Tired of the everyday grind? Ever dream of a life of romantic adventure? Want to get away from it all? We offer you... Escape! Escape! Designed for you from the four walls of today for a half hour of high adventure.

You are making your way, tearful in the wall, through the dark Caribbean night. While I had a view, arms held out to you, and the most evil. Brings you herb-pertums, terrifying story.

In Taylor that night when it began, the little Honduran banana port simmered and stood in a sticky heat that made your bones soft in your skin wet. Even Chateau's casino wasn't much relief.

The usual handful of Japanese and caribs crowded around Chateau's warped and I'm tired from that table, while above the big ceiling fan slowly turned up the warm smokey air. Thank you, that number two win again, Captain Markham.

I'm heading to where I'm going. You've got it, Markham, all of it. I'm by a lucky night, man. You're so coming. Not me. I don't have lucky nights. That's so much. Is Ferdazio Rowen? Los Ciento mucho.

Yeah. I'm sorry, too. I was hoping you would not be coming to see me tonight, Owen. It's a monotonous world, Shadow. Every night you sit there on your stool, playing that mandolin and watching me lose money.

Every night I lose it and come to you to borrow it back. It's a pretty dull circle. Oh, you? I don't want pity, just money. 500 ln periods. Oh, yes. Well, come on, let's have it.

You're in a hurry, Owen. Always in a hurry. I like to get places fast. I know, but I think maybe you're running so fast you miss what you are passing. Thanks for the philosophy, but I need the money more. What's the matter? My credit no good?
