:14:50 to take our young protégé,
00:14:55 - How Three Sisters. How Chekhov.
00:14:57 - What part do I play?
00:15:00 - To have or to dump?
00:15:06 - One thousand.
00:15:09 - Then three round trips to LA.
00:15:12 - Cheapest.
00:15:15 Sorry, darling. Forgive me.
00:15:17 - You've got her number.
00:15:20 I do not do the bus. You have me
00:15:25 Lxnay on the Hound, then.
00:15:29 - Oh, yes! Does it have a club car?
00:15:33 Let's see. Three round-trip tickets,
00:15:38 Tell me, does it have a club car?
00:15:40 1,500?
00:15:43 That is totally out of our league.
00:15:46 On account of your need
00:15:49 today you're the lucky winner of...
00:15:52 - Can we pay in trade?
00:15:56 "Crazy Elijah -
00:16:00 Drop my name,
00:16:03 - Problem solved. A lifesaver.
00:16:08 - Cherry Lifesaver.
00:16:10 Are we discussing driving
00:16:14 Don't start with me. We will go on.
00:16:18 (Noxeema) This America does not
00:16:24 No one say anything frivolous
00:16:27 I am having a significant experience.
00:16:29 Whoopee(!)
00:16:31 Miss Julie Newmar has been watching
00:16:37 And look at her, vintage Miss Julie.
00:16:40 She is the perfect,
00:16:44 (Vida) Describe her
00:16:48 Miss Julie, you are statuesque
00:16:54 - Read it, please.
00:16:56 "thanks for everything,
00:16:59 - Who was Wong Foo?
00:17:03 I'm hungry.
00:17:05 We must take this message across
00:17:10 (Chi Chi) Let's just relax.
00:17:13 (Noxeema) I was back in the club car,
00:17:17 ¡Ay, nenita! Look! Look at this!
00:17:22 (Noxeema) Golly, golly, golly!
00:17:24 - The seats are like butter.
00:17:28 A car? Mary Alice Louise, no.
00:17:32 I used to know a lawyer guy
00:17:35 and I said then and there
00:17:39 - Can we have this?
00:17:42 I feel like Miss Jayne Mansfield
00:17:45 Ooh! Not a good auto reference.
00:17:47 Please, it's a wreck. Ladies.
00:17:50 Be careful with the...
00:17:56 - It's the look!
00:18:00 Internal combustion,
00:18:03 Ladies, please, for your own safety,
00:18:09 It comes down to
00:18:12 Style...
00:18:13 or substance?
00:19:01 Let me ask you something.
00:19:05 - So the next city is...
00:19:10 - Bala Cynwyd. It's Welsh.
00:19:14 - How do you know that?
00:19:18 Believe it or not, it's my hometown.
00:19:20 - Get out!
00:19:24 - I wanna see where she was birthed!
00:19:29 There's got to be
00:19:55 (Vida) Welcome to Bala Cynwyd.
00:20:00 Here, they made me stop being Esther
00:20:06 thus marring
00:20:09 (Chi Chi) How come you never told us
00:20:12 - I'm not rich, my parents are.
00:20:17 There will be a barbecue
00:20:20 We were so poor my parents
00:20:24 Why did you give this up?
00:20:26 - Vida gave all this up to be Vida.
00:20:30 Next time you give something like
00:20:33 There. There.
00:20:35 ¡Ay, mama! Look!
00:20:46 Fabulous. Simply fabulous.
00:21:05 Maps are cheating.
00:21:07 Don't do that! What are you doing?
00:21:10 Go back!
00:21:13 Oh, Jesus.
00:21:26 How are we gonna know
00:21:28 - Instincts, my dear.
00:21:32 To become a drag queen,
00:21:36 What do you mean, "be a drag queen"?
00:21:40 Oh, child, no. You are, simply put,
00:21:45 When a straight man puts on a dress
00:21:48 he is a transvestite.
00:21:50 When a man is a woman
00:21:53 and has the little operation,
00:21:56 - I know that.
00:21:59 has way too much fashion sense
00:22:04 Thank you.
00:22:06 And when a tired Latin boy puts on
00:22:11 (Noxeema and Vida giggling)
00:22:14 - I'm just a boy in a dress?
00:22:18 (Chi Chi) OK, OK, that's it.
00:22:24 Maybe there is a place for somebody
00:22:30 She running across the border.
00:22:32 You have huge potential
00:22:35 What do you care?
00:22:37 Yes, you will start off
00:22:41 But when we are done
00:22:43 Auntie Vida and Auntie Noxee
00:22:45 will give you the outrageous outlook
00:22:50 that it will take to make you
00:22:55 So now, I want you to turn
00:22:59 on those Robert Clergerie knockoffs
00:23:05 Maybe I'm not just a boy in a dress.
00:23:12 All right. You are a drag princess.
00:23:17 I could live with that.
00:23:19 P to the R to the IN
00:23:24 - Are you all right?
00:23:28 That's fine
00:23:31 before you're a full-fledged queen.
