Vincent digs into his Douglas Sirk steak. As he chews, his eyes scan the Hellsapopinish restaurant.

Mia comes back to the table.

MIA
Don't you love it when you go to the bathroom and you come back to find your food waiting for you?

VINCENT
We're lucky we got it at all. Buddy Holly doesn't seem to be much of a waiter. We shoulda sat in Marilyn Monroe's section.

MIA
Which one, there's two Marilyn Monroes.

VINCENT
No there's not.

Pointing at Marilyn in the white dress serving a table.

VINCENT
That's Marilyn Monroe...

Then, pointing at a BLONDE WAITRESS in a tight sweater and capri pants, taking an order from a bunch of FILM GEEKS --

VINCENT
...and that's Mamie Van Doren. I don't see Jayne Mansfield, so it must be her night off.

MIA
Pretty smart.

VINCENT
I have moments.

MIA
Did ya think of something to say?

VINCENT
Actually, there's something I've wanted to ask you about, but you seem like a nice person, and I didn't want to offend you.

MIA
Oooohhhh, this doesn't sound like mindless, boring, getting-to-know- you chit-chat. This sounds like you actually have something to say.

VINCENT
Only if you promise not to get offended.

MIA
You can't promise something like that. I have no idea what you're gonna ask. You could ask me what you're gonna ask me, and my natural response could be to be offended. Then, through no fault of my own, I woulda broken my promise.

VINCENT
Then let's just forget it.

MIA
That is an impossibility. Trying to forget anything as intriguing as this would be an exercise in futility.

VINCENT
Is that a fact?

Mia
nods her head: "Yes."

MIA
Besides, it's more exciting when you don't have permission.

VINCENT
What do you think about what happened to Antwan?

MIA
Who's Antwan?

VINCENT
Tony Rocky Horror.

MIA
He fell out of a window.

VINCENT
That's one way to say it. Another way is, he was thrown out. Another was is, he was thrown out by Marsellus. And even another way is, he was thrown out of a window by Marsellus because of you.

MIA
Is that a fact?

VINCENT
No it's not, it's just what I heard.

MIA
Who told you this?

VINCENT
They.

Mia and Vincent smile.

MIA
They talk a lot, don't they?

VINCENT
They certainly do.

MIA
Well don't by shy Vincent, what exactly did they say?

Vincent is slow to answer

MIA
Let me help you Bashful, did it involve the F-word?

VINCENT
No. They just said Rocky Horror gave you a foot massage.

MIA
And...?

VINCENT
No and, that's it.

MIA
You heard Marsellus threw Rocky Horror out of a four-story window because he massaged my feet?

VINCENT
Yeah.

MIA
And you believed that?

VINCENT
At the time I was told, it seemed reasonable. MIA Marsellus throwing Tony out of a four-story window for giving me a foot massage seemed reasonable?

VINCENT
No, it seemed excessive. But that doesn't mean it didn't happen. I heard Marsellus is very protective of you.

MIA
A husband being protective of his wife is one thing. A husband almost killing another man for touching his wife's feet is something else.

VINCENT
But did it happen?

MIA
The only thing Antwan ever touched of mine was my hand, when he shook it. I met Anwan once -- at my wedding -- then never again. The truth is, nobody knows why Marsellus tossed Tony Rocky Horror out of that window except Marsellus and Tony Rocky Horror. But when you scamps get together, you're worse than a sewing circle.

VINCENT
Are you mad?

MIA
Not at all. Being the subject of back-fence gossip goes with the right, I guess.

She takes a sip of her five-dollar shake, and says:

MIA
Thanks.

VINCENT
What for?

MIA
Asking my side.

At that moment, a great oldie-but-goodie BLASTS from the jukebox.

MIA
I wanna dance.

VINCENT
I'm not much of a dancer.

MIA
Now I'm the one gettin' gyped. I do believe Marsellus told you to take me out and do whatever I wanted. Well, now I want to dance.

Vincent smiles and begins taking off his boots. Mia triumphantly casts hers off. He takes her hand, escorting her to the dance floor. The two face each other for that brief moment before you begin to dance, than they both break into a devilish twist. Mia's version of the twist is that of a sexy cat. Vincent is pure Mr. Cool as he gets into a hip- swivelling rhythm that would make Mr. Checker proud....
