01x05 - Leeches

[bunniefuu]

He is
Dr. Hunkenstein's Man-ster!

- All of this, no.
- Look, Steve, you gave me...

- No, you look! I am the boss!

- The only thing that
makes this place special

is what we bring to it,
what we bring to it!

Just do the
Chippendales. It'll k*ll here.

You'll be like 3,000
miles away from that guy.

- That's not far enough.

I'm the only one left out.

- Hanging in their
home, a naked Black man?

You know how white people
are, they get threatened.

- Do you have a membership card?

- Wait a minute, a membership?
- Since when have you had membership cards?

What are you talking about?

- I kneel before you today

offering my everlasting
oath of loyalty.

We're opening a
Chippendales in New York.

If you have a problem with
that, I'll open my own place.

You and me go to w*r.

- I transferred him.
My best idea yet.

Our soon-to-open New
York Chippendales.

There.

Little bit shorter.

- Signore, it's right
where it should be,

- at the wrist bone, you see.
- I would like it shorter.

- Uh, shorter.

All right.

There you have it.
- Little bit more.

- Signore, with all due
respect, any shorter

will make you look...
- Shorter.

Perfect.

- 383, 384, 385, 386.

- Mr. Banerjee.

Some turnout, huh?
- Mm.

How many does this place hold?

- Five hundred.

What's the matter?

- I counted 386.

- This? That's the
f*cking standby.

- Are you serious?
- Mm-hm. Come on.

I better see you
dancing tonight. Enjoy.

Wow,
gorgeous! I love it.

Tommy, it's nice...

Steve!

Welcome to Chippendales East!

Huh?

Come on!

It's not too shabby, huh?

- No.
- I will show you to your seat.

- Is this a VIP section?
You have a VIP section?

Yes, it's a VIP
section.

And you're a very special VIP.

Hi, thanks, Barry.

- Are these people
famous? They look famous.

- Uh, some of them
are famous, yes.

Uh, behind me is Tommy Tune.

He's a huge Broadway star.
He has the curly hair.

He tap dances and
sings. He's amazing!

- Really? Could you introduce
me to him afterwards?

I don't know his work,
but I love famous people.

Okay.

Is this, uh...

The real deal.

It's... real.

Nick found them at an
estate sale in Chappaqua

of all places.

- I'm sitting in a Chippendales chair.
- Yes.

Yeah.

- Here you go.
- Thanks, honey.

- Of course.
- That's great.

Baby,
they're gonna love it.

- Yeah, but what if they don't?

That's not possible.

- This isn't LA, Bradford.
These people have taste.

So do you.

- I'm walking a fine line here.

They, they could easily mistake

the intentional campiness
for, I don't know...

- They're gonna love
it, you as*h*le.

Now get out there and bask in
the glory of your finest hour.

Listen to her.

- I can't.

- Well, Steve,
Steve's out there.

- Oh. Well, all the more
reason not to go out.

- He's in a good mood.

He's in, like, a
really good mood.

- Well, yeah, until he sees
what we're opening with.

Our story begins...

on a dark and stormy night
in a mysterious castle

somewhere in deepest,
darkest, Mansylvania.

- Congratulations!
- Oh, f*ck!

Steve! Goddammit.

Man, that opening number!

They went crazy for it!

- Yes.
- Yes!

At the end, I've never
heard that many people

make that much
noise at one time.

There was a pregnant
lady screaming so much,

I think her baby will
remember the show.

Yes.

Oh, Steve.

Steve, Steve.

So good.

- I mean, it's so funny,
you know, 'cause I mean,

you do realize that that's
the thing that you nixed.

- What?
- Yeah, in LA. You hated it.

You, uh...

You forbade me from doing it.

- Well, in LA, you did not have

that extremely
attractive man, right?

- I did, actually.

- That same guy?
- Uh-huh, same guy.

I brought him to the club.

I introduced you.

I do not remember that.

- Oh, I do.

- Well.

Congratulations.

Wonderful.

Thank you.

- Where are you going? Nick?

Wow.

- What, you've never seen snow?

- I've only ever been to
Bombay and Los Angeles.

Wow.

- What was that?

- I hit you. It's a snowball.

- Why?

- Why?

It's fun.

