Pam & Tommy (2022) s01e06 Episode Script

Bob Guccione, he's got the tape.
All I know is, we're suing the shit out of him.
Suing him for what? He's do anything to stick it to Hef.
Tommy's absolutely right.
If he's not planning to do anything and we sue, he could suddenly decide to do it to get back at us.
Nobody's robbing Bob Guccione of his God-given right to free expression.
It was the right move.
He was gonna do it whether we sued or not.
Don't just shut up.
Shut up.
Shut up! "Counsel for defendants will take the deposition of Pamela Anderson Lee.
" Why why is it just me? I don't know why they need to talk to either of us.

Where the fuck are you going, Pam? America.
Mrs.
Lee, if you're having trouble remembering, - perhaps I can - Objection to the inference that my client possesses a faulty memory.
Please let the record state the defense has not been permitted one clarifying follow-up question of the deponent without objection from the plaintiff's counsel.
Oh, for the love I will continue to object until you comport yourself in a manner you know what? Off the record, don't be a shmuck, Bruce.
Off the record, then stop with the theatrics, Sandy.
I'm gonna get some tea.
Excuse me, gentlemen.
No, no, no, no, no.
We will get it.
Tea, now.
Cream, sugar? Just black, thanks.
Shall we resume? Yeah.
You told us you met your husband, Thomas Lee Bass, on or around December 31, 1994.
That's correct.
And what were the circumstances of that meeting? I was socializing with friends.
And where were you socializing? At a club in Los Angeles.
Did you know anything at all about Mr.
Lee before you met him? Like everyone in America, I knew he was the drummer for Motley Crue.
And when Mr.
Lee approached you at the club, did you find him attractive? I liked his smile.
I still do.
Thank you.
Were you aware of his reputation as someone who engaged in the services of prostitutes? Tommy didn't pay women for sex.
So he never had sexual relations with prostitutes? Well, a prostitute, by definition, is somebody who gets paid for sex.
So I'm not sure that works.
- Mrs.
Lee.
- Yes.
Have you ever been paid for sex? - No.
- Hmm.
Do you need a moment to reflect on that question? That's something I would remember.
So you've never received money for performing a sex act? - No.
- Objection.
Asked and answered.
Would that mean you don't consider posing naked for a camera to be a sex act? Oh, my God.
I do not.
Welcome to the Playboy Mansion, Miss Anderson.
It looks like a castle.
It's just Hey, thanks, Nelson.
Thank you.

