Candi: "No...way!



Candi: "An afternoon of centilegs and jumping rooftops in a crude outfit, and even stopping a pickpocket, this seemed like a perfect day! But this?"

She had been given the week off, with her boss's blessing. She had foiled some more crimes in the dark of the night, making improvements to her crude suit. But when she came back to work at the Hazy Eighty's...there wasn't one!



Gretchen: "Hey...aren't I just a hottie?"

Victor: "Oh, you sure are! I can see them lighting up for you as we speak!"



The entire scene was baffling to Candi, who had simply no clue what to make of the situation! This Victor guy didn't just buy Hazy Eighty's, he destroyed it!



Candi: "What the heck happened here? I'm gone one week, and the whole thing is..."



Victor: "Oh, you! You must be that Candi bitch I was informed about! Didn't that schmuck inform you? I run this joint now, little tat!"

Candi: "So you must be..."

Victor: "Victor Nanale! But you can just call me...the Love Machine!"



Candi immediately knew something was very wrong with Victor; but she couldn't quite pin it. What was he trying to corner her into? She decided to tell a white lie to cover her tracks.

Candi: "I'll pass. I'm already considering engagement to someone else!"

Victor: (half-snorting) "Oh...I hope he likes 'em…hot!"



Candi: "You disgusting pig!"

Victor: "Hey! That's no way to talk to me, Missy! I’ll smack dat fannie of yours into shape!"

Candi: "When you signed on, did you fail to read the part about sexual harassment guidelines? You've been doing nothing but..."

Victor: "Puttin' you in yo’ place, slut! See my two hoes over there? You're gonna learn to SUBMIT! Just like them!"

Candi: "What? I don’t believe this!"



Victor: "Ha ha ha!!! Gretch! Get our new S&M babe up to date with the program!"



Victor: "I said Gretch!"

Brandi: "Trust me! I've got the skills!"

Candi was already wondering...was this all just a dream she had walked into? It was already a nightmare!

Brandi: "Hazy Eighty's is all over, hun! We're not gonna be servin' drinks no more! We're gonna be showin' off what we got for all them hot dudes out there!"



Candi: "Is she for real?"

Victor: "That's right! Why don't you stop by my place, and I'll get you more comfortable with your new job description...my…Candi Apple!!!"



Candi: "Eww!! Don't you remember? I just told you, I already have a man!"

Victor: "So what? You…need to be broken into! He'll like it better when there's room...and competition!"

She couldn't believe what this man was saying to her! He was no respectable business man - he was a pimp!

Candi: "Why does everyone in this town think I'm easy!!! ? I came here to work at a bowling alley, not prostitute myself for a man who hates God!"



Victor: "Ah...wrong answer! And don't give me the whole lecture! I know all that stuff! You think I care? I'm a made man! I dress like a nobody cause I like living this way!"

Candi: "Then I quit!"

Victor: "Oh, come on! You'll make a lot more money as a stripper here than you ever made at that stupid bowling alley!"



Candi: "I'm not concerned about money! Sir! You know what kinds of crowds are drawn in by strip clubs, if that's what you intend to build! This is a residential neighborhood! With a lot of kids that…"

Victor: "It's a college town with a lot of horny students! That's money for me, toots! As for the kids, well, that's their problem! It would do them some good to get a little experience!"



Could she believe her ears? Did he just say that? That was the kind of talk of someone from the Kerpher Gang! Was this new Victor Nanale a member? It would explain his poor judgment on where to build a strip club.

Victor: "What's the matter now, angel girl?"



Candi: "You! You're...."

Victor: "A what?"

Candi: "Kerph..."

Victor: "Yeah? What are you gonna do about it??? You're fired! If I see you around here again, I'll rape ya!"



Victor: "In fact...ladies...break her in!!!"



Resisting the urge to use her centilegs, Candi quickly put up a few moves, and the two strippers were easily defeated!



Victor: "You'll NEVER see the end of me!!!"

Candi: "Maybe, maybe not! You're as slippery as something you've probably used far too often! But the legacy of Hazy Eighty's will live on! You come for me again, and I'll knock down your hookers just as easily next time!"



Victor: "Fair enough! But I have legal rights to this building! And the police and district ain't told me what I can't do yet! So just you go home, little doll, and let your boyfriend do his worst!

Besides, next time, I'll bring big, sweaty guys to teach you some respect! What's there for a college girl like you to do? Get with the program!!! I’ll let you lick them while they kick you around!"