00:23:34 Can I stay a princess?
00:23:37 Does everything have to be a joke?
00:23:41 There are steps to becoming a queen.
00:23:44 I'm sorry. How many?
00:23:49 Four. There are four steps
00:23:54 Tell me, what are they?
00:23:56 Patience, ma chérie.
00:24:00 Miss Noxeema,
00:24:04 (Noxeema) Just pay attention. Auntie
00:24:09 God grant me the serenity
00:24:12 the courage to change with the fashions
00:24:16 (Noxeema)
00:24:19 That was step number one
00:24:23 (Chi Chi) Step one already!
00:24:25 (Noxeema) Let good thoughts
00:24:47 (Chi Chi) I'm so tired,
00:24:50 We all tired, honey.
00:24:53 We're gonna have to stop sometime.
00:24:56 I know. I've just
00:24:59 Stop torturing us.
00:25:05 OK.
00:25:17 Budget Hosts are really good,
00:25:20 You can keep the mints
00:25:24 It's a Budget Host.
00:25:26 I don't know.
00:25:29 - Why don't we sleep in the car?
00:25:33 I've got to sleep in a real bed.
00:25:35 People are gonna be cruel, maybe
00:25:40 Let's throw you two a pity party.
00:25:44 - What is she doing?
00:25:47 - She'll get herself killed.
00:25:50 Gonna be second-rate your whole life.
00:25:53 Please get in this car.
00:25:55 I'm not sleeping with
00:25:58 Chi Chi, please!
00:26:00 - I need some sleep tonight, OK?
00:26:03 - Take a picture, it'll last longer.
00:26:06 Why do you always do this to me?
00:26:09 - Ridiculous. A bunch of wet rags.
00:26:12 We're staying in this no-tell motel
00:26:16 - I should have met you outside.
00:26:21 We came in for a little sanctuary.
00:26:23 - Welcome.
00:26:27 - There's wine and cheese.
00:26:31 You'll meet many
00:26:34 (All) Friends?
00:26:36 Get with the programme. No one is
00:26:40 Is there a drag ball going on?
00:26:42 Basketball?
00:26:45 (Chi Chi) I'll be centre,
00:26:50 Come on, over here!
00:26:52 - I'm open.
00:27:00 (Squeals) Yeah!
00:27:10 Miss Chi Chi, I must commend you
00:27:13 on your entrance
00:27:15 Oooh! Absolutely.
00:27:20 Halfway towards
00:27:24 Step two to becoming a queen -
00:27:27 - Toast to Miss Chi Chi.
00:27:41 (Whistling)
00:28:24 "Lost in the hot embrace
00:28:29 "Laritza surrendered
00:28:33 (Vida) Oh!
00:28:34 "...melting with every touch
00:28:39 Oh, stop. My nerves.
00:28:42 (Chi Chi) Where the freak are we?
00:28:44 (Noxeema) The last person I saw
00:28:46 didn't have but two teeth in
00:28:55 (Siren)
00:28:57 - Oh, what in gay hell?
00:29:00 - This could prove problematic.
00:29:03 The first name
00:29:06 Eugene?
00:29:08 (Vida) Yes.
00:29:12 Eugene?!
00:29:38 - Can I see your licence?
00:29:43 You got a tail light out.
00:29:46 Oh! A tail light out. That is
00:29:50 - What have we got here?
00:29:52 Hi.
00:29:53 Erm... I was wondering
00:29:56 We are three young
00:29:59 - Career girls?
00:30:02 We are so lost you cannot believe.
00:30:05 - Where do you think we are?
00:30:09 West Virginia?
00:30:11 You're a long way
00:30:14 Could you possibly help us find
00:30:20 We don't go for that
00:30:23 white girls riding around
00:30:27 - Talk to him, you speak honky.
00:30:30 - That's Dollard.
00:30:32 - It's Dollard.
00:30:37 It's a misprint!
00:30:42 As I was saying,
00:30:46 - You're pretty.
00:30:51 Step out of the vehicle.
00:30:53 - Don't do it.
00:30:56 Get out of the car.
00:31:00 Christ, you're tall.
00:31:02 - Is this really necessary?
00:31:08 Come with me to my car. Come on.
00:31:12 You stay in the vehicle.
00:31:14 Officer, if I could just explain.
00:31:20 - Don't worry about your licence.
00:31:24 I think maybe he's prejudiced.
00:31:28 I bet you were the brightest
00:31:33 What are you doing?
00:31:35 - Give me a kiss.
00:31:38 I know what you want. You know what
00:31:42 - Careers?
00:31:45 - No, please don't do this.
00:31:48 Please, no! Please. No.
00:31:51 When a lady says no, she means...
00:31:55 Get your hand off my dick, buddy!
00:32:02 Sheriff Dullard?
00:32:05 Sh-Sheriff Dullard?
00:32:11 Noxee. Oh, no. Noxee!
00:32:14 - Don't go out there.
00:32:18 (Vida) I think he's dead.
