• Sam Sylvia : All right, where's my real actress? Where's Strindberg?

  Ruth Wilder : [raises hand]  Oh, here!

  Sam Sylvia : Mm-hmm.

  Sam Sylvia : Know any good party tricks?

  Ruth Wilder : Um... I can do, um... Audrey Hepburn winning an Oscar for Roman Holiday.

  Sam Sylvia : Hmm.

  Ruth Wilder : [imitating Audrey Hepburn]  I am truly, truly grateful... and terribly happy.

  Sam Sylvia : Very winsome.

  Ruth Wilder : Yeah.

  Sam Sylvia : Where's your friend?

  Ruth Wilder : Oh. Um... who?

  Sam Sylvia : You know, that smoking hot blonde who kicked your ass the other day. Where's she? How come she's not here?

  Ruth Wilder : She's probably at home in Pasadena with her baby.

  Sam Sylvia : Why isn't she here?

  Ruth Wilder : She's not supposed to be here. She wasn't auditioning.

  Tammé Dawson : Yeah, she just came to stomp the homewrecker.

  [silence] 

  Ruth Wilder : Oh! Oh... I see what happened. You all thought that was real, didn't you? No, we planned that.

  Jenny Chey : Oh my gosh, of course! This makes total sense. She's on a soap.

  Sam Sylvia : [looking at Ruth]  You're on a soap?

  Jenny Chey : No. No no. Not her, the pretty one. The one who slapped her. She's Laura Morgan on Paradise Cove. Until... Until... she had to have reconstructive surgery after a year-long coma.

  Ruth Wilder : Also known as getting written off the show. But I love her, she's great.

  Sam Sylvia : Wait, what's her name?

  Jenny Chey : Debbie Eagan. She was also in one episode of Murder, She Wrote. I watch a lot of Murder, she wrote and Wheel of Fortune, TV in general.

  Cherry Bang : Are you done? 'Cause some of us like to work.

• [Sam enters the locker room and opens up several lockers to look for something. Cherry then enters the room] 

  Cherry Bang : Honey, you still doing blow?

  Sam Sylvia : What? No. I'm just, uh... checking driver's licenses. You know, women lie about their age all the time.

  Cherry Bang : What happened to that coach?

  Sam Sylvia : I fired him.

  Cherry Bang : What? You fired the only guy with any wrestling experience?

  Sam Sylvia : Look, I just don't want to make a dumb wrestling show. I don't wanna just take things out of the playbook, you know.

  Cherry Bang : You trying to fuck this up too?

  Sam Sylvia : Come on. I mean, I gave you another job, didn't I? I don't see a lot of directors out there giving you on-camera work.

  Cherry Bang : Oh, no. We both haven't worked in a while, so let's not get into a pissing contest. Look, we work good together, right? So let's just get back out there and deal with these amateurs you hired.

  Sam Sylvia : Okay, let's do that. Wanna?

  Melanie Rosen : Were you guys about to bone? I mean, I can pee in a bucket, I don't care.

  Cherry Bang : I'm married.

  Sam Sylvia : But... we did. 1978. It was me, her, and her husband.

  [looking at Cherry] 

  Sam Sylvia : What, you don't remember that?

  Cherry Bang : [looks at Melrose]  You need to pee? Pee.

  Melanie Rosen : Jeez.

  [Melrose enters a toilet stall] 

• Cherry Bang : Don't bring shit up like that, man.

  Sam Sylvia : What? History is a beautiful thing.

  [Sam opens a locker and grabs a bag] 

  Sam Sylvia : Oh! I haven't talked to you since the... you know, the... the whole...

  Cherry Bang : What?

  Sam Sylvia : Uh... womb goof.

  Cherry Bang : Miscarriage?

  Sam Sylvia : Yeah. I was trying to come up with a tactful euphemism.

  Melanie Rosen : I hear nothing. I'm not hearing anything.

  Cherry Bang : It was two years ago, and I'm fine. Again, can you keep my business to yourself?

  Sam Sylvia : Just trying to be sensitive.

  [Sam opens the bag and finds several script books, revealing the bag to be Ruth's] 

  Sam Sylvia : Oh, yes.

