Scaramanga turned to the young Captain Turnips.
"What are your thoughts on all-you-can-eat prime rib buffets?" Scaramanga asked disarmingly.
Somewhat surprised, Captain Turnips took a moment to gather his wits and replied, "That depends on 'the where' Monsieur Scaramanga."
"I sincerely hope you aren't trying to trick me" Turnips added for good measure.
"Ahh, of course not," Scaramanga answered silkily, "Its in Macau, at the Casino Lisboa."
Turnips touched forefinger to chin thoughtfully, "Excellent, Dutch-treat then?"
Scaramanga countered with another proposal.
"What about a little wager instead?"
This is perfect. It leads into other action. Macau is just decadent enough to be a natural resting spot for our world weary time travellers.
ReplyDeleteI hope Nemo doesn't bet away the Nautilus when he gets to the casino!
ReplyDeleteI also hope that the casino is smoke-free. However, as it is located in China, I see little hope for this (Although in 1966 I guess is was Portugal. But, as Nemo is still in the 1800's, yet still heading for our adventurers, I am choosing to ignore these pesky time incongruities).