00:32:22 - I killed him.
00:32:24 - Are you sure?
00:32:26 - How do you know he's dead?
00:32:29 - He had his hand up my dress...
00:32:34 He was trying to have
00:32:38 - How do you know he's dead?
00:32:43 - Don't get an attitude.
00:32:46 I knew this accountant
00:32:49 - Be careful, Chi Chi.
00:32:55 Mamis, don't quote me
00:32:59 Oh, my God. A dead white policeman?
00:33:04 - Should we blow?
00:33:08 - Let's go.
00:33:12 Look, Miss Necrophilia,
00:33:16 (Noxeema) I can't believe this.
00:33:20 then I end up being part of...
00:33:23 (Voices fade)
00:34:14 (Chi Chi) What are we gonna do now?
00:34:31 Lovely night. Look at those stars.
00:34:36 (Noxeema) Come on.
00:34:38 (Chi Chi) Use your muscles.
00:34:47 Oh, no, it isn't.
00:34:49 Please...
00:34:52 Now, we're stuck here forever.
00:34:55 I could be in a comfortable,
00:34:59 on a transcontinental airline,
00:35:02 enjoying my individual package
00:35:06 if it wasn't for what? What?
00:35:08 The little Hispanic rent-a-tart.
00:35:11 I didn't ask to come on this trip,
00:35:15 Did I ask you to be making me over
00:35:19 No, I don't think so.
00:35:21 And do I want to go to jail
00:35:25 The next town,
00:35:28 and I'm riding him all the way to
00:35:33 because this trip sucks, it sucks.
00:35:36 After all we've done to include you,
00:35:40 Like that.
00:35:42 All right.
00:35:44 Since you have learned
00:35:47 I am hereby stripping you
00:35:52 - Ooh, that's voodoo. That's cold.
00:35:56 When I think Noxee and I decided
00:36:00 - and bring her along with us...
00:36:05 No, no! Noxee didn't decide anything.
00:36:10 What about the two of you
00:36:14 at the hands of this possibly dead
00:36:19 and you stayed stuck
00:36:26 O dear and oft-thanked Wong Foo,
00:36:29 it's not that I'm asking for help
00:36:33 If somebody gave me back my
00:36:38 How can you hitchhike
00:36:41 You don't know me very well.
00:36:45 I got more legs
00:36:51 She'll get kidnapped
00:36:54 and we will have to rescue her.
00:36:56 Why she always gotta have
00:37:20 You need a ride?
00:37:22 Yeah! Our car died over there
00:37:24 and I just need to go
00:37:28 Hop in.
00:37:46 Get inside.
00:37:51 (Man) That's Snydersville.
00:37:54 Thank you, Wong Foo.
00:38:01 - Hi.
00:38:03 Thank you.
00:38:54 Well, ladies,
00:38:58 Thank you.
00:39:01 - Virgil! Carol Ann!
00:39:10 Virgil?
00:39:12 Carol Ann?
00:39:17 And you thought
00:39:21 - Bobby Ray, is that you?
00:39:28 - Virgil. It's Bobby Ray. You in?
00:39:32 He's in.
00:39:34 Tell him we got a big Cadillac
00:39:38 He's got a big Cadillac broke down.
00:39:40 - So?
00:39:54 OK, well, this is it.
00:39:56 Here you got your bathroom,
00:40:00 If you want anything, holler.
00:40:03 You've got an overhead light here.
00:40:06 - Go get it.
00:40:10 You girls all did want to be
00:40:14 Do you, by chance, have a room
00:40:19 This is the presidential suite.
00:40:22 Must have been
00:40:26 You seem a little tired
00:40:29 Your car should be ready tomorrow.
00:40:33 - Excuse me.
00:40:38 You know what I think?
00:40:40 The last black person
00:40:43 "'The fates must despise me

00:44:11 Oh. Oh...
00:44:13 There's nothing interesting here
00:44:18 But we'll try to be accommodating.
00:44:23 Well, er, thank you.
00:44:28 Pardon me.
00:44:29 But let's just all suck it up
00:44:35 Now, ready?
00:45:33 - That's him.
00:45:40 - This guy's living.
00:45:43 - Sheriff Dullard?
00:45:47 - Your badge says Dullard.
00:45:50 - Sheriff, what happened here?
00:45:57 - (Woman) Hello, Loretta.
00:46:00 Alcoholic. Low self-esteem.
00:46:06 She took to the bottle
00:46:10 Over there. Her and her husband
00:46:14 Another mess is the youngest
00:46:20 Poor thing, he's got a sad little...
00:46:23 It'd bring a tear to your eye.
00:46:27 You can say anything to her.
00:46:30 - She can't hear you?
00:46:32 Your stockings are falling down!
00:46:35 There's no medical reason. Ever since
00:46:41 and he run off with that lady film -
00:46:45 Oh! Now, over there is Jimmy Joe,
00:46:51 He is the nicest coloured man
00:46:56 Robert Mitchum?
00:47:00 Yoo-hoo!
