Favoriete filmfantasie: Selma Hayek als Santanico Pandemonium in from Dusk till Dawn. Mmmm.
RAZOR CHARLIE
(announcer voice in
Spanish)
And now for your viewing pleasure.
The Mistress of the Macabre. The
Epitome of Evil. The most sinister
woman to dance on the face of the
earth. Lowly dogs, get on your
knees, bow your heads and worship
at the feet of SANTANICO PANDEMONIUM!
The lights go down low.
A light hits the stage.
The opening notes of the Coaster's "Down in Mexico" fills
the room.
The crowd hushes up.
And on the stage steps SANTANICO PANDEMONIUM.
This Mexican goddess is beautiful, but not the beauty that
Stendhal described in "As the Promise of Happiness," but the
beauty of the siren who lures men to their doom.
She dances to the raunchy music, not like she owned the
stage, but like she owned the world.
And if the patrons of the Titty Twister are her world, the
world is proud to be her possession.
All activity in the bar, save Santanico, stops.
Even the Fuller/Gecko table falls under her spell.
Especially Richard, Scott and Kate.
Seth knows this song and accompanies from the table with the
guitar.
When the music builds to its explosive section.
Santanico LEAPS from the stage, LANDING in the middle of the
room.
She does an eyes-closed voodoo dance in perfect step with
the beat.
As the music continues to play, a very ***-up looking
Chet Pussy walks in. He goes over to Razor Charlie and
points at Seth's table, describing what happened.
As the last verse plays, Santanico, like a snake, comes up
from the ground, on top of the Fuller/Gecko table.
Richard, Kate and Scott are enraptured.
Santanico scans the table, zeroing in on our boy Richard.
She STANDS OVER him.
While moving her body to the music, she lifts up the whisky
bottle from the table, and pours the whiskey down her leg.
She lifts up her foot, with the whiskey dripping from her
toes, and sticks it in Richard's face.
SANTANICO
(to Richard in Spanish)
Drink up.
Richie, mesmerized, sucks the whiskey off her toes.
The CROWD GOES WILD.
Santanico smiles, master of all she surveys.
Jacob and Scott are embarrassed.
Kate, oddly enough, is turned on by the controlling power
this woman has over a man she's deathly feared.
Seth laughs out loud a Mexican "yi yi yiii" laugh, keeping
the beat with his guitar.
Across the room, Razor Charlie, Chet by his side, motions
over Big Emilio. He begins explaining with pointing what
Seth and company did to Chet.
Richard continues to suck her toes.
The song ends, Santanico extracts her foot from Richard's
mouth. Steps off the table. Takes a drink of whiskey.
Looks down at the seated Richard.
She GRABS the back of his hair, YANKS his head BACK.
His mouth OPENS because she's hurting him.
She LEANS her FACE OVER his like she's going to kiss him.
Then let's the whiskey from her mouth fall into his. They
never touch.
The crowd applauds.
She lets go of Richard's hair. Except for Jacob and
Richard, both for their own reasons, the table applauds,
none louder than Seth.
SETH
Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! Now that's
what I call a ***' show!
One of Santanico's FLUNKIES brings the naked woman a robe,
which she puts on.
Richard, still in a daze, looks up at his new friend.
SETH
(snapping his fingers)
Earth to Richie. Don't you wanna
ask your new friend to join us?
RICHARD
Yeah.
SETH
Well, then ask her, dumb ass.
RICHARD
(looking up at Santanico)
For favor, Senorita. Would you
care to join us?
SANTANICO
(to Richard)
Muy bien, gracias.
