Sonny Talks Karen Into Stripping

special thanks to MBC for contributing the transcripts!

Background: Sonny and Stone just had a talk about the people who were looking for him. Sonny has just met Karen and now they're watching a stripper on the stage. It's the "prosecutor"

St: (disgusted look on his face) "She shouldn't give up her day job."
(Sonny and Stone laugh)
S: "Maybe she's better in court." (Sonny looks at Karen)
K: "How much is the grand prize?"
St: "300 bucks!"
K: "300... Wow, that's a lot of money for five minutes of self expression!"
S: "Oh, so you WERE listening!"
K: (slightly shrugged) "I was enthralled."
S: "The funny thing is the money is secondary. Look at her eyes."
K: (looking at her) "What am I looking for?"
S: "The control. It's the control, not the money. The control."

SCENE 2

St: "A couple of good ones. Not a bad night."
K: "That was fair."
S: "Hold back some of that enthusiasm. What do you think was missing?"
K: "I don't know. It's like you've seen one you've seen them all."
S: "Exactly! To be really good at something, you have to transcend the mundane. Be unpredictable. Don't give them what they want, what the expect."
K: "How do you do that when everyone in here expects strippers to strip?"
S: "So you don't."
K: "What?"
S: "Never take it all off. Take your audience to the edge, and leave them there."
St: "Any bets on the winner?"
S: "What do you say Carrie?"
K: "I don't think we've seen a winner yet."
S: "Well you're welcome to show us what we've been missing."
St: "You've gotta be kidding me man."
S: "Am I kidding Carrie?"
K: "I've never met a dare I couldn't take."