00:47:04 Hello! Excuse me!
00:47:07 You forgot your picture!
00:47:09 I picked it up because
00:47:13 Oh, no, girlfriend...
00:47:18 Oh, girl. I'm coming.
00:47:23 I'm just trying to give you back...
00:47:25 Ooh! Ow!
00:47:27 I don't find this funny any more.
00:47:29 Sheriff Dollard,
00:47:33 regarding the assault
00:47:35 and we should ask a few questions
00:47:40 First off,
00:47:43 are we correct in summarising, if
00:47:49 you got beat up by a girl?
00:47:56 They were not girls.
00:47:59 They were boys, three of them,
00:48:04 - May we see Exhibit A?
00:48:09 All right!
00:48:10 They were dressed up like girls
00:48:15 You sons of bitches.
00:48:19 I was attacked by perverts!
00:48:23 - Mrs Dollard...
00:48:27 - Mrs Dollard.
00:48:31 I'm gonna bring back three corpses.
00:48:34 And when you look up their dresses
00:48:36 if you don't find something
00:48:40 - I don't know what.
00:49:06 I was a Fresh-Air Fund kid.
00:49:08 They used to take us troubled kids
00:49:18 I didn't know
00:49:23 I would have dressed for it.
00:49:34 I guess it's a poker party, you got
00:49:39 Looksies, no feelsies.
00:49:46 Anybody read any good books lately?
00:49:50 (Horn honks)
00:49:57 Come on!
00:50:04 That's how you pick up a lady.
00:50:13 Carol Ann, darling,
00:50:16 We've gone through the first 14
00:50:20 - Are you crying?
00:50:25 TVW - the very worst.
00:50:29 Put these on
00:50:32 - No, don't.
00:50:35 Nothing.
00:50:37 You are going to have a shiner,
00:50:40 These boxes
00:50:44 Anyway,
00:50:50 - Oh, oh! May I?
00:50:53 Just a little spice.
00:50:55 - A little paprika...
00:51:00 - We don't use spices here.
00:51:03 - Virgil does not like it.
00:51:06 Virgil does like his way,
00:51:11 You're very observant.
00:51:14 As a matter of fact...
00:51:17 I can't help but observe right now
00:51:21 that there are
00:51:27 I think that maybe you'd better
00:51:33 Surely.
00:51:39 And the box in the closet?
00:51:44 I used to tell people that when
00:51:48 it was just because
00:51:53 If you need more towels,
00:51:55 you'll find them in the closet
00:52:13 Hello.
00:52:15 I brought your picture back.
00:52:17 You dropped it earlier and...
00:52:19 Thank you. You're welcome.
00:52:26 Wow. Miss Thing got
00:52:32 Mind if I sit?
00:52:39 That little run you took me on
00:52:44 Not that I'm not in shape
00:52:56 Those boys didn't hurt you,
00:52:59 Just a little bit, Bobby.
00:53:01 Nothing time won't heal. Thank you.
00:53:05 Look at your eyes. They as blue
00:53:09 That's Bobby Ray.
00:53:12 I'm sorry. Is that your girlfriend?
00:53:15 No, I don't got one of those.
00:53:19 Bobby Ray but you know that.
00:53:26 Sorry. They have a mind of their own,
00:53:32 My God, that was so brave
00:53:36 Aw...
00:53:37 You were just like a regular
00:53:41 - Stop it.
00:53:45 Bobby! Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
00:53:54 That's so romantical.
00:53:58 God. I don't have the words.
00:54:04 Don't cry, Miss Chi Chi.
00:54:09 Miss Chi Chi, if you were my girl,
00:54:14 except maybe from happiness.
00:54:23 You said a mouthful.
00:54:35 - Let's go.
00:54:51 Don't think that I can't see you,
00:54:57 So, you are Virgil and Carol Ann's
00:55:01 Yeah. How did you know?
00:55:04 I'm the eldest in my family, too.
00:55:06 Wow.
00:55:08 I picked these for your mom.
00:55:12 They only grow in darkness and dank
00:55:15 but sweetness, how they blossom.
00:55:19 - You know a lot.
00:55:23 I guess it's on account
00:55:26 Bobby Ray told me
00:55:30 - He did?
00:55:33 You're a career girl.
00:55:36 Oh! Yes. Yes.
00:55:39 I could never be like that.
00:55:41 Oh, no. You can be anything you want.
00:55:44 You just imagine
00:55:47 - and you make them happen.
00:55:51 Well, what if what I want to imagine
00:55:56 You might want to set your sights
00:56:00 Just to start off. Then I'll work
00:56:05 (Noxeema) Miss Vida thinks
00:56:08 I'm not Martin Luther King.
00:56:12 I'm gonna tell you what it is
00:56:17 being as you're not a big talker
00:56:20 My plan is that, while in Hollywood,
00:56:23 I will be approached by an eminent
00:56:27 to star in the lush film version
00:56:30 of the life
00:56:36 Oh, yes. That noble blacktress
00:56:40 and whose career was crushed
00:56:44 Homegirl ended up dying penniless.