- I want to try.

- Well, knock yourself out.

Here.

Come here.

Here, like this.

Cup your hand and fill it
with snow, make a ball.

No, more, more. Get more. Yeah.
- More?

Wow, yours is...
- No, together, together, like compact it.

Yeah. And in a circle.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Oh, no, no, no, no. It's okay.

- It's called a snowball,
not a snow-flat.

- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

All right, let's go, kid.

Hit me with your best shot.
- Are you sure?

- Yeah.

Oh, sh*t!

All right, it's on!

What's about to occur is what's
known as a snowball fight.

Okay.

- Are you ready for it?

Yes.

- Ah!
- Oh!

- Come on, Steve. Come on!

- Oh, okay.
- Come on, buddy. Come on!

- Oh. Oh.
- Come on!

Where's your snowball, Steve?
- Okay. Okay, that's enough.

- I don't see you...
- Okay, stop.

- Come on, Steve.
- Okay. Okay. Okay, that's enough.

I don't
want to play anymore!

Please, that's enough!

I don't want to play anymore!

I don't want to play anymore!
- Come on!

Stop, please! I'm
done!

- Come on!
- I said, I'm finished!

- f*ck!

- You are a bully.

- Are you serious?

- Have Denise fax Irene the
DSR reports from tonight.

I'll call you next week.

- There you go.
- Thank you, sir.

Welcome
home!

Come here and give me a kiss!

Oh, I missed you.
- Hi!

- Mwah.
- Hi!

How was the doctor?
- Ah, he said everything looks perfect.

I'm already up 16 pounds.

- That's not enough. I
need you big and fat.

- Oh. Be careful
what you wish for.

So, tell me about everything.

- About what?

- About the club, silly.

It was incredible.

The crowd, the venue, the size.

Everything about it was
bigger and better than LA.

- That's fantastic.

- Yeah, it's really good.

- Stevie?
- Yes.

- You can't be jealous
of your own club.

- I'm not jealous.

- The better he does,
the better we do.

- I know, I know.

- Okay. Come on. I
made French toast.

- Steve Banerjee?

- You're that guy,
Steve Banerjee.

You're the creator of
Chippendales.

- Yes, yes, I am.

- Perfect. Here you go.

- We're being sued for racially
discriminatory practices.

This guy says we turned him
away for not having a VIP card.

What is that? We
don't have VIP cards.

We don't, we don't
have them. Right?

We don't have a VIP card.
- What? No.

- Okay. I mean, he's saying
that it's a membership card

that we use to keep
out minorities.

- That's outrageous.

- It's not true.

- Right?

- How could you ask me that?

No, it's not true.
Are you serious?

Do you
seriously think that?

- No, I'm sorry. I'm
sorry, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

It's cl... You know,
it's clearly just

some shameless money grab.

Some guy who thinks that we're so rich
that we'll just write him a big, fat check

to make it go away.

- Terrible.

- You know, this is what
happens when you're successful.

Everybody wants a piece.

- Karl.

Okay.

Listen to me. There
are no VIP cards.

They do not exist. It is absurd.

You have never heard
of such a thing.

- But you're holding one
in your hand right now.

- Oh, this was made by customers

so that they could
skip the line,

avoid the long wait, right?

These are the lengths people
will go to to get into our club.

They'll make fake VIP cards.

- Why would I let somebody
in with a made-up card?

- What?

- If somebody were
making fake cards,

don't you think your
doorman would know?

- You need to come up with a better story.
- Oh, just...

Just... There are no cards,
okay?

There are no cards!

- Oh, my God, look at us.

- We're just strolling through midtown.
- Yep.

- We're a hot new power
couple in the theater scene.

Oh, are we a couple now?

- Well, we have been for years.

- Really?

Tell me more.

- Oh, you didn't know?

- Well, I mean, I
knew that we spend

every waking moment
together, so...

- Yeah.

It's a wonderful relationship.

- Uh-huh.

- We have love
and companionship,

and we still get to
f*ck whoever we want.

- Now that's a
wonderful relationship.

It is.

The best.

The best.

What is this, a bank?

I feel like we're almost

in a haunted house...
- The floors are great.

- Of mediocrity but...
- You can dance in here like no tomorrow.

Oh.

