![]() ![]() However, their legal troubles are just beginning. The bad guys are caught, and Chuck and Bill are saved. Fortunately the two guys bill brought back are undercover cops and a shootout ensues. ![]() They walk in and see the two pimps having Chuck tied up to a gurney and pumping him full of water. Meanwhile Bill is out scouting customers and when he finds a pair of Johns, he brings them back to the morgue to get the encumbered with some ladies. Belinda storms out to her next trick and Bill has to drive her, leaving Chuck behind.Īs Chuck sits along in the dark, the door to his office opens and in walks two other pimps – apparently Chuck and Bill have been cutting in on their action, and they’ve come to exact revenge. ![]() So Chuck and Belinda have it out and the two say some things that they cant take back. Because as all men know – as soon as you have sex with a woman, her life can never be the same again. To his surprise, Belinda shows up, ready for work.Ī stunned Chuck cant believe it. He tells Bill that he doesn’t think Belinda will be doing turning any more tricks. After a quickie in the bathtub, Chuck shows up at work with a whole new outgoing attitude. One day, Chuck and Belinda find themselves alone in the apartment and Chuck confesses his feelings that he’s hot for her. Never thinking about the consequences, Bill presses forward with Chuck in tow. They’re raking in loads of cash, but Chuck has a feeling they’re close to getting caught. Realizing he needs a little change in life, Chuck takes up Bill’s idea and they become “LOVE BROKERS” – running the whole operation out of the morgue at night. This doesn’t set well with the family and they all decide to plan out Chuck’s future for him. Belinda is in jail because one of the guys she was with tried to take a refund and she bit him – but who can blame him – lets face it, if you’re going to spend twenty bucks on Shelley Long, you’d better get some change. They all head down to night court for Chuck to bail Belinda out. Unfortunately Chuck is in the middle of Thanksgiving dinner with his mom and future in-laws. Then after Belinda gets arrested on Thanksgiving, she calls Chuck to come bail her out. Naturally the mild mannered Chuck refuses and blows it off. When chuck tells this to Bill, Bill gets a great idea – they have all the space and all those cars down at the morgue – no one is there at night watching them – they could be pimps to Belinda and all her friends, or as Bill likes to refer to it – “LOVE BROKERS.” Chuck helps Belinda and the two form a fast friendship, and since they both get home from work at the same time, they start having breakfast together.Ĭhuck learns that the reason Belinda got beat up is because she no longer has a pimp – and that all her friends are in the same boat. Belinda ( Shelley Long) is a hooker with a heart of gold – which she needs because she has no breasts. Chuck knows that his peaceful nighttime gig will no longer be so peaceful as he’ll have to deal with his new partner night after night.Īrriving home one morning, Chuck finds his neighbor Belinda beaten up and laying in the elevator. Like being shot out of a cannon, Billy Blaze hits Chuck with a barrage of questions, solutions and get-rich quick ideas. The silence is quickly and jarringly broken by the horrendous vocals to Jumping Jack Flash – and in storms Billy “Blaze” Blazejowski ( Michael Keaton). Once at work he settles into his peaceful, quite routine. On his first night at work, Chuck braves the mean streets of New York as he makes his way to the morgue – constantly going against the grain of human traffic. Then once day, he gets demoted down to the night shift – much to the dismay of his very neurotic and weight-obsessed fiancé, Charlotte, who cant understand why he works there in the first place since he is a financial genius. It’s quiet – everyone leaves him alone – and he has plenty of time to read the wall street journal. So he takes a job at the local morgue babysitting stiffs. Henry Winkler plays Chuck Lumley – a mild mannered stockbroker who doesn’t have the backbone to survive in the dog-eat-dog world of big finance. Such is the premise for the 1982 comedy Night Shift. What do you do in the 1980s when you’re bored? Well if you live in New York City, you head down to the local morgue to get laid. ![]()