00:56:47 I can remember
00:56:50 from Serenade Sun Valley
00:56:54 Gorgeous performance.
00:56:56 After that was Hit Parade Of '43,
00:57:00 No, no, no - Drums Of The Congo,
00:57:04 Then between that and Carmen Jones
00:57:06 she did something... Road.
00:57:08 - Bright Road.
00:57:10 Carmen Jones
00:57:13 and her co-star in Carmen Jones
00:57:17 whose birthday I think should be
00:57:24 Did you say something?
00:57:29 Carmen Jones,
00:57:32 then Decks Ran Red,
00:57:37 Oh, spectacular.
00:57:41 - Tamango.
00:57:46 Malaga.
00:57:49 Malaga.
00:57:51 Honey, when did you
00:57:54 Wanna try Lena Horne?
00:57:58 Go, girl.

00:58:02 (Both) Panama Hattie!
00:58:06 That's wonderful.
00:58:10 You're not gonna start
00:58:13 and making the blind see, are you?
00:58:25 You put spices in here.
00:58:28 Some fell in. I scooped them out.
00:58:33 You do this to make me mad.
00:58:38 - I scooped them out.
00:58:41 - I'm not.
00:58:53 Take them out.
00:59:09 - Jimmy Jay?
00:59:10 - Joe Jay.
00:59:12 Can we have one ladies' cocktail...
00:59:15 - Miss Clara!
00:59:16 - Hey, girl.
00:59:20 - Hi. I'm Noxeema.
00:59:23 - Noxeema Jackson.
00:59:26 Uh-huh. Jesse's daughter.
00:59:29 So, Beatrice,
00:59:31 We are working on decorations
00:59:35 - Strawberry Social?
00:59:38 We're doing it tomorrow.
00:59:41 we take them into the centre of town,
00:59:47 Then we go home.
00:59:51 Oh, lovely! Une fête champêtre.
00:59:54 - May I?
00:59:56 Is there music and dancing and...?
00:59:59 We used to have a hollering contest
01:00:04 We give out ribbons
01:00:08 - This party craves a theme.
01:00:10 What do strawberries say
01:00:14 Well, erm...
01:00:17 Strawberries are red.
01:00:20 Good. That's a start.
01:00:23 - Wild strawberries.
01:00:28 - Red and wild. That's your theme.
01:00:31 Red and wild is our theme.
01:00:37 - A day with the girls.
01:00:41 Somebody has to drive me
01:00:45 A day with the girls,
01:00:51 Merna, what's a day
01:00:53 Katina,
01:00:57 and then you get your hair done,
01:00:59 then you pick out a new outfit
01:01:01 and then you go sit
01:01:04 I've never heard
01:01:07 I'm Merna. I run the beauty parlour.
01:01:10 Beauty parlour?
01:01:17 Here, here it is!
01:01:21 Oh!
01:02:31 (Boy) Here, kitty, kitty, kitty.
01:02:34 Man! Look at that!
01:02:36 It's like living
01:02:40 I think we should
01:02:43 Oh, no, no, no.
01:02:46 What's all this noise?
01:02:49 Oh, baby.
01:02:53 I know what you need.
01:02:55 I hardly think you're the man
01:02:58 - Oh, no?
01:03:06 Thank you.
01:03:08 I think you should apologise to me.
01:03:14 And I also think you should
01:03:17 I ain't apologising to no ladies.
01:03:21 No way.
01:03:22 Just as I expected.
01:03:32 Walk.
01:03:35 What can I say?
01:03:39 What did you say your name was?
01:03:43 - Tommy.
01:03:45 Well, Tommy, this is Miss Vida
01:03:49 and this is Miss Katina
01:03:52 Miss Loretta and of course
01:03:56 Now, Tommy, when you encounter
01:04:00 the correct way to greet them
01:04:03 "Good afternoon, ladies."
01:04:09 Good afternoon, ladies.
01:04:11 Unless it's the evening
01:04:14 Good evening, ladies.
01:04:17 Go home, take a bath, comb your hair
01:04:20 and please put on a clean shirt
01:04:23 It's an affront
01:04:30 Miss Clara.
01:04:38 You just got to know
01:04:42 And a four and a five
01:04:45 and a six
01:04:47 and a seven and a eight.

01:05:56 and we were gonna g-give it
01:06:00 Good-Good-Good...
01:06:01 - Can you believe? I can't believe!
01:06:05 Look at this. Look, look.
01:06:09 Oh, Miss Clara,
01:06:12 Ooh! Sorry.
01:06:14 Goodwill.

01:07:24 Check yourself, Loretta,

01:09:25 Now slap a dollar surcharge
01:09:30 Thank you, my little Miss Vida.
01:09:33 I've got a secret romance.
01:09:36 - To say the least.
01:09:40 Oh, shut up. For real?
01:09:42 And this secret romance
01:09:46 Miss Vida!
