[Sam enters the gym]
Sam Sylvia : Okay. I said I'd do anything, so here we fucking are. Okay.
[clears throat]
Sam Sylvia : Hello, ladies. I'm Sam Sylvia. Today, we're just gonna be doing first looks and first cuts.
Ruth : Are there sides?
Arthie Premkumar : I didn't get any sides.
Sam Sylvia : This is how this is gonna go, all right? No more talking. Just sit there, and look at me and smile. Okay?
Cherry Bang : How about you tell us what the hell we're doing here?
Sam Sylvia : Oh... hi, Cherry.
Cherry Bang : Hey, baby.
Sam Sylvia : How you doin', baby? Mm-hmm.
Cherry Bang : Good. This another one of your trashy vampire movies?
Sam Sylvia : What? No. This is not a movie. This is GLOW.
Ruth : Sorry, what's GLOW?
Sam Sylvia : Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. This is a wrestling television show. Only ladies. Lady wrestling. Just like the big guys, but girls. Get it? Girl on girl.
Arthie Premkumar : So like, Hulk Hogan?
Sam Sylvia : If one of you turns out to be like Hulk Hogan, I've hit the fucking jackpot.
[several girls raise their hands]
Sam Sylvia : All right, take it easy. This is what's happening, all right. Yes, this is a wrestling show. And yes, you're all gonna have to actually wrestle on cable television for thousands of people. That means... tit grabs. Cunt punches. Shrinky dinks. That move that looks like a catfight, but fancy. Did I say cunt punches? Okay, good. So, if any of you have a problem with, uh, doing a wrestling show, I suggest you leave now.
[half the attendees begin to leave the gym]
Sam Sylvia : Thank you. Really? You're going? Thank you.
[Sam lights up a cigarette. Jenny is about to walk out when she decides to stay]
Sam Sylvia : What happened there? You just... decided? All right, for those remaining, congratulations. You've made it through the first round of cuts. Pretty painless, right? All right, so I guess what we gotta do now is, I'm gonna sit over there, and you guys are gonna line up, get your headshots out, and I'm also gonna have you sign a waiver in case of, uh, serious injury and/or death.

Sam Sylvia : Resume gets a little thin after 1979.
Cherry Bang : Movies get a little white after 1979. You've seen my stunts. I can kick. I can punch. I can do horse work, car work.
Sam Sylvia : Yeah, yeah. I know you can double. But can you act?
[Cherry pretends to point a gun at Sam]
Cherry Bang : Freeze, motherfucker.
[Sam puts his hands up]
Sam Sylvia : Next.
[Arthie walks forward, looking at Cherry]
Arthie Premkumar : Wow.
Sam Sylvia : Yeah, I'm gonna need you to do that too.

[Debbie slaps Ruth, to the shock of the other ladies]
Debbie : I don't know... I don't know what I'm supposed to do.
Ruth : It just happened.
Debbie : Haven't you learned anything from that sad fucking scene study class? Things don't just happen. People make choices. They want things, and then they go for them.
Ruth : Can we go somewhere and talk about this?
Debbie : I don't wanna fucking talk to you. I wanna... I wanna kick you ass. And then I never want to see you again.
[Debbie chases after Ruth]
Ruth : No!
Debbie : Come on!
Ruth : I'm not gonna fight you!
Reggie Walsh : Fight her! Do it!
Debbie : Come on!
Ruth : Debbie!
[Debbie grabs Ruth from behind, but Ruth hits her in the face with her elbow]
Ruth : I'm sorry.
[Debbie chases after Ruth again]
Debbie : Fucker!
Arthie Premkumar : Is this real?
Melanie Rosen : Who the fuck cares?
[as Sam watches Ruth and Debbie fight, he envisions them in an actual GLOW match. Salty snaps Sam out of it]
Salty 'The Sack' Johnson : Sam! Sam! Should we call it?
Sam Sylvia : Yeah. Call it.
[Salty slides in the ring to count the pinfall, as Debbie has Ruth pinned to the mat and Ruth helplessly looks at Sam]
Salty 'The Sack' Johnson : One! Two! Three!
