Anyways, after they arrive in LA they hook up with Dick (Michael Rapaport), Clarence’s best friend who helps them shift the drugs. Dick gets some help from his pal Elliott who is personal assistant to big shot producer Lee.CM Capture 16

Elliott calls Lee and sets up the meeting.CM Capture 17

In the meantime, Alabama goes back to the hotel where she is greeted by the bloke who wants his drugs back.CM Capture 18

Undoubtedly the best scene in the film. Alabama is knocked around by the drug guy, even after a beating she manages to plunge a cork screw into her attacker then rub soap in his eyes then finish him off with the cork screw. Before grabbing his gun shooting him and beating him with it.