  Cherry Bang : What the hell are you up to?

  [Sam grabs Ruth's phone book] 

  Sam Sylvia : Hold on. Here we go. Okay.

  [Sam turns the pages and rips the one with Debbie's address before returning the book to the bag] 

  Sam Sylvia : I got my methods. Trust me.

  [as Sam walks out, Melrose exits the toilet stall] 

  Melanie Rosen : Oh, I trust him. Who doesn't trust a man with a mustache full of coke?

• Cherry Bang : Yo! Shut up!

  [pause] 

  Cherry Bang : Sorry, um... Carmen, help me out.

  Carmen Wade : Okay.

  Cherry Bang : I wanna start with some kind of hold and release.

  Carmen Wade : You mean, like a lockup?

  Cherry Bang : Yup, show me.

  Carmen Wade : Okay. A lockup, it's kind of like dancing when you first start, so...

  [Cherry and Carmen grab each other's necks and arms] 

  Carmen Wade : Okay, so we start here first. This way, I can tell you which way to go. So, I'll lead and you follow, okay?

  Cherry Bang : Okay.

  [they move back and forth] 

  Carmen Wade : Yeah.

  Cherry Bang : Okay, so if I wanted to put you in, say, a headlock. I do...

  [Cherry moves Carmen's hand from her neck and places her in a headlock] 

  Cherry Bang : This?

  Carmen Wade : I think so.

  Cherry Bang : All right. Pair up. Everybody give it a shot.

• [as the ladies practice their lockups, Melrose and Rhonda start singing] 

  Melanie Rosen , Rhonda Richardson : [singing]  Hold me now. Oh, oh, warm my heart. Stay with me. Let loving start, let loving start. Oh, hold me now...

  Cherry Bang : Some of us are trying to work.

  Melanie Rosen : They're slow dancing. They just fully did a spin.

  Reggie Walsh : Ow! That's not what we practiced.

  [Reggie carries Arthie to the corner] 

  Cherry Bang : All right, um...

  [points at Ruth] 

  Cherry Bang : You.

  [points at Melrose] 

  Cherry Bang : And you.

  Melanie Rosen : Oh.

  Cherry Bang : Let's see what you got.

  Melanie Rosen : Okay.

  [gets off the top turnbuckle] 

  Melanie Rosen : Come on, drama nerd. Hold me now.

  Ruth Wilder : Okay.

  [they get into a lockup] 

  Ruth Wilder : I think it's like this. And then I'm gonna spin around, and we're gonna put your arm around my neck.

  Melanie Rosen : Okay.

  [Ruth grabs Melrose's arm and turns around] 

  Ruth Wilder : Then here, like this...

  Melanie Rosen : And then just sort of, you know, like this...

  [Melrose starts grinding her hips against Ruth's back] 

• Cherry Bang : Melanie, do the moves.

  Melanie Rosen : Those are my moves, kid. I mean, they're the moves that got me cast in the porn dance party in Body Double.

  Ruth Wilder : Please, as if you worked with De Palma.

  Melanie Rosen : I did. So...

  [Melrose charges at Ruth, causing her to back up and hit the top turnbuckle with her arm] 

  Ruth Wilder : Ow!

  Cherry Bang : Strindberg, you okay?

  Ruth Wilder : I'm fine. I'm fine.

  Cherry Bang : [approaches Melrose]  What the fuck was that?

  Melanie Rosen : I took her by surprise. You know, to win. 'Cause that's the whole point of the whole thing.

  Cherry Bang : The point is to do it safely. You could've seriously hurt her.

  Ruth Wilder : It's all part of the process. Ah. Delayed pain.

  Cherry Bang : You know what? I don't have time to deal with spoiled little bitches who don't take anything seriously.

  Melanie Rosen : [chuckles]  You don't even know me.

  Cherry Bang : Oh, sweetie. I know you. You never had a real job. Your daddy pays all your bills, but you don't let anybody know unless you get really drunk. You drive a limo because you want someone, anyone, to think you're interesting. Tell me I'm wrong.

  [pause, then Cherry walks away] 

• Melanie Rosen : You got this job 'cause you fucked the director!

