Kentucky Girl

The good news is
This is good stuff
Really good stuff
Guy's mother's from Scovie
He knows good shit
The Scovie boys deal
Like they make cheese in Minnesota
Not that I do this all the time
But when you have to be up twenty-seven hours in a row
Rolling a deal back and forth
Over and over again
Waiting for a New England boy to pony up
Then you sample the local fare
And you get yourself on a winning streak, okay?

This is all just Business 101
Don't look so shocked

I'm glad I didn't put the moves on you earlier
Knowing what a prude you are

This is 2012
This is the way we do business
Jesus, when did you graduate?
How old are you?
You have your M.B.A
You have licenses, right?

I'm from a Kentucky
I'm your average Kentucky girl
And even I know things
I mean, I learned things
I understand things
And you're standing there
Looking at me
Because a guy's showing up
And he's handing me shit
And suddenly I'm no better than a whore

When Curtis took you out
When he took you to Toronto
Don't tell me it was all one big Boy Scout jamboree
Because I know how Curtis likes to party
I've partied with Curtis
And I know you boys weren't in bed by nine

So cut the shit
And cut the judgmental eyes
Because we have to be up in two hours
To nail this deal
Or we're not going back to New York
With jobs
Or balls
Or guts
Okay?

You know, I came up from Kentucky
Six years ago
And Curtis took me out right away

Took me to--Jesus, I don't know
Fresno, I think

I think we went to Fresno

And I'm, you know, excited
Because he's telling me about
Twenty thousand dollar checks
And I'm psyched
I mean, I'm really psyched
And then...

Then he says--you party?

And I say--Sure

Thinking he means
Like, dancing and some drinking, maybe
Maybe some pot, right?
I mean, god, I wasn't stupid
But then...

...Curtis can get carried away...

But I got my check
Twenty grand

More than anybody I know
Has ever seen
Ever

So what am I going to do?

Complain?

Go back home?

Shovel shit
And deal cards
At the new casino?

Please

I'm a person now
I'm a real person
I'm not going back
To the land of make-believe

Not a chance

So I party

And I get good at it

And now you're joining the party
And good for you

You're lucky you got me showing you the ropes

You coulda had Curtis

Lucky you

Trust me

Lucky you
