Deleted Scene: Boogie Nights, Bill & His Wife #2

More with Little Bill & His Wife on the way to the Adult Film Awards.


               INT. LITTLE BILL'S STATION WAGON - MOVING - DAY

               Little Bill is driving.  His Wife is in the passenger seat.  
               Becky and Rollergirl are in the back.  Little Bill's Wife 
               looks at Little Bill, then looks away.  BEAT.  Little Bill 
               looks at his wife.

                                     LITTLE BILL'S WIFE
                         ...what...?

                                     LITTLE BILL
                         Please.  On this trip...don't 
                         embarrass me.

               She doesn't say anything.  Suddenly, she SMACKS him in the 
               face. 

                                     LITTLE BILL'S WIFE
                         Fuck you.

               Little Bill holds his eye.  Becky and Rollergirl stay quiet.

  1. I love domestic issues! Especially those where the balance of power is unequal in bizarre ways!

  2. This must also be why nobody respects "little" Bill and is indifferent to his injustice, I see how Becky Barnett always looked at him in the film as if "Oh...its you again", she looks at him like he is undeserving of care and compassion, and not a real man. Roller Girl is just a hopped up floozie, who is to high to connect with anyone.