- Come on in.

- There they are!

- Hello.
- Hi.

- Hey, hi, Bradford.

- Hi, Denise.

Look at your fun top.

- Oh, and an ironed jean...
- pant.

So what do you think?

What do
I think about what?

- About our new New
York headquarters?

- Oh, our new...

Um, we...

But we have our
office at the club.

- Oh, come on. That
dreary, windowless bunker

does not qualify as an office.

Look at this place.

- I am, and, ugh, why so beige?

- They're neutrals.
It's very soothing.

- Okay, I feel like
I'm in a van at a bank.

- Denise, Denise.
- Both things are not...

- Can you love it?
- Summonsing my...

- Can you love it?
- Ugh.

- I need you to love it with us.
- Ugh!

- Come on, it's not that hard.
- I'm not soothed at all!

- Come on, sit down.
- Ugh!

- Sit down in this
beautiful chair...

- Yeah!
- That's made

- to soothe you.
- Chair?

- It's Italian.
- Right.

- Doesn't that feel good?

Feels like my father.

- Come on, you look
like Wonder Woman.

- You can bring all
your stuff from Queens,

or wherever you're from, and...

I'm from Long Island.

- There's more furniture coming.
- Okay.

- Oh, and there's some artwork

and things like
that.

- Well, grab it.
- Oh.

- See what it feels
like to answer the phone

in your new office.

- Okay.

Hello.

- Hi, is this Denise Conklin?
- Yes, it is.

Uh-huh.

Look at you.

- I'm sorry, who, who is it?

As in the Phil Donahue? JOCELYN:
That's right, Ms. Conklin.

We
are so sorry to bother you.

Oh, yeah.

- What are they saying?

What are they saying? Denise.
- I agree.

It's incredible.
- What are they saying?

- Really?
- Really what?

Really? Yeah.

Oh, I couldn't agree more, and

I will check on that.

And then, um...

And then we'll get back to you.

- Thank you so much.
- Thank you, Jocelyn.

- Have a wonderful day.
- Yeah, you too.

Okay, bye.

What the f*ck was that?

Phil Donahue?

A producer
from the show

was at our Hunkenstein
Masterpiece.

And?

And
Chippendales is gonna be

on the Phil Donahue Show.

Oh, my God! Oh,
my God!

- Phil Donahue?

Phil f*cking Donahue.

- Are you kidding
me, the Phil Donahue?

With the gray hair?

Yes.

- He's a silver fox.

Are you
serious? - Yes!

Chippendales is gonna
be on the biggest show

on daytime television.

We're gonna be on Donahue!

- Oh, my God.
- I know.

- Really?
- Yes.

- We're gonna be on Phil Donahue.
- We're gonna be on Phil Donahue.

- Say it again.

- We're gonna be
on Phil Donahue.

Oh, it's back! Shush,
shush! - Hey, quiet.

It's on. Be quiet.

- Okay.
- Keep watching, guys.

Oh boy, ladies,

have we got a treat
for you today.

Now if you're lucky enough
to live in New York or LA,

you may have seen these
fellas in the

flesh.

They're called Chippendales,

and they are the hottest
thing since sliced bread.

Filling up
clubs on both coasts

full of women looking to get
their hands on some buns.

And
I'm not talking about

the kind that you
get in a bakery.

Aw, heck, but you
didn't come here

to listen to me talk about 'em.

You came here to
see 'em, am I right?

Well, in that case,
without further ado...

Ah, now husbands, please step
away from the televisions...

as I present, in their
national television debut,

the men of Chippendales!

- It's your creation
on national television.

Right?

Woo!

- Well, well, well,
how about that, huh?

Let's give another round
of applause, ladies.

- Woo!
- Woo!

And we're clear!

We need to get you mic'd.

- Are you ready for your
closeup, Mr. De Noia?

- I mean, how many people
could possibly be watching?

Two million? Three?

Fourteen.

- It's 14?
- Fourteen million.

- Can they come with me?

- Come on, in the green room.

- Come with me.
- Congrats, Phil.

Fourteen? All right.

- Well, if you're
anything like me,

you're probably
wondering to yourself,

"Who the heck came up with
this? What kind of mind..."

Well, we're about to find out.