01:09:47 Mine, too. What a coinky-dinky.
01:09:51 Mine, too.
01:09:54 Let me tell you,
01:09:58 - Let's go.
01:10:01 Bobby Lee, listen. The way
01:10:09 Imagine.
01:10:35 Oh, Carol Ann, what on earth...?
01:10:38 I'm just so clumsy. I mean...
01:10:42 Virgil yelled at me.
01:10:45 And, well, I just spilled the stew.
01:10:49 Hon, do you, like,
01:10:56 (Laughter and quiet chatter)
01:11:05 (Noxeema) Oooh! Guess what I see.
01:11:08 - I spy with my little eye.
01:11:11 Somebody's coming courting.
01:11:14 Miss Vida, I just kept thinking
01:11:17 I imagined just like you said.
01:11:19 Is that who you have
01:11:22 - Yeah.
01:11:25 (Chi Chi) No, mamita, please!
01:11:30 - Evening, ladies.
01:11:34 I come to ask somebody out
01:11:37 - Well, I declare.
01:11:40 - I declare.
01:11:44 Well, er, it's tomorrow afternoon,
01:11:49 (Clears throat)
01:11:52 - Bobby Lee?
01:11:56 Could you do me a favour
01:12:00 I need to talk to
01:12:08 Bobby Lee, mamita,
01:12:11 - Bobby Lee!
01:12:14 (Vida) Bobby Lee.
01:12:19 - Er, Miss Chi Chi...
01:12:23 - Er...
01:12:34 It's absolutely
01:12:38 You're not my mamas
01:12:41 Darling, you most certainly will not
01:12:45 Why not? We got a lot in common.
01:12:47 For starters, the same business
01:12:51 Poinky-poinky-poink-poink!
01:12:53 If he gets a whiff
01:12:55 It's the "why I'm always right
01:12:58 sung by
01:13:01 What do you know about relationships?
01:13:04 - I mean, who loves you, baby?
01:13:07 Nobody, that's who.
01:13:12 Oh, oh! I know what this is about.
01:13:16 because I'm going out with a cute boy
01:13:21 You are deceiving that child. That boy
01:13:25 and you know that Miss Bobby Lee
01:13:29 So what if she is?
01:13:31 Maybe I want something?
01:13:34 Miss Girl
01:13:37 - I will not allow you to play games.
01:13:42 There are human rules
01:13:46 I'm so sick of
01:13:49 telling a black lady and a Latin lady
01:13:54 You can laugh but I hope you pack
01:13:59 You're staying? Well, Miss Jennifer
01:14:03 Don't forget to write.
01:14:05 She truly does have
01:14:07 Don't go there, Vida.
01:14:09 She's an oppressive gringa
01:14:12 - All right, y'all.
01:14:15 - Don't go there.
01:14:19 fossil-face, cracker witch.
01:14:21 Listen to me, you little
01:14:24 - She went there.
01:14:27 You're the selfish one,
01:14:30 bossing people's lives around
01:14:33 Mrs Ann Landers pain in my culo.
01:14:36 - How dare you think that...
01:14:38 What is that noise?
01:14:40 You want to know? That's you
01:14:45 Shut up, Chi Chi!
01:14:47 (Chi Chi) When I look at you,
01:14:51 - Virgil's beating up Carol Ann.
01:14:55 Well, we have to help her.
01:14:58 No, no. Vida,
01:15:01 and then there are times
01:15:04 you ends up being killed,
01:15:09 She trusts me and I trust her.
01:15:11 There's a fine line
01:15:15 and there's people you don't trust
01:15:19 I thought you had learned
01:15:22 You need to mind your own business.
01:15:25 What is going on upstairs
01:15:29 You deal with what's going on
01:15:31 Mami, save it.
01:15:34 You go ahead, girl.
01:15:38 You're not a queen
01:15:41 you're a queen because
01:15:45 so you had to put on a dress.
01:15:49 - What did you say?
01:15:52 I've had quite enough...
01:15:57 (Carol Ann and Virgil arguing)
01:16:04 (Virgil) What the hell?

01:16:09 Carol Ann, I'm sorry
01:16:12 Noxee, could you take care
01:16:16 Virgil and I
01:16:21 So, I gather you like hitting ladies.
01:16:23 Some ladies need to get hit.
01:16:27 Then, conversely,
01:16:36 Oh, God.
01:16:40 Carol Ann, there's something
01:16:44 Well...
01:16:46 Vida works out. Vida works out.
01:16:50 A lot.
01:17:11 All right, move ahead.
01:17:20 All right, go ahead.
01:17:27 Move on.
01:17:33 Oh, man, sometimes I think we should
01:17:37 (Vida) Well, not all of us...
01:17:41 We just need to get rid of
01:17:43 (Noxeema)
01:17:46 Well, maybe Mr Rogers.
01:17:51 - Well, Mel Gibson. He has a cute can.
01:17:56 Yeah. He can stay but
01:18:10 Psst!
01:18:16 Shh!