  [Cherry approaches Melrose] 

  Cherry Bang : I got this job because I'm a pro. And I know how to make these moves look real.

  Melanie Rosen : You think that this shit looks real? Ever get in a street fight, and you're like, 'Oh, careful for my neck, just make sure to do it safely'? It's fucking fake.

  Cherry Bang : Okay. Come at me. Make it look as real as you want.

  [the other ladies start to exit the ring] 

  Melanie Rosen : Okay.

  [Melrose stands in one corner, then does the crane kick pose and attempts to kick Cherry, but Cherry grabs her and locks her in a sleeper hold] 

  Melanie Rosen : Cherry... Cherry...

  [Cherry knocks her out] 

  Cherry Bang : That's lunch.

• Cherry Bang : All right. So, it goes a little something like this.

  [Cherry does a back bump] 

  Cherry Bang : It's like a belly flop, but on to your back. Let's give it a shot. Carmen, kick us off.

  [Carmen does a back bump] 

  Cherry Bang : Yes! I like it. All right, who's next?

  Melanie Rosen : [raises hand]  You know what? I'll try.

  Cherry Bang : All right.

  Melanie Rosen : Okay.

  [Melrose does a sloppy back bump] 

  Melanie Rosen : Shit, that was a disaster. Let me try again. I can do better.

  Cherry Bang : Okay.

  [Melrose does another sloppy back bump] 

  Melanie Rosen : Crap. I can do it better. Can I go one more time?

  Cherry Bang : You're fine.

  Melanie Rosen : No. I wanna push myself. I wanna work harder.

  Cherry Bang : Okay.

  [Melrose does a back bump, then suddenly writhes in pain] 

  Melanie Rosen : Oh, my fuck! No! Oh fuck! Oh...

  [Melrose sees blood on her hand] 

  Melanie Rosen : Oh my God! What is happening? I thought I might be pregnant. I put my body through too much trauma today. Fuck, this is so painful. Am I having a miscarriage?

  Arthie Premkumar : Okay. I'm pre-med. Are you cramping? Are you experiencing any other symptoms of pain?

  Melanie Rosen : Oh, fuck!

  [pulls out ketchup bottle] 

  Melanie Rosen : Bummer. How am I gonna tell Adam Ant that our precious little baby turned out to be a womb goof?

  Cherry Bang : Get the hell out of my ring.

  Melanie Rosen : De-fucking-lighted.

• Sam Sylvia : Ladies, get out your autograph books. I want you to meet the new star of GLOW, this is TV's own Debbie Morgan.

  Debbie : Eagan.

  Sam Sylvia : Debbie Eagan.

  Cherry Bang : Where the hell have you been?

  Sam Sylvia : I've been working my ass off. I just drove to fucking Pasadena in the middle of the day.

  Debbie : [sees Ruth]  Are you insane? Am I on fucking Candid Camera? Why is she still here?

  Sam Sylvia : Oh, her. Yeah... I did... Look...

  Cherry Bang : While you been gone, we done a lot of fucking around.

  Debbie : Take me home. Now. Give me your fucking keys. I'm taking your car.

  Sam Sylvia : Just give me a second.

  Cherry Bang : Oh no, we got some miscarriage bullshit to show you.

  Sam Sylvia : Wait, what?

  Cherry Bang : Oh, now I have your attention?

  Cherry Bang : You, just stop talking and give me, give me a minute, okay? Just give me a minute.

  [looks at Debbie] 

  Cherry Bang : Honey, honey, come with me. Come on. Come on. It's gonna be all right.

  [Sheila approaches Ruth] 

  Sheila the She-Wolf : Don't stand up straight.

  Ruth Wilder : I'm...

  Sheila the She-Wolf : You have to be submissive. She's the Alpha and you're the Omega.

  Ruth Wilder : I'm...

  Sheila the She-Wolf : Shh. You're gonna provoke her.

  Ruth Wilder : Let me just...

  Sheila the She-Wolf : Slouch toward the ground. Now slouch. Submit. She might kill you.

  Debbie : [looking at Ruth]  What are you doing?

  Sheila the She-Wolf : She's submitting.

  Debbie : No, don't even talk to me.