Please welcome Mr. Chippendales
himself, Mr. Nick De Noia.

Oh-h*! Nicky!

- Thanks for having me, Phil.

Please.

- Oh, Nick, Nick, Nick.

Nick, Nick,
Nick, Nick, Nick.

- Yes, Phil?

What have you
done?

You naughty boy!

You're gonna wreck a whole
lot of marriages, my friend.

- I don't know, Phil.
They don't seem to mind.

Right, ladies?

I mean, what do you say,
ladies? Did you enjoy that?

They love it, Phil.

Yes, they do.

Well, I understand you're

a choreographer by trade.

Amongst other things.

Oh, other things is right.

You've been in movies and
television in the theater.

True. You've
been an actor, a writer,

a director, a producer.

Guilty as charged.

You've even won an Emmy.

Actually, no.

Oh. I've won two.

Ah, all right.

Forgive me.

That's why they call
you Mr. Chippendales.

I guess so,
Phil. I guess so.

- Why did he let him call
him Mr. Chippendales?

He should have
corrected him, right?

- Well, you know, it's live TV.

Things happen.
- But Chippendales is my creation,

so why did he let him say that?

- Steve, I'm sure
there was no mal intent

on Nick's part.
It was a big show.

There were a lot of segments, I-I...
- I'm going to go to New York.

No.

- I'm gonna go to New York,
I'm going to find Nick,

and I'm going to tell him

that he needs to call Phil...
- No! Put that phone down.

No. Stop.
- Irene. Irene.

- Stop it! Stop it.
- He has just...

- Stop.

Now, I want you to
repeat after me.

"Things are going
incredibly well."

Say it.

- Things are going
incredibly well.

- "My company was just featured
on national television."

- My company was just featured
on national television.

- "Business is booming."

- Business is booming.

- "I wear a Rolex."

- I wear a Rolex.

- "I live in a big,
beautiful house."

- I live in a big,
beautiful house.

- "With my gorgeous,
pregnant wife."

- With my gorgeous,
pregnant wife.

- "And I'm not gonna blow it
on some silly little slight."

Say it.

- I'm not going to blow it
on some silly little slight.

- Good.

- Thank you.
- Mm-hm.

Steve, do we have aspirin?

I don't know which is worse,

what you did, or the
fact you lied about it!

- Okay, Irene, okay, yes,
we did have VIP cards,

and I should have told
you that I had them,

but I did not use them

for what the lawsuit said
I used them for, okay...

- What did you use them for?

What did
you use them for, Steve?

- Just to have a more
upscale clientele,

that's it. Yes.
- Upscale clientele?

You were trying to keep
out the Black people!

- No, no. That is not...
- Yes, you were!

- That is not... No, no.
- Yes, you were!

Why did you do that?

- Okay, okay.

When other people see
Black people in here,

they think the
place is not classy.

- Steve.
- It's not my fault they're r*cist.

I just wanted our
club to be successful.

- Steve, there are two types
of people in this world.

There are good people and
there are bad people...

and
we are good people.

You are a good person.

We don't do things like this.

Do you hear me?

- I'm sorry.

- For what?

Say it.
- I should have told you.

You should have
told me.

What else?

- I should not have...

I should not have kept the
Black people out of the club.

I'm sorry.
- No.

Hey.

- Now I have to go find us
a very expensive lawyer!

Boss-man.

Yo, I'm in the locker
room fixing that pipe.

You know, the one making all the
noise with the bing, bing, bing.

- Yes.
- Right? So anyways, I got the TV on.

I like to have it on in the
background while I'm working.

It kinda puts me in like a

certain kind of...
- What is the point?

- All right. Well, don't
get mad at me, okay?

- What is the point?

- Nick was on Mike Douglas.

He did it again.

- Well, how much
weight have you lost?

Well, did, did the doctor say

you could keep taking
them?

How bad are the palpitations?

Well then,

keep taking the
pills.

Well, Richie, do you want...

I'm working!

- I've gotta read this before...

I don't
care what Karl says.

Do you wanna be famous, or
do you wanna be fat, Richie?

That's what I
thought. I'm swamped.

- Chippendales, this is Nick.
- You mind telling me

what the hell you're
trying to pull?

- Uh, Steve?