01:18:26 My goodness. You're always on time.
01:18:32 I guess you're never gonna
01:18:35 How could I disappoint you? I'm your
01:18:40 Of course I remember. My knight
01:18:46 Oh, God, it's so beautiful
01:18:50 Yeah.
01:18:52 My whole life
01:18:55 who will understand
01:18:58 and someone who
01:19:01 and then you showed up
01:19:06 You make me feel like
01:19:09 I don't have to do that.
01:19:13 - Sorry, no.
01:19:16 - Please.
01:19:20 - Shut up.
01:19:22 Stop.
01:19:25 Oh, don't stop.
01:19:27 And there's something about
01:19:32 Like no-nonsense. Like...
01:19:35 You'd never lie to me,
01:19:39 I really respect that. I do.
01:19:43 What is it?
01:19:45 What did I say?
01:19:47 I was...
01:19:49 If you really love someone,
01:19:52 you could keep
01:19:58 - No.
01:20:01 I really feel that if you love somebody
01:20:05 then you could never
01:20:10 You couldn't even sit on
01:20:14 - No.
01:20:16 No matter how big or how small.
01:20:23 Oh...
01:20:24 (Carol Ann) We're saving Mel Gibson.
01:20:30 (Carol Ann) Right. Mr Rogers,
01:20:34 - And...
01:20:38 Yeah, you mustn't forget
01:20:43 Bobby Lee, I've been thinking about
01:20:47 and I don't want Bobby Ray
01:20:52 So go ahead. You can have him.
01:20:54 Just take him. He's yours, baby.
01:20:58 - Good for you.
01:21:01 - What?
01:21:05 putting someone else's needs
01:21:10 It was step three.
01:21:13 Absolutely step three.
01:21:19 - Really utterly fabulous. Sit here.
01:21:25 Chi Chi...
01:21:29 I am so very sorry that I called you
01:21:32 a sway-backed, Third World
01:21:36 It's all right, baby. I deserved it.
01:21:39 And I'm sorry I called you
01:21:41 a dinosaur, cellulite,
01:21:49 - Forgiven?
01:21:53 - You are lovely.
01:21:57 Are you serious about Bobby Ray,
01:22:00 Baby, you can have him.
01:22:03 I've got a broken heart
01:22:06 and when one goes out, I just
01:22:13 I think I see him.
01:22:16 No... Moses.
01:22:19 I have lived in apartments that
01:22:24 Let's stay positive. Bobby Lee,
01:22:28 and look at that videotape there.
01:22:31 I know. That is Miss Anne Baxter
01:22:34 and those are the moves.
01:22:37 (Noxeema) All right, let's see.
01:22:41 - I can't.
01:22:44 But I'm not Miss Anne Baxter.
01:22:46 No one is asking you to be.
01:22:48 Just take her strength, her mystery,
01:22:53 If you want them to know
01:22:56 you've got to let them
01:23:00 - Yeah.
01:23:02 - Thanks.
01:23:04 Time to make the donuts.
01:23:06 Chi Chi, he won't like me.
01:23:08 Trust me.
01:23:11 Baby, you got the look, mami.
01:23:14 You certainly do. Do that eye thing
01:23:18 That's right. And be honest with him,
01:23:24 - Thanks.
01:23:30 Momma!
01:23:41 Chi Chi?
01:23:43 Bobby Ray, come here.
01:23:50 Hello?
01:23:52 Oh! Hello.
01:23:56 Bobby Lee!
01:23:58 - Roberta.
01:24:03 Wow. You really look pretty.
01:24:08 Sure is a pretty dress
01:24:11 Oh, this old thing?
01:24:16 Well... Roberta...
01:24:19 would you...?
01:24:23 Wow. You really look good
01:24:27 Oh, Bobby Ray, Bobby Ray, Bobby Ray.
01:24:32 Would you like to dance with me?
01:24:52 I've waited 23 years to ask you this.
01:24:56 - May I have this dance?
01:25:58 - You know, pumpkins?
01:26:01 Sometimes it just takes a fairy.
01:26:24 Men, acting like women.
01:26:29 Men wanting to be with one another,
01:26:35 Their stubbly chins
01:26:43 Touching each other.
01:26:46 Manly hands...
01:26:51 touching swirls of chest hair.
01:26:56 An occasional whiff
01:27:04 Their low, baritone voices...
01:27:07 sighing, grunting.
01:27:12 They hold one another
01:27:18 Hold one another.
01:27:24 Tight.
01:27:48 - How you doing?
01:27:52 - (Barman) What can I get you?
01:28:05 - This your shoe?
01:28:10 I'm looking for the person
01:28:23 - Now the ratchet.
01:28:28 You know, if I can get this to work,
01:28:34 Really? That would be wonderful.
01:28:37 Of course, I'm sure you'll be wanting
01:28:42 for the Strawberry Social
01:28:45 - Now, Vida...
01:28:49 You know,
01:28:52 I wouldn't be lying
01:28:57 that I was really gonna miss you.
