On the beach you'll see the girls in their bikinis, as cute as ever but they never get them wet

[Message to Big T]
Benjamin,

I have it on good authority that all your pocket money cannot buy you what you asked for. However, if you can bring yourself to drop the three zeros behind the two, you might also find it in you to be delighted that said two ladies will be available tomorrow afternoon.

Let me know if you'd like to pick them up yourself or if you would like me to make travel arrangements for them.

A falling blossom only touches lips that lie

Genuine appreciation overcomes wounded pride eventually like it always does, and Gambling shrugs off the sore loser's coat. He can see the humour in being bested on his own turf and reminds himself of what he tells the boy all the time: Safety will kill you.

[Delivered to Horror]
A wooden box containing the blood-stained carpet of the suite they shared, all the silk she wore, one of his shirts with lipstick on the collar, and the ashtray.

Did I remember to tell you that I adore you?

Let's put on a fresh layer of shine and welcome eager investors with open arms once again.

Now, who would you turn gay for?

But it wouldn't be make-believe if you believed in me

Boy sweet-talked me into coming home to watch a 'fantastic' show. Haven't felt this entertained for a while and during dinner said gentleman turned out to be charm on two feet as well. However, I don't think Vegas really needs a Scottish hotel. I could be persuaded but only with Mr Scotsman as the main act.

No? Didn't think so.

[Wayne]
Forgiven, boy.

Your sold soul business is still yours to sort out, though.

Atlantic City is nothing like Las Vegas and Wayne doesn't like it. What he likes even less is the man who wears the face and body of a god he's known all his life but is little more than a stranger right now. He doesn't want to stay, yet he cannot leave, not without permission, and he's too afraid to ask Gambling. So he tries to pass the days without drawing too much attention to himself - successfully so.

Until this morning. Waking up, feeling like he does, but not having any recollection of what exactly has happened the night before... Well, it's not a good feeling. At least, whoever has spent the night, has had the decency to leave while Wayne was still asleep.

Small blessings, he thinks, as he stumbles into the bathroom and stares at his reflection in the mirror. What the...? Oh
god.

Atlantic City. It is similar but not the same. Colder and less... but maybe that's him.

Circus Circus has recovered and the others are mostly silent. Ruling with an iron fist. Ruling with fear. It doesn't feel right. Nothing feels right.

Received a present today. I never want to hear that laugh again.

::: Got a light? No? What good are you? :::

Horror's dead body in his trunk, Gambling drives to Circus Circus. Once there, he drags her through the hotel by her hair and dumps the corpse at Carnival's door with a note pinned to her chest.

'Hit the road, Jack. You know how the song goes.'

::: or you're gonna get a hell of a lot fucking worse :::

You invest time and money into them, try to raise them right, but as soon as you take your eyes off for one second, they screw everything over. Time to cool your heels, little boy.

[Mona]
Thanks for the trinkets, honey, and the blinding whiteness. Little Jesus' daddy would turn green with envy.

Don't think you can jump off the hook that easily, though.

[Private]
Locked the boy away to deal with him later. He looks nice on a playing card.

Dents and blonde hair on my pillows, on my suits. Footprints in the carpets. Vermin in the streets.

Real, not real. Black poison crawling under my skin.

The ring Charlotte Corday wore when she murdered Jean-Paul Marat. No note.

[Delivered to Wayne]
A large box, containing what looks like a large bird costume.

Note: When she's done with you, don't come back. Go to Reynolds wearing this and do as he says. Always keep your promises, boy.

Dear Ms Libera,

Mr Devlin has informed me that I am to travel with you for a while. However, he wasn't able to provide me with a meeting point since we're currently not on speaking terms.... If you would be so kind as to let me know where you are currently residing, I will meet you there as soon as possible.

He sounded mildly... pleased? Still keeps his attention mostly focused on the 'guests' in the backyard but I could hear the smile in his voice.

I didn't do it to...

This wasn't supposed to be entertaining!

Do something with that money he says. Something? Something comes in many shapes and sizes.

Who said 'you have to be specific'? Oh right. That was you, Mister Devlin.