- Ray just saw you...
- I'll call you back.

On the Mike Douglas Show.

- I saw that sh*t.
- Great, and?

- And you did it again.

Did what again?

- You had them call you Mr. Chippendales.
- Excuse me?

And the same thing
happened on Donahue.

They called you
Mr. Chippendales.

- Oh, and you think that I
told them to call me that?

Well, you
certainly did not object.

- Well, if they call me that,
Steve, there's really...

You should correct them.

- Oh, you want me to
stop the show and,

and give them a whole rundown
of who's who in the company?

- Yes, exactly. Do that.

Oh wow.

That would, that would make for
scintillating television, Steve.

"Uh, actually, Mike, Mr. Chippendales is
not an entirely accurate title for me."

- That is right. It is not accurate.
- "So, yes, it's true,

I am the show's "choreographer
and mastermind...

- You are not the mastermind.
- But there's this other guy,

- Steve Banerjee, who..."
- Okay,

enough with your sarcasm. I
do not appreciate it, okay?

- Yeah, well, I don't
appreciate you talking

to me like a f*cking
five-year-old, so...

Well, you're my employee.
I'll talk to you however I want.

- Oh, here we go with the whole
f*cking employee bullshit again.

Listen, Steve, if
it wasn't for me,

you'd be a failed
nightclub owner

living out of the
trunk of your car.

And
if it wasn't for me,

you'd still be
doing Unicorn Tales.

By the way, I watched that show.

Very low quality.

Really,
Steve?

And who has the Emmys here?

- Yeah, where did
you get those Emmys?

At a souvenir shop on
Hollywood Boulevard?

f*ck you.

I forbid
you from going on

national television to take
credit for my creation.

- Oh, is that what I'm doing?

Is that what I'm doing, Steve?

I'm stealing credit?

- That is exactly
what you are doing!

Yeah?

You wanna see taking
credit, as*h*le?

I will show you taking credit.

You ain't seen nothin' yet!

- He was not apologetic at all.

What an as*h*le!

- Was that Steve?

- Stop it.
- What?

- He is the founder,
creator, and choreographer...

- The man behind the muscle...

- Everybody calls him
Mr. Chippendales...

- Please welcome
Mr. Chippendales himself...

Nick De Noia!

- So great to see you, Bill.

- Great to see you, Nick.

- Great to see you, too, ladies.

Sally, you are an
angel sent from heaven.

Kiss me. Mwah! Mwah!

Geraldo!

- Hey Nick, great to see you.

- It's great to see you, too.

- Hello, Nick. Welcome.

- Thanks for having me, Gene.

- You are a superstar, Nick.

- Ah, you are too
kind, my friend.

- No, no. Multi-Emmy-Award-winning
choreographer...

- How about showing us
some new dance moves?

- Oh, sure.

- Nick you are a bad boy.

- You know what I think?

I think, Nick, this
is a phenomenon.

- You know what, why
don't we ask America?

What do you think, America?

- I think we're gonna get a
lot of letters about this one.

- That should be you!

Just 'cause the show's in
New York, they get to go on?

Yo, you cannot, cannot
let him take your glory.

You gotta fight fire with fire.

- What do you mean?

- Go on some f*cking shows.

Gonna mic you
up inside your jacket here.

Apologies if my hands
are a little cold.

And if you
could just turn your head

towards me.

Not an exact match.

You know, they make
makeup for Black skin

and white skin, of course,
but I tried my best.

- Limit your movements or
you're gonna sound terrible.

- Okay, Mr. Banerjee,
we're about 30 seconds out.

Are we ready to go?

He looks great. You look great.

Let's go. Let's get
you up and over here.

Follow me.

Let's try to keep the
camera in focus today.

It's a little bit of
an obstacle course.

- Still a lot of rustling.
Has he done this before?

- Yes. Could you please try
to move as little as possible.

- You've got this, Boss-man.

Don't worry about the sweat.
- Who is this?

- You're gonna be good, all right?
- You can't be here.

- He can't be here!
- Sir...

- So it's a five-minute segment.
You're going to be talking to Connie,

and just a reminder, no
swearing as we are live.

Going to have you
sit right here.

You're gonna wanna
look at camera one,

camera two, and camera three.