01:29:00 I think it's really important
01:29:08 Oh, Carol Ann, I...
01:29:12 If we're going to be friends, there
01:29:17 - Adam's apple?
01:29:21 Adam's apple.
01:29:25 Only men have Adam's apples.
01:29:28 The first night you came to town,
01:29:30 I noticed that you had yourself
01:29:36 - Then you know?
01:29:41 that I'm very fortunate
01:29:45 who just happens to have

01:30:30 Ta-da!
01:30:33 How do I look?
01:30:35 Like the Miami Sound Machine
01:30:40 (Dollard) We have the town

01:30:47 Just come out with your hands up,

01:31:44 Whoever belongs to this shoe...

01:32:25 There's Miss Vida, come on.
01:32:46 I believe that shoe is mine.
01:32:50 - You ain't the one.
01:32:53 Back off, Virgil.
01:32:57 I am a drag queen.
01:33:00 I know there's drag queens
01:33:07 And I ain't leaving
01:33:13 - Can I have my shoe, please?
01:33:18 Nothing this pretty could be real.
01:33:21 You want to touch my boa?
01:33:23 That's my shoe. Ten and a half B,
01:33:27 - I'm a boy in a dress.
01:33:30 - I'm the drag king.
01:33:33 - Arrest us.
01:33:36 So you can just
01:33:39 - What you so afraid of?
01:33:43 You're gonna really regret this.
01:33:46 You have no idea how dangerous
01:33:53 No idea! You're gonna regret it!
01:33:57 All of you are gonna regret it!
01:34:47 (Knocking at door)
01:34:52 Miss Vida?
01:34:55 Auntie Noxee?
01:35:19 - Are you hearing this?
01:35:23 I didn't even want to come here, now
01:35:28 You know, Vida...
01:35:32 you were absolutely right.
01:35:35 About what?
01:35:37 I mean, now I realise that...
01:35:40 you gotta take chances.
01:35:43 Because you never know,
01:35:46 I'm not gonna worry about
01:35:50 I'm gonna make Hollywood
01:35:58 I would like...
01:36:02 Stand up, Vida.
01:36:06 I would like...
01:36:09 to go to Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania
01:36:13 and walk into that imitation
01:36:17 Stand up, Vida. Stand up.
01:36:19 ...and I will say,
01:36:24 - Go ahead, girl.
01:36:28 Approval neither desired
01:36:31 "But I will take your acceptance."
01:36:36 Me, too. I'm gonna stand up
01:36:41 And when I find
01:36:44 I'm never gonna let him go.
01:36:46 And I don't care
01:36:49 Everything I touch
01:36:52 - What does she know?
01:36:54 And I'm gonna try and find
01:36:57 that's a little closer
01:37:11 Idiots! Look at them!
01:37:15 Look at them. Perverts.
01:37:18 When the founding fathers wrote
01:37:23 and the Constitution,
01:37:25 "Liberty and justice for all",
01:37:29 I can tell you one thing about them
01:37:32 - What's that?
01:38:13 You'd better feel it.
01:38:32 This is my Aunt Martha's dress.
01:38:34 I thought you could use it,
01:38:37 - Thank you, girl.
01:38:42 Listen to your Auntie Vida.
01:38:47 imagine good things and moisturise,
01:38:51 Miss Noxeema.
01:38:53 Miss Clara.
01:38:55 Now, listen,
01:38:59 you give this letter
01:39:03 I will. I promise you.
01:39:07 Thank you. I'm gonna miss you.
01:39:10 I'm gonna miss you, too.
01:39:12 - Goodbye.
01:39:20 I hope she leaves me those albums
01:39:24 - All right. Can I hear it?
01:39:28 Sounds wonderful. The shirt is fierce
01:39:32 Take care. Be good to yourself.
01:39:35 Vaya con Dios, Miss Chi Chi.
01:39:37 You ruin my language
01:39:40 - These all grow wild around here.
01:39:46 This reminds me of Princess Laritza
01:39:50 Everybody thought she was dead
01:39:52 but she had taken
01:39:55 - Anyway, bye-bye.
01:40:01 Vida...
01:40:07 Come with us. Please?
01:40:11 Oh, Lord.
01:40:14 If you had any idea
01:40:19 just thinking about
01:40:22 But it's my home.
01:40:26 Besides, I got these girls to raise.
01:40:29 I know.
01:40:34 I love you, Miss Vida Boheme.
01:40:43 I've waited my whole life to hear
01:40:49 And I'm very, very, very happy...
01:40:52 that you're the one to say them.
01:41:01 What...?
01:41:06 I have a lovely idea.
01:41:14 I want you to have this.
01:41:18 I don't know if
01:41:20 It's Julie Newmar. I always thought
01:41:25 My feelings exactly!
01:41:31 - Well...
01:41:43 Vida!
01:41:47 I don't think of you as a man.
01:41:49 And I don't think of you
01:41:53 I think of you as an angel.
01:41:57 I think that's healthy.