- Hi, Simon.
- Hi.
Come with me.
Sorry, can can I just Just take one moment? Of course.
Hey.
All right.
Well, is there anything I need to know? You know, angles to avoid, bad sides? Actually, I don't think you have a bad side.
So what exactly are Are we shooting? Well, I thought we'd start over here by the window, you looking out, gauzy curtains.
And then we'd pop you down on the balcony and you can do sort of a stretchy, greeting-to-the-morning-sun type thing, you know? Okay.
But I mean, which parts? Parts? Never fear, dear.
This is Playboy, not Penthouse.
We like to keep things classy here.
Oh, yeah.
Totally.
- So - Yes.
Remember to have fun.
Okay.
And make love to the camera.
That's it.
Oh, totally gorgeous.
Exactly.
Oh, yes.
You're like a ray of sunshine, you are.
All right, try and find your light on your right cheek.
- Find a light in the window.
- In the window? Yeah, keep looking at me.
That's it.
Do you care to lose a bit of the blouse? Completely up to you, whatever you feel comfortable with.
Sure.
Great.
That's it.
Look at you.
How long have you been hiding that? Total natural.
Wow.
Look at you, Pamela.
Keep position over here.
The forest nymph.
That's it.
You sure you haven't done this before? Absolutely top marks.
Well done, love.
What? That's it.
Ladies and gentlemen, Pamela Anderson.
Well done, love.
The lady of the hour.
Hi.
- Did you have fun today? - Sure did.
I feel like Alice in Wonderland.
Good.
Let me get us a drink.
To the good life.
To your good life.
Cheers.
Please, join me.
This is gonna sound like I'm giving you a line, but I'm not.
Women like you, Pam, they come around once in a generation.
Oh, God.
I don't know about that.
Oh, I do.
I'm not saying it to be nice.
I'm saying it because it's true.
You are special.
Well, I certainly feel special right now.
Good.
You should get used to that.
And the sooner you do, the happier you'll be.
Could I be so bold as to offer some advice? You already are.
People will pay you to be the Pamela that they want.
The tabloids, the studios, even me.
But that number, that dollar figure will never represent what you are worth.
Are you saying you got a deal? - I should ask for more.
- Always.
Don't forget.
Separate your price from your worth.
You do that, and you can be any version of Pam you need to be and still remember who you are.
Well, Mr.
Hefner, women have been doing that for centuries.
Playing parts is nothing new.
True.
But you're not in Ladysmith, Canada, anymore.
Now it's the whole world that will be watching.
Such a pleasure to be in your company.
You are always welcome at the Mansion.
You know, I might just take you up on that.
I look forward to it.
So I saw a bunch of the girls in the Mansion today, and the one thing I noticed was that they all have - Okay.
- And I just you know.
The shoot seemed to go good and everything.
You know, if I do more, I just I mean, nothing major.
Just like, a cup size, two at most.
You know, like your boobs, Mom.
You got the best boobs.
Your father never complains.
So what do you think? - What do I think? - Yeah.
I think God made you perfect just the way you are.
But if you wanna try and top him Get outta here.
- No, honey.
- Really? Yeah, sure.
I mean, whatever you want.
Just turn off the light, please.
I'm so tired.
Is it gonna be okay? Is what gonna be? You know Everything.
Oh, honey.
It's going to be wonderful.
Did you pose for the magazine again? - I did, yes.
- When was that? October '89, February '91, July '92, August '93, November '94, and January of this year.
- They clearly like you.
- And I them.
On that, you have, in interviews, described your relationship with Hugh Hefner as "like a father to me" and that you are "very close, I consider him a great friend.
" Do you concur with these statements? I do, yes.
Do you know who Bob Guccione is? Something funny, Mrs.
Lee? Not at all.
Then could you answer my question, please? Bob Guccione is the founder and publisher of Penthouse magazine.
As a "close friend" of Mr.
Hefner's, you must be aware of Mr.
Guccione and Mr.
Hefner's strong mutual dislike of one another, hmm? Yes, I am.
If Mr.
Hefner discovered that you had engaged in a business transaction with Mr.
Guccione, he would probably regard that as a betrayal, no? Probably, yes.
So therefore, if you wanted to expose yourself, no pun intended, to Penthouse's readers without jeopardizing your good standing at Playboy, might one way to do so be to slip your materials to Mr.
Guccione, say, under the guise of a leaked tape? I wouldn't do something like that.
Well, isn't it true that for the past three Playboy covers, you have received a near negligible increase - in compensation? - No.
No, you haven't received a near negligible increase in compensation? No, Mr.
Hefner and I, we've negotiated a Before each shoot, a mutually agreed-upon figure we're both happy with.
Can you think of any financial benefits that you might stand to reap from Penthouse being given a copy of a tape containing pornographic images of yourself? None whatsoever.
Then perhaps you can provide a reason as to why you and Mr.
Lee would make a pornographic tape if it wasn't, like all of your other pornographic activities, for the purpose of financial gain.
Wait, have we got everything? Oh, we got it all, baby.
Yeah, we do.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Let's go.
Ah, yes.
No.
- Say hello, Mrs.
Lee.
- Hello, Mrs.
Lee.
Where are we heading, Mrs.
Lee? Heaven.
Let's do this.
Let's do it.
I love you so much.
This is gonna be the best week of our lives.
What's that for? We need your testimony to verify the identity of the individuals represented on your tape as well as provide context for certain sections.
I'm sorry, what? Why? You want me to watch the tape? Just a few parts.
Oh, my God.
No.
I'm so sorry, Pam.
You can't be serious.
It'll be over in just a minute.
You know, she could tell you who's on the tape.
You don't have to watch the whole damn thing.
Hey, baby.
- Is this for me? - Yeah.
Can you confirm who the two individuals are on this clip? My husband and I.
Can you identify the road on which it took place? Probably an hour outside Malibu.
So I-15 North, does that sound right? - Yes.
- That's a major interstate.
You notice other vehicles while you were driving on it? Yes.
Were you at all concerned that other motorists might be able to see what you were doing? - No.
- Why is that? Come on.
I just wasn't.
Well, were you concerned about the prospect of truck drivers, with their elevated advantage point, being able to see into your vehicle while you were performing oral copulation on Mr.
Lee? No.
Because you felt that it was unlikely that they would be able to do so or because you didn't care if they did? Objection.
Compound beyond scope.
All right.
Next clip.
Three.
Three at least.
Five, enough for their own band.
But spaced out.
But we won't spoil We won't spoil them.
No, promise me.

No, what body of water was it? As I said, we were on Lake Mead, Arizona.
While you were engaged in sexual intercourse on the bow of your boat, were you aware of the presence of any other boats? No, it was that part of the lake was empty.
Would it have been possible, while engaged in sexual intercourse, for another boat to have come into view? No, it's We'd have heard a motor.
But it would have been possible, yes? I suppose so.
Yes.
Was that exciting to you and your husband? No.
No.
- All right, next clip.

Feeling a little dizzy.
