But this is still Showgirls, so we have to take things too far as he starts berating Nomi because her nipples don't stick out far enough and this is the part where I point out Eszterhas was paid ALMOST FOUR MILLION DOLLARS to write this movie. And this was back in the early 90s when Hollywood budgets weren't the insanity-laced trainwrecks they are today.
Nomi finally has
enough of Tony's asshole-dom, so she STORMS OFF back into the
dressing room where she runs into Cristal, who was watching the
entire audition. Nomi tells Cristal that she hates her, to which
Cristal responds “I know”. Not
quite Han and Leia, is it? Nomi leaves the
hotel, where she just happens to bump into Plummer who is now working
there as a bellhop. Good God, this guy is like Lois Lane in Man Of Steel, able
to appear wherever the plot needs me for lazy convenience in a single
bound. Nomi tells him she
just auditioned to be a showgirl, and he unintentionally sums up how
totally moronic the entire plot for this movie really is:
“You don't want
to be in this kind of show. What you're doing, at least it's honest.
They want tits and ass, you give them tits and ass. Here, they
pretend they want something else, and you still show them tits and
ass.”
Really, how am I
supposed to follow that?
