• [the ladies enter the Hayworth ballroom and notice the ring and seats] 

  Melanie Rosen : Holy shit. Okay, this is real. There are cameras.

  Dawn Rivecca : Does anyone else feel the need to pee and puke at the same time?

  Stacey Beswick : Yeah.

  Tammé Dawson : How are we gonna fill all these seats?

  Bash : Oh, hey, ladies.

  [Bash crawls in the ring] 

  Bash : What do you think, huh? Me and Florian and some of the bellhops have been working on it all morning. Check this out.

  [Bash grabs the microphone] 

  Bash : Are you ready to rumble?

  [loud feedback from mic] 

  Bash : Check.

  Ruth Wilder : We gotta deal with that mic. Sheila?

  Sheila the She-Wolf : Yep. Sound. I'm on it.

  [Sheila approaches the ring] 

  Bruce : Uh, hey, is the director around? We gotta position these tripods.

  Ruth Wilder : Oh, no. No, no, no, no no. No tripods. Sorry.

  Arturo : The network said they want to keep it simple.

  Ruth Wilder : Well, the director's going for something a little, uh... different, you know? Uh, he wants the shots to feel... visceral.

  Bruce : So, handheld.

  Ruth Wilder : Yes, exactly. Move around with us, uh, pace the perimeter of the ring, both of you.

  Bruce : Look, if we're both on the perimeter of the ring, you're gonna see at least one of us in every shot.

  Ruth Wilder : You'll figure it out.

• [Melrose, Sheila, and Tammé approach moviegoers at the Hollywood Palladium] 

  Melanie Rosen : All right. Guys, you guys! All right, who wants to make ten bucks? Huh?

  Tammé Dawson : Who here likes women's wrestling? Ten dollars, and all you have to do is sit in there.

  Melanie Rosen : Fuck this time travel shit, okay? This movie's sold out till the midnight showing, anyways.

  Dude : W-what are you?

  Sheila the She-Wolf : We're the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. If you wanna see more, you're gonna have to take this money and meet me across the street at the Hayworth.

• Bash : Welcome back to the second half of our show, ladies and gentlemen. From the South Side of Chicago, and the Ubamba Province of Peru, respectively, Welfare Queen and Machu Picchu!

  [Carmen nervously takes off her hat, then trembles as she sees Tammé approach her] 

  Tammé Dawson : Smells like donkey doo in here. Mm!

  Bash : Looks like Machu's got, uh... just a touch of the infamous Peruvian jungle fever. Will she recover in time to fight, uh, Welfare Queen... this liberal leech, this, uh, parasite on our economy?

  Goliath Jackson : Machu! Machu! Machu! Machu! Machu! Machu!

  [crowd chants with Goliath] 

  Bash : And the crowd is chanting. Machu! Machu! Machu! Machu!

  [Carmen regains her confidence and charges at Tammé] 

  Bash : I can't believe it! The fever has broken, and Machu grabs Welfare Queen!

  [Carmen misses Tammé, and Tammé splashes her] 

  Bash : Welfare Queen is pulling something out of her costume. What is that? Is that...? It's food stamps!

  Tammé Dawson : I get so much money from the government, I just throw it away!

  [Tammé shoves the food stamps in Carmen's mouth] 

  Bash : Oh, my goodness! She is literally shoving her socialist welfare policy down Machu's throat!

  [Tammé grabs Carmen in a sleeper hold] 

  Tammé Dawson : Y'all afraid of me, right? Do you believe what President Reagan says? That I'm cheating the system?

  Bash : I think Welfare Queen is trying to bore Machu into submission. And it's working!

  [Carmen gets up and reverses the sleeper hold into a stunner, sending Tammé to one corner before Carmen splashes her. She kicks Tammé and places her in a headlock] 

  Carmen Wade : Come on! Come on!

  [Tammé reverses the move into a spinebuster] 

  Bash : She's down! Machu needs to get up, or this fight is over.

  [Carmen looks at Goliath from the crowd] 

  Goliath Jackson : Come on. You got this!

  [Carmen grabs Tammé from the second rope and powerbombs her] 

  Bash : And she finished her off with a powerbomb! Unbelievable! The Incan giant has won! Goodness prevails! Justice has been restored! Yes!

• [as Debbie puts on the GLOW Crown, Tammé slides in the ring and grabs it from her. She then grabs the mic] 

  Tammé Dawson : You want this crown back? You fight me for it!

  Debbie Eagan : Tammé, it's fine. It's over.

  Tammé Dawson : Guess not. Sam changed it.

  [faces the crowd] 

  Tammé Dawson : America, you have turned your back on me long enough! You've ghettoized my people, trapped us in an endless cycle of poverty. Not anymore. Tonight, I take back what I deserve!

  [Tammé grabs Debbie in an airplane spin] 

  Bash : It's all gone topsy-turvy, folks! Welfare Queen's stolen the Crown, and she's helicoptering Liberty Belle! I'm just saying that I'm seeing, and I can't believe what I'm seeing!

  [Tammé slams Debbie down and shoves Bash out of the ring] 

  Bash : And the ref's ready to call it! We've got a new champion! I don't know how it happened, but here we are, folks!

  Debbie Eagan : What the fuck?

  Bash : Welfare Queen is tonight's Queen of the Ring! The Crown is hers!

  [the other ladies enter the ring and brawl with each other] 

  Bash : That's our show, folks! That's all we got. Total pandemonium here at the Hayworth! Who will battle Welfare Queen for next week's Crown?