Actually, camera two and three
have switched places on us today.

The one with the light's
the one to look at.

Connie, what a beautiful
teal color on you!

- It's turquoise.
- Is it?

Well, wardrobe told me green,

but here we are.
- Excuse me. Do I look at the one

with the light or not?
- Okay everybody, we are live...

Not the one
with the light.

- In five, four...
- Do I look at the one

with the light?
- You'll be great.

- Three...
- Which...

- Chippendales.

If you're a gal,

maybe you've been to
their club on Overland.

- Oh, it's starting! Shh!
- Or bought their latest

best-selling calendar.
- Oh, all right.

Well, tonight, you're going
to meet the man behind it all.

Steve Banerjee,

welcome to Live At Five.

- Thank you, Connie.

- For the three or four
remaining Angelenos

unfamiliar with your
establishment, tell us about it.

- It's a very fun place.

Um, it's engaging, you know,
because women can go there,

finally they can
let their hair down.

Um, and now...

and the men take clothes
off for the women

as opposed to the
typical reverse,

because, you know, women
take clothes off for men,

and men put money
in their panties.

But in this situation,

it's the men that are getting
the money in their panties.

That's wonderful.

And it's been such
a smashing success.

Not just the clubs, but
how about that merchandise?

- You know, I thought
everybody has mugs,

because they drink coffee
from them, or water,

but to me, water tastes
weird from a mug.

Um, and you know,
everybody has key chains

because keys are required
to enter your domicile,

and so I thought it would
be financially lucrative

to have the Chippendale
logo on cups...

- He's really sweating.
- And key chains.

- That's the least
of our worries.

- And then on the calendar,
instead of just the logo,

why not have pictures of the
men who women like to see naked?

- Of course.
- And so every month is a different man.

One time it's a motorcycle man.

- That's wonderful.
Just wonderful.

I understand you recently
opened a location in New York.

- Yes, we...

Is that right, Steve?

Steve?

- I'm sorry, could you
repeat the question?

I understand
you recently opened

a location in New York City.

Very much so.

Great.

Steve, are there any juicy
backstage Chippendale stories

you could share with
the ladies at home?

- One time a woman tried
to bring in her dog.

That's great.

Okay, that was...

That was so fun.

Uh, let's get back to work.

It's time.

- So, Mr. Banerjee,
man, you did great.

I couldn't have done that.

Being on TV with
all those lights?

And that was your first time!

I mean, for your first time?

'Cause a lot of those
questions were tough, you know?

Reporters always ask
those tough questions.

That's the game, they
wanna make you look bad,

but you ain't look
bad, you know.

You was up there and...

- Stop talking.

Pull over. Huh?

- Pull over in there.

- Where you going?

Oh, sh*t!

- Everybody's trying to copy me.

Profit off what I built,
my risk, my hard work!

Leeches.

Can I help you?

- Is this your place?

- Yeah.

- You've got a lot of
nerve, ripping me off.

- Excuse me?

- My name is Steve Banerjee,

and I'm the owner of
Chippendales, and...

What's so funny?

Nice try.

- Excuse me?

- Merv Griffin,

he had the guy on a
couple of nights ago.

- That was an employee of mine.

- Oh, okay, yeah. That
guy works for you.

- As a matter of fact, he
does. He's my choreographer.

- Look, pal, I don't
know what kind of a scam

you're trying to pull here,
but I ain't buying it.

So I suggest you take
your sorry immigrant a*s

and get the f*ck off my...
- Immigrant?

Who are you calling
an immigrant?

I am an American, and I
am the owner, president,

and CEO of Chippendales
Enterprises Incorporated!

I am!

Do you got that?

- Trust me, you don't
want this fight.

- Sorry.
- No.

- I'm going to burn that
place to the ground.

- You shouldn't do that.

- You're right.

- You are going to do it.

- Jesus Chr...
- What?

- Remember the time you betrayed
me, sh**ting Otis's calendar?

You owe me, Ray.
- Look, Steve, th...

- Mr. Banerjee.

- Mr. Banerjee, come on.

I think you gotta get home,
have a beer, kiss your wife.

- You swore an oath
of loyalty, Ray.

- I know that.

- Then show me you meant it.

Turn it to channel five.
