FADE IN:
1 EXT/INT. NIGHTCLUB- EVENING 1
A disembodied gaggle of jersey clad shoulders, jeans, and
hats crosses a narrow street. Lights flare, hands are
stamped, torsos are patted down. Money exchanges hands. We
descend into a black, throbbing tunnel.Explicit music booms from bassy club speakers. Hips, legs
feet dancing.A GO-GO DANCER struts and wiggles around a brass pole. Hoots
and cheers.The dancer marches in place, rolling her thonged bottom.
More cheers, greedy hands stuff dollars into her waistband.FEMALE DJ (O.S.)
