Well that's a relief Scarlett........cos everytime I see you lately you seem to be playing craps.

Iv'e been around Black Bet too long I think I'm turning into her...

You men all look alike to me...

Ya know ( sorry what's your name? ah yes Tommy).. Ya know Tommy I am bored and I am in Vegas..So why shouldn't I share a little of the fun,
After all isn't that what Vegas is all about ?

So, Scarlett, you would have been only too happy for Roland to sell the hotel and move away from all the gambling and bankroll your film career. Which means that him being dead leaves you with sweet FA....especially as he hadn't even got round to marrying you. What a bugger, eh?

Come round and see me some time.. we can practice together  beautiful..

Chip     how could you say Hello my old camel-mounting friend?   have we not grown to understand each other ...... you make me weep .....i sense an insult to my mounting prowees hidden within your remarks  that any one of my wives would be quick and glad to refute  


As for asking what gave me the impression Roland wouldn't last a year running Sweaty Palms?

I don't know... I have been hurt bad... you might just disappear on me

As for your last question....... people need to be careful asking questions like that in a place like this. You never know who may be listening




Tommy, what happened to all of those wives of Rolands?

Sheesh the Brator is buzzing tonight. She must be on Duracell ..

I was doing a private dance for Chip and the Sheik


The same Chip and Sheikh who claim they have never met before?

SHEIKH......YOUR QUOTE IS ALL SQUISHED.

Sheesh the Brator is buzzing tonight. She must be on Duracell ..



I am feeling a tad rampant tonight....

Noo Scarlet we could paint a wonderful picture together.. I can be your canvas and you can paint a masterpiece

 ah Vi I am feeling that I too am squished ... another day i would be looking for your help do inflate me *coughs* today i just look for ze Night nurse

What's her name Sheik I'll put a tanoy announcement out for her

I have been hurt bad... you might just disappear on me




Plus he is skint Scarlett.

 how did he do that squishy thing?

ah Vi I am feeling that I too am squished ... another day i would be looking for your help do inflate me *coughs* today i just look for ze Night nurse




*passes Shiekh a brandy..thrusts out bosom*


there you go honey, see if that perks you up.

Looks daggers at Vi

Waits for the scaffolding to collapse 

how did he do that squishy thing?




Magic!

Waits for the scaffolding to collapse 




I'm sure your magic hands could save the day, Harry.

Ready and waiting Vi  (and always hoping)

*In the distance* " Taxi for Mr Houdiddledme"  Crap that's me off for the night  see you all later

Hey Sheikin Stevens (see what I did there?) sorry about the camel reference I know you like to keep your 'other' sex life private. So it was a bit of joshing eh?

Were you surprised he nearly won the bet? There's a lot of folk round here very surprised he didn't.

Chip i thank you for your courtesy ..... I will honour you with the keys to the "Ride of A Thousand Camels Experience" should you choose to visit my wives and I in my humble palace in the desert when this is done


I 'ave to say I was a leetle surprised ..... I watch, and I listen , and it seemed to me that it was his daughter jen that did all the work to run the Casino.   A man should pay attention to his precious things ..... I would allow no other to look after my beautiful wives  *nods sagely*

Ooh that's interesting. I wonder if his little darlink grew tired of doing all the work for him? She does seem to mourn his death in a terribly dramatic third-rate soap opera stylee...

uh huh    the very same guys - couldn't miss their drooling chins and eyes like bugs 

I said we'd never met till I came here. Keep up folks 

 Oh the Dame is on her game today! clicky 

 I wouldn't be surprised if we had another victim before this game is finished! 

So I decided to take Scarlett up on her offer to show her a few new tricks. That's the kind of guy I am, accommodating. All I'm gonna say is she sure learns fast. She shouldn't have left me alone in her room while she went to refill our drinks. I was expecting a long night dealing my cards while she leant across the table if you folks get my drift. I was not expecting to find this note under her dressing table when I decided to strike up a smoke and dropped my lighter in a semi-drunken haze and went to retrieve it.

 

So yeah. It looks like Roland wanted more private entertainment than Scarlett was prepared to give. You could almost call it blackmail. No, strike that. It was extortion. In return for Scarlett's private favours he diminished her gambling debts. No time frame on when it was ever gonna end. I wouldn't like that. Scarlett wouldn't either. Would you?

Would it be reason enough to kill him? I would say so.

Kind of makes a mockery of her claims that she loved him and they were to be married, doesn't it?

well now what do we have here - Ms Scarlett will live up to her name when her face goes Scarlett at this juicy revelation       ------------------->  Scarlett.   She'll be in a right ole fever (Scarlett fever) trying to deny these claims 


It's no wonder she can't keep of the carps tables and the roulette wheel - it would seem she's as good a gambler as she is an actress 


And what a cheeky mare to question my morals    I may do the odd bit of private dancing to supplement  my salary but I sure as hell don't put it out - not even for the boss   or should that be HONEY BUN  


Oh darn it - I think I may just have broken a rib laughing so much 

*passes Candi the painkillers*


I really can't wait to see how old Scarlett O DearyMeIAmNowtButATartAfterAll is going to get out of this one! What with the article condeming gambling in a magazine and now the revelation that she is addicted herself..tut tut.

hmmmmmmmmm  this is all getting curiouser and curiouser. .

I have a few questions for Bet, Tommy, Scarlet and Harry. .I've left them in the Cocktail bar. . 


*Saunters off puffing on pipe in thoughtful mood *

*legs it over to the incident room to see if old Sholmes has managed to unearth anything else*

Wouldn't bother running too fast. .Sholmes seems to have overindulged on the Laudanum and has had a brain melt. .isn't sure what the eck is going on..
