Melanie Rosen : Hi, I'm Melrose. I'm a bad, bad girl who likes to party, party, party. And Daddy's been a bad, bad boy!
[pulls out whip]
Melanie Rosen : Come here, Daddy!
Sam Sylvia : I think, uh... I should pull back on the dominatrix thing.
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : Yeah, just a tad.

Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : Ronnie takes out his pen, signs the picture, and he says, 'It's a good thing Bonzo is a Democrat. Otherwise, he'd have won the nomination.'
[the ladies laugh]
Debbie Eagan : You're hilarious.
Sam Sylvia : Ladies. Hi. I see you've met... Sebastian Howard, our producer.
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : Uh, 'Bash', please.
Sam Sylvia : Just know that he's the one signing your checks, so, be nice.
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : I don't like to talk about money, okay? I'm the patron of the arts. And wrestling is an art, despite my mother's opinion, which is wrong.
Sam Sylvia : I thought you were in Peru.
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : Yeah. I... I... I came back early. Loving the casting!
[grabs Sheila]
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : Even Miss Serious over here. So, so, so, what, what moves have you guys learned?
Cherry Bang : We've been mostly learning to fall on our backs without hurting ourselves.
Arthie Premkumar : And pain faces.
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : W-w-what about, uh, powerbombs? Or, or DDTs? Salty's famous for his DDTs. Where is Salty, by the way?
Sam Sylvia : Yeah, yeah, Bash. Salty didn't work out. Cherry's our new wrestling coach now.
[Cherry waves at Bash]
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : Um... d-does she have any wrestling experience?
Cherry Bang : Um... I'm right here.
Sam Sylvia : Yeah, all right. Anyway, you know that fans are gonna tune in for the moves, but they're not gonna stay tuned in unless we give them what, ladies?
Reggie Walsh : Blood!
Melanie Rosen : Tits!
Sam Sylvia : Storytelling. Storytelling.
Melanie Rosen : Oh.
Sam Sylvia : Now, I know it's exciting to be in the midst of a big-shot producer, but I have something even shinier. A script. Hot off the Xerox. I only made ten copies, so we're gonna have to share 'em. And I'm just gonna cast as we move along, starting with Ruth.
Ruth Wilder : Yes! Anything you need.
Sam Sylvia : Uh, yeah. I'm gonna need you to read stage directions.
[disappointed look in Ruth's face]

[Melrose and Rhonda fiddle with GLOW-Bot]
Rhonda Richardson : Where are the drugs, robot?
Melanie Rosen : How does it refill itself?
[Melrose pushes the red button until a compartment opens]
Melanie Rosen : Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop! Yes! Rhonda, down here.
Rhonda Richardson : Where are they?
Melanie Rosen : Do you see any little baggies?
Rhonda Richardson : No, there's gotta be a...
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : Ahem.
Melanie Rosen : Hey! What? No, we're not molesting your robot.
Rhonda Richardson : What? It kissed me, I didn't kiss it.
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : Well, I got something even better for you to fondle. Who likes glittery fun things?
[Rhonda raises her hand while Melrose looks at the dresses Bash is carrying]
Melanie Rosen : Holy shit! Is that a fucking Bob Mackie gown?
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : Uh, yeah. Why do you think my parties are so legendary?
[Bash throws some dresses at Melrose and Rhonda]
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : We drink, we smoke, we dance and get naked. Then we put on these awesome costumes, and the cycle repeats itself. Now why don't you go tell the ladies that there's a costume closet on the second floor?
[Melrose and Rhonda run back to the mansion]
Melanie Rosen : You guys! Costume party! Get naked!

[the ladies enter the costume room. Tammé puts on a white fur coat]
Tammé Dawson : Now this I can get used to.
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : Play around. Try on everything. Okay, maybe these could help inspire you in your wrestling personas.
Rhonda Richardson : Ooh.
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : That's right. Your wrestling personas.
Tammé Dawson : And would Madame Xenothrob, the slaver-pimp, wear fur?
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : Is that what the fur's telling you? Go with what feels right.
Tammé Dawson : Yes.
Rhonda Richardson : [wearing astronaut helmet] Look, I'm a beekeeper.
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : Hmm.
[Bash notices Carmen wearing a hockey mask]
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : Whoa, whoa, whoa. Why so Friday the 13th, huh?
Carmen Wade : I'm a heel. I'm the evil Ogress. I gotta find something that'll scare the kids.
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : [removes mask] No, no, no. Kids are gonna love you. You're not a serial killer. Look at this face, huh? Look at that smile. You're smiling all the time. No, we need... We need bright colors, fun. Oh, here. Here, try this on.
[Sam grabs a hat]
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : Here. I got this after I dropped acid and hiked up Machu Picchu.
[Carmen puts on the hat]
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : Here we go!
Melanie Rosen : I really thought I was gonna like this. I thought I was gonna like... 'Oh, Bob Mackie! I need that!'. But it's like, I don't even know who this is. It's a stranger...
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. We just gotta strip you down to your essence here.
Melanie Rosen : Naked already?
[Bash grabs a whip and gives it to Melrose]
Melanie Rosen : Wow. You see me.

Sam Sylvia : Am I good?
Sheila the She Wolf : Yeah.
[Bash, wearing an Elvis jumpsuit, comes downstairs with the other ladies]
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : Ladies and gentlemen! Introducing the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling! Yes! Yes! Glorified, get in here. Get in here.
[Bash notices Rhonda carrying an Uzi]
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : Whoa, a gun! Cool!
Sam Sylvia : What the fuck is this?
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : Costumes, characters.
[Sam looks at Tammé]
Sam Sylvia : You look ridiculous.
Tammé Dawson : This is my new character, Sam. I'm not a pimp. I'm a queen.
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : We're exploring some ideas.
Sam Sylvia : We don't need new ideas! I have ideas!
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : Sam, your ideas are so complicated. Okay.
[points at Melrose]
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : Check this chick out, right? This is clear. She's a sexy party girl. And she's a ripoff of Madonna, who is so huge right now.
Melanie Rosen : What?
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : And this one.
[points at Jenny]
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : She walks into the ring. There's no backstories or dialogue about where she came from. You look at her, what's the first thing that jumps out at you?
Rhonda Richardson : Her eyes.
Jenny Chey : Aw!
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : Bingo! She's oriental!
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : [points at Reggie] You're a jock.
[points at Arthie]
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : You're an Arab.
[points at Tammé]
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : You're a big black girl.
Tammé Dawson : The fuck you say?
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : It's not a judgment. It's just what I and the entire world see with our eyes. And in wrestling, that is the foundation upon which we need to build.
